The morning sun shined on the land.

Because it was summer, when the sun rose, the air became hot and dry, just like many people's hearts.

The news of Xu Taiping's death swept through China like a hurricane, covering the entire world.

Some people guessed it was terror. Some people even said that Xu Taiping had been taken revenge by his enemies, but no matter what, Xu Taiping had been killed. That was an indisputable fact.

Some people were elated while others were depressed. Everyone had their own emotions, and as a person, Xu Taiping was able to influence the emotions of so many people. It could be considered a success in his life.

On China's side, the government had deployed a large number of military police to head to Jiang Yuan City.

The entire Jiangyuan City was sealed off.

This was the first time in the history of China that a city of this size had been completely cordoned off. Following that, all sorts of experts entered Jiang Yuan City to investigate the matter.

Soon, the results of the investigation came to light.

The experts used surveillance and some information about the entry and exit to quickly lock down the attackers, and then dug up the identities of the attackers. After the identities of these attackers were dug up, the KBX company was also dug up, because these attackers were all automatons, and in the entire world, only the KBX company was capable of manufacturing automatons, so these attackers must be related to the KBX company.

So, China immediately contacted the KBX company, hoping that they could assist in the investigation, but was rejected by the company. The reason for rejection was very simple, the automatons were indeed transformed by them, but the automatons' crimes had nothing to do with them.

This kind of explanation made sense, as if you were the one who made the kitchen knife, and then someone took the knife you made to kill you, so what did the murder have to do with you?

In the same way, the KBX company produced soldiers, but if the soldiers went to kill Xu Taiping, what did it have to do with the KBX company?

This is unjustifiable.

Of course, although this explanation made sense, but … Everyone knew that this matter was definitely related to KBX, because there were very, very few organizations in the world that could mobilize more than 100 soldiers at the same time. Other than KBX, there was no other organization or nation that could make more than 100 soldiers act as human eggs.

Therefore, everyone had already determined that it was the KBX Corporation that created this case, just like how everyone believed that it was Xu Taiping who killed Wang Jiexi.

However, just like Xu Taiping before, although everyone believed that KBX was the culprit behind this case, without solid evidence, there was nothing you could do about it.

The Chinese side naturally had no evidence, because everyone was already dead, including the more than 100 soldiers. Moreover, the KBX Corporation's ability to eliminate evidence was also very strong, and all the evidence related to this case had already been wiped clean before it even occurred. Even the most powerful experts of this case would not be able to find any traces of it.

Although there was no evidence, but this time, China was truly angered. Therefore, China began to investigate all of the KBX companies' businesses in China and ordered these companies to stop using all sorts of reasons to capture quite a few of their upper echelons.

This caused dissatisfaction in many countries, however, in the face of the wrath of China, discontent in these countries had no meaning.

Many people understood that China was about to seek revenge for Xu Taiping, and KBX Corporation was probably going to completely withdraw from the market in half a month to a month, leaving behind a few executives in prison.

At this moment, only half a day had passed since the explosion.

The Chinese side's revenge came so quickly, it was shocking. Moreover, it was said that some of the upper echelons had already given the order, this time the revenge wouldn't be for a short period of time. The Chinese side would do everything possible to take revenge on the KBX company in the future.

It has to be known, the KBX company has a market capitalization of over a trillion, and such a company has a huge influence all over the world, its shareholders and even the nobles of some countries. So, if you want to destroy this company, there is a possibility that you can directly face up against a few countries, and this might even cause a disturbance throughout the world.

White Bear Country, Chu Ye Country and other countries' leaders all personally called China, hoping that they would be able to restrain themselves. However, China didn't take these words to heart.

The entire world's situation had turned serious because of Xu Taiping's death.

In this situation, bounty lists that targeted KBX's upper echelons appeared on the website.

These bounties appeared at the same time, so it could be counted as being issued by the same person. There were a total of twenty-six targets on the bounty list, the smallest bounty list was $200 million while the largest was $30 billion!

The total value of these bounty lists was over one hundred billion dollars, and the publishers of these bounty lists did not know of their identities.

According to the news from the hitman association, the person who posted the bounty slip had directly transferred all the money into the hitman association's account. Anyone who took the head of the upper echelons of the KBX company would receive a corresponding reward!

This time, the entire world of assassins went crazy.

A bounty of 100 billion US dollars for a company was unprecedented in the world of assassins. Even the bounty for Xu Taiping was far less than the bounty for this time.

No one knew, some people said it was the Chinese authorities, they were forced by the lack of evidence to do anything to the upper echelons of the KBX company, so they used this method. Some people said the rewards were only given by Xu Taiping's friends, in order to avenge Xu Taiping.

There were all sorts of theories, but none of them were completely convincing.

After the release of the bounty slip, the Assassin's Guild received many bounty slips one after the other. The bounty slips were all aimed at twenty-six shareholders in the upper echelons of the KBX company. Each person's bounty was different, some with one million, some with ten million.

This kind of bounty was not new in the world of assassins. Once you kill this type of target, you will complete several bounty missions.

This was simply a feast for the world of assassins. Before, it was a task to kill one target and earn one bounty, but now, a target could have hundreds of bounty quests. Killing a target was equivalent to completing hundreds of bounty quests and could earn hundreds of bounty quests, such good things were really rare, thus, groups of assassins accepted the task. Among these killers, whoever could kill the target, would be the one to complete the task.

After a lot of people accepted the same task, whoever was the fastest was likely to become the first to receive a bonus. Thus, after 10 hours after Xu Taiping was killed, the groups of killers left their residences one after another, heading towards the KBX company's upper echelons.

Of course, the upper echelons of the company would not wait for death. They had money and soldiers, and each of the upper management shareholders had at least three soldiers by their side, along with the bodyguards they had hired with a lot of money.

KBX also issued a statement to the public that if anyone dared to assassinate their shareholders, even if the assassination was successful, the company would pursue them at all costs.

Such a statement was quite frightening, but under the temptation of money, not many people were scared.

In addition to the physical extermination of KBX's senior shareholders, there were others who began to snipe at the company in the financial markets.

Seven hours after the bombing, a wave of mysterious capital began to snipe at KBX and its subsidiaries in global financial markets.

The stock price of KBX fell off a cliff in a short period of time, as did both KBX's head office and its subsidiaries.

At first, there were people who suspected that the Chinese authorities were behind this, but later on, many people realized that a large portion of this mysterious capital came from the Western world, and it had nothing to do with the Chinese authorities.

The appearance of this mysterious capital caused many to suspect that Xu Taiping had a deep background in western consortia. Otherwise, these western capital would not have dealt with a similar western company like KBX.

Under the pressure of the government of China and the bounty of the assassination world, the KBX Company was able to stand tall under the sniping of large amounts of mysterious capital.

This was the most difficult situation that the KBX company had encountered since its inception. This difficulty far exceeded their expectations before, they did not expect that the Chinese authorities would fight them to the death. They felt that the Chinese authorities would at most kick them out of the Chinese market, or even the Eastern market.

Even if they left the Chinese market, it would still be useless. Similarly, the KBX Corporation never thought that there would be a bounty of over 100 billion dollars on the market for the shareholders of the KBX Corporation. They had no idea where this money came from, and in the end, even the KBX Corporation had no idea about the sniping in the financial markets.

Under these circumstances, the KBX company was struggling.

All of the KBX company's top shareholders were no longer as happy as they were before. Some of them even began to regret the attack on Xu Taiping.

Jiang Yuan City.

Twelve hours after the bombing, Su Yiguo took a leave of absence from the city police because of his physical problems and then disappeared.

Similarly, people like Zhao Xiaohua and Zhou Qianyun, who were related to Xu Taiping, also disappeared one after the other.

Of course, in the face of Xu Taiping's death, these people's disappearance didn't seem to matter at all. In fact, almost no one paid attention to them. Even if someone did, they would only feel depressed and look for a place to calm down.
