Cosmic Trading System

"Still can't connect to the others..."

"Damn! They've jammed our signals here. We need to retreat quickly..."

On the other side, the fleeing Flying Eagle Guards, who had been unable to contact anyone else, looked increasingly troubled as they ran and spoke together.

Unable to contact others, they were unable to call for backup or alert anyone else. As for the Flying Eagle Guards on other floors, they could only hope for the best, using their wits to realize something was wrong and get out as soon as they could.

Staying in the Qingyun Hotel had become untenable.

On the upper floors of the Qingyun Hotel in a luxurious suite.

The increasing proximity of raucous voices and gunfire made them progressively more anxious. They knew that people were likely getting killed nearby; they held tight to their guns or cold weapons.

These were their hopes of staying alive.

"Bang--"

Suddenly, the door to the room was kicked open, and a group of heavily armed people wearing metal masks stormed in.

Seeing that the room was mainly filled with armed men, the intruders also had a moment of shock. They quickly retreated out of the room.

"This is an enforcement operation by the official Flying Eagle Guards! Everyone, drop your weapons and hand over Lin Yun!" At the same time, one of them cried out.

Though they were heavily armed, the people inside the room seemed similarly equipped, albeit of a lesser grade. Uncertain whether the room contained other threats, the intruders decided to exercise caution.

Seeing the intruders' heavy armaments surprised Lang Jiuping and his group. Coupled with their initial hesitation, this left them no time to react and fire back.

Noticing the retreat of the intruders, Lang Jiuping and his group quickly slid to hide behind the walls.

With the door flung open, their original positions were no longer safe.

"Flying Eagle Guards? They're actually Flying Eagle Guards?"

Upon hearing the shouts from outside, Lang Jiuping's face turned ashen.

The Flying Eagle Guards were a special institution in Huaxia, and each member was extraordinarily competent. As spirit seekers, they weren't ordinary people and often skirted danger's edge. With a well-connected network within their circle, they were privy to a wealth of information, including about the Flying Eagle Guards.

Having heard of them before was what made him feel worse.

In society, each martial artist with Dark Strength was formidable. But within the Flying Eagle Guards, they were commonplace, with many of them possessing the superior Mingjin.

These martial artists had physical fitness and reflexes far exceeding ordinary people. Paired with powerful equipment, each of them was many times more formidable.

It was said that a powerful spirit seeker squad was once exterminated by only three or four Flying Eagle Guards for smuggling national antiques abroad on a largescale.

Just now, he'd seen at least five or six guards, and that was due to the doorway's space constraint. From the sounds of it, there were considerably more.

The strength of his Spirit Seeker squad was average at best. Moreover, they lacked proper equipment. How were they supposed to compete?

"Boss, what's wrong? Are the Flying Eagle Guards that powerful?" One of his men asked curiously, discerning Lang Jiuping's troubled expression.

Hearing this question, the others also turned their gazes to Lang Jiuping.

Some had joined the Spirit Seeker squad late and hadn't heard of the Flying Eagle Guards. Others paid little attention to such information or had little knowledge of the Flying Eagle Guards.

"The Flying Eagle Guards are part of a special institution of Huaxia. Each of them is very powerful. They..." Lang Jiuping wasn't sure how to react and decided to listen to his team's opinions as he quietly explained the might of the Flying Eagle Guards to his men.

At this very moment, various expressions of shock appeared on the faces of Lang Jiuping's men as they listened to his words, making their faces turn pale.

"So, the famous Spirit Seeker squad was destroyed by just three or four Flying Eagle guards? Doesn't that mean we're screwed..."

"If we had known, we wouldn't have followed Lin Yun. First, we lost money on the antiques this afternoon, and now we're trapped here. We were told we were here to do business. But before the business even starts, we might lose our lives here..." One of them complained angrily.

"Talking about it now is useless. Let's think about how to respond to them. They are demanding for Lin Yun, but Lin Yun isn't here..." Another man shook his head.

"I bet they saw our weapons and assumed Lin Yun was with us." Someone else frowned.

"They didn't find Lin Yun? Where has he gone? Did he sense the danger and run away, leaving us to face everything alone?" A man exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"Bang!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out, and a powerful bullet whizzed past them.

"Fuck!"

Startled by this, Lang Jiuping and his men jumped.

They've started shooting already? And what kind of bullet was that? It can penetrate walls?

They were near a restroom... and the bullet was still able to reach them? And it wasn't just one wall that it had pierced through!

The equipment they had—just two or three handguns—might not be able to penetrate even a sturdy plank of wood. Did that mean if they stayed there, they'd end up getting shot?

With these thoughts, the faces of Lang Jiuping and his men turned stark white.

Go out and die, or stay and seemingly meet the same end?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just then, a series of gunshots echoed again.

"Danger! Strong enemies! Retreat quickly!"

"The one leading them is that Lin Yun!"

These shouts of gunfire terrified Lang Jiuping and his team, who scrambled to find cover. They looked around to see if any of their companions were injured, panic and anger echoed from outside the door.

Soon, the noises outside vanished.

The sound of footsteps entered.

"Who is there?"

Lang Jiuping shouted alertly.

"Mr. Lang, relax, it's me, Lin Yun," a calm voice responded.

"Huff — huff — huff —"

Upon hearing this voice, Lang Jiuping and his companions breathed a sigh of relief.

A while ago, their yelling filled the air. The gunshots were from Lin Yun's followers battling the Flying Eagle Guards.

If Lin Yun's voice was right, then nine times out of ten, his people had won.

However, being alert, they still nervously held their weapons as they came out from behind the wall.

"Lin Yun! It really is you!"

They finally relaxed once they saw that the leader of a group of people was indeed Lin Yun. Furthermore, two or three heavily armed men were lying on the ground, blood staining the ground. Lang Jiuping was slightly excited.

Regardless of whether they could leave here alive, at least they were safe for the moment.

Moreover, the fact that Lin Yun could kill so many of the Flying Eagle Guards gave them even more hope.

"My apologies for alarming you all," Lin Yun said regretfully while looking at the group of people.

"Lin Yun, you really screwed us over this time...." A young man grated his teeth.

"The situation was unexpected, I am really sorry," Lin Yun apologized again.

"Enough, Xiao Qi. Don't say more, who could have expected such a thing happening back home? This time, we were just unlucky and it was not Mr. Lin's fault. You should apologize to Mr. Lin promptly," Lang Jiuping glared at his subordinate and said.

How oblivious they were...

Their lives were in Lin Yun's hands. If Lin Yun abandoned them in their dangerous state, they would be in trouble.

Even if Lin Yun was being petty, it was not unlikely that he might just turn against them next.

Lin Yun had killed so many Flying Eagle Guards and clashed with the authorities. He didn't think that Lin Yun wouldn't dare to do so.

"The enemies in Qingyun Hotel have almost been cleared out by me. You can gather downstairs now. Then I'll find a place without guards for you, provide some cars and you should be able to escape," Lin Yun waved his hand and explained.

He didn't have many Spirit Crystals in his Cosmic Trading System. There were still many people in the Qingyun Hotel. Even if he could buy some cars and help some people escape, the number of people was very limited.

So he thought that if Lang Jiuping and his team could break through on their own, or even help him carry some people out, it would relieve some pressure.

Many people were just ordinary employees of the Qingyun Hotel. As long as they left the Qingyun Hotel and went a little further, they should be safe.

This could be deduced from the fact that the Flying Eagle Guards did not take action against these ordinary employees.

After all, the Lu Family and the Mie Family were targeting him and the people around him, and probably wouldn't dare to kill these ordinary people on a large scale.

An unnecessary increase in trouble wasn't worth it.

"The enemies in Qingyun Hotel have almost been cleared out? Mr. Lin, we seemed to have just seen a few grandmasters downstairs..." Lang Jiuping's group was taken aback and a person hurriedly said.

He was afraid that Lin Yun was not aware of how many enemies there were in the Qingyun Hotel and wasn't thoughtful in saying this.

Not to mention other people, those few grandmasters alone were not easy to deal with.

"Those three Grandmasters have already been killed by me," said Lin Yun, indifferently.

"What... Three Grandmasters... were killed by you..."

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Lang Jiuping's group was once again stunned. They gasped in disbelief.

Those were Grandmasters... Each one was an extremely strong Super Warrior... Ordinary thermal weapons were hardly effective against them...

Lin Yun had not only killed them but he killed three?

This made them even more stunned by Lin Yun's strength.

Who exactly was this Lin Yun...?

At that moment, they seemed to understand why, despite the Qingyun Company being sealed off, and the Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant ceasing business, Lin Yun, who had superb strength, was able to stay calm.

The authorities targeting Lin Yun were probably taken by surprise too.

Otherwise, they wouldn't send so many Flying Eagle Guards to be almost wiped out by Lin Yun and have three Grandmasters fall here.

It's a shame...

This time there was such a mess.

Some authorities would not likely let Lin Yun off easily.
