Chapter 491: 372

"Bang bang bang!"

Several sounds rang out, instantly pulling everyone’s attention back.

The man across them was now making a gun gesture with his hand, repeatedly pointing at them and smiling.

"Add to that, poor combat experience. You were so easily distracted. If I were holding a different gun right now, you all would probably be dead."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Wildfire Team changed drastically, and cold sweat streamed down their foreheads as they looked at the man with newfound respect.

Although they didn’t understand why he had acted this way, and hadn’t taken the opportunity to kill them, they still felt a chill rising from behind.

Indeed, as the man had said, they trusted that given his abilities, he could surely do it.

In fact, by the standards of the Bounty Hunters, the Wildfire Team was among the top tier.

But today, after meeting this real powerhouse, they finally understood that there were always bigger fish.

Just now, in a mere moment of confrontation, they had nearly been toyed with completely by him.

"Alright, I’m done playing with you. Since you’ve found me, let’s get on with it," the man said, turning away with a look of disinterest, and once again fixing his gaze on his fishing float bobbing on the lake.

The group was stunned by his approach.

What was going on?

One moment, it was a tense situation; the next, he seemed to be waiting for death.

And from what the man said, it seemed like there was some story to it. Considering this, Weiss couldn’t help but glance at his fox and dog friends beside him and asked,

"Boss, did you come here to kill him? That’s not what we agreed on originally."

Hu Peng and Xun You were also a bit confused. They too had sensed something unusual from the man’s words, but they had really just come here to find someone. Why did it suddenly turn into a life-or-death situation?

"Maybe we got the wrong person..."

Xun You offered an explanation, then turned to the man, asking,

"Excuse me, sir, are you Jannan Vasikar? We didn’t come here to fight. I think there might be some misunderstanding."

"Oh?"

The man suddenly lifted his head, looking at them in surprise.

"Are you not from Rees? Who else would seek out this old man willingly?"

Seeing his reaction, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It really seemed to be just a mix-up.

...

Twenty minutes later.

Inside the cabin, Jannan was using a pair of black tongs to rearrange the charcoal in the stove, under which was a gridiron holding three plump fish.

The flames crackled as they burned the charcoal, with everyone’s eyes fixed on the fragrant grilled fish.

"So, you’re really not here to kill me... But I’ve hidden in such a place, how did you find me?"

Jannan was flipping the fish on the grill and asking a few strangers who had suddenly appeared beside him.

"Mr. Vasikar, it’s not clear how exactly he found you at the moment, but there are others who want to find you. If you agree, we can take you away from here right away,"

Hu Peng said.

"Oh? Who exactly wants to see me? Can’t you tell me first?"

Jannan became intrigued upon hearing this.

Hu Peng fell silent for a moment, then said, "I apologize, sir, but I’m unable to disclose information about that gentleman. However, you may refer to him as ’Ji Xing,’ which is a code name we use externally."

"’Ji Xing,’ that’s an interesting name. What might your code names be then?"

Hu Peng and Xun You exchanged glances, then spoke respectively:

"Cheng Huang."

"Huo Dou."

Weiss, who had been focused on the grilled fish, shifted his gaze upon hearing their code names, as well as the mentioned person—he knew something about them as well.

Last time at Congo, he was responsible for leading the way for these people from the Light Blue Clan, and that was also when he had last met Zhang Xiaoman.

"Hahaha, it seems the power behind you two must be significant; otherwise, you wouldn’t dare use such code names. I’m becoming more and more interested in you."

"Oh? Does the gentleman know the meaning behind our code names?"

Xun You asked, curious.

"I usually enjoy reading mythology, and I have a fair understanding of Huaxia culture."

Just then, Jannan suddenly switched to fluent Mandarin, which, if his appearance were not to be seen, would certainly make one believe he was a genuine Huaxia person.

"If I’m not mistaken, the code names you mentioned should both refer to Ancient Strange Beasts from Huaxia. ’Cheng Huang’ is a fox with two horns on its back and a white body, and ’Huo Dou’ is a large black-haired dog that can breathe fire."

Upon hearing this, Hu Peng and Xun You were both stunned for a while before they could react, surprised at his excellent Mandarin and his seemingly thorough understanding of Huaxia culture.

"It is surprising to find that Mr. Zhan knows about these things, but why do you live alone in a place like this? And who you mentioned earlier, Rees, who is he?"

Seeing that Jannan had spoken in Mandarin, Hu Peng also subconsciously switched to it.

However, this confused the members of the Wildfire Team standing nearby—all displaying bewildered expressions.

Oh, except for Mikel, the stolid-faced man.

"Mr. Zhan, it’s been a long time since I’ve been addressed that way,"

Jannan first muttered softly, then seeing the puzzled faces of the Wildfire Team, he switched back to his native language.

"Rees Walton is a shareholder of Black Fox Security, and he wants me dead because I killed his son."

As soon as he uttered these words, the people present immediately showed expressions of astonishment; they hadn’t expected Old Zhan to start with such explosive news.

Jannan paid no attention to their surprise; he continued to calmly grill the fish, then added,

"As for my identity, you probably all know it. I was once with Black Fox Security, but I left the company due to certain events, and the main culprit was Rees’s son, Hansen Walton."
