Strongest Soldier King

Chapter 244: Pursuit at the Airport



The embassy is a permanent diplomatic mission sent by one country to the capital of another with which it has diplomatic relations, representing the interests of the entire nation and being responsible for bilateral relations comprehensively. An embassy is also considered the territory of that nation, sanctified and inviolable. With the assassin hidden inside the embassy, the Ba Country government couldn't investigate, they had to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels, but that process would be very lengthy. Since the assassin was able to enter the embassy, it indicated that he had a legitimate and legal reason and identity, making it difficult to handle through official channels. After signaling the staff to leave, Luo Zheng's face grew stern as he pondered deeply.

With the assassin hidden inside the embassy, it was problematic not only for Ba Country to intervene directly, but also for them to take action themselves. It wouldn't be long before the assassin could safely leave the country, and locating him afterwards would be even harder. Luo Zheng grew curious about the identity the assassin used to infiltrate the embassy. After some thought, he decided to consult Ghost Hand.

Pushing open the door to Ghost Hand's room and briefly explaining the situation, Ghost Hand was also taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Many of the Reincarnation Organization's assassins are former special agents and military personnel, with some still in active duty. Maybe that assassin has an active special agent status. If that's the case, we can't approach him."

The situation became complicated, and Luo Zheng was unwilling to let it go just like that. He contemplated a strategy. At that moment, Lan Xue and others came over and after hearing Luo Zheng's explanation, also fell into deep thought. After a while, Lan Xue asked, "Is there any way to infiltrate and carry out an assassination? If not, what about a long-distance sniper attack?"

"That bastard has to leave eventually. We'll just wait him out here, and as soon as he comes out, we'll have our chance to strike, how about that?" Ghost Hand looked at Ghost Hand, who was the most familiar with the Reincarnation Killer Organization and held the highest military rank.

"It's no use, assassins are not soldiers. They might be less capable on a battlefield, but when it comes to concealment, they are endlessly inventive. A simple disguise would make him unrecognizable. If he is an active agent, he could even leave the country using a special identity through special channels, which we cannot block. There's a flight tonight to Sam Country," Ghost Hand said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Lan Xue immediately caught on and nodded, saying, "That makes sense, we could give it a try. The assassin doesn't know that we've tracked him down. Right now, he's hiding in the embassy, sleeping, waiting for tonight's flight to leave. We'll disguise ourselves and head to the airport first to find an opportunity to strike."

Luo Zheng's eyes brightened, and seeing Ghost Hand nod, he said, "Then let's do it. I bet Ett would also be affected if the assassin leaves. The downfall of Wata has largely been caused by the Reincarnation Killers. If we kill the assassin, Ett's prestige might be boosted, and he might even be able to reestablish the Wata Guerrilla. Ett is a smart man who understands the art of sacrifice, he will definitely return."

"Let's settle on that then. There's also a flight returning to our country tonight, an hour after the Sam Country flight. Eliminate the assassin, and we go home. You all get ready, I'll arrange for the make-up, weapons, and tickets. Let's meet at the dining hall in ten minutes and head out after dinner," Ghost Hand finalized as everyone agreed.

Everyone went back to their rooms to gather their belongings and make preparations. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the dining hall. Entering a private room, the table was laden with an assortment of weapons and clothing items. The weapons were all pistols, suitable for close combat, one magazine each, adequate for one assassin without the need for excessive ammunition. "The weapons are provided by the embassy. Use them up and dispose of them appropriately. Don't bring them on the plane. Now let's get disguised," Ghost Hand instructed.

"Understood." Everyone agreed, each taking a pistol, conducting a brief check, then fastening it to their waists. Luo Zheng picked up a sports jacket and put it on, donning a cap and a pair of oversized toad sunglasses to cover his face. Ghost Hand immediately suggested, "There's limited props, I recommend you wear student attire."

"Youth is also trouble," Luo Zheng said with a laugh, tossing the sports jacket to Ghost Hand, removing the toad sunglasses, and picking up a Ba Country University uniform to wear, disguising himself as a foreign student. With a wig on, he really did look the part.

By this time, the others had also disguised themselves. The Drunkard was posing as a successful businessman, Ghost Hand was wearing rimmed glasses, playing the part of a technician, and Snow Leopard, with his sturdy and tall physique, dressed as an engineer. Mountain Eagle was acting as Drunkard's assistant. According to Drunkard's idea, he hoped Lan Xue would dress as a secretary, but seeing that Lan Xue had chosen to wear a Ba Country University uniform, he said no more.

"Guys, do we look like students?" Luo Zheng asked proudly, with a smile at the Drunkard.

"Absolutely, you look exactly like real students, like a golden boy and a jade girl, international students deeply in love," laughed Ghost Hand.

Lan Xue glared at Ghost Hand, who quickly withdrew, noticing that Lan Xue was not angry and realizing what his team leader was thinking. He looked towards the Drunkard with a proud shake of his head, knowing that Ghost Hand was implying Drunkard had no chance. The Drunkard wasn't upset either and signaled everyone to move quickly.

After everyone finished changing, the Drunkard had the staff bring food. They all ate well and headed to the embassy's underground garage, where someone had already started the van, waiting to drive them out of the garage. They quickly got onto the highway and reached the airport in fifteen minutes.

The airport wasn't huge. Luo Zheng started searching the area and didn't see any people from Ett. When the van parked, everyone got out and spread out. Luo Zheng had only taken a few steps when he felt someone linking arms with him. He was startled to see it was Lan Xue, and he smiled affectionately.

"What are you looking at? If we're going to disguise ourselves, we need to make it convincing," Lan Xue chided, glaring at Luo Zheng.

"Right, we don't even need to pretend, we're naturally convincing." Luo Zheng said with a cheeky grin.

Lan Xue didn't object, and the two walked forward into the terminal. They looked around without spotting their target. The Drunkard discreetly signaled, and everyone scattered to continue their search—no sign of the target at the ticket exchange, the security checkpoint, or the main hall. They began searching around the small shops surrounding the hall.

A few minutes later, they tacitly regrouped back in the hall, each shaking their heads secretly. The Drunkard's expression darkened and he signaled everyone to check in and get their boarding passes. If they were to board a plane and leave, there were two essential places to go: one was the general waiting hall, and the other was the advanced membership lounge.

After everyone dispersed and got their boarding passes, they walked through the first-class cabin passage through security. Everyone had passports, of course, all under aliases, and smoothly passed through customs. They reached the first-class lounge to wait but still didn't see the target. The Drunkard looked at the three subordinates who had arrived early to blend in with the crowd, and they secretly shook their heads. There were still forty minutes until the Sam Country flight took off, and boarding would start in ten minutes. The Drunkard's face fell, and he said in a low voice, "Lan Xue, take your people to the economy class waiting hall. I'll stay here. We must eliminate him."
