Meanwhile, in China’s highest office…
The air was extremely heavy.
“The Wyvern Egg was stolen, and even Elder Qing is missing.” A faint voice echoed in the office, causing everyone to shudder.
Everyone knew that the man seated at the highest position in the office was furious, and not just a little.
Looking at the middle-aged man’s livid face, the Patriarch of major top families, and even the Generals had a slight change in their expression.
Right at that very moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the corner, “Sir, it’s not just ours, but even Japan’s Wyvern Egg has been stolen, and…”
Speaking up to this point, the person in the corner hesitated.
“And what!?” A cold voice rang in that man’s ear as if the speaker had spoken right in his ear.
The person in the corner involuntarily shuddered and hastily replied, “And according to the message sent by Japan, the one who attacked them seemed to be our Iron Knights, and up until now, they have verified this with us multiple times.”
“Has it been confirmed?”
With a slightly stiff expression, the young man in the corner stood up and nodded, affirming, “We’ve finished verifying. The one who attacked the Japanese team was none other than the missing leader of the 7th Squad, Zi Yan.”
As soon as this was said, the air in the entire office became extremely heavy. A look of astonishment even flashed on the faces of several important figures. Clearly, this news had a significant impact on them.
However, just at this moment, as if thinking of something, a general stood up and stated, “Although it’s been confirmed that it was the missing 7th Squad that attacked the Japanese team, whether it was their own doing or something else is still up for debate. After all, everyone knows that among the Mutant Beasts, there are many capable of controlling minds.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
But after a moment, a cold voice interrupted, “Regardless of whether they were controlled or not, the moment they attacked, we were left with no choice.”
At this point, General Nie smacked the table, and stated in an icy cold tone, “Traitors deserve to die. The ones who go against their own race deserve an even more unforgivable punishment.”
This statement rendered everyone helpless.
The law was ruthless.
Since they chose to take action, they had to be prepared to pay the price. Even if they were controlled, the government could and would not forgive them.
Because no Human dared to guarantee that these guys, after returning, would not still be under control.
In other words, these Knights were about to be banished by China and branded as traitors for committing treason.
….
However, compared to these traitors, another major event was more concerning.
Thinking about the news sent by China’s Strongest Knight and the Empress He Ling Er, an old man’s face also turned unsightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he could not help but stand up and remind, “Everyone, don’t forget, our two Apex Superhumans have been poisoned. If we don’t find a solution soon, they might be in danger.”
“Poisoned…”
Muttering to himself, the President of China asked, “Have the results of the examination come out?”
“No.” Shaking his head, the old man heaved a helpless sigh and continued, “Until now, we have used the most sophisticated instruments available to us, and also consulted with many experts, but we haven’t been able to find anything.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the crowd changed slightly.
Apparently, this was not good news for them.
But after a moment, as if thinking of something, a voice filled with doubt suddenly echoed, “Is that Tree Monster really so terrifying that it can release a poison that we can’t even detect? Or is it possible that the Tree Monster is just bluffing…”
However, before he could even finish his sentence, a voice interrupted him, “It’s better to be safe than sorry. It has been confirmed that the Tree Monster is much more terrifying than we imagined. What’s more, we cannot afford the risk. If something really happened to our two Apex Superhumans, our entire China will be in danger.”
Making these points, he added again, “Just now, we learned that the Iron Fist Tyrant of Russia has set out with a large number of resources towards Misty Mountains.”
“…” Silence. Everyone fell into utter silence.
Even the President of China had a slight change in his expression.
After some unknown time, the President of China stood up slowly.
*Haaaaa* A sigh escaped his lips before he waved his hand and stated in resignation, “Then we’ll follow the Tree Monster’s will,”
However, the very next moment, he changed the topic and stated in an icy cold tone, “Pass my message to the Tree Monster, tell it that if we give it what it wants, and it still refuses to detoxify, our China will spare no effort to make it pay, even if it means destroying the net to catch the fish.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
All the important figures nodded in agreement, with a trace of determination on their faces.
[The Tree Monster is already stepping on China’s head. If it continues to oppress us, we’ll have no choice but fight back. While we’ll definitely suffer severe losses at that time, you will not have it any easier either.]
…
Meanwhile, in Misty Mountains, Yu Zi Yu was completely oblivious to what was transpiring in China. However, even if he knew, he would not have cared. In fact, he had long been prepared to oppose the entire Human Race. In his opinion, even if battle took place, it was nothing to be worried about.
The outcome was already set in stone.
Given his current strength combined with Nine Tails, Misty Mountains could already be considered invincible.
Of course, this was just the worst case scenario.
China currently does not have the courage. Even if Yu Zi Yu had to take the innumerable Mutant Beasts living in Misty Mountains into consideration, if a full-scale war broke out, the entire continent would be doomed, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood flowing everywhere.
This was not what Yu Zi Yu, or even China, wanted to see.
After all, besides Misty Mountains and China, there were many forces lurking in the dark.
“Divine Tree…” a call interrupted Yu Zi Yu’s contemplation.
Looking up, he saw a beautiful young girl with long black hair, standing quietly not far away from Yu Zi Yu’s tree body.
“You’ve already gained control of her!?” Asking, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The beautiful, colorful glow flickering in the eyes of the girl did not go unnoticed by him.
This was Saroli, a girl with the ability to listen to the Voice of All Things. She was also the gift that Yu Zi Yu had brought back for Five Color Spirit Flower.
By the looks of it, Five Color Spirit Flower was quite satisfied with her gift; the girl she was controlling had a small smile tugging the corner of her lips.
