Chapter 540: Exposing the Plot
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy !Translation
Although Jiang Fei and Shroder were not metahumans with high movement speed, they were still Level Four metahumans. Therefore, a few ten kilometers meant nothing to them. In slightly over ten minutes, they had arrived at an empty field.
Right then, a helicopter was parked on the otherwise empty land. A group of j.a.panese people were moving things into the helicopter. On top of that, the helicopter’s rotor blades were already spinning at an increasingly high speed. It looked as if it was prepared to take off.
“Thinking of leaving? Is that even possible?!” Soon enough, Jiang Fei and the other two arrived at the center of the field.
“D*mn! They have caught up! Forget about the devices. Take off immediately!” The j.a.panese pilot shouted out loudly.
The helicopter’s rotor blades started spinning even faster as the entire plane lifted off from the ground.
“Hold it right there!” Shroder shouted loudly as he tossed a giant fireball toward the helicopter’s rotor blades.
“Boom!” The rotor blades were instantly blasted into pieces. The helicopter which had only ascended less than three meters into the air instantly fell to the ground.
“Boom…” Although it was only a drop of three meters, the destruction of the heavy-duty helicopter, which weighed tonnes, dealt significant damage to the j.a.panese fellows stuck inside.
“Ah…”
“My G.o.d…”
The sound of j.a.panese men crying out loud could be heard. They had all suffered different degrees of injuries from the crash. A few of the bodyguards who were Lower-tier Bio-Humans did not fare too badly. They managed to jump out of the helicopter before it crashed to the ground. However, the technicians were all badly injured from the crash. The less fortunate ones were pierced by sharp metallic objects in the helicopter. Based on the current situation which lacked medical support, it was probable that none of these people would survive.
“Jiang Fei, who are these people?” Although Shroder was the one who attacked the helicopter and made it crash, he was in a state of confusion.
Shroder had actually come to find his sister, Jenny. The lady next to him, Electress, was his girlfriend Berry. The two of them did not come because of the Mutants Brotherhood. Instead, they had come for personal agendas.
Jenny had been missing for quite a while now. Shroder had been looking for her all the while. This time, he received intel that someone had seen Jenny on this small island. That was the reason why he and Berry had come over to investigate.
However, neither of them had expected to be attacked by Bio-Humans the moment they arrived on the small island. Up until now, they still did not know who these Bio-Humans were.
“Let’s capture them first. I will explain to you later!” Jiang Fei said as he started attacking the Lower-tier Bio-Humans.
These Level Two Bio-Humans were not modified by the j.a.panese people after they were captured. Instead, they were special armed forces who had voluntarily partic.i.p.ated in the project to be modified. Therefore, they were loyal to the j.a.panese people without having their consciousness erased.
Despite being loyal, these people were only normal humans. Therefore, after being modified, they still had limited battle powers. The most powerful among them was only at the Lower-tier Level Three state. Most of them only had Level Two capabilities. They were suitable to be used as bodyguards, but expecting them to partic.i.p.ate in high level battles was hardly possible.
However, these were the people Jiang Fei was most afraid of. Be it Chinese martial artists or Western mutants, none of the metahuman organizations had more than 10,000 members. Even with several thousand members, 80% of their members were Level One metahumans. Their capabilities would only be slightly stronger than special armed forces and did not pose any real threat.
On the other hand, the j.a.panese could easily create several thousands and even several hundred thousands of Level Three Bio-Humans through Bio-Technology. That would be a highly destructive army to all the past and present governments. Most armed troops could not possibly defeat these fellows.
The j.a.panese were not investing heavily in the development of nuclear weapons to overcome the nuclear threat from other big countries. After all, even if their Bio-Human army was strong, they could not bear being attacked by nuclear bombs.
However, if the j.a.panese managed to develop nuclear weapons as well, they would not worry about nuclear threats from other nations. By then, with their several hundred thousands of Bio-Human armies on the battlefield, who could possibly stop them?
Very soon, the Level Two Bio-Humans tasked to protect the technicians were all killed by Jiang Fei and his two comrades. The technicians were all rounded up, which included the two j.a.panese who controlled the two High-tier Bio-Humans. The other j.a.panese who controlled the remaining Bio-Human was less fortunate and had been killed instantly by a steel pipe, which pierced through his brain when the helicopter crashed.
“Jiang Fei, can you tell me what’s the meaning of all this? I feel like my mind is about to explode!” Shroder said to Jiang Fei.
“Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded. The rate at which the j.a.panese’s Bio-Technology was advancing far exceeded Jiang Fei’s imagination. Although Jiang Fei did not need to be concerned about the j.a.panese’s nuclear weapons or Bio-Human army once he collected all of Braveheart’s fragments, there were too many unknown territories in regards to the location of the fragments and when he would find them. Based on Jiang Fei’s current capabilities, he could not possibly stop the j.a.panese’s plot on his own. Therefore, he decided to tell Shroder and Han Tianyu the j.a.panese’s plot.
Shroder was backed by the major rice-exporting country. With sufficient proof, the major rice-exporting country and the Mutants Brotherhood would surely not turn a blind eye and allow the j.a.panese to develop freely. Although Jiang Fei was not counting on them to stop the j.a.panese, he hoped that they could at least slow down the j.a.panese’s development. That would buy him time to find Braveheart’s fragments which was more than he could hope for.
It was the same case with Han Tianyu. Han Tianyu was backed by the Chinese government. If they knew the truth behind all of this, they would not possibly ignore it without taking any action. By then, the Chinese government would probably try to slow the j.a.panese’s progress or up their game in defensive measures which were both decent options.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei told Shroder what he needed to know. The only things he left out were his encounter with Phoenix and the underwater Bio-Experimental Laboratory.
Although Jiang Fei left out a few pieces of crucial information, which made his story less believable, there was sufficient proof before them, which included the j.a.panese devices and the hostages. The solid proof before them meant Shroder was bound to believe what Jiang Fei said.
Moreover, Jiang Fei had saved Shroder’s life. Subconsciously, both Shroder and Berry willingly believed Jiang Fei word for word.
“Darn it! Darn it! These darned people of Tokyo! They are playing with fire!” Shroder exclaimed after hearing Jiang Fei out. He immediately realized that he and Berry had been fooled. The person who told them he had seen Jenny on this small island was a ninja from Tokyo.
As Tokyo was basically the major rice-exporting country’s watchdog, Shroder had never suspected them for being malicious. He had never thought they would be betrayed. Now that he thought about it, there were indeed a few cases of missing Level Two and Level Three mutants recently. When he put two and two together, Shroder felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
“I am sorry, Brother Jiang Fei. All this is too shocking. We have to return to North America to report this information! I can’t chat with you any longer!” Shroder said to Jiang Fei.
“Alright! Have a safe trip!” Jiang Fei’s objective had been achieved. It was his plan all along to expose the j.a.panese’s plot!
