Did you think this thing didn't have a signal tracker?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Zhang Cheng wrapped up the antimatter bomb in his hands and tucked it into his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once this thing was in the storage space, never mind the leader of the Bamo organization—even if the CIA came, they’d be scratching their heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the antimatter bomb's signal suddenly vanish, the Bamo leader stood frozen in place. He had clearly seen the signal just a moment ago; although it was weak, it was still trackable, but now it had disappeared entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Bamo leader was stunned, the returning Xia brothers spoke up: \"Leader, things have gone wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. From now on, surround this area and search. We must find the whereabouts of the bomb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Addressing the Xia brothers beside him, the Bamo leader grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had impersonated Jia Ba specifically to use that idiot Xu Dafu to bring the bomb in, but now, he had messed everything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had a special task force appeared, but his antimatter bomb had also gone missing. What the hell was he supposed to do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to Xu Dafu, he was slapped awake inside the Special Task Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the person standing before him, he was filled with confusion, because the damage that slap had caused him was simply too great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you people? Why are you hitting me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching his cheek, Xu Dafu couldn't help but speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The case? I’m asking you, where is the case?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xu Dafu earnestly, Owens grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What case? I don't know what you're talking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to be ignorant, Xu Dafu hurriedly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're playing dumb with me, aren't you? I'm asking you, where did that case full of diamonds go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Xu Dafu before him, Owens began to berate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a good citizen, I want to file a...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Dafu heard this, he immediately turned serious, because he himself didn't know where the case had gone, so how could he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're playing dumb with me? Do you know where this is? This is the Special Task Bureau!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berating Xu Dafu, Owens stared at him with a solemn face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care where this is. If you don't release me, just wait to talk to my lawyer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the crowd arrogantly, Xu Dafu lifted his head with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Dafu, many people rubbed their fists and stepped forward, seemingly wanting to show him what kind of place the Special Task Bureau was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, as a bruised and swollen Xu Dafu wiped away a nosebleed, he said aggrievedly: \"I don't know! I was knocked out, and then the case was gone. As soon as I woke up, you guys started asking me—how would I know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Owens, Xu Dafu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Dafu's words, Owens asked solemnly: \"You really don't know? You didn't hide it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't know. I just wanted to buy some diamonds and be a middleman—is that so difficult?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the crowd aggrievedly, Xu Dafu became heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if his embezzlement of public funds was discovered, he was a dead man. A-Tong would never let him go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the person he had dealt with in the cold storage last time, Xu Dafu's face was filled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, he really won't say. How about...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Owens' side, Li Zhiyong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Release this 'Brainless' and that 'Unhappy' together. They really are useless at everything and ruin everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with disdain, Owens knew no intelligence could be extracted, so he rubbed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Special Task Bureau, Xu Dafu hadn't gone far before Wu Yingxiong caught up with him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other person following him, Xu Dafu said in shock: \"No, why are you following me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the case? What was the case they were looking for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xu Dafu, Wu Yingxiong pressed him for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if the Special Task Bureau wanted that thing so badly, the contents of the case shouldn't be as simple as just diamonds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy? How would I know where the case is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wu Yingxiong, Xu Dafu pointed at him and said: \"I'm telling you, stop following me. Don't look at me like I'm weak; I can take both of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Dafu say this, Wu Yingxiong immediately stepped forward: \"Try it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a high-end hotel somewhere, Zhang Cheng took out the antimatter bomb and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sudden appearance of the signal, the Bamo leader immediately shouted: \"Found it! Go and bring it back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the leader's words, the Xia brothers immediately took their team members and set off for the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing their guns and approaching cautiously, one person kicked the door open and rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after they saw there was no one in the room, they saw a phone number left on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good fellow, playing this game with me, are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking in anger, the Bamo leader watched the signal disappear again and couldn't help but roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just after he dialed the number, a mocking voice came through: \"Didn't find me? Are you angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking coldly, the Bamo leader grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's simple. Everything has a price. If the price is right, there’s nothing that can’t be discussed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with a mocking face, Zhang Cheng toyed with the antimatter bomb in his hands and couldn't help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had removed the tracker while in the storage space; now, this bomb was his trading commodity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't Bamo want to use it to destroy the harbor to prove its power and find a buyer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhang Cheng would go one step further and let them see with their own eyes how this bomb exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking of the power of antimatter, Zhang Cheng frowned: \"I wonder if my 'Counter-Strike' can absorb it. If it really can, wouldn't I be a walking 'Nuclear Peace Envoy'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the Bamo leader didn't get angry but directly told him to name his price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for him, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current priority was to get the antimatter bomb. As for whether Zhang Cheng could live long enough to get the money, that wasn't his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you dare to threaten Bamo, you must be prepared to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a bit better than those shameless ones. I only want 500 million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with a smile, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, 500 million. I'll have someone wire it to your account right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Zhang Cheng only wanted 500 million, the Bamo leader, who had originally intended to kill him, was dumbfounded. Was this guy really that ignorant of the value?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm talking about US dollars! Not Yizhou currency!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party agree so readily, Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded. Did they think he was a poor wretch who had never seen the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an antimatter bomb! You want to take it back for 500 million? Are you joking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you just rob me? 500 million—where would I get that much money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking in anger, the Bamo leader was driven mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't I robbing you right now? Whether you give it up or not is up to you, but I believe many people are interested in this thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng became cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the Bamo leader gritted his teeth: \"I only have 200 million. You figure it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal. Money in one hand, goods in the other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Bamo leader take the bait, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: Finally, he took the bait!\u003C\u002Fp>",1349,"2026-06-18T01:05:50.539Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","955365f8b56b4655b7b6bc993c417b0151eca3c58894da35201b4f930018eb96","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-975","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-973",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
