Chapter 049: The Coming Storm (Part I)
The pretty figure sitting in the co-pilot is none other than Zhang Taibai, who has only known Evereya for less than two days.
"I'm sorry to wake you up so early." Zhang Taibai said in a low voice.
"It's okay." In the co-pilot's seat, Evela, who didn't seem to be a little awake, waved her hand indifferently, "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about you...... What the hell is going on, is there any trouble? If there's anything I can do to help, just sayโ"
"Just now, there were two people who were very important to me...... gone, bombed beyond recognition, and, at the moment, completely unknown who did this. โ
"Bombs?"
Evelรฉa covered her mouth in surprise.
Although she is also a member of the 'Transcendental', not every 'Transcendent' has experienced a big battle like the Avengers, and for most of the 'Transcendents', what they have experienced is actually no different from ordinary people. At most, you will meet some other 'transcendents', not kept in the dark like ordinary people.
"I came to you just to talk to someone...... There are only two friends who know my identity as a 'transcendent', and I can't think of anyone else for a while...... I'm sorry. Zhang Taibai said honestly.
"Excuse me? I guess I'm honored. Everea said, "Tell me what the situation is, if you want to find the murderer, maybe I can help you?" Don't forget, I'm a graduate of the Mutant Academy, and I'm sure I know a lot more Transcendents than you do. โ
Hearing this, Zhang Taibai nodded and said, "More than an hour ago, there was an explosion in Flushing, and the location of the explosion was the martial arts hall where I studied martial arts, and I ...... at the time of the explosion."
Zhang Taibai tried his best to use more concise words to tell Evereya what happened, as well as the relationship between him and Hua Tianwen and Yu Yi.
Everea listened carefully, not interjecting.
It wasn't until Zhang Taibai finished speaking completely that she comforted, "Don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, and the living have to live well...... Besides, those two seniors of yours are such good people, and the person who killed them will definitely have retribution! โ
"Retribution? I don't believe in retribution. Zhang Taibai shook his head, his eyes showing a fierce light, "Moreover, even if there is such a thing as retribution in the dark, I am not willing to borrow other people's hands to avenge them...... I'm going to find out who is behind the scenes! โ
"Do you have a clue now?" Everea asked.
"Not yet...... But I believe that if you really want to find it, it shouldn't be too difficult, and there won't be many people who are brave enough to drop bombs in New York and have an enmity with the martial arts hall. โ
"That's right." Evereya also agreed with Zhang Taibai's opinion, "Don't worry, it's never too late to take revenge...... I'm going to call some of my mutant friends in New York and see if they have any useful news. โ
"Then I'm bothering you."
This time, Zhang Taibai did not refuse Evereya, because he was so desperate to find the murderer, so urgent that he couldn't care about anything like whether he owed favors or not.
Evereya also understood this, so without saying a word, she took out her mobile phone and started calling one by one in front of Zhang Taibai.
It's actually only a little past six o'clock, and it's the weekend, so most people must not have gotten up yet. So Evereya is calling now, in fact, she is also troublesome to others, but she did not hesitate to call one by one, which made Zhang Taibai's heart slightly touched.
*************
The news of the bomb attack on the Luofeng Martial Arts Hall quickly spread along with the news.
Bombings like this in New York City, even if the news media don't report it, will quickly spread on the Internet, because there are so many people who are alarmed by the explosion that they can't hide it.
Moreover, there is nothing to hide from this matter itself, in the eyes of the public, although the criminals who committed this matter will also be condemned, but the Luofeng Martial Arts Hall itself is not a very noteworthy place, just an inconspicuous Chinese martial arts hall opened in Flushing.
But what most people don't know is that the outbreak of this incident actually shook the black and white of the entire New York!
The New York branch of the 'Triad' issued a black market bounty at the first time!
Anyone who can provide accurate information related to the bombing can also receive a bounty of at least $100,000, and the higher the value of the information, the higher the amount of the reward...... If you can directly help catch the murderer, you can get a reward of 50 million US dollars!
As soon as the bounty came out, the entire underground world of New York was boiling!
Because this kind of reward is very rare even in the New York underworld.
50 million US dollars is already worth the income of some large gangsters for a year, and even if the New York branch of the 'Triad' comes up with this money, most of them will have to break their bones. But Mrs. Gao still offered a reward without hesitation, which shows how angry she is at this incident!
However, the rest of the big gangsters are not too surprised by this.
They are very clear about the relationship between Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion and Mrs. Gao, Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion was bombed, for Mrs. Gao, it is no different from declaring war with her, it is strange that she does not jump her feet.
At the headquarters of the 'Gokudo Gang', Nobuyasa Yoshioka was entertaining a distinguished guest.
It will definitely not be a general person who can personally entertain Shin Yoshioka, a bigwig-level figure who can make the New York underworld tremble by stomping his feet. However, what he really cared about was not the guest himself, but the big man he represented, standing behind him.
"Mr. James heard about that incident this morning, right?" Yoshioka Shin personally made tea for the man with glasses on the other side and asked at the same time.
"Do you mean the incident that happened in Flushing?" The man with glasses, known as Mr. James, took the teacup.
"Of course." Yoshioka said quietly, "As soon as Mrs. Gao's bounty came out, the entire underground world of New York was in turmoil, 50 million US dollars, who was not tempted?" โ
"Mr. Shin Yoshioka, aren't you unimpressed...... "James, the man with glasses, laughed dumbly, "There shouldn't be much more to talk about tracking down information than the ninjas under your command, but you don't seem to have sent them to investigate, did you?" โ
"Some money is not so easy to get, and even if you get it, it will be hot, so it's better to stay away and see the excitement." Nobu Yoshioka smiled calmly.
"In the face of money, Mr. Yoshioka Shin can be so indifferent, no wonder the boss always let me learn from you and be taught." The man in glasses, James, sighed.
"I didn't expect Boss Jin to think so highly of me, I'm really ashamed, ashamed." Nobu Yoshioka modestly waved his hand again and again.
"Mr. Nobu Yoshioka is too modest." James, the man with glasses, smiled, "But, then again, doesn't Mr. Yoshioka really know who did this thing?" โ
When the man with glasses asked this question, the smile on his face was still there, but his eyes were staring at Yoshioka without even blinking, as if he was afraid that he would miss a wonderful moment.
