Chapter 1196: You Have to Believe Me! Believe Me! (Bonus Chapter)
Craig could hardly believe his eyes!
Foreigners had attacked?
They'd bombed the Fish Country palace with precision strikes?
Before Craig could even react, right after the water blade!
A stone goon suddenly coalesced from the dirt beneath his feet...
Its full-force blow smashed straight toward Craig's chest!
"Clang!"
With a dull thud, the stone goon's arm was blown apart by the powerful rebound force!
Yet Craig stood unfazed!
(◞‾́～‾́)҉̛٩(ಠyiಠꐦ)
Jackman's pupils contracted sharply!
Why was it Craig? Where was Jiangnan?
Craig's eyes blazed with fury: "What do you think you're doing?"
"A bunch of petty scoundrels, daring to tweak the tiger's whiskers?"
"Half-Beast Transform • Mantis Shrimp Pistol Shrimp!"
In that instant, Craig's skin turned into bright, iridescent green carapace!
Even his cheeks were protected by shrimp shell armor!
His limbs became blood-red, and his fists didn't turn into shrimp claws—
Instead, they became jointed carapace hands, like mechanical palms!
One hand clenched into a fist and punched out instantly!
The speed was so extreme that Craig's entire arm left afterimages, and not even the sonic boom had time to travel
Before it had already pierced through the stone goon's heart!
"Boom!"
The fist punched through the stone goon, and the fierce fist wind stripped away vast amounts of air!
The purple poison mist swirling around the battlefield was easily parted!
The Diamond Peak stone goon was instantly one-shotted!
Before the stone goon could even react,
Craig threw over twenty punches in less than half a second!
Each punch reached maximum power, like a tireless punching machine!
The stone goon was riddled with holes in moments!
Its face full of shock:
(ꐦʘ̆ཀʘ̥̆) "Undefeated Fist Master Craig... Pfft-ahh~"
Next second, its entire form collapsed into a pile of rubble!
That water-element fellow turned into water and tried to flee!
But then, the colorful peacock tail at Craig's coattail emerged and shook wildly,
Making a "shasha shasha" sound!
"Peacock Tail Soul Suppression!"
Under the influence of the sound waves, that water-element spiritual warrior let out piercing screams!
His fully elemental body gradually materialized into view!
Craig raised his hand, making a finger-gun gesture, aiming at the guy's lower body!
He pressed his thumb down on his extended index finger, mimicking a trigger pull!
(◞乛～乛)☛౦҉̛
"Fist Gun!"
"Boom!"
The air was violently stripped away, forming a vacuum bubble, which then exploded!
The central temperature inside the vacuum bubble instantly exceeded 5000°C!
Even approaching the surface of the sun!
This was the pistol shrimp's ability, nicknamed the gun shrimp!
And Craig's beast transformation was a fusion of the mantis shrimp and the pistol shrimp!
Both were ruthless customers!
The water-element fellow's lower body instantly vaporized and exploded from the hit!
Even his upper body burst into countless water droplets!
Even so, he still tried to condense a human form!
Craig's face darkened as he stepped forward slowly!
(◞¯ิ～¯ิ) "The Fish Country royal family's dignity is not to be challenged! You deserve death, but you cannot die yet!"
As he spoke, the peacock tail shook even more violently. The water-element fellow could no longer maintain his elemental form and reverted to human shape!
Craig struck the back of his neck with one blow, and he immediately fainted, losing all combat ability!
Just then, Jiangnan marked and teleported back!
As soon as he arrived, he saw those two already dealt with by Craig!
He was stunned with surprise!
This old man had *skills*?
How long had it been, and he'd already handled two assassins?
One dead, one injured?
That wood-element assassin, however, endured the peacock tail's sound waves and fled over two thousand meters!
Jiangnan smirked wickedly. Still trying to run?
With a teleport, he appeared before the wood-element assassin!
The wood-element assassin's eyes were savage as he thrust four wooden spikes toward Jiangnan!
But Jiangnan didn't retreat; instead, he charged straight into the spikes!
(ꐦ•̀yi•́)ﾉ━=͟͟͞͞ﾚ(ﾟٹﾟ)ﾍ
Vine Brother: ???
What are you doing?
Giving yourself up?
But the next second, a devilish grin spread across Jiangnan's face!
(๑ิᗜิ)
This time, let's see how you cover it up! I'll lay all the evidence out for you!
Plotting against me? I'll out-trick you to death!
"Displacement!"
In an instant, Wuzi, still in his nightgown, appeared in a half-squatting horse stance,
Both hands on his knees, phone in hand, cigarette in his mouth,
Face twisted in strain, as if he was really pushing hard!
(ꐦ͡ಠmin͡ಠꐦ)
Wuzi: ???
Before Wuzi could even react, four wooden spikes stabbed into his belly, blood gushing!
Wuzi's eyes widened in terror as he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
(づʘ̆ʖ̌ʘ̆)???
What the hell?
I was just taking a dump! How did I get stabbed?
Where the hell is this?
In Wuzi's room, Jiangnan pinched his nose and flushed the toilet!
His face full of disgust!
(yiกyi٥)
A dump this smelly? Definitely full of bad intentions, not a good guy either!
He could maintain up to three spatial marks at once,
And they lasted twenty-four hours!
Since he knew Wuzi had targeted him, he'd never canceled the mark on him!
And now, it hadn't even been twenty-four hours since Jiangnan left the mark!
Targeting me?
Let's see how you argue your way out of this!
The next second, Jiangnan raised his hand and condensed a Big Jade Steel Wool Ball!
"Mark Teleport!"
He appeared abruptly behind Wuzi and smashed it straight into Wuzi's butt!
━=͟͟͞͞(˵¯͒⌢͗¯͒)っ-`❍´-
Wuzi: !!!
"Boom!"
Sharp spiritual threads shot out in all directions, slicing the defenseless Wuzi into a bloody mess!
[From Wuzi: Resentment +1000!]
Even the Vine Brother was blown flying!
Just then, Craig arrived, carrying the water assassin. He punched out,
Piercing Vine Brother's chest! Then, with a swift hand strike, a sickening crack of bones rang out!
Vine Brother screamed without pause. All four limbs were broken, and even his jaw was dislocated!
He lay on the ground like a pile of mud!
Craig's movements were as smooth as flowing water!
Wuzi wiped the blood from his face, stared at Craig, and was completely stunned!
A terrible premonition surged in his heart!
Jiangnan glared angrily!
(´థkouథ)σ "Well done, Wuzi! I treated you sincerely, and you repay me by trying to kill me?"
"You were behind the airport assassination too, weren't you?"
"If I didn't have some skill, I'd really have been done for! You almost killed me!"
Wuzi panicked: (ง#•᷅д•᷄#)ง "No! It wasn't me! I was just taking a shit! I..."
Jiangnan's eyes bulged!
O(ꐦ⊙yi⊙ꐦ) "Bullshit! Still trying to argue? You showed up at the crime scene, and you say it wasn't you?"
"You came to supervise personally because you weren't at ease, right? And when things went south, you tried to silence the assassins?"
"Kogoro's deduction—touch your belly! You're the mastermind behind this assassination!"
Wuzi: !!!
Craig's face completely darkened!
(≖‸≖◟) "Wuzi! Do you understand what you're doing?"
Wuzi panicked: (งkou min kou)ง "Dammit! It really wasn't me! It was Shaxia! It must be Shaxia! I have nothing to do with it!"
Fuck!
Don't dump this on me!
I'm being wronged to death! I only arranged for a maid to watch Mila. Honestly, the rest wasn't me!
Are you framing the wrong person?
The blame belongs to Shaxia!
Jiangnan snarled: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "Still lying? Butler Craig? You be the judge! Even after all this, he still won't admit it!"
Just then, the water assassin woke up, his eyes darting as he remembered Shaxia's instructions—
If captured, say this. The situation couldn't be more perfect!
"Lord Wuzi, things have come to this. You can't push it away anymore. Just admit it!"
"It's my fault. I failed to carry out Lord Wuzi's orders well. I deserve to die!"
Wuzi exploded: "You're full of shit! I don't even know you! Who gave you orders? Don't you slander me!"
Vine Brother glared with hatred!
(งʖyiʖ)ง "I could have escaped! I was so loyal to you, and you tried to silence me to eliminate future trouble?"
"I don't hate that I'm about to die. I only hate that I followed the wrong person and acknowledged the wrong big brother!"
Wuzi was furious: !!!
"Who's your big brother? You're talking nonsense! The airport wave was me, no lie! But this wave really has nothing to do with me!"
"You have to believe me! Believe me!"
Jiangnan smiled brightly!
(σ՞꒫՞)σ "Oh? So you admit the airport wave was your doing?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the scene fell silent!
Wuzi's forehead dripped with sweat. His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Jiangnan...
(ꐦ꒦ິyi꒦ີ) "Jiang! Nan! I~%...;#*'!"
"You're trying to screw me to death, aren't you?"
[From Wuzi: Resentment +1000!]
This wave was like mud in the crotch of your pants—you can't prove it's shit!
Man sitting on the toilet at home, pot falling from the sky onto his head!
Pfft-wah~
Jiangnan squinted: "You were the one who wanted to kill me first!"
At that moment, Sena also walked over, hands behind his back, his expression grim!
There was already murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Wuzi!
"You sure are your daddy's good son! The assassins you hired sure are strong, huh?"
"Even beating up your own father? Trying to kill him? And poisoning the whole family?"
Wuzi's face turned pale. He wanted to say more, but Sena backhanded him!
"Slap!"
Wuzi's teeth were all knocked out, scattering all over the floor!
Sena narrowed his eyes: "Originally, you were the son I had the most hope for—capable, strong, good talent and bloodline!"
"But now, you've disappointed your daddy too much! Killing a Hua Xia Envoy? Do you have any sense of the bigger picture?"
Wuzi's body and soul trembled!
He was finished, completely done for!
Originally, he thought he could sit back and wait, let others do the dirty work, and reap the benefits!
He never expected Jiangnan to screw him all the way to grandma's house!
Sena wore an apologetic expression: "Brother Jiang, I'm truly sorry you had to see this. It's my failure as a father!"
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter! But I ask you to do me a favor—he's my son, after all. I watched him grow up!"
"Spare his life. I guarantee that such assassination attempts won't happen again!"
Jiangnan frowned: "You gave the same guarantee at the banquet! And immediately after, this happened!"
"When did the Sea King's promise become so cheap? You can keep your son's life—I don't care!"
"But I'll say this here: From now on, whoever tries to kill me, I'll directly kill them! No matter if they're a royal noble, a prince, or a princess!"
"After all, I only have one life, and I cherish it quite a bit. I hope the Sea King understands!"
