Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Are you moved or not? (1st Update)
Speaking, he closed his eyes, preparing to await death.
But after waiting for a long while, nothing happened. Puzzled, he opened his eyes.
He saw An Yan holding a frying pan with a somewhat amused expression, “Who said I was going to kill you?”
“Huh?” The assassin thought he must have heard wrong.
At this moment, Xue An stood up from the couch and said indifferently, “Alright Yan’er, stop playing around!”
An Yan let out a bored sigh, “So boring, just when I was getting into it, you gave up!”
With that, An Yan left on her own accord.
Xue An walked up to the assassin, showing a set of white teeth, smiling very prettily.
“You see, you clearly came to kill us, but my wife is very magnanimous and isn’t planning to hold a grudge with you! How does it feel, touched or not?”
“I… I dare not move…” the assassin said with a chill in his voice.
He could feel the piercing murderous aura emanating from Xue An.
“Hmm?” Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Ah… I’m touched, very touched!” The assassin nodded repeatedly.
“Now that’s being good!” Xue An said with a slight smile.
“I heard… Bounty Hunters like you are pretty wealthy?”
“What?” The man hadn’t quite caught on yet.
“My patience is limited, so don’t play dumb with me, understand?” Xue An said coolly.
“Understand, understand!” The man nodded vigorously, then said with a wry smile.
“Sir, all of my savings are in a Swiss bank, I really don’t carry cash on me…”
Xue An smiled joyfully, “That’s easy to handle; I’m a person who is quite willing to trust others, you know!”
Saying this, Xue An took out a piece of paper and tossed it to the assassin.
“That’s my bank account on there. After you go back, transfer all the money into it, got it?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Alright, you can go now!” Xue An said indifferently.
“What?” The man was stunned again.
“What’s the matter? You don’t want to leave?”
“Want to, want to, I’ll leave right now!” Saying this, he scrambled up from the ground, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
As soon as he left this place, only a fool would transfer the money!
Just when he was about to leave happily,
Xue An’s voice came from behind him.
“Don’t think about playing any tricks, you know. I’ve placed a Curse Mark in your soul. If you don’t transfer the money obediently, what might happen, well, I really wouldn’t know!”
The assassin, whose face had been full of glee, stiffened, then said with a bitter expression, “Yes, yes, yes! Of course not, the first thing I’ll do when I get back is to hurry up and transfer the money!”
Xue An waved his hand dismissively, “Scram!”
The assassin left as if his soul had been crushed.
At this time, An Yan came over, a bit amused, “Husband, is it really alright for us to do this?”
“Why wouldn’t it be?” Xue An said lightly.
“They came here intending to kill us. It’s already merciful of me not to make them completely soulless! Now I’m just having them pay to save their own lives, isn’t that more than fair?”
“Husband, did you really place a Curse Mark in their souls?” An Yan asked curiously.
Xue An grinned slyly, “Do I have that kind of free time? Such mundane riches aren’t worth the trouble of placing Curse Marks on everyone one by one!”
“Then what if they don’t transfer the money?” An Yan asked, a bit confused.
Xue An affectionately tousled her hair, “You can be so adorably silly sometimes. I might not have placed a Curse Mark, but I did leave a little Nightmare Spell on each person.”
“If they really dare not to transfer the money, the Nightmare Spell will haunt them, and they won’t die but will definitely be flayed!” Xue An said indifferently.
Indeed, things turned out just as Xue An had predicted.
After these assassins returned, they hoped against hope to slip through undetected.
But soon, they became unable to sleep at night, and eventually, even closing their eyes would trigger horrendous nightmares.
Some of the mentally fragile ones quickly broke down.
The rest hastened to transfer the money obediently.
In just a day or two, Xue An’s account swelled by more than a hundred million, and it was all in US dollars!
It even made Xue An start looking forward to the arrival of assassins.
But there are no fools in this world.
After a few days of harsh lessons, these bounty hunters comprehended a truth deeply.
Even if you provoke the devils of hell, never mess with the Xue An family.
First off, there’s that woman wielding a skillet.
She will show you what it means to have no escape, neither to heaven nor to earth.
Many bounty hunters who prided themselves on their agility initially did not take An Yan seriously.
After all, An Yan was only in the Xiaoyao Realm now, not too strong.
But once the fight started, these assassins went crazy.
That skillet, in this woman’s hands, came to life! It was unpredictable and unstoppable.
And what made people despair the most was that, no matter how good your moves were, as soon as you stopped, the woman would just have to toss the skillet, and like it had a tracker, it would fly right at you.
However, compared to An Yan’s skillet, what truly terrified these bounty hunters… was Xue An’s smile.
He might not kill you, might even chat leisurely with a smile, and if you were injured, he would even offer bandages.
But beneath that gentle and refined smile, lied a heart calculating enough to take your last penny.
This was the collective sigh of those now penniless bounty hunters.
As a result, when the news spread, many once-fierce bounty hunters fled outright.
The once-bustling Shen Family villa finally quieted down.
Xue An could only look up to the sky and sigh, when would there be another opportunity to make money just by lying down?
The Oscars were approaching.
Hollywood was gradually bustling too.
Aboard a luxurious RV, a handsome blond man said with a grin, “Dear Edward, I heard about your last trip to Country R to pursue that actress, but you got a snub, didn’t you?”
The mention of Country R turned Edward’s face pale.
“Don’t bring that up again! William, why did you invite me to Hollywood?”
Williams’ face was full of disbelief, “My God, what on earth happened to you in Country R? Why have you changed so much? Have you forgotten that the Oscars are almost upon us?”
“So what about the Oscars?”
Williams shook his head helplessly, “Dear friend, I’d rather believe you’re doing this on purpose! It’s the Oscars! There will be actresses from all over the world coming! Aren’t you looking forward to that?”
Edward gave a bitter smile but didn’t speak.
Seeing his reaction, Williams patted his shoulder, “Come on, I’ve heard a bit about what happened in Country R, but that’s all in the past, isn’t it?
“And this isn’t Country R. We stand on the land of the most powerful country in the world! We have invincible warships and cannons, are we really going to be afraid of a martial artist?” Williams said contemptuously.
Edward remained silent. He understood that, in the eyes of people like Williams,
Cannons represent justice, and aircraft carriers are invincible!
But could that man be so simple?
Edward’s mind replayed that rainy night in Tokyo, the silhouette of Xue An breaking all laws with a single sword strike!
That was the nightmare of his lifetime!
