The Yukolun Security Bureau responsible for investigating the incident had finished recording the testimonies, and the whole affair reeked of strangeness.
A mysterious person had rescued the hostages, and according to so individual testimonies—this person had spun in mid-air, opened fire, and killed twenty enemies, and even caught a 155MM howitzer cannonball weighing 50 kilograms with his bare hands!
Such a thing was simply impossible!
Fortunately, so hostages who didn't see clearly spoke nonsense, and Li Jin's family of three were deliberately vague, which led the Security Bureau to believe these hostages had experienced hallucinations due to excessive fright.
It could only be confird that indeed soone had charged in, with precise shooting, but unfortunately, after the rescue, they couldn't prevent the explosion of the cannonballs, and it was unknown whether this person was still alive.
Moreover, the entire scene had been destroyed by the explosion, and it was impossible to verify what had happened, so the matter was dropped.
As a result of this incident, Yukolun's authorities lost face both internally and externally.
Not only did a malicious hostage-taking incident occur at the heart of the capital, resulting in heavy casualties, but the renowned world cultural heritage site—Saint Sophia Cathedral was also destroyed by the explosion.
At the sa ti, the Chechen rcenaries under their command fled in droves, causing continuous retreats on the entire eastern front.
The dostic situation was even more turbulent and chaotic!
~~~~~~~~
This incident spread online, and netizens were half in doubt, but the mask worn by Lu Yao was clearly seen by the hostages, and it was definitely His Excellency, the President of the Star Alliance Country.
As the world's top influencer, it naturally sparked widespread discussion, and so even inquired below his Twitter—was it you?
In all the hubbub, Lu Yao stopped paying attention to the matter, as for him, Yukolun being in chaos was actually a good thing, making it easier to buy "big toys."
At this mont, Lu Yao was heading to the legendary "black market" in Kiev, to see what "big toys" might be available for purchase.
This was an ordinary civilian area of Kiev, filled with drunkards and opium users everywhere, as well as those who indulged in both vices.
Over the short distance of a few kiloters, Lu Yao had already tossed three would-be muggers into trash bins.
These people, so with knives, so with guns, were rendered powerless like chicks and thrown straight into the trash bins, letting out pitiful screams.
Fortunately, they had chosen locations without surveillance and police interference for their cris.
Dusting off his hands, Lu Yao walked on and pondered, "I'll have to do many big things in the future, and I will frequently use force on Blue Star. It's impossible to stay dry if you always walk by the river, I can't hide perfectly every ti."
"Plus, I'm about to cleanse my marrow soon, and then I'll have the strength of 6,000 pounds on ! I'll be like a whale in a reservoir, hard to hide, bound to be exposed sooner or later."
"It can't be helped. I have plenty of gold, and all I need is to endure until I reach the Indestructible Golden Body Realm, and then even if I'm exposed, I won't be afraid."
Martial Artists of the Indestructible Golden Body Realm are not just "tough," they possess extrely fast speeds and high concealnt in human form, and as long as one does not foolishly venture into uninhabited areas, it's difficult to be targeted on Blue Star.
~~~~~~~~
Before long, Lu Yao arrived at the "black market," situated inside an abandoned factory.
Lu Yao had assud such a place would be hard to find, but to his surprise, they didn't bother to hide at all, even running an online store which could be found easily using a smartphone.
However, the online store only sold light weapons and opium; to buy "big toys," one had to co and see for themselves.
Just as Lu Yao reached the entrance, he was stopped by five burly n covered in tattoos, looking like gangsters, but with a cold gaze and the deanor of professional soldiers.
In these war-torn lands, retired soldiers often turned to the underworld.
The bald headed leader spoke in Star Alliance Language, "Ha~ An Asian? That's quite rare."
Then he turned and said sothing in dialect: "тыпиздишьнахуй," causing the few n to laugh malevolently.
Lu Yao pulled out a stack of Star Alliance currency and said in Star Alliance Language, "I want to buy sothing."
The bald man glared at him coldly and said, "Do you think this is a supermarket? If you want to get in, you need to prove your identity first!"
Lu Yao glanced at the n and asked, "How do I do that?"
The bald brute revealed a hint of excitent, pulled out a revolver, inserted a bullet, rapidly spun the cylinder, and then snapped it shut, handing it over and saying, "It's simple, Russian Roulette."
At that mont, many people ran over from the black market, curiously crowding around to watch, and a scantily clad lady joined in. She actually started taking bets and was soon collecting hands full of money.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Yao remained unfazed as he took the gun, opened the chamber, and said, "One bullet is child's play, let's add two more."
A revolver holds six bullets, with three loaded, the odds of dying were one in two!
The bald brute scratched his ear in disbelief and said, "What did you say?"
The crowd jeered loudly, "Andre, he said he wouldn't play child's play, he wants two more bullets~"
"Hurry, hurry, give them to him!"
Their excitent was stirred up, and the clamor echoed to the skies.
The scantily clad Yukolon lady stepped forward, handed over two bullets, and even kissed them before passing them on.
Lu Yao opened the chamber, loaded the bullets, spun it quickly, and then snapped it shut. He then placed the gun against his head and gently pulled the trigger, amidst the anticipatory and excited expressions of the crowd.
A "click" sound echoed, but nothing happened.
Cheers as tumultuous as a tidal wave erupted from the crowd as they escorted the calm-faced Lu Yao into the "black market."
Russian Roulette was truly child's play for him.
~~~~~~~~
This feat had thoroughly established his reputation; people along the way applauded him.
Only the five bald brutes who had acted as gatekeepers were left with sullen expressions.
Lu Yao surveyed the area and felt sowhat disappointed with the so-called "black market"; it mostly sold opium, at least 15 varieties of it.
The firearms were re AKs and such, failing to et his requirents.
The scantily clad Yukolon lady had been following him silently all this ti.
Noticing Lu Yao's dissatisfaction with the goods, she hurriedly approached with a hopeful expression and introduced herself:
"Hello, I'm Sanna, I can act as a middleman, but I'll take a 3% commission on the transaction amount."
"I'm sowhat disappointed with this place and I hope you can bring a surprise. I want powerful weapons!"
Lu Yao's Star Alliance Language was not very standard; the sentence was sowhat long, and it took Sanna a while to understand what he ant, emphasizing with surprise, "Powerful weapons!?"
"Yes, the real deal, not toys like AKs. For example—auto-cannons!"
This was Lu Yao's primary target: fast-firing and powerful enough to dismantle armored vehicles, the aircraft autocannon!
Sanna's face went pale as she said, "Sir, Kiev's black market is not primarily known for arms trade. The occasional items that do co are quickly snapped up by others."
Disappointnt crossed Lu Yao's face. He nodded at her and turned to leave.
Sanna, recalling the man's fearless Russian Roulette with three bullets, was certain he was no law-abiding citizen, definitely not an official like an Interpol agent.
She called after him imdiately, "Wait a minute! If you're willing to wait... I can try to contact 'Marshal Tank Manufacturing Factory' for you."
"Marshal Tank Manufacturing Factory?"
"Yes, I need about three days to make contact, and you'll need to pay $10,000 up front."
A military factory capable of making tanks was surely going to have no trouble eting his requirents.
Without hesitation, Lu Yao pulled out $10,000 and handed it over, "See you in three days. If you bring good news, I'll give you an additional $100,000."
