Chapter 685: Shadows of Coincidence
by xennovelBook Chapter 685: Little Xi Ba from Kimchi Land (Update 3)
“No…”
Just before the elevator doors closed, the Young Man let out a heart-shattering scream, “Help! I’m not from Dragon Kingdom! You can’t do this to me, help!”
“Huh?”
Xiao Yu looked at the Young Man in surprise, “Little Xi Ba?”
Young Man: …
What do you mean by ‘Little Xi Ba’?
At least he’s a person—can’t you show a bit of respect?
But he forgot… Lin
was just the one controlling the drone and bomb to blow someone else’s place up.
Did you show any respect at all?
After his surprise, Xiao Yu furrowed his brows.
He still recalled that not long ago, he had personally taken down several ‘Kimchi Land Little Xi Ba’ individuals.
He had assumed it was just a coincidence.
After all, they were only there for organ transplant surgeries.
But now, another coincidence had emerged.
Two coincidences… can you really call that chance?
His thoughts began to churn with eerie dread.
Unanswered doubts that had long baffled him now seemed to have new meanings.
He remembered that all those suspects listed by National Security—those who had come into the country for organ transplants—were indeed all foreigners.
But foreigners are divided by nation, race, and so on…
If memory serves correctly,
people from Kimchi Land made up roughly one-third of those suspects.
A third coincidence?
Xiao Yu’s mind replayed the details over and over, analyzing every angle.
Suddenly,
an expression of stunned realization crossed his face—”So that’s it.”
In the past, Xiao Yu had imagined the head of the criminal gang as a compatriot,
always believing that only a fellow countryman could be so familiar with local customs.
Only one of his own could hide three organ transplant hospitals so effectively.
Xiao Yu realized he was wrong.
Because sometimes, the one who understands you isn’t a friend at all,
but your… enemy!
Only a true enemy would treat people from Dragon Kingdom as less than human—slaughtering them like livestock.
And haven’t such atrocities been repeated throughout history?
“I should have seen it coming,”
Xiao Yu muttered, “How does a big shot who hires Kimchi prodigies as bodyguards dare to come so brazenly to a shady hospital overseas for organ transplants?”
“With his power and status, in Kimchi Land he could easily snatch someone for an organ transplant, right?”
“Then why choose to come all the way to Dragon Kingdom?”
“First, Kimchi Land is so small that getting caught would be a disaster.”
“Second, since it’s Dragon Kingdom citizens who are dying, there’s no moral qualm, is there?”
“Third, if such a big shot can come to Dragon Kingdom for surgery, then the one running the organ transplant racket must be one of ours, not an outsider?”
Xiao Yu’s face turned as cold as ice.
Ding.
The elevator doors suddenly opened.
At that moment, the Kimchi Land Young Man, acting like a madman, tumbled out of the elevator.
But…
Smack!
A hand clutched the Young Man’s ankle.
Slowly, it dragged the frantic Young Man back into the elevator.
“No, no, please! You can’t do this…”
Amidst his screams, the elevator doors slowly closed.
Cutting off Xiao Yu’s sly, triumphant grin…
……
Twenty minutes later,
when the elevator doors opened once more,
Zhao Long, standing outside, saw Xiao Yu.
He also saw a creature, twisted and writhing on the floor like a ‘meat worm’…
Even for veteran soldiers, no matter how steely their nerves, the sight inside the elevator made Zhao Long gasp in shock.
“Damn… are they making me see this again?!”
Why say ‘again’?
Back in the days of that mercenary border incident, Zhao Long had once witnessed Little Brother’s brutal method of punishment.
That one incident left him without a meal for two whole days.
In that respect, Zhao Long was far tougher than Wang Dong.
The first time Wang Dong witnessed it, he immediately vomited.
The two Special Forces soldiers trailing Zhao Long couldn’t handle it either.
Clearly, their Captain wasn’t as formidable as they were.
“Wow!”
They began throwing up…
“Are you a demon or what… No!”
Zhao Long took another deep breath, glancing over at Little Brother squatting in the elevator—a seemingly harmless, sunny, and handsome fellow puffing on a cigarette—gritting his teeth, “Damn it, I won’t let that word be disgraced!”
Despite their curses, years of brotherhood had kept their bond strong.
Having often cooperated with National Security, he knew exactly what tricks they employed.
To be honest, compared to the ruthlessness of National Security operatives,
…
those Special Forces sometimes really weren’t a match.
When National Security faced enemies bold enough to threat the nation and public safety,
they could be more ruthless than demons, more vicious than thugs, and more reckless than desperados.
When it came to loyalty to the country and its people,
who could be more devoted than those in National Security?
If they weren’t loyal, would they even deserve the title?
They were nothing but complete lunatics!
“Haha!”
Xiao Yu laughed as he got to his feet and pointed at the ‘meat worm,’ “Get it moved! We’ve got bigger fish to fry!”
Zhao Long’s expression changed as he nodded.
Ten minutes later,
Xiao Yu, Captain Wang Dong, and all the members of Team Two,
along with Zhao Long leading a special tactics squad,
……
each boarded three Armed Helicopters…
……
Three hours later, in a coastal city,
this was the Dragon Kingdom city closest to Kimchi Land—less than 400 kilometers away, separated by the sea.
Moreover, it hosted the first maritime route connecting the two nations…
After disembarking from the helicopter,
under Xiao Yu’s leadership, everyone joined a convoy.
“How does such a tiny place give them the audacity to act so arrogantly?”
Wang Dong wondered curiously.
Where does the pride of these Kimchi Land Little Xi Bas come from?
“Do you know what it means when something is described as tiny?”
Leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, Xiao Yu replied coolly,
Hmm?
Wang Dong and Zhao Long exchanged a look.
“I recently saw an online comment.”
Xiao Yu smirked, “Grass is taller than trees. Interesting, don’t you think?”
Wang Dong: ???
Zhao Long: ???
What does that even mean?
“That analogy is used to describe the men of Kimchi Land.”
Xiao Yu scoffed, “They say the more these men are like that, the prouder they get.”
“The men of Kimchi Land are generally like this, masking their weaknesses with pride.”
“If someone were to expose their vulnerabilities, tsk—how would they survive!”
Wang Dong and Zhao Long looked utterly dumbfounded.
What on earth is Little Brother even saying?
Why does he sound so profound?
After they mulled it over for several minutes,
Damn… they finally realized,
they had been completely outclassed by Little Brother’s impressive vocabulary!
