I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 301 - 218: Eliminate the Roots

Chapter 301: Chapter 218: Eliminate the Roots

Before deciding to interrogate,

Bai Shi seemed to remember something.

He hurried to the side of the assassin killed by the Jade Sword and shot the uniquely shaped wound on the assassin’s forehead,

completely destroying the trace left by the Jade Sword.

Having done this,

he confidently took out a bunch of tools and began the interrogation of the man on the chair.

First, he needed to wake the man up.

Bai Shi took a small sprayer from his pocket, filled with a specially made stimulant liquid, designed to awaken those unconscious.

He carefully aimed it at the face of the comatose assassin and gently sprayed.

In a few seconds, the man’s eyelids began to tremble, then suddenly opened wide, his eyes full of terror and confusion.

His consciousness was still stuck in the last moment.

He had seen the Jade Sword flying up into the sky, and under the intense mental pressure combined with the chemical effects of the truth serum he’d been injected with earlier, he had passed out.

Thus, the moment he opened his eyes, he started looking around excitedly.

However, he was tied up and fixed to a bench, which limited the movement of his neck, so he couldn’t see anything.

He wanted to scream.

But the cloth stuffed in his mouth muffled his sounds.

Seeing this, Bai Shi took out a larger dose of truth serum and injected it directly into the dazed man.

He didn’t care about the man’s life or death.

He just wanted to quickly know the relevant information about potentially being hired by a drug lord, as well as the details about his assassin organization.

After the injection,

watching the man’s eyes become hazy, a gleam flickered in Bai Shi’s eyes.

"Now, let’s start over."

"Your name, your organization, and most importantly, who hired you for this mission?"

Bai Shi’s voice was cold and calm, devoid of any unnecessary emotion.

The man’s eyes were bewildered, but the effects of the truth serum began to show, as he couldn’t resist spilling the truth.

His lips moved slightly. His initial words were unclear, but soon, information poured out like a dam had broken.

"My name is Jackson, from the ’Shadow Blade’ organization. We take all sorts of assassination orders, this time, it was... it was a drug dealer from the Golden Triangle who placed the order. He said a guy stole a few hundred million US dollars from him and lost a bunch of his goods, said he needed to be taken out..."

Bai Shi carefully noted every detail while nodding subtly.

It looked just like Nick Horton had suspected, it was the work of a drug lord.

After pondering for a while, Bai Shi continued to ask, "Where exactly is this drug lord? And how did he contact you?"

Jackson’s eyes were hollow as if pulled by invisible strings, he replied without reserve, "He contacted us through a third-party broker, I only know he’s a drug lord from the Golden Triangle, who exactly... I’m not sure."

"Give me the information about that broker."

Bai Shi persisted in questioning.

A broker refers to those who facilitate transactions for others, earning commission by introducing sales, promoting deals in business activities, real estate, goods trading, securities trading, and more, acting as intermediaries.

Through that broker, there was a good chance to find out the relevant information about the drug lord.

As for whether the broker would sell the information, that would be a concern for later.

Jackson seemed even more bewildered, his voice low and mechanical, "The broker is known as Black Crow, he is..."

Jackson provided a lot of information.

Not much of it was useful, clearly, he was just a low-level assassin, not privy to further details.

But the mere mention of this "Black Crow" was enough.

Bai Shi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

He had heard of this person, who seemed to have some reputation in the field of third-party brokers, although he had never dealt with him personally.

But by reaching out to some old friends for help, there might be a chance to locate that broker.

Regarding connections, he was not lacking.

"Do your people in Shadow Blade have any other missions? Any major operations planned?"

Bai Shi wanted to figure out how to find the drug lord and then started inquiring about information regarding the assassin organization.

He intended to eradicate them thoroughly.

Not just the drug lord, the employer, but also Shadow Blade, the tool they used, needed to be dealt with.

However, he didn’t expect to get too much information from this Jackson in front of him.

He had heard about the Shadow Blade organization before.

Likewise, by reaching out to some old friends for help, he should be able to learn relevant information.

"There’s another... about disrupting an important international conference, the plan is still in the preparation stage. I don’t have access to the specific details due to my clearance level..."

Jackson roughly gave some information.

But it wasn’t very useful.

Bai Shi heard this and asked some more questions he wanted to clarify.

By the time the interrogation ended, Jackson had completely collapsed and fell unconscious again.

Bai Shi organized all the information, his mind already mapping out the next steps.

He couldn’t help but delve into a series of deep thoughts: how to turn this intelligence into effective actions, how to dismantle this complex criminal network, and how to directly attack the core of their operations...

All required meticulous planning.

Thinking.

Believing Jackson no longer had any value, he raised his handgun, aimed at Jackson’s head, and decisively pulled the trigger, utterly efficient.

The purpose of keeping him alive was to extract information.

Now that all the information had been gleaned, it was time to take care of this loose end.

Having done this,

Bai Shi suddenly heard a slight coughing from Nick Horton’s room.

Upon his arrival,

Nick Horton, whom he had treated medically, was slowly getting up from the bed.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Ha, I think I must’ve cracked a few ribs."

Nick Horton looked at Bai Shi walking in, and seeing his own well-applied medical care,

immediately understood that Bai Shi had won.

Thus, he spoke with a hint of a smile,

"You pulled it off, huh? Managed to turn the tables in that situation?"

"How did you do it?"

Nick Horton gazed at Bai Shi and started to tease.

He vaguely remembered what had happened before he passed out, something about a third enemy appearing at the door, immediately taken down with a shot.

Bai Shi had also turned his back to the enemy at that time.

It was truly lucky to survive in such circumstances.

"Dodge, aim, shoot."

Bai Shi pondered for a moment, but did not reveal the real situation.

Brother Yun had saved him; how could he betray Brother Yun so easily?

Chen Yun had never revealed his identity as a Sword Immortal, clearly preferring to keep it hidden.

Therefore, Bai Shi naturally had no intention of spouting anything carelessly.

"Just that simple?"

Nick Horton looked utterly confused.

At this moment, Bai Shi seemed especially...pretentious?

And the worst part was, it seemed like he was really being fooled by the guy in front of him.

"Yes, just that simple."

"You’ve been slacking off on your training on the island, but I haven’t."

Bai Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

It was almost like saying Nick Horton almost died belly-up with a woman.

That was the consequence of neglecting his training.

Upon hearing this.

Nick Horton immediately started to change the subject with a smile, "How did the interrogation go?"

"It was indeed your mess, a Drug Lord from the Golden Triangle; you know which one, right?"

"As for the assassin organization, it’s Shadow Blade."

Bai Shi spoke seriously, his expression carrying a chill.

He even passed his notebook, in which he recorded information, to Nick Horton on the bed.

"I see..."

"Actually, I really don’t know whose merchandise I intercepted originally. I intercepted their shipment in Lighthouse Country, had no idea who they were back in their homeland."

"What’s your plan?"

Nick Horton took the notebook and pondered for a moment, then asked seriously.

"After the May Day holidays, eliminate them root and branch!"

Bai Shi spoke with an unusually decisive and icy tone.

He didn’t ask for Nick Horton’s opinion, because he knew Nick Horton would think the same.

"Great! Then I’ll go out and do some recon on Black Crow and Shadow Blade these next few days!"

"This is going to be more thrilling than robbing the British Museum."

Nick Horton said with a laugh.

Of course, he wasn’t just after the thrill.

There was also a bit of a desire for revenge.

This bullet wound wasn’t something to be dismissed lightly.

··························

While Bai Shi was busy.

At this moment.

Chen Yun’s consciousness was still here and hadn’t left.

Projecting his mind, reaching thousands of miles.

Such an operation was no more difficult for him now than eating and drinking.

Gazing calmly at Bai Shi an the chaotic scene, Chen Yun felt no disturbance in his heart as he easily dealt with the formidable assassin.

His own consciousness was here, and the person on the other side wasn’t aware of it at all; this wasn’t even a battle.

No, it didn’t qualify as a battle.

It was completely a one-sided merciless slaughter.

No more difficult than crushing an ant with bare hands.

Even though this was a formidable assassin procured by a Drug Lord from somewhere, making Bai Shi, an international thief, almost falter.

But...

For Chen Yun, it was just so.

A guy with a mere handgun, what was there to fear?

He had even sunk a submarine.

So, this minor incident hardly stirred him.

Honestly.

The decision to intervene didn’t take him long.

He was not saintly, but neither was he unfeeling.

Ordinary people’s various separations and deaths—he usually decided on a whim whether to do something about them.

He might help, or he might not.

After all, he wasn’t the same anymore, and his feelings towards life and death weren’t as poignant.

But this incident involved a friend he respected.

Since he had once given the Jade Sword.

It symbolized a promise of friendship.

Thus, when it was time to help, he did not hesitate.

The Jade Sword instantly shot out.

Nailing the assassin right on the forehead.

The Telekinesis, not strong during soul emergence, couldn’t completely penetrate the assassin with the Jade Sword.

But the following Killing Intent, even weakened a hundredfold, was still deadly enough to kill.

The formidable assassin didn’t even understand how he died—he simply lost his life on the spot.

Watching Bai Shi, completely unaware of Chen Yun’s consciousness being here, Chen Yun silently sensed his good friend’s emotions at the moment.

Ensuring that Bai Shi had no intention of spilling the beans.

Although he had helped,

If Bai Shi harbored any undesirable thoughts because of it, Chen Yun wouldn’t show mercy.

After confirming the result, Chen Yun, satisfied, lightly influenced Bai Shi with his Emotion Stimulation ability, completely eliminating the possibility of him divulging today’s events.

Only then did he withdraw his consciousness.

Chen Yun’s consciousness returned to Jiangnan Province, thousands of miles away, and he resumed his own tasks.

To Bai Shi, all these events were harrowing.

But to him, it felt like just stepping out to throw away the trash.
