Chapter 18 I'll Take the Lead

A trained apprentice Witcher, without the use of potions, can hunt most low-level monsters if well-prepared or with the help of others.

A proper witcher who takes a potion can hunt most mid-level monsters if they are well prepared.

As for high-level monsters, they require experienced high-level demon hunters to deal with them.

"Based on the strength of martial artists, low-level demons are martial arts enthusiasts, mid-level demons are martial arts forging enthusiasts, and the strength of high-level demons is difficult to classify, with a very small number reaching the level of Qi and Blood Condensation." Jiang Yanming determined the strength of the demons based on his memory.

As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, he believed he could contend with Qi Condensation experts above the Mingwu level, and at least in terms of survival skills, he would not lose.

After all, he had multiple protective magic artifacts for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, as well as a protective jade talisman left behind by a Nascent Soul stage expert, which was enough to ensure his safety.

It wasn't that he looked down on monsters, but there were very few high-level monsters that could tear apart armored vehicles with their bare hands, not to mention that most of the existing monsters were low-level or mid-level.

"The monsters are nothing to worry about, but their purpose..." Jiang Yanming frowned slightly.

The memories of witchers contain magic, which makes even weak monsters a force to be reckoned with; no one knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

That's why when Chairman Furen suspected that the monster was performing a ritual, he rushed back to the Demon Hunter headquarters to find out the monster's purpose in doing so, so that he could carry out a targeted strike.

"Let's put the trouble with the monsters aside for now. The most important thing right now is to solve the immediate problem!" Jiang Yanming snapped out of his thoughts. "We should get results from Senior Brother in five days at most."

……

the next morning.

January 20, 348 Gregorian calendar.

As usual, Jiang Yanming wrote his paper for a while, then sorted out the problems he encountered and sent an email to Professor Tarot for advice.

jingle……

A somewhat jarring ringtone sounded, and Jiang Yanming picked up his phone to see that it was his senior brother, Kotak, calling.

"Junior Brother Jiang, the results are in." Kotak's hoarse voice rang out. "Come to the martial arts gym."

"Okay." Jiang Yanming replied calmly, but his eyes narrowed slightly. This day had finally come.

Jiang Yanming got up and tidied his desk. After thinking for a moment, he took the truck key that Uncle Li had given him. With a thought, he confirmed that the remaining 55 kilograms of gold were in his storage ring, then opened the door and went out.

"Father, I'll take some of the things from the truck," Jiang Yanming said to Jiang Yi, who was sitting behind the counter, as he carried a large suitcase out of the house. "I won't be back for lunch."

Jiang Yi spoke up, warning, "Be careful, don't make me bail you out."

"No, it won't happen," Jiang Yanming replied confidently, pushing open the door and leaving the "general store".

He has a storage ring that can hold all the weapons and equipment in the truck, so there's no chance of him being arrested.

Jiang Yanming came to the street and saw the truck parked on the side of the road. He used his key to open the truck's cargo door and saw unknown items covered by a tarpaulin, which almost filled the entire cargo compartment.

He boarded the truck, forced himself inside, and as he closed the door, stored all the weapons and equipment in the truck into his storage ring. As the weapons and equipment disappeared, the truck, which had sunk slightly, immediately returned to its normal level.

Although Jiang Yanming knew that taking all the weapons and equipment at once would leave a big opening.

But he still did it anyway, because no one else would know that he had a storage ring, since that's not scientifically sound!

Afterwards, Jiang Yanming got out of the car with a large suitcase, put the suitcase in the trunk of his car, and drove straight to Jingtao Martial Arts School.

……

Jingtao Martial Arts School, fourth-floor lounge.

When Jiang Yanming entered the lounge, he saw his senior brother Kotak sitting inside, with a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a slightly rugged appearance next to him, dressed in gray casual clothes suitable for exercise.

"Junior Brother Jiang, this is my partner. She will represent our team in negotiations with you," Kotak introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." The woman stood up and extended her right hand. "My name is Liya."

"Hello." Jiang Yanming shook hands with him and noticed that the other man had calluses on his hands, as if they had formed from holding a gun for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang, our investigation has revealed that your target is not simple," Liya said meaningfully. "He is ostensibly a university professor, but in reality, he is a shareholder of the Victoria Group. He frequently visits several important laboratories of the Victoria Group and is suspected to be the person in charge of these laboratories. He also has a strong security force around him."

"So, what's your quote?" Jiang Yanming asked directly.

"We have prepared two options, and the prices differ depending on the option."

Liya took a data storage device out of her pocket, inserted it into the laptop on the table that was not connected to the internet, and finally turned the computer screen towards Jiang Yanming.

"Please take a look at one of our plans. This plan involves taking action on the target's way home. We have selected multiple sniping locations..."

As Liya operated the computer, she explained the advantages and disadvantages, finally stating the pros and cons: "This plan has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that there are many evacuation routes, a high safety factor, and a low price."

"But the drawbacks are also obvious. Because it is a long-range sniping, follow-up shots may not be timely, so the target may survive."

"What about the second option?" Jiang Yanming immediately rejected the first option in his mind after hearing it.

The assassination attempt on the professor's way home seems to have a high chance of success, but there are too many variables. It might be blocked by the hidden forces of the Four Nations Alliance coming to his rescue.

"This second option is a radical and risky one," Liya cautioned. "It carries a high risk factor, so it's also much more expensive than the first option."

"Speak," Jiang Yanming urged.

"It's simple, the second plan is to launch a full-scale attack on the target's residence!" Liya operated the computer, and Professor Tarot's address map appeared on the screen.

"The target lives in the wealthy Bay Area, but it seems that in order to fit his professor status, he does not reside in the Long Island neighborhood with the strongest security."

Liya explained, "The South Bay neighborhood where the target lives is a 3-minute drive from Long Island neighborhood, which has the strongest defenses. That's enough time for us to launch a strong attack, but the retreat route is a bit troublesome..."

"The second option!" Jiang Yanming said directly. "I will be responsible for providing electronic jammers, which should be able to cut off the target's connection with the outside world. In addition, I will provide a large number of electronic pulse rockets, which will be enough to deal with the cyborgs and electronic hackers protecting the target."

"If that's the case, then our mission will be much simpler. After all, to avoid alerting the enemy, the accuracy rate of the intelligence we gather is at most 90%," Liya said with a relaxed expression. "Because our people are responsible for the main attack and intercepting the rescue forces, our quote is..."

"Wait!" Jiang Yanming raised his hand to interrupt, "I'll take the lead, you guys assist me."
