Chapter 645: Do You Think I'm Easy to Bully?
Ling Fan, accompanying Yao Yue, left the desolate wasteland for a nearby hill.
"Take good care of yourself, absorb the elixir you just took. I'm going to make a call!" Ling Fan instructed, then took out his phone.
He dialed a number, and after a moment, the call connected with a decadent voice responding.
"Hello? Who is it?" The voice on the other end was somewhat hoarse.
"Lawson, from the sound of it, you seem to be in bad shape. What's been happening lately?" Ling Fan asked calmly.
At this point, Lawson, drunkenly lying next to a prison, suddenly sobered up a bit.
"You are..." Lawson gripped the phone, his heart pounding furiously.
The voice sounded familiar, but he dared not confirm it.
"You've forgotten an old friend so soon, Beiming!" Ling Fan said calmly.
"Beiming?" Lawson, still holding the phone, was shocked and confused.
"You... you weren't blown up by those bastards from Snow Country?"
"Ha, they wish they could blow me up? Seems like everyone knows about the incident in Snow Country!" Ling Fan laughed.
Regaining his composure, Lawson couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha, I just knew you wouldn't go down that easily, damn, that's great!
I just heard the good news that you survived a near-death situation two years ago, hadn't celebrated a few nights before hearing your bad news again, old pal, my heart isn't in the best condition to withstand such swings of joy and sorrow!"
"Ha, we're just the type who lick blood off the knife's edge, aren't we? Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill me. Oh, by the way, I need a favor!" Ling Fan started.
"Go ahead, Beiming, whatever it is, if I can do it!" Lawson said happily.
"I need you to arrange a batch of weaponry for me, just enough to blow Snow Country sky high, name your price, I'll cover it!" Ling Fan replied.
Lawson, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned, his face showing surprise, "Tell me, where are you now? I heard recently that the bombing culprit, Kuno Yukki, was assassinated. Haven't you left Snow Country yet?"
Ling Fan frowned, Kuno Yukki was assassinated?
He immediately turned to look at Yao Yue, who was meditating nearby. Besides Yao Yue, he couldn't think of anyone else capable of assassinating a member of the Kuno Clan in this location; she hadn't even mentioned it to him!
"Lawson, we, the Two Kings and One Emperor, have our dignity. The bombing two years ago, I still haven't let go of the hatred!
To come at me today, do they think I, Ling Beiming, am made of mud?
If I don't get revenge, how can I face the world? I won't leave until I turn everything upside down!" Ling Fan's eyes glittered with a cold light as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Lawson took this more seriously, his eyes filled with boundless excitement.
"Beiming, the glory of the Two Kings relies on you, the War Emperor, to uphold it. You've worked hard. I'll arrange the weapons.
It's on the house, just make sure you do it spectacularly, as a fitting end to my own curtain call!" Lawson said excitedly.
Ling Fan frowned, "Lawson, what are you up to, retiring?"
Ling Fan was quite surprised by Lawson's words, unable to understand why he would do such a thing, as his status would be worthless if he retired.
And a "King of War" with no value, how could the Ais Duchy keep him around?
"Ha, I'm old, and this world no longer belongs to me. It doesn't make sense to keep struggling. Can't be fighting and killing forever, can we? Everyone has their time eventually!
By the way, I have some good news for you, I have a child now, I have a successor, even if my time comes, I will have no regrets!" Lawson spoke with a touch of melancholy and some relief.
Ling Fan took a deep breath and said no more, knowing he had his own plans, and his own words would be of no use.
"Is your child safe? Do you need my help?" Ling Fan asked.
Ling Fan hesitated, then questioned Lawson, willing to help his old friend.
"Beiming, thank you, I'll contact you if needed!" Lawson gratefully responded.
"By the way, I've analyzed it, Snow Country has eighteen military bases. Just eighteen Grade C Super Weapons should suffice.
However, while I can get them there, how can you receive them? Plus, you'll need enough manpower to launch them, all of these are issues!
Moreover, launching Super Weapons in Snow Country will surely face guided interception, the success rate isn't high!"
Hearing Lawson's analysis, Ling Fan just laughed.
"Lawson, this is Snow Country's homeland; their guidance system targets intercontinental ballistic missiles. Interception on their own soil should be unlikely.
Besides, they'd never dream that someone would dare strike them with Super Weapons on their own turf.
As for the launch issue, I have my ways. Just have the devices modified to be timer-set, the longest delay being three hours," Ling Fan stated calmly.
Lawson nodded, "OK, no problem, might take some time, consider it done on the receiving end!"
"No problem, as long as you can get them here!" Ling Fan responded.
"Hmm, land and air transport in Snow Country are unlikely, I'll arrange a nuclear submarine," Lawson pondered, then said.
"Hmm, appreciate it. Is there any chance you can also arrange an Grade A Super Weapon for me?" Ling Fan hesitated, then asked again.
Lawson took a deep breath, didn't question what Ling Fan intended to use it for, and nodded immediately, "Can do!"
"Thanks, once you've got it sorted, contact me!" Ling Fan nodded.
The two exchanged a few more words on the phone then hung up.
Ling Fan put away his phone and took a deep breath, recognizing the power of connections; they could offer boundless support in critical moments!
Looking up at the clear blue sky of Snow Country, he muttered to himself, "If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. But if you don't teach them a bloody lesson, do they really think I, Ling Beiming, am that easy to mess with?"
