490: Chapter 371 Jannan Vasikar 490: Chapter 371 Jannan Vasikar âJannan Vasikar, is this guy really that impressiveâŠâ
Hu Peng muttered softly, obviously stunned by the two identities mentioned earlier.
Bounty Hunters aside, he wasnât too familiar with that, but the Chief Security Consultant of Black Fox Security Company, that was somewhat surprising.
Black Fox Security Company could be said to be the largest security firm in the world, and even the most ordinary bodyguard among its members would be equivalent to an Elite Soldier in the army.
Besides accepting private hirings, Black Fox Security Company also often receives orders from official forces of many countries, boasting an incredibly vast scale of operations.
In such a company, this man named Jannan Vasikar could serve as the Chief Security Consultant, wouldnât the significance of this role be shocking?
âIndeed worthy of being a person valued by Lord Star Lord.
I heard that this person used to be part of the Trackers faction, could he also be a Transcendent?â
Hu Peng and Xun You started to discuss Jannan in hushed tones, while also marveling at how easily Zhang Xiaoman was able to provide his address.
As they were talking, they finally completed the last stretch of the journey to the Oasis, and the air around them seemed to cool all at once, lifting everyoneâs spirits.
The Oasis was larger than imagined, and even more beautiful, with a clear lake visible in the distance.
Surrounding it were verdant bushes and groves, with olive, cypress, and mastic trees forming the mainstay of the Oasis, holding back the encroachment of sand and wind.
While walking, Weiss suddenly raised his arm, signaling for everyone to stop.
âWhatâs the matter?â Xun You asked doubtfully.
âDamn, we forgot something very important.
If Jannan has been missing for so long, that means heâs definitely hiding from something, or doesnât want to be found.
With his abilities, he would surely have set up some traps around here!
If we just barge in like this, we might walk right into an ambush!â
As Weiss spoke, a trace of cold sweat involuntarily ran down his face.
âI guarantee that this place isnât as idyllic as it seems on the surface.
Maybe weâre already standing in a minefield.â
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled by his words.
Hu Peng and Xun You felt a tingling on their scalps, as if there was a landmine right under their feet, just waiting for them to step off and explode into pieces.
âAnna, itâs up to you now.â
Weiss turned to the only female member of the team and said.
Anna took out something resembling a smartphone from her backpack, manipulated it for a moment, then moved to the front of the team and began to lead the way with great caution.
âEveryone stick close to her, and donât wander off.â
Weiss addressed everyone, but his main intent was to remind Hu Peng and Xun You.
Anna was the teamâs Bomber, particularly adept at the arrangement of mines, and with her leading the way, everyone felt much more at ease.
Time ticked away, and the Oasis, which had seemed so close only moments before, took the group over ten more minutes to reach.
âBe careful, itâs not necessarily safe now.
There may be more hidden dangers here, we should proceed with caution.â
Weiss spoke and then let Ciro, as the sniper, take another careful look around.
His observational skills were the sharpest, if there were any traps hidden here, he would definitely spot them at the first opportunity.
âAlright, the crisis is temporarily resolved, letâs move on.â
Weissâs face showed a hint of confusion but he didnât say anything, instead continuing to lead the group deeper into the woods.
After walking in this beautiful little forest for about 5 minutes, they suddenly saw an open area ahead of them with a small house situated there, the land around it cultivated with many vegetables.
At that moment, near a small lake not far from the house, sat a person dressed in yellow, leisurely fishing.
The man was a white male, looking to be in his sixties, a bit older than Su Fu, yet his physique was very muscular, indicating that he likely maintained a habit of exercising regularly.
The man had somewhat graying hair and a scar on his face, but his disposition complemented these features instead of detracting from them, giving him a rugged, weathered appeal.
As Hu Peng and the others drew closer, the man slightly lifted his head to glance at them, then let out a sigh and said,
âAh, I never expected that even hiding out here, I could still be found by you guys.
Seems like itâs really my fate.â
His tone carried a hint of dejection, his words exuding a sense of helplessness.
Suddenly, his right hand swiftly moved to his waist, and a Desert Eagle pistol, glinting with a silver shine, appeared in his palm, its dark muzzle aimed straight at the six people.
The members of the Wildfire Team also reacted instantly; four automatic rifles all pointed at the man, and the atmosphere tensed up immediately.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Even though the Wildfire Team had the advantage in firepower, they didnât dare to be careless.
In the corner of Hu Pengâs eye, he even saw beads of sweat sliding down Ciroâs forehead.
There was no helping it, for a personâs reputation casts a long shadow.
The âdog friendâ duo were amateurs, ignorant of Jannanâs fame.
But as fellow Bounty Hunters, the members of the Wildfire Team were very well aware of his terrifying reputation.
Even with the current situation, they couldnât be sure what kind of ace he might have up his sleeve.
If this fight really kicked off, whether they could win and what price they would have to pay were uncertain.
At this moment, Weiss felt some regret, thinking he shouldnât have taken on such a dangerous task for the sake of the fifty thousand dollars.
The standoff between the two sides lasted only about ten seconds, but it felt like several minutes had passed.
Suddenly, the man lowered his gun, casually tossing it to the ground, and with a smile said,
âYour reactions arenât bad, but the psychological quality and observational ability still need improvement.
My gunâs safety wasnât even off, look how jittery you all are.â
Initially, everyone was somewhat baffled by his action of tossing the gun, and it wasnât until they heard his words that they subconsciously looked at the Desert Eagle on the ground and realized that indeed, the safety had not been turned off.
