The young bloke was part of a group of eight, men and women!
All carrying hiking backpacks! The leader sported a fisherman’s hat.
Looked like they were off climbing.
The slick-haired, powdered-face lad spotted Jiang Nan’s crew.
Before the leader could stop him, he dashed over.
Full of enthusiasm, he asked in shaky Russian:
“Простите, вы знаете, где бар Белл?”
(Excuse me, do you know where Bell Bar is?)
At that, Chen Chen and the others tensed up.
Couldn’t understand a word he said!
Wang Tianhua was about to speak.
Jiang Nan grinned wide, “Я не понимаю русский язык!”
The young bloke: ???
Fluent Russian left An Ning and the others stunned!
Bloody hell?
When did South God learn that?
So proficient in Russian?
They had no clue Jiang Nan spoke Russian!
Wang Tianhua was gobsmacked too, then his face darkened!
An Ning, curious, “Uncle Wang, what did Jiang Nan say?”
Wang Tianhua, face like thunder, “He asked if Jiang Nan knew where Bell Bar was!”
“Jiang Nan said he doesn’t understand Russian!”
An Ning and Chen Chen: ???
What the hell!
You don’t understand, yet you tell him in Russian?
[From Zhang Mo’s Resentment Points +666!]
Oi! You taking the piss?
Still, he kept his cool, “Can you speak English?”
Jiang Nan shook his head, “I can’t speak English!”
Zhang Mo lost it, “Then what the hell can you speak?”
Jiang Nan grinned, “Get lost, mate!”
Zhang Mo glared!
So you’re just messing with me!
Damn it!
In a rage! A water blade shot straight at Jiang Nan’s head!
Chen Chen stepped forward, a handful of nails flying from his pocket!
With a piercing whistle, they sliced through the water blade, hovering right before Zhang Mo’s forehead!
One more move, and his head would be full of holes!
“Dare touch my big bro? You’re proper brave, eh?”
Chen Chen, the old soldier, showed his ruthless side!
Zhang Mo paled, about to speak!
Jiang Nan kicked him in the gut!
The force sent him flying over 30 metres!
Caught by the leader, whose face was now grim!
Zhang Mo knelt, retching, trembling in pain.
Jiang Nan, “Mate! Enough with the cheap tricks!”
“What’s the point of all this probing?”
“I’m here for the nuke, plain and simple!”
“Anyone who gets in my way is dead! Not convinced? Let’s have it out now!”
“I’ll chop you lot up!”
“Lads!”
The bald crew roared, “Big Bro, your orders!”
The fisherman-hat bloke, face dark, “You’re ruthless!”
“Blood Alliance’s Wei Changsheng fell to you!”
“Too bad! I’m not Wei Changsheng!”
“Since we’re after the same thing, let’s play fair! Later we’ll…”
Jiang Nan, “What’s with the chatter? I want to have it out now!”
Fisherman-hat bloke: ???
Bloody hell…
Why do you want to fight everyone?
Like a firecracker, one spark and you’re off?
Didn’t you hear I’m trying to back off?
We don’t want to fight you today!
But you’re insisting?
[From Xu Xiao’s Resentment Points +1000!]
Fisherman-hat bloke waved, “Let’s go!”
Jiang Nan, “Oi, oi, oi! Don’t leave!”
“Have a go, yeah?”
Chen Chen covered his face: …
He got it. Jiang Nan had his eyes on their backpacks’ goodies!
Wang Tianhua was stunned for ages!
Jiang Nan’s this bold?
So brazen?
Not afraid of blowing his cover?
And he scared off the Hero Assembly just like that?
Thanks to Wei Changsheng’s example!
Xu Xiao of the Hero Assembly didn’t want to tangle with Jiang Nan!
This was just a test to see if these baldies were after the nuke.
Who’d have thought Jiang Nan saw through it, laid it all bare!
Seeing Xu Xiao and his crew leave, Jiang Nan looked gutted.
“What do you reckon… what goodies are in their backpacks?”
An Ning: !!!
Chen Chen: !!!
This guy, after their treasures…
The crew followed Wang Tianhua to a pre-arranged hotel.
Jiang Nan didn’t hold back, spilling his plan to Old Wang.
He wanted to use the Bald Gang’s rep to get close to the armed group controlling Suka Town!
Then pinpoint the nuke’s exact location!
Whether to buy or steal, that was still up in the air?
The cockier Jiang Nan’s crew acted, the more it showed the Bald Gang’s clout!
Since getting off the train, Jiang Nan could feel they were being watched!
Every move likely under scrutiny!
Wang Tianhua, hearing the plan, was stunned.
Never imagined Jiang Nan would go for the nuke this way!
Bold beyond belief!
“But this plan might not work!”
Jiang Nan blinked, “How so?”
Wang Tianhua, gravely, “Right now, the armed group with the nuke, called Wild Bear, controls Suka Town!”
“They’re cautious. Russian military and China’s Dark Night are putting heavy pressure on them!”
“Suka Town’s crawling with all sorts of factions!”
“Plenty of Russian military mixed in!”
“From our side, there’s Rakshasa! Hero Assembly! Blood Alliance! Er…”
He forgot, Blood Alliance was half done for.
“And Wild Bear still hasn’t revealed the nuke’s exact location!”
“Not every faction gets to deal with them. Wild Bear doesn’t know who’s military!”
“So far, they’ve only invited Blood Alliance, Rakshasa, Hero Assembly, and the Rofei Family with intentions!”
“They’re set to meet in three days at Bell Bar to discuss the deal!”
“We’re probably…”
An Ning frowned. Looks like Wild Bear mainly wants to deal with domestic underground groups!
The intent behind this was clear!
She clenched her fists!
“South God! We can’t let the nuke get into domestic hands!”
“If we must, we storm it! Even if it costs all our lives!”
“We’ll guard the light with our lives!”
At that moment, all eyes were on Jiang Nan.
Solemn and resolute!
Jiang Nan went quiet!
Then rolled his eyes, “Don’t go on about dying all the time!”
“It’s just an invite, yeah? I’ll figure something out!”
He flopped on the bed, fiddling with his phone!
But An Ning and the others weren’t optimistic!
Wild Bear decides who gets invited!
What could Jiang Nan do?
Jiang Nan opened WeChat, scrolling to a Pikachu contact?
South God: Hey, gorgeous, you there?
Blonde Bombshell: What’s up?
(๑•.•๑)
Jiang Nan blinked!
Bloody hell?
Instant reply?
She that free?
South God: (Photo) Guess where I am?
In the photo, Jiang Nan stood by a fountain statue, grinning brightly!
Floral shirt, flip-flops, big gold chain, little watch!
Like he was on holiday.
The buildings behind had heavy Russian vibes!
Blonde Bombshell: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
You’re in Russia?
Where? Where?
I’m coming to find you!!!
Jiang Nan chuckled!
Katerina’s getting slick with emojis!
South God: Suka Town!
Blonde Bombshell: Shocka-lad!!
What you doing in that dump?
Not afraid of getting blown up?
Jiang Nan paused. Katerina knows about the nuke?
Then it clicked. As a White Shark member, how could she not!
South God: Guess what I’m here for? (Sly grin)
Blonde Bombshell: Hmph! Knew you only contact me when you need help!
Otherwise, you’d never think of me! Scumbag!
Jiang Nan: ???
Bloody hell!
Fair point, though!
South God: You coming or what?
Blonde Bombshell: (◦`~´◦)
Tomorrow morning!
Bringing tasty treats!
South God: ٩(º﹃º٩)
Jiang Nan grinned, “Sorted!”
Team: ???
