At this moment, it is essential for an intermediary to step in and make an unbiased assessment to ascertain the genuine ownership of the secret flower.


    Liu Jiahui promptly contacted the intermediary, activating the loudspeaker so that Charlie and the others could hear, and dered, “I want to retract the $30 million secret flower I previously released.”


    The intermediary responded, “Mr. Liu, are you certain you wish to take back this secret flower? It’s the highest value ced on Hong Kong Ind in years. Many assassins have been dispatched today. If you withdraw it now, I fear that if you decide to release it againter, the enthusiasm might not be the same. It could all be over.”


    Without hesitation, Liu Jiahui affirmed, “I am definitely taking it back—immediately!”


    After a brief silence, the intermediary said, “Mr. Liu, if you choose to retract your offer, the $3 million handling fee will not be refunded. You have no objections to this, correct?”<fn5f99> Discover more novels at F?nd-Novel</fn5f99><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Liu Jiahui quickly replied, “No objections!”


    The intermediary continued, “Very well, I will issue a notification now, instructing everyone to withdraw the secret flower, and the $30 million will be refunded in the same manner within 24 hours.”


    Meanwhile, just outside Hong Kong Ind International Airport, numerous assassins were waiting anxiously.


    Most of these assassins were unfamiliar with one another; however, they were all hiding near the airport with the shared goal of securing the $30 million secret flower. As soon as Arman emerged from the airport, they were ready to strike.


    Some had already positioned sniper rifles in the shadows, others posed as tourists, waiting at the airport exit with pistols in hand, and a few had parked nearby, nning to ram their vehicle directly into Arman upon his exit.


    Just as they were preparing for action, a message suddenly arrived, its content simple yet impactful: “Dark Flower withdraws.”


    “Go!”


    “What the hell!”


    “I’m going to smash your lungs!”


    These assassins, poised like venomous snakes, erupted in curses at that moment.


    The withdrawal of the $30 million secret flower meant that their chance to get rich had vanished in an instant.


    Though frustration coursed through them, they recognized that expressing their displeasure was futile. Even if they resorted to violence, no money woulde their way.


    Consequently, most of the assassins began to exit the scene.


    The assassin disguised as a tourist hopped into his car and sped away. The one who had been parked on the roadside drove off, while the sniper assassins quickly packed their weapons and prepared to leave.


    However, a few assassins chose to remain. One of them was concealed in a room on the 18th floor of the Aviation Hotel, directly across from the airport. As he aimed his sniper rifle at the airport exit, he muttered angrily, “Damn it, Liu Jiahui, you really deserve this! After twenty years, your people finally return, and then you suddenly pull back? Are you kidding me? Do you think I can just ignore the expenses for this hotel room?”


    With clenched teeth, he added coldly, “I’ll take care of Arman today, and then I’ll demand my payment! If you dare to renege, I’lle after you too!”


    Others lurking in the shadows shared his mindset.


    Even though the identity of the $30 million secret flower’s publisher remained undisclosed, they were all aware that Liu Jiahui must have been behind it. Their n was to eliminate the secret flower’s threat, regardless of its withdrawal, and ensure Liu Jiahui faced the consequences, even if it meant extorting him.


    Just as the man focused on the airport exit, he suddenly felt a cold, hard object pressed against the back of his head.


    A surge of fear washed over him, as he had not heard any sound and could notprehend how someone had managed to sneak up behind him with a gun pointed at him.


    With a nervous tone, he asked, “Brother, what have I done to earn this kind of treatment?”


    The assassin, believing he was addressing a fellow operative, quickly said, “We all want the secret flower. Why don’t we team up? I can help you take out Arman. What do you say?”


    The person behind him scoffed and replied, “No. I’m with Wanlong Pce. I’ve been watching you for a while. If you had taken the chance to leave after I offered you a way out, I might have spared you. But now, unfortunately, it’s toote!”


    The man’s heart raced with terror as he struggled toprehend why someone from Wanlong Pce was targeting him.


    He instinctively turned his head to nce at the young man behind him and asked, “Does Wanlong Pce really see the dark flower as a threat?”


    The Wanlong Pce operative sneered, “We didn’te to Hong Kong Ind to chase after secret flowers. We’ll eliminate anyone who tries to go after them!”


    With that, he seized the man by the cor and, in one swift motion, threw him out of the hotel window, gun still in hand.
