Vibranium Mines Have Always Belonged to S.P.E.A.R.!

T'Chaka woke up completely disoriented.

Hadn't he just finished dealing with some cultists, then boarded his private jet, and was on his way home?

Glancing around, he confirmed it was indeed his royal palace.

"Oh, so I'm already back..." T'Chaka, still dazed, suddenly narrowed his eyes, finally recalling what happened the moment he boarded the plane: "No, someone knocked me out!"

He then discovered he was bound by iron chains, with his unconscious daughter to his left and his wife, who had just fallen asleep, to his right.

"Awake?" A cold voice reached his ears. "You're the best quality among this group."

Following the sound, T'Chaka saw a black metal mask with three white crescent moons – two small and one large – forming an exaggerated smiling face.

He couldn't see the person's eyes or mouth, but he could clearly hear the voice, neither deep nor high, yet carrying an unshakeable coldness.

"Who are you people?"

T'Chaka realized he was in the main hall of the Wakandan royal palace, but surrounded by a group of guards in red uniforms. Their formation was strict, clearly indicating they were elites.

"Don't rush. I don't want to repeat myself. I'll introduce myself after your son and the leaders of the five tribes have all arrived." Lin Hao turned around and began examining the palace's interior decorations.

After capturing Queen Ramonda, Lin Hao immediately rushed to Shuri's laboratory. He spent some time breaking through Wakanda's central control system and subsequently took over the defense of the entire capital city.

The shield was recharged and restored to its original, primitive grassland camouflage.

Next, he remotely commanded Wakanda's near-orbit satellites to emit interference signals, temporarily paralyzing foreign satellites operating over Wakanda at that time. This ensured that even if any foreign satellites happened to capture footage of the battle, it would be transmitted as if due to a malfunction.

The universe was full of various radiations, so satellite interference or even destruction was a normal phenomenon.

Moreover, during this period, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Black Nick Fury" was likely already heading to Los Angeles to investigate the cause of the "mushroom cloud" incident at the Los Angeles branch, and would be unable to attend to other matters for the time being.

Lin Hao had used this precise moment to quietly occupy Wakanda.

Wakanda had a small population and an even smaller army. Throughout the entire nation, apart from the successive "Black Panthers" who were superhumans after consuming the Heart-Shaped Herb, only the Jabari Tribe leader M'Baku possessed the Gorilla Strength granted by the White Ape. Everyone else was an ordinary person, relying on Vibranium weapons to assert their dominance.

S.P.E.A.R. officially had 150,000 agents. The 10,000 elite agents brought out by Zheng Xian had all practiced the basic internal energy cultivation methods deduced by Lin Hao. Those who had cultivated for over five years possessed speed and strength comparable to the Black Panther without the Vibranium suit.

Five thousand people were dispatched to capture the leaders of the five tribes, three thousand were responsible for suppressing the Wakandan capital, and the remaining two thousand remained on duty at the circular fortress.

T'Challa, who had left the royal palace, was escorted by the accompanying royal guard to the River Tribe by the Amas River. This tribe was the most loyal to the Wakandan royal family, and its chief's daughter, Nakia, was T'Challa's girlfriend.

Unfortunately, S.P.E.A.R. agents, riding hover tanks, arrived first.

A Level 7 S.P.E.A.R. agent pointed at T'Challa and the royal guards galloping on horseback on the grassland below and said, "Old Li, I'll take ten people down to capture T'Challa. You continue to the River Tribe."

"Are ten people enough?" his colleague chuckled. "Be careful they don't beat you down, and then you'll have to wait for me to come back and save you."

"Are you kidding me? Do you think my internal energy is for nothing?" After speaking, he mounted a flying motorcycle with ten subordinates and charged down.

The battle was not suspenseful. T'Challa was in a hurry and hadn't brought his Vibranium suit. Relying solely on his martial arts skills, he couldn't withstand eleven S.P.E.A.R. agents who had cultivated internal energy.

After capturing T'Challa and the royal guards, they waited at the scene for a while. Soon, they saw their colleagues returning with the leader of the River Tribe.

The five teams reported victories. Except for the Jabari Tribe on the snowy mountains and the Border Tribe, which managed the border defenses, bringing some losses to S.P.E.A.R., the other three tribes were captured almost effortlessly.

After capturing the leaders of the five tribes, the five teams dispatched by Lin Hao quickly returned to the Wakandan capital without engaging in prolonged combat.

This led to the people of the five tribes, upon seeing their leaders captured, immediately pursuing them spontaneously, with five pillars of smoke rising from the grasslands.

Seeing the enemy taking their leaders to the capital, the leaders of the five tribes all stopped momentarily before the capital's shield. They thought of many things; some believed their country was under attack, while others thought the royal family intended to eliminate the five tribes and consolidate power.

But with their leaders taken away, they couldn't stand idly by. If morale collapsed, it would be difficult to lead the troops.

"I'll take half the people in. You all retreat. If we don't return before nightfall, immediately return to your tribes."

The people of the five tribes took almost identical actions, even the River Tribe, which was the most loyal to the royal family, was no exception.

Wakanda's various tribes had warred with each other for over a thousand years in ancient times. It wasn't until the appearance of the first "Black Panther" that they were forcibly integrated, forming the nation of Wakanda.

Unfortunately, this nation had never been truly unified. Each tribe held a portion of the power. The main military power was held by the Border Tribe, the most important Vibranium mines were exploited by the Mining Tribe, yet the wealthiest, controlling the nation's finances, was the Merchant Tribe. Furthermore, there was a "Gorilla Tribe" that obeyed orders only when convenient, and its leader was a powerhouse second only to the "Black Panther."

To be fair, this organizational model was only favored by descendants of Europe after the Roman Empire, who had no great unified empire.

If such a country existed in East Asia, a crucible of flesh and blood, it would have been fighting like dogs and then destroyed by enemies. Could it expect peaceful succession for thousands of years?

After half of the people from the five tribes entered the capital, Lin Hao completely sealed the shield. The S.P.E.A.R. agents who had been waiting for a long time then converged with the "Peacekeepers" to forcibly disarm these individuals.

In the royal palace hall, the five leaders saw the entire royal family neatly assembled, and their psychological burden suddenly felt balanced.

Good, at least they weren't the only ones having a bad day.

"Everyone is here. I have an announcement for you," Lin Hao's indifferent voice reached the ears of every Wakandan high-ranking official. "We, S.P.E.A.R., are reclaiming the Vibranium mines that have belonged to us since ancient times."

"Absurd!"

"Ridiculous!"

"The Vibranium mines clearly belong to Wakanda. When did they become S.P.E.A.R.'s?"

"What is S.P.E.A.R.? We've never even heard of it."

The leaders of the Mining Tribe and the Merchant Tribe were the first to jump out. Their sources of wealth depended entirely on the Vibranium mines.

Looking at the situation, the entire country had been taken down in one fell swoop. The other party must have discovered the true reserves of Vibranium. To deny it now would be self-inflicted humiliation.

T'Chaka remained silent with a stern face, because he knew what kind of organization S.P.E.A.R. was. Through the historical records of Wakanda, he even knew that S.P.E.A.R. was a long-standing organization.

Prince T'Challa, however, was still under the shadow of being easily defeated by the S.P.E.A.R. agents.

He couldn't understand why he, having consumed the Heart-Shaped Herb, was so easily defeated by the opponent. Wasn't the Heart-Shaped Herb a divine gift from the Black Panther God? Wasn't it a divine artifact possessed only by the noble Wakanda?

He couldn't win without it, and he still lost after eating it. Hadn't he eaten the Heart-Shaped Herb for nothing?

T'Challa, who was only a teenager at this time, was still a youth and took success and failure very seriously.

M'Baku, the leader of the Jabari Tribe, was also silent. He was also very young and had been easily defeated by the enemy just moments ago.

The leader of the River Tribe, holding his daughter Nakia, carefully observed the situation. He occasionally glanced at T'Challa, then at Lin Hao, who was wearing a metal mask, contemplating to whom he should offer his daughter to best preserve the interests of the River Tribe in the future.

"Let me tell you a story. About four thousand years ago, in 2620 BC, the world's first empire appeared in your north..."
