Chapter 325: Billion Assassination Attack_2
The security guard asked, her face already showing a trace of anxiety.
She was usually busy with her cultivation and official duties, rarely paying attention to outside matters. Upon hearing so much at once, she felt as if she had become blind.
"Not knowing these things shows that you are not of this world. You won't understand how terrifying Lin Beichen is."
Bai Ying closed his eyes, losing interest in speaking.
The security guard was furious.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen walked through the streets at night.
Though Raven Assassin's cultivation was peculiar and his speed fast, there was still a limit.
He transformed into a raven, flew about five kilometers, and stopped in a park, panting heavily by the lake.
"Is this the limit of your transformation?"
A voice sounded faintly.
The assassin turned around abruptly, his face full of astonishment.
Lin Beichen was standing not far behind him, like a monster clinging to his shadow that he couldn't shake off.
Even though his transformation had only run a few kilometers, this was in a straight line, crossing lakes and skyscrapers. To catch up, one would need to navigate several times the distance.
How did he manage to follow me?
The Raven Assassin's scalp went numb.
"Golden Mountain Sect..."
The assassin gritted his teeth.
At this point, he realized.
The information provided by the Golden Mountain Sect was incorrect; Lin Beichen's strength was far beyond the Death Gate Realm.
Someone in the Death Gate Realm could not possibly have such abilities.
"Golden Mountain Sect? Are you an assassin from the Golden Mountain Sect?"
Lin Beichen seemed to ponder.
The person before him was a typical Angsa white man, about 40 years old, thin, and pale as if he had inhaled too many toxins.
When he spoke, his tongue struggled to enunciate, as if speaking Chinese was a great difficulty for him.
The Golden Mountain Sect dared to retaliate against him.
This was something Lin Beichen hadn't expected.
And if they were going to retaliate, why only send one assassin?
After Qin Wenwu's death, had the Golden Mountain Sect fallen so low that they couldn't even afford a few assassins and had to send one person to put on a show, coming here to die?
Charlie Chan had witnessed that battle with his own eyes. He should know that even if they sent ten of these kinds of assassins, they couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
"Seems you still don't know?"
The assassin said coldly.
"Lin Beichen, your strength is impressive, but no matter how strong you are, you can't stop the Golden Mountain Sect's relentless vengeance. They've placed a bounty on you ranging from a minimum of a billion to a maximum of a hundred billion!
The entire assassin world, all the top assassin groups, now see you as their primary target!
I'm merely the closest to you. More assassins will follow, even including the legendary underground assassin, Death God Cobra!
This person once killed a super strong presence who had touched the God Gene. Unless you can eliminate all these assassins, you'll never have a day of peace in your life."
"A minimum of a billion, a maximum of a hundred billion?"
Lin Beichen was stunned upon hearing this.
He had just thought the Golden Mountain Sect was poor, only to be slapped in the face by the revelation.
A revenge fund of over a hundred billion, even a multinational corporation couldn't easily come up with that.
It should be understood that a hundred billion in assets is different from a hundred billion in cash flow. Only a super organization like the Golden Mountain Sect could mobilize such funds purely for revenge.
"What is the Golden Mountain Sect thinking? Don't they know?
Using a swarm of ants to bring down an elephant is impossible! These assassins couldn't even handle Qin Wenwu, let alone me?"
As Lin Beichen pondered, a black mist suddenly enveloped the Raven Assassin. Just as Lin Beichen thought he was about to flee, a fiery snake sprouted from the mist, followed by a loud gunshot.
The shot sounded like a thunderclap in the night sky, clearly not from an ordinary firearm but a specially modified shock-explosive weapon from a lab.
This weapon was usually used in breaching scenarios. A single shot could blast a hole even in a steel door.
Dragon Country strictly prohibited firearms, even ordinary rubber bullet guns, let alone something like this.
The Raven Assassin had put in untold effort to smuggle this gun into Dragon Country, crossing snow-capped mountain borders.
He believed that if Lin Beichen was targeted at close range by this gun, even he wouldn't escape death.
"Fool!"
At the moment the gun fired, Lin Beichen suddenly snorted coldly.
A gale howled, dispersing the black mist and exposing the assassin's true form.
In the assassin's incredulous gaze, Lin Beichen was shrouded in a halo of green light, which enveloped him entirely. The bullets spewing from the Raven Assassin's gun were suspended mid-air by the light.
"God, what am I seeing?"
The assassin trembled all over, as if witnessing the most impossible scene in the human world.
The bullets from a shock-explosive gun were floating, frozen in mid-air?
How could there be such a sight in this world?
"In my presence, even your so-called god would kneel before me."
Lin Beichen said calmly, taking a slow step forward and reaching out his hand.
He radiated a green light, which extended toward the Raven Assassin and gradually enveloped him.
The Raven Assassin's body tightened, and he suddenly dropped to his knees.
Crack!
As his knees hit the ground, it cracked, shattering his kneecaps. It felt like being crushed by the weight of Mount Tai.
His veins bulged, his face contorted in agony, feeling an immense force pressing down on him, leaving him with no strength even to scream!
"Release your mind, don't resist. I can make your death quicker."
Lin Beichen said slowly, placing his hand on the Raven Assassin's forehead.
The Raven Assassin's face turned to despair.
Minutes later.
When Lin Beichen walked out of the park, it was already deserted.
Before the assassin died, Lin Beichen had extracted all the information from his mind.
Standing at the park gate, Lin Beichen slowly raised his head, looking at the clear night sky and bright moon.
"Golden Mountain Sect… Death God Cobra?
I'd love to see how much your desperate revenge weighs."
Lin Beichen said softly.
When Lin Beichen returned to the venue, the charity concert was in its final act.
Qing Yinqi, the much-anticipated star, took the stage, causing an outburst of cheers like a tsunami.
However, Lin Beichen noticed that Qing Yinqi seemed a bit weak, and her playing was distracted several times, obviously not fully recovered from the assassination attempt.
"The showbiz is indeed a big dye vat."
Lin Beichen shook his head.
When he was still an ordinary person, hearing about the entertainment industry only made him sigh over various gossip.
But he didn't know that these snippets of gossip were just the tip of the iceberg compared to the actual scheming and rivalry in the entertainment circle.
The real competition in this circle was without any bottom line.
Defamation was the least worth mentioning because there were poisonings and hired murders!
For fame and fortune, some people could go to any lengths.
"The one who hired the killer seems to be a celebrity too? I remember she's also on the invitation list for this charity concert. I didn't expect her, who acts like a kind elder sister in public, to be so vicious in private."
Lin Beichen thought about the woman he sensed earlier and couldn't help shaking his head.
This kind of showbiz strife, Lin Beichen was too lazy to delve into.
This matter couldn't be separated from the pursuit of fame and fortune.
Lin Beichen and Qing Yinqi were just classmates who met by chance; it wasn't necessary for him to get overly involved.
"Zhao Weinan, let's go."
Lin Beichen found Zhao Weinan. He didn't see the security guard or the hitmen from Yanyulou; they probably left early.
On the way back, Zhao Weinan clearly wanted to ask something, but seeing that Lin Beichen didn't speak, she didn't ask much.
As long as Lin Beichen was unharmed, Zhao Weinan was content.
The next morning, several officials from the security group arrived at Zhongcheng Hall.
They got straight to the point, showing their credentials to Lin Beichen immediately upon meeting him.
The leader was the security guard Lin Beichen had seen before.
But now, she was wearing a supervisor's uniform.
