The sudden intervention of the Sacrifice Squad brought the live broadcast to a halt, and the boss behind the scenes, seeing these individuals, decisively stopped the broadcast.
There was no other choice; as long as these people were present, the broadcast couldn't continue. With the capabilities of those reserve members, let alone reserve members, even official members would face certain death against the Sacrifice Squad.
They could only lament that Zhang Jie had incredibly good luck, having a good master. Although John had said he wouldn't interfere, he hadn't said he wouldn't let others interfere.
As for the reason, those who know, know. They didn't believe that with Zhang Jie's current connections and abilities, he could be involved with the Sacrifice Squad.
And it was even more impossible for the Sacrifice Squad to be interested in this person just because they watched a live broadcast, right?
So, the only possibility was that John used his favors, his connections.
But what could be done about it? There was no direct evidence, and John himself hadn't directly intervened.
The world is like this, the martial world is like this; besides fighting and killing, there are also human relations and social graces.
The moment he saw the Sacrifice Squad, Zhang Jie knew that his pursuit had been completely terminated. For the remaining dozen or so hours, he wouldn't have to worry about his safety.
"There shouldn't be anyone with poor judgment next, right?"
Unless someone was truly brain-dead and insisted on coming.
No one answered him.
Before this thought even finished, the next second, Yin Yang turned around and fired several shots towards the stairwell.
Two unlucky individuals were thus shot in the head, and crimson blood bloomed on the staircase.
"Alright, I admit, my perception was indeed short-sighted. There are indeed people who don't value their lives and still rush forward."
The slap in the face came too quickly; he didn't even have a chance to retract his words.
Most assassins who followed the live broadcast knew that this couldn't continue unless they were suicidal.
Of course, there were also some hotheads who didn't follow the live broadcast, or even assassins who didn't recognize the Sacrifice Squad.
Like the two little idiots who were inexplicably shot in the head just now.
As for Luo Feiyu, who had already escaped, the five members of the Sacrifice Squad didn't bother with her. Their goal was to support Zhang Jie and take him away, not to help him hunt down those assassins.
Moreover, they also realized that this so-called live hunt was merely to train these reserve members.
They could only say that it was indeed a major conglomerate; human lives were simply a string of numbers to them.
With the end of the global live broadcast, everyone who watched this live video remembered this guy, Zhang Jie.
It was a pity that his nickname couldn't be determined in the end.
Those who knew him breathed a sigh of relief for Zhang Jie, and were also surprised by his progress. Those who didn't know him simply felt that Zhang Jie had very good luck.
But all in all, it was a conclusion. After getting into the black Toyota Prado, they drove all the way back to Concord.
In the car, Ross told Zhang Jie, "Your master has leased you to us to complete a mission. However, before that, we need to put you through some special training, as your current strength isn't enough."
Zhang Jie didn't doubt Ross because he had already seen the message John sent him.
But Zhang Jie began to lament the vastness of this world, never expecting so many characters he once knew to appear in his life. At the same time, he developed great curiosity and anticipation for this world.
His master had extensive connections, but what about himself?
While in the car, Caesar couldn't help but say, "Zhang, do you know? John's first disciple, Ling Feng, he's much fiercer than you."
This wasn't the first time Zhang Jie had heard the name Ling Feng, so he was somewhat immune to it.
"Of course, I know."
John had long told Zhang Jie how heaven-defying Ling Feng's talent was.
Then Caesar said with a mischievous look, "Zhang, then you must not know that Ling Feng was once also in our Sacrifice Squad, right?"
"Hmm?!"
This sentence instantly stunned Zhang Jie. What level was the Sacrifice Squad?
They were a top-tier group, ranked TOP 1 globally.
And this kid, Ling Feng, had actually served in the Sacrifice Squad!
In an instant, Zhang Jie's judgment of Ling Feng was updated again.
His strength seemed even more outrageous than he had imagined, because he could tell from Caesar's tone and expression that Ling Feng had definitely been a legendary existence.
"Damn it, I hate talented freaks!"
Zhang Jie mumbled softly, but who among those present wasn't sharp-eyed and sharp-eared?
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Everyone burst into relieved laughter.
Ling Feng's position in their Sacrifice Squad was irreplaceable. One must know that the world was not lacking in geniuses, but Ling Feng showed them what the pinnacle of genius was.
His abnormal reaction ability, judgment, and astonishing physical endurance even made them wonder if there truly were superhumans in this world.
Therefore, during Ling Feng's time in the Sacrifice Squad, their business was actually very good.
Especially when Ling Feng left the Sacrifice Squad after a year, they were extremely reluctant.
But this guy named Zhang Jie, compared to Ling Feng, was truly like comparing the moon to the light of a firefly.
However, it was undeniable that Zhang Jie also had strong points that Ling Feng lacked; he was calm enough and cautious enough.
He even had extremely strong learning ability and room for improvement, which they had seen very clearly in the live broadcast.
Although he couldn't reach Ling Feng's abnormal level, for now, his abilities still far surpassed those of other assassins.
It was just a pity that he had too little time to grow and hadn't yet reached the level of a truly top-tier master.
However, for this mission, time was probably tight, so they could only arrange some special training for Zhang Jie in the shortest possible time.
In the car, Rod had already given Zhang Jie some simple bandaging and stopped the bleeding.
Upon returning to Concord, Zhang Jie followed their car to the Sacrifice Squad's stronghold.
To be honest, this stronghold was really inconspicuous.
On the surface, it looked like an ordinary repair shop. Who would have thought that a world-class Sacrifice Squad was hidden here?
Upon entering the base, Zhang Jie saw a burly man idly playing with a large folding knife. Christmas said to Zhang Jie, "That guy is Jensen. He has a mental illness, so keep your distance from him."
Uh... Is it really appropriate to talk about someone like that right in front of him?
And Jensen also heard Christmas's loud voice. Christmas had no intention of hiding it, "Hey! You damned bald Mediterranean, can you stop always badmouthing me?"
Then he shifted his gaze to Zhang Jie, "Who's this again? I've only seen you guys since I got back. Where did you go again?"
Ross didn't speak, just patted his shoulder, and continued walking inside.
Yin Yang and Jensen were already at odds, so neither of them spoke.
Christmas, however, retorted, "Who told you to go look for good girls? We went and had some fun."
Caesar, meanwhile, put his arm around Zhang Jie's neck and walked inside.
Rod kindly explained, "This is our teammate for a while."
Jensen didn't reply, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.
