Chapter 1694 - 1693: Making Enemies
Rick was taken aback, then he finally came to his senses and quickly called his superior.
Ling Feng looked at Richard’s gradually cold corpse and sighed helplessly.
He originally planned to deal with this guy later, but unexpectedly he died early, which was quite a pity.
He had no mercy for this person, after all, this guy had secretly tried to set him up when calling his superiors before; now that he’s dead, he could only say he deserved it.
At the same time, Ling Feng felt a bit uncomfortable; he hadn’t expected the attackers to be so formidable, managing to kill right under his nose, which showcased some skills indeed.
Just as he was speechless, Tian Lian returned.
Seeing Little Hei on her shoulder, Ling Feng knew that the attackers from outside had been eliminated, so he asked, "How did it go? Did you capture anyone alive?"
"Left one alive."
Tian Lian nodded and continued, "The person is outside."
"Alright, let’s go take a look!"
Ling Feng said this, stepping out of the tent.
On the grass lay a man in black, completely motionless, as if he were dead.
Getting closer, Ling Feng examined his neck and found that the person had only suffered fractures, without any fatal injuries.
He then smiled slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Speak up, who sent you, and why do you attack us?"
"Don’t even think about it!"
The fractured part of the man was in excruciating pain, causing sweat to cover his face, yet he gritted his teeth and refused to answer Ling Feng’s question.
"Well, quite spirited, but unfortunately, in my hands, no question remains unanswered!"
Ling Feng sneered coldly, sending Spiritual Power directly into the man’s neck!
The blue veins on the man’s forehead and neck instantly bulged, causing his body to convulse violently, terrifying the surrounding soldiers and widening their eyes.
At this time, Rick also returned after finishing his call, took a deep breath upon witnessing this scene.
Ling Feng retracted his Spiritual Power, looked at the man, and asked with a smile, "Once again, will you talk?"
"I, I’ll talk!"
The man had tasted agony worse than death, looking at Ling Feng with eyes that seemed to see the Devil, and his mental defenses broke down entirely!
So soon, he revealed who had instructed him.
As expected, the mastermind behind it was indeed the Roth Family.
After hearing this, Ling Feng looked up at Rick and the soldiers around: "Everyone heard that, right?"
"We heard it."
Everyone nodded, their eyes complex.
The soldiers didn’t think much, but having lost some comrades before, their hearts were filled with anger, hating the Roth Family people to the core.
While Rick and the Investigation Bureau members, thought about their operation being discovered by the Roth Family, which enraged them—it seemed this matter was going to be quite complicated.
With complex emotions, Rick looked at Ling Feng: "Ling, Mr. Ling, our superiors have ordered us to immediately proceed to the mission site!"
"Are you the commander now?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes!"
Rick nodded, and continued: "Mr. Ling, please help us out and send us to the scene, won’t you?"
"Let me think about it."
Ling Feng didn’t agree directly, stood up to look around, and then said: "Let’s tidy up the site first, and talk about it later!"
Saying this, he returned to his tent.
The feud between the Roth Family and the Investigation Bureau was set; with Richard dead and Rick becoming the commander, it was advantageous for Ling Feng.
But now, Ling Feng was concerned about how things were at the City of Gold, whether the transportation work had ended.
So, he sent a message to Lin Xue, asking about the situation.
After waiting a few minutes, the phone vibrated, Ling Feng opened the message and saw Lin Xue reply: "Only one golden wall left to dismantle."
"We’ve already reached the perimeter, leave the wall, retract the barrier, and have everyone evacuate!" Ling Feng replied.
Lin Xue’s response came quickly: "Okay, evacuate in ten minutes!"
Ling Feng checked the time, packing up the camp, getting to the City of Gold would take at least an hour, enough time.
Just one wall left, moving for so long, won’t make much difference now.
After putting away his phone, Ling Feng waited in the tent for a while, until Rick came to remind him they could set off, then followed him outside the tent.
Not many people were left, and without Richard here, with Rick as the leader, everyone now viewed Ling Feng as a guardian deity, all looking at him.
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled and said: "After all that’s happened, everyone shouldn’t be sad; though those who died are unfortunate, we living must complete the mission, that itself serves as a comfort to them!"
"Yes, Mr. Ling is right, everyone, let go of your feelings, let’s move quickly!" Rick shouted strongly.
The camp tents weren’t tidied, everyone left immediately, heading straight into the depths of the jungle.
Half an hour later, the group passed through the jungle, arriving at a wide open area.
In the distance, the dark pyramid stood there, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, Ling Feng quickly saw a very large circular space within the tower.
He knew that was the City of Gold, so he turned to look at Rick: "Is that the City of Gold?"
Rick looked down at the device in his hand, and with a hint of excitement said: "Yes, that’s it!"
"Alright, let’s hurry up and go, it’s quite safe around, there won’t be another attack!"
Ling Feng said, stepping forward.
Everyone quickly followed, soon reaching the pyramid’s base.
Without needing Ling Feng’s instruction, everyone found the entrance and rushed in.
Upon entering the interior of the tower, the soldiers took out lighting equipment and set it up.
As the searchlights flickered on, people saw a golden shimmering wall!
After an exclamation, many soldiers revealed delighted expressions.
But Rick and the Investigation Bureau members frowned.
Pretending to be unaware, Ling Feng asked doubtfully: "What’s wrong? Didn’t we find gold?"
Rick forced a laugh: "Mr. Ling doesn’t know, this wall is too little, not even one percent of the City of Gold!"
"Really? Then is the real City of Gold behind that wall?" Ling Feng clicked his tongue, saying in curiosity.
"..."
Rick didn’t say anything, showed a bitter smile as he looked around, revealing a face full of helplessness.
He already noticed, in this vacant space, there were footprints all over the ground, evidently, someone had beat them to it and had already emptied the gold!
As for why one wall was left, he had no idea what was going on.
Feeling helpless, Rick stepped toward the wall, turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "Let’s try to dismantle it first."
Something is better than nothing, although it looks just about a dozen tons, it’s still worth quite a bit.
Everyone stepped forward, moving one block of gold brick onto the ground, quickly dismantling most of the wall.
Just then, someone saw what was revealed behind the wall and immediately let out an exclamation!
