Chapter 970 - Locating the Assassins (2)

When Yuan reached this metal door that was built to withstand even nuclear weapons, a voice resounded from the speakers in the hallway.

”I fully understand why we were unable to kill you today, you fucking monster. We shouldʼve asked for way more money when we accepted the request to kill you.” A familiar voice resounded.

Yuan recognized this voice to be the same as the person he spoke to on the phone today.

”Youʼll need more than guns to kill me.” Yuan casually said.

”Anyways, why donʼt you open the door and let me in? Itʼll be a whole lot messier if I have to force my way inside.”

”Hahaha! Go ahead and break this door if you can! This place was created to withstand even nuclear weapons!”

”Is that so?” Yuan sighed.

He then asked, ”Before I do so, I have a question. The bastards that shot at me today. Are they inside with you?”

”I see! So youʼre looking for the squad responsible for the incident today. Unfortunately, you wonʼt find them here— because theyʼre currently on their way to the White Lotus Hotel!”

”Furthermore, they will kill anyone in that hotel until they find you! However, since youʼre obviously not there, that means everyone in that hotel will be dead soon!”

After learning this information, Yuan started preparing for the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike.

”Hey, do you remember our call earlier?”

”Huh? What are you talking about?”

”Yu Yong. I was the one who called you just now.”

”So you tracked the phone call, huh. Not bad. I am impressed by the one who managed to track us despite all of the security we had.”

”You welcomed me to try and destroy your organization. I will be fulfilling your desire now.”

”Hahaha! And how are you going to do that?! With that sword in your hand?! In case you missed it, not even nuclear weapons can destroy this place, much less a sword! I have already called for reinforcements, too! They will be swarming this place soon!”

”Whether it will work or not, weʼll know soon enough.”

Once heʼd gathered enough spiritual energy, Yuan released the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike directly at the door.

The ground immediately shook, and the people inside the sealed room felt as though theyʼd been struck by a meteorite.

A few moments later, Yuan looked at the results.

All of the dirt and materials built around the room had completely vanished, revealing the bunker to the open sky.

However, the room itself was still there.

With that being said, it had sustained heavy damage, and major cracks could be seen around this room that was basically a large metal box.

”W-What the fuck just happened?!” The people in the room were baffled by what theyʼd just experienced, and they were terrified when they saw the cracks in the walls.

”Wow, you actually survived. Iʼm genuinely impressed.”

The people inside the room could hear Yuanʼs voice through the cracks on the walls.

”However, it doesnʼt look like it will be able to survive another one.”

”W-Wait!” The familiar voice resounded again, but it sounded much more nervous this time.

”L-Letʼs talk about this! What do you want?!”

”I want the bastards currently heading to the White Lotus Hotel. Give them to me and I will spare your lives.” Yuan said.

”I understand! I will immediately command them to return!”

The man retrieved his cell phone and ordered the squad to return.

”Itʼs been done! They have halted their mission and are currently on their way back here! They should arrive in about three hours!”

”And you expect me to just believe you?”

”I swear on my ancestorsʼ grave that I am telling the truth!” The man said.

Yuan suddenly retrieved a cell phone and called Meixiu.

After explaining the situation to her, he said, ”I want you guys to evacuate the hotel. If anything happens there, I want to know.”

”I understand. I will call you back once we evacuate.”

About half an hour later, Meixiu called him back and said, ”Weʼve evacuated to another location. White Lotus left most of her guards behind to protect the hotel, and sheʼs even called in reinforcements. They will contact us if anything happens.”

”Thank you. I should return in about four hours if everything goes smoothly.”

”Okay.”

After hanging up, Yuan proceeded to stand in front of the metal box like a guard, patiently waiting for the assassins to return.

The people inside the metal box wanted to escape, but none of them dared to leave the room, and there was only a single way out of there— the door that was being guarded by Yuan.

Sometime later, the manʼs voice resounded again, ”I-It was you! Youʼre the one responsible for what happened to the Zheng Family today! Youʼre the ʼunknown weapon of mass destructionʼ!”

However, Yuan denied such claims.

”I have no idea what youʼre talking about.”

The people inside the room were well aware that Yuan was lying, but they didnʼt dare to push their luck and continue to accuse him.

About two and a half hours later, Yuan could see five people approaching the destroyed bunker with his divine sense.

”W-What the fuck happened here?!”

”My god! Itʼs like someone had dropped a nuke on this place!”

”Shit! This is a trap!”

This group of people tried to run away when they realized their situation, but they didnʼt get very far before Yuan descended from the sky, blocking their path.

”Why donʼt you all stay still for a moment? If you try to run, I will immediately kill you.” Yuan summoned the Starry Abyss and removed its invisibility, letting it fly around the group to threaten them.

Meanwhile, Yuan faced the bunker and released another Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, completely erasing everything this time.

”Sorry, but I lied when I said that I would let you all live.” Yuan mumbled towards the direction of the bunker— at least where it used to exist.

After cleaning up whatʼs left of the bunker and everyone in it, Yuan turned to look at the group of five assassins with a cold gaze, who were terrified out of their minds after what theyʼd just witnessed.

”Itʼs so nice to see you all again. I have been anticipating this reunion for a while now.” Yuan said to them with a gentle smile on his face that looked incredibly devilish to the group.
