Xia Ping watched Zheng Cheng's death with cold eyes, his heart devoid of any fluctuation. This was war; if this guy didn't die and was left to seek his revenge, then he himself would die, and his family would die.
There was no right or wrong, only stances.
From another perspective, if he had been captured by the other party, he would likely have been unable to live and unable to die, so he could not afford to show mercy.
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly." A flash crossed Xia Ping's eyes. After redeeming the Invisibility Pill, he had secretly approached the vicinity of Black Bear Company to observe the surroundings before consuming the pill.
He then relied on the fact that no one could detect him to swagger into the internal warehouse of Black Bear Building and loot it extensively. After all, this was a black market, dealing in drugs, monster meat, potions, pills, weapons, and all sorts of contraband.
Regrettably, he could only carry so much. After picking and choosing, he found twenty bottles of Golden Potion; he either didn't care for the other items or couldn't carry them, so he had to abandon them with regret.
Finally, he found several miniature timed nuclear bombs in the warehouse, set the detonation time, and blew up the entire Black Bear Building, burying all the enemies inside.
The plan had proceeded very smoothly; no one could stop him, and even the mastermind, Zheng Cheng, had been killed by his own hand.
"However, blowing up the entire Black Bear Building will probably really enrage Black Bear Company." Xia Ping looked at the Black Bear Building, which had already turned into ruins.
He knew that the headquarters of Black Bear Company was not at this location; this building was merely a branch, and blowing it up would not break the company's bones.
But this would certainly provoke them.
"Forget it. Once this matter is over, I will have returned to Tianshui City. I probably won't be coming back here in the future, so offending them is just offending them." Xia Ping's eyes rolled. "If offending them is inevitable, then I might as well be even more ruthless."
Thinking of this, he immediately used a laser firearm, pulled the trigger, and carved a few large characters into the ground, clearly placed in front of Zheng Cheng's corpse: The one who kills and burns, Desolate!
This "Desolate" was a codename he had come up with, intended to confuse the trail.
"Alright, that's it. While I'm at it, I'll buy a ticket and head back to Tianshui City." Seeing these large characters, Xia Ping was very satisfied. He discarded the laser firearm, grabbed a parcel he had brought, and fled toward the station.
The effect of the Invisibility Pill only had half an hour left, so he had to hurry.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Not long after Xia Ping left, more than a dozen figures ran over from the distance. They were members of Black Bear Company patrolling the area, and upon hearing the sound of the explosion, they had rushed over quickly.
"What happened? Our company building was blown up?" A man in a black suit was shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes; the building, which had been dozens of stories high, had now turned into ruins.
And the gang members inside had all died miserably.
"Look, Supervisor Zheng is dead too. His head was blown off by a single shot."
Another man in a black suit also looked at the corpse lying on the ground in disbelief. That person was none other than Zheng Cheng, who possessed the cultivation of the ninth heaven of the Martial Disciple realm.
"Damn it, which bastard did this?"
"This matter is too serious. We can't handle it; we must notify the people from headquarters to come over."
The dozen or so men in black suits discussed it one after another, their faces looking terrible to the extreme. They immediately took out their communicators and notified the high-level bosses of the Black Bear Company headquarters to come.
Half an hour later, a series of hovercars flew in from the sky and landed on the ground one after another. Clap, the doors opened, and men with powerful auras wearing training uniforms stepped out.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a white training uniform with a scar on his face, looking incomparably fierce. He stepped out of the hovercar, and a group of people stood behind him respectfully, not daring to even breathe loudly.
He was Dai An, a veteran of Black Bear Company who had reached the realm of a Martial Artist.
"The one who kills and burns, Desolate!"
The scarred man, Dai An, saw the large characters in front of Zheng Cheng's corpse at a glance, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "What great audacity, what great gall! Coming to my Black Bear Company to kill and burn, and even daring to leave a name?!"
"Who exactly is this Desolate?"
He looked at the dozen or so men in black suits in front of him.
"It's unclear; he might be a newcomer." A man in a black suit said hurriedly, "But it is certain that he has an extremely close relationship with the company traitor. It is said that he killed that company traitor in an alley, then snatched those twenty bottles of Golden Potion and that secret manual worth over a hundred million."
"Consequently, Supervisor Zheng gave the order to dispatch countless experts to hunt him down. We didn't expect that he would counter-kill more than a dozen people, and even Supervisor Zheng's son died miserably at his hands."
"But we never imagined he would be so insane as to attack our Black Bear Company building directly, blow Supervisor Zheng's head off, and have the entire building buried with him."
He was extremely indignant. Even if they racked their brains, they wouldn't have expected this guy to be so brutal. Surrounded and almost in a dead end, he still thought about fighting back; it was too abominable.
The other men in black suits were all very angry. No one had ever dared to provoke Black Bear Company like this, taking out their people, destroying their lair, and stealing their property.
If they remained indifferent, could they still be considered underworld figures?!
"Good, very good!"
Dai An laughed out of extreme anger: "Killing my people, stealing our property, and even brazenly leaving a name—what a 'killer and burner.' It seems our Black Bear Company has been thoroughly looked down upon."
"Issue a global warrant for Desolate immediately!"
"I don't care who he is, I don't care what background he has. If he dares to come to Black Moon City and crap on the head of my Black Bear Company, I, Dai An, will absolutely not spare him!"
"As long as anyone can provide a clue, there will be a heavy reward!"
"As long as a single trace is found, kill him."
"No one can offend my Black Bear Company and remain unscathed!"
Boom! He slammed a palm onto the ground. With his True Qi released, a terrifying force exploded, fiercely striking the ground. A huge pit with a diameter of five or six meters appeared instantly, and countless cracks spread out like a spider web. The entire earth shook, and the sound waves traveled five or six kilometers away.
"Yes!"
The group of Black Bear Company members shouted, their eyes filled with incomparable anger. To be looked down upon to this extent—they swore they would not rest until they caught this Desolate.
Meanwhile, Xia Ping had long since boarded the train back to Tianshui City.
At this moment, the medicinal power of the Invisibility Pill had also faded, and his figure was revealed. He had entered the station without anyone noticing and stayed in the restroom until the effect wore off before boarding the train.
Even if Black Bear Company's influence was great, they only dared to guard the outside and didn't dare to cause trouble inside the station; after all, that would be making an enemy of the Federal Government, which was seeking death.
"Beep, beep. Host has provoked a large number of enemies, inciting monstrous rage. Hatred points +10, Hatred points +10..." Just at this moment, the system prompt sounded in Xia Ping's mind.
