Chapter 708: Chapter 707, Already Desperate with Hunger and Thirst

夜深了.

Life-Seeking Sect disciple Jing Yun arrived in the Wa Country’s high seas aboard an ocean-going freighter.

The ship carried a fine coffin made of golden phoebe wood, and lying inside it was Yano Yamato.

”Mr. Jing, the radar shows there is a Wa Country merchant ship directly ahead of us, and we have confirmed the identity of the people on board; they are indeed sent by the Abe family.” The captain came to the deck and spoke respectfully, ”Besides, our radar also detected unidentified vessels on both sides and at our rear.”

Jing Yun grinned, ”Looks like those little devils want a double-cross, huh!”

”Even if they have the guts, they lack the ability,” said a young disciple next to Jing Yun, smiling. This time, they brought along thirty Grandmaster-level experts.

Not only that, but they also borrowed a batch of advanced weaponry on their way. Even if the little devils wanted a double-cross, they could be defeated soundly.

Ten minutes later.

The Abe family’s cargo ship appeared in Jing Yun and his companions’ sight and finally stopped beside the freighter, after which the Abe family’s people boarded the freighter.

They were very cautious, opening the coffin for inspection to confirm Yano Yamato’s identity.

”The person is here. As per our agreement, you need to pay five billion US dollars,” Jing Yun said with a faint smile on his face. ”Although we have reached the Wa Country’s high seas, I hope you will have some integrity and do not think of running off with the body.” As he said this, he single-handedly lifted the coffin lid weighing hundreds of pounds and placed it back on as if it were weightless.

This scene left the people of the Abe family stunned, not expecting such a terrifying display of strength since the coffin lid was very heavy.

After the shock, Abe Shige took out a Swiss Bank check and handed it to Jing Yun.

It was an unregistered check, filled out with five billion US dollars, which could be cashed by simply presenting the check and then transferred into the designated account.

”Checked, the check is real.”

Doing business with the little devils required utmost caution, so Jing Yun made sure the check had no issues before relaxing.

”Get a few brothers to help move the coffin to their ship.” Jing Yun was in high spirits, although the Thieves’ Sect had recently earned over two billion US dollars and Liu Cheng’an’s old man had grown quite arrogant.

However, the Life-Seeking Sect had secured five billion US dollars.

The Life-Seeking Sect was the strongest among the Outer Eight Sects.

Thus, two disciples of the Life-Seeking Sect lifted the coffin weighing over a thousand pounds with one hand to the Abe family’s merchant ship and then returned to their own ship.

”Set course for home!” Jing Yun waved his hand, giving the order to return home.

The freighter turned in the high seas, headed northeast, going around Wa Country’s waters to reach Great Xia.

Abe Shige also ordered the merchant ship to turn back. As for grabbing the check, that was the task of the Wolfpack Mercenary Group, while their task was to transport Yano Yamato’s body back to Wa Country as soon as possible.

”Mr. Jing, they’re here!”

After Jing Yun and his team had sailed twenty nautical miles out, four vessels quickly approached under the cover of darkness, each flying a blood-red flag with a wolf’s head on it.

”Didn’t expect it to be them.” Jing Yun sneered, clearly recognizing the Wolfpack Mercenary Group. This mercenary group was somewhat renowned in the mercenary world but limited to ordinary people.

The captain hurriedly walked over, his face tense, ”Mr. Jing, the leader of the Wolfpack Mercenary Group just contacted us over the radio. They don’t want to be our enemies. They only ask us to hand over that check.”

It was evident that nowadays, the Great Xia Country was strong and prosperous. No force or organization wanted to provoke Great Xia, even on the high seas, even if the other side were the Wolfpack Mercenary Group.

”Borrowed weapons are finally of use, bring out those weapons we borrowed!” Jing Yun ordered directly, not even giving the Wolfpack Mercenary Group a second thought.

With Jing Yun’s command, a dozen members of the Life-Seeking Sect, each carrying a rocket launcher, walked out of the cabin, while others struggled to lug several crates of ammunition, all on loan from the military.

These things were definitely taboo items that ordinary people had no right to touch, or even see.

”Even though the Wolfpack Mercenary Group is just small fries in our eyes, we went through a lot to borrow these advanced weapons. Why not feel their power?” Jing Yun smirked wickedly.

After a pause, he asked, ”You all know how to fire them, right?”

”Been trained for a long time already.”

”My rocket is itching for some action!”

The disciples of the Life-Seeking Sect were all brimming with excitement.

A charming smile played on Jing Yun’s lips, ”Then, let’s set off some fireworks!”

------

Bruce Cohen, the leader of the Wolfpack Mercenary Group, was a figure whose name struck terror internationally.

He had led his mercenary group to capture a small war-torn country in the past, earning fame in a legendary battle, sweeping everything before them.

They were so powerful that even when passing through the Somali waters, the pirates there would welcome and even invite them to their stronghold for a visit.

This showed the Wolfpack Mercenary Group’s international influence.

Typically, with the Wolfpack Mercenary Group’s influence, they wouldn’t even consider such a small task today.

But today’s assignment was different.

They mobilized their entire team and even performed the task without pay.

The reason, however, lay in the time when Bruce Cohen had just established his mercenary group and faced a financial crisis, coming close to collapse multiple times.

During that period, Ryou Abe’s grandfather assisted them with five million US dollars. That money wasn’t much, but it helped Bruce Cohen get through his toughest times.

At that time, Bruce Cohen stated that he owed the Abe family a favor, and no matter what they were asked to do, they would do it with all their strength.

And now, it was time for them to repay the Abe family’s kindness.

After this, both sides would have settled their debts.

”Have they responded?” Bruce Cohen sat on a deck chair on the deck, a cigar clamped in his mouth. He was Caucasian, with greying hair; at over fifty years old, he looked somewhat aged.

A middle-aged man said, ”Boss, they haven’t responded yet.”

Bruce Cohen remained impassive and said, ”Keep communicating with them, let them know not to attempt any futile resistance; on the high seas, no one can save them!”

”Boss, I think we should directly intercept the Great Xia ship and force them to hand over the check. Why all this trouble?” the middle-aged man grumbled.

Bruce Cohen shook his head, his expression solemn, ”Great Xia is a true lion; provoking this lion will surely come with a significant price. Such people we cannot provoke...”

Before he could finish, he saw two rockets, burning brightly, slicing through the night towards them...
