The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1373: The Terrifying Celestial Eagle

"I couldn’t kill him, I lost to him, and he didn’t kill me, which means he spared my life. And I made a bet with him, I lost, so I will follow all his orders," King Kong said in a low voice.

Lin Mu heard what King Kong said, and he really admired him. This guy is considered a good man. In this situation, to be able to say such words, he’s truly a man of his word. If you lose, you lose. If you’re afraid to lose, don’t gamble. If you gamble, don’t be afraid to lose.

Brother Tiancan was obviously angry when he heard what King Kong said. "You listen to him, what about me? What about our boss? Don’t forget who taught you all your skills, it’s me, the one who trained you from a young age. Also, don’t forget, who gave you your life? It’s our boss. Without the boss, you’d be long dead."

"Hey, so Celestial Eagle is actually King Kong’s mentor," Lin Muchen murmured to himself.

King Kong glanced at Brother Tiancan and said, "Celestial Eagle has been good to me, but I have already repaid him. I signed a ten-year agreement with the Celestial Eagle Gang, and the ten-year life-selling contract expired a long time ago. I’ve been working for the Celestial Eagle Gang for over five years since then, and those five extra years are my repayment to you, Brother Tiancan. I’m a man, so I accept the bet and its outcome."

"You... you..." Brother Tiancan stared at King Kong, full of hatred, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Indeed, Lin Mu had to admire King Kong’s sheer steadfastness. He’s definitely a talent, more like a fine warrior.

"Brother Tiancan, I’m sorry, this is a man’s promise. A loss is a loss; I’m no match for Lin Mu. Perhaps without this bet, I would already be a dead man," King Kong said.

Actually, King Kong was right. For Lin Mu, recruiting such a master would naturally be the best outcome. If he couldn’t recruit him and instead he became an enemy, Lin Mu wouldn’t hesitate to act, because this guy posed too much of a threat to him.

"Then do you know the consequence of betraying the Celestial Eagle?" Brother Tiancan’s voice was very low, with a suffocatingly dull tone, "I’ve already seen his skills. You’re indeed no match for him. But if the two of us team up, we can still take him down. So I’m giving you a chance to reconsider. We join forces, kill him, and I’ll act as if nothing ever happened."

King Kong looked at Brother Tiancan and said, "Brother Tiancan, you know my character."

"I know your character, but you must understand, you are a killing machine, a person without emotion. This was the first thing I taught you after you joined me," Brother Tiancan said sharply, clearly angry at King Kong’s attitude. He couldn’t comprehend how, after following him for so many years, King Kong could prefer someone he had only known for a few minutes over him. This indeed baffled Brother Tiancan.

"I’m a killing machine, but I have my integrity and my promises," King Kong said quietly.

"Good, very good." Brother Tiancan nodded while looking at King Kong. "You must understand, the consequences of betraying the Celestial Eagle Gang. Even if I don’t kill you, the Celestial Eagle Gang won’t spare you. Although you’re not one of the Celestial Eagle Gang, you accepted this assassination mission and failed, which equals betrayal."

"I know, Brother Tiancan, pass the word to the boss. If he wants to kill me, then let him come. I, King Kong, have never been afraid of anyone," King Kong said mildly.

Brother Tiancan nodded, "Alright, King Kong, from tonight onwards, our relationship is over. You’re you, and I’m me."

After saying this, Brother Tiancan turned and swiftly disappeared into the night. After Brother Tiancan left, Lin Mu circled King Kong, closely observing him.

One has to admit, what King Kong did was indeed unexpected to Lin Mu. If it were anyone else, they could easily back out of such a situation. The so-called bet would be meaningless. Yet, this guy values his credibility this much? Or are all big guys like King Kong, simple-minded?

"Hey, you were completely on his side just now, honestly, we only just met a few minutes ago," Lin Mu patted King Kong on the shoulder and said. But truth be told, Lin Mu had a good impression of him.

"I keep my word; a loss is a loss," King Kong said.

"Alright, I admire people like you, a real man." Lin Mu patted King Kong.

"Mmm," King Kong nodded and said nothing more.

"Hey, King Kong, speaking of which, we are quite fated, aren’t we? Is this the legendary ’no fight, no friendship’?" Lin Mu said with a smile because King Kong indeed had a somewhat dull personality, so Lin Mu tried to lighten the atmosphere. Usually, guys like him are quite dull, except for Earth Wolf, who is more of the introverted and flamboyant type.

"Mmm," King Kong nodded.

"Uh..." Lin Mu was speechless, and he asked again, "What do you usually do?"

"Killing," King Kong said simply.

"..." Lin Mu was speechless.

"Besides killing?" Lin Mu asked again.

"Training, improving," King Kong said.

"And then?"

"Keep killing!"

"This way... won’t the Celestial Eagle Gang trouble you if you join me?" Lin Mu asked.

"They will," King Kong said.

"...Brother, could you please stop saying one word or four words, can you say something with more than four words?" Lin Mu said speechlessly, wondering if this was King Kong’s usual manner.

King Kong nodded and said, "Yes! Boss, I’ll follow your orders!" This sentence did indeed exceed four words!

"Then, introduce your organization to me. At least I want to have some knowledge. I haven’t heard of your organization before. It’s understandable if it’s not famous, but having someone like you yet not being famous is hard to explain," Lin Mu said.

"The Celestial Eagle Gang’s Assassin Organization in the Sai Guandong Region, usually very low-key and not generally involved in underground matters. The method of killing is typically through assassination, not publicized, so not many know about the Celestial Eagle Gang," King Kong said, and he finally responded to Lin Mu’s question with a normal sentence instead of brief words.

After hearing this, Lin Mu nodded, "It seems the Guandong Region really is full of hidden talents, and the Hidden Sect has many powerful experts!"

"By the way, what’s your ranking in your gang?" Lin Mu asked.

"Our gang has a total of ten assassins, and my strength ranks only fifth. That Brother Tiancan from earlier ranks third," King Kong replied.

"Damn, with such formidable skills you’re only ranked fifth? Just how powerful is your gang?" Lin Mu said, feeling exasperated.
