Chapter 94: Assassinate Lin Mo!

In Tianbei City, at the headquarters of the Wild Shark Guild.

Inside the guild hall.

A burly man sat on the sofa, a ferocious bloodthirsty wild shark tattooed on his chest.

A sword scar ran across his entire back, making him appear exceptionally fierce.

Sitting opposite him were two men.

The one on the left wore gold-rimmed glasses, his hair combed without a single strand out of place, looking refined and gentle.

The one on the right was a middle-aged man, currently wiping cold sweat from his forehead nonstop, restless, his eyes darting about.

The gold-rimmed glasses man looked at the video on the computer and sighed in a somewhat stiff Longguo accent:

"Wonderful, truly wonderful..."

"Is this the number one of this year's Long Xu Ban in your Longguo?"

"Not only mastering fire and earth, but also proficient in the lightning element? To achieve this at level twenty..."

At this moment, the middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly:

"Mr. Shanben... Shanben Jianyi, I have given you the items, including the detailed files of everyone in this year's Long Xu Ban, and the combat videos..."

"You promised that as long as I gave these to you, you would release my wife and daughter... and the fifty million, and send our family to Yingguo..."

"I beg you, arrange it quickly! Once the higher-ups find out, it's a capital crime! I can't stay in Longguo anymore! Every second is torture for me!"

Shanben Jianyi smiled, stood up, walked behind the man, placed both hands on his shoulders, and spoke gently:

"Chen-san, do not rush."

"You Longguo people often say, those who recognize the times are the heroes."

"You were able to decisively abandon those vague national righteousness for the safety of your family."

"This spirit of sacrificing the many for the sake of the few is truly moving."

The man's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he forced a smile:

"Thank you, Mr. Shanben, for understanding. I was forced into this; if a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him..."

Pfft—!

A huge hand pierced through from behind to the front without warning.

"Ugh... gk..."

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, looking at Shanben Jianyi in disbelief.

Blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

Shanben Jianyi pulled out his bloody right hand, disgustingly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood, and the smile on his face turned cold and sinister:

"Although I appreciate your sense of reality, I really hate traitors."

"To betray even one's own country is truly disgusting."

"As for your family..."

Shanben Jianyi threw the blood-stained handkerchief onto the still-twitching corpse and said indifferently:

"A family should be complete; they will be down there to accompany you soon."

The light in the middle-aged man's eyes quickly faded, filled with endless regret, and he fell into the pool of blood.

Zhao Tianling, the president of the Wild Shark Guild who had been sitting on the sofa watching the show, frowned slightly.

Although he was also a man who killed without blinking, Shanben Jianyi's perverted behavior still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Someone, drag this trash away and clean the floor."

Zhao Tianling waved his hand, and two subordinates immediately entered to drag the corpse away.

A moment later,

Zhao Tianling's voice was low:

"Shanben, you have the items you wanted; get lost quickly."

"The investigation is tight recently; if it's discovered that our Wild Shark Guild has ties with your Yingguo, I wouldn't have enough heads for nine beheadings."

Shanben Jianyi smiled, not minding it at all.

"President Zhao, do not be so nervous."

"There is no other way; your Longguo is too closed off, data cannot be transmitted through the network or communications, so it must be carried by human hands."

Speaking of this, a flash of cold light passed through Shanben Jianyi's eyes:

"In the upcoming World Battlefield, our Yingguo and your Longguo have been assigned to the same battlefield."

"This information is crucial for the Empire."

"As long as we figure out the trump cards of this year's Long Xu Ban, it will be a tremendous help to our Empire's 'Ghost and God Assembly'."

Zhao Tianling snorted coldly and said impatiently:

"That is your business; do not drag me into it, get lost quickly."

Just then.

The door was pushed open, and a refined-looking man walked in.

Zhao Tianling glanced over, frowned slightly: "Third Brother? Were you not guarding the Rocky Wasteland? Why have you returned?"

The man wasted no words and reported:

"Big Brother, we encountered Xu Wenchang of the Long Guard Army; he was likely bringing the students of the Long Xu Ban to open a Team Fuben over there, and incidentally drove us away."

"Long Fist Xu Wenchang?"

Zhao Tianling was stunned. "Why would the Long Xu Ban come here to grind a Team Fuben? Isn't the Team Fuben at Kyoto University enough for them to grind?"

The man replied in a deep voice:

"President, I recall that the activation coordinates for a Temple Team Fuben are in the Rocky Wasteland; I think they came here for the Temple Team Fuben."

"Is that so?"

A flash of greed passed through Zhao Tianling's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it with reason. "Since they are Long Xu Ban's people, let it go. Do not provoke them."

Although he was fierce, he knew his limits.

Bullying practitioners with no background was one thing, but provoking someone like Long Xu Ban of the Dragon Guard Army was purely inviting death.

Shanben Jianyi, standing nearby, turned the laptop screen in his hand toward them.

"Are those students you encountered these people?"

Seeing this, the man leaned closer to the screen, scrutinized it for a few seconds, then nodded with great certainty:

"That's right, it is these people."

After receiving the affirmative reply.

Shanben Jianyi gently closed the computer and looked at Zhao Tianling.

"Guild President Zhao."

"If I recall correctly, your guild's warehouse should still have some 'Intruder Scrolls'?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tianling's eyelid twitched violently.

He looked at Shanben Jianyi warily:

"What do you want to do?"

"What else could I do?"

Shanben Jianyi shrugged, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Of course, kill them."

"What?"

Zhao Tianling sprang straight up from the sofa:

"Are you crazy? That's Long Xu Ban! Xu Wenchang is guarding outside!"

"If you want to die, don't drag me into it! I haven't lived long enough yet!"

Facing Zhao Tianling's rage, Shanben Jianyi's tone remained calm:

"Guild President Zhao, if we can kill that strongest combatant of Long Xu Ban right here, this merit will be enough for me to be ennobled in the Empire!"

Zhao Tianling snorted coldly. "That is your merit, what does it have to do with me? I only know that once we act, my head will be on the block tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Shanben Jianyi's mouth curled up slightly:

"Guild President Zhao, even I, a person from Ying Country, know that Long Fist Xu Wenchang is a notorious killing god, notorious for hating evil."

"Now that he already knows you were forcing sales and bullying the weak in the Wasteland of Broken Stones, do you think you can still survive?"

Shanben Jianyi sneered repeatedly:

"Once his students finish the Team Fuben, I guarantee he will turn around and lead the Dragon Guard Army to bloodily wash your Mad Shark Guild."

After these words were spoken.

Zhao Tianling's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Although he did not want to admit it, he knew clearly in his heart that Shanben Jianyi was right.

That old thing Xu Wenchang could not stand such things the most.

The reason he hasn't acted yet is because he has to wait for his students to finish the Team Fuben.

Once he frees his hands...

It will be a situation of certain death.

Shanben Jianyi continued speaking:

"But if you help me kill those few students..."

"I have special evacuation channels. I can take you and your core members to Ying Country."

"I guarantee that in Ying Country, you will not only survive, but also enjoy wealth and glory that you could not spend in several lifetimes."

Zhao Tianling stared at him fiercely.

The scene of that middle-aged man dying miserably was still before his eyes.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Heh, Guild President Zhao, you have no choice. Whether to wait for the Dragon Guard Army to come knocking, or to trust me and take a gamble, you decide."

After Shanben Jianyi finished speaking, he sat back down again, looking at Zhao Tianling with interest.

Zhao Tianling fell silent.

The person from Ying Country was right; he was already trapped in a dead end.

No matter where he fled, as long as he was within the borders of Long Country, relying on the Dragon Guard Army's capabilities, he would surely die.

Now there is only one path, and that is to escape Long Country!

After a long while.

Zhao Tianling suddenly raised his head.

"Damn it, let's do it!"

"Shanben Jianyi, I hope you can keep your promise; otherwise, I will fight you to the death."

Shanben Jianyi smiled:

"Guild President Zhao, please trust me. As long as we successfully kill those students, I will definitely take you to our Ying Country."

"Hmph, better be so."

Zhao Tianling snorted coldly, then turned to look at the man beside him. "Third Brother, what is the level restriction for the Temple Team Fuben in that place?"

Third Brother seemed to have checked it long ago and blurted out:

"President, level 20-25."

'Alright.'

Zhao Tianling nodded and said:

'Good thing the Random Entry Scroll doesn't require getting close to the Team Fuben—just using it within the area lets you see all nearby open Team Fuben; otherwise, dealing with that old bastard would've been truly difficult.'

Then, his eyes red, he spoke at breakneck speed:

'Gather every elite in the guild between levels 20 and 25, issue them the best gear and weapons, and equip them with the finest pills.'

'The Random Entry Scroll is too precious—we only have three. Divide the team into three squads.'

'Use your most elite personnel to launch a wheel attack against them!'

'Three scrolls, three waves of assassinations, armed with the best gear—I don't believe we can't kill him!'

'Yes, Big Brother!'

Third Brother accepted the order and turned to run.

'Wait.'

Zhao Tianling called him back, his voice icy:

'Tell the brothers—if anyone kills Lin Mo, I'll reward him one hundred million! I'll take him to Japan to enjoy life!'

'Hurry! Get them inside before they clear the Team Fuben!'

'Yes!!!'

Watching Third Brother sprint away into the distance.

Shanben Jianyi smiled in satisfaction.

'Chairman Zhao, a wise choice.'
