Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Chapter 717: Chapter 678: Ten Trillion Euros in Cash

The monster facing them transformed, instantly becoming a gigantic, terrifying creature. Miss Lili immediately hid behind Zhao Rong, her voice trembling with fear. "Zhao Rong, this thing turned into a giant firefly! It’s horrifying... I’m so scared its sharp beak is going to come over and suck me dry!"

Lady Yu Lan stared at the enormous insect before her and exclaimed, "My God, I never thought a firefly magnified a million times would be even scarier than a dinosaur..."

Lady Xuelian was even more frightened. "Zhao Rong, what do we do? How are we supposed to deal with this massive firefly?"

Just then, the monstrous firefly charged toward Zhao Rong and his group, roaring, "Now, I’m going to kill you! I’ll smash you all to smithereens!"

However, before the giant firefly could finish its threat, Zhao Rong pulled a bottle of liquid from his pocket. Smiling at the three ladies, he said, "Since we can’t handle this enormous firefly, why don’t we just shrink it? If we make it as small as a pug, dealing with it will be much easier, right?"

As he spoke, Zhao Rong opened the bottle, poked a small hole in the cap, and with a hard squeeze, sprayed a stream of liquid directly onto the giant insect. The moment the liquid hit the massive creature, it immediately began to shrink. When the three ladies and the assistant saw the behemoth rapidly diminishing before their eyes, they quickly took out their phones to capture the incredible moment. The assistant exclaimed, "Boss, that shrinking liquid in your pocket is amazing! To be able to shrink a monster that huge in an instant... this is a real eye-opener!"

In less than a minute, the firefly, which had been as tall as a three-story building, suddenly shrank to the size of a pug. Seeing the shrunken firefly monster, the three ladies and the assistant immediately grabbed the nearest weapons and charged.

Miss Lili, holding a stool, rushed forward and slammed it down on the creature, yelling, "Try acting so tough now, monster! I’m going to smash you to death with this stool!" Lady Yu Lan picked up a cobblestone and smashed it against the firefly’s back. "I’ve loved using cobblestones as weapons ever since I first tried it!" she declared. "They’re fantastic—easy to handle and surprisingly accurate!" Lady Xuelian then pulled two cans of pepper spray from her pocket and sprayed them wildly at the creature on the ground, saying, "My pepper spray might be hit-or-miss sometimes... but I still believe its power is infinite!" Finally, the assistant, after finding a pair of pliers on the ground, lunged forward and began clamping wildly, shouting, "You unscrupulous villain, you’ve been a menace to society for too long! I’m ending you right here, right now!"

Under the combined assault, the firefly monster was subdued before Zhao Rong even had to make a move. He stepped forward, tied up the creature with a rope, and immediately called the police. Standing nearby, Miss Lili began the interrogation. "Spit it out! Who sent you?"

The firefly monster confessed, "Wang Jingang paid me a hefty sum and built this so-called Magic Academy specifically to lie in wait for you..."

When Lady Yu Lan heard that the academy was built by Wang Jingang as a trap, she said in amazement, "I can’t believe that villain Wang Jingang is so wealthy. He casually spent a fortune building a school here just to set a trap for Zhao Rong..."

Lady Xuelian, equally taken aback, added, "It seems the Wang Jingang we’re looking for is no simple assassin..."

The assistant questioned the firefly monster, "Where is Wang Jingang? Tell us his exact address, or we’ll finish you right here on the spot!"

The firefly monster replied in an aggrieved tone, "When Wang Jingang hired me, he did it through an online order and paid me electronically... As for the man himself, I’ve never even met him, let alone know where he is..."

Just then, the police arrived in a Black Hawk helicopter. The police chief disembarked, shook Zhao Rong’s hand, and said gratefully, "Young hero, thank you for ridding society of a great evil and capturing this major fugitive."

"As an honorary citizen, it’s my duty," Zhao Rong replied modestly.

The assistant, however, was very concerned about the reward. "Chief, my boss, Zhao Rong, caught this wanted man. How much bounty money will he get?"

Hearing this, the chief immediately motioned to the driver of a nearby armored truck. "Bring the truck over. All the cash inside is Zhao Rong’s reward."

When the assistant saw they were rewarding Zhao Rong with an entire truckload of cash, he was gobsmacked. "Holy moly! I can’t believe they brought an armored truck for Boss Zhao Rong’s bounty this time! His money-making skills are insane!"

As Zhao Rong accepted the truckload of cash, he asked curiously, "Chief, I thought the wanted poster said the bounty was only 10 million euros? Why did you bring an armored truck to deliver it?"

The three ladies, also looking at the massive truck in confusion, asked, "Yeah, 10 million euros would fit in seven or eight cases at most. Why bring a whole armored truck?"

The chief smiled and explained, "The bounty information you saw was twenty years old. To ensure we caught this notorious felon, we raised the bounty to 10 million trillion euros in cash."

When the group of five heard "10 million trillion euros," they were completely dumbfounded. The amount of money was so astronomical it was simply immeasurable.

"Chief," Zhao Rong said, astonished, "isn’t this bounty a little... excessive? Is the headmaster of the Magic Academy really worth that much?"

Miss Lili added in amazement, "Looks like Zhao Rong really caught a hidden big shot today..."

Curious, Lady Yu Lan asked the chief, "Chief, what on earth did the headmaster of the Magic Academy do to warrant such an astronomical bounty?"

Lady Xuelian’s imagination ran wild as she guessed, "I bet the headmaster was trying to destroy the world... And today, Zhao Rong didn’t just eliminate him—he saved the entire world, maybe even the entire universe!"
