Chapter 273

Yes, just like what Li Lao said.

If Lu Shu wants to go, then let him go. What are diplomatic disputes? Just a war fought with words.

A country that should have been punished long ago but has been evading punishment the whole time — what's wrong with draining the marrow out of its prime minister?

Lin Fan finally understood now what Li Lao meant when he said his vision wasn't broad enough.

Indeed, his vision was too small.

Always worrying about the image of Dragon Nation and how to clean things up after an incident.

That would only make him timid and constrained.

He now also understood why Li Lao had told him to handle it as he saw fit.

This was actually a test for him too — to see how he would deal with this matter.

"Heh, handle it as I see fit?"

"How to handle it?"

"Then... let's go beat the hell out of them! Hahahaha!"

Hearing the low laugh that suddenly burst out of Lin Fan,

Song Jun got a huge fright, looking at Lin Fan with an expression of utter disbelief,

"Madman...."

"Is everyone in your State Security this crazy, or is it just you?"

Lin Fan paid no attention to Song Jun's jab, glanced at the SWAT and armed police outside the compound, and said casually.

"Have them all pull back, there's no need to keep guarding anymore."

"Oh right, leave one squad of SWAT and armed police here, have them set up defenses around the area during this period."

"Lu Shu has gone off to do something big now, let's help him protect Lu Xiaomian here in Dragon Nation first."

"Otherwise when he comes back, if anything happens to Lu Xiaomian, none of us will be able to handle the consequences!"

Song Jun nodded,

Now that Lu Shu had left, there really was no need to keep the compound cordoned off anymore.

And helping to protect Lu Xiaomian a bit was only right.

Within Dragon Nation's borders, with a squad of armed police and SWAT watching over the place, some cats, dogs, and the like could basically be dealt with.

"Then what do we do?"

"Come back to the institute with me!"

Lin Fan waved his hand, taking the lead as he walked toward the car,

"This unprecedented operation — you'll witness it together with me."

"If it really comes down to it, your military and our State Security might still need to stir the waters up a bit more in there! Hahahaha!"

Song Jun listened and his brow shot up,

Huh?

Now not only were they not stopping Lu Shu,

they were even preparing to lend remote support?

Now that's more like it!

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Honestly..... if it weren't because I'm too weak."

"What Lu Shu is doing — damn it, I've wanted to do it for ages!"

Meanwhile,

Six hours had already passed since the bounty on Abe Shinzō was posted.

More and more people on the dark web were noticing this matter, and more and more assassin IDs were starting to show up.

Under the bounty that Lu Shu had posted using Lu Xiaomian's account, the comments had already surpassed a thousand.

Even the entire dark web assassin section had become extraordinarily lively.

【Killer just took out Eva and rose to 6th, and now he's going to make a move again? If he can't complete this mission, his ranking will drop, you know!】

A brand-new post on the section instantly drew the attention of many people on the dark web.

Especially after seeing the account ID of the poster, quite a few assassins who hadn't yet made the rankings hurried over to pay homage!

"Oh my god! Even Sunny, ranked 5th, the great god himself, has shown up?"

"Paying homage, paying homage! Sunny, you're my eternal idol!"

"Killer is currently ranked 6th — if he completes this mission, can he launch a challenge for Sunny's 5th place?"

"Heh, that's assuming Killer can actually pull it off!"

The moment this account ID, ranked 5th on the dark web assassin board, appeared, it instantly pushed the bounty to an even higher level of popularity!

And then,

quite a few more assassins also started posting — some who hadn't made the rankings, and some who were within the top hundred.

【A 1-dollar bounty, and Killer goes to do a mission he fundamentally can't complete — I think there's something fishy going on here!】

【If I get the chance, I hope I can have a real showdown with Killer.】

The appearance of two more posts left the people on the dark web utterly shaken.

One was "GD," ranked 19th.

The other was "Q," who had just been ranked 7th.

"Come quick, come quick, two more great gods have shown up!"

"Q's ranking is just one spot behind Killer — he must really want to move up a place, right?"

GLOSSARY:

【Lu Shu, Lin Fan, Lu Xiaomian, Li Lao, Song Jun, Abe Shinzō, Sunny, Killer, Eva, GD, Q】

"So many bigshots online today, can't keep up with the worship."

【Although I don't know why killer went to assassinate An Jinsan for $1, I want to ask one thing...】

【If I strike first and assassinate An Jinsan, can I take killer's place at rank 6?】

Among the posts, another assassin who wasn't in the top hundred rankings had posted an attention-grabbing thread.

And in response to this, the people on the darknet gave their replies.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Little assassin who can't even crack the top hundred, just stay quiet like me."

"You actually want to steal killer's target? Hahaha! Very brave!"

However,

Just as the people on the darknet were mocking this unknown assassin's unrealistic fantasy,

A reply that appeared below left everyone stunned.

"If you're going to assassinate An Jinsan, before you kill him, please leave his bone marrow behind, 2500 grams, -80°C liquid nitrogen storage is best!"

"I'll pay a hundred million for it."

This suddenly appearing reply was a bit strange,

But upon seeing the reply ID, the people on the darknet were shocked.

"My god! killer actually replied personally?"

"Could it be that the reason killer wants to assassinate An Jinsan is to extract his bone marrow?"

"So ruthless..."

On a secluded beach in the East Sea of Dragon Nation,

Lu Shu was squatting there holding his phone, browsing the darknet.

When he saw a post saying someone else wanted to come assassinate An Jinsan, he replied below.

On the darknet, if it's a single bounty,

Then it's generally understood that whoever takes the bounty owns the mission, and other assassins usually won't come mess around.

But this is only the default!

It's not like there hasn't been a case where an assassin took a bounty, only for the target to be killed by another assassin.

In the end, neither assassin got the final commission.

And what Lu Shu truly wanted was not An Jinsan's life, but An Jinsan's bone marrow.
