Chapter 541: You're Such a Madman
Skinny Monkey's face turned green: "You... you have a child? Whose is it?"
Xiaomei: "That's not important. What matters is that it's my child! You're not going to despise me for this, are you?"
Skinny Monkey's head was buzzing: "What do you mean it's not important! It's your child, sure! But I had no part in this child!"
Xiaomei: "Boo hoo~ You've changed. You said you'd accept everything about me! Were all those vows of eternal love nothing?"
Skinny Monkey exploded: "Get lost with that crap! I'll vow your mother's head!"
He was so angry he hung up the phone directly!
Dumped for half a year, then she comes back with a kid and wants me to take over and raise it for her?
Coming back to get back together just so I'd take over? Do I really look that much like a sucker?
Skinny Monkey: (ꐦ´༎ຶ益༎ຶ) To hell with love!
The atmosphere in the warehouse fell into absolute awkwardness!
Black Crow stepped forward and patted Skinny Monkey on the shoulder, comforting him: "Out with the old, in with the new, right? Man! Let it go!"
"Ding!"
Black Crow pulled out his phone and looked at the contact—it was a text from "Dad"!
"Son! The demolition compensation has been transferred to Dad's bank card! But the amount is too large, so the bank froze it. I need to deposit 300,000 first to unfreeze the account! Dad doesn't have that much! Transfer 300,000 to * * * 9527! Hurry! Dad is waiting at the bank!"
Black Crow grinned and quickly replied to the message!
"Dad, wait! Your son will send the money right away!"
Platelet and Iron Ox stared blankly at Black Crow's text message content!
Hey hey hey!
Isn't this a scam text? That demolition text was probably fake too, right?
Don't you have any doubts at all? Uncle's phone was probably stolen, wasn't it?
What the hell? How did all the good news just turn into bad news?
Could this be the bad luck that Brother Nan was talking about?
Iron Ox: "Black Crow! Don't—"
"Clang!"
The steel I-beam leaning nearby actually fell, hitting Iron Ox squarely on the head!
Platelet and Katerina both looked in horror at Iron Ox, whose head was bleeding from the impact!
Is it really that cursed?
They quickly ran to an open area, afraid of being hit by something falling.
"Boom! Slap! Boom!"
A series of steel bar snapping sounds came. They frowned and looked up!
The warehouse roof was smashed open by a huge shipping container, which fell on top of Platelet and Katerina, pinning them underneath...
The gantry crane's steel cable snapped? Seriously?
Mountain Cat: !!!
"Iron Body!"
Startled, Mountain Cat activated Iron Body and entered defensive mode.
"Toot~"
A piercing horn sounded. Mountain Cat and the others looked in shock toward the right side of the warehouse!
"Boom!"
The concrete wall was mercilessly smashed through! A ten-thousand-ton oil tanker crashed into the dock, and the bulbous bow at the front of the ship pierced through, slamming into Mountain Cat without any reason!
Sending her flying dozens of meters!
Are you kidding me? An oil tanker?
The warehouse... collapsed!
...
California Beef Noodle House, Jiangnan sat opposite Lanbo and Fenbo, eating noodles heartily!
These two were starving; they hadn't had a good meal in half a month.
Still, Jiang Devil was pretty good, not bothering us seniors.
Hmph!
No, wait. Knowing Jiang Devil's nature, he definitely wouldn't be this kind-hearted for no reason!
This... this couldn't be a last meal before death, could it?
Lanbo started crying while eating.
"Boo hoo~ Let us go! Please don't kill us, okay?"
"I don't want to die! Please, for the sake of us being your bulletproof vests!"
Jiangnan had already obtained the data keys and such. Tomorrow, he planned to take his team and withdraw back to the country.
He must want to kill us to silence us!
Jiangnan was stunned: "Who said I was going to kill you two? Before I leave, I'll drop you off at the Vegas airport hotel."
"Wait for me there, don't run off. The whole USA is currently hunting the Magician's teammates right now. Being someone else's prisoner won't be as good as staying with me."
Lanbo and Fenbo, hearing that he wasn't going to kill them, were overjoyed and nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
"Mm-hmm, we won't run."
But then they looked puzzled: "Wait, aren't you withdrawing back to the country? Why are you telling us to wait for you?"
Jiangnan grinned: "People who know too much in cartoons always die, you know."
Lanbo and Fenbo quickly shut up and didn't dare ask anymore.
...
In the apartment building, Qian Benying woke up groggy.
"Ugh... what is this, gushing..."
Sitting up in bed, Qian Benying wiped her nose and was instantly jolted awake!
The entire bed was stained red, with two streams of blood shooting far from her nostrils.
"Hiss... How did I... Rokuka?"
At this moment, Rokuka was tied to a chair, slowly moving inch by inch toward the room door, her face full of terror.
"Ying... Ying-chan? Maybe you should go to the bathroom first?"
Qian Benying was completely confused: "Go to the bathroom for what? I..."
Just then, Qian Benying's pretty face froze. She hurriedly looked down!
"Yaaaah!!!"
A scream erupted from the apartment, lighting up all the sound-activated lights from the 1st to the 17th floor!
"How did this happen... Ahhh!"
Qian Benying's face turned bright red. She teleported straight to the bathroom!
She had actually... actually... She was already 26! How could she still... Ahhh, so embarrassing!
"What happened? Where are the data? Jiangnan's teammates? Wasn't I hit by a poisoned blade? Hiss... How are my injuries healed?"
Qian Benying was full of questions.
Rokuka recounted the whole story to her. Sitting on the toilet, sniffling blood, Qian Benying looked stunned!
Jiangnan came back? Not only did he not kill her, but he also detoxified her and healed her injuries?
Jiangnan had a change of heart? Was he really that good?
But the way he detoxified and healed her was just too...
Qian Benying looked down and twisted her fingers, for the first time falling silent. She didn't know whether to be angry or resentful toward Jiangnan. It was pretty complicated.
Rokuka asked tentatively: "Uh... Ying-chan, does the Sakura Group have a billion US dollars?"
Qian Benying: Huh???
"A billion US dollars? How could we possibly have that much cash? You might as well sell me!"
"Even if we did, it would be held by the old group leader. Besides, there's the Elder Council and the Jingming faction. I don't have any say. Why are you asking?"
Rokuka outside the door turned pale, sweat pouring from her forehead.
There's no billion? But I already spent it!
"N... nothing! Just asking!"
Better not tell Ying-chan, or she'll definitely get angry!
Qian Benying twisted her clothes: "Did... did Jiangnan say anything before he left?"
Rokuka suddenly remembered: "Before he left, he left you a note, said he wanted you to see it."
Qian Benying was startled. A note?
Three hours later, a refreshed Qian Benying came out of the bathroom, took the note, and focused on it.
Her pupils shrank sharply, and she sucked in a cold breath!
"Jiangnan! You're such a madman!"
"There's probably no one in this world with bigger balls than you!"
Rokuka curiously leaned in: "What does it say? Let me see!"
The note read:
I can tell you how to get rid of the smell on your body!
Wait for me at the Vegas airport hotel at 12 o'clock tomorrow. I need your help.
I'm going to forcefully break into Area 53 and snatch someone!
Rokuka's eyes widened in shock: "Is Jiangnan crazy? He's going to steal the Bose body? That's impossible!"
Qian Benying's expression was serious: "Others might not have a chance, but a space-type isn't without a chance!"
"This time, Jiangnan is the biggest winner. Originally, no one took a little gold-rank seriously, but he slapped everyone in the face."
"And this time, he's going to slap the entire USA in the face!"
Rokuka said timidly: "Are we going?"
Qian Benying smirked: "Can we afford not to? Do you want to stink for the rest of your life?"
Then she smiled charmingly: "Besides, screwing over the USA is also good for the Sakura Group. Why wouldn't we do it?"
...
Over the Pacific Ocean, the Magician was a mess, spitting blood: "You're crazy! I told you, mine's a fake! The real one is with Jiangnan! Go after him!"
Piers was also pale, covered in bloodstains: "Then give me the hard drive in your hand! Then I'll believe you!"
The Magician gritted his teeth. Give it to Piers?
What if... what if the one I have is real?
What if Jiangnan really couldn't hold out and gave me the hard drive?
Even if there's only a 1% chance, I can't give the hard drive to Piers!
Came all the way to the USA, didn't get the Bose body, didn't get the hard drive back, lost all teammates? The God Lord would kill me!
Even if it's a fake, I can hand it over to the God Lord and explain. If nothing else, I'll just blame Jiangnan.
That's the plan!
Piers sneered: "Won't give it? Still saying yours isn't real? Hand it over—"
"God said, 'Let there be light,' and so there was the first light in the universe!"
"But I am not the light. I am God!"
In an instant, a blazing sun slowly rose from the sea level!
Even though it was night, that blazing sun illuminated the entire night sky as if it were day!
Looking closely, it wasn't really a sun—
It was the light radiating from a golden-haired man!
At this moment, he was approaching at an astonishing, unparalleled speed!
Piers's face was full of wariness: "The Light Society! Odin, the God Lord! That old preacher!"
