Chapter 1085: The Most Expensive Fireworks

Editor: Henyee Translations

North of Continent O, Qian Hu City.

The Ji family’s private jet to Qianhu City was loaded with medical equipment and medicinal herbs. Many of these instruments were classified, preventing them from providing surveillance footage.

This was Family Head Ji Mingyuan’s explanation to the Xiao family.

Gu Jin and Xiao Yize were skeptical of the Ji family’s one-sided story and decided to investigate in Qianhu City.

While Ji Mingyuan’s words were truthful, they did not find Ji Minghui there.

Gu Jin mobilized Organization G and discovered that a significant portion of the medical equipment shipped by the Ji family to Qianhu City had been ordered by the Francis family.

With this lead, Gu Jin and Xiao Yize infiltrated the Francis family for further investigation.

However, the Francis family seemed aware of their arrival and had set numerous traps.

Fortunately, being top hackers, they anticipated the dangers and avoided the traps. Yet, the Francis family was heavily armed and guarded, making it difficult for the two Mutants to take on the guards alone.

Qianhu City was not like China; it wasn’t their territory, so they couldn’t engage the Francis family directly.

Gu Jin quickly formulated a plan. “I’ll blow up the Francis family’s arsenal to create a diversion. You can use the chaos to abduct Lixi.”

Lisi was the young master of the Francis family. Although he wasn’t a Mutant, he was exceptionally talented in business and was favored by the Family Head.

At this moment, the Family Head likely had numerous guards surrounding him, making it difficult for Xiao Yize to abduct him. In contrast, capturing Lisi would be much easier.

Despite his worries for Gu Jin, Xiao Yize recognized the urgency of the situation. The longer he delayed, the more danger Gu Yang would be in. He only reminded her, “Be careful.”

“Same to you,” Gu Jin replied.

Though they were both anxious, their trust in each other remained strong.

The Francis family manor had been on high alert for the past few days, with increased guard patrols.

Suddenly, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky in the southern suburbs of Qian Hu City. A deafening explosion echoed like thunder, causing the ground to tremble.

Inside the manor, Young Master Lisi sat cross-legged, engrossed in his video game, surrounded by attendants. The servants of the Francis family all knew that aside from counting money, Lisi’s greatest passion was gaming.

Since losing to Team Blue Whale in the international eSports competition five years ago, he had been determined to seek revenge. However, after Team Blue Whale disbanded and news of them faded, he found himself growing bored with the games.

After that, he shifted his focus to making money.

It wasn’t until recently, when rumors circulated that Team Blue Whale had returned to the industry, that Young Master Lisi picked up gaming again.

When he heard a loud bang in the distance, he didn’t even bother to look up. “With this commotion, which arsenal exploded?”

“Young Master, it seems to be from our family…”

“What?!”

Lisi shot up, realizing that the mushroom cloud was coming from their family’s largest underground arsenal! This was not just an explosion; it was a loss of firearms, gold, and stacks of euros!

“Go investigate!” Lisi gritted his teeth in frustration.

Meanwhile, on a nearby mountain, the wind and snow whipped around Gu Jin as he stared coldly into the distance, still holding the bomb button in his hand.

Jiang Mo couldn’t help but sigh. “These are truly the most expensive fireworks of the year. Too bad the Spring Festival is over.”

The Francis family was thrown into chaos as news spread about the destruction of their largest underground arsenal. In the midst of the turmoil, Xiao Yize successfully kidnapped Lisi.
