Chapter 192: Buy One Get Two

hief, who had always been very concerned about this matter, now placed it above all else. Upon returning to the tribe, he would tell everyone. The chief put away the animal skin scroll and said goodby...Both the people in the ripples and Fortune Building lobby instinctively ducked for cover when gunshots rang out, some even hiding under tables.

Immediately, the door to a private room on the second floor was flung open, and a group of men brandishing pistols burst out. They mumbled a few words in their mouths, and then a squad of people rushed down, slamming shut the main gate of Fu Yun Lou, preventing anyone from leaving.

The other group had already rushed towards the opposite bread car. After the door was smashed open, there was only a long spear inside. The rear window was wide open and the compartment was empty. The shooter had obviously escaped first.

Subsequently, all the private rooms on the second floor were surrounded. This group of people individually drove out the guests inside, determined to catch the person who assassinated Yamamoto.

After the gunshot, ripples spread. Eilyn's mission was complete, and she had already slipped away from the scene. She lowered her gaze, pretending to be terrified, but her peripheral vision remained focused on everything around her.

Suddenly she paused, then quickly raised her head and lowered it again, just in time to see the squad leader who was driving people out of the private room, standing with his head bowed before a tall man, seemingly explaining something in a low voice.

The man merely tilted his head, his gaze sweeping across the people held captive in the hall. He seemed displeased, looking at them like ants, and with a simple nod, he waved his hand, preparing to return to his private box.

And yet a ripple of emotion touched her lips. Though the man had only revealed half his face, she was certain he was Fujiki Jiro. Today, he wasn't in uniform; instead, he wore a white shirt and black pants, clearly here on private business.

Rian thought her luck was still pretty good. Yamamoto was dead, and with Fujiki thrown into the mix, things were stirred up, which actually worked in her favor to escape.

She improvised, grabbing a date pit that had been knocked to the ground during the chaos. As the man half-disappeared into the private room, she hurled it with all her might, aiming for the back of his head.

The next second, the other party directly charged into the room. Then came another wave of chaos. People upstairs even started shooting randomly in all directions because they didn't know where the enemy was; they were very panicked, and two high-ranking Japanese officers died instantly. As their subordinates, they would naturally be held accountable.

"Help me!"

"No"

"I'm from the Guangming Newspaper, you can't just kill civilians wantonly."

"Wow"

Affected by the adults' emotions, the child also burst into tears.

For a moment, all sorts of sounds mingled together, and the entire Fu Yun Lou was thrown into chaos.

Ripples hid behind a pillar, she didn't want to be hit by stray bullets. But at this moment, a man crept up from behind her and grabbed her neck, wanting to send her to meet the King of Hell.

The ripples did not shout or struggle. She raised her hand and grabbed the other person's arm, using a little force to break free. Then she quickly turned around and punched the other person in the stomach. The pain made the other person instinctively protect their belly. She then grabbed the man's collar and dragged him to a blind spot.

"Instructor Eileen also told you to silence me."

Ripple affirmed, the other's eyes only flickered before reaching for their waist, clearly preparing to complete their mission.

Ripple smiled, pulling the other person's hand over to her chest with her left hand, then clenched her right fist and delivered a punch like "hitting a bull across a mountain," striking directly at the other person's heart. Although she only used five percent of her strength, it was enough to send them to meet the King of Hell.

The man seemed to realize he had underestimated his opponent, but it was too late. His pupils dilated slowly until they lost their shine. Ripple then flashed back to the place where he had been hiding before.

At this time, the gendarmerie and Japanese troops arrived at Fuyun Building simultaneously. All the men, women, and children who were dining there, including waiters and the shopkeeper, were taken away by three military trucks. It goes without saying where they were taken. Everyone felt terrified and apprehensive.

Lian Ri was also among this group of people, her face pale and lips pressed together in silence.

As the car started slowly, she saw three corpses being carried out from Fuyun Building, each covered with a white sheet and loaded onto another vehicle. They were obviously being taken for an examination. She lowered her eyes, and at the same time, the sound of a stone mill grinding reached her ears.

Congratulations, tasker! The mission progress is 100%, completely reversing the original fate of death. You can leave the mission world at any time.

"Understood, I choose to die a natural death."

Ripples in the mind communicate with the millstone.

"Of course! But your situation is not optimistic right now."

"I have my own plans."

"It's a good thing that the assassination of high-ranking Japanese military officials took place. Why did you leak the information, making it harder for the Nationalist Party's mission and increasing Japan's vigilance This isn't worth the risk."

Unable to hold back any longer, Shiju still asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Of course, I did this for a reason. One is to test the KMT's determination in executing the plan. Currently, it seems their determination is very strong, even letting someone like me, an assistant, go after them."

Before, I gave the assassination list of Japanese people to an intelligence broker. They would naturally doubt the authenticity of the information, and no one wants to buy fake intelligence. Now that two people on the list have died, it proves the validity of this intelligence.

Next, Japanese intelligence officers will definitely be eager to find out about the peony trade. I want to lure out their intelligence officers, plug Japan's ears, and see what other shady characters are around.

What did you get from John Lee

"The time isn't right yet, you can hold onto it for a while."

"Did you come up with the idea of supplying them with weapons"

The millstone thought the tasker's courage was extraordinary.

"You could consider that."

The ripples remain unconcerned.

When they arrived at the headquarters in Hebei, China, everyone was separated and imprisoned. Once inside the dark and gloomy jail, the timid woman began to sob softly.

In another room, locked away from the men's quarters, several men in neatly tailored suits stood around. Their appearance suggested they were men of some status. They addressed the Japanese guard with...

"We are guests of Commander Fuji, you cannot treat us like this!"

“We are all prominent figures in Pingbei City. You cannot detain us without cause.”

"What the heck!"

The soldier, very impatient, smashed the railing with his rifle butt and roared for the people inside to be quiet.

The next day, newspapers on every street corner carried the story of the assassination at Fukyun Lou. The papers even included photos: guests being led away from Fukyun Lou in handcuffs and three bodies being carried out, allegedly three high-ranking Japanese military officers.

Elaine was looking at the newspaper in her hand, a puzzled expression on her face. She was sure that the assassination of Yamamoto had been successful that day, so what about the other two Could there be others involved

Thinking back to the message she'd received before, a mysterious informant named Peony who claimed to have a list of assassinated Japanese officers, it seemed their information had been sold. She needed to find out more.

When Eileen saw Instructor Jiang, she shared her guess. Instructor Jiang's face remained unchanged as he directly stated:

According to my sources, the intel that person had on peonies hasn't been used yet.is father's old subordinates. Aside from the issue of seniority, there are often conflicts in their battle tactics, strategies, and approaches. This was evident during the previous campaign to elimina...
