Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 285 - 160: Development Opportunity

Chapter 285: Chapter 160: Development Opportunity

Yan Fei’s initial goal was finally reached, his deliberately crafted personality of a naive fool had become an unpredictable bomb, threatening the lives of anyone or forces that dared to provoke him. All the directors sitting in the room, who were influential figures, never imagined their own safety would someday be held in the hands of a young man, finding it somewhat surreal.

Seeing that the board members in the room had no good suggestions, the young man suddenly said, “Why don’t we seek help from the CIA? I’ve heard there’s a mysterious person named Tripiṭaka within the CIA with all sorts of amazing abilities. It is said that there’s nothing he can’t accomplish. If Tripiṭaka is willing to take action, he can definitely take out Yan Fei. Once Yan Fei is taken out, he will no longer post bounty tasks on the Dark Web. Without the bounty tasks, no one will come after us, and we’ll be safe.”

The middle-aged man had a moment of realization and said, “That’s a good idea. As long as Yan Fei is dead, his Dream Technology will be taken over by China, and the Chinese side, having benefited, will naturally not continue to seek justice for a dead man. After all, we have the US Government backing us; they wouldn’t dare pin crimes on us. In this way, we would no longer have to face the lethal threat from Yan Fei and would also avoid accountability from China, achieving two goals at once. Moreover, I found out that Yan Fei is an orphan without parents or siblings. Once he dies, there won’t be anyone to seek revenge for him, leaving us without repercussions.”

The gaunt elder stroked his beard and added, “Indeed, Yan Fei is the key figure; his death would neatly resolve all of our problems. But there’s one issue you’ve all overlooked: the identity of the Destroyer, who completed Yan Fei’s bounty tasks.”

The young man, puzzled, said, “The Destroyer? Isn’t he just a mercenary who makes a living by taking on tasks? What does his identity have to do with this matter?”

The gaunt elder explained, “I’ve investigated it. The Destroyer is a newcomer mercenary who has risen to prominence only recently, and his exact identity is unknown, as no one has had any contact with him. All we know about him is that he has accepted two commissions issued by Yan Fei and completed them both. So, the question arises, why would the Destroyer only accept tasks from Yan Fei? And why did he appear just as Yan Fei landed in trouble?”

The middle-aged man replied uncertainly, “Are you suggesting that the Destroyer is actually Yan Fei’s man? Considering how rapidly Yan Fei went from nothing to amassing a huge fortune, this implies that there might be a mysterious force supporting him from behind, rather than just good luck and a fluke in entrepreneurship as we previously thought. When Yan Fei faced a crisis, the forces behind him dispatched personnel to solve his problems, implying the Destroyer was sent by those forces?”

The gaunt elder nodded and said, “It’s a strong possibility. But it could also be that the Destroyer’s appearance was merely coincidental; he might have seized the opportunity for Yan Fei’s high bounties, having no other connection to Yan Fei.”

The young man argued, “Regardless, Yan Fei is now key to resolving all our difficulties. If he has no backing, killing him would solve all our problems without repercussions. If there is indeed support behind him, once he’s dead, his supporters would change their objectives and back someone else. Moreover, with Yan Fei dead, it’s unlikely these people will trouble us over a deceased person, especially since we are no easy targets. Plus, this time we don’t have to act ourselves; we’re going directly to the CIA to let them make the move. So, even if it ultimately fails, Yan Fei and his backers won’t be able to trace it back to us. And with the CIA standing in for us, we essentially face no danger.”

The gaunt elder said, “You’re right on point; it doesn’t matter if Yan Fei has any backing. As long as he dies, all our problems are solved. But the CIA isn’t a charity. They’re sure to take a hefty chunk of flesh from us if they get involved.”

The middle-aged man responded, “There’s no gain without sacrifice. We pay a price, the CIA solves our problem; consider it paying for our past decision-making errors. Once we get past this crisis, we’ll have plenty of chances to recoup our losses.”

As the plan unfolded, the other board members became intrigued and started to offer their input, thereby turning the meeting into a brainstorming session that perfected the plan to eliminate Yan Fei to the utmost detail. In the end, they aimed not only to take Yan Fei out but also to grab a share of Dream Technology’s stocks amidst the chaos. To these greedy capitalists, what was initially a life-threatening issue had suddenly transformed into a lucrative opportunity.

Yan Fei, using the Quantum Radar, had listened in on the entire Greensun Capital board meeting, admiring the capitalists’ ability to deduce some truths from mere hints. He knew that his formerly crafted image was successful; these people became much more cautious when contending with him. However, Yan Fei still miscalculated one thing: human nature. It’s said that nothing is higher than the sky, but human nature surpasses it. While his bounty postings indeed threatened the safety of his enemies, he underestimated the extent of their greed. His enormous wealth had prompted those blinded by avarice to disregard their own safety, opting to kill Yan Fei and seize his fortune instead.
