129: Bai Li's vow

Xiao Yu finally broke down, kneeling on the ground and crying out, "Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang, spare my life! It was Death God who forced me! I... I can give you money! Lots of money!"

Wang Chen didn't even look at him and walked toward Death God.

Death God clutched his bleeding wrist, his eyes fierce, "Wang Chen... Dragon King... Heh, quite the authority..."

"Not as much as you," Wang Chen squatted down, looking at him, "When you traveled a thousand miles to Hangzhou City to kill me, weren't you also quite authoritative?"

And three years ago on the border of Dragon Country, when you killed Bai Yanqiu and four soldiers, did you also feel authoritative?"

Death God's pupils constricted, "You... how did you know?"

"I know a lot more," Wang Chen stood up, "Take them away."

The team members stepped forward, binding the four men tightly and covering their heads with hoods.

Tiger rushed out from the secret passage, grinned when he saw the scene, "Boss, you're still the best, you calculated exactly that they would run here."

"Basic operation," Wang Chen waved his hand, "Is the island cleared?"

"It's clear," Dragon also rushed over, "Forty-two killed, thirty-eight captured. Twenty-six detained civilians rescued, all missing recently."

Wang Chen nodded, "Contact the Dragon Shield branch and arrange for a boat to meet us. Also, keep Death God and Xiao Yu separated."

"Yes."

At the same time, in the Middle East, the Sandstorm branch.

Rat was leading eight squads, engaging in fierce combat with the Hades Hall garrison.

The battle was tougher than anticipated.

The Sandstorm branch was built inside the mountain, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.

Moreover, the enemy's firepower was intense, using heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and even tanks.

"Zodiac: Ox! The tank is yours!" Rat shouted into his headset.

"Received!"

Zodiac: Ox, driving the VT-4 brought from the base, destroyed the turret of an enemy T-72 with one shell.

The cannon fire lit up the desert night sky red.

In the command room, the Doctor watched the constantly collapsing defense line on the surveillance screen, his face gloomy.

He was in his fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a scholar, but the sinister look in his eyes was chilling.

"Elder, we can't hold them!" His subordinate rushed in to report in a panic, "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and their tactical coordination is perfect, our defense line..."

"I know," the Doctor interrupted him, turning to the experimental platform and pressing a few buttons.

The experimental platform slowly opened, revealing a secret passage underneath.

"Activate the self-destruct sequence," the Doctor said calmly, "The entire base will be blown up in ten minutes."

"But Elder, there are still our people inside..."

"Execute the order."

The Doctor grabbed a silver briefcase and slipped into the secret passage.

The secret passage door closed behind him.

Five minutes later, Rat led his men to break into the command room, only to find an empty room and the self-destruct device counting down.

"Damn it, he got away!" Horse cursed.

"Retreat quickly!" Rat glanced at the large screen in the center and roared urgently, "The self-destruct sequence has started!"

Everyone quickly retreated the way they came.

Just as they ran out of the base, a deafening explosion sounded behind them.

Immediately, the entire mountain trembled, and the Sandstorm branch instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Rat stood in the desert, watching the pillar of fire soaring into the sky, gritting his teeth, "Notify the Boss, the mission is complete, but the Doctor escaped."

Two days later, at a secret Dragon Shield branch in Southeast Asia.

Wang Chen sat in the room, looking at Death God and Xiao Yu, who were tied to chairs before him.

The state of the two was vastly different.

Although Death God was injured, his eyes were still fierce, like a trapped beast.

Xiao Yu was completely broken, his face covered in snot and tears, constantly begging for mercy.

"Mr. Wang, spare me... I really know I was wrong... I can give you all the property of the Xiao Family! I beg you not to kill me..."

Wang Chen ignored him and walked up to Death God, "Any last words?"

Death God sneered, "The winner takes all. Kill me if you want, stop wasting breath."

"You have backbone," Wang Chen nodded, "A pity, it was misplaced."

He took out his phone and dialed Bai Li's number.

"Miss Bai, I have captured Death God."

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, then Bai Li's voice, suppressing excitement, came through, "Really?"

"Really," Wang Chen said, "I'll send you a coordinate, come over. The person, I'll leave the disposal to you."

"...Why?" Bai Li's voice trembled slightly, "You could hand him over to the Dragon Country officials, that would be more legal..."

"Legal?" Wang Chen smiled, "If it were legal, he would be tried and shot. One shot and it's over; that's too easy for him."

He looked at Death God, "Your brother Bai Yanqiu, he tortured him to death with a knife, right? I checked the records, thirty-seven stab wounds, none of them fatal, eventually dying from excessive blood loss..."

"Stop talking," Bai Li's voice choked with sobs.

"So, he should die at the hands of the Bai Family," Wang Chen said calmly, "Are you coming or not?"

"...I'll come."

"Good, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up, Wang Chen looked at Dragon, "Prepare. When Bai Li arrives, hand Death God over to her. As for Xiao Yu... keep him detained for now, I have other uses for him."

"Yes."

Dragon Country, Imperial Capital.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Li sat motionless in her room for a long time.

Three years.

A full three years.

She recalled the day her brother was buried; the rain poured down heavily.

She knelt before the grave, completely soaked, yet she felt no cold.

Because her heart was colder.

On the tombstone, Bai Yanqiu's photo was forever frozen at twenty-eight years old.

"Brother..." Bai Li touched the tombstone, her voice hoarse, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

At that time, she had sworn an oath before her brother's tombstone, word by word!

"Brother, I swear, no matter the cost, I will find Death God and kill him."

"If... if someone can do this for me, I will marry him."

"This is the heaviest promise I could think of."

Rainwater mixed with tears streamed down.

She had always remembered that vow.

Later, she trained desperately, going to the border where her brother sacrificed himself, catching illegal immigrants, killing drug dealers, climbing step by step.

It was all so that one day she could take revenge with her own hands.

And now... Wang Chen had delivered the opportunity to her doorstep.

Bai Li stood up, wiped away her tears, her gaze firm once more.

She changed into her combat uniform, checked her sidearm, and then walked out of the room.

Bai Yuanzheng was sitting in the living room. Seeing her dressed like that, he sighed, "Going already?"

"Yes," Bai Li nodded, "Wang Chen caught Death God and asked me to deal with him."

Bai Yuanzheng was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Xiao Li, there's something Grandpa never told you. This Wang Chen person... is not simple. Moreover, you still have an engagement with the Chu Family..."

"I know," Bai Li interrupted him, "But this is what I owe him."

Not just owing him for avenging her brother.

She also owed him... that vow.

Even if Wang Chen probably didn't know about it at all.
