The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 851: Divine Artifact?

"Since you're not here for the sacred object, I think there might have been some misunderstanding between us."

"Given your skills, you should be accorded the respect you deserve. Our officer would be very willing to get acquainted with you."

The man visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the eyes of one prepared for death quickly shifted.

However, perhaps because he had lost too much blood, his dark face showed some pallor, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"Is that so? I would really like to meet your officer. But not now."

"I don't like putting my life and death in others' hands; for now, you should have your men head to the basement!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if I accidentally slit your artery in excitement."

Yang Yan said coldly.

"All of you, retreat to the basement."

Feeling Yang Yan's dagger starting to cut into his neck, he hurriedly said.

Watching everyone enter the basement, Yang Yan turned and glanced at Elan.

He knew very well, if he just left now, the fate of this guy would be tragic.

However, many things are just fate.

Even though he had saved his daughter once, he couldn't save her for a lifetime.

"If something happens, come to me. If I find out you did anything to that girl, no matter where you are, I promise I will kill you."

Yang Yan said in a low voice.

Leaving the church, Yang Yan went straight into the rainforest.

Looking at the surrounding trees, Yang Yan squinted lightly, taking a deep breath of the somewhat hot air.

"Haha! What a familiar feeling, it's just like being back at the Southern Border, I really miss it!"

Whether it's because Yang Yan claimed he's not here for their sacred object, or they feared Yang Yan's power,

In the following days, they didn't send anyone to look for Yang Yan.

Of course, Yang Yan wasn't reckless either.

He continued hiding in the rainforest.

Because only here, he could be absolutely sure he could deal with anyone daring to cause trouble.

"Do you think those guys' sacred object is really that miraculous? It makes the surrounding air distort!"

"Could it be they intentionally used it to fool people?"

As Yang Yan lay resting on a tree, below him, a few mercenaries chatted quietly.

"No idea. But since people outside hired us to get that thing, it must be worth a lot."

Another man tossed his cigarette to the ground, stomped it out fiercely, then shook his head and said.

"I don't care if it's valuable; as long as we deliver it to those people, they'll pay enough for me to spend a lifetime."

"Don't think about that thing, those who can pay so much to hire us are people we can't afford to provoke."

Just as they planned to take a break, Yang Yan suddenly jumped into the midst of them, smiling as he asked:

"Can you tell me some specific details about that sacred object? I'm very interested!"

Seeing the suddenly appearing Yang Yan, the group instantly stood up.

Then, they swiftly cocked their guns, aiming the dark barrels at this unfamiliar Easterner before them.

"Who are you?"

The leader stared at Yang Yan intently, asking with vigilance.

"You don't need to know who I am; I'm not interested in you anyway."

"Can you tell me about the sacred object you were just discussing?"

Yang Yan asked with a smile.

Seeing Yang Yan's fearless expression, the group suddenly didn't know what to do.

Although in such situations, one should strike first according to logic.

Yet, instincts honed through years of battlefield experience told them:

This man before them is very dangerous.

Even with their many guns, they might not be able to kill him.

If that's the case, it's unnecessary to take risks.

"It's said a while ago, a gem suddenly appeared here that can satisfy one's wishes."

"And the government back then used some means to get hold of that gem."

"Moreover, they leveraged the power of that stone to wipe out the largest anti-government force here."

The leader hesitated for a bit, then slowly said.

"A gem that fulfills wishes?"

Yang Yan murmured, furrowing his brow.

Normally, without special means, the Origin wouldn't have any effect.

If that gem truly can grant ordinary people extraordinary powers, it certainly wouldn't be the Origin.

However, Yang Yan instantly grew interested in a gem with such magical powers even in the Land of Lawlessness.

"Where is that thing?"

Yang Yan asked the group.

"In the hands of the government forces. They're planning to march against another border anti-government force these days, so they've brought that stone along."

The leader promptly replied.

"Thanks."

Upon hearing the man's words, Yang Yan walked into the depths of the dense forest without turning back, rapidly disappearing from sight.

"Boss, who was that man? His gaze was terrifying when he looked at me! At that moment... I felt like I was about to die."

The leader stared intensely in the direction Yang Yan vanished for a few seconds, before turning and sternly saying:

"Forget everything about meeting that guy today. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be one of those from outside with Great Powers."

His subordinate slightly furrowed his brow, suspiciously asking:

"But boss, isn't it said in this country that superpower users can't enter?"

"Who said they can't enter?"

The leader raised an eyebrow, coldly saying:

"They just can't use their powers once inside, but hasn't there been a shortage of monsters here over the years?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"No one knows what secrets lie in this small part of Southern Africa, but many notable figures have died here over the years."

...

After leaving those men, Yang Yan continued analyzing the current actions of the government forces.

However, given the present situation, he had no chance at all of getting that so-called sacred object!

"Too secure, huh? What's that, a tank?"

Yang Yan stood at a distance observing the army's encampment, muttering as he frowned.

"One, two, three... Damn, there are over twenty tanks! And... is that an anti-aircraft gun or something?"

Yang Yan widened his eyes in surprise, murmuring to himself.

It's clear that these guys have protected the sacred object with military precision.

Under these circumstances, unless Yang Yan can return to his usual state, he has absolutely no chance.
