Such a bloody affair was carried out by Mo Ming without hesitation. After finishing, he remained unfazed, as if he had long been accustomed to it, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation. He simply said lightly, "You have some feelings for your brothers, but unfortunately, we can only be enemies in the end. I will show no mercy to my enemies, so you must die."
"Bastard! Even if I die, I will become a vengeful spirit and haunt you forever!" Demon Bear suddenly charged towards Mo Ming. However, Mo Ming moved like a startled swan and easily dodged him. Being blind, Demon Bear posed no threat at all.
With a loud crash, Demon Bear charged too quickly and missed Mo Ming, crashing directly into the wall with a violent impact that made the entire wall seem to shake.
Demon Bear collapsed to the ground, unable to move, but still sneered as he said, "Hmph! Don't think that killing me will make you safe. Our Bloodthirsty Mercenaries will hunt you down until you are dead!"
"Heh heh, saying that is pointless. If you want to become a vengeful spirit, go ahead; after all, dying at my hands won't make a difference," Mo Ming replied with a chilling smile. "As for your Bloodthirsty Mercenaries, there's no need to worry. You'll be able to reunite with them soon enough; it's been a while."
"Who... who are you?!" Demon Bear roared.
Mo Ming smiled slightly and said, "Since you're about to die, it doesn't hurt to tell you. When you meet the King of Hell later, you'll know who killed you..." He paused and casually squeezed out two words: "Asura."
"Asura... Asura..." Upon hearing this name, Demon Bear felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He repeated it countless times before finally coming to his senses. "I remember you now—the War God Asura from the battlefield of yore, the king of the 'Righteous Soul' Mercenaries. Ha ha..."
Demon Bear laughed loudly, his voice tinged with mockery. "I never expected this deal would lead me to such a freak like you. I truly regret it; my good brothers and I shouldn't have taken this job."
"Isn't it a bit too late to regret now?" Mo Ming said calmly. "Tell me who the mastermind behind this is, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make you talk."
"Dream on!" Demon Bear laughed maniacally. "We Bloodthirsty Mercenaries would never reveal our employer's identity, even if we were wiped out! Don't think you'll get any information from me!"
At these words, a fierce glint flashed in Mo Ming's eyes as he rushed forward and covered Demon Bear's mouth. Blood gushed out; it was unexpected that these guys had already prepared for certain death or they wouldn't have brought poison with them from the start.
"Haha... Asura, don't get too smug. Those people are looking for you; you won't have good days ahead..." Demon Bear tightly grasped Mo Ming's collar with both hands and let out a cold laugh. In his final moments, this massive man chose to face death with a smile.
Mo Ming slowly stood up and glanced at the corpse of the Demon Bear, saying lightly, "Did you think I didn't know who sent you to do this? Heh, actually, I figured it out long ago. I just wanted to confirm it."
Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from outside the door, very orderly. Mo Ming frowned and quickly found a place to hide. Just as he was speculating about the identity of the visitors, a familiar voice called out.
"Mo Ming, are you still there? It's Ji Yue."
Hearing Ji Yue's voice, Mo Ming peeked out and saw Ji Yue dressed in anti-terrorism gear, holding an M16, followed by a group of men dressed similarly. They were likely members of the Criminal Investigation Team.
As he stepped out, numerous dark gun barrels were aimed at him.
"Captain Ji, it's probably not good for your subordinates to point their guns at me. I'm not a criminal," Mo Ming said with a wry smile, shaking his head. He noticed Liu Dong standing in the crowd, looking at him with disgust, and waved his hand. "Liu Vice Captain, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
"Hmph." Liu Dong snorted coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense and raise your hands. You're under arrest now. We suspect you're in cahoots with these robbers. It's best not to resist; these guns are not toys."
"Put the guns away! What are you doing?" Ji Yue turned around and glared at Liu Dong. "If it weren't for Mo Ming notifying me, who would know what was happening here? Put them away!"
The members of the Police Force gradually lowered their weapons. Seeing that everyone had put their guns down, Liu Dong sighed and did the same. Ji Yue then looked around the room with satisfaction and asked, "Uh... Mo Ming, which giant did you take down?"
"Isn't it obvious? The person lying on the ground is him!" Mo Ming rolled his eyes at Ji Yue and said, "Alright, this isn't the time for chatting. Did you come barging in through the front door?"
"There were no ambushes; we didn't dare to disturb anything and climbed up from outside," Ji Yue briefly explained before asking Mo Ming, "What's our next move? What's the situation?"
Mo Ming looked frustrated. "Captain Ji, you're the team leader; it's better if you come up with an action plan."
"Uh, alright, my head is a bit confused. OK, everyone stay alert. The situation is very critical; many prominent figures in Nanhua City have been taken hostage by the robbers, including our Mayor Fu. Therefore, we must be extremely cautious and avoid engaging in a firefight recklessly."
Ji Yue thought for a moment and said, "The enemies ambushing at the main entrance will be dealt with by Liu Vice Captain and his team. Liu Vice Captain, when you get there, don’t rush to act. Wait for my signal; you can only act when I give you the go-ahead, understood?"
"Yes, I understand." Liu Dong nodded and then told the people around him, "Team Two, follow me. Keep your footsteps quiet; we don’t want to alert the enemy!"
"Mo Ming, you should be aware of the situation inside. The remaining Team One will be under your command for now." As soon as Ji Yue finished speaking, not only was everyone in Team One shocked, but Mo Ming was also taken aback.
What is this all about?
I’m not even part of your Police Force; why are you making me lead a bunch of Criminal Police? Xu Wenjie from Team One immediately questioned, "I don’t think he’s suitable to command us. Just look at him; he’s young and lacks experience…"
"Enough! This is an order!" Ji Yue cut him off before he could finish and emphasized again, "I do not want anyone thinking they can disobey orders. If anyone makes a mistake, they will be immediately expelled from the team!"
In fact, Ji Yue didn’t fully understand why she had made such a decision; she just had a feeling that Mo Ming could manage this team better and make them braver and more formidable.
"Alright, Captain, we will strictly obey orders."
Not giving Mo Ming a chance to refuse, Ji Yue said, "The situation is urgent; there’s no time for lengthy discussions. I hope you can quickly assign tasks and lead us to resolve the hostage situation."
"Uh…" It was clear that this was forcing him into a tough spot. However, Ji Yue was right; time was of the essence. Mo Ming did not oppose and nodded in agreement. "Okay then, time is tight. Let me explain the current situation and briefly outline how we should proceed."
In the grand hall of the Phoenix Grand Hotel, nearly all the prominent figures of Nanhua City were present. They were lining up, one after another, approaching a laptop watched by two Black men, quickly tapping on the keyboard before exiting with worried expressions.
"Next person, Miss Su, please!"
When Tang Dafa, the head of Feiteng Group in Nanhua City, stepped down, the team leader looked at Su Xiuwen with calm yet fierce eyes and coldly said, "I hope Miss Su will cooperate with us; otherwise, I cannot guarantee the consequences, especially since Miss Su is so alluring."
"Wenwen, hurry and give him the money; after all, staying alive is the most important thing," Murong Lian said anxiously, worried that something evil might happen to Su Xiuwen. She nervously grasped her hand tightly.
"Don't worry; I know what I'm doing," Su Xiuwen reassured Murong Lian with a gentle smile. Despite knowing that Shang Xige was nearby, she still felt uncertain and a bit anxious.
Murong Lian nodded and released her hand, remaining silent with pursed lips and eyes filled with concern.
The team leader impatiently urged, "Hurry up; I'm losing my patience."
"Alright, why are you in such a hurry? I'm not refusing to give you money!" Su Xiuwen retorted impatiently as she moved gracefully toward the computer. She quickly entered her account number and password, inputting the required amount before pressing the confirm button.
"Very good; Miss Su is quite sensible," the team leader nodded in satisfaction and then pointed at Murong Lian. "You're the last one; I don't need to say anything else, Miss Murong."
Upon hearing this, she involuntarily trembled, her face filled with fear as she struggled to face the situation. Having lived under Murong Wei's protection her entire life, she had never encountered anything like this. The fear caused a tightness in her chest that made it hard to breathe.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down proved difficult; she found it challenging even to walk and was unable to move for a long time. In this state, her anxiety only intensified.
She was so fragile that even a slight crisis could push her nerves to the brink of collapse. It should have been a simple matter of just transferring money to the other party to avoid any trouble, but she felt scared.
"Miss Murong, what are you thinking? Why is there no response? Do you want me to invite you over in another way?" The captain squinted his eyes, signaling the people beside him to take action.
"Ah!"
Murong Lian saw two men in black approaching her and gasped in fear, instinctively stepping back and turning to run, only to find more men in black surrounding her from behind.
"Bastard, don't let your underlings touch her!" At this moment, only Fu Meng had the courage to speak up. He tried to rush forward but was blocked by two men in black. No matter how much Fu Meng struggled, he couldn't break through.
"Don't touch her!" Su Xiuwen was also furious.
The captain scoffed coldly, "This is my territory; I make the decisions here. If you don't cooperate, it won't matter what you say! I told you, I only seek money and don't want to hurt anyone. If you don't pay up, I'll have to resort to extreme measures."
"Get moving!" The captain grinned maliciously. "Bring Miss Murong to the computer."
"Don't... don't touch me." As the two men in black grabbed Murong Lian's arms, she shook wildly in panic, leaving the two men at a loss for what to do.
