Chapter 1142: Not Happy at All
Deep in the jungle, Yang Fei activated Snake Stupefaction, silently lurking.
Watching Willhaus cautiously approaching, Yang Fei wore a mischievous smile.
Willhaus was walking when suddenly the ground beneath him gave way, and he fell swiftly.
Trap!
Familiar with jungle warfare, Willhaus felt a chill run down his spine.
Realizing the danger, he exerted all his strength to leap to his left.
The jumping strength and stamina of this Master of Gangjin were beyond what most could imagine.
After fully activating his Gang Strength, Willhaus instantly unleashed formidable combat power.
He forcibly lifted his body with sheer willpower, leaping out of the trap.
Following his instincts, Willhaus managed to land on a mound to his left.
Suddenly, a snap was heard, as if a wire had been tripped.
Willhaus was shocked, feeling a shiver.
In his sight was a half-burned, pale yellow fuse, now ignited, crackling with sparks.
Willhaus felt a chill down his spine, his hair standing on end.
By now, he had understood the enemy's insidious intentions.
The trap wasn't the major threat; the enemy anticipated he'd jump in that direction and planted tripwire mines there.
This was the real deadly move!
In that moment, Willhaus used all his Essence Qi, pushing his speed to the limit.
He rolled forward, instinctively dodging in the eleven o'clock direction.
At this critical moment, he couldn't think anymore, only dodging by instinct.
Willhaus landed and instinctively glanced back.
He discovered that the fuse three meters to his left had burned out in an instant, strangely extinguishing without any explosion.
Willhaus remained in shock and hadn't caught his breath when a boom resounded.
A brutal explosion occurred beneath Willhaus's body.
Damn, the real landmine was buried at the third landing spot.
In an instant, dozens of steel beads and shrapnel penetrated Willhaus's body.
A huge shockwave directly blew his body away.
Bang!
Willhaus's bloody body slammed into some low shrubs, drenched in blood, unconscious.
Yang Fei only had one grenade left in his hand.
And Willhaus wore a bulletproof vest; otherwise, this explosion would have taken his life.
Yang Fei laughed loudly, lunging forward like a wolf.
The triangular military spike in his hand gleaming coldly, he charged at Willhaus.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Bam! Bam bam bam!
At this moment, countless bullets rained down like a storm, almost turning Yang Fei into a sieve.
Yang Fei rolled three or four times to evade the barrage of bullets.
Not far away, Willhaus's personal guards rushed over with their rifles.
The group of soldiers, agile and precise in shooting, guns biting targets.
"Damn, these bastards just don't give up!"
Yang Fei cursed, ducked quickly, and vanished into the jungle.
The soldiers were shocked when they saw the critically wounded Willhaus, rushing over.
"General, General, what happened to you?"
"Medic, hurry, stop the bleeding for the General."
...
Yang Fei turned and fled, hearing the guards' clamor from a distance, feeling immense regret.
Willhaus was a top-notch expert; having failed to kill him this time, it would be harder in the future.
However, no matter how strong Willhaus's self-healing ability as a Master of Gangjin was,
it would take at least half a month of rest for him to recover to his peak condition.
With the enemy soldiers closing in, Yang Fei had no choice but to hide and blend into the chaotic ranks.
Half an hour later, Yang Fei withdrew from the jungle with a group of remaining soldiers, then quietly disappeared.
The Phantom Moon Castle ball incident shockingly rocked the entire Greenworth Empire, from top to bottom.
Grand Prince Brown was assassinated by a sniper, and Greenworth Empire's First War God Willhaus fell into a trap, seriously injured in an explosion.
Such a rare violent attack left the entire Bal Royal Family utterly astonished.
George, as the prime suspect, took the blame unjustly.
Greenworth Empire's Emperor Senro furiously imprisoned George, announcing a thorough investigation into the incident.
The entire Novis City was under lockdown, implementing military control.
Black-clad police, riot Special Forces, and various national security departments were arresting Illuminati rebels everywhere.
Everyone who attended the ball was investigated by the security department.
Yang Fei, Stina, and even Helen had to go to the headquarters of the black-clad police for questioning.
The situation in Novis became extremely perilous.
Fortunately, Yang Fei and Stina were not heavily scrutinized, as neither had any motive for murder; one was a senior engineer, the other a private entrepreneur, both far from the center of power struggles.
Helen held a transcendent status, and in many people's minds, she was a close friend of Brown's, possibly even a potential love interest.
When Brown was sniped, Helen was also in danger.
Helen underwent no questioning.
Small figures like Yang Fei and Stina were quickly released, as if the events had nothing to do with them.
Two days later, George was also cleared of suspicion and released.
Aside from being scolded harshly by Emperor Senro, his reputation became even higher.
With Brown dead, George became the most powerful contender for the throne among the princes.
Even Emperor Senro did not deny this fact.
In this sense, George benefited from the misfortune.
Yang Fei and Stina, as George's most trusted confidants, found their status rising with the tide.
Many dignitaries now greeted Yang Fei and Stina proactively.
None of this concerned Yang Fei.
He was more concerned with who was behind Brown's assassination; if it was Lester, he would have mentioned it to him.
Recalling Helen's enigmatic gaze before the incident,
Yang Fei decided to ask Lester and Helen to clear things up.
At the underground training ground of the car manufacturing plant, the Dawn Squad's sinister tactics had taken shape.
Yet, in Yang Fei's eyes, they were still not ruthless enough.
The Dawn Squad's warriors seemed as innocent as babies to Yang Fei.
Grasping the mindset of an utterly depraved villain was not a skill cultivated overnight.
Lester, with his gray hair, stood quietly behind Yang Fei, his eyes wise and clear, his demeanor calm.
Yang Fei greatly admired this Imperial Admiral.
Though the external situation was chaotic, he remained composed and unperturbed.
This required not only composure but also superlative wisdom to control the bigger picture.
Before Yang Fei could ask, Lester spoke calmly.
"This was not done by our people; Brown was still of some use to me."
Yang Fei was not surprised, just furrowed his brow.
"Then, who wanted to eliminate Brown?"
