Chapter 72: A Maniac
The lavishly decorated Marriott Hotel was now a ruin.
Broken glass shards covered the floor, the smoke from Rocket-propelled grenade explosions permeated the air, and lingering embers still scorched the carpets and furniture.
Mo Fei, holding the naked Emily, crawled out of the ruins, covered in stains.
"Damn it! Who holds such a grudge against me, such hatred, to blast me with an RPG?!"
He was kind and benevolent, gentle and humble, living a life of peace. Who could be so vicious as to lay such a poisonous hand on someone as pure as a white rabbit?
He thought about it and realized it could only be those lunatics from the Assassin Alliance!
"I wonder how Mindy is doing now!"
Because Mindy had trained Mo Fei for quite some time, Mo Fei's defense against danger and his judgment in reconnaissance were already very proficient.
He hugged Emily and hid in the bathroom. He pretended to borrow two sets of clothes from outside, but in reality, he took them from his spatial ring and put them on himself and Emily.
"Braga…it must be Braga…" Emily clutched the clothes Mo Fei was helping her put on. Facing the sudden RPG attack, her lips trembled with terror.
"What did you say?"
"It's Braga! He found out I cheated, so he sent people to blow us both up!" Emily grabbed Mo Fei's arm, pressing it tightly against her face, and whispered, "You don't know, no one in this World understands Braga better than I do! From a young age, he displayed unparalleled traits, full of crazy ideas, achieving ambitions by any means necessary, a perverted desire for control…"
"He and I were born in the same village. It was originally quiet and peaceful. He became the leader of the children because he was brave, daring, and quick-witted.
I know about his first crime—he was only 13 at the time. That year, a young couple from out of town came to our hometown for a trip. They were extremely unhappy because the other party occupied a beach they often used, and then they tried to steal the other party's belongings. When they were discovered, a conflict arose. The other party only said a few words to him, not even hitting him, let alone cursing him.
Even so, Braga's twisted desire for revenge made him unable to bear it. That afternoon, they teamed up to puncture the couple's tires and stuff sand into their car, stranding the couple.
I thought his revenge was just that, but I never expected that Braga wanted far more than that…That night, they jointly kidnapped the man, collectively stabbed him with more than twenty non-fatal wounds, and then, in front of the man…made the woman…while watching her boyfriend bleed to death…From a young age, his heart was vicious beyond imagination!
I still get scared thinking about that scene…"
Emily's tears flowed continuously: "Mo Fei, we're dead! We're really dead!"
"Emily, don't be silly!" Mo Fei helplessly pulled Emily into his arms, wiping away her tears: "Believe me, with me here, he can't kill you!"
"No! No one can save us! But to die with Mo Fei, I won't be alone in hell." Emily showed a tragic and beautiful smile.
Mo Fei: "…"
Is this woman poisonous? Who the hell wants to go to hell?
I, Mo Fei, studied hard and strived for progress since childhood, often praised by teachers, and even received several little red flowers in kindergarten!
Even if I die, I definitely want to go to heaven!
I, Mo Fei, am going to heaven!
Uh…it seems there's something not quite right there…"Emily, are you stupid? Have you forgotten how we survived the Rocket-propelled grenade?"
Emily was stunned, then thought: "Mo Fei, are you a Mutant?"
"Not a Mutant, but I do have some skills!" Mo Fei smiled lightly: "You said Braga has been vicious and ruthless since childhood, but in my eyes, he's just a grown-up brat! If a brat doesn't listen, just give him a good beating! You're not thinking about the consequences as seriously as they are!"
The current Mo Fei was no longer the Mo Fei who was at a loss when facing an attack with Dylan; he was already capable of handling dangerous attacks independently.
After confirming the attackers had left, Mo Fei cleared the traces of himself and Emily in the room and led Emily downstairs in the Marriott Hotel.
During this time, both wore hats that fully covered their faces and deliberately avoided cameras.
Throughout the process, he maintained contact with Mindy, having her use hacking techniques to erase Emily's check-in records and any captured footage.
Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief as he led Emily into bumblebee.
No matter how formidable the incoming people were, with bumblebee there, he would be protected.
And he himself was no longer a weakling; with his near-level 4 Xing Yi Quan, level 3 firearms, Bullet Time, and the assassin skills he had learned from Mindy for so long, plus a pile of heavy firepower stored in his spatial ring, he could, without exaggeration, fight a hundred people by himself as long as there was room to maneuver!
Shortly after starting the car, Mo Fei received a call from Mia, which left him utterly confused.
Even if I'm messing around, you're not my girlfriend, so what business is it of yours? And you're breaking up with me!
Maniac!
Ignoring Mia's words, Mo Fei drove bumblebee out of the city to meet Mindy at their agreed location in the suburbs.

After Mia hung up the phone, the FBI listening room also heard a busy signal.
"Is he admitting that he is Braga?" Hulk… Pfft! It was Agent Supervisor Rhode, head of the FBI New York office, stroking his Big Beard as he spoke.
Rhodes was in charge of Braga's criminal gang, and Xiao Jinmao Brian worked under Hulk… Pfft! Under Supervisor Rhode.
"Not necessarily, there are many ambiguities in Mia's words, Mo Fei might not be admitting that he is Braga." Brian said calmly.
"And because Ms. Mia Trento's words were full of suggestive and uncertain terms, this recording material cannot even be used as auxiliary evidence." An FBI clerical worker said helplessly.
"Mia is a top student at Columbia University, very smart!" Brian smiled with a hint of pride.
"I hope our stirring the grass to startle the snake will be effective. The Director only gave me 72 hours! If we still have no progress on the Braga case within three days, I'll be fired!" Rhodes glanced at Brian: "But before I'm laid off, I'll definitely fire you first!"
The reason Brian approached Mia was, of course, not because he genuinely wanted to get any information from Mia, but because the FBI was pressed for time, so they used the tactic of stirring the grass to startle the snake to break the stalemate!
Brian: "???"
There are so many people here, why are you only looking at me?
"Lads and lasses, for the sake of your livelihoods, get moving!" Rhodes clapped his hands: "I want you to monitor this kid 24/7 without interruption! I want to know what he's doing every moment! Including the time he spends in the bathroom, and the color of the underwear he's wearing at the time!"
