Chapter 1153: The Power behind Alice
Yang Ming smiled helplessly. Both of them had done things that they should have done. He didn’t expect that Chen Mengyan was still so shy when the past was mentioned.
However, who can forget the instigation and uneasiness in the heart of their first love? The moment of passion that seemed not very passionate now was unforgettable in memory.
Here, it was already late at night. Chen Mengyan also called Lin Zhiyun to help cook while Zhou Jiajia stayed here alone. Zhou Jiajia also felt it was inappropriate, so she got up and went to help after chatting with Yang Ming for a while.
The reason was somewhat dumbfounded. She was afraid that Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun would really misunderstand her and think that she was doing XX with Yang Ming through the video chat. This made Yang Ming sigh a little. Chen Mengyan’s power to rally others were invisibly founded, and it was even better than his.
However, this was also a scene that Yang Ming was more than happy to see. At the very least, it was more harmonious and more worry-free. Only in this way would he have more time to create a better future for them.
Yang Ming had watched a TV series called “The Woman in the House.” The situation inside made Yang Ming tremble with fear. If he encountered the same thing as what the actor in it did, he would really rather die.
Turning off the computer, Yang Ming left the room and went back to the bedroom. Wang Xiaoyan had already slept. Yang Ming didn’t want to bother her, so he lay down carefully beside her.
However, this slight movement still raised Wang Xiaoyan’s alertness. She opened her eyes slightly and looked. She saw that the person beside her was Yang Ming, so she closed her eyes and continued to sleep. However, this time, it was evident that Wang Xiaoyan slept more soundly than before.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile bitterly. One con of being an assassin was that their sleep was too light. A little bit of movement around them could raise vigilance. However, when Wang Xiaoyan slept next to Yang Ming, she slept very comfortably. She also understood that if anything were wrong, Yang Ming would be more aware of it than she in the first place.
For the gamble that he promised Alice, Yang Ming was really inexplicable. Why did I agree with her?
Perhaps, Yang Ming was a little curious about her. This was a woman who made Yang Ming feel uncomfortable. In front of her, Yang Ming always had an uneasy feeling, which made Yang Ming very uncomfortable.
On the one hand, Yang Ming agreed with her request because he wanted to learn more about her.
Early the next morning, Old Buffon’s men sent over the entire set of formalities for Zhou Tianxiang to go back to China, so Zhou Tianxiang was very surprised. Old Buffon’s efficiency was so fast!
For your information, even if the Charles Family stepped in, the procedure couldn’t be done so quickly! Of course, this was the difference between the Buffon Family and the Charles Family!
The Buffon Family’s political connections in Europe were far more powerful than the Charles Family’s. Even many politicians were originally Buffon family members, so whatever Old Buffon wanted to do, it was always done immediately.
Zhou Tianxiang was eager to return home, so he didn’t exchange many conventional greetings with Yang Ming. He only arranged that after Yang Ming had returned home, he must come to the house to be a guest. Yang Ming smiled and agreed.
With Old Buffon’s dedicated car, Zhou Tianxiang reached the airport’s special VIP passage and boarded the plane directly. This also allowed Zhou Tianxiang to see once again how powerful Old Buffon’s Family was.
Today was a complete farewell to this piece of land where he had been working for nearly two decades. Looking back at the hurdles of his life, Zhou Tianxiang was a bit disappointed and frustrated.
However, he did not have the slightest nostalgia, the only memories on this land were sad. He did so much for Old Charles’ family, but what was the return?
If it weren’t for Yang Ming, he was afraid that he would have already died in a foreign land, far from his hometown. This made Zhou Tianxiang understand that dealing with such a family, only the interests would affect their nerves. Otherwise, they were indifferent and ruthless.
Only when Yang Ming put on the attitude of canceling their cooperation did Old Charles show his smile to Zhou Tianxiang. Zhou Tianxiang was not stupid, and he could naturally see it, but he didn’t feel that anything was wrong. On the contrary, his heart was very happy. Old Charles could lower his head in front of him!
When the plane took off slowly, and he was about to reunite with his family… Zhou Tianxiang’s eyes began to become a little moist…
……
“Do you really want to help Alice to gamble?” Wang Xiaoyan was amazed at Yang Ming’s decision. “Do you… know how to gamble?”
Wang Xiaoyan just knew that Yang Ming’s skills were extraordinary, but she did not know that Yang Ming was also very good at gambling.
“I know a little bit…” Yang Ming nodded.
“Do you like her?” Wang Xiaoyan could only guess this. She didn’t understand why Yang Ming was helping Alice. There was no intersection between the two.
“I like her?” Yang Ming shook his head with a smile. “Do you think I have pedophilia?”
“She’s not young; at least, it looks this way…” Wang Xiaoyan shrugged. “At the very least, I think her figure seems to be hotter than mine.”
Yang Ming was somewhat helpless. “Well, I admit that you are telling the facts, but I’m not helping her because I like her. I just want to get in touch with this person.”
“You don’t like her; for what do you want to get in touch with her?” Wang Xiaoyan asked.
“I keep thinking that this person is not simple… I don’t know why, but the feeling she gives me is not good, which makes me very unsettled… I always feel there is something hidden behind this person…” Yang Ming sighed and spoke truthfully.
Wang Xiaoyan also restored her original calmness at this time, keeping away the look of coquetry from before and nodded to Yang Ming. “I also have this feeling… How do I say it? This person makes me very uncomfortable when she speaks. She’s not like a fifteen-year-old girl at all, but sometimes it feels that she is naive… In short, it doesn’t feel very good.”
“Probably we are overthinking it. The children who grew up in Europe mature much earlier.” Yang Ming smiled and said.
Wang Xiaoyan shook her head and said nothing.
“It may be that I am thinking too much. How she is, in fact, has little to do with us. After all, we are only staying here temporarily, and will eventually leave. There is another important thing that I want to discuss with you.” Yang Ming smiled and changed the topic. “I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you fell asleep, so I didn’t say it.”
“What is it?” Wang Xiaoyan asked after listening.
“About the cooperation with the Charles Family… This time when I went to the Charles Family, in addition to helping Uncle Zhou get out of trouble, I also talked with Old Charles about cooperation,” said Yang Ming.
“Oh?” Wang Xiaoyan’s interest was piqued. “How is it? Did he agree?”
“He agreed, … but his cooperation conditions somewhat surprised me…” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Right, there is also good news. Our Black Butterfly Assassin Group has entered the top fifty of the world assassin group ranking…”
“Ah! So fast!” Wang Xiaoyan did not expect that an unpopular assassin group would suddenly become the assassin group within the top fifty in the world rankings. “We seemed to have just picked up one mission only!”
“This kind of mission is considered the highest level of difficulty, so the score is higher after the completion… Didn’t you know that?” Yang Ming was a bit puzzled. Logically, Wang Xiaoyan should know.
“I have never completed a similar mission before… How would I know?” Wang Xiaoyan smiled bitterly and said, “But I have heard that this kind of mission has a high score, but I didn’t expect it to be so high!”

“I didn’t think of it too. I found out from Old Charles!” Yang Ming spread his hands and indicated that he also didn’t know. “According to this development speed, we can rush to the top ten in less than a year!”
“Really!” Wang Xiaoyan was shocked and suddenly showed a happy smile on her face! Her assassin group’s ranking had always been a knot in Wang Xiaoyan’s heart. Although, after being with Yang Ming, Wang Xiaoyan was full of confidence in the future of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, it was not certain whether the assassin group could be strengthened within the time required by her father.
After all, the top tier assassin group was not a vegetarian. Moreover, with the world’s No. 1 King of Assassins firmly occupying the position of first place, it was not easy to become the world’s number one.
But at the moment, what Yang Ming said made her see hope! This kind of super-difficult mission would get a lot of points when you complete one. If you completed a few more, then entering the top ten in the world was not a big problem!
“However, there’s no need to wait for a year now,” Yang Ming said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Wang Xiaoyan asked in surprise.
“Old Charles meant that he wants to hand over the Charles’ assassin group for us to manage, and then only receive bonuses every year.” Yang Ming said, “In this way, if we integrate his business, we can even move one step closer in the short term, surpassing the world’s number one Butterfly Family.”
“Ah!” Wang Xiaoyan was utterly shocked this time! She looked at Yang Ming inexplicably, “Old Charles? Wants to hand over the assassin group to us? Really?”
Indeed, this news was really too shocking. How could the world’s third-ranked assassin group be handed over to a newly established assassin group? Wasn’t that just a joke?
It was no wonder that Wang Xiaoyan didn’t believe it, because it was really too ridiculous!
“I didn’t believe it before, but it is indeed like this.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “You know how Charles is like. He is busy with racing all the time, and he doesn’t care about the family business, so Old Charles is anxious. After all, his age is very old; he can’t last for many more years. He also has the intention of retirement. It just happened that he met me and talked to me about this…”
Yang Ming naturally didn’t talk about his identity as the King of Assassins, so he could only explain it like this.
“Really, it’s such a coincidence…” Wang Xiaoyan sighed, thinking how their luck would be so good, exactly when Old Charles needed help… Of course, she didn’t know that Old Charles gave the assassin group to Yang Ming because he also took into account Yang Ming’s identity, and was able to carry out the final cooperation after confirming with Fang Tian.
“Sometimes, things are so coincidental!” Yang Ming smiled. “This is an opportunity. If you really want to make the Black Butterfly Assassin Group the best in the world, then we have to seize this opportunity. After going back, we have to plan well!”
“En.” Wang Xiaoyan nodded excitedly. “I know. We must not lose this opportunity.”
Although Wang Xiaoyan said this, in fact, Yang Ming’s heart was very clear that this cooperation was almost confirmed because Old Charles was more enthusiastic than himself. Even if the cooperation was not successful, it could only be because they did not agree on this side. There was no problem with Old Charles.
As the two were saying this, there was a knock on the outside of the room. Yang Ming looked out through the door panel and saw it was Old Buffon.
“What is it?” asked Yang Ming.
“Master, Miss Alice is coming. She said she wants to see you,” Old Buffon said respectfully.
“Oh? She came so fast?” Yang Ming was surprised. He didn’t expect her to have arranged things over there so quickly after he just promised her two days ago.
“What do I do now? Do I say that you are not there, or…?” Old Buffon saw that Yang Ming didn’t agree to see or not to see her, but only said that she came so fast, so he asked.
“I’ll go!” Yang Ming said and walked to the door of the room. He opened the door and saw Old Buffon there. “If there is anything in the future, just ask a servant to come. You don’t have to come over personally.”
“How could that be? You are my master!” Old Buffon said stubbornly.
“Okay, do as you please.” Yang Ming saw that Old Buffon was like this, so he didn’t insist on it. After all, Yang Ming could only live here for a few days. He just let Old Buffon do as he pleased.
Going out of the villa with Old Buffon and heading to the main villa, Yang Ming asked, “Right, what is the background of this Alice?”
“Miss Alice… I don’t exactly know her background, but the head of Country L introduced us. She always called me Uncle Feng, a very cute child.” Old Buffon said, “Because of the relationship with the head of state of Country L, many people in the upper class gave her face, but now she has established her own power.”
“She really is only fifteen years old?” Yang Ming was a bit surprised. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the rumors. Alice’s back was really supported by the power of a country! But what was the relationship between her and Country L? This Yang Ming did not know. “Is the head of state of Country L very popular here?”
Country L was a country in Africa, not too far away from Country X. The land was not large. It used to be like Country X and considered a long-term war-torn country. However, the war suddenly ended five years ago, and a small country with a relatively stable political situation was established.
However, how could a head of state of a small African country have such a face in the upper class in Europe? Even though Africa and Europe were relatively close, the identity was there. General Kars probably did not have a single person he knew in Europe, right?
“It is true that Alice is fifteen years old, but this year, she should be sixteen.” Old Buffon said, “As for Country L, I’m not clear about it. However, it is said that five years ago, Country L, which was in war, suddenly got the support of a mysterious force, quickly settled the civil strife, and the behind-the-scenes head of this mysterious force helped the current head of state to come to power… The power of this head of state is not very good, but the behind-the-scenes head is a very powerful person. However, I don’t know about this person because I don’t care much about things in Africa…”
“It turns out to be like this…” Yang Ming listened to Old Buffon’s explanation and was relieved. Isn’t Country L similar to Country X now? Country X is developing because of my support. Probably the original L country was also like this!
“However, if Master is interested in things in Country L, I will try to collect some of this information,” said Old Buffon.
“Well, then I will have to bother you about this.” Yang Ming nodded. He did have some interest in the history of Country L.
“It’s no trouble…” Old Buffon shook his head and laughed. Old Buffon was delighted to be able to do something for Yang Ming. He was afraid that Yang Ming would not trouble him, then he would be somewhat restless.
The two went to the door of the main villa, and Yang Ming stopped the previous topic. “Don’t let Alice know what we talked about before.”
“Do not worry, Master.” Old Buffon nodded and said.
Inside the main villa, he saw Alice sitting on the sofa in the living room and talking to Mrs. Old Buffon. When she saw Yang Ming coming, Alice raised her head. “I thought you would back out and want to hide from me!”
At this moment, Alice was like a spoiled little girl. Her savvy in the business world couldn’t be seen at all. However, a man can’t be judged by his appearance, and his JJ can’t be measured. Yang Ming knew this, so he wasn’t fascinated at all by Alice’s bewildering smile. “I can back out at any time before I get into action, right?”
“You…” Alice didn’t expect Yang Ming to say such a scoundrelly sentence suddenly, so she was a little uncomfortable. Usually, she dealt with the people in the upper class. These people paid more attention to their own image, so they meant every word they said. They would become a fat person if it meant beating their face until it became swollen.
And Yang Ming’s sentence that he would back out at any time made Alice a little uncomfortable.
“What me? I have not received any remuneration, so I naturally have the right to renege!” Yang Ming smiled. “But, for this reward, I will reluctantly make a move!”
“Hmph, say whatever you please now. If you can’t win the game, hehe…” Alice was very irritated, but she could only threaten him.
“Can’t win? What about it? If worst comes to worst, I just won’t get the reward!” Yang Ming said with a smile, “You will never reward me for winning or losing, right?”
Alice clenched her teeth and pulled out three words, “You go die!”
“When is the game?” Yang Ming sat down and went into the main topic.
