Several people received the notice and rushed to the treasury at the fastest possible speed. "One of my subordinates, sounding quite委屈, said, 'What kind of mouse could possibly drill through 30 centimeters of stone and an additional 10 centimeters of steel?' Yuri thought to himself, yes, even a large drilling rig would take considerable time to make a hole. 'So, who stole my money?' he shouted, 'If I find out who it was, I'll tear them to pieces!' Seeing that everyone was beginning to lose confidence, he quickly added, 'Don't worry—my promised salaries will be fully paid. Though my treasure vault is now empty, my account balance hasn't diminished a single cent. I'll have no trouble supporting you all. As long as you remain loyal to me, there's even a possibility of a salary increase!' Yet, some people remained doubtful, finding his words unconvincing. Then, a crisp sound—'patter'—echoed through the room. Everyone turned to see a round hand grenade lying on the ground. Who could have been so careless?" Yurius Kin had intended to shout a few words, but when he saw the damaged handle on the mortar had disappeared, it became clear that the delayed-explosion fuse inside had been activated. With remarkable agility, he darted behind several of his subordinates, who still hadn't grasped what was happening—by the time they realized it, the mortar had already exploded. Boom... Under the onslaught of shrapnel and steel fragments, nearly a dozen people close enough were knocked down, half of them killed instantly, and several others farther away sustained injuries. Indeed, Yurius Kin, as the leader of this group, had already taken off running—had anyone accidentally dropped a mortar, it would surely not have exploded. Now that it had exploded, coupled with the fact that the treasury had been emptied, it could no longer be considered mere coincidence. A few quick-thinking men joined him in fleeing, and the treasury echoed once again with the sound of explosions. "It must be enemy infiltrators among us! Close the doors quickly!" he shouted. Two attendants closed the treasury doors together, ignoring the cries of their companions inside. Then, a third explosion rang out. The danger had finally been isolated, yet Yuris Kin remained shaken. Seizing the moment when his subordinates were distracted, he suddenly drew his pistol and fired at them. Boom. Boom. Boom... Three fell to the ground. The remaining two—one bolted for the exit, the other instinctively raised his gun to resist. Yuris kicked the resister to the ground and crushed his head. Then, he aimed and dispatched the fleeing one. Finally, he fired two more shots into the three who had not yet fully perished, until his ammunition was exhausted. Only then did he breathe deeply and say, "Don't blame me. I simply couldn't be certain who the enemies were. The safest course was to eliminate all of you. Only then could I feel truly at ease. Of course, you won't die in vain—full compensation will be delivered to your families without a single cent missing." "说完，他扔掉了空弹匣的手枪，准备转身离开。" Qin Feng's voice rang out. "Do you think you can still make it?" Yu Liusin staggered on his feet. Turning around, he gasped, "It's you! You're one of Su Kui's people! Why are you treating me so badly?" "Good memory, isn't it? You sent someone to the hunting grounds just two days ago, right?" He played with the gun as he spoke. "It was you who treated me poorly first—now you're asking me what's wrong?" Yu Liusin remembered the most important point: "Your money—wasn't it stolen from me?" "Haha," Qin Feng said honestly. "Yes, it was me." For someone who was about to die, there was no point in lying. He continued: "Not just your money—your luxury cars parked in the garage—I've had to take them all!" "What?" Yuri's eyes began to blaze, and he longed to launch himself at the man, punch him senseless—yet he had no gun in his hands. Facing off alone, even the sturdy Guev was no match for him, let alone himself. He started to regret it. If only he had known that his subordinates had betrayed him, he should never have killed them. Though they weren't capable of holding their own against Qin Feng, they could have bought him time to escape. "Since you've taken my money and my car, let's settle our old scores now," he began, subtly pleading for mercy. "Wake up," Qin Feng said, raising his gun and firing a bullet that struck precisely the man's leg. Yuri collapsed to the ground, too desperate to save his life to care about his dignity, and began to beg for mercy. "I have a question for you," Qin Feng said coldly. "You were fighting fiercely with Vladimir—why did you turn around and attack the Su family?" "Answer honestly," he said, "and I might just let you live!" "Exactly because everyone thought I had no time for anything else, they targeted the Su family. That way, no one would suspect me. Once I've settled matters with Vladimir, I can then turn my attention to the Tang people's alliance." He spoke plainly. "Indeed, a masterstroke." Qin Feng's smile grew even colder. "I've already given you my answer. Now, please let me go. I promise from this day forward I'll never oppose the Tang people's alliance again. I—" *Crack!* A bullet pierced his brow and burst out through his back, as he fell backward, still gasping, "You promised to spare my life—" Qin Feng scoffed, "I only said I was considering it. Which ear of yours heard me say I'd give you a chance to live? How dare you even think of touching my women? From the moment you had that thought, you were already dead!" A group of people rushed toward them, drawn by the explosion earlier. *Ha!* What a gift this was—right in the open. With just a single pistol and a sword that flashed up and down, many bodyguards were still unaware of what was happening when they fell dead. After clearing out these guards, Qin Feng began placing bombs throughout the area, and for extra safety, he returned to the weapons warehouse once more, fetching additional explosives. For some time, the dam echoed with a series of explosions, causing the massive structures to collapse, with smoke and mist blending into a thick haze. On a distant mountain peak, he counted the explosions while murmuring to himself, "The second one is taken care of. Now it's time for the first one. I truly hope he's as well-off as the second one—then I'll be able to make another profit."
