Assassination System

Stealing the Formation Plate was something that he only considered in the worst outcome possible. However, since Leader Blackie burned the bridges that he used to cross, Dan couldn't be bothered to be polite. Since he's already hostile to him, what harm would happen if he provokes him more?

Dan calmly walked through the area and everyone who noticed his presence respectfully bowed with their hands clasped together. Nodding their heads to them, Dan maintained a cold facade as he approached the sliding door where the mark placed in the minimap indicated.

Glancing around, Dan found that there was no one and was about to remove his disguise when a familiar feminine voice struck his body as he froze.

"Lil' Blackie, do you have the information that I needed, yet?"

Dan turned around and found a young woman with a jet-black hair clad in an azure robe when Dan last saw her, she looked more amiable and gentle, but now, with his disappearance and passage of time, she looked more dignified and icy.

His expression softened for a moment as complicated emotions ran through his mind. With her bearing of a leader, Dan understood that she must be the precious guest that Leader Blackie mentioned back at the meeting.

Natalie expressed her displeasure upon witnessing Dan's reaction. Knitting her eyebrows, she said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear what I said?" Dan regained his calm, realizing that he was still using Leader Blackie's image, he said, "Don't worry about it, I'll get it ready soon..."

"Make it fast since I still have some matters to handle back at the mainland," Natalie shrugged, the information that she wanted to know was about the two Divine Arts user that he asked her to kill. Ever since she arrived in this place, she already missed her small munchkin and didn't want anything other than to go back and search for her husband.

Now that the distraction was gone, Dan focused on the task at hand and scanned the room for any traps or protective formation. But as he reached his hand out, Natalie's voice echoed behind him, "Lil' Blackie, why are you going to enter that room?"

Dan turned around, and stared at her with a respectful expression on his face, "You need not concern yourself about the matters of this lowly one," He even cupped his hands together but Natalie coldly replied, "Just answer my question, Lil' Blackie, why are you going to enter that room,"

"Well, that's of course, I want to check out the Formation Plate..." When Natalie heard his words, her expression became colder, "As the owner of the Formation Plate, you should know that the door before you could only be opened using a certain key, right?"

'A certain key? Why didn't I hear of this?' Dan inwardly cursed but still maintained his calm as he said, "Ah! So that's the reason why I kept feeling that I forgot something! I'll be going to get it now," Sensing that he failed, Dan promptly retreated all the while scratching his head in awkwardness.

"I see, so Lil' Blackie forgot the keys for such a room containing his most precious belonging..." Natalie mockingly said, and Dan felt a sense of imminent danger behind him as he swiftly activated Flicker and avoided the thunderbolt that struck his initial position.

Entering Stealth, Dan stared at the confused Natalie as he inwardly sighed, though it was a good thing to have a smart wife like her. However, in this situation, it clearly became detrimental to him as Natalie inadvertantly disrupted his plans.

Leaving the area, Dan didn't reveal his identity since he had a more intricate plan when it comes to their reunion. Walking towards the direction of the gambling establishments that the Black Wing Gang organized, Dan assumed his original appearance and walked inside.

The name of the establishment was Seven Glory, all sorts of entertainment from hookers to normal gambling could be seen inside. It looked bustling and full of activity with shouts of dealers and the complaints of customers along with their despairing cries as they lost.

Dan walked towards a nearby formation plate before taking a single silver coin from his pocket. He exchanged it for a jade token that he could use for gambling. Most of the people who came here were old and broke, the most that they could use for gambling would be ten copper coins which was a tenth of a silver coin.

So when Dan exchanged the silver coin some avarice filled gazes landed on his figure and followed him behind. The movements of their hands alone indicated their skill in picking pockets.

However, Dan knew what they would do and everytime he moved, he angled his cloth bag in a place where it was risky to reach for, which made these poor bastards awkwardly scratched their head in each time they tried bumping their bodies on Dan.

Activating the Formation Plate, a semi-transparent screen could be seen and Dan realized that the Formation Plate displayed a slot machine game. A small smile lifted on his face as he manifested his Qi and secretly tamper with the device using the help of the System's weak point search function.

Tapping on the start button, the slot machine rolled and when it stopped, a brilliant light exploded from the semi-transparent screen which garnered the attention of the surrounding crowd, everyone's expressions changed when they realized that he won the jackpot.

"What the fuck? That brat is so lucky, he actually managed to take the jackpot in a single try!"

The crowd mumbled towards each other as the already rowdy hall became rowdier than before. Dan revealed a slight smile, this attention was included in his plans. He needed the crowd's attention so that those bastards from the Black Wing Gang couldn't do something suspicious towards him.

One of the dealer who called for customers revealed a slight smile and said, "See? Our Game Formation Plates aren't a scam. He even won the jackpot!" But inwardly, a cold sweat run through his back, Leader Blackie purposely manipulated the Formation Plates so that the chances of obtaining a jackpot would become abysmally low, yet someone actually acquired it.

Amidst the anticipating gazes of the crowd, the semi-transparent screen displayed the words,

"Congratulations! You won, ten thousand gold coins!"

The crowd burst into cheers and Dan stared dumbfounded at the displayed message. He didn't expect that he would actually won such a huge amount. Glancing around the area, he noticed more gambling machines and after taking his reward that was given by the Formation Plate, he walked towards another gambling machine and activated it.

Obviously, everyone thought that it would impossible for someone to win two consecutive jackpots so they didn't expect much. The dealer who spoke earlier lost interest and started hawking for customers, but before he could attract someone, a burst of golden light surged from Dan's direction, stunning him silly.

Turning towards the source of the light, there he found Dan smiling to himself, 'What in the actual fuck? Did he actually win two consecutive times?' He knitted his eyebrows as he frowned, with this second win, Dan managed to pocket, twenty-thousand gold coins.

The crowd cheered but some of the smart ones started frowning in doubt. How could someone win two jackpots in a row? Well, it wasn't impossible if he's in cahoots with the Black Wing Gang...They thought but they didn't speak up, they just observed Dan's antics in amusement.

Dan knew about their doubts and he had predicted it beforehand. That's the reason why he made himself so high profile so that he could attract the attention of the crowd. Glancing at another Formation Plate, he moved and the crowd followed him as they said,

"Could it be that he's going at it again? Just how many times is he going to win before he becomes satisfied?"

"Nah, don't be so optimistic, he may have used his entire lifetime's luck just for those two jackpots,"

"Well, if I manage to win ten-thousand gold coins I won't regret using up my entire lifetime's luck..."

"Yeah, right."

The dealer focused his gaze at Dan and sent a probing Qi, scouring him for his tricks. But Dan merely shrugged, he had an overpowered System that could almost do anything as long as its possible. Why would he fear such a measly probing Qi.

He activated the Formation Plate and a burst of golden light once again descended on the hall. This time, everyone closed their mouths and followed Dan with their eyes as he went on to win at least two-hundred thousand gold coins.

Because of his sudden winnings, literally everyone in the higher echelons of the Black Wing Gang was attracted and entered the establishment.

"Hey, isn't that Leader Blackie? He actually came here with Senior Rocknose," The crowd pointed and hissed after realizing the identities of the two middle-aged man clad in a jet-black robe.

Leader Blackie's expression looked like his name. He approached Dan's vicinity with heavy footsteps along with his subordinate as he said, "Brat, just what the hell are you doing?"

Dan turned around and stared at him with an uninterested expression, "Me? Ah! So it is the most venerable Leader Blackie, please forgive this humble one's presumptous visage..." After he realized his rudeness, he exaggeratedly bowed and clasped his hands together in respect.

But seeing his gesture, Leader Blackie's figure trembled as he suppressed his urge to slap the brat's face. Rocknose, the middle-aged man whose features looked like his mother dropped him when he was a child, frowned in displeasure, "Brat, you actually dared play with us!" He raised a finger and pointed it at Dan, "Now return the money that you cheated from us!"

The crowd's expression flickered, 'So him and the Black Wing Gang weren't related?' They inwardly thought and contemplating about Rocknose's accusation of cheating, they stared at Dan with a light of enlightenment, 'So that's the reason why he won so many jackpots in a row...' But still...

They frowned, for they didn't notice him cheating. And that only meant one thing, either his cheating techniques were too good or he didn't cheat in the first place. But witnessing his performance earlier, the crowd leaned towards the former possibility.

"Ah, so both seniors are accusing this humble me, as cheating?" Dan chuckled, "How about you observe this one's gamble?" Dan activated the Formation Plate again and under Leader Blackie and Rocknose's sneering gazes, the Formation Plate rolled, displaying numerous images of fruits.

Leader Blackie along with Rocknose shrugged after they saw that Dan didn't do anything suspicious towards the Formation Plate. However, the crowd suddenly exploded into cheers as a golden light surged from the Formation Plate.

The two stared grimly at Dan, the latter has once again won another set of ten-thousand gold coins. Leader Blackie's expression darkened when remembered the former's words. Staring at him, He said, "You, come with me to the headquarters,"

Dan chuckled upon hearing his words, "This humble one wouldn't dare to disobey," He bowed and followed the two. And just before they left, Leader Blackie said towards the dealer, "Shut the place down," His declaration stunned everyone in the area as they stared at Dan with a light of admiration and worship in their eyes.

He actually won so much money that he forced Leader Blackie's establishement into shutting down...

Dan also realized this fact, but he merely shrugged, and followed the two as he entered the Black Wing Gang's pavilion with a smile of anticipation lifted on his face.
