Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Holding Grudges

Linjiang City.

The largest city in Chicken Snake Country, as well as the most bustling commercial trade center, it was also the stronghold of the conservative faction.

Although it had been attacked by the New Liberation Front, relying on the Six-faced God Mountain and the turbulent Linjiang, coupled with a main force of as many as 4,000 people standing guard, Linjiang City had still managed to maintain the same daily life as before the outbreak of the civil war. The trade with other countries south of East Continent had not been interrupted either.

The radicals also maintained a tacit understanding with the conservatives and didn’t cause trouble at this critical juncture, instead continuously attacking the territories controlled by the New Liberation Front from the rear.

After all, for them, the New Liberation Front was their common enemy.

Tea house, second floor, VIP room.

Ruan Yu, dressed in a white business suit, arms crossed, looked at the tall East Continent man sitting across the table, drinking Tieguanyin tea through a straw.

The man was about one ninety meters tall, dressed in a tattered black jacket, with long black hair, handsome in appearance, and solemn in expression.

He tossed the dossier of Wei Tianyang that Ruan Yu had passed to him onto the table and said coldly, "Is this it?"

"Rainman died at his hands, and they haven’t even found the body yet," Ruan Yu reminded.

"When she first came here, I got in touch with her. I invited her to come over to my place to hang out, but she called me a pervert," the man said coldly.

"I wouldn’t come to seek help from someone like you who was dismissed and wanted by your former unit unless it was absolutely necessary. So... you’d better really be skilled. What’s your superpower again?" Ruan Yu asked.

"My former code name was ’Iron King,’" the man replied.

As he spoke, he looked at the iron bolt on the window. The screws fastened on that bolt began to turn, and then the whole bolt floated in mid-air.

Ruan Yu revealed a smile, but it wasn’t over yet.

The bolt in the air gradually changed shape, turning into a gray iron ball the size of a ping-pong ball. Iron King frowned, eyes closed in concentration, and then the iron ball changed shape again, becoming a small knife blade.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the blade shot towards the tea table, piercing through the thick wooden table and deeply embedding into the floor.

Iron King took out a neutralizer and injected it into his own neck.

Ruan Yu bent down to take a look under the table and then touched the notch on the table surface, asking, "How much iron can you control?"

"The largest doesn’t exceed a Hummer, but the denser and higher the quality of an iron mass, the more difficult it is to change its shape. The flying speed would also slow down," said Iron King.

"Your ability is very suitable for assassination and control. Why did the Superpower Special Department of Tiantai Pharmaceutical dismiss you?" Ruan Yu inquired.

"The commander’s wife took the initiative with me..." said Iron King.

Ruan Yu didn’t speak, leaning back in her chair.

"You are seeking help on behalf of yourself, not Tiantai Pharmaceutical, right?" Iron King asked.

Ruan Yu nodded and said, "If you can kill Wei Tianyang, I can provide you with neutralizers..."

"Besides that?" Iron King asked.

"Don’t push your luck," Ruan Yu said.

Iron King shook his head and said, "I want to understand you better."

Ruan Yu laughed out loud.

"Considering Rainman is dead, I think this mission isn’t so simple," Iron King added.

"Don’t negotiate with me, will you do it or not?" Ruan Yu said coldly.

"Deal," Iron King revealed a smile and said.

Kongse, 10 a.m.

After a night of rushing, Guo Kaichen finally made it back to the refugee camp on foot.

Lin Yanqing had just finished checking on the burn victim’s condition and came out of the sterile tent, bumping into someone at the entrance.

Guo Kaichen was concerned about the refugees he had encountered on the road yesterday. They should have arrived in the city by dawn today and should now all be settled in the refugee camp, so he took the initiative to ask Lin Yanqing about them.

"Those people..." Lin Yanqing’s face darkened.

Just by looking at her expression, Guo Kaichen knew that things hadn’t ended well for the group of refugees.

"So many people... You mean not a single one was seen?" he asked.

"They..." Lin Yanqing found it hard to speak.

"Could they have been intercepted by other official troops on the road?!" Guo Kaichen exclaimed angrily.

"No... They’re dead," Lin Yanqing said.

"Here?!" Guo Kaichen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Yanqing didn’t say a word.

"Who did it?!!" he demanded urgently.

"Let’s drop it! We’ve got pressing matters to handle!" Lin Yanqing said sternly.

"Who did it?! Tell me, who? What did these refugees do to them? Why must they cling to them so persistently!" Guo Kaichen trembled, overwhelmed by rage.

"It was Wei Tianyang who did it, but we can’t touch him. The United Council’s war observer Li Songyan came last night, and he needs Wei Tianyang as a witness. The man is now in the refugee camp, I’ve already sent him a wristband," Lin Yanqing said.

Guo Kaichen took off his backpack and turned to leave.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Lin Yanqing grabbed him.

"I’m going to slaughter him!!" Guo Kaichen shouted angrily.

"Comrade Guo Kaichen!" Lin Yanqing yelled.

"Even if he’s a devil, he’s the key witness in legally taking down Tiantai Pharmaceutical! A small patience is essential to the grand scheme of things! Don’t you understand that?!" Lin Yanqing said in fury.

"Sister Lin! Do you really believe he’ll testify in court? And even if he does, do you really think we can defeat Tiantai Pharmaceutical in court? I don’t care about legality, I only know that scum like Wei Tianyang, if left alive, will only cause more innocent deaths!" Guo Kaichen raged.

After speaking, he yelled into the interior of the refugee camp, "Wei Tianyang! You fucker listen to me! Come out now, and I’ll give you a swift end!"

"Guo Kaichen!!! Keep this up, and I’ll have to report you to our superiors!" Lin Yanqing said in a low voice.

"Sister Lin... I really... I truly feel that Wei Tianyang cannot be left alive! I’ve seen too many young offenders his age back home... each one vicious and malevolent, acting as they please, completely lawless! And Wei Tianyang even has superpowers... If left unchecked, he’s sure to become a calamity for humanity!" Guo Kaichen said.

Lin Yanqing looked at Guo Kaichen, her resolve wavering.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Burn him to ashes, and do it cleanly!"

Guo Kaichen nodded vigorously.

Lin Yanqing then led Guo Kaichen to the prefabricated house arranged for Wei Tianyang, but as soon as they reached the door, Lin Yanqing felt something was amiss.

"Something’s wrong! He never came in!!" she exclaimed, surprised.

Lin Yanqing quickly opened the door to find the room empty, the bed untouched.

Guo Kaichen slapped his forehead, grinding his teeth in frustration.

"Over here!" Lin Yanqing said.

The two of them hurried over to the courtyard where they had met Wei Tianyang the night before. It was empty, with a few empty mineral water bottles still on the long tables.

Lin Yanqing almost immediately spotted the crushed wristband on the ground. She walked over, picked it up, her fists whitening as she clenched them.

"Sister Lin, I’m going to check behind the plantation. He must have gone there," Guo Kaichen said.
