Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 996

Chapter 996: Chapter 400 Multiple Crises_2 Chapter 996: Chapter 400 Multiple Crises_2 Yan Fei had some doubts about this matter at the time, and it was only later, through the intelligence gathered by “Dream,” that he slowly uncovered the conspiracy within. The leader of the research institute was very close to Yang Liu, so when Yang Liu approached him, the leader used his private power to fully support Yang Liu, arranging for the incapacitated Yang Qi to go to The United States of America for academic exchange, and then immediately kicked him when he was down after Yang Qi's mishap.

Yang Liu had two purposes in doing this. The first was to send Yang Qi, the scientific genius, to The United States of America to serve their research institutions, and then to pray that the US would let him share in the scientific and technological achievements when Yang Qi made them, to achieve rapid growth for the Yang Corporation; the second purpose was to use Yang Qi to lure Yan Fei to The United States of America, then have the US kill Yan Fei and take over everything on Dream Island.

Others might not know the extent of the relationship between Yang Qi and Yan Fei, but Yang Liu, being a local snake in China with very informed sources, naturally knew the true relationship between Yan Fei and Yang Qi. That's why he thought of using Yang Qi to lure Yan Fei to The United States of America and then to eliminate Yan Fei, to avenge his son Yang Song.

This plan nearly killed Yang Qi and put Yan Fei into great danger, so after finding out that Yang Liu had orchestrated this, Yan Fei's hatred for Yang Liu was bone-deep. However, Yang Liu just wouldn't leave China, and Yan Fei had been warned by China not to act within its borders, so he could only watch Yang Liu live comfortably in China.

This time, under Yang Qing's instigation, Yang Liu even decided to participate in the assassination of Yan Fei. If it weren't for “Dream's” powerful capabilities, Yan Fei would have had no chance of discovering this plot against him, and he might have been killed without even knowing. With Yan Fei's fall, Dream Island would crumble, and Yang Liu and his Yang Corporation would definitely pounce, biting off several chunks of fat from Dream Island's body.

In light of Yang Liu's unrepentant behavior and multiple attacks against him and Dream Island, Yan Fei decided to disregard China's warnings and aimed to kill Yang Liu in the shortest possible time, not giving him any further chance to plot against him. Even if Yang Liu didn't leave China, Yan Fei would not let him go.

Yang Liu had sensed danger before, so his security was very tight, with round-the-clock protection. To be cautious, he didn't travel far, didn't even leave downtown, let alone venture into the wilderness. So even if Yan Fei wanted to deploy the Mechanical Sparrow to launch an attack and induce cardiac paralysis in Yang Liu, there was no opportunity.

The Mechanical Sparrow's attack had to be within one meter of the target for its Ice Needle to pierce human skin and administer the medicine into the body. But since the Mechanical Sparrow, despite its small size, could not get within one meter of Yang Liu under the 24-hour tight protection of his bodyguards, it couldn't enter the effective attack range and thus could not stealthily kill Yang Liu.

So even if Yan Fei was intent on killing, doing away with Yang Liu was not an easy task. Unless Yan Fei acted recklessly and killed Yang Liu directly. But that would offend China and cause unnecessary disputes.

Besides, Yan Fei also noticed the four god-level experts that Yang Qing mentioned. At the time, Yang Qing invented an assassination squad to convince the Sun Family to join, including the leader of the Assassin Sect Old Man of the Mountains Huo Shan, a lieutenant colonel from Japan, Tripitaka from the US CIA, and Beast.

Yan Fei had already encountered Old Man of the Mountains Huo Shan and Tripitaka and knew of their prowess. Relatively speaking, the lieutenant colonel from Japan and Beast from The United States of America were somewhat unfamiliar to Yan Fei. However, with the all-powerful Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” once “Dream” conducted extensive searches on the Internet, Yan Fei immediately obtained information about the lieutenant colonel and Beast.

But the data on the lieutenant colonel and Beast was very scarce, with only fragments scattered across the entire Internet, incomplete and tenuous, giving Yan Fei no grasp on specific intelligence about them. If it weren't for “Dream's” exceptional abilities, collecting even these fragments would've been impossible.

From the information, Yan Fei found that the lieutenant colonel from Japan was extremely mysterious, as no one even knew the lieutenant colonel's gender, could remember their appearance, or knew when the lieutenant colonel first appeared in Japan. But there was a consensus that the lieutenant colonel was a god-level expert.

The Lieutenant Colonel was extremely low-key in his interactions with the world, rarely showing his face. However, in the recent decades, whenever there were significant upheavals in the political arena of Japan, the Lieutenant Colonel would emerge at the critical moments. Through his own strength, he would turn the tide and guide Japan's political scene back onto the right path, only to vanish once again, leaving no one with any clue to his whereabouts.

Another God-Level Expert, the Beast, was equally mysterious, with no one knowing the ins and outs of his story. However, from the incomplete information collected by “Dream”, it could be vaguely discerned that the Beast was originally an ordinary soldier in the US Forces. Due to unknown reasons, his body had mutated, developing beast-like features on the surface.

This physical transformation into beastliness fundamentally altered the Beast's personality, and out of shame, he went into hiding. Yet, this misfortune turned into a blessing as the beastly metamorphosis led to a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth. By a stroke of luck, he breached the God-level Door and became a God-Level Expert. However, despite the data obtained by Yan Fei indicating the Beast's formidable nature, there were no official records of his engagements, resulting in lack of knowledge about his appearance and true strength.

Even with “Dream's” high efficiency in gathering intelligence, the information on Japan's Lieutenant Colonel and the Beast from The United States of America was very limited and often incomplete. But even this scant data was sufficient to make Yan Fei more vigilant of them. For they were all God-Level Experts, and all God-Level Experts were difficult to deal with, no matter how weak they might be.

What surprised Yan Fei the most was the current state of Tripitaka. From what Yang Qing said, Yan Fei learned that Tripitaka had fallen into a coma after being dug out from underground, which he found very odd. Previously, Duan Hongye had come to assassinate Yan Fei, triggering a trap that Yan Fei had set, causing her to be buried deep underground. However, Duan Hongye had not lost her ability to move but had swiftly navigated through the subterranean depths, emerging from a hundred meters below the surface as if the tons of rock pressing down on her weighed nothing.

In comparison to Duan Hongye, Tripitaka was clearly stronger, so it was impossible for him to lose his mobility or fall into a coma simply from being buried underground. Previously, during a fierce confrontation in the underground tunnels of Las Vegas, Yan Fei had buried Tripitaka underground, but Tripitaka swiftly broke free, demonstrating his formidable strength. With this precedent, it was inconceivable for Tripitaka to remain in a coma due to being buried.

Yet the inconceivable had happened, Tripitaka was unconscious, leaving Yan Fei puzzled. But soon enough, he came to terms with the situation, as Tripitaka was his enemy, and his coma was advantageous to Yan Fei. If possible, Yan Fei hoped that all his enemies would fall into comas, which would spare him many troubles. Without fighting, he could still achieve ultimate victory.

As for the Old Man of the Mountains, Huo Shan, Yan Fei dared not forget him. The encounter in the Middle East left an unforgettable and profound impression on Yan Fei. Just the thought of Huo Shan's terror at that time sent shivers down Yan Fei's spine. It was through Huo Shan that Yan Fei realized just how vast the gap in strength between himself and a God-Level Expert truly was.

However, Huo Shan had gone into hiding for almost three years to date, with no one managing to find any trace of him. No one knew the state of his injuries, where he was, or what his next plans might be.

It was precisely because of the unknown that Yan Fei harbored unease. If his conflict with Tripitaka was simply due to different stances, forcing them to be adversaries, then his enmity with Huo Shan was deep-rooted and significant. As the indirect party responsible for the decimation of the Assassin Sect, Huo Shan would certainly seek revenge on Yan Fei if he could not find the Destroyer. Huo Shan, being the king of assassinations, if he made a move, it would indeed be earth-shattering. With his current level of strength, Yan Fei would be killed before even harboring a thought to dodge.

Yan Fei felt the increasing crises and, thus, for the sake of his personal security, would place great importance on information regarding Huo Shan, the Lieutenant Colonel, Tripitaka, and the Beast, the four God-Level Experts, in prevention of their potential assassination attempts.

The reasons Yang Qing had fabricated to lure the Sun Family into the Assassination Squad might have been made up, but the rationale behind them made sense. It couldn't be guaranteed that others wouldn't have similar thoughts. Should someone use these reasons to form another Assassination Squad against him, Yan Fei would truly be in trouble.
