473: The taste of power, I kill myself? (two in one)

"Endure?"

Lin Yang sneered:

"If they dare to do it, I dare to kill!"

"Kill one if there's one, kill two if there are two!"

"Even if they hide in the Human Alliance Headquarters, I will kill them!"

Enduring is not an option.

Not even a little!

Que Tian frowned: "Killing directly into the Human Alliance? Wouldn't that be a bit too impulsive?"

"Unless those Old Monsters come out, no one can stop me!"

Lin Yang's killing intent was set:

"Director Song was right about one thing: if you have status, it's a waste not to use it."

"This time, I'm going to let the Old Monster Faction know that they picked the wrong person to provoke!"

Que Tian was startled: "Team Leader, have you really decided?"

"As long as the evidence is sufficient, those who deserve to die won't get away!" Lin Yang's gaze was cold.

Que Tian fell silent, then said: "Count me in then."

"You? Is the Taixuan Ancient Dynasty not afraid of you causing trouble?" Lin Yang looked at him.

"As long as you make a move against the Old Monster Faction, our Taixuan Ancient Dynasty will be too busy supporting you," Que Tian murmured.

"..." Lin Yang's expression suddenly turned strange.

It seemed the Taixuan Ancient Dynasty also wanted to take advantage of his actions to declare war on the Old Monster Faction?

After a pause, Lin Yang said: "That assassin is a Spirit Realm expert. Are you sure you want to stay?"

"Yes, I have means of self-preservation," Que Tian nodded.

"It seems you've also made great progress these past few years."

Lin Yang glanced at Que Tian and said no more, looking at the spatial location that felt unusual to him, he slowly said:

"That assassin should be gone. Let's first go to the relevant department here to find more detailed evidence, and while we're at it, warn them."

Although the relevant department here was under pressure from the Old Monster Faction, he didn't care about that.

If they extended their dark methods to his side, they should be prepared for reckoning!

"The assassins of Three Watches Rain are very cautious. If a strike fails during an assassination and they aren't locked onto by a counterattack, they almost never attempt a second assassination within a short period. After all, they are assassins and rarely engage in direct combat."

Que Tian said.

"Indeed, that guy completely concealed himself after his strike missed, with no sign of making another move." Lin Yang nodded.

If he had counterattacked the moment that assassin made his move, he should have been able to catch him.

But compared to pursuing the assassin, the safety of Cai Sisi and her mother was more important, so he had just been guarding Cai Sisi and her mother and did not counterattack immediately.

Although he missed an opportunity to pursue the assassin, Lin Yang didn't feel it was regrettable.

Since the Old Monster Faction had hired such a high-level assassin, they certainly wouldn't give up so easily before succeeding!

Furthermore, he didn't need to confirm anything from the assassin now.

No one else but the Old Monster Faction would hire an assassin to kill him.

Of course, the Mingye Clan was also a possibility.

But combined with Cai Fei's wife's previous reminder, it was enough to prove that this assassin was hired by the Old Monster Faction.

Only the Old Monster Faction could exert pressure on the local relevant departments on human territory, making them keep silent.

"However, we can't completely rule out a secret collusion between the Old Monster Faction and the Mingye Clan."

Lin Yang said:

"The Mingye Clan also wants to kill me. The Old Monster Faction might have a secret deal with them because of this. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It's possible the Mingye Clan hired the assassin, and they dispatched that group of people to cooperate. This way, the Old Monster Faction wouldn't have to bear the cost of hiring the assassin, nor the crime of hiring an assassin to kill me."

Lin Yang's eyes were dark:

"Given their bottom line—no, they have no bottom line—they are perfectly capable of doing such a thing!"

Que Tian was stunned: "Team Leader, you're thinking too comprehensively, aren't you?"

"No choice. If possible, I wouldn't want to think this way, but they truly have no bottom line. It's quite possible this is the case." Lin Yang spread his hands.

He also didn't want to think of the Old Monster Faction as having absolutely no lower limit.

However, their sending people to deal with Cai Sisi and her mother had already shown Lin Yang their utterly unscrupulous behavior.

So, secret collusion with the Mingye Clan was not impossible.

"I hope they are not traitors to the race!" Que Tian's eyes flickered.

"Traitors to the race is not necessarily true, perhaps it's just a collaboration to kill me," Lin Yang said indifferently.

Hearing this, Que Tian's expression suddenly became complicated: "Team Leader, with what you've said, I don't know whether I should hope it was the Old Monster Faction who hired the assassin, or hope they colluded with the Mingye Clan."

"..." Lin Yang was speechless for a moment, then said: "Let's go to the local law enforcement department first."

He couldn't respond to Que Tian's words... A few minutes later.

At the local relevant law enforcement department.

Lin Yang directly showed his credentials.

The credentials of the Deputy Director of the Human Alliance Alien Management Bureau!

It instantly alarmed the entire law enforcement department.

The highest-ranking official of the department hurried over to greet him, sweat still on his face.

"Deputy Director, your arrival is unexpected, and we failed to greet you properly. Please forgive us!"

The department head wiped the cold sweat from his face and said in a trembling voice.

"In your jurisdiction, there is a Human Alliance martyr. Do you know this?" Lin Yang's tone turned cold as he directly asked.

The official instantly trembled, knowing something big was wrong, and whispered: "Yes, I know."

"Hmph, if you know, then a criminal gang held a martyr's family hostage, yet you were completely unaware, made no rescue attempts, and did not report it to the Human Alliance. This shows that you usually do not care about the lives of martyrs' families, and your work has suffered a major dereliction of duty."

Lin Yang's gaze pressed down on the official, and he coldly shouted:

"From now on, you are dismissed. At the same time, a professional legal team will handle your dereliction of duty and misconduct."

The official was instantly crestfallen.

Although he was under the jurisdiction of a higher-level law enforcement department in Home Universe No. 1986, Lin Yang's direct dismissal was very irregular.

However, with the identity of the Deputy Director of the Human Alliance Alien Management Bureau, let alone dismissing a low-level official in an ordinary universe like him...

Even dismissing the head of the law enforcement headquarters of the central civilization of Home Universe would be a matter of a single word!

Of course, one could appeal.

But offending the Deputy Director of the Human Alliance Alien Management Bureau was not something everyone dared to do.

No one would appeal for him!

In fact, the official didn't even have the courage to defend himself.

It was a fact that he had not provided any help or rescue to Cai Fei's wife and daughter.

Lin Yang's gaze swept over the other ordinary staff, saying nothing more.

He didn't bother to make things difficult for these ordinary employees.

However, he wouldn't let them off easily either.

He sent an order directly to the highest functional department of that universe's central civilization, demanding an investigation of all staff in the regional law enforcement department.

If any had engaged in favoritism or other violations, they would be directly dismissed and tried!

Of course, such internal self-investigations would probably not be entirely clean.

Therefore, Lin Yang stated that he would dispatch an investigation team from the Alien Management Bureau to assist in the investigation!

Starting the investigation from the highest functional department of that universe, not a single person involved would be missed!

Since they chose to obey the Old Monster Faction, there was no need to be lenient with them.

Leniency does not command an army!

He was now the Deputy Director of the Alien Management Bureau, and this was his first direct confrontation with the Old Monster Faction!

This reckoning and review of Home Universe No. 1986 was also sending a signal to everyone.

That is, on one hand, he would absolutely not tolerate such actions that harm the families of fallen warriors.

On the other hand, it was also a declaration of officially going to war with the Old Monster Faction!

Afterward, Lin Yang checked some information about the shady man's activities in this place and left the law enforcement department.

"Deputy Director, you were truly domineering just now!"

After leaving, Que Tian teased him.

Lin Yang couldn't help but smile: "I have to say, having status really is different. This power is indeed fascinating to use, no wonder so many people long for power."

This was his first time using power.

The taste of power was indeed enough to make people go through fire and water, one after another!

But he was just sighing.

Status and power came from strength.

If one became immersed in power and status, unable to extricate oneself, and neglected the improvement and control of one's own strength, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

He still had that much self-control.

"Haha, Team Leader, now you've seen how great the power of the Deputy Director of the Alien Management Bureau is, haven't you?"

Que Tian smiled again and said:

"If you didn't have the identity of Deputy Director, merely being a member of the Alien Management Bureau wouldn't allow you to dismiss someone and impose sanctions with a single word as you just did."

"Although strong power can be used to oppress, deter, or even directly kill, directly killing would also have a bad impact."

"So, this is also a clever use of power."

Lin Yang nodded: "The Old Monster Faction hiring an assassin now should also be because Director Song directly promoted me to Deputy Director, which made them unable to sit still."

"Besides that..."

"They should also know that my retreat this time was to fuse high-quality extraordinary substances. They want to eliminate me before I break through to the Spirit Realm, so the assassin they sent is also Spirit Realm level, probably for insurance."

Que Tian also nodded along:

"They clearly know that once you've fused high-grade extraordinary substances, even a Super Gene Warrior wouldn't be able to threaten you. So they directly sent a Spirit Realm assassin, but they probably didn't expect that you can now even evade a Spirit Realm assassin's assassination."

Five years ago on the front lines, facing the attack of that Spirit Realm expert from the Mingye Clan, Lin Yang was completely unable to avoid it.

But now, even a Spirit Realm assassin's assassination could not succeed.

This made Que Tian unable to help but laugh: "I estimate that Three Watches Rain's quote for assassinating you will increase again. They price their assassinations based on the target's strength. The stronger the target, the higher the price. The Old Monster Faction will have to bleed a lot again."

Lin Yang was instantly torn between laughter and tears: "Is this considered good news? This also means that the next assassin who takes on the mission to kill me will definitely be stronger. This time it was an ordinary Spirit Realm expert, next time it might be a formidable Spirit Realm existence."

"I have confidence in you, Team Leader," Que Tian said with a smile.

"I don't even have confidence in myself!" Lin Yang shook his head and chuckled.

He was able to evade the Spirit Realm assassin's assassination mainly by relying on his perception of space, sensing the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual power in the world at the moment the guy made his move, and then using instantaneous spatial movement to dodge.

If a slightly stronger Spirit Realm existence came next time, it might not be so easy to dodge!

"Team Leader, powerful Spirit Realm existences are not that easy to hire, and the Old Monster Faction might not be willing to spend so much money right away."

Que Tian, however, shook his head and said:

"The price difference between an ordinary Spirit Realm assassin and a high-tier Spirit Realm assassin is vast. As long as they can confirm that you haven't advanced to the Spirit Realm, the Old Monster Faction probably won't be able to make the decision to directly hire a high-tier Spirit Realm assassin."

Lin Yang looked at him in surprise: "You're also very clear about the internal pricing of Three Watches Rain's assassins?"

"That's normal. If you say you want to hire an assassin, Three Watches Rain will give you a quote. They don't hide the assassin's pricing. Then, they will adjust the fee based on the basic quote and comprehensive factors such as the strength of the target to be assassinated," Que Tian said with a smile.

"The stronger the target to be assassinated, the more the fee will increase. And if an assassin fails a strike, the people within Three Watches Rain will re-quote, and as the number of failed strikes increases, the assassination fee will continue to increase exponentially!"

Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "Oh... So, if I contact Three Watches Rain now and say I want to hire an assassin, I can know the basic quotes for assassins at various levels within their organization?"

"Yes, you can even directly give your name, saying you need to be assassinated, and then you will get Three Watches Rain's latest quote for assassinating you," Que Tian nodded. "This kind of assassination quote, Three Watches Rain doesn't hide at all; they'll give it to anyone."

"How do I contact Three Watches Rain?" Lin Yang asked.

He was also starting to get a bit curious about what price he would have to pay to hire an assassin to kill himself now.

Although his strength had improved extremely quickly, and he was now the Deputy Director of the Alien Management Bureau, when it came to understanding the Ten Thousand Universes, he was indeed not as knowledgeable as Que Tian and others who had always been in contact with the major forces of the Ten Thousand Universes.

"I'll give you the contact information."

Que Tian immediately sent Lin Yang's communication device a special website, and at the same time said:

"Team Leader, click the website link to enter Three Watches Rain's external interface. You can register with any identity, or log in as a guest. There will be dedicated customer service."

"That casual?" Lin Yang was astonished.

He had thought it would be like in TV shows or movies, requiring him to go to a special place to find some contact person, making it both mysterious and high-class, but he didn't expect it to be an open and legitimate website!

Just contact the website customer service!

This was an assassin organization!

At this moment, Lin Yang suddenly lost his romanticized view of assassin organizations, which had always carried an element of mystery.

What was the difference between this and online shopping?

And... "This is too blatant, aren't they afraid of being taken down?"

Lin Yang mumbled as he logged into Three Watches Rain's assassin website.

"Hello, welcome to Three Watches Rain. We will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Three Watches Rain's website was very simple, with only a welcome message and a dialogue box to connect with customer service.

Lin Yang directly clicked into the dialogue box and then typed a message.

"I need to assassinate Lin Yang, the new Deputy Director of the Human Alliance Alien Management Bureau!"

He wanted to see what price it would take to assassinate himself!
