Think tank centre.

“Commander Ye, so what’s your decision?” The King of Eternal Darkness called again.

Ye Feng’s breathing was somewhat urgent, it was obvious how conflicted he was inside. We’re talking about over 10,000 lives! But if he let Zhan Jing off, the Federation would probably suffer a huge loss.

Digital currencies had specific codes and these codes were very complicated to the point that even the Federal’s control center was unable to control them fully and prevent misappropriation.

He understood within a short few minutes that these criminals from the City of Sin weren’t targeting this small sum of money from the Horizon Building. They wanted to take advantage of the central bank’s re-connection and use the main point of contact such as this establishment to steal the digital currency from the control centre of the central bank.

It was highly possible that this method of stealing was to retrieve all of the deposits and cash collaterals that the Horizon Building had stored in the Federal central bank. This was an astronomical amount! Ye Feng knew that the Horizon Building has the backing of an extremely big family and the wealth of his family was the true target of the City of Sin.

But did he have a choice?

“How are you going to guarantee not to hurt any of the hostages?” Ye Feng asked rigidly.

The King of Eternal Darkness laughed like he was in a very good mood. “No guarantee! But do you have a choice, huh? Please go to your window, Commander Ye.”

Ye Feng paused and instinctively thought that this was a trap but right after that, there was a loud rumble and the entire Horizon Building shook.

Ye Feng ran toward the window immediately and saw flames bursting out from the middle section of the building, followed up countless broken pieces of walls, glasses and even... human limbs.

“Bastard! Stop that!” Ye Feng’s heart was shuddering. He had faced numerous enemies but this was the first time he had encountered such a challenging situation.

“Such beautiful fireworks! A pity it wasn’t night time, otherwise, the fireworks would be even more gorgeous, don’t you think, Commander Ye?” The King of Eternal Darkness chuckled.

“Hahahaha!” On the other side, Zhan Jing was laughing hysterically too. He knew that Ye Feng had no other choice but to cooperate.

“Alright, we’ll retreat! But...”

The King of Eternal Darkness’ voice turned ice cold. “There are no buts. Let Zhan Jing go immediately and leave the think tank centre. You guys can just keep watch outside, it doesn’t really matter.”

Ye Feng’s chest was moving up and down violently. He really wanted to punch Zhan Jing in the head, however, it was impossible for him to do that now. The craftiness and strength of these criminals had completely exceeded what they had anticipated.

“Let him go.” Ye Feng gritted his teeth and ordered his men reluctantly.

Zhan Jing’s handcuffs and controls were taken off and he grinned widely at Ye Feng. He pointed him at the bloodstain that he got from when he beat him up just now as they walked outside.

Ye Feng took a deep breath. The biggest problem right now was that he couldn’t contact support at all, he already told his subordinates to leave quietly and think of a way to contact them, but he still didn’t know whether they managed to or not.

There were simply too many terrorists here which were far more than he expected. The police of Zi Luo City wouldn’t be able to deal with this level of terrorists, what they needed was an army. But would they be able to deploy an army easily?

Zhan Jing didn’t turn to look at Ye Feng anymore, he walked straight to the control centre of the think tank like there was nobody around him and began his operation.

“The central bank is connected, keep the communication stable, I will begin the harvesting. Hehehehe.” He placed his communication device back on proudly and connected to his second line.

“How long do you need?” The King of Eternal Darkness’ voice traveled through the receiver.

“Not long, I’ve already planted a seed inside just now and the connection was done on its own. According to the original plan, I just need another minute.”

“Alright, everyone get ready to retreat.”

“Interfere with the satellite signals and descend the invisible battleship. People of the City of Sin, I am your king, the King of Eternal Darkness. All members, prepare to retreat this very moment, stick to the original plan.”

The skies of Zi Luo City fluctuated until it was slightly distorted. Then, three surveillance satellites suddenly encountered an extremely strong electromagnetic signal interference, stopping them almost instantly.

In the distorted sky, a black battleship appeared over one kilometer above Zi Luo City. There were flames spewing out from its back as it descended swiftly and landed directly on the roof of Horizon Building.

“Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!”

The metal glasses in the Horizon Building were shattered into pieces and many figures launched upward amidst the luminous flames from the mechas, advancing toward the roof of the Horizon Building.

Ye Feng could see this through the glass. Various figures in small-sized mechas went past the windows and were now heading straight for the roof.

One could tell that from the equipment of these terrorists, they were not inferior to the Valiant Dragon Special Forces. However, his own people didn’t dare to move at all; they were afraid that the innocents would be harmed if they acted against the terrorists.

From the start of the operation to controlling the situation, the criminals of the City of Sin didn’t really have much time for the entire process. It was obvious that everything went according to their plan, including their plan to entice the enemy.

A minute flew by. Their next plan was to loot the astronomical sum of money from the bank and what scared him the most was that he had no idea if these people would still bomb the building after everything is done. There were over 10,000 lives here and nobody would be able to take responsibility for the deaths of these people.

There was no doubt that the intelligence unit had failed but as the commander of this operation, he was also responsible for it. Most importantly, all these responsibilities were nothing, the most important thing at this moment was the lives of these people!

For the first time in his life, Ye Feng felt so powerless. No matter how strong he was, there was nothing he could do now.

Zhan Jing shook his head and waited there. He already knew from the start that this would be a success, they already had some of their people in the Federal’s intelligence unit after all. Furthermore, the chief security of this Horizon Building was also one of their own. Otherwise, how did they manage to bring in so many explosives?

All the preparation began two years back when the Horizon Building was in construction and their target was the family backing it up.

The criminal operations of the City of Sins had always been a crushing blow. When they’re mobilized, it would certainly be completed in an instant.

The entire operation this time took only half an hour to complete but the number of resources they mobilized was huge too. It was easier said than done to isolate all the signals from the Horizon Building, infiltrate the military’s signals and block the satellite. But they were well-prepared and compared to the astronomical amount of money they reaped, putting in so much effort was nothing.

As to whether or not they would bomb the Horizon Building? The answer was, obviously, no. The City of Sin was insane but they wouldn’t impulsively provoke the Federation completely. The Federation had some terrifying people in there and if they were provoked, the City of Sin wouldn’t be able to bear that responsibility.

But the bombs were real because it takes time to defuse it and they would have to perform an inspection too. They needed something more important for the Federal’s forces to do instead of chasing them.

Zhan Jing’s heart was filled with satisfaction at this moment. In fact, as a master of mind control, he wasn’t very interested in money at all. He simply liked the process and feeling that everything was under his control. That sense of achievement was incomparable with anything else.

“Di...” The transfer was completed.

A small piece of module came out of the system and Zhan Jing pinched it between his fingers.
