    Chapter 283

    After the tournament ended, Su Hao gained both fame and fortune.

    From the competition alone, he earned nearly two billion yuan. Including the prize money from every round—and thanks to Yashan betting everything they owned on Su Hao's victories—money would no longer be a concern for a very long time... unless he deliberately squandered it.

    As for fame, Su Hao himself didn't care much.

    But the name Morning Sun Courtyard had spread throughout the world.

    Many charitable organizations contacted Sister Bai, hoping to cooperate with her in establishing large orphanages. After careful consideration, she expressed her willingness to work together.

    Overall, Su Hao no longer worried much about Sister Bai and the others.

    Their future was already on the right path.

    However...

    Fame also brought danger.

    In the eyes of many people, Bai Jingzhong was merely a ten-year-old champion with no powerful backing.

    That made him an ideal target.

    Furthermore, Tang Haiyi and Han Renjie—both finalists—had died because of him.

    Although no evidence pointed toward Su Hao, everyone knew their families would never simply let the matter rest.

    Everything appeared peaceful on the surface.

    But beneath that calm...

    Someone was undoubtedly investigating him and preparing new assassination plans.

    That was precisely why Su Hao had remained alone in Shengshi City, allowing Sister Bai and the others to leave first.

    Although no one would openly target them...

    If conflict erupted around him, innocent people could still be caught in the crossfire.


    ---

    Su Hao walked leisurely through the streets.

    Completely exposed.

    Without hiding in the slightest.

    He headed toward the villa in the southern district.

    A faint smile appeared on his face.

    "I'm right here."

    "If anyone wants to make a move..."

    "Hurry up."

    "I don't have time to play games with you forever."

    ...

    As soon as Su Hao reached the edge of the city...

    The assassination began.


    ---

    Among the bustling crowd, a smiling passerby casually brushed past him.

    At the instant they crossed paths...

    An electric baton silently slid from the man's sleeve and stabbed toward Su Hao's back.

    Su Hao sidestepped effortlessly.

    He snatched the electric baton from the man's hand...

    Switched it on...

    And pressed it against his waist.

    Crack!

    The assassin's body stiffened.

    He collapsed onto the ground.

    Without changing expression, Su Hao removed a compact pistol fitted with a suppressor from the man's sleeve.

    He checked it.

    Twelve rounds.

    Safety already disengaged.

    He calmly aimed at the unconscious assassin's head.

    Pfft.

    Then he pocketed the pistol and continued walking as though nothing had happened.


    ---

    After turning into another street...

    A middle-aged woman carrying a basket of vegetables walked toward him, loudly cursing someone.

    Hidden beneath the vegetables...

    A black gun barrel slowly emerged.

    Pfft! Pfft!

    She fired twice.

    Su Hao had already moved aside before she pulled the trigger.

    Both shots missed.

    He continued walking forward.

    The woman fired again.

    Another miss.

    When the distance between them narrowed to less than five steps...

    Su Hao casually raised the pistol.

    Pfft.

    A bloody hole appeared between the woman's eyebrows.

    She collapsed.

    Fresh vegetables scattered across the road.

    Su Hao couldn't help thinking,

    "So this is what a real gunfight feels like..."

    "Quite exciting."


    ---

    Leaving the busiest part of the city...

    The number of pedestrians gradually decreased.

    Using Little Light's filtering function, Su Hao marked every suspicious person following him.

    Thirty-five people.

    Among them...

    Four repeatedly occupied high vantage points, constantly observing him from afar.

    Those...

    Were undoubtedly the snipers.

    Also the greatest threat.

    After confirming their positions...

    Su Hao deliberately chose routes that blocked their line of sight, preventing them from getting a clean shot.

    Suddenly...

    He lifted one foot.

    Earth Spike!

    The ground trembled almost imperceptibly before returning to normal.

    Deep underground...

    Two burrowing summoned beasts had already been pierced through by countless stone spikes.

    Their bodies became riddled with holes.

    Moments later...

    Both died silently beneath the earth.


    ---

    Eventually, Su Hao entered an unavoidable open area.

    He immediately accelerated.

    Racing toward the outskirts.

    The snipers finally lost patience.

    Gunfire erupted.

    The bullets traveled faster than sound.

    Almost the instant the rifles fired...

    Rounds struck the ground beside Su Hao.

    Not one bullet hit him.

    It wasn't poor aim.

    Su Hao's movements were simply too irregular.

    While he sprinted...

    The dozens of people following him also sped up, refusing to lose sight of him.

    To them...

    Assassinating the World Champion Summoner inside the city was already risky enough.

    If they failed before he reached the outskirts...

    The mission would have to be abandoned.

    Because once a summoner successfully deployed summoned beasts...

    Their chances of success would become virtually zero.


    ---

    Without warning...

    Su Hao rounded a corner.

    Escaping everyone's line of sight.

    Then he immediately sank underground.

    Disappearing.

    His sprint through the city had already served its purpose.

    He had successfully confirmed every person tailing him.

    Not thirty-five...

    Forty-two in total.

    A cold smile appeared on his face.

    "Now..."

    "My turn begins."


    ---

    Transformation Steel carried him swiftly beneath the earth.

    He silently arrived behind one assassin.

    Without exposing himself...

    A hand slowly emerged from beneath the ground.

    A pistol pointed directly at the back of the assassin's head.

    Bang!

    The man's skull exploded.

    His body twitched once before collapsing.

    Another assassin heard the gunshot.

    He instinctively turned around.

    Seeing his companion lying in a growing pool of blood...

    His entire body went cold.

    He immediately ducked behind cover, frantically scanning his surroundings.

    But no matter how hard he searched...

    He couldn't find the enemy.

    Fear quickly consumed him.

    A moment later...

    A hand suddenly emerged from the ground in front of him.

    Holding another pistol.

    The dark muzzle pointed directly between his eyes.

    "What the..."

    The thought had only just appeared.

    Bang!

    Darkness swallowed him forever.


    ---

    Su Hao calmly holstered the pistol.

    Then disappeared underground once more.

    "Compared to ordinary silent assassinations..."

    "My Underground Assassination Technique is much more efficient."


    ---

    One after another...

    The assassins quietly died.

    Their companions never even saw the killer.

    When fewer than a dozen remained...

    Panic finally spread through the communication channel.

    "Abort the mission!"

    "Retreat immediately!"

    A hoarse voice shouted through their earpieces.

    Unfortunately...

    Once targeted by Su Hao...

    Escape was impossible.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Whenever one pistol ran out of ammunition...

    Su Hao simply picked up another from a corpse.


    ---

    The final assassin was a woman.

    Her face was filled with terror.

    She dashed desperately through the buildings.

    She feared death just as much as anyone else.

    The calm indifference she usually displayed came from confidence in her own abilities.

    Now...

    Facing an invisible enemy...

    That confidence had completely shattered.

    She felt as though a gun was constantly pressed against the back of her head.

    Death could arrive at any second.

    While fleeing...

    She suddenly saw a young boy smiling at her from around a corner.

    "The target!"

    She instinctively raised her pistol.

    Before she could fire...

    The boy vanished behind the wall.

    She immediately chased after him.

    The mission still came first.

    But the instant she reached the corner...

    She froze.

    The boy had disappeared.

    Only then did she realize.

    The mysterious enemy who had slaughtered their entire team...

    Was Bai Jingzhong himself.

    A chill spread across her forehead.

    An overwhelming sense of despair flooded her heart.

    "It's over..."

    Almost as though answering her thoughts...

    Su Hao silently appeared behind her.

    He raised the pistol.

    Placed it against the back of her head.

    Bang.

    The suppressed gunshot echoed softly.

    The woman's body fell forward without another sound.

    Su Hao casually tossed the pistol aside.

    Then crushed it beneath his foot.

    After a moment of silence, he quietly said,

    "What a pity."

    "Someone as beautiful as you became an assassin."

    "If there's another life..."

    "I hope you get to live an ordinary one."

    Whether she had ever truly been allowed to choose her own path...

    Was another matter entirely.

    ...

    Bang!

    Inside the Tang Family estate...

    An elderly man violently smashed his porcelain teacup onto the floor.

    Fragments scattered everywhere.

    Breathing heavily, he finally suppressed his rage.

    Then he pointed at the obese middle-aged man kneeling before him and shouted,

    "You useless fool!"

    "What exactly have you done?"

    "Are you trying to drag the entire Tang Family into the grave with you?"

    "Answer me!"

    Cough! Cough!

    The fat middle-aged man kept his head lowered in silence.

    The old man trembled with anger.

    He staggered forward and kicked him.

    Instead, he nearly lost his own balance.

    A nearby maid hurriedly supported him.

    Only then did the old man realize...

    He truly had become old.

    He slowly sat back down.

    After taking several deep breaths...

    He said coldly,

    "The family's legacy has become worthless in the hands of people like you."

    "Notify everyone."

    "Family meeting."

    "Two o'clock this afternoon."

    "Anyone currently in Shengshi City who fails to attend..."

    "Will be stripped of all authority..."

    "And sent into retirement."

    Only then did the fat middle-aged man slowly raise his head.

    His face was deathly pale.

    His eyes...

    Were filled with fear.

    After this competition event, Su Hao gained both fame and fortune.

    Purely in terms of the competition, when all was said and done, Su Hao earned nearly two billion yuan. If you add the money he won from each round, thanks to Yashan going all-in on Su Hao’s victories, it’s safe to say Su Hao won’t be short of money for a long time, unless he does something reckless.

    As for reputation, Su Hao personally didn’t care much, but the reputation of ‘Morning Sun Courtyard’ had spread far and wide. Many organizations contacted Sister Bai, seeking her cooperation to jointly establish a large-scale orphanage. Sister Bai also expressed preliminary cooperation intentions.

    Right off the bat, wtf, there is no way in hell this alone wasn't proof read, where the heck did this quality come from?!

    Upon reaching an open area inevitably, Su Hao accelerates, heading towards the outskirts of the city.

    ;-; Bro how do you proof read half a page. They would've had to have read the first half, seen how desperately it needed tweaks, and decided, "Eh, I'll just fix up a little bit and leave the rest as is"
