Chapter 278: A-rank Mission
🕑 Added 2023-12-24 05:30:01 +0000 UTCThe re-election campaign was imminent. Without undergoing a heart transplant treatment and the leader not making any public appearances, the approval ratings were about to fall below those of the competitors.
Chris, facing the barrel of a gun, looked even more unpleasant. He explained, "This is the highest alert, meaning we can't handle it. My men won't be able to hold them off for more than a few minutes."
"Take this child and leave. We can still perform the surgery elsewhere."
However, Zheng Hanshou paid no attention and believed in his own judgment. He then fired a shot at the ground.
"Bang!"
The shot didn't kill anyone, but it scared everyone, causing cold sweats.
"Now, perform the surgery immediately. I want to take this heart away. Otherwise, no one will leave."
While speaking, Zheng Hanshou's gun was still pointed at several doctors.
Seeing that Zheng Hanshou didn't listen to advice, Chris made a tough decision and directly told the doctors, "Continue the surgery, speed up."
Inside the operating room, Li Yongzhi, lying on the surgical table, originally thought her savior had come. However, she didn't expect to still fall into the hands of the assailants. Despair deeply filled her eyes.
The doctor who was originally preparing to administer anesthesia to Li Yongzhi heard the order and once again picked up the anesthesia syringe, injecting it into her. Soon, Li Yongzhi lost consciousness and fainted.
...
Outside the operating room-
Neji, Hinata, Temari, the three of them moved like phantoms, encountering no opposition in the slaughterhouse. None of the thugs inside could match the three genins. A single punch was enough to kill one person.
Chris had always believed that Zheng Hanshou was covering him and that there were people supporting him from above.
Therefore, he didn't equip his subordinates with firearms, only providing them with machetes and clubs.
This made it impossible to pose any hindrance to Neji and the others. In just a few minutes, everyone inside the slaughterhouse was slaughtered.
At this point, the group arrived at the door of the operating room, which was completely sealed and couldn't be opened from the outside.
Neji stood in front of the door and made the starting pose of the Eight Trigrams Palm.
"Huh!"
With a palm strike, a strong wave of chakra instantly shattered the door of the operating room.
As the door broke, Temari rushed in. In an instant, she killed everyone except Li Yongzhi. Hinata immediately protected Li Yongzhi behind her, preventing her from receiving any harm.
Neji and the others acted quickly. Li Yongzhi had just been injected with anesthesia and lost consciousness. The surgery was about to begin when Neji and the others stormed in.
Seeing the unconscious mission target lying on the surgical table, Hinata protected her from any harm. Temari looked at her and said, "She's unconscious. Let's get her out of here."
Meanwhile, Charles applauded as he walked in.
"You did well on this mission. I'm satisfied."
Hinata felt a bit embarrassed and said, "This mission was too simple, even easier than the missions we had in Konoha to eliminate bandits."
Temari, leaning on her Giant Folding Fan, also smiled and said, "The enemies were too weak. I didn't even get a warm-up."
Neji nodded in agreement.
Looking at the three genins in front of him, Charles spoke, "The enemies you eliminated this time were part of a human organ trafficking organization."
"They often abduct solo tourists or use high salary and telephone scams to lure foreigners into the area and then cut off their organs for sale is an unforgivable and evil organization."
"Li Yongzhi is one of the victims, and there are countless more like her."
Hearing Charles's words, Hinata's eyes widened with disbelief.
Having arrived in this world only a few days ago, her exposure to information was limited. She thought that in this relatively peaceful world, such evil organizations wouldn't exist, but the reality turned out differently.
Hinata clenched her fists and said, "Lord Charles, such evil must be eradicated."
Charles nodded and then spoke, "I'm assigning you a long-term mission. The three of you will form a team, with Neji as the captain."
"For three months, the information system of the High Table will cooperate with you. I will provide you with the identity of the Adjudicator.”
“Your task is to eliminate the telecommunications fraud and organ trafficking organizations in the Golden Triangle region, including Southeast Asia, Thailand, Cambodia, Kanchanaburi, Laos, Myanmar, and others."
"Of course, with your efficiency, you should be able to solve most of it if not all within three months. Report back when the time is up."
"I will calculate this mission as an A-rank mission."
Excitement filled the expressions of Neji and Hinata upon hearing that it was an A-rank mission.
After all, they hadn't executed one before. However, for Temari, who had teamed up with Gaara on a mission before, true A-rank missions were something she had experienced countless times.
"Yes, Lord Charles! We will ensure the completion of the mission!"
After issuing a new mission, Charles looked at Li Yongzhi, still bound to the surgical table, and instructed Hinata to take her away.
Hinata untied the restraints on Li Yongzhi and, together with Neji, escorted her out of the slaughterhouse.
...
Outside the slaughterhouse-
Li Zhongzhi was anxiously waiting. Even though Charles and the others had only entered for a few minutes, each second felt agonizing for him.
Just as Li Zhongzhi was about to rush into the slaughterhouse, the factory door opened, and Charles's group of five walked out. Li Zhongzhi immediately saw his daughter, and joy immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, the sunlight outside shone on Li Yongzhi's face, waking her up. In a daze, she saw her father not far away and then glanced at the surroundings and the fully armed guards. She murmured, "Was I saved?"
Hinata softly replied, "You're safe now. The bad people have been eliminated."
Li Zhongzhi rushed to his daughter, embracing her in his arms. Hinata and Neji released her accordingly.
"Daughter, you're safe, it's wonderful..."
"This time, it's Daddy's fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. It's my mistake."
"In the future, you can't wander around. It's too chaotic outside."
As he spoke, Li Zhongzhi was choked with sobs and teary-eyed.
Charles knew that Li Zhongzhi was overwhelmed with emotion and didn't disturb the father-daughter reunion.
In the original story, Li Yongzhi's heart was eventually taken, and she died a tragic death. Li Zhongzhi, not wanting to implicate his wife, died at the hands of the enemy.
He had helped them avoid a tragedy, and the mission that was assigned could prevent even more regrets and tragedies.
Though he was not a superhero, dealing with scum like this was still satisfying.
