Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng hadn't returned to Worry-Free City for over a year, but it seemed that Worry-Free City hadn't changed much. Apart from a few more restaurants on the street, it looked almost the same as before.

However, carts and wagons frequently left the city, loaded with large and small bags of goods, obviously belonging to merchants of all sizes. But when Wang Sheng smelled the familiar spice aroma, he knew it must be the City Lord's Thirteen Fragrance business.

All of this was irrelevant to Wang Sheng now. He had come up with the ideas and creativity, and had already received his satisfactory reward. He didn't care how others managed the business afterward.

For over a year and a half, Wang Sheng had been out of touch. No matter how curious or concerned people were about him, their patience had long been exhausted. No one would constantly pay attention to a missing person. Therefore, when Wang Sheng swaggered through the city in his true form, he didn't cause the slightest surprise.

It wasn't until Wang Sheng entered the Assassin Hall and headed straight for Sister Rose's corner that someone glanced at him casually. Then, they suddenly recognized Wang Sheng, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"Lone Wolf!" A shout startled the entire Assassin Hall, and all eyes focused on the person walking towards the corner. Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

Wang Sheng didn't care what expressions people were giving him. He sat down with a smile in front of Sister Rose, who also looked incredibly surprised, and greeted her with a smile: "Long time no see, Sister Rose!"

"Long time no see!" Sister Rose was clearly very surprised, even her tone was different, appearing both surprised and delighted: "You're back?"

At this moment, the smile on Sister Rose's face was genuinely happy. Wang Sheng could see that, with his sharp eyes, he could distinguish whether someone was truly ecstatic or just faking a smile. In this regard, Sister Rose seemed genuinely happy for his return.

Sister Rose was one of the first people Wang Sheng met in Worry-Free City who could be considered a friend. However, Wang Sheng now knew that Sister Rose and the young man who wanted to scheme against him were actually from the same organization, and that young man had some dirty thoughts about Sister Rose.

"By the way, I met a guy outside," Wang Sheng said directly, not beating around the bush with Sister Rose. "That guy was very arrogant and said he wanted to deal with you, very insidious."

"You have to be careful of him." Upon hearing this, Sister Rose's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly reminded Wang Sheng: "That little bastard relies on his status and has many experts under him. Don't fight him head-on. If he comes after you, just dive into the Perpetual Killing Ground, he won't be able to do anything to you."

Speaking of this, Sister Rose blushed slightly and explained to Wang Sheng: "Last time, he insisted on using orders from above to have me mention the mask to you, and I couldn't refuse. But don't worry, I've already told them that I will never bother you again."

"You should stay in Worry-Free City for a while!" Sister Rose saw that Wang Sheng didn't seem angry, and felt a little relieved. Then, she hurriedly warned Wang Sheng: "As long as you stay in Worry-Free City, that guy won't dare to touch you. A few months ago, the City Lord changed the rules, and now no one can touch you in Worry-Free City."

"Changed the rules?" Wang Sheng was stunned and asked, "What kind of changes?"

"Killing someone in Worry-Free City requires paying a fine of twice the amount of the bounty posted by the target within Worry-Free City." Sister Rose breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Sheng didn't seem to be settling accounts with her, so she quickly explained to Wang Sheng: "You have a bounty of one million gold coins hanging in Worry-Free City, and the gold coins are kept in the Assassin Hall. Anyone who wants to touch you has to pay a fine of two million gold coins afterward to be safe and sound. Not many people can come up with that amount."

Hearing about the rule change, Wang Sheng secretly praised it as a good way to make money! In the past, the worst fine for taking action in Worry-Free City was one thousand gold coins. Now, it was even more outrageous, allowing the city residents to post their own bounties. Anyway, the higher the amount posted, the more gold coins paid to the Assassin Hall, and the safer their lives became. And the Assassin Hall received even more gold coins.

Worry-Free City was becoming richer and safer, but this safety was built on the foundation of more gold coins. The assassins in Worry-Free City could only work harder to earn money. What a great virtuous cycle! And without anyone forcing them, they had to work desperately hard for their own lives. The rules of Worry-Free City were simply genius!

Wang Sheng certainly didn't mind being safer in Worry-Free City. If the rule change was beneficial to him, then Wang Sheng would definitely support it wholeheartedly.

"Okay!" Wang Sheng smiled at Sister Rose: "In view of the good news, I'll also tell you some good news."

"What good news?" Sister Rose asked, delighted.

"The arrogant guy you mentioned will never have a chance to bother you again." As Wang Sheng spoke, he poured out the assassin tokens he had obtained from the black-clothed people in the mountain village.

Fifty-two white assassin tokens, three cyan assassin tokens, Wang Sheng just poured them all out in front of Sister Rose with a clatter.

"One of them is that guy's." Wang Sheng pointed to the three cyan assassin tokens and smiled at Sister Rose.

Sister Rose was completely stunned. She trembled slightly, then reached out and picked up the three assassin tokens, examined them carefully, and recognized who they belonged to.

Wang Sheng was right. If that guy's assassin token was in Wang Sheng's hands, Wang Sheng and Sister Rose really didn't have to worry about that guy anymore.

But while Wang Sheng was describing it so casually, Sister Rose almost screamed in her heart: "How is that possible?"

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Apart from that young man, the other two cyan assassin tokens belonged to experts at the sixth level of cultivation! And since the people from the five major families chased Wang Sheng into the Perpetual Killing Ground and were completely wiped out, no one would dare to follow Wang Sheng into the Perpetual Killing Ground.

In other words, Wang Sheng did this outside the Perpetual Killing Ground. He actually killed two sixth-level experts and more than fifty third-level experts, and these guys always acted collectively. Heavens! What is Wang Sheng's cultivation level now?

"Help me credit these tokens to my account." Wang Sheng didn't care how shocked Sister Rose was, and said calmly: "It should allow me to exchange for a cyan token. Also, help me spread a message."

"What message?" Sister Rose gathered the tokens together and asked.

"I'm a little short on money recently and want to earn some living expenses." Wang Sheng didn't care about anything else and said to himself: "In a month, I can take ten people in and out of the Perpetual Killing Ground. Spread the word and see if anyone is interested?"

Boom, Sister Rose hadn't even replied yet, and the Assassin Hall had already exploded.
