782: Chapter 782: The Demon is Unleashed!
Thousands of kilometers away, in the military district of the Imperial Capital.
Marshal Luo Zhihu sat in his office, a military cigarette dangling from his lips.
He had already ordered the Deputy City Lord of the harbor city to initiate a city-wide manhunt for Lin Shuang.
“This time, we cannot let him leave alive again.
Pass the order, prepare to release the ‘Glutton’.” Luo Zhihu spoke slowly.
The guard beside him changed expression, “Marshal Luo…
Are we really going to release the Glutton?
He’s a traitor to the organization!
He betrayed us and killed who knows how many in the Imperial Capital!
Once he is released, it will be difficult for anyone to suppress him!
Moreover, isn’t this going a bit too far?”
Luo Zhihu replied coldly, “Rest assured, no matter how fierce the Glutton is, he is still just flesh and blood, merely human, and every human has desires.
As long as we satisfy his desires, he can be controlled and used by us.
Having him assassinate Lin Shuang is just perfect.”
The guard could only nod somberly, “Yes!
I will make the arrangements immediately!”
After the guard left, Luo Zhihu took out his phone, dialing a mysterious number.
“Reporting to the senior leader, Lin Shuang has been confined in the harbor city.
I have already dispatched the strongest assassin to proceed.
I wish to confirm, are we resolved to execute him?” Luo Zhihu asked respectfully, phone in hand.
The rank held by Luo Zhihu was already very high, ranking him as the top authority in the military district of the Imperial Capital, one of the Grand Marshals of the Martial Alliance!
Yet, Luo Zhihu actually referred to the person on the phone as the senior leader?
This indicated the incredibly high status of the person on the other end of the phone, far above Marshal Luo Zhihu!
The hoarse voice on the phone replied, “He must die, his identity…
cannot remain in this world.
Otherwise, the Imperial Capital will descend into chaos.
Kill him, then destroy the body and erase all traces.
Just bring back his head.”
I understand!” Luo Zhihu nodded respectfully, then suddenly asked, “By the way, senior leader…
Chen Bu’e from the Military Intelligence Department seems to be meddling in this affair, and he has been covertly supporting Lin Shuang.
What should we do about him?”
The voice on the phone, hoarse with disdain, said, “Chen Bu’e?
The mere Military Intelligence Department…
dares to meddle in our affairs, hmph.
You just go ahead with your actions with confidence.”
Luo Zhihu nodded gravely.
In the north, the Greater Khingan forest.
Deep within the primeval jungle, a secret prison had been constructed.
A man was bound in iron chains, detained in the depths of the prison.
His body was wrapped with iron chains weighing thousands of pounds, preventing him from escaping.
Above his chest’s collarbones, two thick iron chains were even more securely fastened.
The chains pierced through his collarbones, fixing him in place.
If he dared to struggle, the chains on his shoulder blades would pull on his collarbones, causing excruciating pain.
But just then, a special forces unit of several hundred men suddenly entered the prison.
The special forces members approached carefully and began to unlock the chains from the man’s body.
“By the command of Marshal Luo Zhihu of the Imperial Capital’s military district!
We are here to release our senior, the ‘Glutton’!
Marshal Luo Zhihu has issued you a new assassination mission!
As long as you accomplish this mission, you will gain your permanent freedom and also…
will regain military authority!
You’ll become an important official in the military department!” the special forces captain reported with a solemn voice.
Hearing these words, the man with dark, long hair slowly lifted his head.
His face, which bore the marks of a man in his fifties, was covered with fierce scars.
“Crack!” The Glutton suddenly grabbed the neck of the special forces captain, his voice cold, “Hmph, I didn’t expect there to be someone the Imperial Capital’s military district couldn’t deal with.
To have me released, this person must be quite formidable.”
“Speak, who do you want me to kill?” the Glutton asked coldly.
The trembling special forces captain handed a file over to the Glutton.
“This man’s name is Lin Shuang, here is his dossier!”
The Glutton opened the document to find Lin Shuang’s dossier glaring back at him.
There was very little information in this dossier, just a few photos of Lin Shuang and an assessment of his abilities.
A mercenary from overseas?
Heh, a mere mercenary warrants my action?
The Imperial Capital’s military district has become more and more worthless.” The Glutton scoffed sarcastically.
Will you take the mission?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to regain your freedom,” the captain asked cautiously.
“Pfft!” The Glutton suddenly acted, swiftly snapping the captain’s neck!
The Glutton then bit off the captain’s head and started to savagely chew.
“I hate people who talk too much.
I’ll take the mission, now lead the way and take me to the harbor city,” the Glutton commanded coldly!
He continued speaking while tearing at the captain’s head, swallowing the flesh and brain matter in one gulp.
All the special forces on the scene were terrified!
This man was a demon!
Killing their captain on a whim and then eating his head?
This was more demonic than the demons themselves!
The group of special forces, too scared to even breathe audibly, quickly led this devil away…
