Ling Fan, accompanying Yao Yue, left the desolate wasteland for a nearby hill.
"Take good care of yourself, absorb the elixir you just took. I'm going to make a call!" Ling Fan instructed, then took out his phone.
He dialed a number, and after a mont, the call connected with a decadent voice responding.
"Hello? Who is it?" The voice on the other end was sowhat hoarse.
"Lawson, from the sound of it, you seem to be in bad shape. What's been happening lately?" Ling Fan asked calmly.
At this point, Lawson, drunkenly lying next to a prison, suddenly sobered up a bit.
"You are..." Lawson gripped the phone, his heart pounding furiously.
The voice sounded familiar, but he dared not confirm it.
"You've forgotten an old friend so soon, Beiming!" Ling Fan said calmly.
"Beiming?" Lawson, still holding the phone, was shocked and confused.
"You... you weren't blown up by those bastards from Snow Country?"
"Ha, they wish they could blow up? Seems like everyone knows about the incident in Snow Country!" Ling Fan laughed.
Regaining his composure, Lawson couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha, I just knew you wouldn't go down that easily, damn, that's great!
I just heard the good news that you survived a near-death situation two years ago, hadn't celebrated a few nights before hearing your bad news again, old pal, my heart isn't in the best condition to withstand such swings of joy and sorrow!"
"Ha, we're just the type who lick blood off the knife's edge, aren't we? Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill . Oh, by the way, I need a favor!" Ling Fan started.
"Go ahead, Beiming, whatever it is, if I can do it!" Lawson said happily.
"I need you to arrange a batch of weaponry for , just enough to blow Snow Country sky high, na your price, I'll cover it!" Ling Fan replied.
Lawson, upon hearing this, was montarily stunned, his face showing surprise, "Tell , where are you now? I heard recently that the bombing culprit, Kuno Yukki, was assassinated. Haven't you left Snow Country yet?"
Ling Fan frowned, Kuno Yukki was assassinated?
He imdiately turned to look at Yao Yue, who was ditating nearby. Besides Yao Yue, he couldn't think of anyone else capable of assassinating a mber of the Kuno Clan in this location; she hadn't even ntioned it to him!
"Lawson, we, the Two Kings and One Emperor, have our dignity. The bombing two years ago, I still haven't let go of the hatred!
To co at today, do they think I, Ling Beiming, am made of mud?
If I don't get revenge, how can I face the world? I won't leave until I turn everything upside down!" Ling Fan's eyes glittered with a cold light as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Lawson took this more seriously, his eyes filled with boundless excitent.
"Beiming, the glory of the Two Kings relies on you, the War Emperor, to uphold it. You've worked hard. I'll arrange the weapons.
It's on the house, just make sure you do it spectacularly, as a fitting end to my own curtain call!" Lawson said excitedly.
Ling Fan frowned, "Lawson, what are you up to, retiring?"
Ling Fan was quite surprised by Lawson's words, unable to understand why he would do such a thing, as his status would be worthless if he retired.
And a "King of War" with no value, how could the Ais Duchy keep him around?
"Ha, I'm old, and this world no longer belongs to . It doesn't make sense to keep struggling. Can't be fighting and killing forever, can we? Everyone has their ti eventually!
By the way, I have so good news for you, I have a child now, I have a successor, even if my ti cos, I will have no regrets!" Lawson spoke with a touch of lancholy and so relief.
Ling Fan took a deep breath and said no more, knowing he had his own plans, and his own words would be of no use.
"Is your child safe? Do you need my help?" Ling Fan asked.
Ling Fan hesitated, then questioned Lawson, willing to help his old friend.
"Beiming, thank you, I'll contact you if needed!" Lawson gratefully responded.
"By the way, I've analyzed it, Snow Country has eighteen military bases. Just eighteen Grade C Super Weapons should suffice.
However, while I can get them there, how can you receive them? Plus, you'll need enough manpower to launch them, all of these are issues!
Moreover, launching Super Weapons in Snow Country will surely face guided interception, the success rate isn't high!"
Hearing Lawson's analysis, Ling Fan just laughed.
"Lawson, this is Snow Country's holand; their guidance system targets intercontinental ballistic missiles. Interception on their own soil should be unlikely.
Besides, they'd never dream that soone would dare strike them with Super Weapons on their own turf.
As for the launch issue, I have my ways. Just have the devices modified to be tir-set, the longest delay being three hours," Ling Fan stated calmly.
Lawson nodded, "OK, no problem, might take so ti, consider it done on the receiving end!"
"No problem, as long as you can get them here!" Ling Fan responded.
"Hmm, land and air transport in Snow Country are unlikely, I'll arrange a nuclear submarine," Lawson pondered, then said.
"Hmm, appreciate it. Is there any chance you can also arrange an Grade A Super Weapon for ?" Ling Fan hesitated, then asked again.
Lawson took a deep breath, didn't question what Ling Fan intended to use it for, and nodded imdiately, "Can do!"
"Thanks, once you've got it sorted, contact !" Ling Fan nodded.
The two exchanged a few more words on the phone then hung up.
Ling Fan put away his phone and took a deep breath, recognizing the power of connections; they could offer boundless support in critical monts!
Looking up at the clear blue sky of Snow Country, he muttered to himself, "If others don't offend , I won't offend them. But if you don't teach them a bloody lesson, do they really think I, Ling Beiming, am that easy to ss with?"
