Chapter 1366: Shock and Fury
Chapter 1366: Shock and Fury
Ye Fan sent a message: Locate the whereabouts of White Whale as soon as possible.Peng Bird saw the message, and his heart was overwhelmed with shock, leaving him dazed.
"Leader, what’s the matter?" Mountain Ghost asked in confusion.
"Uh, hehe!" Peng Bird laughed complexly, snapped back to reality, and urgently sent a message: How come you’re not dead? How is that possible? Even gods would have been blown up, how could you possibly still be alive?
Ye Fan: The ones bombed were the Spine Team.
Peng Bird: Impossible, how could such a thing happen? General Hawan isn’t foolish?
Peng Bird received Ye Fan’s second message, marked with the name ’Imposters’, and his heart was mixed with shock and amazement filling his entire being.
Ye Fan: Too much nonsense.
After receiving the third message, Ye Fan sent no more, leaving Peng Bird pondering for a long time, sending many questions trying to understand what had happened, all blocked by the words ’Too much nonsense’.
"An interesting person, such sophisticated methods." Peng Bird sighed sincerely, initially wanting to call to ask for details, but hesitatingly abandoned the idea.
He feared that if he called, the owner of the imposters wouldn’t answer, so he decided not to trouble himself.
An imposter so bold in front of him, yet he felt no dissatisfaction, only admiration.
No matter what method Ye Fan used, getting General Hawan to bomb the Spine Team was unimaginable.
Peng Bird couldn’t help but admire; he admitted he didn’t possess such skills.
The cooperation between Ye Fan and Peng Bird, far from friendship, was purely beneficial.
Ye Fan made use of Peng Bird’s information to track the target’s whereabouts.
What Peng Bird considered was waiting for Ye Fan and his team to pretend to be dead at the right time, to cover for the real Peng Bird and his gang.
If Ye Fan and his team truly died, that would be best; if not, as long as they stayed out of sight.
Expecting Ye Fan’s seven-person team to have been killed by the explosion, he didn’t anticipate such a brilliant act from them, truly astonished with no words to express his amazement.
What Ye Fan didn’t know was that behind Peng Bird, there was the support from D Country’s underworld boss, Boss Zuo.
What could Peng Bird do? Only obey Ye Fan’s orders and keep gathering intelligence.
"Leader, what’s exactly happening?" Mountain Ghost asked curiously, "You seem to have seen a ghost from your expression?"
"I really did see a ghost, a living ghost." Peng Bird responded complexly, "The fakes of ours suffered no harm, instead, the Spine Team got unlucky, with General Hawan’s artillery all landing on them."
"How is that possible? How can that be?" Mountain Ghost asked in shock, "Leader, are you speaking nonsense?"
"Upon hearing such news, who wouldn’t be shocked?" Peng Bird sighed.
Mountain Ghost believed the startling news, saying complicatedly, "These seven, they really used high-level tactics, even when facing the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps’ Spine Team, would only retreat, not daring to confront, yet unbelievably, the Spine Team fell like this, truly making one find it hard to believe, like a dream."
"Instruct our people, at all costs, to watch White Whale and General Hawan’s every move." Peng Bird ordered.
Mountain Ghost agreed, unable to hide his surprise, "There’s a good show to watch now, initially I wasn’t optimistic about the seven; now it seems the excitement just elevated. The Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, hearing this, surely will be furious. I wonder how General Hawan will explain this, once allies with Hawk, losing the Spine Team, they might never get along again."
"Boss Zuo should be happy now." Peng Bird chuckled.
"Leader, should we inform Boss Zuo, let him rejoice right away?" Mountain Ghost suggested.
"It’s quite late, best not to disturb Boss Zuo; early tomorrow morning suffices." Peng Bird replied.
...
At General Hawan’s camp, the two servants responsible for his wellbeing noticed something was amiss, causing a commotion that attracted the lieutenant and others.
Upon inspection, the lieutenant and others were furious, their murder intent boiling.
The general was dead.
The general died right under their noses, enraging them.
After examining General Hawan’s injuries, with a brief thought, the lieutenant understood only White Whale had the suspicion and opportunity to strike; no one else had a chance.
At that moment, White Whale had left the camp for just about an hour.
Immediately, the lieutenant and several officers gathered to plan their revenge.
"Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, White Whale, have indeed crossed the line, using the general’s trust to commit such a brutality, unforgivable even in death," said an officer through gritted teeth.
"Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps will be our top enemy; until exterminating this foe, the general’s soul won’t rest." said the lieutenant with rising murder intent, "This White Whale team leader outwardly flattering, seemingly courteous to the general, yet hidden with vicious intent."
"Find White Whale’s whereabouts, start with White Whale, gradually avenging the general," a major team leader said, "Capture White Whale, slowly interrogate, earnestly punish, ensuring they cannot live or die, then fight to the bitter end with Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, causing them a catastrophic disaster to relieve our anger."
"Thoroughly investigate White Whale and his team’s whereabouts, immediately start pursuit and search, mobilizing all usable underground forces, promising significant benefits to avenge the general at any cost." The lieutenant declared loudly, "Also, regarding the general’s death, keep it hidden for now; I don’t want outsiders to know."
The lieutenant arranged posthumous matters skillfully, ensuring current priorities like apprehending White Whale, the main culprit.
Also, the general’s death mustn’t yet be announced; otherwise, it would stir too much commotion. After capturing the culprit, disclosing it will suffice; doing so now might let the culprit escape, turning them into what?
Wouldn’t that make them all useless?
The general was killed in his own camp by outsiders, the culprit escaped. If this news spread, not only would the general’s lifelong reputation be destroyed, ridiculed, they too would fall into a powerless evaluation, something intolerable.
Under the lieutenant’s orders, several officers led warriors in pursuit along White Whale’s possible escape route.
