"Looking at the whole world, there are probably very few High-level Gods of War who could produce such wealth!"
Wang Tong and Li Kan were also moved. This price was enough to get several High-level Gods of War to join forces.
Ordinary Gods of War could easily earn a few hundred billion a year if they worked hard, but Gods of War also spent money at an astonishing rate. Weapons, protective gear, combat suits, secret manuals, and so on – everything used by Gods of War came at a terrifying price.
No joke, many Gods of War around the world were still carrying bank loans!
The HR Alliance was the world's top super family consortium, controlling over half of the global economy and even monopolizing many industries.
As the executive director of HR in the country of Hanxia, Vinena's wealth was naturally astonishing!
Soon.
With the efficiency of the HR Alliance, within a minute of Vinena issuing the bounty, the news spread throughout the warrior circles worldwide.
Jiangnan Base City, Limit Dojo.
Zhuge Tao, who had just finished a meeting, opened his communicator and saw that Luo Feng had contacted him. Just as he was about to reply, a message directly stunned him.
"A 150 billion bounty?"
Zhuge Tao's mouth dropped open, his heart pounding. The sheer scale of the wealth was staggering.
Even he, the martial arts hall supervisor for the base city, couldn't help but feel a thrill.
"Only Vulture & Scorpion have that kind of assets. A normal God of War probably couldn't come up with three to five hundred billion."
While amazed, Zhuge Tao understood clearly. The culprit who prompted such a bounty from the couple had to be a God of War, perhaps even a High-level God of War!
"Let's see what's happening on the God of War Forum!"
With a thought, Zhuge Tao opened his computer and logged into the God of War Forum.
Normally, as a High-level War General, he wouldn't be eligible to access the forum. However, as the base city's martial arts hall supervisor, he had the privilege.
"With such a sky-high bounty, the entire God of War Forum is indeed in an uproar!"
Zhuge Tao shook his head with a smile, then his expression shifted slightly. "A Mid-level God of War also died at the scene?"
"Kitahara Go?"
"That little weasel dares to sneak into City 003? He's asking for death!"
"Wait, Jiang Li and Luo Feng are in City 003. Could something have happened?!"
Zhuge Tao then realized what was going on and immediately opened his communicator to contact Luo Feng!
Meanwhile.
Jiang Li had already met up with the Firehammer Squad.
On the sixteenth-floor rooftop in the suburbs of City 003.
The other members of the Firehammer Squad stared at Jiang Li with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock.
"God, Jiang-ge, you actually took down a God of War?"
Wei Qing's expression was so shocked that his features were contorting: "Should I call you Jiang-ye from now on?! Ouch!"
"Just you wait!"
Wei Tie knocked his younger brother on the head, then worriedly said, "Didn't Jiang-ye say that the mixed-blood youth was also killed by him? His background is huge!"
"You two never take anything seriously!"
Gao Feng glared at them both, annoyed: "Jiang-ye… uh!"
"Jiang Li, you mean the mixed-blood youth's parents can't deal with you, but they'll take their anger out on us?"
"Most likely!"
Before Jiang Li could answer, Luo Feng directly sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Look at the latest news from the HR Alliance!"
"The highest reward in history?"
"150 billion!"
Seeing this news, the other members of Firehammer Squad gasped, taking seven or eight breaths of cold air. How terrifying would the level of anger have to be to offer such a huge bounty?
"150 billion?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up when he saw the amount: "I even want to report myself!"
Hearing this, everyone shivered: "Jiang, please don't be impulsive!"
To say that the other members of Firehammer Squad weren't the least bit afraid was a lie.
The God of War couple, a sky-high bounty, every word was filled with killing intent!
As for Jiang Li?
Luo Feng and the others wouldn't doubt what he said! His strength was right there, he'd easily killed even a Mid-level God of War, and the Vulture & Scorpion were ninety-nine percent helpless against him!
"Hey, what's there to worry about?"
Chen Gu said frankly, "If it weren't for Jiang Li, we would have been killed by that Kitahara Go long ago!"
"That's right!"
Zhang Ke grinned and said, "Since they're putting out a bounty, it means Vulture & Scorpion don't have any evidence. As long as we keep our mouths shut, who would know that Jiang Li killed them?"
Suddenly.
Luo Feng felt the communicator on his wrist vibrate, and he looked down.
"It's Supervisor Zhuge!"
Luo Feng suddenly remembered, "When I was escaping, I contacted Supervisor Zhuge…"
Facing a God of War, even if Luo Feng wanted to help, he was powerless. He could only see if he could help through connections.
And Zhuge Tao was his biggest connection at the moment.
Jiang Li understood this, smiling slightly, "Luo Feng, you have a good heart."
Then, Luo Feng answered the phone.
"Hello, Luo Feng, what's the matter?" Zhuge Tao's voice came through.
"Yes, Supervisor Zhuge."
Luo Feng's eyes darted around, and a flash of inspiration struck him. "We encountered a small-scale rat plague in City 003, and we're worried it might escalate, so we wanted to report the situation to you!"
"Hmm? Don't worry about that. The rat plague won't amount to much in City 003!"
Zhuge Tao instructed, "But..." City 003 is full of dangers. You must be extra careful when hunting monsters, understand?"
Zhuge Tao didn't even consider that Li Wei's death was related to them. After all, a Mid-level God of War had died, and those below that level wouldn't be suspected.
"I think this will be hard to hide eventually!"
Gao Feng pondered seriously, sounding somewhat pessimistic. "Now that a God of War is dead, Vulture & Scorpion don't suspect Jiang Li yet because his identity information hasn't been updated. The dojo currently shows Jiang Li as a High-level War General. Even if they know he's a Spiritual Reader, he's only a suspect at most!"
"But once the information is updated, it's basically confirmed."
Gao Feng's guess wasn't unreasonable.
"Then, what does the captain mean...?"
Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the Wei brothers all frowned.
"What I mean is..."
Gao Feng's eyes narrowed as he said seriously, "We should make more money during this time..."
"Once things are exposed, we'll hide in the Limit Dojo and not go out. I don't believe Vulture & Scorpion will dare to come to the dojo and take their anger out on us!"
Everyone: "(⊙▽⊙)"
Alright then.
That idea made sense; after all, they didn't kill the people!
If anyone dared to openly target the Limit Dojo's martial artists, they'd have to face the world's strongest person's wrath!
"But Jiang Li..."
Luo Feng was still worried.
"Luo Feng, you don't need to worry about me."
Jiang Li strolled over to the railing, gazing at the starry sky and confidently saying, "Even if they bring someone stronger than a God of War, they still won't be able to do anything to me!"
Seeing Jiang Li's back as he looked up at the stars, Luo Feng's heart, filled with the ambition of a warrior, seemed to solidify instantly!
Right!
At Jiang Li's cultivation speed, how long would it take to surpass a God of War? Six months? A year?!
Others might not know, but Luo Feng knew very well. He and Jiang Li took the assessment at the same time. Although he had made rapid progress and was already at the level of a Mid-level War General.
What about Jiang Li?
He instantly ascended, reaching the God of War realm! ...
At the same time.
In the chat group.
The previously spirited Zombie Taoist suddenly became terrified and sent out a plea for help.
[Zombie Taoist: Holy crap! Calling out to Big Boss Jiang Li, Big Boss, save me!]
