9:00 AM, in room 1004.
Jiangnan was sitting on the sofa, resting with her eyes closed.
So much has happened in the last two days.
Even he felt exhausted from the series of intense battles and time-space maneuvers.
At the same time, he also received a message that had just come from outside...
Bad news?
Jiangnan himself wasn't sure whether this was a good thing or not.
Zhang Lingqi killed Dorothy with a single strike in the forest, successfully obtaining the crucial Death God Sequence.
He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the top-secret document about Zhang Lingqi on the table.
The document clearly records the other party's known Supernatural Ability.
Sequence 018 [Black Crow Messenger]
Sequence 032 [The Executioner]
Sequence 049 [Death Declaration]
Sequence 087 [Command the Dead]
In addition, there's the newly acquired Sequence 095 [Agent of Death]...
That's a full five!
"But there are definitely more than just these five."
Jiangnan stroked his chin, secretly speculating.
Based on the other party's bizarre, precognitive behavior, as if they were reborn.
Zhang Lingqi likely possesses a time-space Supernatural Ability that could involve rewinding or precognition.
"No wonder he's so hard to catch... This guy is practically a real Grim Reaper."
Just then, the holographic Main Control Panel inside the room suddenly lit up, and Berris's clip-on voice came through.
"Hey! Thunder Living Person, when are we leaving?!"
"Berris can't wait to crush those disgusting monsters!"
Jiangnan got up and walked over, quickly typing a reply on the keyboard.
How did you get in?
Berris's holographic face appeared on the screen, and she gave a smug hum.
"This is Berris's Supernatural Ability sequence 002 [Genesis]!"
"Now Berris is like an electronic ghost; as long as there's a network cable and electrical circuit, where can't it go?"
"Tell me quickly, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Jiangnan continued typing:
[Waiting. There are still some concerns that need to be addressed.]
[If you're really in a hurry, you can go back to the Eagle Country base and have a heart-to-heart talk with your grandfather. I'm not that petty.]
Berris paused, staring at the screen with suspicion.
"Are you sure? Aren't you afraid that Berris will take this opportunity to run away and never come back?"
Jiangnan typed a reply with a blank expression.
I have never restricted your personal freedom.
[Because all I want is the Machine God.]
After reading this line, Berris on the screen was so angry that she punched herself and cursed loudly.
"You Thunder Living Person! A snob! A deadpan character!"
"In your eyes, is Berris completely worthless compared to First Unit?!"
Jiangnan did not type a reply.
Clearly, he acquiesced.
His brain's social instincts told him that he should say something insincere to appease the girl.
But his principles stopped him.
From a rational perspective...
A Unit-01 with combat power approaching that of Quasi-God -First Unit is indeed far more valuable than a loud, boisterous young Yellow Hair.
Receiving no response, Berris became even angrier.
"You blockhead! You stinky straight man! Berris's gone, I'm going to find Old Deng now! I'll come back and deal with you later!"
The screen went black, Berris's data stream disappeared.
Jiangnan simply shrugged, indicating that they would see.
Clearly, she herself was reluctant to part with that Machine God, otherwise why would she have added, "[I'll be back later]" at the end?
At this moment, Chen Tong, who was also sitting in the room, couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Jiangnan's smooth and effortless maneuver.
How come I didn't notice that before?
Chen Tong mentally ranted, "No wonder Jiangnan is so powerful, yet his harem expansion is so slow."
"Turns out he's a complete straight man, it's just that his decisiveness usually masks that fact."
"This kind of stubborn personality is only found in women who are proactive and have a thick skin."
"So that I can get close to him, right?"
Just as she thought of this, Chen Tong suddenly froze.
"Etc..."
Isn't this just insulting myself?
But thinking about it, it makes sense; I do have a pretty thick skin.
After all, she was a classic case of an older woman dating a younger man; not only was she much older than Jiangnan, but she had also been his teacher.
Just as a sense of immorality began to rise in Chen Tong's heart...
"Beep beep."
The Main Control Panel lit up again, this time with an encrypted communication from Shen Lian.
"Mr. Dragon God, someone has come looking for Miss Chen Tong and Miss Piano outside the camp."
"It seems... to be their father."
Jiangnan relayed the news to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tong's eyes immediately reddened.
She had a very deep relationship with her father Chen Jingmo, and was delighted to learn that he was still alive.
He even came to the Weird Island to find her, deeply moved.
Piano, who came upon hearing the commotion, raised an eyebrow.
Her relationship with her irresponsible father, Pier Casson.
They're like sworn enemies, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.
However, upon hearing that the other party had actually turned his life around and become the deputy base commander of France Country...
She gave a cold laugh and decided to go see him.
A few minutes later, on the outskirts of the camp.
A conspiracy to divide the Dragon God's legacy is quietly unfolding amidst the undercurrents of several factions.
Chen Qing and Chen Menghua of the Chen Family disguised themselves using extremely clever special props and blended into the crowd.
Their purpose is clear.
United with the France Country, they'll directly devour the Dragon God's extant offspring!
On the France Country, Base Commander Mark, former Deputy Base Commander Chris, and current Deputy Base Commander Pier Casson were all present.
Under the guise of a family visit, they attempted to forcibly take Chen Tong and Piano away.
They also took the opportunity to steal the treasures and supplies inside the RV!
Upon meeting, the two sides first engaged in insincere reminiscing.
Chen Tong and Chen Jingmo looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry for each other's safety.
The outskirts of the camp.
Chen Tong looked at Chen Jingmo, who appeared travel-worn, and went to greet him with eyes full of worry.
"Dad! Are you alright? I'll never see you again!"
Chen Jingmo's expression was complicated, his eyes darting around, unable to look his daughter in the eye.
"Tongtong... Dad's alright."
"Dad was just... worried about you, so he came to check on you."
On the other hand, the style is completely different.
Piano walked up to Pier Casson and reached into his pocket.
"Hey, Old Deng! I heard you've turned your fortunes around and become the deputy base commander in France Country?"
"Hurry up, how much hard currency are you carrying? Hand it all over to me!"
"And while you're at it, shine my shoes, to make up for the emotional damage I suffered from being imprisoned for so many years!"
Pier Casson clutched his pocket tightly, cursing under his breath.
"You bastard! I came all this way to see you, and you just took all my gold coins?"
"You dare to defy the Heavenly Gang and expect me to shine your shoes?!"
However, this seemingly heartwarming moment lasted only two minutes.
Mark, the France Country base commander, stepped forward and coldly interrupted them.
Alright, that's enough of our reminiscing.
"Piano, Chen Tong, pack your things immediately and come back with us to the France Country and the Chen Family's camp."
"I won't leave."
Without a second thought, Chen Tong refused outright, "This is the Dragon God's camp, and it's also my home."
Piano rolled his eyes dramatically. "Don't give me that!"
"I'm living the high life here, why would I go back to you guys and starve? Are you crazy?!"
Rejected, Chen Qing Qinghong, disguised as a follower, took a step forward.
"How dare you! The Chen Family is not for a little girl like you to make decisions!"
"You're leaving today, whether you like it or not, we'll take you away!"
Chen Menghua, who was standing nearby, also moved closer.
"Little Tongtong, don't be stubborn and end up suffering the consequences."
"Be a good boy and come back to the Lineage with me, and I promise you'll live a life of luxury from now on."
Why stay in a camp of dead men and live like a widow?
Mark also tore off his mask of hypocrisy, threatening Piano with a cold laugh.
"Miss Piano, you'd better be sensible."
"You don't want your father either..."
"You finally got the deputy base commander position, and now it's all gone because of your willfulness, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tong and Piano finally understood.
Jiangnan faked his death to lure out all these opportunistic wolves!
Chen Tong grabbed Chen Jingmo's sleeve urgently.
"Dad! Don't get involved with them, this is too dangerous, you should leave!"
She knew the cruelty of Jiangnan and was also aware that the other side would not let the enemy go.
Even if this enemy is her father...
Chen Jingmo looked conflicted, his lips moved but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
And at this tense moment...
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Pier Casson strode directly to the Dragon God's side, spitting a thick wad of phlegm at Mark's feet!
"Pier Casson! Are you insane?!"
Mark was furious.
You're the one who's crazy!
Pier Casson pointed at Mark's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.
"You bunch of brainless French pigs, do you really think I'm an idiot?!"
"I was only pretending to agree to your requests from the very beginning!"
"You guys would be so kind as to give me the position of deputy base commander?"
"Wait until you've eaten all of the Dragon God's last remaining offspring and used me up!"
"You'll just turn around and throw me back into that prison!"
"I'd rather shine my daughter's shoes than work for your Brother Dao!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Piano, standing behind him, clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "I knew it!"
"How could you, you old bastard, possibly have become the base commander!"
"You offended so many people in the capital back then, didn't they just tie you up and sell you off as Star Fury?"
"You must have had a stroke of good luck from your ancestors!"
Enraged that their plot had been exposed, Mark and Chris immediately drew their weapons.
"Pier Casson, you've committed treason!"
"I am arresting you now as a criminal! This is an internal affair of France Country, and no one has the right to interfere!"
Chen Qing and Chen Menghua immediately followed suit, their bodies radiating murderous intent as they approached Chen Tong.
"That's right! This is also an internal matter for our Chen Family to clean house!"
Chen Jingmo was shocked and quickly spread his arms to shield his daughter.
"Uncle! Meng Hua! You can't touch Tong Tong!"
"Get out of here! You cowardly piece of trash!"
Chen Menghua showed no mercy and pushed Chen Jingmo down into the mud.
"With such a soft heart, you don't deserve to be a member of the Chen Family!"
"This is none of your business, get out of here!"
Chen Jingmo scrambled to his feet, looking at his daughter's disappointed eyes.
He closed his eyes in anguish, turned and silently left the crowd.
The argument lasted a full three minutes...
"Ultimatum!"
Chen Qing and Base Chief Mark stared at the group of people in front of the RV and shouted angrily.
"Are you leaving or not?! If not, don't blame us for using force!"
However.
Just as everyone drew their weapons, preparing to forcibly arrest the person.
"Click, click."
A clatter of military boots followed, accompanied by an approaching murderous aura.
"Because this concerns the Dragon God's family, I, Lin Bayi, am determined to handle this matter."
Lin Bayi, captain of the Huaxia Denglong Team, holds the rank of General.
He personally arrived at the scene with a squad of soldiers!
"Everyone, lay down your weapons immediately and accept arrest!"
Upon seeing this, Base Commander Mark, far from being afraid, instead sneered and threatened.
"Captain Lin, do you want to cause an international dispute?"
"You'd better think carefully about the consequences of offending France Country for the sake of a few families of the dead!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bayi not only wasn't angry, but instead grinned.
Having experienced a century of warfare, how could he, as a general of China, not see through such tricks?
He knew better than anyone that this was a sting operation.
The Dragon God is not dead at all!
Lin Bayi ignored Mark's shouts and turned around.
Facing the closed RV, he bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture.
"Mr. Dragon God, haven't you had enough of the show?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Boom!"
The RV's door was blasted open!
Jiangnan made no attempt to hide anything, because the fish he wanted had already jumped into his net on their own.
The moment I saw that God of Slaughter, who should have died at the bottom of the sea, emerge with an overwhelming aura...
The France Country people and the two members of the Chen Family were almost scared to death on the spot!
"Dragon... Dragon God?! You're not dead?!"
There's not a single wasted word in Jiangnan.
He raised his hand, his five fingers slightly clenched forward:
"A moment is eternity!"
"The universe is the end!"
"Click-clack-click-clack!"
The extreme cold erupted, and Mark and Chris didn't even have time to speak.
They were frozen into two statues by the black Profound Ice!
Jiangnan turned his head and his gaze fell on Chen Menghua and Chen Qing.
The two were terrified.
"Dragon God, spare us! We are Chen Tong's elders!"
"Please spare our lives, for we're all family!"
But at that moment, Lin Bayi spoke again, his voice filled with murderous intent.
Stop pretending.
"You are not ordinary family members at all."
"Chen Qing, the patriarch of the Chen Family, and Chen Menghua, the eldest son of the Chen Family!"
"You two have long since betrayed your country and the beliefs of China!"
"Today, I will avenge those compatriots you harmed, paying with their blood!"
"Clang!"
Lin Bayi drew the large sword from his back, his killing intent soaring to the heavens!
Chen Qing was shocked. "Impossible!! How did you know?!"
"We clearly used props to conceal our true appearance; there's no way anyone could See Through!"
Just then...
A guilty voice rang out from the rain not far away.
"I said it."
Everyone turned to look.
Chen Jingmo, who had returned, was standing in the middle of a group of heavily armed China soldiers.
But the difference is that he is now handcuffed.
"Dad..."
Chen Tong looked at her father, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Jingmo's eyes were red as he looked at his daughter across the crowd and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Tongtong... I'm not a good father."
"Initially, it was for that Void and elusive Lineage honor."
"I actually agreed to their idea of eating the children of the destitute, and even used my connections to help them infiltrate the Weird Island."
"But..."
"When I saw the look in your eyes, when I saw that even Gambler like Pier Casson could have a change of heart for his daughter..."
"I finally realize how terribly wrong I was."
Chen Jingmo straightened up and looked at Chen Qing, who was kneeling on the ground.
"It's not too late to pull back from the brink."
"Faced with a corrupt Lineage and his only daughter..."
I chose the latter.
"Just now..."
"I personally reported all your deceptions and treasonous plans to China!"
Chen Jingmo gave a bitter smile, "You two, may you have a safe journey to the Yellow Springs!"
