Chapter 879 Let’s have a showdown between men
"Lupine III, hand over the ore."

A sudden turn stopped the armored car in front of Lupine III, and Allen's pistol was aimed at him, threatening him.

The soldiers on the armored vehicle also raised their guns at the same time and aimed at him. Not only that, two more armored vehicles rushed out not far away and pointed the black holes of the heavy machine guns at him.

Judging from their posture, it seems that if Lupine III makes even the slightest abnormal move, they will immediately shoot him and beat him into a sieve... No, with so many gun muzzles, I'm afraid even the sieve won't work and he will be reduced to a pulp.

"Wow, it's really a big battle. Is it necessary to do this..."

Immediately being pointed at by countless guns, Lupine the Third raised his hands above his head and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Given how cunning you are, I think this is necessary."

Allen looked at him expressionlessly, the gun in his hand not moving at all.

"Hand over the ore, I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

This is also his principle of doing things. They are not a terrorist organization or a bandit gang. Their identity is the National Defense Force and they have their own bottom line in doing things.

He was unwilling to kill unless it was absolutely necessary. Because of this, he tied a fake bomb around Fujiko Mine's neck.

As for what happened in the underground parking lot during the day, it was purely because he suspected that Lupine III had betrayed him, so he gave the order to kill.

"Yes, yes, the person holding the gun is majestic..."

With a helpless shrug, Lupine III slowly bent down and placed the ore box in his hand on the ground.

"Put the box on the ground first, and then kick it over. Don't try any more tricks." Allen said threateningly.

"Okay, okay, really... Now, Allen, just think of it as a casual question from me."

Bending down to put the box on the ground, Lupine III kept this action, placed one hand on it, looked up at Allen, and suddenly asked:
"You should know what the consequences will be if the existence of this kind of ore is exposed, right?"

Needless to say, the effect of this mysterious ore produced in Besbania is that it can block all electronic signals in the world. This alone is enough to cause a subversive impact on the technology of modern civilization.

Once its existence is exposed, the deterrence balance among the major powers in modern society is likely to be broken instantly, with disastrous consequences.

"Of course I know."

Knowing very well the reason why Lupine III asked this question, Allen spoke calmly, and his face still had that cold and firm expression, like a real soldier.

"My country is in dire straits right now. Even if I don't hesitate to make a deal with the devil and use the cruelest means, I must save it from this despair."

"I'm just a slightly famous thief. I don't know much about these things between countries... But what I want to ask is, is there really no other way but to use this method?"

"This is the best way." Allen's tone was extremely certain, without any wavering in it.

"Yeah, I understand..."

Seeing his attitude, Lupine III said no more. With a little force on his hand, he pushed the ore box out and slid it to Allen's feet.

"The ore is inside, take it." Then he straightened up, raised his hands and said.

A soldier immediately stepped forward and opened the box. After confirming that all the ores inside were there and had not been tampered with, he lifted the box and nodded lightly to Allen.

"You made the right choice, Lupine III, and I am also a person who keeps my promises. You are safe."

With that gentlemanly smile finally showing on his face again, Allen put away his gun and sat back in the armored vehicle, while the soldiers around him also got on the vehicle. "Is it the right choice? I don't think so..."

Still maintaining the posture of raising his hands, Lupine III looked at Allen, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Alan, let's have a duel between men. Although you can escape with the ore, I swear that before you leave Japan, I will take it back from you again!
If I lose, the ore will be at your disposal, and I will ensure that the legendary thief Lupine III will never try to mess with you or it again from now on.

But if I win, I will take away the ore. I hope that by then, you can try to use other methods that will not harm third parties and seek to save your country from other angles. How about it? "

"Hmph, a duel between men..."

Looking at Lupine III who suddenly said these words, Allen was just stunned, and then chuckled.

"I really didn't expect that the legendary Lupine III would be such a childish person... But if you really think you can do it, just give it a try."

After saying that, without waiting for Lupine III to respond, Allen drifted and drove the armored vehicle away at high speed, with several other armored vehicles following closely behind him.

"If you don't refuse, then I'll treat it as if you agreed?"

Standing there, watching Allen's car gradually go away, Lupine III slowly put down his hand and muttered to himself.

The gunfire in the distance subsided at about this time, and Bai Hejing's voice sounded in the headset again.

"Hello, Mr. Lupine, are you still alive? Please reply when you receive it."

"I always feel like, Chris-chan, your tone sounds like you're hoping something bad happens to me..." Lupin III couldn't help but complain.

It was obviously a word of concern, but he just couldn't hear any concern in it.

"Since you can still complain about me, it seems that everything is fine."

Completely ignoring his complaints, Bai Hejing asked:
"So? Where is Mr. Lupine now? Tell me your location. Do you need support?"

"Little Chrissy-chan, have you solved it over there?"

"It's solved. A few soldiers sneaked over and tried to kill me, but I already knocked them down."

"You didn't kill anyone, right?" After hearing her words, Lupine III suddenly became nervous.

Bai Hejing: "..."

After being silent for a while, she finally asked: "Mr. Lupine, I don't think you have ever left such an image of a murderer, right?"

"I just want to make sure, as long as I didn't kill anyone, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to your father..."

"Please don't pretend to be my elder."

"Okay~ It's right next to the hangar just now. Come quickly and meet me. Let's hurry up and get the ore back together."

"Oh? What a surprise! I was just blinking and Mr. Lupin has already lost the ore?"

Bai Hejing sounded surprised, and the sound of her running could be heard in the headset. It was obvious that she was already rushing here.
