Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Chapter 276 BM Bounty: Lin Chuan, 100 Billion Dollars?_2 (2/2)
“I just discovered a screenshot; I’ve sent it to you,” Angelina immediately sent a picture to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan received the picture, lightly tapped with his finger, and the image filled the phone screen.
This picture had a dark background with off-white English text.
There was also a small part highlighted in red.
Upon seeing it, Lin Chuan’s face instantly turned to astonishment, then he let out a wry laugh.
The picture read clearly—
[Target: Lin Chuan.]
[Bounty: 100 billion dollars.]
[Payment method: Virtual Coin.]
[Task requirement: Don’t kill him; we need him alive.]
It was succinct.
It contained only ‘target,’ ‘bounty,’ and ‘task requirement,’ with no mention of a sponsoring organization, contact information, watermarks, logos, or any other details about Lin Chuan.
“One hundred billion dollars, that’s too fake; it looks like a fabricated image,” Lin Chuan replied to Angelina.
The world’s richest person is only worth a bit over 200 billion dollars.
Completing this job would put one straight onto the Hurun Rich List.
However, Angelina held a different opinion, “Idol, one hundred billion dollars might be Photoshopped, but this picture looks like the style from BM.”
BM?
Lin Chuan’s hands froze, and he recalled that website.
He had a bit of a connection with it.
BM, a dark web site, was unsearchable through regular search engines, and the barriers to accessing BM were incredibly high.
Without IT knowledge or some Virtual Coin, it was almost impossible to find the BM website.
Their main business was straightforward—hiring assassins.
The website’s creators claimed their assassins were clean and efficient, never lingering after completing their objectives, and had top-notch professionalism.
If the job failed, or the client wasn’t satisfied, they could contact customer service for a full or partial refund.
It was incredibly ginkgo-like (off the wall)!
It’s worth mentioning that the website used Virtual Coin for payments, the kind of currency that is well-concealed and highly liquid, making it tough for police to trace.
Lin Chuan stroked his chin.
He had been staying up late a lot recently, and at the age of 25, his stubble had grown a bit, slightly prickly to the touch but not an unpleasant sensation.
He muttered, “It does look somewhat like BM’s style.”
As a world-class hacker, he was quite familiar with most dark web sites, and BM was no exception.
BM’s website had a dark background with an off-gold banner stating—If you want to stab someone, come to us.
Below were various different sections.
One was an assassin area, similar to an assassin leaderboard; employers could choose their operative like picking a song in a KTV.
The main difference was that the leaderboard only displayed records and not identities.
Another major area was the bounty list.
This place was not only a gathering spot for employers posting jobs but also a paradise for bounty hunters.
It not only hosted tasks from clients but also featured high-bounty criminals from various countries.
Some individuals were on both the assassin leaderboard and the bounty list.
Um, quite an odd website.
“Idol?” Angelina sent another message, seeming to confirm Lin Chuan’s safety.
Lin Chuan snapped back to reality and replied, “You wait for me to check whether I’m on BM’s bounty list.”
One hundred billion dollars looked a bit too fake.
After all, the reason boiled down to an excessive offering—how could that be possible?
“Okay,” Angelina responded.
Lin Chuan stood up, slipped on his shoes, and quickly walked into his room. He dialed a telephone, expertly entered a long string of web addresses, his ten fingers gracefully dancing over the keys like playing a piano, elegantly, beautifully.
Soon, the BM website appeared before Lin Chuan’s eyes.
