Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality

Chapter 1482: Chapter 745: Five Years Later

"I fully understand that this mission is arduous and filled with danger, but I believe that with everyone’s capabilities, we will definitely make those villains pay."

"Let them know the consequences of oppressing the people, we will show no mercy."

James looked at Lin Beichen with a face full of joy and said, "We indeed chose the right person, I believe that with Brother Lin’s wisdom and strength, those villains will suffer greatly."

Everyone looked towards Lin Beichen, their trust in one another growing even deeper.

With Lin Beichen as the backbone, everyone acted according to his arrangements.

Sun Yifei, relying on his exceptional Lightweight Skill, quietly infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion to secretly gather intelligence.

Sun Yuanqiao also followed Lin Beichen’s orders, researching new types of concealed weapons and tools.

As for James, he was currently discussing further details with Lin Beichen, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.

Not until near dusk did Sun Yifei return from outside with a grave expression on his face.

"How is the situation?"

Lin Beichen hurried two steps forward, asking with concern.

Sun Yifei, exhausted, placed a contract on the table.

"It seems your assumptions were correct, the townsfolk are indeed in great suffering now, some are even extremely hungry, and all wish to leave, but are ruthlessly suppressed by the City Lord’s Mansion."

"This contract is the secret agreement signed between the City Lord and those Western people. It wasn’t until now that I realized, he is oppressing the people to fulfill his dream of immortality!"

Upon saying this, Sun Yifei was gnashing his teeth with anger, unable to conceal the fury in his eyes.

Lin Beichen frowned deeply, picked up the contract and quickly scanned it, a plan immediately emerging in his mind.

"Do you know, the people are like water, and the ruler like a boat; water can carry the boat, but also capsize it! The City Lord, by oppressing the people, will eventually reap what he has sown."

Beside him, James seemed to catch the implications of Lin Beichen’s words, and quickly stepped forward, "Brother Lin, do you already have a plan?"

"Tonight, let’s watch a good show!"

With that said, Lin Beichen turned his gaze to Sun Yifei.

"There is still one thing I need you to do, quickly inform the townsfolk to gather at several city gates tonight and not leave easily, a major event will happen tonight."

Though they didn’t understand Lin Beichen’s intentions, out of mutual trust, Sun Yifei nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

By dusk, the City Lord’s Mansion was brightly illuminated.

At this moment, in the courtyard, the City Lord was glaring at James and the others before him, his eyes almost aflame with anger.

"What did you say? You’re leaving at this moment?"

"Exactly, City Lord, this city has no value or development potential, and you have not fulfilled the prior agreement. Therefore, we need to find a more promising city to collaborate with."

James stood straight, glancing disdainfully at the City Lord, with an air of defiance.

"City Lord, according to the agreement, we cannot provide the elixir of immortality, and as compensation, we also need to take away this gold."

The City Lord, upon hearing this, suddenly let out a cold laugh, his eyes even more sinister: "Do you think you can take my gold without handing over the elixir?"

James, hearing this, showed a slight change in expression, evidently realizing the situation was complex.

"What do you intend to do?"

"Today, either hand over the elixir of immortality, or none of you leave alive! If you wish to exit this city, let’s see if you have that ability!"

The City Lord shouted angrily, and a large number of guards poured in from outside, surrounding everyone.

However, James just smiled calmly: "We anticipated you’d do this, just didn’t expect it so soon."

He clapped his hands lightly, and his companions pushed a person forward, this person was badly beaten, and with a fierce kick from someone behind, fell to the ground miserably, making muffled sounds.

"According to the ancient language of Dragon Country, a tiger, though cruel, will not eat its cubs. Exchanging your son for our departure should be without issue, right?"

James said this and laughed heartily, his companions beside him also showing an expression of triumph.

This scene was clearly seen by Sun Yifei from the shadows, and she wanted to see how the City Lord would decide.

However, the City Lord looked at his son and suddenly sneered: "A son can be replaced, but losing this gold would be a lifelong regret! After all, this is the wealth amassed from all the townsfolk!"

James did not expect the City Lord to be so ruthless, and was momentarily stupefied.

But the next moment, the City Lord waved his hand and said: "Kill them! Leave none alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who had been ready rushed forward, creating instant chaos.

"If even your own father doesn’t want you, then you have no value left, time to die!"

James, furious, showed no hesitation, and with a swing of his blade, Sima Li died on the spot.

The city was in chaos, and at this moment, not a single soldier was seen at the city gate.

The chaos in the City Lord’s Mansion gathered almost all forces there, granting Lin Beichen and his group much time.

A nimble figure flashed by, and in the next moment, Sun Yifei appeared in front of Lin Beichen.

"Brother Lin, you’re right, it’s already started inside!"

Lin Beichen opened his previously closed eyes slowly: "The greed of human nature is always like this, always wanting what they can’t have, yet unwilling to give up what they already own, nothing is more so."

"So what do we do next?"

Beside him, James frowned, clearly accustomed to following Lin Beichen’s commands by now.

Lin Beichen’s mouth curved slightly upward as he stood up. In front of him, stood a group of townsfolk with empty stomachs, each with sallow faces and worn-out appearances.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen felt a sting in his heart, but even more, helplessness.

"People, now is the time for us to reclaim what’s rightfully ours. The City Lord, in his quest for immortality, has been oppressing us relentlessly, and we should also take back what we originally lost in the same way! We should not let it benefit him, nor those Western Region people!"
