Life Changing System

Chapter 175 A Happy Ending

Inside a mysterious location in London, England

A middle-aged man with blonde hair and a long scar on his face sat in the room full of computer monitors. Light from the monitors was reflected in his eyes.

His trembling hands slowly put the phone down that had been at his ear. His face suddenly twisted, turning ugly. His mouth twitched.

“Peter, Ashain, and Furres are... dead?”

A hoarse voice full of disbelief sounded from the blonde middle-aged man’s mouth.

Judging from the look on his face and his words, he was definitely none other than the man who had just talked with Bai Chen.

This middle-aged man was named Alberg Reffinger, and was the head of the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association!

“Boss, what did you just say?”

A man asked this confusedly after he heard what Alberg had said. He possessed dark brown hair. His eyes were deep-set. On his face, there were some freckles and he had a sharp nose, as expected of a true English man.

The presence of the brown-haired man proved that Alberg was certainly not alone in the room.

Alberg turned to look at the brown-haired man who was sitting on a chair not too far away from him. His face was serious. “I think Peter, Ashain, and Furres had all been killed!”

“What?!?” the brown-haired man screamed with surprise. He thought that he had misheard.

“Semes, I am telling you that the three men that I sent to work in China are all dead!” Alberg said. His voice was as serious as his face.

“I... Is this true, boss?”

The brown-haired man named Semes was still in disbelief. His face was full of suspicion and confusion, as well as panic.

Alberg turned from Semes and looked at one of the screens in front of him. He started to type fast.

Suddenly, some information popped up on the screen.

“See for yourself.” Alberg sighed with regret at losing two top assassins in one night.

If it had only been Peter, he would not have been regretful at all. Peter was only an intermediate-level assassin. Compared to the top ones, he was still very weak.

The reason why he had said that Ashain and his associate had died before he even searched for information was that he believed what Bai Chen had said.

He believed it even though he had said he did not. He had not believed it at first, but it was impossible for Ashain’s phone to be with Bai Chen if he had not already died.

This was the reason why he told Semes confidently that those three had already been killed before he consulted his database.

The information that he had called up was the signal of the explosive chips implanted in the heads of those three people, even though Ashain and Furres had not activated it like Peter had...

...But their deaths had cut the explosive chips’ signal. They could no longer connect to the database.

Alberg showing the information to Semes was only so he could see with his own eyes that Ashain and his associates were actually dead.

“.....”

Looking at the information in front of him, Semes’s eyes widened with fear. His lips parted, but no sound came out.

He was definitely shocked by what he saw. He could not believe that all of them were actually dead.

“What should we do next, boss? Should we send someone to avenge them and finish the job?”

Semes inhaled deeply to calm himself down before he turned a face that was starting to take on a serious expression to look at his boss.

Alberg did not answer. He looked at his phone and called a specific number that he had on it.

A moment passed. He shook his head at Semes. No one had answered the phone call.

“No, we aren’t going to avenge them. The forty-four million dollars that we received isn’t worth Ashain and Furres’ lives at all!”

“But boss...”

“No buts!” Alberg did not give Semes a chance to object. “I think the employers are also dead because they didn’t pick up the phone when I called. And if we know the employers are dead, finishing the job successfully would be meaningless anyway!”

Hearing what the boss had just said, Semes went quiet. He then sighed with slight dejection that they had suddenly lost their two top assassins.

“Stop caring about it and let it go. Don’t forget that Hell Shadow won’t act if there are no benefits to be had,” Alberg told Semes. He then thought about Bai Chen.

From what he’d heard on the phone, he could guess that Bai Chen was very skillful. He would not have been able to kill Ashain and Furres without good skills. That was one of the reasons why he did not want to send any other assassin after Bai Chen.

He did not want to risk his assassins’ lives in his enemy’s territory. There was nothing to be gained, only lost.

Moreover, he did not even know who Bai Chen was. He thought that it would surely be difficult to search for his information.

‘A dragon cannot claim victory over a local snake, is that so?’

Alberg suddenly thought of this Chinese saying. It was true.

With Alberg making this decision, it all ended happily for Bai Chen.

“Understood.” Semes nodded at Alberg.

He thought that it was just like what Alberg had said. What was the point of finishing the job successfully, if the employers were already dead anyway?

It was pointless to finish the job without having to report back to the employers.

A job without a report of its success to the employers was not truly successful.

“Good.” Alberg nodded at Semes once. He looked at Semes expectantly.

He hoped that Semes would one day become a decisive person, as he was to be the next head of Hell Shadow.

The reason why Alberg had chosen and expected so much from Semes was that he was his wife’s younger brother.

He loved his wife very much, so he did not hesitate to choose Semes as the next head of Hell Shadow, even though it was still a long time before Semes took over the position.

Alberg was still alive and healthy. He would not be dethroned so easily.
