Chapter 332: Chapter 298: A Shocking Sight, A Declaration of War from Afar
The area 500 meters around Puli Street was a complete mess.
Bodies lay fallen everywhere.
A rough estimate put the death toll at over a thousand.
As a result, when Zhou Ping’an looked back, there were hardly any signs of life left on this street.
Those who could run had all run away.
Zhou Ping’an looked back at the devastation and sighed, "Why must some people insist on seeking their own death? I don’t want to create more killing; I just want an explanation."
He glanced at the live broadcast room and found that the number of online viewers had reached an unprecedented 2.23 million.
The number of likes had also surpassed 2 million.
The Mind Wish Power Silk Threads were close to 200,000.
’Not far now, soon I’ll be able to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Five Desires Evil Art, completing the Fifth Layer. With an indestructible Golden Body, even if I couldn’t dodge and was directly hit by a shell, I wouldn’t necessarily die.’
’Of course, I still can’t withstand a nuclear bomb, so I can’t be too reckless and should try to hide within the city.’
Zhou Ping’an had not yet revealed his supremely powerful physical body, wanting to keep this trump card hidden.
He was confident that he did not fear facing multiple opponents, whether in marksmanship or martial arts.
But if he truly angered the opposition and they used weapons of mass destruction, then his life might indeed be in danger.
However, as long as he stayed in the city and wasn’t targeted in the open, there was no need to worry about the Sky Hawk Alliance taking tens of thousands of lives just to bury him with them.
...
"Get away quickly, it’s no longer safe here."
Just as Lan Fengjiao was about to take a sip of her coffee, cries of alarm filled her ears.
The customers were thrown into disarray.
The waiters ran around like headless flies.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and bodyguards like Deng Zhigang, Fu Yunqian, and Li Nansheng moved quickly to surround and protect her.
Her assistant, Wen Jue, held a computer with a screen flickering with light and the sound of gunfire crackling like firecrackers.
She looked up in shock, not even noticing that she had spilled half of her coffee.
She saw not only her bodyguards and assistant with drastically changed expressions, but also the target of their negotiation, the Proluo regional manager for Doluo Cosmetics, Stell, whose face had turned pale and who had almost fallen backward to the ground.
"Ms. Lan, I’m sorry, we can’t continue our discussion. We need to get away from this street quickly, head south, not north. There’s a devil in the north, a yellow-skinned Eastern devil. I heard he’s called ’King Yan’—oh, I’m not talking about you..."
Stell was incoherent.
He couldn’t believe the news when he first received it.
Not until he saw those video clips and the bodies of several people he recognized among the corpses.
That bearded man who had been dragged out of a vehicle and shot in the head until it exploded—he had seen him at a company director’s house not long ago.
But now, he was a headless corpse.
"Over a thousand people dead, how is that possible? Even if they were a thousand pigs, they couldn’t be slaughtered this quickly."
Stell’s face turned ashen.
At that moment, who could be in the mood for business?
Although Northern Street was still far from Southern Street, no one dared to guarantee that the culprit wouldn’t come over.
"Let’s go quickly. We can discuss cooperation some other time."
Seeing this, Lan Fengjiao knew there was no point in continuing the negotiation.
How thick-skinned would one have to be to ignore the atrocity of over a thousand deaths?
Especially when such an event had occurred not far from oneself.
She watched as the patrons and waiters in the café fled as if the world was ending.
Lan Fengjiao herself started to feel the tension rising within her.
"Xiao Wen, hurry up and tell me, what happened on Northern Street? Yellow skin, are they Zhuxia people? Is there a war going on?"
"Uh... President Lan, there’s no war, just one person."
As her president’s assistant and handler of various affairs, Wen Jue, who had been pretending to panic in front of the foreigners, now had a very peculiar expression on her face.
She leaned closer and whispered, "The one who’s killing is Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou?" Lan Fengjiao’s eyes widened in shock, almost thinking Zhou Tong’s fake identity had been exposed and discovered by Wen Jue. Only when she turned to look at her assistant did she realize that Wen Jue must be referring to Zhou Ping’an’s true identity.
"Look."
Wen Jue tapped on the laptop in her hands.
The screen enlarged to reveal a handsome face with brows like knives, sharp and piercing eyes, and a glowing complexion. His long hair that obscured his left eye added to his murderous aura.
"It’s also a mystery how Mr. Zhou ended up in Proluo State. He just massacred in Dongjiang, taking down over a hundred assassins, and now he’s appeared here in Proluo State to deal with the ’Sky Wolf Fund’..."
Wen Jue’s eyes were filled with fervor, and in an instant, she guessed why such an event occurred on Puli Street in Northern Street.
It wasn’t just the Proluo official security forces that had been dispatched, but even the private army hired by Johnson had taken action.
It was clear that the Sky Wolf Fund had been wiped out in one fell swoop.
This had provoked retaliation from both the authorities and the financial magnates.
As a result, they hit an iron wall.
"Never mind, let’s go back first."
Seeing that Wen Jue wanted to say more, Lan Fengjiao quickly stopped her.
’You silly girl, if you keep talking, you might just expose all of us.’
As Lan Fengjiao spoke out to interrupt, a hint of surprise flashed through Wen Jue’s eyes.
The four bodyguards following the group also had their expressions change simultaneously.
In their memory, Lan Fengjiao, the director and president, could definitely be described as gentle and virtuous, and while saying she understood people through and through might be an exaggeration, she was incredibly perceptive about many things.
Especially in her research on emotional intelligence and human nature, she had unique insights.
Her current behavior was obviously revealing some information.
She didn’t tell her people, simply because she worried about loose lips and preferred not to elaborate.
This brought to mind the foreigner who had come on the same plane.
Although the name and the beard didn’t quite match up, one could still make out a familiar shadow.
If that foreigner was an acquaintance,
then could Zhou Tong also be an acquaintance?
It wasn’t that they couldn’t recognize him; it was just that the other party’s makeup skills were too exquisite.
...
Back at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The group returned to their room.
As expected, they didn’t see Zhou Tong and his companion arrive.
Deng Zhigang, the leader of the bodyguards, carefully checked inside and outside the room for eavesdropping devices before the group gathered to discuss in low voices. "President Lan, it has become very dangerous here," he whispered. "What do you think about aborting our operations in Proluo State and returning immediately?"
"No..."
Lan Fengjiao shook her head decisively.
"Since you have guessed it, I won’t hide it from you... All operations will continue as originally planned. I don’t know what Mr. Zhou’s intentions are, but we have to ensure he has an escape route, one that must not be cut off."
Although Lan Fengjiao was anxious in her heart, she remained composed and determined in her commands.
The shock had passed, and she had clearly thought it through.
If Zhou Ping’an had shown his true face and had begun a massacre,
then what they needed to worry about the most was not a manhunt or something of that kind.
With the other party’s almost magical abilities, the only thing to fear was large-scale lethal weapons.
Such things are impossible to guard against.
Therefore, no matter what, it was necessary for her to leave him with an identity free of suspicion.
An identity that would allow him to withdraw easily.
As Lan Fengjiao finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
The video of the battle on Puli Street was played again.
While watching it with palpitations, Wen Jue couldn’t hold back any longer.
"President Lan, are we still going to the charity luncheon tomorrow? Take a look at this..."
The video playing on the computer showed Zhou Ping’an killing all standing creatures and his speech atop Northern Street.
"Vengeance has a head, debts have an owner. As long as the bounty has not been revoked, this matter will not end; today’s incident is just a beginning. Mr. Johnson, I’m coming for you, and I hope, our next meeting will satisfy you."
These words were undoubtedly a declaration of war.
Wen Jue marveled, "Mr. Zhou isn’t just thinking of killing people and running away; by the sounds of it, he wants to find Johnson and kill this military trade tycoon, to completely eradicate him.
Yes, he has already destroyed the Sky Wolf Fund and killed Johnson’s eldest son along with six hundred elite private soldiers, creating irreconcilable hatred between them. It wouldn’t be right not to pursue the victory."
"Johnson has responded. He will attend the charity luncheon tomorrow and has called on people from all walks of life to mobilize against the terrorist forces..."
By now, Deng Zhigang had also figured out what was going on.
Looking at the news videos that had exploded online, he turned his head to look at the others.
"Such a coincidence?"
Lan Fengjiao was also surprised.
The charity luncheon on Luosheng Road was naturally part of her itinerary, and she had already received an invitation from the organizers.
Changing her mind and not going now would be too conspicuous.
If she went, it would surely be dangerous.
"Johnson lost his son, and even though he knows he is Mr. Zhou’s primary target, he has still proactively revealed his itinerary for tomorrow. This behavior is very abnormal."
"The only explanation is that he wants to switch from defense to offense, set a trap, and seek revenge. This man started with smuggling arms and has adventuring blood in his bones. Knowing he can’t avoid his fate forever, he wants to use all his connections to fight a decisive battle."
After a moment of thought, Lan Fengjiao understood what Johnson was planning.
Deng Zhigang nodded in agreement and analyzed from a professional standpoint, "Number eleven on Luosheng Street is an area with a wide field, and it’s within the line of sight of several buildings. Indeed, it’s a good place for an ambush; once Mr. Zhou shows up, leaving again will be very difficult."
Lan Fengjiao shook her head, "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Mr. Zhou will definitely have his own plans; we don’t need to overthink it and pretend as if we know nothing. We should proceed as we normally would."
Her words carried firmness.
In fact, she didn’t believe at all that she was in any danger.
She didn’t quite believe that the Sky Hawk Alliance could come up with any effective methods to deal with Zhou Ping’an.
’Tangtang and Mingyue have only practiced for so long and have already become so powerful? Their movement techniques are as fast as ghosts. God knows what other abilities Zhou Ping’an has been hiding. If the Proluo State officials analyze Zhou Ping’an’s strength based on the battle at Puli Street, they might end up making an even bigger mistake.’
But that was good.
That’s just how the Sky Hawk Alliance was, always accustomed to arrogance. Without breaking their back completely, this matter would never end.
The reason she hadn’t continued her offensive and had given some time for the opposition to respond,
’You must have your considerations, right?’
As Lan Fengjiao thought this, her lips pursed slightly, and she finally saw through Zhou Ping’an’s scheme and understood what he really wanted to do.
