"Theft only applies when it's committed against humans. It doesn't apply to anti-human ETO elements like you. Anything excessive done to people like you is an act of justice," Yamamoto replied righteously.
Seto shook his head, signaling Yamamoto not to waste any more time.
"Forget him. Let's keep moving."
"What are you talking about? How could I possibly be ETO? Stop!"
Although he had no idea what was going on or why he had suddenly become an anti-human element, Matsuda still rushed forward and argued with the two men.
"Get lost!"
Yamamoto kicked Matsuda to the ground. Matsuda was rather short, while Yamamoto stood a head taller and had a much stronger build.
Yamamoto pointed at Matsuda on the ground and berated him. "You think we'd believe your nonsense? The emergency wanted notice for your escape from the U.S. military base has been posted all over the internet! Every channel on TV is broadcasting your wanted notice. Matsuda, be smart. If I were you, I'd immediately find somewhere deserted to hide and pray no one finds me!"
It was both an insult and a warning. As Matsuda's neighbor for many years, Yamamoto had already done all he could.
As if remembering something, Yamamoto took a crumpled letter from his pocket and tossed it to Matsuda.
"Oh, right. Kamiko left you a letter."
Hearing that it was a letter from his wife, Matsuda hurriedly picked it up and read it.
Its general meaning was that, for the sake of their child, she had decided to take the child away from him, their anti-human father, and go somewhere he would never be able to find them to begin a new life.
It could be said that Matsuda's home was truly gone.
"No... no! Where did Kamiko go?!"
Matsuda got to his feet and grabbed Yamamoto's arm.
Yamamoto answered impatiently, "Who knows? Get lost while you still have time."
"I-I can give you money..."
As if he had thought of something, Matsuda hurriedly picked up the bag of money from the ground and opened it for them.
Yamamoto and Seto's gazes were instantly drawn to the green U.S. dollars inside the bag.
"Look, this is cash, all U.S. dollars. As long as you tell me where Kamiko went... Agh!"
Matsuda tried to coax them along, but before he could finish, a group of people suddenly rushed out from around several corners and easily pinned him to the ground.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
No matter how Matsuda struggled, he could not break free. After all, the weight of six grown men was pressing down on him.
Seto and Yamamoto had been about to say something, but they shut their mouths when the other party showed their credentials.
They were all plainclothes police officers, ordered to arrest Matsuda, an ETO element.
"Reporting in: the ETO element has been captured. No casualties."
"Okamoto, hand over the bag of money this ETO element was carrying to a nearby bank. They won't be able to recover the loans they gave this ETO element now, so hopefully they can recoup at least some of their losses."
"Understood. I'll drop it off on the way."
Okamoto cast Matsuda a disgusted glance and ended the mission report.
"I'm not ETO! I'm not ETO! I'm not..."
Matsuda, now under arrest, seemed to have suffered a severe mental blow and kept repeating meaningless words.
After receiving the report from his colleague, the CIA agent informed Lin Feng of the outcome.
The CIA agent hesitated for a moment before asking Lin Feng.
"Revenge has been taken, but do you really not plan to do anything about the embezzled insurance money? Public opinion hopes you'll intervene."
Lin Feng sneered. "I'm not some incorruptible magistrate, so why should I care? What do I owe them? I, Wallfacer Feng Taylor, have always enjoyed telling self-righteous people no! Get the hell out of my sight!"
Public opinion? That was what he feared least! A bunch of nobodies wanted to tell him what to do?
In the Three-Body Game, the ETO members watched everything Lin Feng had done.
"Why do I keep feeling that Feng Taylor looks more like ETO than we do?"
"Same here. I have a similar feeling."
The ETO members were not surprised by what Lin Feng had done, but the decisiveness and ruthlessness with which he carried it out sent a chill through them.
Compared with them, Lin Feng seemed more like an anti-human element.
Mozi shook his head and sneered. "It's an act. He's using his words and actions to mislead us. A Wallfacer cannot become ETO, just as we cannot become Wallfacers."
"How is the Wallbreaker work progressing?" Qin Shi Huang asked.
"We still lack some crucial evidence. Although Feng Taylor finally exposed a flaw because of his old habit, we still can't be one hundred percent certain that it reflects his true intentions."
King Arthur said angrily, "Then why did you blame us before? I thought you were already prepared to break him."
Mozi glared at King Arthur.
"What do you know? After Feng Taylor soaked in the hot spring, he was extremely relaxed and no longer as vigilant as usual. If that damned interloper hadn't interfered, we might have gathered crucial evidence from the conversation between Feng Taylor and his team's experts and formally entered the Wallbreaking stage."
"It was all that interloper's fault! Why did he have to interfere?!"
Speaking of the interloper Matsuda, Mozi gritted his teeth as well. If Matsuda had not fired that shot, they might have overheard something crucial.
King Arthur was unconvinced.
"If you ask me, your Wallbreaker work is completely unnecessary. We should just kill Feng Taylor directly and stop worrying about whether to break him or not. It's nothing but a waste of time. As long as Feng Taylor dies, no matter what plans remain in his head or whether they can threaten the Lord and the organization, he can only take them into his grave."
Mozi sneered and challenged him. "Heh, assassination. Easy for you to say. How exactly do you plan to deal with the CIA and the United States' other intelligence agencies?"
"Why would I need to defeat them? Assassination is simple. Feng Taylor is the only one we need to deal with. Especially now that he's running around everywhere, killing him is even easier."
"Give an example. Don't just brag. I can brag too," Mozi said.
King Arthur said, "For instance, plant explosives on the runway at the airport where he'll land on his return trip. The moment the plane touches down, it'll be a spectacular fireworks display."
"Many planes land at airports every day. How will you ensure you hit the plane Feng Taylor is on?"
"Strap bombs to a remote-controlled car. Have someone infiltrate the area near the airport runway and lie in wait there. Before Feng Taylor's plane lands, it will inevitably contact the airport control tower. Send someone to infiltrate the tower. Once they receive the landing request for Feng Taylor's plane, use the Sophon to relay the intelligence to the companion at the runway, so he can set up the remote-controlled bomb car in advance. Then all that remains is... boom! A massive explosion!"
"Of course, if he switches to some other means of transportation, I have ways to kill him too."
The ETO members discussed it among themselves. Direct assassination was not impossible. Although it would not achieve the effect of destroying him psychologically, it could eliminate Feng Taylor as a threat sooner. In the end, Qin Shi Huang made the decision.
"Fine. Since you're so confident, we'll trust you once. We only want one result: Feng Taylor dead!"
"Leave it to me." King Arthur lifted his head confidently.
