“Ding!” The door of the elevator opened and the man dressed in leather got inside in a flash. He then pressed the button to get to the 111th floor.

The door closed and the elevator swiftly went up. He went through a total of 11 levels and he got there quick.

At this moment, the 111th floor in the building was somewhat chaotic.

“What happened? Why can’t we connect to the network? Try using the system to connect to the central bank and activate all the security measures,” the supervisor responded quickly.

One must know that at a place like the Horizon Building, there were at least a dozen ways to connect to the central bank so it wouldn’t just disconnect because of just a connectivity issue. If they were all interrupted at the same time, then that would be something that they would consider as a problem.

“Contact the Zi Luo City’s police. Get them to send some people over right away.”

“Supervisor, I can’t dial out with the Spirit Guidance communication device, I can’t connect directly either,” a staff member replied anxiously.

“Something is wrong, there must be an extremely strong inference signal if this happened. Quick, shut down the system, shut down the internal system!” The supervisor said in a hurry.

“Don’t shut it down! That would be bad. There would be at least over a billion Federal dollars that we would have to collect again next time. How troublesome! Why don’t you just take me away.” A nefarious-sounding voice echoed in the think tank centre.

“Bang!”

The door opened and the man dressed in leather with a helmet on his head walked in. The door that was supposed to have three layers of encryption didn’t do much after the network was cut off.

The more advanced a technology product was, the more reliant it would be on the technology itself. There wasn’t any physical defense system in place in the entire Horizon Building and everything was completely controlled by technology.

The supervisor exclaimed, “Who are you? How did you come in? This is impossible, even if there is interference from the outside, our internal system wouldn’t be affected. You…”

“Why is it impossible? I would be able to enter if someone told me your internal password, right? Alright, enough bullsh*t. All of you keep quiet.” As he spoke, the man dressed in leather pressed on the crystal on his helmet.

“Weng——”

An invisible wave burst forth and all the staff members present fainted and fell to the ground one after another.

“Look, the world is clean now!” The man in leather chuckled loudly but his actions didn’t stop at all. He walked towards the core part of the think tank centre without a shred of hesitation.

“Sometimes, when a mission is completed so easily, it isn’t a very pleasant thing. How boring!” As he spoke, he wandered leisurely to the control room of the think tank centre, his metal hand appeared once again and drilled into its walls.

“Buzz buzz, buzz buzz——” The electric current surged through and the control room began to show him all kinds of data.

The eyes of the man that were hidden behind the helmet became hazy, they reflected all of the data and he quickly worked on them.

“Found it! Hehe.” He chuckled and mumbled to himself. “64 layers of decryption, it’s a little complicated but I just need three minutes. Slowly, don’t be anxious. Ahhh, why is my brain so wonderful?”

Layers and layers of firewalls were removed, it was as if the coat of the think tank were being stripped off with its core slowly revealing itself before the man’s eyes.

“Oh, it’s the last layer.”

“Ding!” A green progress bar reached the end and completed the final decryption.

“I’m almost done here. The internal account has been opened and is ready for a data transfer. Then, we will block the encryption.” The man in leather spoke through the communication device.

However, what surprised him was that he had no answer coming from the other end.

“Hello? What are you guys doing?” The man felt that something wasn’t right as he instinctively turned to the screen.

The final door was finally opened but what appeared before his eyes was the main internal account of the Horizon Building. The Horizon Building would transmit data over to the central bank every week and today was a day before the weekend. According to what they estimated before, their weekly income should at least exceed one billion Federal dollars.

“But…”

When the man saw that account, his entire body froze.

“One billion?”

What he saw was…

“Zero! The number indicated for this account is zero!”

“This is bad, we got fooled!”

The man in leather made a decision immediately. He was an old hand, after all, and after he realized that something was off, he turned around and ran in an instant. He didn’t run towards the main door and he directly charged towards the glass curtain wall.

At the same time, a silver mecha bore out under his skin and swiftly covered his entire body.

His speed increased drastically like a flash of light as he knocked against the glass curtain wall at a high speed.

“What’s the rush?” A familiar voice resounded.

“Bang——”

The man in leather felt his body knocking against a metal board and the tremendous anti-shock force directly bounced his body right back off of the wall. It was as if all the bones in his body broke into pieces, even the mecha that he was wearing let out a high screech.

A figure was standing right at his only escape route.

At this moment, the man in leather already knew why the person sounded so familiar because the one blocking his way wasn’t a stranger, it was that supervisor who was giving orders anxiously just now.

And right now, his build was much taller and bigger. Pieces of thick and heavy mecha covered his whole body. The metal gray armor emitted a dull luster, making him look like a mountain with two purple and six black Spirit Rings rising beneath his feet.

“Rank 8 Spirit Douluo, Three-word Battle Armor Master!” The man in leather blurted out.

“You’re known as the great master of mind control; an expert in committing crimes. Two-word Battle Armor Master, one of the twelve envoys of the City of Sin, Zhan Jing. I didn’t get it wrong, did I?” Ye Feng said plainly.

The staff members that were on the ground got up one after another. The standard Federal small-sized mechas soon attached itself to their bodies and after that, over ten Soul Guidance laser guns were aimed at the master of crimes, Zhan Jing.

Zhan Jing struggled as he got up from the ground. Although defense wasn’t the priority of his Two-word mecha, it still helped him block most of the damage from his attack.

“Who are you guys exactly? How did you know that our target was the Horizon Building?” Zhan Jing asked coldly.

Ye Feng replied indifferently. “We’ve had our eyes on you guys for a very long time already. You guys have carried out terrorist attacks and high-tech crimes so many times to the point that you’ve caused the Federation and its citizens so much loss. You’re the first but definitely not the last. I will destroy the whole City of Sin. Just allow yourself to be arrested without resisting, otherwise, it is also within my authority to shoot you on the spot. I advise against you using that power from the helmet again. There is a mental interference device that is set up here so that won’t work anymore.”

“You’ve won.” Zhan Jing spread out both his hands and removed his helmet.

But when Ye Feng saw his nonchalant manner, he somehow had a bad feeling. He was simply too calm; he didn’t look like a captive at all.

“Team One, has the vehicle been controlled?” Ye Feng immediately contacted his subordinates.

“It is already under control, the remote interference has been removed. We should be able to connect to the central bank very soon,” an assistant replied.

Ye Feng then heaved a sigh of relief. They had prepared for this operation for a very long time.

“Take him down.” Ye Feng waved his hand.

Immediately, soldiers from the Valiant Dragon Special Forces charged forward and grabbed ahold of Zhan Jing.

They took the Soul Guidance communication device from his hands along with his Soul Guidance storage device. They then issued him a handcuff that blocked his Spirit Power, turning him into an ordinary person immediately.

“Inspect the building and inform the police. Let’s prepare to retreat.” Ye Feng ordered sternly.
