Chapter 614: Heaven, Earth, and Man Rankings
"Okay, we understand," Daniel nodded. Lin Kuang’s request was already quite lenient, which pleased both Daniel and Klaus. Of course, even if his conditions had been harsher, they would have followed through. After all, they had already given their word and made a prior agreement.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that. We’ll get in touch if anything comes up," Lin Kuang said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two men smiled and nodded. "Okay."
"Oh, right. There’s something I need to remind you about," Klaus said just then, his expression turning serious.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang was slightly startled and quickly asked, "What is it?"
"Do you know how many rankings there are in the Assassin World?" Klaus asked earnestly, looking at Lin Kuang. Although Lin Kuang’s title, the King of the Underworld, was famous in Europe, he wasn’t part of the Assassin World, so there were things about it he likely wouldn’t know.
"Rankings in the Assassin World? Isn’t there just one?" Lin Kuang asked curiously.
"No. Daniel and I are just assassins from the lowest tier, the Human List.
"Above the Human List is the Earth List, and it’s said there’s even a Heaven List above that. However, that’s beyond my reach, so I’m not very clear on the details.
"But the Earth List is real. Every single person on it is stronger than Daniel and me, which is why we haven’t qualified for it yet.
"Of course, that’s not the critical point. The key is that when the top assassin from the Human List fails to eliminate a target, an assassin from the Earth List will take over. This means that if we two fail, people from the Earth List will appear, and they will target you.
"You must be careful, because the experts on the Earth List are extremely powerful. Even the weakest among them might have power comparable to yours right now. Of course, this is just my speculation, but I don’t think I’m too far off," Klaus cautioned with a solemn gaze.
The Assassin World has rankings like this?! If Klaus hadn’t told me, I would have had no idea. And if the weakest person on the Earth List is already this terrifying, how powerful must the number one assassin on that list be? And what about the legendary Heaven List? What kind of strength do those people possess? The thought alone is horrifying!
"Okay, thanks for the heads-up. I’ll remember to be careful," Lin Kuang said earnestly.
"Good, just stay vigilant. That’s all for now. We’ll head back and contact you if anything comes up," Klaus said.
Lin Kuang nodded, and the three of them left together.
Lin Kuang returned to the villa, while Klaus and Daniel left East Sea to head back to Europe.
He returned to the villa before eleven at night. The entire round trip, fight included, had taken less than an hour, so he hadn’t been gone long.
In the living room, all the women were waiting for him, each of them worried about his safety. When they saw him walk into the villa, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally back.
Just then, Lin Kuang pushed open the door and stepped inside. Seeing the women sitting on the sofa, he couldn’t help but chuckle. "My beautiful wives, I’m back!"
Hearing his words, the women all rolled their eyes at him.
"Like we couldn’t tell you were back? You’re a grown man standing right here; are we blind? Honestly," Lin Guo’er remarked, rolling her eyes before turning to go upstairs.
"Hmm, Guo’er has a point," the little Witch nodded repeatedly in admiration, then turned with a sway of her sexy hips and headed upstairs.
"I also think Guo’er is right," Yang Ruoxi said with a grin before turning to go upstairs as well.
Yang Ruotong and Mu Wan also nodded in agreement and followed them, leaving only Lin Kuang and Liu Shilin in the large living room.
"Damn it, do you all have to be like this? That’s just shameless!" Lin Kuang couldn’t help but shout. "Hmph, my dear Shilin is the best. The others are just mean," he grumbled, immediately sliding onto the couch beside Liu Shilin with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Shilin shot him an annoyed look. "You think I didn’t want to leave? My legs have gone numb, so I can’t move."
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nearly fainted.
"Shilin, stop teasing me, will you? What’s with you all tonight?" he said irritably. They were really getting on his nerves.
"Alright, I was just teasing you," Liu Shilin said with a smile, giving him a look. "I’m going up to rest. You should get some rest too."
"Okay, wait for me in your room. I’ll come pay you a ’royal visit’ tonight," he said with a grin, taking her soft hand in his.
At his words, Liu Shilin’s pretty face flushed, and she couldn’t help but glare at him. "Jerk! Who wants a ’royal visit’ from you!"
With that, she shook his hand off and scampered up the stairs.
Watching her sexy, alluring back, Lin Kuang chuckled to himself. Whether you want it or not isn’t your decision to make. Hehe, I’m the one who decides!
Smiling, Lin Kuang went upstairs and straight into the bathroom. After a shower, he dried off and strutted out, completely naked. The man’s shamelessness truly knew no bounds. But it just went to show, as the saying goes: the thin-skinned go hungry, while the thick-skinned eat their fill. Lin Kuang was clearly the type to eat his fill.
Arriving at Liu Shilin’s room, Lin Kuang smiled as he opened the door and stepped inside.
Liu Shilin was wearing a semi-transparent nightgown that did little to conceal her pink lingerie or the delicate curves of her body beneath.
"My dear Shilin, I think you’ve gotten even more beautiful. Have you noticed?" he said with a mischievous smile, looking at her as she half-reclined on the bed.
Hearing this, Liu Shilin’s face reddened, and she shot him an exasperated look. "Stop spouting nonsense. Don’t you think I know what I look like?"
Despite her words, she was delighted to hear him say it. After all, what woman doesn’t love hearing her man call her beautiful?
"I’m serious! Do I look like a liar to you? I’m telling you the absolute truth!" he said cheerfully, sitting beside her. His mischievous hands slipped inside her lingerie, gently roaming over her smooth skin.
Instantly, Liu Shilin’s body tensed, and her charming face grew even more flushed.
"You jerk... always causing trouble," she murmured, her face beet red.
"Hey, it’s a natural human need." Saying this, he could no longer hold back and pressed Liu Shilin down beneath him, her soft, pliant body filling his embrace.
