"Rabbit's Mechs?"

"Black Technology - Mechs!"

"Exoskeleton Armor is here, how far are Gundams?"

"Back then, everyone was bragging, but the Rabbit actually believed it!"

"On the Threat of the Rabbit"

"On the Weapon Possibilities of Mechs"

The military exhibition continued in full swing.

Meanwhile, outside the exhibition, after the opening speech, various headlines began to appear.

At first, some curious onlookers thought they were clickbait.

But when they clicked in and saw that there was evidence to support the claims, they were all astonished.

This time, the discussion was nearly global.

Everyone took sides, whether it was solo combat, team coordination, deep penetration into enemy territory, or luring the enemy in.

At the same time, this discussion allowed everyone to witness two mysterious teams hidden by the Rabbit: Jian Xian and the War Propaganda Bureau!

Initially, people thought Jian Xian was like a sword immortal, but later they realized they were "jerk immortals"!

They could cause the intelligence of their opponents to plummet drastically, ultimately leading them to become enraged, lose all mental control, and fall into madness.

Without exception, none could escape; it was terrifying!

As for the War Propaganda Bureau, people didn't know much about them. The only thing they knew was that this organization seemed to be related to a secret agreement from '99. The organization's members would appear and disappear, making them exceptionally mysterious.

A mysterious, ancient photo even circulated online: a photo of a Gundam standing majestically on the earth.

Along with it, a saying spread: "It's not that our army is incompetent, but the Rabbit has Gundams!"

They didn't believe it at first, but now that mechs had appeared, it seemed that the appearance of Gundams wasn't entirely impossible...

And so, while the outside world was in an uproar, the people in charge passed the week in unusual harmony, and the military exhibition finally concluded.

The topic of the military exhibition gradually faded from public interest.

Time eroded everyone's curiosity, and the onlookers calmed down once more, returning to their ordinary, peaceful lives.

However, some things were bound to happen.

Three months after the military exhibition ended, at a port on a certain small island nation.

A man in a black suit, holding a small black cat, stood quietly on a high vantage point, looking down at the bustling laborers below.

Not far away, a scrawny East Asian man, a tall White man, and a mixed-race beauty walked up behind the man holding the black cat.

"BOSS." x3

The three respectfully called out from behind him.

"Hell Butterfly, Scorpion, Old Man, you're here."

"Leader, why did you suddenly summon us?"

Hell Butterfly, the mixed-race beauty, took a step forward, gazing affectionately at the leader's back, and asked softly.

"There's a job worth 1 billion Shadiao Coins in the underworld, you guys didn't take it, did you?"

"Hahahaha~ Leader, you wouldn't have summoned us for this, would you?"

Old Man, the White man, first laughed heartily, then said dismissively, "This job is too easy to make money!

Go to the Rabbit's border and get one of their Border Guardian mechs.

Just the Rabbit's boy scouts, I..."

The leader impatiently interrupted Old Man. His originally gentle and refined demeanor turned chilling and sinister, his tone sending shivers down one's spine: "I asked if you took it!"

"No." x2

Scorpion and Hell Butterfly replied as if nothing had happened.

The White man, however, shivered and said cautiously, "Except for that coward Scorpion, nine out of the top ten mercenary groups have accepted it..."

"So you took it!?"

The leader turned around, scrutinizing Old Man with an unreadable gaze.

Under the leader's stare, sweat streamed down Old Man's face uncontrollably.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, the atmosphere becoming somewhat eerie.

After a long while, the leader suddenly spoke, "Then proceed with your plan and go.

Scorpion, Hell Butterfly, you two stay."

Old Man trembled and quickly explained, "Leader, it's for K2's own good. A 1 billion job, and the work is easy and simple, I..."

"Get down, I don't want to repeat myself."

The leader interrupted Old Man again, looking at him with cold eyes. "Since you accepted it, you must carry it out even if you lose your life.

K2's reputation cannot be tarnished by you!"

Old Man hesitated upon hearing this, then finally lowered his head and left dejectedly.

However, after leaving, he couldn't help but turn his head and look deeply in the leader's direction.

It wasn't hatred or disdain, but worry: it seemed this 1 billion deal wouldn't be easy to earn!

Besides, they weren't going into the rabbit's den, just trimming the grass around the edges…

"It was right for you not to accept."

The leader watched Old Man leave, sighed, and said faintly, "Don't provoke the rabbits for now, it's not worth it.

If you must go, then don't use K2's name!"

Then, the leader looked at the two people who remained and instructed, "Gather some people and wait for me at the Lion-Man's place first.

I need to confirm something, and if it's true…

1 billion?

Hmph~"

After giving the instructions, the leader turned and continued to look at the scenery.

Hell Butterfly and Scorpion silently retreated.

"Black Cat."

Not long after Hell Butterfly and Scorpion left, a yellow-skinned man appeared from nowhere.

More importantly, he spoke the language of the rabbits, not the gibberish that the three of them spoke.

"Shadow, you're here."

Old Cat, the leader, looked at Sky Wolf who was walking slowly towards him, a slight smile on his lips. "Is the mission complete?"

"Yes, it's complete.

This person's name is Hitachi, and he's the mech technician heading to the Dog Tycoon this time."

Shadow handed a photo to Black Cat.

It was a photo of a resolute man in casual clothes boarding a cargo ship.

"He will be traveling with the ship transporting the mechs. Based on the timeline, there should be about 27 days left."

"Mm."

Black Cat looked at Hitachi in the photo, then asked, "Are there any opportunities to strike during the sea transport?"

"No, there's an escort of warships the entire way…"

Shadow gave a wry smile. "Once they land, the Dog Tycoon also has a Special Operations Team providing full escort.

This is complete protection, making it very difficult to act…"

He paused, and Shadow hesitated before saying, "Black Cat, I suggest we don't get involved in this mess.

All the major powers are watching the underground world. Once we actually go and kidnap the technician the rabbits are sending to support the Dog Tycoon.

We'll be facing the unfathomable rabbits and the Dog Tycoon with his endless money…

Why bother?"

"Sigh!" Black Cat sighed and shook his head. "Once you're in this world, you can't control yourself. There's no other way."

Then, Black Cat seemed to think of something, his tone filled with loss, and he looked seriously at Shadow. "Shadow, no, Tian Yang, we came out of the orphanage together, were adopted together, joined the army together, and…

For this last mission, find out this person's whereabouts, and then retire.

Go back and be a normal person, while you're still not exposed!

Retire!"

Shadow looked at Black Cat, simply smiled slightly, and shook his head. "Forget it. If you go to hell, you'll have no one but me. Where will you get your intelligence personnel?

I can't beat you in playing the big picture, but can you play the big picture without me, your intelligence officer?"

"Mm!"

Seeing Shadow's expression, Black Cat finally nodded faintly.

As the wind blew past, a faint, half-audible phrase dissipated into the air: "I came into this world with nothing, and I roam freely between heaven and earth.

I leave this world with nothing, and I am at peace with heaven and earth."

Thank you to the great "Watching the World's Prosperity" for the 10,000 reward!!

This is the first time I've received such a large reward in my life, thank you!

Thank you to the great "Student Party Member" for the reward!
