Chapter 364: Quite a Temper
"Boom!!!"
A massive blaze illuminated the entire world in an instant!
It was like countless fireworks blooming all at once, lighting up the entire area within several hundred meters around the cultural center, as bright as day!
Ye Feng, and even the people of Sakula Country, all perished here in a single moment!
Lin Tian stared blankly at the brightest part of the flames.
Tears filled his tiger-like eyes, and this moment felt so bitter!
At least fifty percent of the security personnel of Sakula Country perished in this explosion!
This should have been a cause for happiness, yet Lin Tian couldn’t feel happy at all!
Because Ye Feng was dead!
This brother, who he had fought with and shared life and death, was dead!
Their acquaintance might not have lasted a week, but the bond of brotherhood they shared was undeniable!
"Feng..." Lin Tian murmured softly to himself.
His feelings at that moment were complicated, unable to express what he felt.
"Rest assured, I will not let you down!"
Lin Tian’s tone was full of determination.
His father, and Bloodfang, Lin Tian would leave none behind, and would strive to accomplish everything!
Because this was Ye Feng’s last wish!
"Let’s go back!" Despite his desire to save Ye Feng, Ye Feng’s death was inevitable, and Lin Tian simply gave up.
Moreover, if both of them drove openly over there now, should they get tangled up with the security personnel, it might even lead them to their deaths.
Therefore, Lin Tian no longer insisted on rescuing Ye Feng, and risking Chen Moxiang was not an option; it would only lead to more self-reproach.
...
"You bastard! Slap!" Zhuoda Village slapped Kawakami’s face hard, looking at him with a glare that could eat someone: "Mr. Jin Hui, is this what you call elite?"
A dozen security personnel sent out to pursue were all killed!
These were Kawakami’s men, brought over from Sakula Country at great cost!
And now, the artifacts were lost, and these men were almost entirely wiped out!
Such a loss was unacceptable!
"I need a reasonable explanation!" Zhuoda Village restrained his almost explosive temper!
Now he was completely unable to stay calm, with all fifty artifacts lost!
Moreover, so many men had died!
This incident was destined to make him fall out of Shi Yang’s favor!
His current status would plummet completely!
"Mr. Zhuoda Village, it’s not that we didn’t try, but the opponent absolutely couldn’t be ordinary people, they might be..." Kawakami’s left cheek was burning red!
His face was full of an aggrieved expression, but he dared not express it!
"That exploding business car definitely belongs to official work, the opponent sacrificed people to explode this business car just to ensure it wouldn’t fall into our hands!"
"A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake!"
"Although the security personnel we brought were strong, it was still someone else’s territory!"
"And the opponent’s moves were unexpected; even I didn’t foresee it!"
"Kawakami, is this your explanation to me?" Zhuoda Village sneered continuously, feeling the anger burning even hotter in his chest!
"Previously, you promised me with full assurance that the venue’s security was absolutely not an issue!"
"And now, all fifty artifacts are lost!" Zhuoda Village’s face was as dark as it could be: "Then you tell me it’s not your fault, but because the officials took action, leading to this result?"
"Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"Mr. Zhuoda Village, I didn’t mean that, I..." Kawakami began to explain.
He absolutely couldn’t be confirmed guilty, otherwise, he would become the scapegoat.
"No need to say more!" But Zhuoda Village wouldn’t give Kawakami a chance to resist!
This matter had become too big, someone had to be a scapegoat!
Zhuoda Village certainly didn’t want to be that scapegoat!
So naturally, he could only choose from the people under him, and it had to be someone with a certain status!
Clearly, Jin Huifu was the best choice!
No matter his intentions, this black pot had to be carried by him!
"I’ve already reported this matter above, and Mr. Shi Yang will probably come soon!"
"Additionally, I’m giving you a week, if you can’t find out who did it, then prepare for execution!"
"By the way, please also prepare a press conference for me!"
"This matter must be blown up, otherwise, the Security Management Institute won’t provide us with cooperation!"
"Yes!" Jin Huifu left with a gloomy face.
He knew that Zhuoda Village was beginning to shift blame, and if this matter couldn’t be solved, death awaited him.
Watching Kawakami leave, Zhuoda Village wasn’t feeling any better, as Mr. Shi Yang was bound to berate him once he arrived.
Creak, the door was pushed open, and Zhuoda Village’s first reaction was that Kawakami must have come back for some reason: "Useless thing, why are you back again?"
"Hehe, quite the temper you have!" A dark figure walked in.
The figure wore a hood and a ghost-faced mask, completely obscuring their appearance.
"Mou...Mr. Shi Yang!" Seeing the familiar and terrifying ghost-faced mask, Zhuoda Village immediately stood up from his chair.
"Thunk!"
Kneeling on both knees, Zhuoda Village knelt directly in front of Shi Yang.
"You do a poor job, yet your temper isn’t small! " Shi Yang sat down where Zhuoda Village had just been seated.
"It’s my incompetence!" Zhuoda Village knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe aloud.
"I told you to look after the artifacts and lure the Security Management Institute, so what did you do?" Shi Yang fiddled with a knife in his hand: "Not only did you kill few, but the artifacts were also lost, how useless are you?"
Seeing the bright knife in Shi Yang’s hand, Zhuoda Village slapped himself repeatedly: "I’m just useless! I’m truly useless!"
Shi Yang’s arrival clearly wasn’t to hear Zhuoda Village apologize: "Speak, what happened tonight?"
"It’s like this..." Zhuoda Village recounted the events: "I suspect there were two groups tonight; one was the Bloodfang group, as we found their tattoo on several of the deceased, as for the other group, no evidence was left, but from the final exploding business car, it should undoubtedly be officials!"
"Oh?" Shi Yang’s anger slightly subsided.
The aim of bringing those artifacts was to slaughter a wave of people like harvesting crops.
But never did he expect the price would be so high, with all fifty artifacts lost.
This was Shi Yang’s oversight, as he had trusted Zhuoda Village’s assurances that not a single piece would be missing, so he hadn’t assigned anyone to keep watch. Coupled with the venue’s stringent security, with various high-tech surveillance under which even he couldn’t evade entirely, successfully stealing the items seemed impossible.
Yet who could have imagined such an outcome!
