Chapter 276

After finishing these words,

the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into an eerie dead silence,

after a long while,

An Jin-san's extremely hoarse voice rang out.

"So that means..."

"The one who wants to come and attack me this time is precisely that wicked person who destroyed the Holy Nation Society, whom we have been searching for bitterly?"

"I am afraid that is exactly the case, my lord Prime Minister!"

The Minister of Police nodded deeply, his heart shaken immensely.

Knowing this news was far more shocking than knowing that a Dragon Country person was coming to attack the Prime Minister.

It turned out,

that the death of the senior councilor last time, and the destruction of half of the Holy Nation Society,

were done by that Dragon Country person named killer? lv!

Back then, in order to track down the murderer, my lord Prime Minister had already executed more than a dozen officials who failed in their duties in succession!

That period of unmentionable past days

became the nightmare and shame of all high-ranking officials of the Island Nation!

And now,

this wicked murderer is actually preparing to step onto the land of our Island Nation for a second time,

attempting to launch another most brazen attack???

Is this truly not taking our Island Nation into account at all?

"Last time, you failed to find the murderer, so I, on behalf of the Emperor, forgave you."

After learning this news, An Jin-san's voice slowly rang out.

"And this time, that murderer has already attempted to provoke the dignity of our Great Island Nation again, attempting to bestow shame upon us once more."

"Lord Ueno, Lord Matsui, do you know what you should do?"

An Jin-san called out the names of the Minister of Police and the Minister of Defense simultaneously.

The two straightened their bodies at the same time and bowed their heads deeply.

"Hai-i!"

"We will surely wash away our shame with his flesh and blood!"

An Jin-san knelt on his seat again, his face calm to the point of being chilling.

"If you fail this time, you shall commit seppuku."

"What else is in the intelligence? When will that Dragon Country person depart?"

Having received the order, the Minister of Police looked at that anonymous intelligence again, his fingers trembling violently.

"My lord Prime Minister... he has already departed!"

"The intelligence says that Dragon Country person is entering our Island Nation by swimming."

"The route is from the East Sea waters of Dragon Country, heading straight east; the expected landing point will be Zhoudao."

The landing point is at Shedao, the southernmost tip,

while the Prime Minister's official residence is at Haidao, the northernmost tip.

That means,

if that Dragon Country person really intends to attack my lord Prime Minister,

it means.....

he must cut through Shedao, Shiguo Island, and Zhoudao, finally arriving at Haidao.

That means,

cutting from the southernmost end of the Island Nation to the northernmost end?

As soon as this thought occurred, the Minister of Police's first reaction was that it was impossible!

Crossing the entire Island Nation to assassinate my lord Prime Minister?

How could such a thing possibly exist....

And looking at the time this anonymous intelligence was sent, as well as the coordinate position of that Dragon Country person,

the Minister of Police calculated mentally for a moment,

and finally raised his head with a serious expression.

"My lord Prime Minister, judging by the time this intelligence was sent,"

"that Dragon Country person named Lu Shu will land on Zhoudao in half an hour..."

Hearing the Minister of Police's words,

An Jin-san's expression began to twist into a grotesque grimace,

"Then what... are you still waiting for?"

"Get out!!!"

"I want him dead the moment he sets foot on shore!!!"

"Hai-i!!!"

On the vast East Sea waters,

the morning sun shone upon the boundless sea surface,

white seagulls flew freely against the sea breeze,

and just within the deep blue seawater beneath these seagulls,

A figure was quietly and rapidly cutting through the waves.

More than ten minutes later,

Lu Shu paused briefly on a tiny islet that barely poked a tip above the water,

it couldn't even be called a small island, because its area was only about ten square meters at most.

When he came ashore,

Lu Shu was dragging a salmon of just over fifty centimeters in his hand.

Sitting on this tiny reef islet, Lu Shu began carefully cleaning the salmon.

Then he cut off the most nutritious belly meat and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

Nearly two-plus hours of swimming had cost him a great deal of energy,

and now, the lost energy was recovering bit by bit.

He lifted his head slightly,

and could already see the dark silhouette of an island on the distant sea.

Island nation, Jiuzhou Island.

Lin Fan's voice came through the earpiece,

"This time you swam across, and you set off very fast."

"The island nation hasn't yet realized you're almost there."

"At the very least, when you go ashore, you should be safe."

In that meeting room of Long Kingdom,

Lin Fan, who had dozed off for a bit, was now awake, while Song Jun had gone to catch up on sleep.

He looked at Lu Shu, who was eating the salmon sashimi one bite at a time,

and fiercely tossed aside the half-eaten instant noodles in his hand.

"But there's one thing I still can't figure out — the An Jinsan you're looking for is on Beihai Island, in the far north."

"Then why did you choose to land on Jiushe Island, in the far south?"

"That way, it's as if you have to cross the entire island nation."

On the screen,

Lu Shu swallowed a piece of fish meat brimming with juices, his face expressionless.

"I have an armory on Jiushe Island. I need to go pick up the gear first."

Lin Fan listened and could only laugh bitterly,

Damn! He actually set up a weapons depot on the island nation?
