Chapter 1754 Gang Leader (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Cafe inside Kester Airport

"Has the target not arrived yet?" The man with a thick beard and a fierce look stared at the airport exit ahead and took a sip of coffee.

“The target was very cautious,” a thin, ruthless-looking figure beside him said hoarsely. “He bought more than a dozen tickets, each going to a different city. He also bought another dozen tickets using his underling’s identity. He forged his subordinate’s identity to buy this ticket and bribed people to board the plane as his subordinate.”

“He played a clever trick,” the bearded man sneered, “but his whereabouts were still tracked down by his superiors.”

“He’s just a big shot with no skills. I heard that his trusted underlings sold him for a good price,” the thin man shook his head. “He made such a big deal, kept 90% of the money for himself, and gave 10% to all his underlings. He still thinks his underlings are trustworthy.”

“This guy is just treating people like idiots,” the bearded man shook his head. “He’s insatiable, so it’s only right that his underlings sold him out.”

“I don’t know the reason either, but that’s what they say,” the thin man shook his head, “If it weren’t for the fact that there are too many people and eyes in Irons, and it’s not convenient for the higher-ups to kill him, he wouldn’t have been able to leave Irons.”

"If it weren't for the large and suspicious presence of people in Ains, this job wouldn't have been ours to do," the bearded man chuckled, sipping his coffee. "Did the higher-ups mention how much money the target was carrying?"

“They didn’t say,” the thin man shook his head, picking up his coffee as well, “but they should know what’s going on. Rumor has it this guy’s ‘reward’ for this operation is in the tens of millions, and he’s hoarded most of it himself.”

He looked at the bearded man, took a sip of coffee, and said, "With such a large sum, a difference of tens or hundreds of thousands shouldn't be a problem. If he spent a lot of money, a difference of a hundred or a million is normal."

At this point, the two exchanged a smile.

"This guy really thinks the intelligence agency's money is easy to come by?" The bearded man took a sip of coffee and chuckled.

“You can’t let these worms who’ve spent their whole lives in the sewers know the rules of high society.” The thin man chuckled softly, then his gaze fell on the airport exit ahead, and he quickly stood up. “The target has arrived.”

The bearded man also stood up and looked in the direction of the airport exit.

Among the massive crowd pouring out of the airport, a man dressed casually, carrying a briefcase, wearing a black baseball cap and large-framed sunglasses, was blending into the crowd and quickly walking towards the outer edge of the airport.

The two people in the coffee shop looked at the man in sunglasses, and without hesitation, slowly got up and followed him.

In a corner of the coffee shop, an elderly man with white curly hair put down his coffee and looked in the direction the two had left.

The old man lowered his head and glanced at his chest.

The scar that ran across his chest had completely faded, leaving only slightly wrinkled skin.

The damage caused directly by the angelic power has only now been fully repaired.

It seems that the free 'healing' given out by the system at the start is also limited.

Gathering his thoughts, He Ao slowly stood up, took out a ten-Federal coin from his pocket, placed it under his coffee, and walked out of the coffee shop.

Airport car rental

“Hello,” the man in the baseball cap walked up to the front desk, looked at the pretty blonde receptionist, and raised his wristband. “I’d like to rent a car, just a regular one.”

"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist bent down, typed something into the computer in front of her, and said quickly, "We currently have a Vidal brand car available for hire. The daily rental fee is 50 Federal Credits. If you rent it for seven days, you can enjoy a 20% discount, which is..."

She looked up at the man in the baseball cap. "Forty federal dollars a day, the price does not include insurance. You will need to pay at least 12 federal dollars a day for insurance. Shall I place an order for you?"

“Damn, 52 Federal Credits a day, your prices are almost on par with Irons, why don’t you just rob us?” The man in the baseball cap lowered his head and pondered for a moment, “Do you have ‘Nold’ limousines? How much are they for a day?”

“Norde luxury cars are currently the most popular high-end luxury cars on the market, of course we have them,” the receptionist’s eyes lit up, and she quickly checked the computer and said, “We currently have the latest Norde S900. We’re having a promotion right now, the rental fee is 280 Federal Dollars per day, including insurance.”

She looked at the man in the baseball cap and smiled, "This is a very reasonable price. How many days do you want to rent it for?"

Upon hearing the price, the man in the baseball cap paused slightly, seemingly tempted, but quickly shook his head. "Give me a Vidal car, I'll rent it for seven days."

The receptionist's gaze instantly dropped, and the smile on her face vanished quickly. She frantically manipulated the computer and casually said, "Okay."

"Beautiful lady, give me a Nord luxury car," just then, a hand was placed on the counter, "Hurry, I need it urgently."

"Yes, sir, I'll get it done for you right away," the receptionist said excitedly, looking up and quickly starting to work. "How many days do you want to rent it for?"

"I was here first." The man in the baseball cap next to him looked at the receptionist and said coldly, "I was in a hurry too."

"I know you're in a hurry, sir, but please wait a moment," the receptionist said with a smile, her eyes fixed on the somewhat thin man who had come to the counter. She took out a scanner and said, "Sir, you can scan your wristband to log in to your member account and enjoy member benefits."

“I don’t have a membership account,” the thin man said slowly. “Can I register?”

"Of course!" The receptionist's eyes lit up again. She quickly operated the scanner and handed it to her. "You can scan the chip directly and enter your email address to start registering."

"My friend, I was here first." The man in the baseball cap's expression turned cold as he turned to look at the thin man.

“Friend, don’t rush.” The thin man waved his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on the blond receptionist. “I’ll be done in a minute. You have plenty of cheap cars; they won’t all be taken.”

"You!" The man in the baseball cap's face turned cold, and he reached out to touch his chest.

Just then, he looked down and saw the thin man's bulging clothes, which seemed to contain a gun.

In that instant, he suddenly realized something, turned around, and immediately ran towards the shop door.

"Well, you're actually quite smart." The thin man turned around and looked at the man in the baseball cap.

At that moment, the blonde receptionist raised the scanner in her hand. "Sir—"

A beam of light suddenly swept across her face, and then she felt a tremendous force strike her neck. Her body stiffened, she instantly lost consciousness, and fell backward.

At that moment, the man in the baseball cap had already rushed to the door.

The next instant, a beam of light shone at the entrance of the car rental shop, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the man in the baseball cap's path.

The man in the baseball cap immediately turned around and crashed into the wall beside him.

At that very moment, another beam of light shone, covering the wall.

A man with a full beard emerged from the void, quietly watching the man in the baseball cap, and smiled, "Don't run away, friend."

"Are you from the intelligence agency?" the man in the baseball cap asked hoarsely, looking down at the two men approaching.

“Who we are is not important,” the thin man also walked up from behind, smiling as he looked at the man in the baseball cap. “What is important is who should own the money in your pocket.”

The man in the baseball cap's face darkened. "Who told you where I was? Which bastard betrayed me? These ungrateful animals, I've been so good to them!"

As he spoke, he threw his briefcase aside, then leaped up and rushed toward the blond receptionist.

The skinny man and the bearded man rushed toward the handbag at the same time.

Just then, the man in the baseball cap pulled a remote control out of his pocket.

The skinny man and the bearded man paused at the same time.

boom--

A violent explosion erupted in the cramped shop, igniting a raging fire.

The closest, thin man and bearded man were simultaneously engulfed by the flames.

At that moment, the man in the baseball cap had already rushed to the wall behind him, smashed the entire wall open, and created a large hole.

Its body rolled onto the smooth ground.

The back of his clothes had been torn apart by the scorching flames, revealing his charred back.

But he quickly got up and pulled a hardware wallet about the thickness of a finger from his pocket.

Seeing that the hardware wallet was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to his feet, glanced back at the shop engulfed in flames, and sneered, "Two idiots, trying to catch me?"

After saying that, he put the hardware wallet in his pocket and slowly walked forward.

Just then, he heard a few soft sounds behind him.

Two figures enveloped in flames emerged from the raging fire behind him.

"They didn't even kill me? Two C-ranks? Are they really willing to go to such lengths to capture me?" The man in the baseball cap suddenly paused, then ran forward without hesitation.

Just then, two figures engulfed in flames rushed over from behind him, bursting forth with surging fire.

A figure vanished the instant it rushed out.

The man in the baseball cap hadn't run more than a few steps when he felt his body being obstructed. He immediately raised his hand to block in front of him.

A sharp knife emerged from the void.

Therefore, his movements paused briefly.

The next instant, a tremendous force suddenly shot out from behind, slamming down on his back.

He paused, then leaned forward and knelt on the ground with a thud, shattering the hard floorboards.

He was about to struggle when a wave of intense panic washed over him, and he forgot to speak.

At that moment, a tremendous force pressed down from behind him, directly pinning down his body.

The figure in front of him also appeared at this moment, took out a sharp knife and stabbed at his neck.

"cough--"

He coughed up blood and roared, "You two idiots, haven't you noticed something's wrong yet?"

His words startled the two figures, still shrouded in darkness.

The slender figure raised its head and looked at the surrounding crowd.

The violent explosions, collapsing buildings, and raging fires, including their brief and rapid battle and clashes in the bustling airport, seemed to have no effect on the attention of the passing crowds.

But these people naturally bypassed the burning flames and their battlefield as they walked, as if some invisible force was stirring their souls, leading them around this empty area, just like naturally bypassing a wall.

"What is this?" the thin man asked, looking at the scene with a bewildered expression.

"You think I'm the prey?" the man in the baseball cap, pinned to the ground, sneered. "Looks like you're the prey!"

boom--

At that moment, a soft sound came from beside them—the sound of a figure landing on the ground.

The blonde woman lying on the ground was the receptionist who had just fainted.

Her clothes were clean, as if the raging fire had not touched her at all.

"How could this be?" The man in the baseball cap was the first to be surprised when he saw this.

He clearly remembered that when he ran out, the receptionist was still unconscious, and the flames of the explosion had almost swallowed her figure.

How could it be like this, without a trace of fire?

At this moment, the thin man and the bearded man turned their heads and looked at the side of the receptionist.

The figure who had just been carrying the reception desk came into view.

It was an old man with white curly hair and brown-gold eyes.

The old man stood beside them, so close, yet they seemed to only just notice him.

Upon seeing the old man, the bearded man was still somewhat bewildered, but the thin man's gaze suddenly froze.

He exclaimed, "Hawk?"

“It seems you do know me,” He Ao said with a smile, quietly observing the thin man. “I can give you a chance. You do something for me, and then you can leave.”

Upon hearing this, the thin man was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, the bearded man on the other side also realized something, turned his head, and looked at the thin man, "Is that Hawke?"

"What do you want us to do?" the thin man asked in a low voice.

"Just make what you know public," He Ao said calmly as he stepped forward.

The moment he finished speaking, both the thin man and the bearded man froze.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" The bearded man took a step forward and charged at He Ao. "Others may not know your situation, but we know it very well. You think you can scare me with your ghostly tricks?"

His body unleashed terrifying power, and an invisible panic spread around him.

His talent sequence is 'Warrior', one of the strongest C-level talent sequences in terms of combat power. Even if he were a B-level, he wouldn't be without the ability to fight back, let alone a B-level who was seriously injured and almost died last night.

At that very moment, He Ao raised his hand.

The bearded man struck He Ao's palm precisely, and raging flames spread from that palm, engulfing the bearded man's body.

As the flames dissipated, a wisp of smoke drifted down, leaving behind a bone ring that emitted a faint red glow.

He Ao slowly squatted down, picked up the bone ring, and put it in his pocket.

The chilling atmosphere, like a call from hell, echoed in the silent space.

The skinny man and the man in the baseball cap both fell silent at that moment.

The man in the baseball cap was just trying to use the eerie atmosphere to scare his pursuers and see if he could find a chance to escape.

But now, he suddenly realized that something truly terrifying seemed to have appeared.

I'll ask for your votes later, around the middle of the month.
