Chapter 888: Chapter 331: Missile Launch (Part 2)

Boom!!!

A loud explosion.

In the launch silo, a missile’s tail flame shot up towards Mr. Gao at this moment.

Suddenly soaring into the sky, catching people off guard.

The staff in the monitoring room were abruptly awakened by this unexpected sound and stared blankly at the images on the monitor screen.

For a moment, they couldn’t understand why the command center launched a missile without any notification.

This was completely irrational and defied all protocol.

They, who had just been startled awake, hadn’t fully grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Meanwhile, the personnel on duty in the command center were already terrified.

There were fewer personnel assigned for night duty.

Normally, there would be seventy or eighty people in this command center, but now only five or six were on night duty.

Because the incident happened so quickly, the entire process lasted only a few dozen seconds, with no time for adequate response.

When the system detected the anomaly and began to alarm.

The missile had already entered the final countdown for launch, leaving them with no time to address the anomaly.

The officer on duty stared at the entire command center where alarms echoed, and red lights flashed frenetically throughout the room.

He looked ashen-faced, hopeless, knowing this was the end for him.

He would surely be sent to military court tomorrow, charged with incompetence and weak defense spirit.

He wouldn’t dream of leaving jail for the rest of his life.

Boom!!!

The missile quickly flew out of the launch base, heading towards its target.

Because it was their own missile, the Wu Country’s air defense system didn’t react at all.

Everything stayed quiet.

People who hadn’t gone to sleep were all captivated by the beam in the sky.

They stared blankly, realizing the missile was launched from the heart of their capital.

Heading in a certain direction.

All of a sudden, they were filled with anxiety, wanting to know what had happened.

...

...

Within the Simoski Organization.

A building which they moved into after the conflict.

Previously, they were affluent but not to this extent.

This large commercial office building complex, even with low property prices in Wu Country, was still located in the capital, even if it was suburban.

The land area and building construction would cost billions of US dollars to acquire, anything less would be a mere dream.

Simoski didn’t have that kind of money.

The entire asset of the organization wouldn’t amount to such a sum.

Even after Simoski’s death, his subordinates were unwilling to easily leave this place amid their power struggle.

The area had a great location, guaranteed electricity and water, and high security.

Only a fool would leave here to find a new place.

At this moment, the leaders of each faction within the organization sat together, discussing matters.

The core of the issue was how to distribute power!

"Has Harley Yous not arrived yet? What on earth is that bald-headed idiot up to?"

"I’ve been fed up with him for ages. If it weren’t for the boss always holding me back, I’d have long gone and shot that bald-headed fool. He keeps coming up with stupid ideas that put us in the forefront while he hides behind, causing many of our brothers to die while his men remain unscathed!"

Many expressed their grievances.

After Simoski’s death, these people were shocked to discover.

Harley Yous alone controlled one-fourth of the fighting power of the entire organization!

Even a bit more.

The money and assets at Harley Yous’ disposal comprised one-third of the entire organization!

There was already little to go around, yet Harley Yous had taken so much.

Wasn’t this excessively unfair!

If Harley Yous took more, then they would have less. With the cake only so big, how could the others divide the rest if he had eaten so much?

The group was grinding their teeth with hatred, wishing they could drag this bald idiot over, kill him, and feast on him.

"That cunning bastard, why would he come over? He slaughtered my men and fled with Leng Bing. He’s probably hiding somewhere, using Leng Bing to reach out to Great Xia."

"I reckon he’s planning to escape. Now with all the money and resources he has, wouldn’t it be comfortable to become a rich man in Great Xia?"

"..."

The group grew increasingly enraged as they spoke.

"I can’t take it anymore, why should he live so comfortably while we suffer here in the cold and hardship?"

"Tomorrow, we better go and kill him, seize all his resources, otherwise we won’t be satisfied even after arguing here for half a day?"

"If we take his resources, the few of us could have enough to eat, and there’d be nothing to fight over. As for who will lead afterwards, that’s simple. We can vote, bring in some democracy. Whoever gets the most votes becomes the boss."

This proposal quickly gained wide approval.

Each one began to plan for a surprise attack on Harley Yous.

Not only to kill Harley Yous and snatch his money and resources.

But to also take Leng Bing!

They realized now that Leng Bing was no longer an enemy to be targeted. Leng Bing was practically a life-saving talisman.

With Leng Bing, there was a chance to negotiate with Great Xia and flee there!

It was only after witnessing Harley Yous’ maneuver that they understood this angle.

Just as they were holding their meeting.

Dreaming about how they would divide Harley Yous’ money after snatching it.

Suddenly, someone barged into the conference room.

The newcomer looked panic-stricken.

One senior recognized the person as his subordinate, his face turned cold instantly, "You blind fool, don’t you know we’re in a meeting? What are you barging in for? Hurry up and get out!"

In the face of the boss’s rebuke, not only did this person not retreat, but he wore a mournful face.

He turned his body, but not his face, a mournful expression that looked ghastly, and whimpered, "Boss, it’s bad, a missile is headed towards us."

"What?!!!?"

As the words fell, everyone was shocked.

No one could stay seated.

Each one rushed to the windows.

At this moment, all the upper echelons of the Simoski Organization had a dot of light appear in their pupils.

As time went on.

The dot got closer and closer.

It grew larger in their pupils.

Everyone knew, they couldn’t escape.

Each person’s mouth muttered.

"It’s over..."

...

...

...

"Boss, here you go."

Harley Yous stood amidst the cold winds, on the rooftop, the gusts causing his coat to ripple like waves.

He stood in place, gazing deeply into the distance, and extended his hand to take the binoculars handed over by his underling.

He watched as a missile approached the building he was in just days ago, until finally colliding.

At this moment, a building collapsed violently.

The blast wave from the collision of the missile and building stirred up dust all around.

Suddenly, it turned into a center of dust.

Unable to see clearly inside now.

Yet there’s no need to see.

Harley Yous knew the place had been razed to the ground.

No one would survive.

What Harley Yous couldn’t understand was, their organization had good relations with the authorities, and cooperated with the military.

Why suddenly turn against them and launch a missile at the organization?

Truly perplexing.

But as he pondered, one possibility arose in his heart after another, until they were erased one by one.

Until finally Leng Bing’s face appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, he understood everything.

At last, he got his answer.

He put down the binoculars that showed nothing now and sighed deeply.

At the end, he simply remarked.

"Big brother’s remains were still in the building unburied, now they’re gone together."
