Chapter 698: Upheaval

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In this world, the hardest enemies to deal with were those who God sided with.

A strong or a smart man could be defeated, but there was no way to defeat a lucky guy.

Such people could always escape the jaws of danger and anything you did to them would end up benefiting them.

It was similar to what would happen to the main character in those novels.

Dentist felt that his luck had deserted him since the target had been captured and misfortunes occurred one after the other.

This made him afraid.

He had undergone long and rigorous training, but this hadn’t made him capable of defeating someone who was protected by God.

“What nonsensical things are you saying?” the brown-haired man scolded as he turned the boat around to pick up Gatlin.

“You haven’t seen what I have experienced… You don’t know what it’s like to see holes suddenly appear in the road time after time as I was driving. You also don’t know how I felt when Governor was hit by a runaway van.”

Dentist’s mouth twitched and then he shouted, “Look, Gatlin fell into the sea twice…! Why? How can there be so many coincidences?”

“Yes, they are coincidences. We will complete the mission soon,” the brown-haired man said in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Ha! These coincidences will happen again. Do you believe it?” Dentist asked angrily.

“We will see when the time comes.” The brown-haired man didn’t take it seriously. Then, he looked at the sea, his face changed drastically, and he blurted, “Sh*t.”

Capoeira, the South American, had noticed it earlier than him and had an even worse looking expression.

They saw Gatlin screaming in horror and struggling.

The water around him seemed to be boiling as if it was violently agitated by something.

The culprits only showed their dorsal fins occasionally.

They were sharks!

“Hurry up! Hurry!” Capoeira kept on urging.

The speed of the boat was 60 knots. Due to the high speed, they traveled a large distance past Gatlin after Gatlin fell overboard.

To turn the boat back to its original spot would take at least three minutes.

These three minutes decided the fate of Gatlin.

As they rushed back, a few sharks took turns attacking Gatlin.

They bore down on him repeatedly like charging cavalry.

Fresh blood stained the sea red.

The blood was from Gatlin as well as from the whale shark that was hit earlier.

“Catch it and come up!” Capoeira threw a lifebuoy across.

The lifebuoy fell in front of Gatlin. He stretched out his hand, but was too weak to hold on to it. Finally, he waved feebly and was dragged down by a shark.

“Damn, damn, damn bastards!” With bloodshot eyes, Capoeira continuously fired his pistol into the sea.

Although Gatlin wasn’t a likeable person, he didn’t deserve to die here at this time.

“Complete the mission? Can we complete the mission safely? Governor and Gatlin are gone…” Dentist was hysterical.

“What a load of crap! If you keep on jabbering, I will kill you first. Shut up and sit there quietly. You can resign when we get back!” berated the brown-haired man.

Ren Baqian looked at Dentist with amusement. This fellow was frightened by his own imagination.

Unfortunately, Ren Baqian wasn’t blessed by God, but was more like a jinx.

Furthermore, these people were afflicted with bad luck because of him.

However, he was happy to see them in such a miserable state.

His only hope was that the boat wouldn’t encounter a mishap.

He had returned for a short time and needed to stay for at least one and a half days before going back.

If this boat met with any mishaps, he would suffer too.

The question now was how to untie himself. This group of people did a professional job of tying him. Both his hands were tied behind him, his thumbs were locked together, and he totally couldn’t exert any force.

Furthermore, his arms and legs were tied tightly with nylon ropes that were as thick as a thumb.

Golden Spear, cut the rope behind me, Ren Baqian commanded silently.

Although he was pissed off at these two ingrates, he could only depend on them now.

Soon after, he felt his thumbs loosen.

Ren Baqian breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said, Well done—you didn’t fail me this time.

Also untie the ropes on my legs and arms.

Ren Baqian didn’t feel the ropes being cut, but they were loosened.

Capoeira immediately detected this change, took out his gun, and aimed at Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian propped his palms on the ground and launched a kick at Capoeira’s head.

Pow!

The whole boat sank downward as the neck of the South American sank into his chest, causing him to die instantly.

This change was so sudden that the other two couldn’t respond. They saw Capoeira suddenly get shorter as a person seemed to get stacked on top of his head.

The brown-haired man was about to pick up the gun beside him when Ren Baqian appeared next to him in a flash and stamped on his palm.

“Owwwww!” the brown-haired man howled miserably.

His entire palm was smashed by this action.

Ren Baqian placed five fingers on the brown-haired man’s head, lifted him up, smiled kindly, and explained, “Your head will crack like an egg if I exert a little more force, so you better keep quiet like him. Sound good?”

Dentist reached for his gun when Ren Baqian burst into violent action, but quickly retracted his hand. His opponent was too fast. In fact, he was unbelievably fast for a human.

Dentist didn’t even see Ren Baqian’s shadow when Ren Baqian was already on top of Capoeira’s head and wondered whether the other party was using magic.

Dentist was quite sure that he couldn’t draw his gun faster than his opponent. Furthermore, the opponent was blessed by God. The fate of Gatlin clearly explained it; he was on the boat, yet died in such a strange way.

This made him fear Ren Baqian from the bottom of his heart.

Ren Baqian saw the fear in the eyes of the brown-haired man and gently put him back in his seat. He even patted him on the head as if he was pacifying a pet.

“Go to the appointed place now. Where are you going to take me?” Ren Baqian suddenly changed his mind when something popped up in his thoughts.

This situation had exposed a big flaw regarding him and the winged cavalry.

He was vulnerable to these types of concealed weapons whenever he was careless.

If he were to go back and tell them that he overpowered his captors after waking up, they would know about his vulnerability and belittle him.

He might as well come up with a story that he intentionally got captured in order to capture the people behind the scenes and take revenge on them.

This was also in line with his self-created image of seeking revenge for the smallest grievances.

The mind of the brown-haired man became locked in a mental struggle.

If he were to reject Ren Baqian, he would certainly die and fail the mission. If he were to agree, he would become a traitor.

However, there were many people at the rendezvous point, so they might be able to capture Ren Baqian again.

In that case, he could atone for his mistakes.

In China, this was known as beating someone at their own game.

“I see,” the brown-haired man said while holding his right hand. “A submarine is waiting for us. It will transport you to the base.”

“Great! I like obedient children.” Ren Baqian laughed. He threw all the weapons overboard and sat in the boat while enjoying the sea breeze. The base? Was this the base in Japan?

…

At the Messier 87 department, the scene was chaotic.

Even Yang Sen found it hard to believe that Ren Baqian had been abducted.

Those fellows were so powerful, yet they were subdued after being hit with small anaesthetic pellets fired by a few people.

This was very baffling.

“He must be saved at any cost!” Yang Sen gritted his teeth. No matter what, he must not let Ren Baqian fall into the hands of the other party.

When he called his superiors, they were on the same wavelength as him. After that, he quickly arranged the required manpower.

The most important thing was to find out where Ren Baqian was headed.

“Contact Shen Feng to inform those cavemen at the villa. Although those people are like a bunch of crazy fellows from a primitive society, their martial arts prowess is useful at a time like this.

In private, they were known as men from paradise, which was shortened to cavemen. Many people called them cavemen from the mountains.

A moment later, turmoil erupted in the villa. The lady boss had been captured. If the empress were to find out, it would be disastrous.

They didn’t forget how the empress brought Ren Baqian along when they fought their way to Great Xia.

They had to snatch the lady boss back.

“Who did this? Kill them!”

“Kill them!”

“Where’s my saber?”

“Bring out all the sabers!”

“Also bring out my leather armor!”
