Chapter 360 Purpose (4/4)
Hearing that, Yang Chen smiled slightly, raised the gun he grabbed, aimed it at the lead captain, "Sorry, someone said that I no longer need you!"
"Oh! Shade!" The lead captain looked at the dark gun barrel and couldn't help but curse, completely flustered, shouting, "I'll talk! I'll talk! He has no idea who issued this mission, it's a completely covert transaction, except for me knowing some details, they know nothing! You have to believe me! As long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything!"
In an instant, this captain sold out his team members.
These international fragmented organizations are just banding together to make a living, there's no loyalty to speak of.
To save one's life, pushing one's own people out to take a bullet is quite normal.
Hearing this, Yang Chen knew his plan had worked.
This kind of internal betrayal tactic works well, especially at the critical moment of life and death, with some pressure applied, it almost always succeeds.
Seeing this, the person immediately shouted, "Shade! Fake you! How can you treat me like this? Last time you got in trouble in Bei Hai Country, I was the one who covered for you!"
"Shade! Just shut up! Instead of shouting these, you'd better think about covering your wound and living a bit longer!"
Injuries like this, especially arterial cuts caused by bullets, are very hard to repair. If not sent to the hospital in time, dying from excessive blood loss is just a matter of time.
Yang Chen coldly smiled, pointed at the lead captain, and said, "If you don't talk, I can make you end up like him!"
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Of course, I'll talk!" The lead captain hurriedly said, "Oh, Shade! I was tricked, I thought from the beginning, how could it be a simple task, they equipped us with such sophisticated gear and offered such a high reward! Shade! I just knew it wasn't a good thing!"
Yang Chen quietly looked at the lead captain.
"Previously, a contact reached out to us, you know these contacts, they're all through the internet, like our agents, they introduce jobs to us, but we don't even know who they are or what they look like. He said there was a good job, with great pay, just needed to take out two people, no big problems. I believed it at the time, but later I found out, the person who assigned us the task was an A-kill level figure. I regretted it then, but they repeatedly assured me there'd be no issues, such an easy job, so I believed them."
Yang Chen frowned.
According to this A-kill information, it's no one but Lizard Eye.
"Later, when I saw such advanced equipment, I knew it was a trap! But the other party is an A-kill level person, we didn't dare refuse, so we could only bite the bullet and carry out the mission."
Yang Chen frowned and said, "Say something useful! How did you get my information?"
"It was the mission issuer who contacted us directly!"
Yang Chen stared at him, "What kind of contact method?"
"A small receiver, but we destroyed it after use."
Yang Chen frowned deeply, glaring at the lead captain with a cold glint in his eyes.
Sensing Yang Chen's killing intent, the lead captain immediately added, "I have more, I have other ways to contact them, just let me go, and I'll give you the receiver!"
Yang Chen laughed coldly, straightened up, and fired a shot.
Bam!
Then, Yang Chen glanced at another person with the corner of his eye and also sent him on his way.
Ye Xin frowned and said, "Aren't you interested in finding that person through his contact method?"
Yang Chen sneered, "They don't have any contact methods left!"
Ye Xin furrowed her brow, "Although I suspect that person might be lying too, don't you think it's likely they have a post-mission communication tool, otherwise, how would they know if the mission is complete?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "That's impossible. Their purpose is simple, they're very cautious. He would never leave any trace, plus the person who set up the mission wasn't really trying to kill us."
"What do you mean?" Ye Xin frowned, staring at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled slightly, "His purpose is probably to test our strength!"
"Test?" Ye Xin couldn't see that these people with such sophisticated equipment were just for testing.
Yang Chen squatted down, pulled open a man's nape, letting her see a tattoo.
Seeing this tattoo, Ye Xin couldn't help but frown, "Western Jungle?"
"You know this organization?" Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin with some surprise.
Ye Xin nodded, "Recently there was a case related to the Western Jungle."
Yang Chen immediately thought of that West Suburb case, quickly changing the topic, "Yes, members of this organization are mostly D-level or C-level, and even C-level is rare. Even with sophisticated equipment, they're just slightly better among the C-level, but not much use. The other side probably already knows our identities, so they just want to test us with these people. If they kill us, great, if they fail, they also get a rough understanding of our strength."
"What is it for?" asked Ye Xin.
Yang Chen glanced at her and laughed, "It's to execute his next plan!"
"Alright, I'll have Zhao Shisan come with people to clean up here, let's go rest for now!" Yang Chen could also see something, feeling that Ye Xin's family seemed to be around, so it's better to rest early.
Ye Xin didn't ask much, nodded, and left with Yang Chen.
After returning to the room, Yang Chen called Zhao Shisan, asking him to bring people to clean up, and collect the equipment to hide in the martial arts hall for future use.
Leaning on the headboard, Yang Chen thought, it's probably best to hurry back as soon as possible.
He's now pretty sure that the person behind the task is Lizard Eye.
Combining the information from Meng Po and what the lead captain said, Yang Chen is quite certain, it's Lizard Eye testing their strength.
If Lizard Eye feels threatened, he may cunningly flee immediately, making it hard to track him down.
Now is the best time to strike while the iron is hot.
And there's the Western Jungle.
Lately, the Western Jungle has been quite active within Flame Country!
In Yang Chen's opinion, organizations like Western Jungle are just minor, insignificant groups, easy to eliminate with just a gesture.
But ironically, such a small organization that even Yang Chen doesn't regard highly, appears exceptionally active.
"An advance party?" Yang Chen couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"I really don't know who's supporting you from the shadows! But... no matter how powerful the forces behind you are, you're still weak. Since you've provoked a tiger, you should know that you might get devoured by it!"
Having finished speaking, a cold glint shone in Yang Chen's eyes...
