Chapter 468: Gentlemen seek revenge without delay! Mutation Shows Might (4K votes for monthly ticket, please recommend)
Right before Ghost Mountain Market went into full lockdown, the cruise ship carrying Pei Jinye had already set sail.
Pei Jinye looked back, perhaps sensing something amiss.
At the same time.
At the port, a middle-aged man with his left eye covered by a black eye patch frowned slightly as he watched the cruise ship depart, “Go and intercept it for me.”
“Sir, that ship has already left the territory of Ghost Mountain Market, we may not have the authority to act,” his subordinate hesitated.
However, the one-eyed man simply gave him a glance without any expression.
The man’s scalp tingled, and after bowing with his hands clasped, he left to carry out the order.
But it wasn’t long before news came.
“They refused to dock,”
The one-eyed man asked in silence, “Whose ship?”
“It belongs to Sky God International, sir,”
The one-eyed man turned around with a cold face and didn’t say another word.
He was well aware that dealing with a big company like Sky God International was the most troublesome.
“List all the people who followed the light column last night and pay them a visit one by one.”
“Yes, sir.”
…
Following the lockdown of Ghost Mountain Market, electronic eyes emitted a red glow.
At the same time.
In the backend data of Xing Tian, the likelihood of Pei Jinye’s death surged from 98% to 99%, but quickly slid back down to 98%, fluctuating repeatedly.
…
…
Pei Jinye himself probably hadn’t imagined that he could one day cause the AI Xing Tian to fall into self-doubt.
Sensing the space capture particles secretly deployed in Ghost Mountain Market, he decided to abandon the idea of using Flash Escape; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered boarding a ship—such a nuisance.
He could guess why the Central Continent was so concerned.
But he felt more disappointment than anything else.
Unable to receive any assistance from the Central Continent during his predicament, and after death, a multitude of methods came forth.
“It seems being too high-profile does have its downsides, after all.”
After devouring members of the Holy Alliance, Pei Jinye also learned some inside information.
A member of the Cui Family with the surname Cui from Central Continent was at the brink of his life, with his end near. To secure the Cui Family from reprisals after his death, he orchestrated a scheme to bait and assassinate his enemies.
And Pei Jinye was unfortunately used as the bait.
“Cui Min…” Pei Jinye looked up and sighed lightly.
He hadn’t intended to stir up trouble.
But, unfortunately…
“I have always distinguished between gratitude and grudges clearly.”
As Pei Jinye arrived in Savage Mountain City, he confirmed his direction and soon blended into the crowd.
…
At the same time.
Investigation Base of Da Peng City.
Minister Gao was watering the plants at the window in confusion, muttering to himself.
“He’s dead?”
On the other side, Ms. Xu Jing was equally perplexed, “Are you joking with me? That kid is like an indestructible Xiao Qiang. He managed to escape from the Western Continent unscathed, which shows he wouldn’t run into trouble so easily.”
“The authorities from Central State have basically confirmed the fact; the enemy activated the Demon Bone, causing massive damage, and he was targeted,” the man said with a sigh, “I thought this kid might one day rise to the position of one of the Three Giants of the Central Continent, it’s a pity.”
“Did they find the body?” Ms. Xu Jing cut to the chase.
“Not that… but there were hardly any intact bodies at the scene,” the man paused.
Ms. Xu Jing wasn’t convinced, “What does the top say? Have they confirmed his death?”
“Eh… Subject to the status of missing, they are still expanding the search,” the man said helplessly. “Do you really think he’s not dead?”
“I don’t know, it’s a lovely blessing,” Ms. Xu Jing lowered her eyes.
The man sighed softly, “I heard his family wasn’t doing well in the past, and just as they started to live a better life, this happened…”
“What was he doing in Savage Mountain City?” Ms. Xu Jing suddenly frowned, “Was he carrying out another secret mission from that person?”
The man hurriedly tried to pacify her upon seeing her anger.
But Ms. Xu Jing’s tone quickly returned to calm, yet those familiar with her could tell she was displeased.
“I’m puzzled, there are so many elites in Central State who don’t get used, why does it have to be him? Is there a story here?”
“Sis, I think you better not ask,” the man said with a wry smile.
“So there is something going on?” Ms. Xu Jing raised an eyebrow.
The man shook his head, “I don’t know the specifics of it either, I just heard that the person at the top also did this because of Pei’s performance in the Western Continent. They hoped he could replicate another miracle, but unfortunately…”
Ms. Xu Jing’s expressionless face let out two words.
The man hurriedly said, “Sis, you shouldn’t say that.”
“Scared of what?” Ms. Xu Jing snorted contemptuously.
The man could only sigh.
…
The base canteen.
Zhou Ye looked around as Brother Bi knocked on the back of his head, “What are you looking at?”
Zhou Ye touched his head in pain, “I didn’t wash my hair.”
Caught off guard, Brother Bi stared at the spoon he was holding, “Chaotically, you’re gutsy.”
He then switched to a new one.
“Brother Bi, has Old Pei contacted you?” Zhou Ye asked suspiciously, “I was still thinking of inviting him for a late-night snack last night.”
“Probably busy with the special forces again,” Brother Bi replied as if it were nothing new.
Zhou Ye murmured, “But the special forces didn’t have any operations last night.”
As they were speaking.
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from outside the canteen.
Zhou Ye and Brother Bi leaned over the window and looked down, “What’s going on?”
Others also got up to look.
“It looks like people from Central Continent Headquarters…”
“What’s the rush for them to come here?”
“Must be a major incident.”
Brother Bi and Zhou Ye exchanged glances, both feeling an inexplicable tension.
“I have a premonition something big is about to happen.”
“When was the last time the people from headquarters came so suddenly?” Brother Bi suddenly turned his head to ask.
