American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The monitor screen was filled with cheers.

The background was a large conference hall, with everyone applauding.

The host stood in front of the camera, his expression excited and his voice trembling slightly.

"Viewers, this is the much-discussed Revenge Fund, which has attracted great attention from the police.

Just three minutes ago, the foundation officially announced in Beijing that the murderer of Mr. Yamamoto had been brought to justice, and a staggering 100 million US dollars will be automatically transferred to this person's account.

Who accomplished this shocking feat?

We currently have no information, but through special channels, we have gathered a relatively concerning piece of news.

Just last night, a trans-Pacific international freighter caught fire for unknown reasons after leaving Victoria Harbour and entering international waters.

The fire spread rapidly and was enormous.

By the time the rescue ship arrived, there were no survivors on deck, and over 50% of the cargo had been burned to ashes.

So far, the international shipping company to which the freighter belongs is still organizing personnel to take stock of the remaining cargo.

This was originally just an accidental fire, at most arousing the vigilance of the Fire Department and the Public Health and Safety Department, but what is concerning is that when the freighter arrived at Victoria Harbour, it was surrounded by a large number of police cars, and when handling the remains, many prison-exclusive white vans were used.

Li Jie was relatively okay, and didn't drop the plates and bowls in his hands, but his daughter was easily frightened, and threw an entire bottle of oil into the pot, which immediately burst into flames.

The pot caught fire, and the flames licked the range hood, instantly producing thick smoke, and a slight crackling sound.

This completely scared her, and she staggered backward, almost falling into the trash can.

Fortunately, Li Jie was quick-witted, first reaching out to support her butt, helping her to stand, and then grabbing the lid and throwing it directly into the pot.

The flames were suppressed, the stove was turned off, and the flames automatically extinguished after five seconds, leaving only a few wisps of light smoke.

His daughter took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and was about to settle the score with her father, but as soon as she turned around, before she could open her mouth, Brother Crocodile suddenly burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly started crying for some reason, sitting on the ground curled up together, his whole body twitching from time to time.

This violent emotional change immediately stunned his daughter, who stood there with a stiff expression for a long time, not knowing what to say.

She had no idea what was happening; was her father losing his mind?

Li Jie knew very well that this series of emotional changes must have been caused by the news just now.

Since contacting Qi Shan last time regarding the Revenge Fund, Li Jie had also been paying close attention to related reports.

Although he had been entangled by Big Crocodile these past two days, he was always using his own methods to search for other killers' clues, in case of a sudden attack.

This so-called Revenge Fund was set up for Old Man Yamamoto.

Others might not know how Old Man Yamamoto died, but how could Li Jie not know?

He was the one who pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, so many potential enemies emerged, all wanting his life, how could Li Jie not be nervous?

He had thought about calling Qi Shan, but he had some concerns in his heart.

Although he had never seen Qi Shan's true face, with the intuition he had cultivated on the battlefield, he always faintly sensed a sense of danger from Qi Shan.

It was faint but very deadly, like a rattlesnake hovering nearby.

Although it didn't intend to attack you, its potential threat could make you involuntarily become highly vigilant.

And Miss Fujie, the beautiful woman who always followed Qi Shan, gave off an even stronger sense of dark erosion.

Every time he closed his eyes, it was as if a monster was standing in front of him, drooling, with a wide, toothy grin, its eyes glowing red, staring intently at him, as if it would pounce on him at the slightest moment of carelessness.

In terms of danger, she was much higher than Qi Shan.

Therefore, if there were other ways, Li Jie really didn't want to contact Qi Shan again, especially since 20 million Hong Kong dollars was already in hand.

Not to mention building a house back home, building a small manor would not be a problem.

The reason he was still staying in Hong Kong now, besides another task at hand, was to guard against the killer of killers.

Before going home, he wanted to make sure he had cleaned up the tail and cleared all traces.

After crying for a long time, Brother Crocodile's emotions finally stabilized.

His daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and sat directly next to her father, in the same posture as him, hugging her knees with both hands, her back gently leaning against the wall.

Looking up at the chandelier on the ceiling, she said faintly: "Talk about it, what's wrong again?"

Brother Crocodile shook his head and sighed: "It's ridiculous to say, I shouldn't have told you about this, but now that it's okay, there's no harm in saying it.

You know I've always been in the agent business.

Although I don't have many powerful killers under my command, I always have some manpower every now and then.

A few days ago, I had a whim and placed a coded advertisement in the newspaper, but who knew it would be recognized by an old man, who directly called to commission me to kill the chairman of the Yamamoto Group!"

His daughter covered her mouth in surprise: "The chairman of the Yamamoto Group, the one whose death directly triggered the Revenge Fund?"

"That's right, it's him!"

Brother Crocodile patted his forehead with a painful expression: "He called me, and I thought it was an easy mark, so I agreed very readily.

I was thinking of scamming him out of a few hundred thousand in commission and giving him a lesson, but who knew that after I agreed, the next morning the chairman of the Yamamoto Group was killed at home.

The matter caused a great stir, and it was exposed by a newspaper called Focus Daily.

The police were overwhelmed and had no clue, but my account received 800,000 military tickets.

After that, I heard that the Revenge Gene was activated, and killers all over the world were attracted by this 100 million US dollars, frantically hunting down all suspicious people!

I was so scared that I peed my pants at the time, and immediately rushed to find the old man, but who knew that the old man accidentally fell down the stairs and died on the spot.

And this scene was seen by the foundation's operations staff.

I was dumbfounded at the time, and turned around and ran!

I hid at home for two days, and heard in the news that the Revenge Fund was constantly making preparations.

In order to find out internal news, I gritted my teeth and transferred all the money I had accumulated over the years to an anonymous Swiss account, and used this money as a deposit to get into the Revenge Fund.

It was because of that time that I met this kid."

I originally wanted him to help me once, to find the real killer in advance, so that I could clear my name.

At the very least, clear me of any connection to this matter. I don't want to be hunted by assassins all over the world for the rest of my life.

Who knew…

Speaking of this, Crocodile Lao pointed at the TV, grief rising from within.

His daughter was completely bewildered by him, blinked her eyes, and looked at Li Jie in confusion.

Li Jie rubbed his hands, answering somewhat awkwardly: "I think your dad might be feeling the pain of losing that 5 million deposit!"

"The deposit can't be recovered?"

"It's difficult! I received news before that the Shanbei Group, under the pretext of finding important clues, lured all the brokers who attended the Revenge-level meeting onto that cargo ship.

From the moment I saw this information, I knew the Yamamoto Group had bad intentions. I wanted to remind those colleagues, but I didn't have a phone, and later I was distracted by this kid, so I forgot about it.

Now I can be sure that this fake news was not released by the Yamamoto Group, but by the real killer.

He used this trick to lure almost all the assassin brokers onto the cargo ship and burned it down, eliminating all the competitors at once."

Crocodile Lao paused for a moment, widened his eyes, and emphasized: "To create such a huge scheme in such a short period of time, deceiving everyone, is basically impossible for foreigners. Only the real killer can master such a situation.

If the 5 million Swiss bank notes remained untouched in the account, it would be fine! Perhaps no one would bother me.

But once the funds change, the other party will immediately know that there is still one broker who hasn't died.

At that time, the other party will start hunting me down, and your dad's life will be in danger!"

Crocodile Lao wailed: "5 million is stuck in the bank and can't be touched. What's the difference between that and not having it at all? My money!"

After saying that, tears were about to fall again.

The daughter stood up, both amused and annoyed, and said in a bad mood: "Is such a small matter worth crying about? Dad, are you even a man? Get up and go wash your face in the bathroom!"

"I won't get up, the 5 million is gone!"

The daughter said: "Do you think my lawyer's license was bought with money? It was earned through examinations, one by one. I studied banking law and financial law. Deposit-backed loans are as simple as peeling candy wrappers to me.

Go wash your face and after dinner, I'll teach you how to do it. The 5 million will stay in the account untouched, and I guarantee you won't lose a penny!"

Crocodile Lao jumped up suddenly, his face full of surprise: "Really?"

The daughter rolled her eyes, ignored him, and invited Li Jie to eat.

Crocodile Lao slipped into the bathroom.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Li Jie didn't show any abnormality, quickly finished his meal, and while the daughter was diligently teaching her father how to do internal bank fund operations with deposit-backed loans.

Li Jie quietly stood up, hid in the kitchen, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed directly.

"Was it you who sent people to do what happened last night?"

As soon as the call connected, Li Jie asked without hesitation.

A light laugh came from Qi Shan in the receiver.

"Why do you ask?"

"I can't think of anyone else besides you who could easily pull off such a big move?"

Qi Shan said lazily: "Then you don't need to worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. Just pay attention to your pig-headed man.

Your mission has been delayed for many days, the police have issued a full wanted order, and who this person is has been dug up. Be careful the police don't even give you a chance to act!"

"There won't be any more problems with the Revenge Fund, right?"

"Focus on your mission!"

Qi Shan hung up the phone, looked up at the manager of the Revenge Fund, and said faintly: "The evidence has been submitted to you. I believe the information is very complete. When will the funds be credited?"

A greedy look flashed in the fund manager's eyes. "Based on the current information, we can't 100% confirm that you completed this mission. The police accident report is still in progress.

Whether the fire was caused by humans or an accident? There is no conclusion yet, and we need time to re-examine it.

Regarding this point, I hope Mr. Qi can understand. After all, our foundation adheres to the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and we need to give an explanation to the Yamamoto Group and Old Man Yamamoto…"

Seeing his incessant chatter, Qi Shan became impatient and directly raised his right palm.

Tomi stepped forward, walked out from behind Qi Shan, her bright eyes staring intently at the fund manager, a snow-white pretty face without a trace of expression, an invisible aura of darkness rising from behind her, quietly binding the fund manager like the poisonous snake hair of Medusa.

Tomi slowly opened her mouth: "I want to see 100 million US dollars deposited into our account by noon tomorrow!"

Tomi's tone was unquestionable, even with a hint of command.

The fund manager was stunned for a moment, and a humble smile instantly appeared on his face, nodding and bowing: "Absolutely no problem. Because of the special purpose of this 100 million US dollars, the foundation has done a lot of processing to ensure its financial flexibility.

However, the report review time will take at least 12 hours. If there are no problems, the transfer can be made tonight…"

"Then get it done within 12 hours!" Tomi instructed, pointing to the door.

The fund manager nodded like a pug, and trotted out the door.

Qi Shan's lips curled into a smile: "Your human manipulation technique is getting stronger and stronger!"

Tomi was expressionless: "Humans in this world are too weak, and my Nen ability is under strong suppression. I can't use even 1/1000 of my power."

"You're much better off than me. I can't use even a tiny bit!"

Qi Shan shook his head.

This was also something that worried him.

In the last world, Qi Shan had already integrated the seeds of Nen ability into the Resident Evil world. After a world's worth of brewing, many people in the Resident Evil world had awakened Nen ability in bits and pieces.

Although without systematic guidance, they could only use this life energy to simply strengthen their physique.

They couldn't condense it into effective and magical abilities.

Even so, it forever improved the power limit of Resident Evil.

The world is Qi Shan, and as the world improves, the power that Qi Shan can use naturally increases. If he could still use the Roundhead Nail, controlling 10,000 people would be a piece of cake, but unfortunately, he's being suppressed by the world too much, and he can't use even a trace of power.
