Chapter 309: Chapter 276: The Strongest Spear, The Unbreakable Shield

"No, you can understand. If you refuse to withdraw the billion-dollar bounty, I will regard it as the Sky Wolf Fund declaring war on the Dongjiang Public Security Service, and we will not rule out using force for a genocidal reciprocal retaliation."

Zhou Ping’an’s voice was icy cold.

Since the problem stemmed from this fund, once the billion-dollar bounty was activated and brought huge troubles to him, it was necessary to solve it from the root.

As simple as that.

As for what Roger mentioned about inviting some renowned and influential people to negotiate compensation, which was essentially begging for mercy.

He had never even considered it.

Nor could he find such people to speak on his behalf.

Even if he could reach out to the most influential person available, Councilman Sun, it seemed far from enough.

The power of the Tang Tang family might be influential, but his senior sister was not favored at home and had exiled herself to Dongjiang to serve in the police.

Expecting her to mobilize significant connections was impractical.

Of course, Zhou Ping’an did not want to put Tang Tang in a difficult position.

He also did not think he needed to grovel to an arms dealer for mercy.

The other side remained silent.

Zhou Ping’an continued, "If Mr. Jeffrey cannot make the decision, please inform Johnson that I’m giving you only eight hours..."

"Stop, stop, Mr. Zhou. As far as I know, although you are a police officer, your rank doesn’t seem very high. Even your Dongjiang Governor wouldn’t dare speak to me like this."

Jeffrey seemed to be angered and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Boss? Mr. Johnson is listening, right? Why don’t you say something nice again and try?"

A flicker of displeasure crossed Johnson’s eyes.

"Pay no heed. It’s just the last whimper of the prey."

He waved his hand to signal Jeffrey to hang up the phone to avoid spoiling his mood.

He still had to prepare for a charity dinner later, and the organizers had arranged some programs, so he needed to stay in good spirits.

...

"This is useless."

Roger’s eyes were filled with despair.

He thought that he was definitely going to die this time.

Since Zhou Ping’an was unwilling to compromise, there was no reason for him to spare him.

How had he ended up in this situation?

He really shouldn’t have taken on the kidnapping job for twenty million Zhuxia currency—it was the worst plan he had ever made in his life.

"I can mobilize manpower. However, I cannot exceed ten people, as border control is very strict."

As the vice-captain in charge of comprehensive affairs, Tang Tang could arrange an official reason to go on a mission abroad.

For instance, catching a thief.

Or requesting assistance from counterparts in the Skyhawk Alliance to handle the case.

But whatever the method.

The number of people sent could not be too many.

"No need, this time senior sister stays out of it."

Zhou Ping’an said without hesitation, "In Proluo State, having too many people would be conspicuous, and it’s better if we don’t leave any traces.

Lan Fengjiao mentioned that there is a business conference there during this period. I’ll just blend in with her security team and go over..."

Zhou Ping’an turned his head to look at Roger.

"I can help. I’m very familiar with the local customs and can handle most of the business."

Roger voluntarily raised his hand to volunteer.

No matter how things may turn out, to save his own life, struggle.

Living one more day is still a day.

"So much appreciated, Mr. Roger."

Zhou Ping’an said with a smile.

Everyone is equal before death, and threats work on foreigners.

After arranging Roger in a "single room,"

Zhou Ping’an then laid out his plan.

"The [Hua Bei] was right about one thing: assassins are devoid of humanity. They come for the bounty, attracted by benefits. Therefore, we must guard against them using unorthodox tactics."

"Strike first to gain the upper hand, delay and suffer. We cannot passively wait for them to assassinate; we must find them first and eliminate them one by one.

The only difficulty with this plan is the rear-end stability, which is somewhat pressured."

Zhou Ping’an was never worried about offensive matters.

But he was not alone in this world; there were always people and things he cared about.

Living means having vulnerabilities.

Only when vulnerabilities no longer remain as weaknesses can he possibly be truly invincible.

"Third Group’s personnel are quite usable, but their strength is still somewhat lacking... I’ll gather all of these people tonight and prepare to teach them the Gentle Water Eight Steps. What do you think, senior sister?"

"As police, we are supposed to simply follow the orders of the ruling authorities. I’m worried that some may verbally agree now for their own benefit but later become uncontrollable."

Tang Tang knew her junior brother’s character well.

If it were simply about enhancing the capabilities of the police personnel to better serve the government, she would not normally be asked for her opinion.

It is less about asking himself whether he approves of imparting the cultivation technique.

and more about questioning his own attitude.

What he actually wanted was to establish a private army...

"As long as we control the channels for advancement and the supplementary breakthrough medicine, those who have some aspirations would generally not betray us afterward.

Even if betrayal occurs, I believe, Ping’an, you surely have prepared countermeasures."

These words were not spelled out explicitly but were pretty much an open secret.

The implication of Tang Tang’s words was clear.

No matter whether Zhou Ping’an’s intentions were public-spirited or self-serving, Tang Tang was prepared to go along with it anyway.

"It’s just a pity that sister labored so hard to take control of Dongjiang’s special combat forces and secured this position."

"Positions granted by others can also be taken away at any time, but true power will always belong to oneself."

Tang Tang smiled, shook her head sincerely, and said, "Besides, junior brother, do you think I don’t know how precious the things you’ve given me really are?

Compared to these treasures, an official position is just like floating clouds."

Fearing that her junior brother might feel uneasy, Tang Tang hurriedly comforted him.

In some respects.

What she said was absolutely correct.

Not to mention the rest, just taking the practice of Wave Chasing Jin and Submerged Wave Jin step by step, achieving the True Qi Realm and the circulation of True Qi, living up to 120 years old with a strong body, without any issues.

If one reaches a higher realm, such as cultivating Martial Intent, one could even live up to three Jiazis, which is 180 years old.

Although Zhou Ping’an had never spoken of it.

However, the increase in internal vitality and mental activity, and even the rejuvenation of flesh and blood cells indicating beneficial changes,

each sign undoubtedly showed she was on the most correct path.

Moreover, from some of Zhou Ping’an’s unclear statements, it could be inferred that the relics of Madame Zhao Yue, still hidden underground, might be a vast treasure trove.

The path is very long, the future extremely bright.

This path.

She felt it was necessary to walk it together with her junior brother.

...

Zhou Ping’an felt that the only person he truly owed in this affair was actually Tang Tang.

She had climbed to a high position with great difficulty, and once she conspired with him, using some unorthodox strategies, it would eventually be discovered.

Then, her position as deputy leader of the Police Security Brigade might not be secure.

But the operation could not be abandoned.

Moreover, it could not be done for nothing.

As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day.

Once his plans started fermenting,

the first thing to confront him would certainly not be any reward or promotion, but rather attacks from the opposition.

How should he respond then?

Therefore, Zhou Ping’an prepared a hidden move in advance.

"First and foremost, ensure the safety of family members. Let the Third Group members strengthen as quickly as possible."

Why choose members of the Third Group instead of others?

This unavoidably brings up Zhou Ping’an’s Tiger Talisman.

Only those directly under his command could enhance their combat capabilities.

Senses keener, responses quicker, strength greater, and movement technique more agile.

It was unclear what material the Tiger Talisman was made from or how it fundamentally operated.

The effect was simply astonishing.

Under such circumstances, not enhancing the combat capabilities of the Third Group members would be a colossal waste.

...

At nine o’clock in the evening.

Dongjiang City was still bright as day.

The training ground of Police Security’s Third Group, in a spacious area on the ground floor, had all the floodlights turned on, making it as bright as day under the brilliant lights.

Zhou Ping’an stood at the front.

Tang Tang had yielded the main position and stood to his left.

To the right was Dong Mingyue.

Since Zhou Ping’an had decided to undertake a substantial operation, preempting to resolve the crisis of the one-billion reward,

he would naturally not overlook any potential strength at his disposal.

As a benchmark for recent progress, Tang Tang’s role was to create a benchmark and contribute to intimidation.

And Dong Mingyue, being highly skilled in teaching Martial Arts, meticulous, good-tempered, and adept at tailoring her instruction to individual aptitudes, would serve as an assistant instructor, sparing Zhou Ping’an much concern.

As the most potent spear prepares to strike,

firstly, Zhou Ping’an was ready to forge an unbreakable shield.
