Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

[After verification, you now possess 814 points of combat core energy.]

Zhou Qiqi glanced at the system notification, then nodded to the two young men carrying her food, indicating that they could communicate here.

The surroundings were relatively quiet; this was a corner a little away from the black market factory.

The lively man who identified himself as Han Ze'an said, "Boss, what kind of business are you planning to introduce to us? To be honest, as long as the price is right, we'll take any order!"

They are short of money.

Zhou Qiqi stared at A Bing, sizing him up: "What rank are you?"

Before A-Bing could even speak, Han Ze'an immediately patted his chest and answered, "My brother A-Bing is a mid-level warrior! He's incredibly powerful!"

Zhou Qiqi asked Han Ze'an, "And what about you?"

Han Ze'an quickly replied, "I'm currently at a low rank, but my combat core is 181 points, making me close to the gold rank at silver! Boss, I've worked with quite a few mercenary teams! I'm familiar with many of their operations!"

Zhou Qiqi nodded.

She looked them in the eye and said, "We've received information that the Galaxy Assassin Group is going to rob the auction here tonight. You two keep the unrelated people away, and then Ah Bing will kill two or three people whose strength is below the mid-level for me. Someone will take responsibility for the kills later."

Zhou Qiqi mentally calculated the price.

Finally, he added, "For this order, I'll give you 6 mid-tier beast beads."

As she spoke, she took out the beast bead from her pocket.

Six mid-level beast beads are equivalent to 1.8 million, which is a considerable sum in the market.

Han Ze'an's eyes widened, and his lips twitched.

"You...you want us to kill people?"

Ah Bing's eyelids drooped: "She hired me."

Han Ze'an glanced at A Bing, then grabbed his shoulder and pulled him aside, saying, "This deal is going to be difficult for us!"

Ah Bing's steps were frighteningly steady, making it impossible for Han Ze'an to lure him away.

He said to Han Ze'an indifferently, "The person she wants to kill must be a bad guy. Didn't you hear what she said? The Galaxy Assassin Group is going to rob the auction tonight."

Han Ze'an turned to look at Zhou Qiqi, swallowing nervously.

Those who are involved in organized crime know many mercenaries who are short of money, and they secretly take on jobs such as debt collection, beatings, and robberies.

Feuds and bloodshed in the martial arts world are perfectly normal.

Therefore, when Han Ze'an heard the stranger mention murder, he did not run away in fear.

"But... that's the Galaxy Assassin Group! Ah Bing, you don't know how ruthless that organization is! If we mess with people from there, what will happen to the Ai Liang Welfare Home behind us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiqi immediately began to speculate about their identities.

She thought for a moment and then said, "The people I want Ah Bing to kill aren't from the Galaxy Assassin Group, but two traitors and a foreigner. They're colluding with that assassin group. Although I don't have any evidence on the surface, if you come with me to kill them, you'll see their treasonous behavior."

The person they wanted to kill wasn't very strong, and wasn't even a member of an assassin group.

Ah Bing's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Zhou Qiqi while wearing a mask.

He bargained: "I want to increase the fee; it has to be at least a finished sheet music at the gold level."

Zhou Qiqi frowned and said, "This price is a bit high."

Ah Bing lowered his eyes, took a few steps closer to Zhou Qiqi, and said, "I can help you kill a few more people."

Brother, let's talk this out. Don't come over and stare at me like that.

Although Ah Bing was not as tall as Xiao Xinghe and Qin Ye, he was still taller than Zhou Qiqi.

Even though Zhou Qiqi has grown taller and become a man, A Bing is still half a head taller than her. Coupled with his lifeless eyes staring at her coldly, Zhou Qiqi couldn't help but shiver.

Han Ze'an pulled hard on A Bing, but A Bing had already blurted out the words, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't take them back.

Most importantly, they are indeed very short of money.

The welfare home run by Cheng's mother is now in debt due to her husband's death from illness and other reasons, and the more than 20 children she takes in are almost starving.

Zhou Qiqi glanced at the time and decided not to delay any longer.

So she said to Ah Bing, "Okay, it's a deal. But I don't have the sheet music right now, I'll give it to you after it's done. Do you agree to that?"

Ah Bing's eyes were indifferent yet confident: "No problem."

Zhou Qiqi gave a thumbs up: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Having recruited an assassin, Zhou Qiqi felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

Dare to plot against her?

When it comes to murder, it's always best to leave it to professionals.

Get rid of them!

Do whatever you want!

Zhou Qiqi didn't even need to think about it carefully; if she were to be abducted abroad as they planned, her fate would definitely be tragic.

She is a woman.

She is a singer in the Red Rank.

Even if she can't produce any good sheet music for those people, she still has her basic uses as a woman. Besides, all her organs are healthy and full of vitality.

These people have already put her in danger; they are wicked villains.

In addition to their crimes of murder, treason, and collusion with the enemy, these villains will only bring harm to countless innocent people in the future.

If she doesn't mess with them, Zhou Qiqi won't even need attention to prolong her life; she might as well just find a block of tofu and smash her head against it and die.

Han Ze'an looked at the six beast beads in his hand, his heart heavy.

Several children at the Ai Liang Welfare Home are at the age where they are growing rapidly and they eat a lot, but they can't keep up with their energy expenditure.

The children work hard to earn money in their spare time, and with the help of kind-hearted people and the contributions of the children who have become independent members of society after leaving the orphanage, they are barely able to keep up with their living allowance.

The problem lies in Cheng's mother's debts, which have almost caused the welfare home's accreditation to change from public to private. Now they either have to give the child away elsewhere or pay off the debts themselves.

However, the child quotas in other institutions and units in the city are full, and Cheng's mother is very reluctant to send her child to another place. She heard that some units in other places "sell" young children to some unscrupulous factories to work, reducing the number of people to feed while also collecting "adoption" revenue.

That's still considered relatively good; the real fear is sending the child to a laboratory that's rumored to be off-limits in the neighborhood...

Han Ze'an gritted his teeth and accepted the six beast beads in his hand.

He said to Ah Bing, "Ah Bing, you must be careful. Do you need a weapon?"

Ah Bing shook his head and pulled an ordinary dagger from his waist: "This is enough."

Seeing that they had agreed, Zhou Qiqi instructed Han Ze'an: "It will be a bit chaotic when the fighting starts later. Try to lure away the ordinary people who are near the auction."

Han Ze'an nodded: "I know that, boss, don't worry. By the way, may I ask your name, boss?"

Zhou Qiqi said calmly, "You can call me Brother Qi. I'll take care of you guys if I get any good orders in the future. We're all just trying to make a living, and I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Han Ze'an revealed a slight, sunny smile.

He could tell that this Seventh Brother was a decent person, otherwise he wouldn't have been so generous in buying the food that Grandma Jiang made.

We're eating congee and salted duck eggs now, and it's late at night...

A kind-hearted person who is willing to spend money to help can't be all that bad.

(Thank you for the generous donations, but I apologize for being away these past few days. I'll make up for it next week when I return. For now, it's two chapters a day, and I'll add more chapters next Monday based on the amount of donations received. Love you all.)
