Boom!
The ship's captain, who had been chatting away, suddenly exploded into a firework display right in front of everyone. Various splattered bits and pieces instantly covered several people nearby.
Li Qingyuan helplessly lowered his left hand, which he had been using to shield his eyes. He should have used less explosive.
It was the first time he had been splattered like this, and by a man no less. It was somewhat awkward.
"What happened?"
The other sailors were immediately terrified. They didn't even bother to wipe the blood off their bodies, instead looking around in a panic.
If these were elite soldiers, they would have at least drawn their weapons and scattered to find cover. They wouldn't have been like these sailors, who would be sitting ducks if there really were enemies!
But considering that they were just a bunch of low-level bandits, you couldn't expect them to have the same skills as a special forces soldier.
"I really don't want to kill anyone. Why can't you just safely get us out of here?" Li Qingyuan spread his hands helplessly, speaking calmly.
To be honest, the first time he killed someone, and got sprayed in the face while doing it, he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable; in fact, he was even a little excited.
It could only be said that the original body definitely had an antisocial personality. He, on the other hand, had been law-abiding for over thirty years, and the biggest living thing he'd ever killed was a chicken.
"You? You did it?" The boat captain was the first to react, frantically trying to pull his gun from his waist. But the more he rushed, the more chaotic he became, and he couldn't even open his holster.
These guys running black boats were like Yama Kings when facing isolated and helpless stowaways, but in reality, they were just creatures at the bottom of the food chain.
If they had any real skills, they wouldn't have ended up running black boats in the first place.
"I advise you to feel around the back of your pants before you try to draw your gun, but I suggest you do it gently, or it'll probably blow up immediately!" Li Qingyuan kindly reminded him.
"You! What did you do?" The ship's captain, who had been about to draw his gun, immediately stopped, and the bodies of several sailors froze as well.
Everyone looked at each other, finally noticing something resembling chewing gum stuck to their belts.
People running black market ships naturally weren't the cleanest, so a little dirt on their clothes wouldn't bother them. Besides, who would normally pay attention to the back of their belt?
"C4 Plastic Explosive. You've already seen its power. I just need to press a button, and you'll go boom just like him—" Li Qingyuan said casually, pointing at the large, unrecognizable chunk of body on the ground.
Did they really think he shook hands with everyone when he boarded the ship just to be friendly?
Moreover, to be prepared for any eventuality, he had installed a lot of explosives on the ship while pretending to enjoy the scenery. Even if these guys had discovered the chewing gum explosives earlier, he could still threaten them by blowing up the ship.
With Demolition Expert, he could now be considered an absolute bomb expert, and a top-tier one at that, without any exaggeration.
If he had stayed in Sokovia, this skill would have definitely made him a hot commodity, sought after by several warlords.
Or, he could probably go to a chaotic place like South America or Africa and become a local tyrant!
However, for Li Qingyuan, who had an infinite future, that kind of lazy life wasn't what he wanted. What he wanted was the stars and the sea!
Under the threat of explosives, several boatmen immediately yielded. They just wanted to earn some money, they didn't want to lose their lives.
So, in an atmosphere of friendly harmony, Li Qingyuan put a metal vest on everyone else, a reinforced version at that.
After all, the chewing gum in their waistbands wasn't very safe. What if it accidentally blew up when they took their pants down to use the restroom?
It was better to have everyone wear metal vests; that would be safe and secure!
The captain, along with several sailors, all looked like they'd lost their mothers. They were all just rough guys, and the most advanced technology they usually used was the pistol in their pockets. When had they ever heard of a hydraulic mental instability explosive device?
Anyone with a ticking bomb strapped to their chest would probably have a mental breakdown!
The captain cursed the boatswain tens of thousands of times in his heart. He knew this young man looked like a fierce eagle with a predatory gaze and wasn't someone to be trifled with. But that guy insisted on making a move. Now, look what happened!
Not only was he doomed to a horrific death, but it also meant that he himself was now carrying a time bomb.
The group cautiously traveled overnight, completing a journey that would normally take four days in less than three. Taking advantage of the dim light of dawn, Li Qingyuan, along with Wanda and her brother, stepped onto Italian soil.
Italy was famous for its pasta, then for its artillery, and finally, for the Italian Mafia!
As for the Italian military?
Let's not go there, this isn't a comedy channel.
The Italian Mafia, compared to those Sokovian thugs running black market ships, were clearly of a higher caliber. After receiving a fee of $200,000, Li Qingyuan instantly went from being a Sokovian black market resident to a legitimate Italian-Chinese citizen. Wanda and Pietro became his younger siblings from different mothers.
This was all real information that could be found in the database. The person handling the paperwork took him directly to the city hall to input it, so no matter who checked, it would be absolutely true.
After staying in Italy for two days, he used his new identity to buy plane tickets to New York and head to America.
After all, Christmas is just around the corner, and next year is when Iron Man will make his debut! I definitely need to go and get the first-hand information!
Forget everything else, making a fortune depends on Iron Man!
"The target has departed from Rome and is flying to New York!"
After Li Qingyuan boarded the plane with Wanda and Pietro, a handsome young white man rushed to the airport and reported into his earpiece.
"Have our people meet him in New York, and see if we can recruit him!" An old voice immediately came from the communicator.
"Understood!" The young man, who had received the order, replied without changing his expression.
He never expected that a simple investigation mission in Italy would lead him to a Demolition Expert!
Thinking of eliminating the roots and erasing all traces, Li Qingyuan blew up the fishing boat after it had sailed a distance from the shore. In his opinion, no one would pay attention to a broken fishing boat sunk in the Mediterranean Sea.
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, cleverness can backfire!
If he hadn't caused that explosion, he might not have encountered this troublesome situation.
