Chapter 353: Slap in the Face
For a moment, the second floor turned into a battlefield, with the boss guarding the stairway alone, blocking all the remaining security personnel!
He emptied the bullets from his magazine, replaced it with a new one, and continued firing to obstruct the enemy’s steps!
At the same time, in a hotel surrounding the Kanyue City Cultural Center, Zhuoda Village and Jin Huifu were sitting together.
"Mr. Zhuoda Village, now that this mission is successful, what do you plan to do after returning to your country?"
"Naturally, I plan to rest for a while," Zhuoda Village answered, holding a red wine glass, wine swirling inside, his gaze fixed on the swirling liquid.
Fifty pieces of ancient artifacts from the Celestial Dragon Continent, each invaluable!
If this exhibition is successful, it will earn a fortune!
And as the host, he is bound to gain substantial rewards!
After years of laboring abroad, fatigue naturally sets in!
Therefore, upon returning to Sakula Country, the first thing Zhuoda Village plans to do is rest for a while!
Money, beautiful women, and strong liquor... since ancient times, these have been men’s favorites! He is no exception!
In this regard, there’s no difference between countries!
To drunkenly lie on a beauty’s lap and awake to grasp the power of the world is every man’s ambition!
"Mr. Zhuoda Village, may I follow by your side?" Jin Huifu inquired.
This visit to the Celestial Dragon Continent involved personnel who were temporarily assigned here!
Knowing that following Zhuoda Village would surely lead to a prosperous situation, Jin Huifu naturally harbored the thought!
"Hm?" Zhuoda Village glanced at Jin Huifu in surprise, then looked away.
People aim high, just as water flows low.
Jin Huifu wants to follow him, appreciating his elevated position and authority.
"Sure!" Zhuoda Village did not refuse; an adept subordinate, especially one like Jin Huifu with insight, is worth enlisting.
"Then I will follow Mr. Zhuoda Village after returning to the country." Jin Huifu rejoiced!
Though he has a large following of special forces members, even this group brought to the Celestial Dragon Continent is under his command, they are merely henchmen!
The real decision-maker is still the mysterious Mr. Shi Yang!
Mr. Shi Yang wouldn’t personally attend to affairs; he would have his confidants!
And Zhuoda Village is one of Mr. Shi Yang’s close ministers; otherwise, how could he be entrusted with such an important task, sent to the Celestial Dragon Continent to execute this mission?
Why would a top specialist choose to retire?
It’s to earn a lot of money and woo the most beautiful women!
Someone like Zhuoda Village is worth Jin Huifu lowering himself to please!
Therefore, he lowered his posture for a chance to follow Zhuoda Village!
"Very well." Zhuoda Village nodded, glancing at Jin Huifu: "As long as Mr. Jin Hui trusts me, I am naturally willing to have you by my side."
"I believe Kawakami will be very pleased with the decision he made!"
"Naturally!" Jin Huifu responded respectfully, his face brimming with joy.
"Mr. Jin Hui, how is the security situation at the exhibition venue?" After chatting about casual matters with Kawakami, Zhuoda Village turned to serious business.
Several hours ago, Jin Huifu had already handed over the entire exhibition venue’s monitoring rights to his subordinates.
Jin Huifu was unaware of the current situation inside the cultural center, but he responded, "Everything is normal, personnel remain loyally at their posts; I don’t think anything will happen tonight, so you can rest assured!"
"Are you certain?" Zhuoda Village asked, slightly worried: "Every day for several consecutive days, people from the Celestial Dragon Continent have come to visit our venue!"
Jin Huifu’ expression was filled with disdain and scorn as he said, "The venue is already set as a trap, coming here is akin to seeking death!"
"Kawakami, better safe than sorry?"
"If this time we can complete the mission excellently without using Mr. Shi Yang’s power, Mr. Zhuge will certainly express great appreciation for me, and your benefits will be assured!" Zhuoda Village’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Rest assured, Mr. Zhuoda Village!"
"Our country’s elite cannot be compared to these lowly creatures of the Celestial Dragon Continent!"
"Tonight will certainly go very smoothly!"
"Even if these foolish Celestial Dragon Continent people are discontented, they will never dare to barge in once they know the venue’s situation!"
"Mr. Jin Hui, let’s head to the control room to check the surveillance together." Zhuoda Village still wasn’t quite at ease, stood up, and walked toward the control room.
Zhuoda Village led, with Jin Huifu closely following!
"Ring ring ring... Bang bang bang..." Just as the two of them were heading to the control room, alarm sounds and gunfire erupted simultaneously!
"What happened?!" Zhuoda Village’s expression changed drastically; they had just said everything was normal, and in an instant, they were contradicted?
"Something’s happened!" Kawakami was stunned; moments ago, he was supremely confident that these Celestial Dragon Continent people wouldn’t dare to come!
Yet in the next second, alarms and gunshots were blaring!
This face-slapping was so loud he couldn’t quite accept it!
"Damn Celestial Dragon Continent people, how dare they come courting death!"
Kawakami said, quickening his pace towards the control room!
"Damn it!" Zhuoda Village also cursed, swiftly following behind!
But the current situation was completely different from what they had imagined, equivalent to a slap in the face, how could they maintain a good expression?
The two hurried towards the control room...
Inside the venue, a fierce gunfight was happening on the second floor, yet Lin Tian had not moved from the start.
Once he confirmed all security personnel had left the first floor, he decisively snuck into the fifth zone!
At that moment, the entire fifth zone resembled prey laid out before a hunter, allowing him to take at will!
Lin Tian observed the situation on the second floor, noticing the gunfight was nearing its end.
And he had only acquired three artifacts!
There were still seven artifacts left to be extracted!
He wanted to proceed, but unfortunately, the group of intruders on the second floor had already come down!
At that moment, the location on the second floor and the stairway was littered with security personnel from the exhibition venue!
"No choice but to retreat!"
Though reluctant, Lin Tian could only choose to withdraw!
He could feel a persistent sense of weakness creeping into his body!
Should he delay further, who knows what might happen!
This situation was beyond Lin Tian’s control and not what he wanted to witness, so naturally, he had to retreat!
However, he did not leave immediately; instead, he chose to stay hidden in a corner!
Despite being physically drained, he continued using his X-ray vision ability!
Monitoring the personnel in the chaotic fight and those reinforcing around him.
He still wanted to wait and see if an opportunity presented itself!
There were seven artifacts left. If he could at least secure two or three more, he would be content!
Amid chaos, strive for maximum gain!
This was Lin Tian’s current thought!
