Chapter 450: Kill Me… Do You Think You’re Worth It?

Chapter 450 – “Kill Me… Do You Think You’re Worth It?” (Update 3)

Sometimes, Xiao Yu found himself reflecting.

The older generation gave their entire lives for the nation’s progress.

How did they manage to do it?

How many today can truly embody that level of selfless dedication?

To borrow the words of a former national soccer teammate: “Isn’t that just foolish?”

But it is precisely this spirit of relentless devotion—willing to sacrifice everything—that

has made our country stronger, more prosperous, and ever more powerful…

Xiao Yu raised his hand in salute toward the two researchers on the video.

Salute!

Wang Dong and Zhou Lie also lifted their hands in salute.

These two researchers truly deserved their tribute.

Wang Dong took the data and video with him.

Such critical material couldn’t possibly be left at the research institute.

Even the director had betrayed them.

Who could guarantee the others… heh!

The three group leaders made sure that every researcher at the institute witnessed the whole process.

Why?

Because if even one of them chose to defect again,

the news would undoubtedly reach Lin Fang.

Laying a trap requires luring the enemy out into the open.

Right?

……

Outside the research institute.

“He’s coming for us?”

Zhou Lie handed a cigarette to Xiao Yu as they both exhaled thick clouds of smoke.

“No.”

Exhaling, Xiao Yu smirked, “Wang Dong’s just not the sharpest tool in the shed.”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Lie asked, frowning.

“Imagine if I were that monster.”

Xiao Yu scoffed, “I wouldn’t willingly walk into a trap, but I’d make sure you guys deliver the goods right into my hands.”

“Threats?”

A cold, murderous glint flashed in Zhou Lie’s eyes.

“Exactly. Threats.”

Xiao Yu nodded, “Devise a threat so potent that we’re forced to comply—there’s no other choice.”

Zhou Lie fell silent.

He knew full well that with Lin Fang’s abilities, threatening National Security was not a difficult feat.

After all, back in the day Lin Fang could cause an entire special operations team to perish—his terror in Chengdu speaks for itself.

Of course, that was assuming the target dared to show up.

Yet Zhou Lie was confident he could lead Group Nine to eliminate this monster!

Noticing the lethal glint in Zhou Lie’s eyes, Xiao Yu chuckled.

“Bro, how do you kill someone with just your eyes?”

……

Night. The moon and stars hung high in the void.

Inside a business suite at a hotel.

Xiao Yu suddenly snapped his eyes open.

What a strange feeling…

He sensed that he was being targeted by a pair of unyielding eyes.

In that instant,

he turned toward the bedroom window and activated Falcon’s Eye.

The moment he did, that unseen gaze vanished.

No—someone was watching me remotely. They knew I’d detected them!

Instantly, he sprang up and took off—Bam!

The glass of the hotel room shattered as Xiao Yu crashed into it.

Amidst a flurry of glass shards, Xiao Yu fell from the third floor to the ground.

He bolted forward, legs pumping as he dashed like a cheetah…

Relying on the earlier sensation, he raced off in a specific direction.

In roughly thirty seconds, Xiao Yu came to a stop over 500 meters away.

“A standard telescope usually doesn’t exceed 10x magnification…”

“Most high-magnification scopes, in the range of several tens, are used in cameras or astronomy…”

“Given that it disappeared from over 500 meters here, it must be one of those 50x zoom models…”

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yu’s eyes gleamed like sharp blades as they scanned the two buildings before him.

It’s here!

“Why would it show up?”

“Surely there’s someone from your side inside the research institute, isn’t there?”

“That guy already tipped you off. And you know the data is in our hands, right?”

“So what’s your threat plan? Kidnap one of our group leaders as a bargaining chip?”

“No, you’re not that dull—I know what you want…”

Suddenly, Xiao Yu turned back to look at the hotel he had just been in.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted.

The powerful blast shattered countless hotel windows.

On the hotel’s second floor, the Chinese restaurant’s kitchen was engulfed in raging flames.

“Not explosives…” Xiao Yu’s expression darkened.

Someone had set off the hotel’s liquefied gas!

“A warning?”

Xiao Yu muttered coolly, “Are you trying to prove what you’re capable of? But…”

Slowly turning, he fixed his cold gaze on the two buildings ahead.

So now, how exactly are you going to escape?

Suddenly.

Xiao Yu felt a burst of murderous intent—a deadly sense of danger.

His body’s alarm immediately went off.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yu slid swiftly to the side.

In a blink, he spotted the fourth floor of one building.

·· ·······In Search of Flowers··· ·········

Bang!

A window on the fourth floor shattered with the sound of gunfire.

A bullet whizzed past two meters from Xiao Yu, striking the ground.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yu frowned.

Even if he hadn’t dodged, that bullet probably wouldn’t have hit him, right?

Their shooting skills… seemed a bit off!

He recalled the surveillance footage of suspect Lin Fang breaking into the research institute.

Back then, Lin Fang was ruthlessly precise—every shot was lethal.

This kind of erratic shooting was nothing like the Lin Fang he remembered; the deviation was just too great.

It wasn’t Lin Fang… so who could it be?

As his mind raced with analysis, Xiao Yu had already taken off like a charging cheetah toward the building.

Bam!

Leaping upward, Xiao Yu shattered the glass of the building, crashed through a room, and reached the front door.

…. .. …….

Boom!

Like a ferocious beast, he broke through the door, dashed down the corridor, and barreled through the staircase, speeding upstairs.

Flea Bullet, Squid’s Touch, Spirit of the Raccoon Cat… one system skill after another activated.

In less than three seconds of dazzling maneuvers,

Xiao Yu leaped and scaled his way onto the fourth floor.

In the hallway, he spotted a figure fleeing at high speed.

Sure enough, it wasn’t… A cold chill passed through Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Bam.

A muted thud erupted beneath him.

Flea Bullet… Xiao Yu’s body flashed like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, he appeared just over ten meters away, right behind the fleeing figure.

The target had just turned around, his face contorted in shocked terror as he saw Xiao Yu barreling toward him.

Bang, bang, bang!

The pistol in the target’s hand erupted into a frenzy of fire.

But… Xiao Yu’s arm had already swung out, crashing a fist against the wall.

Using the impact’s force, he shifted midair to dodge the incoming gunfire.

With one final leap, he nearly brushed by his target, landing just ten centimeters away, firmly on the ground.

Xiao Yu glared coldly at the stranger’s face.

The man turned his pistol, intent on continuing to shoot.

“Smack!”

A massive slap crashed into the man’s face.

As if hit by a truck, the man was sent sprawling to the ground.

Xiao Yu stared at the man, who spat blood and bared his teeth.

“Kill me… Do you think you’re worth it?” he snarled.
