259 Assassin Organization
After being taught a lesson by the old man and realizing that they had been exposed for following Kong Rui, the two men left in a hurry before the waiter could chase them away.
Kong Rui wanted to chase after them and ask, but the old man stopped her. “Stop chasing! They’re just people who get paid to do things!”
“Do you know them?” Kong Rui asked curiously. She felt that this old man seemed to know something.
The old man jumped down from the table with a smile and said to Kong Rui, “Can you treat me to a cup of warm tea?”
Kong Rui was stunned and immediately said, “Of course! I was too negligent. This way, please!”
After Kong Rui led the old man to her table, the waiter didn’t dare to be careless anymore. He immediately went forward and prepared tea for the two of them again. He even specifically brought a basin of hot water to wipe the old man’s hands and face.
The old man nodded in satisfaction. Then, he stepped onto the stool and started eating the refreshments.
The waiter looked anxious, but he knew that he didn’t have the ability to stop him. He could only sigh and turn to leave.
Kong Rui wasn’t in a hurry to ask when she saw the old man eating and drinking.
After a while, the old man took a sip of tea and burped before glancing at Kong Rui as he said, “You’re not bad!”
Kong Rui smiled and asked, “Do you know me?”
The old man revealed an unfathomable smile. “I just wanted to see what expert my stupid disciple lost to.”
“I didn’t expect my disciple, who has been learning from me for decades, to be defeated by a little brat like you.”
Kong Rui wasn’t satisfied with the old man’s way of addressing her. “Since you said that your disciple lost to me, it means your disciple is inferior to even a little brat!”
Kong Rui deliberately emphasized the words “little brat”, making the old man laugh.
“You little girl! Why are you still fussing over these useless things?” The old man stroked his messy beard as he continued, “I traveled all over the world and happened to arrive at the imperial capital. I heard that my stupid disciple actually admitted defeat for the first time, so I planned to come and see what kind of powerful person the victor is.”
“I happened to bump into those two ignorant people following you on the way, so I followed you all the way here.”
“You know those two people, right? From your tone, you seem to know their identities.” Kong Rui confirmed again.
The old man despised the two of them, and they didn’t resist the old man at all just now. This proved that they had met each other before.
“They’re just two lowly thieves!” The old man waved his hand and said, “Have you heard of an organization called ‘Xing’?”
Kong Rui frowned and recalled carefully before saying, “Is it that famous assassin organization?”
“Pfft! Famous? They exchange human lives for money!” The old man spat indifferently.
Kong Rui knew that the old man probably despised this organization, so she didn’t say anything else.
The old man continued, “Those two are the two deputy elders of that organization.”
“The last time they were on a mission, they happened to bump into me. I spared their lives, but I didn’t expect them to still be working!” The old man became angrier and angrier as he spoke, as if he expected better from them.
Kong Rui pursed her lips. People like them would probably never be able to leave that profession.
After all, they had killed too many people. Even if they retired, they wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of their enemies finding them. The final outcome would be the same.
It was said that the structure of such an assassin organization was very stringent. If anyone wanted to leave the organization, they might have to be skinned alive by the organization first!
Kong Rui didn’t know much about their internal structure and had only read some information about them.
However, the old man looked like he wanted to enlighten them and make them human again. Kong Rui felt a little helpless.
However, she didn’t intend to persuade the old man. After all, she had no right to interfere with other people’s plans.
The most important thing now was who had hired an assassin organization to stalk her?
These people didn’t kill her in secret. Instead, they followed her in broad daylight. This was a little creepy!
Seeing that Kong Rui seemed to have something on her mind, the old man said, “Let’s not talk about them. Let’s talk about you!”
“What do you want to know?” Kong Rui smiled, but her eyes were filled with resistance.
Seeing Kong Rui’s resistant expression, the old man couldn’t help but feel amused.
