Chapter 1053 A One-Billion-Dollar Prize for Killing John Doe!

As time went by, pieces of information were placed on the desks of various underground forces all over the world.

Most of them were about the plutonium material map. Of course, there were also some about John Doe, but all of them were old. Among them, there was no other useful information except for John Doe’s strength and descriptions of his previous battles.

Although Fang Qiu had been investigated by underground forces around the world, Fang Qiu wasn’t impacted.

Not to mention foreigners, even if the Huaxia people wanted to find information about Fang Qiu, it was absolutely impossible!

The underground forces all over the world seemed to know that, so they didn’t have high requirements for the investigation and didn’t spend too much time and energy on it, either.

In comparison, they were more concerned about where the material map had gone, who it belonged to, and whether the information on it had been deciphered or not.

“Excuse me… ” At the same time, a soldier was standing in front of a tightly guarded and hidden command room of the military base in Southern Yue, respectfully asking to report.

“Come in.” In the command room, a thin middle-aged man with gray hair and sunken eyes was sitting on a chair with his eyes half-closed.

“General.” The soldier arrived at the command platform, saying, “There’s news about X!”

“Hmm?” Suddenly opening his eyes, the middle-aged man asked, “Where?”

“In Zhongdong!” answered the soldier at once.

The middle-aged man’s face darkened, and a strong killing intent spread out from him. His eyes were filled with coldness as he said, “X, I promise this time, you can’t escape!”

“Anything else?” asked the middle-aged man.

“The name of X is John Doe. Huaxia sent him to Zhongdong in order to compete for the plutonium material map that has been sold, but John Doe is very powerful. He joined forces with Rashk’s envoy, destroying a second-rate organization called Luna in Zhongdong,” the soldier reported.

“I understand. You may leave.” The middle-aged man waved his hand.

“Excuse me.” The soldier paused and asked, “General, should we take action?”

“Hmph.” The middle-aged man snorted coldly, saying, “Do you think that the plutonium material map will eventually fall into our hands? Do you think we can compare with the five major powers?”

The soldier kept silent for a moment and said, “I mean, we attack John Doe. I know your son is…”

“That’s my personal affair,” the middle-aged man shouted angrily. “Get out of here!”

“Yes!” The soldier turned and left.

“John Doe!” After the soldier left, a grim smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face.

“I’ll cut you into pieces for killing my son!” the middle-aged man roared.

This person was none other than General of Southern Yue, Ruan Shiben, the man whose son, Ruan Changhong, had been killed by Fang Qiu the last time he reached Southern Yue!

As a General, Ruan Shiben had been blamed by top leaders for using the power of the country to chase John Doe. Therefore, in order to keep his position, he daren’t do it again. What’s more, John Doe appeared in Zhongdong this time, which was a war zone. If he sent soldiers there, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of all the countries in Zhongdong, and might even directly cause a warning and lead to war!

That was why he had cursed his soldier.

After the soldier left, Ruan Shiben took out his mobile phone as he roared, logging onto a black page of a website of underground forces. On that page, there was a sentence written in English, “World Killer List!”

First place: Lingyin (Huaxia).

Second place: Thomas (Murica).

Ruan Shiben fixed his eyes on the names of these two people, and then clicked on the first name, “Lingyin”, only to find that it couldn’t be pressed at all. Even the calling button behind the name couldn’t be pressed at all.

“He’s on a mission?” Ruan Shiben frowned.

Although he was a member of the military, he also knew very well that the ten killers on World Killer List had never had fixed contact details. The only way to contact them was to click on the calling button.

If it could be pressed, he could directly contact him.

But if not, it meant that the other party was not accepting any task currently. Perhaps he was performing another task, or he was probably on vacation.

From the beginning, Ruan Shiben came because of the first-place killer, Lingyin.

But he hadn’t expected that he couldn’t get in touch with him.

In this case, Ruan Shiben had no choice but to click on Thomas, who ranked second.

Although he ranked second, Thomas’s reputation on the world stage was no less than that of Lingyin, for he was very high-profile and didn’t look like a top killer at all. Every time he completed a difficult task, he would show off wantonly to prove his strength.

As a result, Thomas was much more famous than Lingyin in World Killer List.

However, he was somewhat weaker than Lingyin in both the difficulty and completeness of tasks, unable to shake Lingyin’s position.

Over these years, what Thomas had wanted the most was to surpass Lingyin and become the true king of killers!

However, the second place was just the second place. The most difficult tasks were almost never assigned to him. Employers would rather wait a little longer and let Lingyin take their missions.

After all, Lingyin could give them further assurances.

In this situation, Thomas was extremely unhappy. He was even reluctant to accept some middle-difficulty tasks, only accepting the hardest ones, which made him freer than other killers.

Therefore, when Ruan Shiben clicked on the calling button, the phone was connected.

“Unless you have a high enough price or a mission that can interest me, you can hang up.” A pure Murican English voice came from the other end as soon as the call was through.

Judging from it, the speaker should be a young man.

“What if I have both?” Ruan Shiben immediately replied.

“Oh?” The person on the other end of the line paused.

“500 million dollars!” Ruan Shiben said without hesitation.

“This price really makes me tempted.” A chuckle came from the other end of the line. “But I also want to know more about this tempting task you’re talking about.”

“I want you to kill someone,” Ruan Shiben said coldly, “John Doe from Huaxia!”

“Who?” A question came from the other end of the line.

“Are you afraid?” Ruan Shiben sneered and said. “It seems that I should go find Lingyin!”

“Bullshit!” Thomas was furious at once, saying, “This task indeed interested me a lot, but it doesn’t mean that I can take it immediately. You don’t know how strong John Doe is at all. 500 million dollars is not enough to attract me when I am to confront such a strong opponent.”

“What do you mean?” Ruan Shiben’s face darkened.

“One billion!” Thomas sneered and said. “As far as I know, John Doe has recently appeared in Zhongdong. The situation there is unstable. Although it is helpful for the assassination, it will also increase the difficulty. Moreover, John Doe is so powerful that no one dares to accept this task except Lingyin and me!

“Now Lingyin cannot accept tasks, and John Doe will leave Zhongdong soon. The next chance may be a year, or even ten years later.”

Ruan Shiben heard that, and his face changed completely.

He hadn’t completely expected that the second-ranked killer was so calculating.

Indeed, now it seemed that the only person he could employ was Thomas.

“My wait time is limited. Maybe one minute later, there will be a more attractive task for me. At that time, you will have no chance.” Thomas’s laughter came.

“Alright!” Ruan Shiben didn’t dare to hesitate any longer. He gritted his teeth, immediately agreed, and then said, “But I have a request!”

“What?” Thomas asked with a smile at the other end of the line.

“I want to see the result within three days!” Ruan Shiben said.

“No problem,” Thomas laughed and said. “What a coincidence. I’m in Zhongdong now. If I guess right, John Doe should be rushing to me. He will appear near me soon!”

“The deposit will be transferred to your account within an hour. As for the rest of the payment, I will transfer it to you as soon as the mission is completed.” Ruan Shiben narrowed his eyes. Thinking that John Doe would soon become a corpse, he felt extremely happy.

In Zhongdong, after leaving Yazd, Fang Qiu found a place to rest for a while and then rushed to the largest city in the local, Esfahan.

“The destruction of Luna will definitely attract the attention of underground forces all over the world.

“Judging from what the leader of Luna had said, the Truth Division should not be stupid enough to directly protect Luna in the name of exchanging the plutonium material map. It is very likely to use the excuse of protecting the subordinate forces.

“That is to say, now no one knows where the map is.

“Although many people will speculate that the material map has fallen into the hands of the Truth Division, after all, the Truth Division is the first-rate force in Zhongdong. Ordinary people daren’t inquire about their information at will. What’s more, this is the territory of the Truth Division. And words of Luna’s leader may not be real. Maybe the map is really not in his hands, but it is not in the hands of the Truth Division, either!

“In this uncertain situation, everyone can only wait and see.

“And those who are able to obtain the map will definitely not dare to take action recklessly…”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows and murmured, “It seems that if I want to make sure whether the map is in the hands of the Truth Division or not, I can only wake a sleeping wolf!

“Let’s see how the Truth Division will respond first and if there will be any slip-ups. Then, I can determine whether the map is in their hands or not!

“Okay. That’s it!” Fang Qiu nodded secretly.

The only way to test the Truth Division was to go directly to the Truth Division to investigate.

How to investigate?

The best way, of course, was to go in openly in the dark!
