SUPER SOLDIER KING

Chapter 33: Seven Kills



Ye Qian did not expect to bump into an old acquaintance in China: it was a hitman from the Seven Kills Organization. The only difference between the Seven Kills and the Wolf Fang was that for the Seven Kills, as long as you had the money, they would do anything. Back then, somebody had sent a hitman from the Seven Kills to assassinate Ye Qian; in the end, he went home a cripple. Ye Qian did not finish him off on purpose - he wanted that hitman to send word back to the leader of the Seven Kills Organization, Lin Feng, to come and get him himself and not to send over a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to their deaths.

That was the only time Ye Qian ever had dealings with the Seven Kills. After that he had never encountered any members of the Seven Kills Organization again. Sometimes Ye Qian thought that the Seven Kills Organization had simply disappeared off the face of the earth. That is, until now, when he suddenly saw a Seven Kills Organization member. It was only a brief encounter, but Ye Qian remembered clearly the symbol of the organization. It was the mask - normal people wouldn’t be going around wearing a mask in the middle of the night. Ye Qian could feel the killing intent emanating off of that person. This cold killing aura could only come from one who was a murderer.

The Seven Kills organization weren’t necessarily good but they weren’t bad either. However, from the top to the bottom ranks, all abide scrupulously by a creed of the Seven Kill: “First kill for the traitors of the country, second kill for the corrupt officials, third kill for the betrayer of friends, fourth kill for the vile and crafty men, fifth kill for the bad rich, sixth kill for the unfilial offspring, seventh kill for the rapists.” It was because of this creed that Ye Qian let that assassin from the Seven Kills Organization go. Although the targets of the Seven Kills Organization didn’t always fall into these categories, they never actually killed a good person. As for the Seven Kills Organization targeting him, Ye Qian did not feel like they were in the wrong. Frankly speaking, he really wasn’t a good person.

There were times that Ye Qian wanted to meet the leader of the Seven Kills Organization. It was said that this Lin Feng was a valiant young man; however, he never had such an opportunity to meet him.

When Ye Qian saw that a Seven Kills member was running ahead, Ye Qian followed him. He wasn’t in a hurry but he also wasn’t slow either. Ye Qian maintained a safe distance from him the whole way.

After a while they reached a street corner, and the Seven Kills member stopped. In front of him was a middle-aged man; it was the Tian Ya Conglomerate’s Chairman of the Board, Zhao Tian Hao. It wasn’t that Zhao Tian Hao didn’t want to run, but when he saw the assassin, he knew that he would not be able to get away. Rather than expose his back to the opponent, he decided to confront him head on, at least then there would be a sliver of a chance of survival. Even if there wasn’t, it was better to die this way than to be shot with a bullet to his back in such a shady and dishonorable manner.

“I know that today I won’t be able to get away. I only want to know: who sent you?” Zhao Tian Hao asked. There was no trace of fear in his voice.

The Seven Kills member did not speak and did not make a move. He only remained silent as he stood in place.

“You won’t even grant a person who is about to die his final wish?” Zhao Tian Hao kept talking.

The Seven Kills member was silent for a moment, and then finally opened his mouth to speak, “Your former partner, Luo Ya, isn’t he dead because of you?”

Zhao Tian Hao stared blankly, he looked at the masked man with astonishment, but he could not make anything out from the emotion in his eyes, “You… what is your relationship to Luo Ya?” Zhao Tian Hao asked with shock mixed with curiosity.

“You don’t have to know. You only have to answer me. Was it because of you or not?” The masked man asked.

“Ay…” Zhao Tian Hua sighed wordlessly, then said, “Yes, if it weren’t for me, Luo Ya wouldn’t be dead. The one who should have died was me. Make your move. I won’t resist.”

Ye Qian, who was not far away, heard Zhao Tian Hao’s words and couldn’t help but shake his head and inwardly scold, “Kao! At this time, you can’t even come up with a lie?” Even though he was thinking this way, Ye Qian was admiring the guts of Zhao Tian Hao. Moreover, Ye Qian heard how moved he was when he heard the mask man mention Luo Ya’s name and how he became mournful afterwards. Ye Qian felt that there was something else going on. Ye Qian was deliberating. If that masked man made a move, should he interfere? Ye Qian did not know Zhao Tian Hao, and he did not know what type of person he was, but Ye Qian felt that this type of daring person, even if he were a disciple of evil, was forgivable. Besides, good and evil was not a simple matter to define.

“I am a man, so I will let you die without pain.” As the masked man finished saying this, he pulled out a dagger slowly from his chest, and calmly advanced towards Zhao Tian Hao.

Zhao Tian Hao slowly closed his eyes, he was not the least bit afraid. His face still held a small smile.

With a “peng” sound, Zhao Tian Hao opened his eyes in shock. In front of him was a young man with his back facing towards him. He was wearing a security guard uniform, and it looked a little like that of a Tian Ya Conglomerate security guard’s. The masked man was slowly getting up from the floor, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

Within the split second that the masked man made his move, Ye Qian had finally decided to save Zhao Tian Hao’s life. It was all because of the the small smile on Zhao Tian Hao’s face while he was at death’s door. Ye Qian had quickly rushed forward, one fist fiercely pounded onto the side of the masked man’s head. When the masked man heard the whistle of the fist in the air, he had quickly dodged and turned his body, slashing his dagger towards Ye Qian’s throat. But Ye Qian had extended his left hand and gripped the wrist of the hand holding the dagger. He suddenly leaned his body forward and immediately kicked the masked man three times, then he followed it up with a strong punch into the man’s chest, causing him to fly into the air and collapse to the ground.

Ye Qian saw that the Seven Kills member was not killed, the punch and kick just a moment ago made him temporarily receive a short cardiac arrest.

The masked man slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, calmly looking at Ye Qian.

Ye Qian pulled his collar. Exposing the mark of the wolf head on this chest, he said slowly, “Why don’t you give me face this once. Just forget about this.”

The masked man stared blankly when he saw the wolf head mark. He said: “You must know our laws; I can’t do what you ask. Our targets can’t be allowed to live.”

Ye Qian’s brows furrowed as he answered, “Then let’s make a bet. In three days, no matter the place and time, if you are able to kill him, then I lose. Otherwise, you’ll forget all about this.”
