149: Big moves

A few minutes later, a group of Death Warriors walked out, their long blades still dripping with bright red blood.

"Sir, the inside has been cleaned up. What's next?" Zhao Huaiyuan asked, approaching Li Huaishan's side after his subordinates nodded to him.

Li Huaishan didn't say anything and looked at Qin Gang. Qin Gang immediately walked to the front of the group and waved his hand. Suddenly, a pile of explosive packs appeared on the ground, labeled as C4.

"These are two hundred C4 remote-controlled bombs. Everyone take some and install them in any place inside where they can be mounted," Qin Gang said.

The group nodded and immediately began their work.

When everything was finished, half an hour had already passed.

Then the group got into their cars. Just as Zhao Huaiyuan thought Qin Gang would press the remote to blow the entire Yasukuni Shrine into the sky, Qin Gang pulled a slick move. He took out an unregistered phone and had a Japanese-speaking Death Warrior call the Kyoto emergency police line.

The content was the honest truth: a large number of bodies had been discovered at the Yasukuni Shrine.

After reporting to the police, the phone was tossed away. Several cars drove to a remote location, cut their engines, and waited quietly.

Speaking of which, the Yasukuni Shrine is quite important in the hearts of the Neon people. Just look at how every newly inaugurated idiot Prime Minister has to pay their respects there.

Soon, a large number of Police Officers from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene, and teams of officers entered the Yasukuni Shrine to conduct a search.

"It's time," Qin Gang muttered to himself upon seeing this, then decisively pressed the remote button.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately, countless explosions rang in everyone's ears, followed by balls of fire erupting, directly turning the Yasukuni Shrine—which covered over a hundred thousand square meters—into a fiery purgatory.

The few Police Officers left on guard in front of the Yasukuni Shrine were dumbstruck, unable to believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.

"Done! Job finished!" Qin Gang said inside the car. The lead car started up, followed by the others, disappearing into the night.

The next morning, when Qin Yang opened his phone to browse Chinese TikTok, he found that the incident at Neon's Yasukuni Shrine last night had already taken over the headlines.

Qin Yang randomly opened a video to watch. The content was posted by a blogger traveling in Kyoto. He was standing on the outskirts of the Yasukuni Shrine, filming the sea of fire with his phone while excitedly describing the location. From his voice, one could hear how thrilled and agitated he was. Indeed, the existence of the Yasukuni Shrine was a form of humiliation for the people of the Great East; any person from the Great East with a conscience would inevitably be excited seeing this scene.

Afterward, Qin Yang clicked on the comments section. Domestic netizens were truly talented; many comments made Qin Yang chuckle. For instance, one commented: "Holy crap! What happened? Why did the little devils' toilet explode? Oh Heavens, oh Earth! Which hero did this good deed? Hahaha, I can't take it, I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it. Hero bro, I have to give you a 666! Damn, that's satisfying! Beautifully done!"

"What?! The devils' toilet blew up? Oh man, the Heavens have finally opened their eyes! No, I have to have a few drinks tonight to celebrate!"

"Is the guy above for real? Can't you buy some fireworks to celebrate? I'm already on my way to buy some. When our clan elder heard the news, he sponsored a hundred thousand yuan. We're setting them off for all they're worth tonight! On such a happy day, we must celebrate properly!!"

"Brother, count me in, I'm going to buy some right now. Yes, on such a happy day, we must have a grand celebration. Damn it, my grandfather died at the hands of those bastards, yet those sons of bitches have people offering incense to them after they're dead? They don't deserve it!!"

Qin Yang scrolled through. Most netizens from the Great East felt like it was Chinese New Year, flying high with joy. However, there were also some idiots acting like morons, asking: "The mistakes Neon made were the business of the older generation, what does it have to do with us? Is it necessary to be this happy? Many innocent people died in the explosion last night."

When Qin Yang saw this kind of comment, his head throbbed and his veins bulged with anger. He immediately wanted to reply—specifically, using 'national treasures' to curse eighteen generations of their ancestors, expressing his sorrow that they had such idiotic descendants.

However, Qin Yang didn't even need to act; the netizens had already done the honors for him. Their words were far sharper than Qin Yang's, eventually cursing the person until they were forced to delete the comment.

Seeing this, Qin Yang felt much better.

In fact, it wasn't just the Great East. Many countries that had been ravaged by Neon in the last century were cheering at the news. As the saying goes, the world turns in cycles; see who the Heavens have ever spared? This is damn well karma!

While the civilians in Southeast Asian countries were spontaneously celebrating, things were miserable inside Neon. The Yasukuni Shrine could be said to be a spiritual pillar for some Neon people. Now, suffering such an attack, many simply couldn't accept it—especially the descendants of the war criminals enshrined there, who demanded an explanation from the government.

As for the government, they had an even bigger headache because they knew more. Last night, it wasn't just the Yasukuni Shrine that was bombed; quite a few Police Officers died as well. This was already considered a terrorist attack. But although the Metropolitan Police Department had been investigating since last night, they hadn't found a single clue about the culprits. Such methods were simply inconceivable... Regardless of the little devils' headache, it had nothing to do with Li Huaishan and the others. Last night's action was just an appetizer for them; the real main course was just beginning.

According to the investigation data from the Neon Branch, the bank with the most cash and gold reserves was the Neon National Bank. It was also the largest bank in Neon, responsible for currency issuance and large-scale financial stability for the entire country.

The data showed that the exact figure for the Neon National Bank's foreign exchange reserves couldn't be obtained, but it was estimated to be no less than one hundred billion US dollars, with gold reserves around six hundred tons. It was truly dripping with wealth.

Therefore, the first target for Li Huaishan and his team was naturally the Neon National Bank.

The night before the planned action, Zhao Huaiyuan asked if their branch should act together, but he was decisively rejected by Li Huaishan. Before departing from Africa, Qin Yang had instructed Li Huaishan that for this operation, there was no need for them to hide their identities. Otherwise, once the bait was cast, if there really were fish, what if they couldn't find the bait?

Meanwhile, the branch needed to continue gathering intelligence in Neon, so it was inconvenient for them to expose their identities.

Thus, only the three of them—Li Huaishan's group—would participate in the operation against the Neon National Bank. However, with Qin Gang possessing a storage ring, he was more effective than a hundred people.

At nine o'clock the next morning, after the three of them finished breakfast, they drove a car straight toward the headquarters of the Neon National Bank.
