I Have A Martial Dao World

"Every time it's some blacked-out phone, don't you guys believe in human rights?"

Lu Yao casually sat on the sofa and struck up a conversation with the female agent before him.

Janice aimed the camera at Uncle Three's family and even tore off the tape from Lu Zhenghong's mouth. Lu Zhenghong immediately screamed:

"Lu Yao, save me~ Save me! Just agree to them, agree to them! Come and swap us out!"

Lu Yao burst out laughing on the spot: "So it really was you guys at the airport that day."

Janice saw his genuine smile and realized the hostages in her hands... were truly useless!

She resealed the hostage's mouth and said:

[Mr. Lu, don't think you're safe just because you're in Xia Country. I've already located your home address, I can send someone to arrest you at any time, or even fire missiles.]

"Cut the crap, missiles now? Do I need to remind you—the Qing Dynasty has been dead for over a hundred years. It's not your turn to act recklessly in Xia Country."

Lu Yao sneered: "But feel free to come, send someone formidable, don't send another useless person like your last colleague."

Janice's gaze turned icy as she pointed at the three hostages and said further:

[We will tirelessly capture those you care about, your loved ones, and they will suffer unspeakable tortures, just because you took something you shouldn't have.]

"Bring on whatever tricks you have, but I'll retaliate just the same, like going on a killing spree at your headquarters, for example."

Lu Yao moved his fingers to click open a webpage and said:

"The headquarters of the Foreign Affairs Bureau is in the Star Alliance Country, in Langley Town, F State... The internet is quite advanced, it's really easy to find."

Janice watched, without blinking, the Asian male on the screen, while an entire team behind her analyzed Lu Yao's expressions and tone.

But without analysis, she knew that as he spoke these words, he was calm and steady, very sure he could make good on his threat.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And considering his track record of wiping out an entire Delta Force team alone, he really did have that sort of confidence.

[Mr. Lu, you're too confident, and you lack respect for Blue Star's largest intelligence organization.]

"I need to correct you, the ones who are overly confident are you guys. By the way, aren't you afraid I'll post the formula online?"

Janice laughed, taunting:

[You wouldn't do that, my dear champion of justice. You know that would be like opening Pandora's box; any high school chemistry lab could make Ice Crystal Tablets, Blue Star would become a place of utter chaos.]

[Profile assessment shows... you possess the morality and righteousness of Xia Country people, that word is... justice? So, you won't release the formula.]

No doubt, the psychological profile the Foreign Affairs Bureau constructed based on Lu Yao's life was incredibly accurate.

Lu Yao tapped lightly on the table: "Knowing the terrible consequences of the formula, why still seek it out? Don't tell me you plan to safeguard it properly."

Janice shifted her crossed legs, voice rising: [Need counter-terrorism funds, or fighting crime? Intelligence agencies are always short on money, with the formula they probably won't be anymore.]

"..."

[Don't just look at me like that, if you think of opium as something like tobacco, it's really not that terrible. It has become a unique part of our country's culture.]

Lu Yao was completely speechless: "No wonder it's from a country that occupies 60% of the global opium market..."

With that said, he didn't want to continue the conversation.

But Janice still wasn't giving up: [Mr. Lu, handing over the formula is your only way out. Or you could also try to negotiate.]

Lu Yao tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Dream on, I'm not giving it to you."

[You're courting death! You will regret it...]

"Then let's put our divine skills to the test, and see who has the last laugh."

Lu Yao directly crushed the phone into pieces, cutting off the video.

~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao rushed to the supermarket downstairs and borrowed the mobile phone of the owner's daughter.

The young girl's face turned red as she handed over the phone. After Lu Yao thanked her, he first called the couple, Li Jin and Zhao Ya.

He heard Zhao Ya's voice tinged with excitement:

"Lu Yao! That Mr. Semyon you introduced last time is a very knowledgeable engineer. I've discussed a lot with him and have learned immensely. Your battle armor will be designed soon!"

"Okay, trouble Zhao for that. Is Li there?"

Li Jin's voice came through, "Here I am, little brother, if you've got anything, just say it."

"Li, my phone just got hacked, they forced a video call on me. Do you have one of those... safer phones?"

"Well, there is one, called a personal PDA, very popular among geeks in recent years.

It's essentially a computer, with very good confidentiality for the system, and the phone function is just one of its modules.

To hack into it, they'd first have to break through the peripheral system and slowly locate the module. It can be set to automatically disconnect from the network upon illegal entry... "

"Good, that's the one! Li, help me get one and send it to the supermarket downstairs from my place, I'll transfer the money to you in a bit."

"Hey, don't worry about the money for such a small thing, I'll give you one. I've made a lot mining lately~"

Lu Yao asked, "By the way, you guys better not go to the Star Alliance Country... anyway, just don't go abroad."

Li Jin said with surprise, "Little brother! Do you think we still dare to go abroad? Our whole family doesn't dare to step over the national border for the rest of our lives!"

This unfortunate family indeed dared not go abroad anymore. Lu Yao laughed, "Okay then, I'll hang up first."

Then he called his sister Li Lei to come downstairs to pick him up.

~~~~~~~~~

When returning the mobile phone to the owner's daughter, the young girl's face was blushingly red and her eyes misted over.

Although Lu Yao was wearing sunglasses at the moment, he was very close to her.

After the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, the pure and robust aura of his body had the young girl utterly infatuated, and she couldn't help but eagerly strike up a conversation with Lu Yao, desperately wanting the Extraordinary Seed.

They had only spoken a few words when Li Lei arrived. The young girl watched with eyes wide as Lu Yao got into the beautiful, wealthy woman's luxury car and drove away, her eyes filled with loss.

~~~~~~~~

"I have some Star Alliance currency in cash, about a few million. Can you handle that?"

"No problem, I have foreign trade business."

Li Lei answered casually, but she looked a bit haggard and preoccupied.

Lu Yao then asked, "How's the drug extraction going?"

Li Lei sighed and said with frustration, "My old man... that woman who scammed him, somehow heard he's in charge of the lab and came back."

"What?" Lu Yao said in surprise, "Then what happened?"

Li Lei showed a hint of embarrassment, "The old man really let me down, got so bamboozled, chasing after love... But we're just shy of completing the drug extraction. Once those scammers realize he has no money, they'll naturally leave."

"How about calling the police?"

"They're from a professional scam group from Yi State, leaving no trace at all. I've already asked around; there's nothing to be done, not even deportation."

Lu Yao's expression cooled, "Professional scam group... Do you know where they are?"

"They're at the Tianding International Hotel." Realizing what she'd said, Li Lei asked in alarm, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, I won't do anything illegal, don't worry."

Lu Yao manipulated a few strands of Inner Breath around his fingertips as he spoke slowly.
