Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Strong Don’t Trip Over the Same Stone Twice_1

In Lu Xiang’s estimation, the person who had given her the slip of paper belonged to another secret organization, not inferior to Military Intelligence Section Seven. This group had been lurking in the shadows, closely observing the movements of their counterparts and intervening at opportune moments.

It was certain that the one they were dealing with was right now in this town somewhere.

They had been prepared to leave no stone unturned to find the person posing as an enthusiastic townsfolk, but to their surprise, the Horn Bug squad found the imposter in less than fifteen minutes.

By the time they blocked the door, the imposter had already packed his bags, dressed in a cloak that concealed his whole body, ready to make his escape.

Upon seeing Lu Xiang burst through the door, he stiffened.

However, when they lifted the cloak and saw the man’s true face, both Lu Xiang and Song Lan who were blocking the door also looked stunned.

"How could it be you?"

Lu Xiang was rarely surprised by the identity of a suspect.

Hidden beneath the cloak was none other than everyone’s good friend, the second-in-command of the Esinvig Army with a bounty of thirty-nine million and eight hundred thousand watts, "Mr. Rat."

After a moment of panic, "Mr. Rat" forcibly suppressed the nearly overwhelming fear that surged through him upon seeing his natural enemy, and spoke with a deep voice, "Long time no see, Director Lu."

In the Esinvig Army, he had heard of a saying, "treat a soldier with fresh eyes if you haven’t seen them in three days." It had been far more than three days since he last saw Lu Xiang, and during this time, he was no longer the man who would surrender to a Gatling gun; instead, he became the notorious second-most-wanted criminal in the Esinvig Army.

He tried to recall the images of the truly ruthless characters in the army and spoke with feigned profundity, "I just happened to be passing by and had no intention of getting into dispute with you."

Indeed, he now carried a bounty of over thirty million watts as a serious criminal. According to the scenario, a battle with him would be enough to destroy The First Region. As the local Law Enforcers’ head, would Lu Xiang dare to take such a risk?

"The issue now is not whether you’re willing to enter into a dispute with us but rather that you, as a fugitive wanted by the United Government, have the audacity to blatantly come to The First Region!"

Lu Xiang answered "Mr. Rat" with action, she directly drew her gun and aimed it at "Mr. Rat’s" forehead.

Zhāo!

She really dared!

"Mr. Rat" was greatly shocked inside. He couldn’t understand whether his thirty million plus bounty no longer mattered or if Lu Xiang was just a rash youngster, showing no hesitation in the face of his intimidation.

However, he felt he could still salvage the situation and snorted coldly, "Just a small reminder, pointing a gun at my head is a life-or-death gamble."

This threat-laden statement instantly made Lu Xiang’s expression change since she almost laughed at "Mr. Rat."

Lu Xiang knew why "Mr. Rat" had successfully escaped from prison and why his bounty had soared. This man was purely unlucky, mistaken by Song Lan as a good buddy. The thirty million plus bounty was supposed to be on Song Lan; "Mr. Rat" had just unfortunately taken the blame for him.

And the real "Mr. Rat" was still the coward who would almost wet his pants at the sight of a Gatling gun.

So, the scene before her appeared as if a powerless little bunny was blustering at her, "Don’t provoke me, I can be very ferocious."

Unfortunately, "Mr. Rat" clearly didn’t understand the situation, thinking his threat had taken effect, so he pressed on, "Haven’t you noticed that you’ve brought in a special operations team? Aren’t you afraid our confrontation would result in their complete annihilation?"

"Then what exactly do you plan to do?"

"Exactly... Don’t rush me, let me think."

"Mr. Rat" hadn’t expected Lu Xiang to ask such a direct and soul-searching question. He was stuck, aware only from "settings" that criminals with a thirty million bounty usually had the power to destroy a city, but he really hadn’t thought about how to actually destroy a city.

Lu Xiang wasn’t in a hurry, giving "Mr. Rat" a minute to come up with his abilities.

Once he collected his thoughts, he sneered, "Haven’t you realized? There’s enough explosives buried under this town to blow it sky-high!"

He finally found his place.

Rumors had it that he was the one who had blown the conference venue in District Seventeen sky-high, and many of the prisoners in the suburban jail regarded him as the most terrifying bomber in the history of District Seventeen. After joining the Esinvig Army, he naturally became the most fearsome mad bomber within the Rebel Army!

Explosions were his style of combat!

"Where’s the remote?"

"What remote?"

"The remote to detonate these bombs, where did you hide it?"

...

Another tricky question plunged the "Little Devil" back into silence.

In the end, under the suspicious gazes of Lu Xiang and Song Lan, he begrudgingly took out his cell phone, opened the built-in timer app, and with what he believed was a stealthy method, set a 30-minute countdown, "Look, less than thirty minutes remain before the explosion. If you don’t want this little town to be swallowed by a sea of fire, then go ahead and try to find the bombs!"

"But this is a timer."

The sharp-eyed Lu Xiang exposed the "Little Devil’s" clumsy tactic.

"Timer? What timer? I have no idea what you’re talking about!"

"I saw it; you just set this 30-minute countdown yourself."

"...Utter nonsense!"

"Then do you dare to exit the program in front of me?"

Faced with Lu Xiang’s relentless questioning that hit home, the "Little Devil’s" face grew darker and darker.

He was truly his destined adversary, seeing through his tricks at a glance!

With no retreat, he could only say defiantly, "Hmph, you’ve won this time, but there won’t be a next time."

"Of course, there won’t be a next time."

Lu Xiang agreed with the "Little Devil’s" statement with a slight smile, "Because you’ll soon be sent back to The First Region, where the Review Meeting will conduct a direct trial on you."

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"None."

Lu Xiang’s outright refusal clenched the "Little Devil’s" fists tighter. He was well aware that despite the unexpected 30 million watt bounty on his head, the Review Meeting excelled at condemning people through unclear charges. Once sent back to The First Region, his death was certain.

Thus, in a desperate situation, he unleashed an amazing potential, his right hand pointing towards the door, "Look, there’s the popular actress Maria!"

He wouldn’t let go of this hard-won opportunity, hurling his packed luggage as a weapon at Lu Xiang and sprinting with all his might towards the door.

However, the moment he took his first step, his feet gave way beneath him, causing him to fall flat on his back.

"That trick won’t work on me."

Lu Xiang looked down from her superior position upon the "Little Devil", who lay on the floor. She would never be defeated by the same move twice, "Neither the popular actress Maria, the dry pot potatoes, the small fire simmered beef, spicy pig’s ear, nor the sweet and sour ribs have any effect on me."
