He insisted on having the Ghost and Poison Elders kill Kang Chenghua for one simple reason: they had to abide by the assassin's code of conduct.
They were considered "reliable assassins" in the eyes of the public. Everyone knew that with the dual constraints of the client protection period and the Assassin's Alliance's rules, they would never ruin their careers by killing a client.
Kang Chenghua knew this as well.
Under such a premise, if Kang Chenghua received a request for a meeting from the Ghost and Poison Elders, would he refuse?
What Xu Ke valued was their unique ability to secure a meeting with Kang Chenghua. While there was no shortage of people around Xu Ke strong enough to kill Kang Chenghua, none of them possessed this specific capability.
Now that these two refused to comply, why would Xu Ke compromise?
"You…" The Ghost Elder was furious and looked ready to strike.
