Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2460 - 1824: An Attack That Begins and Ends Instantly (3)
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Faced with such a spectacle, this individual remained remarkably calm.
Did he possess no concept of fear?
On both sides of the confrontation, a seed of admiration for Bai Xiaosheng began to sprout.
"Are all of you here for me?" Bai Xiaosheng boomed with laughter. "Or perhaps for what I hold in my hand?"
Unsurprisingly, no one offered Bai Xiaosheng a response.
Bai Xiaosheng pressed on, "But do you truly comprehend who I am? Do you understand the immense value contained within the core business secrets of over a dozen companies that I possess? Are you aware of the dire consequences your actions could invite?"
Despite Bai Xiaosheng’s repeated inquiries, silence was the only reply.
"How utterly ridiculous. Who does he imagine he's intimidating?" Cilio scoffed from within his car. "I shall make my move today, and then I'll skillfully shift all blame onto those people on the other side. Isn't that a simple solution?"
Cilio’s intention was for the opposing faction to shoulder the blame, while the opposing faction, it seemed, desired the same outcome for him.
It was an unspoken understanding, a peculiar coincidence of intent.
The two assembled groups edged even closer once more.
A few mere words from Bai Xiaosheng proved insufficient to halt their advance.
Lei Ying stood impassively at Bai Xiaosheng's side; as long as Bai Xiaosheng was not in immediate peril, he maintained his stillness.
Lin Weiwei observed Bai Xiaosheng with a palpable sense of unease.
Although previous assurances had been given, witnessing so many individuals brandishing weapons instinctively instilled fear within her.
"It appears you fail to grasp the gravity of your current actions!" Bai Xiaosheng uttered with a soft sigh.
He then raised both his arms, gesturing towards a specific point down the alley. "Look behind yourselves!"
This directive elicited a reaction; both factions could not resist turning their gazes to where he indicated.
Even Cilio, observing from his vehicle, felt compelled to follow suit.
However, after a prolonged period of observation, not a single figure materialized at the alley's extremities.
"You scoundrel, attempting to deceive us even now!" Cilio erupting in anger within his car, struck his fist against the dashboard. "Ensure that when you finally strike him, you aim specifically for his face!"
Cilio's frustration stemmed from being momentarily deceived.
The individuals from the opposing group also displayed signs of irritation, raising their weapons with evident annoyance.
But at that precise moment, a tremendous roar echoed, the very air seemed to ripple, and a powerful gust of wind swept through the confined space of the alley.
Swiftly, two helicopters appeared, one after the other, from opposite ends of the alley.
These helicopters were manned by fully armed soldiers, and incredibly, equipped with mounted machine guns.
"Everyone, immediately lay down your weapons! This is your only warning – everyone, put down your weapons!" While the thrumming of the rotors was deafening, the amplified voice from the loudspeaker commanded even greater attention.
The command was direct and delivered with cold finality!
The members of both groups stared upwards at the menacing helicopters, utterly dumbfounded. Without uttering a word, they released their grips on their weapons and raised their hands into the air.
After all, they were merely hired hands, seeking payment; their lives were not worth risking for such a meager sum.
Inside his car, Cilio’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stammered, "Sweet heavens, where on earth did these come from?"
The sheer force of the wind made it difficult to speak loudly, prompting Bai Xiaosheng to mutter to himself, "You see, I am a guest of the Huaxia Business Group. Naturally, security is a paramount concern, specially arranged by Lekram. I hadn't anticipated... I had reported the situation in advance, and these formidable forces have arrived. Quite impressive, indeed."
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also gazed in astonishment at the two colossal machines hovering above; with such imposing protectors in attendance, who would dare exhibit any form of arrogance?
"Everything has unfolded precisely as planned; it’s progressing exactly as we anticipated, without a hint of deviation. I'm almost feeling a touch bored, with no opportunity to showcase any real skill," Lei Ying remarked, leaning against the car door with his chin resting in his hand.
In truth, a sense of relief washed over him, considering the armed threat posed by the opponents.
Not long after, the piercing wail of sirens filled the air.
A considerable contingent of police officers emerged from both ends of the alley.
The planned assault for today, through sheer coincidence, encountered pre-arranged security measures, concluding without a single shot fired.
However, for specific individuals and concerning certain matters, this event merely signifies the beginning!
