Chapter 627: Chapter 600: General (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui); I want to know who is the mastermind behind this? Is there any specific intelligence?
While asking, he contacted Fang Ranran, sending out a warning and confirming her current location.
At the sa ti, Lin Rui was also gathering his forces.
Due to the all-out war between the Light King Sect and the Light God Sect, all four of his Seventh Realm high-level experts had been dispatched to other Base Cities, including Zhu Youheng, the Super Emperor of Eight Realms.
Lin Rui entrusted Zhu with the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Cult.
Therefore, Lin Rui’s core force has always been in the Ninth Base City.
The problem was that Linghu Mingde had already been invited by the Congress and went to the ‘Capital’ warship last night.
The other party chose an excellent opportunity to make their move.
Bakery Owner: I’m not too clear about the mastermind, but I know that not long ago a big custor spent a lot of money in the Underworld to hire an assassin group. They didn’t go through the dark web but contacted privately, so I can only tell you that the Dark Dragon Group and Tianzhu Group are involved.
Bakery Owner: Don’t ask for detailed intelligence anymore, you should know the rules of the Underworld. giving you a heads-up is already breaking the rules.
Lin Rui’s mind sharpened; both the Dark Dragon Group and Tianzhu Group were extrely powerful assassin and rcenary groups, even stronger than the Shadow Killing Team that once attempted to assassinate him!
He imdiately thought to hell with the rules; since the mastermind didn’t use the “bakery” as an underground dark web channel, this Vasiliyev had no moral burden.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Give all the intelligence you have now, and na your price.
He imdiately received a file from the bakery owner, but he had to pay 7.5 billion federal coins to open it.
Lin Rui felt increasingly frustrated internally, cursing Vasiliyev from head to toe.
He felt like he was working for this Eurasian Federation’s crooked businessman lately.
Although Lin Rui was not pleased, he still hesitated not one bit to make the paynt and opened the file.
Lin Rui thought if the intelligence wasn’t worth the price, he would show this guy what’s what tomorrow.
However, after browsing through the docunt, Lin Rui’s mood beca even colder.
At the mont Lin Rui was exchanging with Vasiliyev, Li Xianglong was rubbing his temples in great distress. “The 112 billion federal coins you want, I will transfer to your account in 5 days, but I demand that you start the project research as soon as possible. Additionally, I’ll give you another armant list; you can price it for first.”
This armant list was prepared for Kou Xuan King.
But Li Xianglong was very troubled by this financing.
Indeed, he controlled trendous power and substantial governnt funds, but Lin Rui was not keen on revealing their new technology, aning this matter could not temporarily go through the public accounts of the Security Bureau.
The problem was that neither Li Xianglong nor Kou Xuan King was good at business, nor did they want to indulge in corrupt practices like embezzling public funds for private use, so unlike so other Divine Envoy Level Congressn, they didn’t possess a great deal of property.
Luckily, Li Xianglong still had about eight or nine hundred billion in fixed assets, able to collect forty or fifty billion in rent annually, while Kou Xuan King the gambler didn’t have a di to his na.
Whenever that guy ran out of money, he would take a few trusted subordinates to do missions on Tianji Star. Once his pockets were sowhat filled, he would take a seat at the gambling table and lose every bit of cash down to his underpants, truly a possession by the God of Poverty.
For that reason, figuring out how to gather this sum of money was indeed troubleso for Li Xianglong.
At this mont, Li Xianglong finally noticed Lin Rui’s unease and turned to ask, “What happened? If it’s urgent, you can leave first. Don’t worry about .”
“Sorry, General, it’s Vasiliyev, the bakery owner, who inford that soone is going to make a move on Ranran. The situation might be quite serious this ti.”
Lin Rui felt a sense of urgency; he briefly explained and hurriedly turned to leave.
Inside the armant testing zone, Wang Tianwu, who was testing his own armants, also received the ssage.
His expression changed and he imdiately strode towards the exit.
Soone dares to make a move on the boss’s wife?
These bastards are hitting right on the muzzle—just as he was promoted to 8SSS rank and was looking for a strong opponent for a fight!
Li Xianglong frowned slightly, confird briefly in the intelligence database, then turned and said to Lin Rui, “If there’s anything you need help with, give a sign.”
He discovered that Lin Rui was no longer worried about being connected with Lin Hao.
This guy was even deliberately arranging things to make others believe that Lin Rui was Lin Hao’s black glove.
Li Xianglong didn’t know the reason behind Lin Rui’s actions. Did Lin Rui really think that such tricks could deceive the major players of the Federation?
However, Li Xianglong knew what Lin Rui was capable of; this little fellow must be pretty confident.
Moreover, Lin Rui now had much greater autonomy, he was no longer the small fry he used to be.
——This guy’s forces even included two Quasi-mber Level combatants! His assets also exceeded 5 trillion, significantly richer than Li Xianglong!
Energized by the words he heard, Lin Rui, already donning the ‘Imperial Right’ exoskeleton armor, dashed out of the Biological Prosthetics Research Institute’s gate with Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi, only able to communicate with Li Xianglong via quantum communication: Thank you so much, Marshal, please check the docunt I’ve sent you.
Gu Ying Tiandao: It seems like the leader of the Dark Dragon Group is right at this location. I’d trouble the Marshal to find him for , and it would be best if you could help take him down.
So as greedy as this Aleksei Vasiliyev is, the intelligence he provided is still valuable.
Li Xianglong was slightly taken aback after reading the ssage sent by Lin Rui.
This guy really doesn’t hold back at all.
To his knowledge, the leader of the Dark Dragon Group was a Ninth Realm Emperor Rank Quasi-mber, and also a top-tier sniper.
This was a Four-star Marshal in the reserves, as well as a mber of the Earth Federation.
However, in the past ten years, the number of high-level Armored Warriors who died at the hands of the Dark Dragon Group has exceeded two hundred. Keeping them around would be more detrintal.
Li Xianglong: Okay, the fee for taking action is 80 billion federal coins, and I guarantee that he can be taken down.
He felt he was being quite fair, as this commission was already below the current market price.
In the Earth Federation, hiring soone to kill any Quasi-mber would cost at least 100 billion up front.
Lin Rui’s expression darkened slightly, he still has to pay?
He could only pinch his nose and respond: Deal!
Lin Rui couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; although he was making a fortune every day, the rate at which he spent money was still far slower than the rate he earned it.
Initially, he had wanted to fleece Li Xianglong for a bit of cash, but in the end, he got the tables turned on him by this person.
Li Xianglong sent another ssage to Lin Rui: Rember, don’t make too much of a ss. Thunder’s promotion to General of the Security Bureau and his appointnt as the first Deputy Director of the Ninth Division have just been announced.
After reading the ssage, Lin Rui frowned deeply.
Thunder’s promotion to General of the Security Bureau, huh? This wasn’t exactly good news for him.
His powers hadn’t changed much; he was still in charge of the Special Service Center and the National Security Special Action Center but now had to take on so managent responsibilities.
Moreover, after tonight, he would be a Congressman—who would care about being the first Deputy Director of a division then?
Li Xianglong probably guessed his thoughts and sent another ssage: This position is just a stepping stone. The Security Bureau headquarters is also about to establish the ‘Sky Extre Star Trading Surveillance Center’ and the ‘National Security Special Action Center’, and you’re the designated director. Don’t make trouble for Thunder at this ti.
If a serious security incident happens in Ninth Base City at this ti, ‘Thunder’, as the directly responsible person, would definitely have difficulties in his transfer.
But right now, Lin Rui couldn’t care less about ‘Thunder’s’ future.
He already knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was—it was the Longevity Association!
Lin Rui thought the recent pharmaceutical war might deter the Longevity Association for a while, making them observe for so ti.
However, their enemy was far more vicious than Lin Rui imagined, targeting Fang Ranran instead.
So now he must go all out to ensure Fang Ranran’s safety on one hand, and on the other hand, to eradicate these assassins to the greatest extent.
Lin Rui couldn’t let the Longevity Association gauge his strength and weaknesses, and he must also warn the underworld with this fight that whoever wished harm upon him and Fang Ranran must pay a sufficient price.
Beyond that, nothing else was within his considerations at the mont.
