Chapter 339: Chapter 337 Mr. Lin Ke Asks Me to Say Hello to You!_1 Chapter 339: Chapter 337 Mr. Lin Ke Asks Me to Say Hello to You!_1 “What’s the situation, a gang shootout?”

The brother whose kidney had been removed clutched the throbbing seam of his surgery on his back and took a deep breath. As he inhaled, he could smell the primitive scent of gunpowder in the air and felt the presence of something pure, a “nourishment,” drifting around.

Although the “spiritual nourishment” was tempting, now was an obvious chance to escape. It was a pity that a chain locked around his neck made it impossible for him to run away.

Before he could think further, a figure suddenly entered the room.

“Am I… in the end, going to die?”

The “pseudo-human” brother looked distressed. He’d finally gotten a good start, only for it to end like this.

However, just as he was bracing for death, he realized that the other person had shot his chains apart.

“You…” While he was surprised, the obviously Asian man said to him:

“Run straight to the right when you exit the door, and after a while, you’ll reach a small town.

“I am a mercenary who came specifically for this.”

Hearing this, the brother didn’t quite believe it and stood still, not moving.

After thinking it over, Qin Chuan spoke up:

“Mr. Lin Ke sends his regards.”

“Is it Mr. Lin Ke? He really saved me!” The brother was immediately moved to tears, touched that among his compatriots there was someone who kept their word and had mixed in so well!

Without any further hesitation, he clutched the cut on his back and bolted outside.

After he left, the battle here also suddenly picked up speed, and within less than ten minutes, everything was over.

Inhaling the mix of gunpowder and blood in the air, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief—Mr. Colin’s task was finally completed.

After this run, he could almost have circled the Earth.

“Alright, we will arrange for someone to keep an eye on that man, so rest assured,” said the man with the cowboy hat as he walked out of the smoke, revealing his white teeth and a hearty smile. “I also have some matters to deal with on my end, so I won’t be escorting you any further.”

“Hmm, there’s nothing much left to do anyway,” Qin Chuan nodded, and followed by the few team members who came with him, left directly.

Watching them depart, the man with the cowboy hat slightly lowered the brim and quickly headed in another direction.

As a man of his word, he always kept his promises.

If he said he’d help the manor owner’s family reunite, then he’d make sure the family reunited!

A few hours later, he found a random phone booth and dialed a number: “It’s taken care of.”

Upon hearing this, a relieved sigh came from the other end of the phone.

“Remember my payment, the ‘True Ancestor’s Blood,'” the man reminded.

But just after he finished speaking, a gentle old voice came through the phone: “This incident obviously didn’t go as I expected, so perhaps we need to discuss the allocation again…”

He now knew that this sudden investigation wasn’t targeted at him at all, so paying with something so precious was too much of a loss.

“Hey, that’s not my problem, although the incident is over, there could still be surprises,” the man with the cowboy hat chuckled. “Besides that big shot, there might be quite a few other people interested in some of your affairs.”

After he spoke, there was silence on the phone for a while, but in the end, the deal was agreed upon.

Then the old man’s voice continued: “There’s one more thing: could you find out who actually gave the order this time?”

Although the intelligence suggested that it was just an accident, he still wasn’t reassured and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

He felt that making such a big fuss over merely fishing out a person seemed a bit unrealistic.

Moreover, it was a particularly troublesome time due to the recent family migration.

“It’s difficult. As far as I know, the assistance order came from an almost top-secret, really big figure. Trying to find out is nearly impossible, even though I’ve been partners with you guys for over a decade…”

The man wearing the cowboy hat shared what he knew, making the old man on the other end of the phone feel the incident was extraordinary, especially after hearing about the difficulty of the investigation—his heart sank deeper…

However, just as his breathing began to grow heavier,

the man wearing the cowboy hat suddenly changed the subject, “It’s going to cost more.”

“Hmm?” The old man was taken aback.

“I have a way to find out what’s behind this, but this time, I want the ‘True Ancestor’s Blood’!”

Hearing his demand, the person on the other side of the phone fell silent again, and ultimately, with difficulty, said, “Fine.”

When the call ended, the man wearing the cowboy hat narrowed his eyes but didn’t hurry to leave.

He took an encrypted phone out of his pocket: “Old Master Wu, they seem to have agreed on their end. I’ll have a chance to get in touch with their core personnel.”

“Excellent! Continue with the operation. As long as there’s contact, we’ll be able to confirm whether they are ‘Red Moon’ cult followers, and identify the real criminals behind that tragic massacre. Then, none of these guys trying to migrate here will get away!”

Listening to him, the man in the cowboy hat couldn’t help but remember the large-scale bloodbath caused by “Red Moon” cultists operating within the country.

What was supposed to be a day of New Year’s celebration turned into a nightmare as over a dozen villages evaporated overnight, leaving no living relatives except for him, who was studying abroad at the time.

After years of jumping from place to place, from domestic pursuit to international, he knew who the enemy was but was unable to act. After all, those guys were legitimate powers within the circle; he couldn’t act as freely as he could today.

It wasn’t until recently that a major figure from within the country suddenly sought people, found that estate owner, and the people of this family, as if scared, promised many things to let him take care of the hidden dangers.

That’s when he found the breakthrough.

“I look forward to that day.” The man in the cowboy hat said.

Putting aside personal grievances, he was well aware that the higher-ups were so concerned about these people because the “World Barriers” had been under threat lately, leaving the island that once ruled over most of the world looking grim.

A number of foreign artifacts that had been plundered in the past were now slowly spiraling out of control. The more places they had looted, the more types of strangeness they possessed, making it the place with the richest array of anomalies in the world today…

Many of the local ancient powers were preparing to flee and migrate.

This group was no exception; it’s just that the direction of their migration posed a threat that the country felt uneasy about—

East India.

And without a proper reason, taking action against them would easily lead to a major dispute.

At this moment, Colin could probably not imagine that what was meant to be a routine mission had now caused so many people sleepless nights, willing to pay a huge price just to confirm who he really was, thus stirring up a massive incident.

…

December 17th, noon.

The endless, ancient tolling of the clock slowly faded in his ears…

Colin found himself once again in “World Code-13”.

But as soon as he had arrived and taken in the scene before him, he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Before the bonfire, numerous old people and children were kneeling down to pray, trembling with fear, constantly chanting the name Colin had left behind in this world…

Outside the church, heavy footsteps could be heard from terrifying creatures moving around.
