Chapter 224: Chapter 191: Instant Kill (Please Subscribe!) _1
Upon hearing the robot’s words, Xiong Zhiyang and the others exchanged glances, but they didn’t dare to disobey the order. After dawdling, they climbed into the car, giving no other option, a grenade was up front so there was no way they wanted to sit too close to the thing.
One of the bodyguards was driving, but due to his extreme nervousness, his foot shook and the manual-shift car stalled immediately. This made the three people in the backseat even more nervous.
"Brother, don’t be nervous, take it slow." The robot said, laughing in an attempt to comfort them.
His smile was so comforting that it made them feel like they were basking in the warmth of spring.
"Well, I...I’m not nervous." The driver stammered. His heart ached. He was sitting next to a fellow holding a grenade and a gun. How could he not be nervous? Especially when the grenade was held in his hand and his index finger had slipped through the pin of the grenade. Terrifying to look at, but he didn’t dare to speak out. He only cautiously tried to once again start the car.
This time the car didn’t stall and slowly drove out of the construction site.
To avoid uncontrolled shaking of his legs from driving too fast, the driver drove very slowly. At times, he briefly lost control and had to brake abruptly, But the robot next to him seemed extremely patient, constantly encouraging and comforting him, just like a friend. Except this friend was also holding a grenade.
This obviously strange scenario left the three in the backseat completely bewildered.
In order to avoid being silenced for knowing too much, not a single one of Xiong Zhiyang’s men dared speak during the entire trip. Of course, the robot wasn’t interested in them either, making the atmosphere incredibly eerie.
The deserted construction site.
"Boss, what do I do? I have no money." Seeing the robot leave with Xiong Zhiyang, Pi Qiang spoke nervously. Xiong Zhiyang was extorted for twenty million, but the rest of them had no money, living from pay day to pay day. He was worried that they might get killed. There were even grenades. Clearly, these people have killed before. He was scared.
"We know you don’t have money. Just stay here honestly. We’ll let you leave after we get Xiong Zhiyang’s money. Remember, nothing happened today. You are not allowed to talk to anyone about what you saw and heard. Otherwise, we will look for you again." Another robot stepped forward and said.
Although all these robots had the same combat power, there was always a titular team leader in charge of major communication during the execution of a task. The robot who previously was communicating left, naturally someone had to take his place.
"Sure, sure, don’t worry boss. I definitely won’t let anything slip. If I break my promise, feel free to execute me." Pi Qiang quickly swore. He’d made countless oaths in his life, but he was sincere this time because he knew that they’d have no qualms about killing him.
Upon pondering this, Pi Qiang was already considering how to cover this whole thing up. It was a good thing that the four men hadn’t yet woken up. If he made up a reason, they would have no choice but to believe him. He also decided that he would quit drinking in the future, in case he accidentally spilled the beans while drunk. Then he would really be a dead man, and not even the police could protect him.
Yes, he would get a new job when he got back, far from this city and his friends. He would learn a skill, it may be hard work but at least he would be alive.
Xiong Zhiyang’s villa.
Even though there was only one man here, the three bodyguards dared not let down their guard. They couldn’t handle this power.
Xiong Zhiyang, trembling, took out three bank cards out from the safe. He thought they were going to take everything. One card had nine million and three hundred thousand, another had six million and fifty thousand, the third had seven million and seventy thousand, a total of twenty-three million and fifty thousand, any two cards couldn’t make up twenty million, If he gave all three, wouldn’t that be like offering himself up to the slaughterhouse?
A portion of it was payment for goods, and a part of it was his own money. Now, he had nothing, he was bleeding inside, but he knew he brought it all on himself. If he hadn’t caused trouble for Tang Kai, he wouldn’t have been extorted today.
Doing bad things comes with a price!
"Hero, that’s all I have. There’s twenty-three million and fifty thousand inside." Xiong Zhiyang said truthfully as he handed it over. Along with it was a slip of paper, which had the password for online transfers written on it.
The robot didn’t say a word, but simply took each bank card and had a look, also glanced at the slip of paper. The video information was then transmitted directly back to the command room.
Tang Qing quickly linked the three bank cards, and transferred exactly twenty million into the system. He said he would do it, and he will. For just a few million RMB, his credit wasn’t so cheap. Now, the personal banking system was level four and could be linked with four domestic bankcards, so he unlinked all of the cards except for the one used for transactions with Liu Qian. It’s not like it was of any use anyway. If needed, he could easily link them back in a month’s time.
Although the transaction was completed within the bank, the transfer information hadn’t come so late at night, so Xiong Zhiyang didn’t know that his money had already been transferred. He just assumed that the other party had memorized his account information and password, and that they would withdraw the money later.
Seeing the robot keep staring at the bank card, Xiong Zhiyang quickly said, "Hero, rest assured. I will never report lost or transfer the money.
"Okay, good job. Remember, you are not to speak to anyone about what happened today. As for the Chairman or whatever, if he calls, just tell him Tang Zekai ran off, disappeared. You’re still looking for him, got it?" The robot said coldly.
"Yes, yes, no problem." Xiong Zhiyang quickly agreed. Before, the Chairman of the Wangtai Jewelry Group had already known that he had found Tang Kai. He couldn’t tell them that he hadn’t found Tang Kai, he could only tell them that Tang Kai had run away. At most, he was just inefficient, not unwilling to do his duty. Even so, the outcome wasn’t much different.
"Hmm, I hope you’re smart enough to not get yourself into trouble again. If you dare harm Tang Zekai again, you won’t need to waste the world’s air any longer." The robot threatened.
"I know, Hero. I won’t dare to do it again." Xiong Zhiyang said anxiously. He knew that he’d managed to save his own life.
Seeing Xiong Zhiyang state his position, the robot nodded. Then he turned to the three bodyguards and said, "Okay, you three can stop being so tense. Even if I didn’t have the grenade, you wouldn’t be able to stop me."
This was naturally Tang Qing’s order. Robots wouldn’t do such things or say such lines. Tang Qing’s purpose was simple; he wanted to make Xiong Zhiyang realize the seriousness of their situation. After all, besides Pi Qiang, no one else was injured tonight, not even a hair on Xiong Zhiyang was harmed. He must make Xiong Zhiyang understand that even without a gun, killing him would be a piece of cake.
After hearing the robot, no one foolishly showed contempt. No one would waste time talking nonsense in such situations, so they all prepared for a fight. The more pessimistic among them even thought the enemy wanted to silence them for good. Even Xiong Zhiyang on the side started to get nervous, fearing that this was a prelude to their imminent deaths.
Seeing their reactions, the robot chuckled and said, "All of you, come at me at once!"
As soon as the words fell, the three assumed fighting stances. Evidently, the enemy wanted to fight, but one against three, do they think this is a movie? Even we aren’t that easy to defeat.
The robot placed the grenade on the table.
"Here I come!"
With that, the robot instantly pushed its speed to the limit. This was the ultimate speed of a two-hundred attribute robot. The frontmost bodyguard was instantly punched in the face by the robot and lost consciousness, his ability to fight completely gone. Then, the robot stepped forward, kicked the second bodyguard in his chest, and the third one was kicked in the shoulder and went flying.
All three hit the ground at the same time without getting up! The sounds of them hitting the floor overlapped as if they had been calculated precisely.
The whole thing took less than a second.
Watching the three bodyguards, who were unconscious on the floor in the blink of an eye, Xiong Zhiyang collapsed onto the couch with cold sweat on his forehead, his expression one of absolute terror.
What kind of monster was this?
His bodyguards may not fear guns or grenades – any human would – but in his assessment, this group’s combat abilities were probably similar to his bodyguards’, perhaps somewhat stronger. However, one can hardly fight against many, let alone three.
But looking at the situation now, his three exceptionally skilled bodyguards are subdued like mere toys, instantly incapacitated here. Could it be that his bodyguards were too weak? Of course not. He had traveled around the world and seen numerous experts. His bodyguards were not too strong, but they were certainly not weak. They were on par with the combat skills of Special Forces.
So, there was only one solution - the enemy was overwhelmingly powerful.
If someone could beat three Special Forces level bodyguards in one second, they must be a military god. Especially since there might be more than one such monster. Who was Tang Kai and what kind of connections did he have domestically? What kind of people were protecting him? Xiong Zhiyang’s mind was a mess.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Xiong, they’re not seriously hurt. They just need to recuperate for a while. I just wanted to remind you that even without guns or grenades, I can still kill you. Be more careful in the future and don’t mess with anyone surnamed Tang, especially anyone related to Tang Kai, got it?" the robot said with a smile.
Xiong Zhiyang promptly affirmed, "Yes, yes, yes, understood. I will never provoke anyone surnamed Tang in the future."
Facing an adversary who could take him out at any time, Xiong Zhiyang couldn’t muster any will to resist. At this point, all thoughts of that damnable Chairman of Wangtai were out the window. With such people protecting Tang Kai, could you even touch him? Some Thai boxing expert could turn into a corpse at any moment if this guy here wanted it. How could you possibly compete with Tang Kai?
He had sided with the wrong people this time around, and he even felt this could be the most wrong decision he’d made in his life. There was no competition.
"Well, that’s good. Goodbye, Mr. Xiong. Thanks for your 20 million. You can collect your car from the construction site tomorrow," the robot said, picking up the grenade from the table.
"No problem, take care. I apologize for not seeing you out," Xiong Zhiyang quickly got up to say, only to collapse back onto the couch as his knees gave way. He was scared of this humanoid monster!
"Alright."
After that, the robot drove his car away, leaving everyone looking at each other in silence.
"Are you guys okay?" Xiong Zhiyang asked his bodyguards. He was also too weak to stand up and wanted to help them up, but he couldn’t.
The bodyguard who had been kicked in the shoulder stood up first, clutching his painful shoulder, and said, "Boss, I’m fine. His control over his strength was very precise, the injuries aren’t serious. But I’m sorry for embarrassing you."
Xiong Zhiyang sighed and waved his hand saying, "It’s nothing. They were just too strong. Who do you think they might be?" Today, his bodyguards stood in front of him when he was threatened by a gun. He was already very satisfied. Not being able to do something was just a question of capability, but the willingness to do something is an attitude. As they were willing to protect him, he naturally did not hold any grudges.
"Boss, I’m not sure about the others, but I know I don’t ever want to face this kind of enemy again, they are too strong. Boss, don’t get involved with that Chairman in the future. Although I didn’t sense any murderous intent from him, I think he’s definitely not someone who hasn’t killed before, maybe he’s just killed too many." The bodyguard who had been kicked in the chest also gave his thoughts while recovering his breath.
"I get it, dammit. Dare to pit me... I don’t care who he is, since he’s not in the country anymore. Hmm. He’s offended someone like this, just wait for his death," Xiong Zhiyang gnashed his teeth.
"Yes, Boss, you’re right. It would be a nightmare if someone like this wanted to kill you," the last bodyguard who was knocked out also came to his senses and said.
