My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1179 - 1082: Making a Killing! Kill Order!
The sky was clear for thousands of miles.
Combat aircraft soared through it.
As the large cargo plane began to slowly descend, preparing to land,
four heavy fighters, escorting it all the way from Nanzhou with their large external fuel tanks, wobbled their wings as a sign of farewell and departure.
Whooosh!!!
The fighters pulled out beautiful azure flame columns as they engaged their afterburners and broke away.
The cargo plane, with its navigation lights blinking, drew ever closer to the airport.
At the moment the wheels touched down on the runway and the aircraft shuddered, Tang Xiao couldn’t help it and fiercely punched the air with her fist.
Finally, we’re back!
After a perilous journey, we’ve finally returned safely.
In the cabin, everyone could hardly contain their excitement and burst into cheers and leaps of joy.
Perhaps because the mission was accomplished successfully, and everyone had returned safely.
Or maybe it was due to Wu Jie’s promise of a reward, allowing them to take away as many gold bars as they could by their own efforts.
Of course, there was also the joy and relief of having escaped death.
On this journey, they had encountered intercepting combat aircraft showing off military might, been rejected by Bihu Continent to cross their airspace and forced to detour, the cargo plane being maliciously remotely hijacked, and a fuel crisis...
No one ever thought that this flight would be so filled with obstacles and dangers.
And before this.
In Nabigu Continent, in order to investigate the theft of the Star Federation’s nuclear warheads, they went through many twists and turns and faced numerous dangers.
Especially for those who, while on board the War Statistics Institute’s special aircraft, had experienced being shot down, surrounded, and bombarded, their excitement was even more pronounced.
Just like those who have endured poverty and hunger understand how precious a life of comfort is.
Only those who have lived through war and turmoil can truly appreciate the ease of peace and stability.
Everyone’s faces wore their joy, smiling exceptionally brightly.
And of course, Wu Jie was smiling too.
But not because they were free from danger, or had returned safely.
But because his energy points were increasing at an unprecedented, insane rate.
That’s right, skyrocketing, not just rising.
As for the reason...
There was no need to seek out intelligence agents to inquire about the situation in the Baldet campaign to know that those three fake nuclear warheads had definitely played their role.
Mobilizing heavy troops for an assault, spending fortunes on war, sustaining heavy casualties...
And what they found in the end turned out to be fake warheads.
Anyone would be pissed off by such an outcome, ready to explode on the spot, right?
So, Wu Jie had long anticipated that he would be hated to the bone by numerous high-ranking officers of the Star Federation, and he would definitely make a killing from it.
This started even before the outbreak of the Baldet campaign, right after Wu Jie and Abulaxi completed the gold for nuclear warhead trade, the people of the Star Federation already hated him once.
However...
Wu Jie did not expect that the force of this earnings wave would be so ferocious.
Previously, being hated by Perrio amounted to a substantial sum of five million energy points at one time.
At that time, Wu Jie speculated, if someone with bigger power, higher status, and greater fame hated him, how much would it be?
Ten million? Twenty million?
Now Wu Jie knew.
Damn it.
It was actually as high as two hundred million energy points!
The head of a world-dominating nation really lived up to the reputation.
And it wasn’t just him, there were many others hating him as well, each of them high-ranking and mighty individuals.
They were frantically hating him!
So much so that the balance of the energy points was simply impossible to watch.
In less than three hours, it had broken through the three hundred billion mark.
And it was still increasing at an average speed of over a million per second!
What the hell!
The system’s energy points can be cashed out on a one-to-one basis.
In other words, I’m now earning millions every second!
What’s with a monthly income of a hundred thousand or making hundreds of millions a year... all that’s just weak!
In just two or three hours, I’ve already earned over two hundred billion and it’s still rapidly increasing.
In the past, I thought energy points were precious, and I was reluctant to spend them.
I would rather spend more money, take more time and effort than to part with energy points.
And in order to earn energy points, I did everything I could, by hook or by crook.
Cracking down on corrupt officials, punishing dissipated bullies...
Even in order to generate more hatred, I developed an APP software for a great deity, introducing an AI intelligent beauty recognition feature.
This prevented those internet streamers who used beauty filters and photo editing to beautify themselves, as well as swindlers who tried to deceive people with ’photo scams,’ from relying on their looks to make a living, forcing them to either change careers or get plastic surgery.
Of course, countless young men and women hated me for it because they could no longer deceive themselves with beauty filters, who would dare to take selfies and post them on social networks?
Only too bad!
In the past, I worked to death to create something as miraculous as the Detox Pill, causing a stir for half a year with the title of King of Tricksters, yet only earning a few tens of billions of energy points!
And now?
Go ahead, hate all you want!
I’ve already completed the last prize-task of the system.
Afterwards, I won’t have to worry about not earning enough energy points within the time limit and being punished.
From now on, I can spend as much as I earn, all the merchandise permissions in the system store have been unlocked, just buy, buy, buy.
Of course.
Wu Jie is also well aware that being hated by the most powerful group of people in the Star Federation isn’t exactly a good thing.
Capitalists are always only interested in profit.
For the sake of profit, one can betray everything.
I’ve made things miserable for them; every single one of them is incredibly angry. How could this issue possibly be resolved easily?
This incident has hit them too hard; it might very well cost many of them their official positions, affecting their fundamental interests.
So...
There’s no need to guess; as soon as I return to the country, as soon as I show up, I’ll certainly be followed and watched.
I estimate that for a long time, I’ll be facing various assassination attempts.
Driving on the road... there’s bound to be someone wanting to crash into me!
Eating out... someone’s definitely going to poison me heavily!
Resting at home... there’s a hundred percent chance of an "accident"!
Anyway.
Avoid showing up in public places and don’t stay too long in known locations.
They will undoubtedly try every method possible to get rid of me.
And right now.
Just as I was thinking about this, the plane landed, and as soon as my phone got a signal, Zheng called.
"Disguise yourself before getting off the plane, then you and your wife follow me. I’ll take you to a safe place; Elder Tan wants to see you!"
With a couple of grunts, Wu Jie hung up the phone and glanced at Tang Xiao, who was beside himself with joy.
"Stop laughing, get ready, we’re going to meet Elder Tan soon!"
Tang Xiao was stunned: "Ah? Aren’t we going home to have dinner with dad?"
"I’m afraid we can get back, but won’t be able to get out!" Wu Jie replied with a cold laugh.
"Uh..."
Tang Xiao seemed not to understand what that meant.
Wu Jie raised his hand to point at Qian Le, "Go ask what happened in Baldet, and you’ll know why!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Tang Xiao didn’t get up, just smirked and laughed.
"Is there a need to ask? It must be because the battle in Baldet is over!"
"With the Star Federation being so dominant against the ragtag bunch, deploying so many advanced fighter jets and even utilizing aircraft carrier strike groups!"
"If they can’t even win this battle, can they still claim to be the strongest on Earth? It’s just..."
As Tang Xiao spoke, she couldn’t help but start laughing.
"You couldn’t be worried that they’ll discover the nuclear warheads are fake, and then take their anger out on us, could you?"
Wu Jie scoffed: "Nonsense! After spending a fortune, to be conned in the end, if it were you, would you stay calm? Not explode in rage and immediately order a hit, that would be strange!"
Tang Xiao smiled sheepishly.
"If it were me, I wouldn’t just order a hit! I’d capture the person and instead of crude methods like dismemberment or quartering, I’d go from mild to severe, from weak to cruel, trying all kinds of torture methods!"
"You cruel woman, plotting to murder your own husband!!"
"Haha, I’m just joking!"
After laughing it off, Tang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
"But truth be told, we couldn’t really sell Abulaxi real nuclear warheads, could we?"
"Speaking of which, it’s also the fault of the Star Federation for being too selfish and impulsive!"
"If they had sent troops to rescue us in a timely manner that night when we were surrounded, they could have gotten back the two warheads on the spot!"
"The one we’d bought earlier from Lemur, as long as they negotiated nicely with a good price, we could have sold it back to them!"
"Even knowing we did a deal with Abulaxi, they should have asked for details and understood the situation!"
"Without any warning, they just recklessly went to war, which obviously had other war goals, such as striking at YL Country’s expansion in Nabigu Continent."
...
Tang Xiao’s analysis makes sense.
But Wu Jie just listened without much thought.
What’s the use of analyzing when things have already come to this?
The current situation is...
The Star Federation has spilled blood for nothing, failing to secure a foothold in Baldet, and will inevitably have to retreat, giving YL Country the chance to pick up the pieces and potentially prop up an even more compliant proxy than Abulaxi.
In addition, the higher-ups in the Star Federation are bitterly hating Wu Jie. They wouldn’t dare to act openly, but they are certain to use underhanded means to ensure their own deaths, and Tang Xiao might be included as well.
I’m on the brink of death!
Wu Jie smiled wryly and suddenly felt like smoking.
During the flight, he had held back from smoking, and he was really craving one.
As soon as the large cargo plane stopped steadying on the tarmac, and Wu Jie stepped out of the cabin, he immediately lit up and began to smoke.
The winter sun was too damn weak, and the bitter cold wind that blew felt bone-chilling!
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao quickly got off the plane and went straight into Zheng’s car.
As for everyone else...
They were busy moving gold bricks, which were all rewards!
They wished they could all turn into superhumans, but could a single person carry away a ton?
The Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Troops, who had arrived early on the scene, were the first to isolate and protect the three nuclear bombs and took them away swiftly.
The convoy did not leave the airport.
Instead, after leaving the flying zone, it entered a training base.
The majestic sound of military bugles and the paratroopers training in various drills caught Tang Xiao’s gaze, filled with longing as she likely recalled her own military career.
Wu Jie and Zheng didn’t engage in idle chit-chat. Between men, thousands of words aren’t as good as a glance or a cigarette.
A tacit understanding is enough, why bother with unnecessary words?
Before long.
The convoy drove into a gray building, where Zheng led Wu Jie and his wife down into the depths via the elevator.
Elder Tan was observing a war game simulation. With the battle of Baldet over, it was natural to study and learn from the combat performance of the Star Federation.
In the rest room, Elder Tan got straight to the point and raised his questions.
"Two issues: the strange incident on the battlefield where electronic devices were massively destroyed, was that your doing, kid?"
"And with a kill order issued against you, what’s your plan for dealing with it?"
