Chapter 440: Chapter 440

So even if space was at a premium, Jing Shu cleared some room for the robot, believing that with a clue, they wouldn’t have to worry about not finding Job Sibus.

At the same time, Jing Shu was also filled with anticipation. The luxurious and precious materials at Rhein Manor this time, things she couldn’t have imagined in her previous life, were merely trinkets to the wealthy—items they couldn’t take with them. When she finally found him, Jing Shu was eager to see what other, even more precious, assets he possessed.

None of the team members on the perimeter knew what Jing Shu was up to. Once they learned of the helicopter evacuation, they quickly retreated. The priest, having just arrived, led the nuns in a final sweep, and Jing Shu saw everything clearly.

From a distance, the priest proclaimed compassionately, "I will pass over you and strike down the humble beings of Egypt, and calamity shall not touch you and destroy you. The divine spirit said, do not be afraid; go forth, my brave children, and redeem them!"

The ladder dropped down, and Yang Yang jumped onto it. Below, Jing Shu tied the nearly incapacitated Monkey and the unconscious Hao Yunlai together, allowing Yang Yang to secure them to the ladder with a rope. Monkey and Hao Yunlai were then suspended above like hanged ghosts.

"Hurry up and get on!"

Yang Yang hooked his foot on the ladder, hanging upside down mid-air, as the helicopter hovered at varying altitudes.

"BOOM! BOOM!" Just then, explosions began from the center of Rhein Manor! Mushroom clouds rose into the sky, waves of heat rushed at them, and at the same time, colossal waves blasted the Underwater World upside down. The toughened glass instantly shattered into deadly shrapnel, flying everywhere and slicing through anything in its path!

The central explosives acted like a fuse, igniting the surrounding explosives in a domino effect visible to the naked eye. The ground began to shake ferociously, and mushroom clouds exploded throughout the vast Rhein Manor. The enormous noise made everyone’s ears ring, rendering them unable to hear anything being said.

Jing Shu had already packed the goods from the eighth secret chamber cleanly. Taking advantage of their distraction, she stuffed some more items into her storage space—items of undetermined nature but seemingly high-end. She would sort all these materials out later.

Jing Shu had wrapped the packed goods into seven or eight sacks, roped them together, and slung the entire chain over her shoulders. After returning the identity chip to the corpse, she took a sudden leap and grabbed onto the dangling Yang Yang.

"CRACK!" With a crisp snap, Yang Yang’s arms were broken from the impact of Jing Shu’s jump. Jing Shu, with all her parcels, weighed several hundred kilograms. Yang Yang’s perseverance kept him from being pulled down, his grip steadfast on the ladder.

Yang Yang’s face turned pale with pain, sweat pouring down, but he didn’t let out a scream.

Meanwhile, Jing Shu seized the last section of the ladder. "That was too close. Wait a moment. When it’s safer, I’ll set your arms for you."

"RUMBLE! RUMBLE!" The explosions grew closer. In just a matter of seconds, they spread from the center. Once the last person was on board, the helicopter surged upward tens of meters with all its might. Then, it throttled up fully but couldn’t ascend any more! It was overweight!

DRONE... The helicopter’s engines roared with the strain; the packages hanging below, like a string of kites, were suddenly yanked dozens of meters into the air.

"BOOM!" With a tremendous explosion, the self-destruct point at the base of the high tower finally detonated. An immense wave of heat surged towards them. Jing Shu felt as if her feet and face were about to catch fire. A mushroom cloud churned up beneath her as the helicopter rapidly left the scene, but it couldn’t avoid the lowest packages being affected by the blast.

A package broke away and fell. Jing Shu’s heart ached for a long time, wondering what precious item had been lost.

Jing Shu clung tightly to the ladder, not daring to let go. The helicopter also started to wobble; it was severely overloaded. They had said they were coming to rescue a few people. And while there were indeed only a few individuals, they also brought along a string of packages. The person at the very bottom was truly fierce, managing to carry such a large collective bundle without being strangled by it. In any case, the helicopter was quite unstable with the extra seven or eight hundred kilograms of weight.

The rumbling continued unabated. Just how much explosives had Job Sibus planted? The billion-dollar Underwater World was completely demolished, with even the outskirts affected.

The vast Lailin Manor was reduced to ruins in this explosion, all its buildings shattered. From aboard the helicopter, Jing Shu saw the once magnificent manor now a vast sprawl of wreckage, spreading rapidly to the side beneath the dense smoke.

The helicopter flew toward the Canal. After a few minutes, it finally escaped the blast area, meeting up with Tan Ke and his group. At the same time, several more helicopters appeared in the sky, and many armored vehicles emerged from Zhuangyan Temple, indicating the severity of the incident.

Just as Jing Shu had anticipated, the robot successfully relayed a message. Reinforcements were arriving en masse, though it was unclear if they were from the Government or some other faction.

After dropping off Jing Shu and her group, the helicopter hastily fled. Jing Shu and her associates successfully boarded cargo ship No. 808 awaiting them and took advantage of the chaos to escape.

It was expected that news of billionaire Job Sibus’s death would soon make headlines in the United States. Meanwhile, the priest, with the few remaining nuns, went to tie up loose ends. In New York, the priest still wielded considerable power, although he remained a mystery to this day. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

Tan Ke, looking at the horrific scene, said angrily, "Shouldn’t we report that Job Sibus isn’t actually dead and that this incident was his premeditated fake death?"

Zhen Nantian, frowning, took out a social media app and handed it to Jing Shu. There was no choice; both of Yang Yang’s hands were broken, and both Monkey and Hao Yunlai were unconscious, leaving Jing Shu as the only able-bodied person.

Zhen Nantian said, "You are wanted by the United States. Now the whole country knows, and your photos are all over the major social networks. Many forces in the US definitely want to find you, as some formulas are in your possession. Of course..."

"If you were presumed dead in this explosion, things might be a little better."

"So, we can’t report or disclose anything. Anyone with the slightest connection to this matter will be implicated."

Snake Spirit frowned. "Those other helicopters saw ours just now, but they didn’t have time to intervene. Besides, if they inspect the site and don’t find any bodies, they’ll still be suspicious."

Lingling wiped her gun. "There will still be a grace period. As long as we escape back to Huaxia, they won’t be able to find us."

Jing Shu stood up, clenched her fists, and rubbed her hands together, then added, "Of course, we can’t let others know the billionaire is still alive in this world. I’ve saved the robot’s chip. If we can find this man in the future, his wealth will be all ours!"
