Capítulo 68: The Red Hunt Instructions

"We need no introductions to work with each other," Yi Wang's voice reverberated throughout the warehouse. Behind him were four uniformed bodyguards.

"You will sign a confidentiality agreement as well as waiver that if something happens, you do not have the right to sue me. We all know what we are heading for," Yi Wang stopped as he glanced around the groups in front of him.

"As you are here now, I trust that you have decided to do it no matter how dangerous the task is," he continued. He glanced at one of his men, indicating something.

One man stepped forward. "There is only one mission." The wall of the warehouse was transformed into an LED billboard.

The people inside dropped their jaws. If not, they held their breaths when they saw the display. It was only a red external hard drive, the size of a normal wallet.

"This is what you need to recover," the man pointed his finger to the board. "Just recover the hard drive, extract it from the area and your job is done."

The audience nodded. Although majority of them wanted to ask about the content of said hard drive, they kept their mouth shut.

Li Nuxie stayed silent the whole time. For Yi Wang to pay one billion dollars just to acquire that hard drive, the content must be very valuable. Even the location of the hard drive was suspicious.

"As we know, Country M is restricted to anyone. We will provide the necessary equipment to make sure you live long even after you recovered the hard drive," the man said, knowing that the radioactive content in Country M was still high and can be fatal.

Someone raised his hand from the crowd. The man nodded, indicating for him to speak.

"Is there a specific location where we can find the drive?"

"If that's the case, you wouldn't be here, would you?" the man retorted.

Li Nuxie pressed her lips together. What an idiotic question, she thought.

Li Chao scratched the back of his head while Li Chanying rolled her eyes when they realized the question.

"You will be airlifted at the nearby island. From there, you need to scuba dive until you reach an underwater cave at the edge of Country L," the man said as the LED board displayed the aerial image of Country M and its surrounding areas. The possible areas to infiltrate thr country was unlimited, however, all of them were blinking in red. That means trouble.

"From Country L, you need to make your way to the border of Country M."

The man put his hands behind his back as his eyes read the expression of the people in front of him.

"The security at the border is one of the most stringent measures in the world. Don't get caught or you're finished," the man paused.

Li Chanying leaned closer to Li Nuxie and whispered. "Xiexie, can we do it?"

Li Nuxie's face remained facing front. "Cowardice is not in the Li's bloodline."

"May I remind you, I am adopted. Plus, I was disowned not too long ago," Li Chanying retorted, pouting.

Li Nuxie turned to her cousin and glared. "Shut it," she hissed.

Li Chanying bit her lips. It seemed that her cousin was a little bit rattled.

"All the leaders of the groups, step forward," the man ordered them.

Li Nuxie slipped from the side of Li Chao and stepped forward. Li Chao just shook his head. It was always his sister who took charge whenever they needed to do something.

Well, Li Nuxie was very much capable. He cannot say anything about it.

Li Nuxie raised her chin slightly. Her hands were on her side. Her back was straight.

Meanwhile, the two men inside the charter plane raised an eyebrow when they saw Li Nuxie taking a step forward.

"Very brave, huh?" Heng Jun commented.

Xu Wei laughed, slapping his thigh. "That's my girl."

"Are you not stopping her? It was dangerous and you might lose her," Heng Jun said, matter of factly.

Xu Wei shrugged. "If I will do that, I will lose her sooner," he said.

"I don't understand the logic of people who are in love."

Xu Wei glanced at his friend. "Why don't you try to fall in love?" Heng Jun has been through worst. He needed to spice up his life.

"Do you think someone will fall in love with this face?" Heng Jun smirked. "If they are not afraid, they only love my money."

Xu Wei didn't answer. He knew Heng Jun was telling the truth. After that incident, his friend withdrew from the outside world, becoming a recluse.

After a while, Xu Wei spoke. "Some other time, somewhere, there would be someone who will love you for who you are, regardless of what you are," he said, a smile hovered over his lips.

"Amen to that, Young Master Xu," Heng Jun raised his fist towards Xu Wei with the latter's fist.
