Invasion of the United States

Zhou Qingfeng, having agreed to the interview with Hari, must have also checked through her phone, following the clues.

So, with a counter-strike, he "cracked open" Stock and his crew—names, photos, even vehicle information, all thoroughly exposed, plastered online for public scrutiny.

Now the hunters have become the hunted, completely overturned.

What made Stock's spine chill further was seeing Lisa staring directly at the camera in some of the photos and videos Zhou Qingfeng released. He turned sharply, glaring viciously at the two girls in the back seat.

The car cabin was dimly lit, Lisa's face was still swollen and bruised, her gaze was as cold as ice, staring back at him expressionlessly.

Stock gritted his teeth and roared, "You saw that kid, didn't you? You've been waiting all along."

His voice was low and furious, his knuckles cracking, wishing he could lunge at Lisa and punch her again.

Illegal detention and private punishment are serious crimes in the United States. Doing it secretly might have gone unnoticed, but once exposed, imprisonment is inevitable.

The other three bounty hunters in the car immediately panicked, reacting quicker than Stock. They looked at each other and without a word, pushed open the car doors and jumped out, trying to dissociate from the situation.

Stock, furious and suffocating, slammed his fist onto the seat, shouting angrily, "That kid's insane, what benefit does he gain by exposing himself like this?

We were the only ones who knew his whereabouts. Now there will be countless people coming to catch him, he has absolutely nowhere to escape."

Zhou Qingfeng's move was ruthless, not only forcing the hunters chasing him into a dead-end but also fueling the blaze, escalating the media frenzy even further.

Now, everyone worldwide is fixated on Lisa and Annie's whereabouts, and the police, under immense pressure, have to intervene, while he, this "kidnapper," is already nailed to the pillar of shame.

In the distance, the faint sound of sirens could be heard.

Stock slumped into the driver's seat, his hands trembling as he tried to light a cigarette, but his hands were too shaky. He couldn't comprehend why his prey had gone mad and decided to self-destruct?!

-----------------

Was Zhou Qingfeng mad?

No, he was incredibly calm. If you're not on M*VLEM*PYR, you're viewing a copy.

As he stood at Hari's doorstep, catching a glimpse of Stock's station wagon slowly driving by, seeing Lisa's pitiful face through the car window, he knew escape alone wouldn't work.

Bounty hunters are like sharks that smell blood, relentlessly pursuing, eventually catching up.

To shake off these pursuers, he needed either incredible mobility, like jumping onto "Holy Light I" that night and flying out of Florida;

or, he needed to muddy the waters, trapping the trackers in the mire, and escape amidst the chaos.

Thus, he decisively chose the latter. Using Hari's phone, he recorded a video condemning Stock vehemently, accusing him of the illegal detention of Lisa and Annie.

As soon as the video went online, the internet exploded, the media exhilarated, scrambling to repost, with increasingly sensational headlines:

"Wanted Criminal Condemns Bounty Hunters!" "Lisa and Annie in Dire Straits, Life and Death Unknown." "Living on the Run, 'Holy Light' President Sacrifices for Love."

The fire of public opinion was ignited, catching Stock and his team off guard. But this wasn't to save those poor girls.

Immediately afterward, he threw out a second bombshell using Hari's account.

A new video, set in a dimly lit alley in the Lloyd Community, the street light casting a long shadow behind him.

Facing the camera, his tone was calm yet provocatively indifferent: "Want the million-dollar bounty? Come catch me. I'm in Orlando."

This less-than-a-minute video was like a nuclear bomb, directly detonating the entire network, stirring up a storm. Countless people expressed their shock.

-----------------

Governor Parker was waiting for updates in his office when his assistant suddenly came in, announcing the latest progress in capturing the 'Holy Light' President.

The governor thought they had caught him or had substantial leads, ready to end the deadlock.

Unexpectedly...

The assistant turned on the TV, showing the news channel repeatedly airing Zhou Qingfeng's latest video.

The host commented exaggeratedly: "This might be the most righteous and the most arrogant wanted criminal in the history of the United States!"

Governor Parker stared dumbfounded at the screen, feeling his intellect cruelly mocked in this cat-and-mouse game, unable to comprehend.

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "This kid...is he overly arrogant? Or is he deliberately mocking me?"

It's hard to understand how someone with an FBI warrant over their head and a million-dollar bounty could dare to jump out so brazenly, with a fearless attitude for love?

Is this not self-submission, what is it?

The more Governor Parker thought about it, the angrier he got, slamming his hand on the table, shouting lowly: "This is a blatant provocation against me, against the entire law enforcement system!"

He ordered his assistant: "Immediately notify the FBI, inform Orlando Police Department, and make sure to capture this kid!"

-----------------

Xiao Jinlang was still in Miami, the higher-ups trying to solve the issue through diplomatic means, and had him stay temporarily to gather 'Electric Flight' employees.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's video, Old Xiao shivered, thinking: "It's over; this kid has started using his brain again."

When ordinary people use their brains, they are limited by the manpower, financial resources, and material resources they have, and can't make too big a fuss. Excessively bizarre actions might only create jokes and hinder themselves.

But Zhou Qingfeng is different; his action capacity is too strong, making any trouble he stirs up not small. Seeing this kid actually encouraging others to catch him...

"He wants to turn Orlando into a pot of chaos, doesn't he?!"

"Won't the residents there go crazy? Especially those street punks, bounty hunters, lower-class people, they would do anything for a million dollars, wouldn't they?"

"If something big happens, Orlando's military and police will go nuts too."

-----------------

Whether Orlando's military and police went crazy, Miami's Director Karl was already on the verge of insanity.

Zhou Qingfeng quickly released a third video, stating if Orlando residents didn't want the million-dollar bounty, he would try Miami.

"No... don't come over!"

Karl felt a terrifying chill. He had just been promoted, his seat still warm, not wanting to top the news headlines.

Miami has many immigrants, tourists, and ruthless individuals, everywhere filled with people who could stir things up. A "walking million-dollar bounty" running here would undoubtedly cause a city-wide upheaval.

Crowds surged on the streets, sirens blared nonstop, violence incidents spiked, and police and military were exhausted, plunging the city into anarchy.

Just imagining such chaos, Director Karl shivered—if anyone else said this, he'd consider it a joke. But Zhou Qingfeng was an exception...

Back then, he was just an ordinary student and stirred up a big fuss with the lottery case. Now he was targeting the FBI!

"No way, I'd rather lead a team to support Orlando than let that kid return to Miami." Karl decided decisively, planning to call Kelly for proper coordination.

Before he could dial, Orlando's mayor, police chief, and FBI head called him continuously.

The mayor straightforwardly asked, "Director Vincent, I heard you have a contact channel with the 'Holy Light' President..."

"No, no, I don't know him well." Karl flatly denied.

"Oh, we all know, Director Vincent survived the attack from the mafia officials thanks to 'Holy Light' President's rescue.

If you have contact, could you tell the president that we won't trouble him, let him go somewhere else.

Orlando is small, with only about 300,000 residents, limited budget, and insufficient police force. Didn't he say he wanted to go to Miami? We won't stop him, willing to send him off."

Director Karl was puzzled, "Has the situation deteriorated this badly? He's just one person, can't catch him?"

Orlando's mayor expressed bitterly, "If we could catch him, would we come to you for help?

All the crazies in Florida are flooding into Orlando, traffic in and out of the city almost blocked.

Some tourists find it thrilling, running here just to see what a city-wide manhunt looks like?

If we don't stop him, the city will plunge into chaos. If he's willing to leave, we'd rather pay a million dollars to get rid of him!"
