The famous killer from the United States, the wasp king Guterres, never imagined he would be stung to death by wasps.
This could be considered a form of retribution. His superpower was controlling wasps, and he had killed many people using killer wasps.
Now, controlled by Ling Tian's wasps, he was bitten to death, which was also a form of karma.
Ling Tian's wasps had been specially enhanced by the Beast Taming Garden. Ling Tian had subdued a wasp king, and through this wasp king, he could control other wasps.
However, Ling Tian had too many offensive skills, so he didn't even think of using this method. This time, facing Guterres's swarm of wasps, Ling Tian summoned his own wasps. To his surprise, these wasps were incredibly powerful. Within tens of seconds, they killed all the killer wasps, with only a few of Ling Tian's wasps lost.
As Ling Tian gave the command, these wasps plunged their stingers into Guterres's body. Within minutes, Guterres breathed his last. However, before he completely died, Ling Tian cast a spell, and Guterres's soul was directly absorbed into the Soul Refining Furnace within the Spirit Realm space.
A few minutes later, a jade pendant appeared before Ling Tian. Ling Tian placed the jade pendant on his forehead and injected his true essence. Guterres's memories surged into Ling Tian's mind.
After seeing this information, Ling Tian frowned because the memories did not contain any information related to the employer.
Guterres had accepted this mission through the assassin task platform on the dark web. This platform was very mysterious, and even Guterres didn't know who the employer behind it was.
But this was not important to Ling Tian. He knew with his eyes closed that the perpetrators were most likely from the Gustav family.
However, Guterres's memories contained a lot of wealth accumulated by their assassin organization, safe houses, and even billions of US dollars in his bank account. This made Ling Tian very happy. He planned to hand over all these assets to the North American branch of the Misty Rain Pavilion.
Next, Ling Tian and Ali continued along a tributary of the underground lake. After traveling for another ten kilometers, they found a crevice leading to the surface and emerged from underground.
Ling Tian then took out his GPS tracking device and discovered that they were already more than 80 kilometers away from the wasp nest base.
Ling Tian summoned the Sea Eagle and entered the Spirit Realm space with Ali. Finally, at dawn, they returned to the camp.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, Aurora found Ling Tian with an anxious expression.
"Ling Tian, something has happened. Lawyer Bentancur is dead!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian's expression turned grim. Although he had only met Lawyer Bentancur once, he had a very good impression of the lawyer.
Especially during this period, Lawyer Bentancur had been in Maple Leaf Country assisting Wang Qingtian with his lawsuit. With his help, Wang Qingtian was very safe there and did not have to worry about being extradited to the United States.
It was also through Lawyer Bentancur's introduction that Ling Tian and Aurora found Leonard Hughes.
Unexpectedly, such a kind-hearted person had died.
"How did he die?" Ling Tian asked with a heavy tone.
"A car accident. A drunk truck driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed directly into the car Lawyer Bentancur was in. His car was crushed into scrap metal, and Lawyer Bentancur and his driver were killed on the spot..."
Ling Tian sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, that driver either had a terminal illness or was deeply in debt..."
Aurora also gave a wry smile, "You guessed it right. He had both!"
"These people are really uncreative, still using such cliché methods," Ling Tian scoffed.
Using a staged traffic accident to carry out an assassination was a widely used method in countries around the world. After all, the penalty for traffic violations was much lighter than for intentional homicide.
"This must have been done by those people from the Gustav family!" Aurora stated with certainty.
In fact, Aurora's judgment was not wrong. With the intervention of lawyer Hughes, Wang Qingtian's case was developing in a direction unfavorable to the Gustav family.
Especially since lawyer Hughes had rallied many companies that had suffered the same fate as Ice Sky Pharmaceuticals to sue the Gustav family. The Gustav family was struggling to cope, and the people behind them found it difficult to withstand such immense pressure.
Therefore, Boris Gustav planned to quickly extradite Wang Qingtian to the United States before everything was settled. Once Wang Qingtian was in the United States, they would have countless ways to force a confession from him, and then they would have grounds to deal with him.
However, this was not an easy task. Lawyer Bentancur had been working tirelessly in Maple Leaf Country to prevent Wang Qingtian's extradition to the United States, facing significant resistance.
This greatly angered Boris Gustav, so he decided to resort to underhanded tactics. If they couldn't solve the problem, they would eliminate the person causing the problem – this was their consistent and overbearing way of thinking.
Thus, Boris Gustav instructed the death row inmates harbored by the Gustav family to personally go to Maple Leaf Country and orchestrate this assassination.
The truck driver, suffering from a terminal illness and burdened by debt, had just lost his job. At this moment, someone approached him, promising that if he caused this car accident, his debts would be paid off, and he would receive hundreds of thousands of US dollars in compensation, enough for his son to grow up safely.
So the truck driver agreed and meticulously planned the car accident. Although the driver was arrested on the spot, he fell into a coma due to the impact of the crash and died two days later, leaving no evidence.
Although the police in Maple Leaf Country ruled it an accident, any normal person would know that there was more to the story.
"It seems they are desperate and resorting to dirty tricks.
With the death of Lawyer Bentancur, the work assisting my father-in-law will be interrupted.
At the same time, this serves as a warning to those who want to help us!" Ling Tian analyzed.
"What do you plan to do about this?"
"Heh, of course, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
...
In a spacious mansion in the capital of the United States, an old lady in her late seventies returned to her bedroom after completing her intensive skin care.
The old lady's name was Georgina Gustav.
She had this surname because she was Boris Gustav's wife.
Georgina was no ordinary woman; her family was also a renowned conglomerate in the United States.
