Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Caught in the Crossfire?

Even though it had been half a year since they last met, Ling Feng felt no sense of estrangement from his brothers. Along the way, White Bear chattered away to Ling Feng, Pu Li still maintained his poker face, and Aiven drove the car.

"Actually, everyone wanted to pick up Big Brother, but recently, it hasn’t been peaceful around here, so no one else came. They are all on alert at the base," Aiven said.

Ling Feng asked, "Recently it hasn’t been peaceful? What’s going on?"

Aiven shrugged and said, "Most of the original followers in the surrounding cities were believers of the Papal Court of Light, but for some reason, the doctrine of the Freedom Organization reached here, and many people have been brainwashed by it. So now, there’s constant friction between believers of the Freedom Organization and those who originally worshipped the Bright Church, and quite a few conflicts and bloody incidents have occurred!"

"The Freedom Organization has spread here?" Ling Feng was somewhat surprised. When he left the base, the Freedom Organization had not expanded so rapidly!

Aiven said, "Big Brother, during the half year you’ve been away, the Freedom Organization in the Middle East has grown rapidly. Many people and indeed many countries around here have been brainwashed by the Freedom Organization. A lot of them wave the flag of freedom and recklessly attack government forces. It can be said the whole Middle East has been in a state of tense warfare over these six months."

Stroking his chin, Ling Feng said, "That’s a bit illogical. How could the Papal Court of Light just ignore this? Although the Middle East is quite chaotic, it is an important source of faith for the Papal Court of Light."

At that moment, Catherine said, "It’s not that the Papal Court of Light isn’t paying attention, but it seems that there is a powerful force supporting the Freedom Organization from within. And the Papal Court of Light has mostly been focusing its energy on searching for the Sacred Relic, so..."

It made sense, Ling Feng nodded slightly. However, Ling Feng knew that the Papal Court of Light had already acquired the Sacred Relic and they would definitely start dealing with the Middle East situation now. It looked like it won’t be long before the Middle East heats up again!

As Ling Feng was pondering, suddenly Aiven’s jeep made a sharp turn, rushing into the neighboring desert. At the same time, there came a loud explosion from the road.

"Someone set up an ambush in advance!" A shock went through everyone’s minds.

The jeep dove into the desert, and its speed dropped dramatically. At that moment, dozens of Arabs armed with guns leaped out from the cover of the surrounding rocky walls, wildly spraying bullets at Ling Feng’s jeep.

"Damn, what’s going on!" The five people in the vehicle were not the ones to mess with. As soon as they realized they were ambushed, they immediately got out of the vehicle and moved to a safer area nearby.

An angry look appeared on Catherine’s face, "Who are these people? Why are they attacking us?"

Anger also showed on Aiven and the others’ faces, "We’re not sure either, but judging by their attire, they should be government forces!"

"Why would government forces attack us?" Ling Feng frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

Pu Li coldly said, "Hmph, mere cannon fodder, kill them all!"

The amiable smile had disappeared from White Bear’s face, "Big Brother, let’s slaughter these fools. They dare to strike against Big Brother and Big Sister, they’re really courting death!"

Ling Feng scanned the surroundings, no more than thirty-odd people. He nodded, "Be careful, don’t kill them all; keep a few alive. I want to ask what exactly is going on!"

Aiven said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Big Brother, we’ll be right back!"

With that, Aiven, Pu Li, and White Bear swiftly rushed off in three different directions.

"They’re over there!" Shouts came from the opposite side, and soon the gun muzzles followed the figures, shooting at them.

"How many minutes do you think they’ll take to handle their opponents?" Ling Feng said to Catherine, holding her and smiling.

Catherine blinked, "Aren’t you worried they might get hurt?"

Because Catherine had always been a scientific researcher, her abilities were only slightly better than an ordinary person’s.

Ling Feng chuckled lightly, "Facing such a few people, if they get hurt, it would only mean that they’ve slacked off too much in the past six months! Besides, I believe it won’t take more than five minutes to finish them off!"

Indeed, shortly after Ling Feng’s words fell, a series of screams came from outside. True to his prediction, it hadn’t been five minutes before two trembling men were thrown before Ling Feng.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Ling Feng asked in Arabic.

One of the men replied in a trembling voice, "You bunch of devils, we will not submit to you."

Ling Feng frowned and said, "I’ll give you one minute to think, I will only keep one person who knows how to cooperate. Do you understand?"

The other man hurriedly crawled forward, "I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything, just don’t kill me, I can tell you everything I know!"

"Bastard, you traitor!" the first man to speak shouted angrily.

"Shut up!" Aiven stamped his foot on the man’s head and said to the other, "Start talking honestly, otherwise, this will be your fate!"

The man nodded hastily, obviously scared.

"So now, can you tell me why you’re attacking us?" Ling Feng asked coolly.

Swallowing hard, the man said, "We received intel that an important figure from the Freedom Organization would be passing through here, so we set up an ambush in advance, but we didn’t expect... "

Ling Feng and his comrades exchanged glances. Could it be they had been caught in the crossfire by mistake?

"Where did you get this intel from? Even if you were attacking a member of the Freedom Organization, why attack us? We are not from the Freedom Organization!"

"Ah? How could that be!" the man exclaimed excitedly, "Our informant could never deceive us."

At that moment, the other man roared, "You filthy Freedom Organization, we won’t let you get away with this!"

With a bang, Aiven executed the shouting man with a gunshot, "All that useless talk is just asking for death!"

Ling Feng patted the remaining man’s face and said, "Don’t worry, we keep our word, we definitely won’t kill you. White Bear, break his limbs and let’s get going!"

"No, please no!" Amidst the man’s tearful cries, White Bear crushed both of his legs with a few stomps, it seemed this man would have to live the rest of his life with prosthetics.

After Ling Feng and the others had vanished, a figure appeared beside the weeping, howling man.

"Sir, save me, sir, please save me!" The man with the broken legs obviously recognized the newly arrived man.

With a pitiful gaze, the newcomer looked at the man with the broken legs and said, "Your piety and suffering will be conveyed to Heaven. I will now deliver you, and release you from your pain."

"Thank you, sir..."

Before he could finish, the mysterious man shot the man with the broken legs in the forehead. With an incredulous look, he stared at the mysterious man, never believing, until his last breath, that the respected sir would actually kill him!

"Divine Gate? Looks like a fine force indeed!" The mysterious man touched his nose. "It would be such a waste not to use it!"
