At this moment, Shi Yu walked into an alley and took out his phone. He said to the receiving end, “The mission is completed. Send me the remaining 3,000,000.”

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, “3,000,000?”

The hoarse voice gradually increased in volume and said, “Don’t you think that your mission this time is a little too ostentatious?”

“Hmph! You swaggered out after killing someone.”

“Do you know that your face has already been seen by the guards? They have already captured it!”

“There are a lot of troublesome things that followed; I haven’t even calculated it with you. It’s only 1,000,000.” Until the last sentence, the voice actually sounded a little angry.

Shi Yu listened to the series of questioning voices on the other end of the phone, frowned, and said, “You followed me?”

“You don’t care how the matter is handled, as long as the person you want to kill is already dead.”

With a cold snort, he said, “Even if my face is photographed, if the police want to arrest me, they will arrest me. What does it have to do with you guys? If the money from the back doesn’t reach my account by tonight, you know the consequences.”

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at the sky, muttering to himself, “Things have become a little interesting.”

After returning to the basement, Shi Yu cleaned up his clothes and threw them into the furnace to be burned. This was also a habit of Shi Yu. He never left behind any of the clothes he had worn during the mission.

After taking a hot bath, he quietly fell asleep.

But at this moment

On the other end of the phone that Shi Yu hung up on, a man was sitting in front of the office with a cigar in his hand. He said scornfully, “What right does he have to hang up on me and even threaten me?”

“Hmph, what can you do to me if I don’t transfer the rest of the money over? How dare a pawn in chess talk to Wang like that?”

If Shi Yu were here, he would have realized that this man had also attended today’s banquet. It turned out that this man just could not stand the new project developed by the drone company. If someone died, they would not be able to hold this banquet; in this way, their stock market would also be significantly affected.

The man looked at the secretary and said, “Find another killer and settle this. The price is just 1 million.”

Hearing the boss’s words, the secretary immediately nodded and went to do it.

While Shi Yu slept peacefully…

Another killer had already started to plan how to take his life.

Looking at the mission and photos in his hands:

“Mission: assassinate the killer at the drone company’s banquet yesterday. 1 million.”

Looking at the photo of Shi Yu standing in the crowd in a windbreaker, the killer laughed. There were few such lucrative deals because Shi Yu’s previous level was well known in the killer world. Even some shop owners would mock him behind his back.

The killer wiped his gun, but he was already thinking about how to spend the 1 million. It was as if he had already judged Shi Yu as a dead man.

Then, the assassin used the surveillance footage transmitted by his employer and used hacking to crack the surveillance system of that section of the road to find Shi Yu’s residence.

Looking at the computer screen showing Shi Yu walking into the basement, the assassin silently said, “The cat-and-mouse game has begun.”

The next day, Shi Yu saw himself on the news. Sure enough, he was already wanted by the police. Seeing the delayed transfer information on his phone, he redialed the number.

“What? You want the one million now?” replied a contemptuous voice from the other end of the phone.

Shi Yu said to the phone, “You seem to have forgotten one thing. which is more important than your life?”

The voice from the other end of the phone came again, “Then, do you think I can only hire one assassin… you?”

At that moment, Shi Yu felt a chill in his bones. A sense of crisis still came from his heart, and he hurriedly bounced up from his sofa.

The moment he bounced up, a cold muzzle was pressed against Shi Yu’s head from behind.

Looking behind him, it turned out that the assassin had already entered his home. Shi Yu felt a wave of frustration. He blamed himself for being too tired after coming back yesterday and forgetting to set up an alarm system at the door. At this time, the assassin had taken advantage of the loophole.

Listening to the silent employer laughing loudly on the other end of the phone, he threw his phone on the coffee table and began to brew tea slowly.

Shi Yu looked at the killer in front of him and was a little surprised. It was the same person who had exchanged a glance with him at the store to buy a gun. Looking at that cold gaze, Shi Yu began to think of ways to make himself seem more relaxed.

He sat down, picked up the cup in front of the table, poured two glasses of wine, and picked up another glass to drink.

The assassin was not in a hurry. He wiped the gun in his hand and sat down. He looked at Shi Yu mockingly and said, “I can’t help it. We’re just trying to make a living. You’ve offended someone who shouldn’t be offended. Someone offered a million dollars to buy your death. It’s hard for me to refuse.”

Sensing the killer’s contempt, Shi Yu did not take it to heart. He said, “He originally owed me three million. Spending a million to invite you here and save two million. What a good idea.” As he said that, he picked up the poker cards on the table in front of him and played with them.

The poker cards in Shi Yu’s hand kept changing patterns and colors. He drew a circle in his hand and took out a king of spades. With a light shake, it turned into an ace of hearts. Then, he quickly took out three poker cards and threw them on the table. The same three aces of Hearts.

Looking at this trick, the assassin raised his eyebrows, took a sip of his wine, and said, “Do you think this kind of poker card played by a clown can save your life?”

However, Shi Yu said disapprovingly, “I’m not worried. Maybe it won’t be me who dies?”

“I thought it would be a thrilling cat-and-mouse game. You’re so boring.” The assassin held the gun in his hand and took off the safety.

Shi Yu watched the assassin’s movements and suddenly stopped playing poker. A poker card instantly flew out and aimed straight at the assassin’s throat.

However, the assassin’s reaction was swift. He immediately raised the gun and used the rifle in his hand to block the ace of hearts.

The poker card was inserted into the rifle at a right angle. The killer who saw the lethality of the poker card was stunned for a moment. Then, he pulled the trigger on Shi Yu.

However, Shi Yu had already jumped behind the sofa. The bullets poured onto the leather sofa. The wool inside was blown into the air by the bullets.

Shi Yu’s eyes flashed. He aimed a poker card at the electric switch in his house and hit it. The power switch exploded with the sound of electricity, and the lights in the house went out.

The other party had a gun, which was very disadvantageous to him at such a close distance. He could only use his familiarity with the dark environment to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu rolled behind the sofa and hid behind the pillar. His guns were all in the specially made soundproof room, and now he could only use playing cards.

Seeing the lights in the house go out, the killer did not seem to panic at all. He said, “The cat-and-mouse game is starting again.” Then, he began to slowly observe his surroundings and began to adapt to the darkness..
