Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 257 Make Money If You Can

Upon hearing Wu Jie's words, the person in the hidden compartment asked, "Are you sure you want to investigate the Assassin's Guild?"

"Of course, aren't you a news station? You can get any kind of news from him, so why can't you get news from the Assassin's Guild on your computer?" Wu Jie asked curiously.

"No, it's just that we have a lot of information, so we're always here for every matter."

"In short, we will remind guests of things to pay attention to, but there's not much else to say."

"In short, since the guests have paid, let's leave their names and any other information they need."

“We’ll send the message over as soon as we receive it,” the person in the hidden compartment said.

"Isn't it possible to get the news today?" Wu Jie asked with some surprise. "I always get the news immediately when I come here before."

At this moment, the person in the hidden compartment said, "The message station is a very secretive organization, and our organization also has its own leader."

"You need to understand that things aren't that simple now, if you want to know the news today."

"Then wait a moment, I need to go and ask, because some things can't be changed just by giving money, you know?"

Hearing what the person in the hidden compartment said, Wu Jie nodded in agreement, since the matter was right there.

If there's really something else going on, then there's nothing more to say; that's just how things are.

But here's the problem: all that needs to be done is this, and there's nothing else to do afterward.

Wu Jie seemed to know that this intelligence station was not simple, which is why he said to the person in the hidden compartment, "Please inform them as soon as possible."

"Can we find out this news today?" Wu Jie asked.

The person in the hidden compartment couldn't discern their expression; they simply said, "Wait a moment, and I'll tell you."

After saying this, the man left the hidden compartment and then turned around to deliver the message to the Assassin's Guild.

When Han Yi saw someone inquiring about the relationship between the Assassin's Guild and the Bai family, he laughed upon hearing the news.

This person clearly didn't know that this intelligence station was actually set up in secret to facilitate the operations of the Assassin's Guild.

It's fair to say that as an assassin, or even the leader of an assassin's guild, there's no place like this where one can get information.

Then the Assassin's Guild wouldn't be in this state today; this is something Han Yi himself had foreseen from the beginning.

That's why I secretly founded this assassin's den; this place was originally used to gather all sorts of information.

But I never expected it to have gotten to this point. What do you think we should do about this?

Han Yi glanced at the message and sneered, saying to the person who sent it, "This matter seems quite interesting."

“Since someone is paying to track down information, go back and tell the people at the intelligence station to come and collect the information tomorrow,” Han Yi said.

"Yes, Master!" The subordinate received the order and immediately returned to the news station.

The person in the hidden compartment had also received Han Yi's orders, and only then did he return to the hidden compartment and say to Wu Jie, "Come and pick up the information you need at noon tomorrow."

“Please!” said the man in the hidden compartment.

Wu Jie knew that the people at the information station meant it was time to see him off, and he had no reason to stay.

Thinking that it would only take a day, which he could afford to wait, he said directly, "Alright, then in that case..."

“Then I will come tomorrow, and that will resolve the matter,” Wu Jie said.

And so, Wu Jie got up and left the news station, going back to prepare to come again the next day.

That evening, Xu Yao came directly to see Han Yi. After seeing Han Yi, Xu Yao asked, "Has anything happened lately?"

Han Yi told Xu Yao that someone was trying to find out about the Bai family and the Assassin's Guild, and also told Xu Yao that the person was named Wu Jie.

Upon hearing that it was Wu Jie who came to gather information, Xu Yaocai laughed: "Not bad, this guy isn't an idiot after all, he even knows to come and gather information."

"But seriously, this guy is just asking for trouble by playing with the bookmaker. Here's what you need to know."

"In short, that's how it is with other things, but here's the problem: since Wu Jie is asking for this information."

“Alright then, you can release this message truthfully,” Xu Yao said.

“After all, Wu Jie paid for it himself, so why not make some money?” Xu Yao said.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Yi finally said directly, "You need to think this through, Xu Yao. This is the crux of the matter."

"We're not talking about what we're going to do, but if you really tell the truth about the relationship between the Assassin's Guild and the Bai family."

"Then there will be even more people chasing you, as we all know now. Xu Yao, you'd better be careful," Han Yi reminded him.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai said directly, "No problem, you can rest assured about this matter. As for the rest..."

'That's not something I should be thinking about, but there's nothing else to say about it; that's just how things are.'

"As for what happens next, there's nothing to say. That's just how things are right now."

"If it's really possible, then we'll figure it out. Anyway, since I've dared to let you release this information, there's no problem with it," Xu Yao said.

Hearing Xu Yao say that, Han Yi nodded and said, "Alright, since you've said so."

"Well, I don't have much to say then. I do believe in your abilities, but I just hope you'll be careful."

"Because if you're not careful, Wu Jie might bring in even more martial arts sects to hunt you down this time," Han Yi said.

"Pavilion Master Han Yi," Xu Yao said with a smile, "Your words are enough. I, Xu Yao, promised you back then."

"The statement 'We must make the Assassin's Guild the number one assassin organization in the world' still holds true today."

"Don't worry, this is the time for the Assassin's Guild to make a name for itself. As for other things, we don't need to waste time on them for now."

"It would be best if all these things were dealt with, anyway, that's just how things are."

"As for other things, there's naturally no need to worry too much about them."
