Planning to Bomb Me? Are You Worthy?

The President of E Country was surprised to see the trio still hesitating. He said, "Are you really going to allow him to do as he pleases? Since we have such a good relationship, I'm only trying to help you solve a problem. Ultimately, the decision is still up to you."

After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Wangrui said, "Brother Puig, we'll need some time to think about this." 

"No problem. Contact me when you've thought it through. We'll set up a trap and kill him," Puig said in a deep voice, "A variable like him might cause dissension in your Nine Region Empire. Some will listen to the government, and some will listen to Gu Changqing. I don't think you want such a thing to happen, right?"

"Let's discuss this another time," Huang Mengguo said before he asked, "Besides, are you sure your brother can beat Gu Changqing?"

Puig laughed. "My brother has watched the video of Gu Changqing fighting the tier-seven black demi dragon many times. He's about 60% certain that he'll be able to kill Gu Changqing. If we join forces with more powerful Divine Runemasters, he'll definitely die."

Puig continued to say, "By the way, my brother also just killed a tier-seven mutant beast the day before yesterday. Anyway, take a few days to think about this and let me know."

"Alright," Huang Mengguo said with a nod.

After ending the video call, Xuanyuan Wangrui asked in a deep voice, "Can we trust him?"

"What? You're really thinking about killing Gu Changqing? Earlier, I was just being perfunctory when I said I was going to consider it," Long Zhanguo said in a deep voice, "If Gu Changqing wants control of the Nine Region Empire, I'm willing to step back. Do you really want to kill him?"

Long Zhanguo had never been hostile toward Gu Changqing. Moreover, it seemed like Gu Changqing had no interest in interfering in government matters.

"I agree with you. Moreover, Puig's intention is very obvious. He wants to weaken the Nine Region Empire's strength. If we really kill Gu Changqing, who poses the greatest threat to them, they'll become the overlord of the world," Huang Mengguo said.

Xuanyuan Wangrui said, looking ashamed, "I was too narrow-minded."

"Contact Gu Changqing," Huang Mengguo said in a low voice, "Even if we refuse Puig, for the sake of power, Puig might take action against Gu Changqing."

"Alright, I'll contact him now," Xuanyuan Wangrui said with a nod before calling Gu Changqing on the satellite phone.

…

At almost 7 PM.

The sky was dark, and in a rundown city, the roars of mutant beasts rang unceasingly.

The towering ancient trees with vines around them covered the sky as they absorbed the essence of the blood moon.

Inside the city, two 600-meter-tall pandas were hunting mutant beasts to evolve. They were well-protected national treasures in the past, but now they were the guardians of the Nine Region Empire.

The city under the protection of the nuclear fusion net was relatively calm and peaceful, but outside, many mutant beasts were prowling around. They were also killing and devouring each other to evolve.

Roar!

At this moment, a demi dragon's roar resounded on Mount Kunlun. Clearly, the golden banded krait had successfully evolved into a demi dragon.

Gu Changqing was not in a hurry to kill the demi dragon because he wanted to wait until it evolved into a dragon. He planned to catch it and use it as a mount.

Roar!

…

Longjiang International Airport.

Zhang Hu had hired many ordinary people to move the supplies, but they still had yet to finish moving the supplies.

At this moment, a figure that blended with the night stood on the control tower.

No one, not even Zhang Hu, was aware of the figure's presence.

At this moment, a large private plane slowly landed on the runway under the guidance of the control tower.

When the shadowy figure on the control tower saw this, black fog surged slightly.

When the plane came to a stop, the cabin door opened, and a group of people walked out.

The three men in the lead were dressed in suits. They looked to be in their thirties, and they all possessed an extraordinary bearing.

Su Ge looked at the bustling airport and frowned. "Why are there so many large cargo planes?"

They were thinking of secretly transporting the nuclear bombs out, after all.

"It doesn't matter. No one knows we have three large nuclear bombs on our planes," Situ Hao laughed coldly and said, "We'll be able to enjoy grand fireworks soon. There's no rush."

Chu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. There's no rush."

The trio was obviously unaware that their companies had changed hands and were rather carefree. They ordered two men to guard the plane and planned to leave for a meal. However, they had just taken a few steps forward when…

Buzz!

A sinister black fog suddenly swept over the trio before solidifying into a person dressed in a black robe and mask.

"Huh?"

Su Ge and the others looked at the figure in front of them that emitted heavy pressure.

Su Ge's expression changed slightly as he asked, "May I ask who you are? Why are you blocking our way?"

Buzz!

Chimei Wangliang did not speak. His black robe fluttered in the wind as the black fog rolled out. It was like the abyss as it shrouded everyone, including the two who were ordered to guard the plane.

Su Ge, Chu Yuan, and Situ Hao, who were at the peak of the fifth rank, were devoured by the black fog before they could even react.

After restraining them, Chimei Wangliang turned into black fog again and disappeared into the night in just a blink of an eye.

During the entire process, the people transporting supplies not too far away did not notice anything at all.

Chimei Wangliang left as quietly as he had come.

…

In the western suburbs.

The Demon Alliance Base was brightly lit.

The workers usually got off work around this time. They worked from 8 AM to 8 PM. After dinner, they would go to the park and chat or play with their phones. In this era, this could be considered a very comfortable life.

At this time, there were still cars pulling in and out of the base. The people in the cars were either returning from a mission or going out for a mission.

Swoosh!

At this moment, black fog surged in from outside the nuclear fusion net. Within a few breaths, it entered the main building in the base.

Gu Changqing was chatting with Athena about current affairs when the black fog appeared.

When Chimei Wangliang appeared, he had eight balls of fog trailing behind him, which were Su Ge and the others. He released Su Ge and the others and dumped them on the ground before he left without saying a word.

"No, no! Stop absorbing my life!"

The people on the ground had very sallow skin and were very skinny. Their vitality had been absorbed by Chimei Wangliang. They tried to get up, but they could not even stand properly. When they calmed down and looked around, they saw the man sitting on the couch and looking at them mockingly.

Needless to say, Su Ge, Chu Yuan, and Situ Hao were scared out of their wits.

Su Ge forced himself to stand up and feigned a puzzled expression on his face as he asked, "B-boss Gu, you… Why did you capture us?"

"You should know very well why I brought you here. Planning to bomb me? Are you worthy?" Gu Changqing said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Upon hearing these words, everyone froze as chills ran up their spines.

Chu Yuan hurriedly said, "Boss Gu, how could we dare to do such a thing? The nuclear bombs we bought from Y Country are for the mutant beasts! We never thought of using them against you at all!"

Situ Hao and Su Ge quickly nodded in unison.

"That's right! Even if we're given the courage, we still wouldn't dare to go against you."
