The Spear Comes!

"Little brat, I don't recall having any agreement with the Antarctic Immortal Elder..."

A faint voice echoed from the depths of his soul.

Without a word, Lin Hao looked up and shouted at the sky, "Spear, come!"

The Ring Fortress floating in the air immediately opened a hatch, and a golden spear descended from the sky. It pierced the dome of the Wakandan royal palace as if slicing through tofu and embedded itself in the floor in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao rushed forward at top speed, drew the golden spear, and flicked a dazzling golden spear flower towards the phantom of the Black Panther Goddess.

The Black Panther phantom at the palace entrance paused, its eyes staring blankly at the spear in Lin Hao's hand.

The spearhead was shaped like an eagle's wing, and the entire thing was forged from an unknown alloy. In Lin Hao's hand, it emitted a faint golden light.

The golden light was brilliant and radiated divine power.

The Black Panther Goddess felt a strong threat from the spear.

This was a divine artifact capable of killing the Zerg Mother Nest and the Celestial race.

"You are the Black Panther Goddess, aren't you?" Lin Hao held the spear, his heart calm, and asked with a smile, "I didn't hear what you said just now clearly, could you say it again?"

"..."

The Black Panther Goddess was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "I did have an agreement with the Immortal Elder that the Vibranium mine would be jointly developed by both parties."

The Wakandan high-ranking officials were in dead silence.

So, their great Black Panther Goddess also knew when to back down.

"See, I told you the Vibranium mine has belonged to our S.P.E.A.R. since ancient times." Lin Hao looked around. The Wakandan high-ranking officials were speechless.

"In front of Her Majesty the Goddess, would I lie?"

Lin Hao, holding the Holy Spear and occasionally flashing a ball of golden light, spoke to himself, "I've been thinking, and an equal split isn't fair."

"You've been mining it alone for a full two thousand years without contacting us. How great are our losses?"

"However, we are a civilized nation. What's past is past, and we won't dwell on it. But for the next hundred years, the Vibranium mine will be solely mined by us. After a hundred years, we will resume joint development."

"A hundred years for two thousand years is indeed a bit of a loss, but we accept it!"

Lin Hao's tone was filled with a grudging magnanimity, as if he were sacrificing something.

Then, he flicked another spear flower, looking proudly at everyone, "I've said my piece. Who agrees? Who opposes?"

The Black Panther Goddess didn't bother to respond and issued an order to the Wakandan high-ranking officials herself, "From this day forward, T'Chaka is stripped of the title 'Black Panther,' and his son, T'Challa, shall inherit it."

Originally, the Black Panther Goddess had intended to find another royal family, but the other five major tribes were all incompetent.

M'Baku, the leader of the Jabari tribe, was decent, but that kid had gone and started worshipping the White Ape and gained the power of a gorilla, clearly intending to create a new Wakanda. She wouldn't choose him under any circumstances.

After speaking, the Black Panther phantom disappeared.

Her strength and lifespan did not come from alien substances like Vibranium. As long as her believers were unharmed, Vibranium was no different from ordinary stone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

All the Wakandan high-ranking officials, including T'Chaka, knelt respectfully in the direction the Black Panther Goddess had left.

As soon as the Black Panther Goddess left, a pre-arranged S.P.E.A.R. agent rushed over to report, "Officer, radar detected a spaceship flying at high speed. It's the Director's vehicle."

"Oh no, they found us so quickly," Lin Hao exclaimed dramatically.

"What should we do?" The subordinate's expression was even more exaggerated, showing no trace of nervousness. "Will the Director punish us?"

"Don't worry, I'll take all the blame!" Lin Hao patted his chest and declared.

The four young people, Shuri, T'Challa, M'Baku, and Nakia, all showed expectant expressions, hoping the leader of this great devil would come and punish him, bringing justice back to Wakanda.

The remaining old foxes were all rolling their eyes.

Could a subordinate unilaterally deploy a war machine like the Ring Fortress without superior approval?

Could a divine artifact preserved for two thousand years be casually brought out without the leader's permission?

This kind of childish act, who were they trying to fool?

Soon, Zheng Xian arrived at the royal palace hall. As soon as he entered, he immediately berated Lin Hao, "You're lawless, disorganized, and undisciplined! Are you trying to rebel?"

"Guards, take him to the confinement room and make him reflect properly."

Lin Hao obediently cooperated, lowering his head as he left with a squad of agents.

After the scolding, Zheng Xian quickly walked up to T'Chaka and personally unlocked his chains. He said kindly, "Your Majesty, it is my failure to discipline my subordinates that has caused you to suffer."

"I apologize. I am no longer the King of Wakanda. The Goddess herself decreed that my son shall succeed as King." T'Chaka pushed his son, T'Challa, forward. "You can discuss the rest with him."

"Father, I..." T'Challa's face was full of anxiety.

He was still a child, he didn't understand these things!

"Don't be afraid. The Goddess herself acknowledged that the Vibranium mine would be jointly developed by both parties, and I also think the proposal from that gentleman earlier was very reasonable." T'Chaka gritted his teeth inwardly but maintained a calm expression outwardly. "We have mined it alone for two thousand years, and we should indeed offer some compensation."

"Oh..." T'Challa understood.

Even though this leader was all smiles now, they actually had no room to negotiate.

Zheng Xian chuckled, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Then please have both sides send representatives to discuss the specific development agreement."

While it was termed a discussion, the agreement was already prepared.

For Wakanda, there were only two options: consent or refusal... no, there was only one choice: consent.

They finally understood how Minister Li felt back in the day.

Since the Black Panther Goddess had backed down, what else could they do?

"Very good, very good. From now on, both sides will set aside disputes and jointly develop," Zheng Xian said with a beaming smile, putting away the signed agreement.

"There are no disputes..." the new King of Wakanda, T'Challa, rumbled.

"Then let us coexist peacefully and mutually benefit," Zheng Xian, whose diplomatic skills were superb, was not fazed by this minor situation. He further proposed, "From now on, both sides can engage in in-depth cooperation in more fields, developing and progressing together, contributing to the upgrade of human civilization."

After the agreement was signed, S.P.E.A.R.'s elite agents were stationed in Wakanda.

Two thousand agents who had successfully cultivated internal energy, along with one hundred "Pacifiers" and three aerospace battleships that were successively deployed, cordoned off the entire Vibranium mining area.

The "Peacekeeping Detachment" would not interfere with the normal lives of the Wakandans. They would build a high wall to enclose the mining area, and only after a hundred years would Wakandans be allowed to enter again. As for how much Vibranium would remain after a hundred years... that was unclear.

Throughout the entire handover process, the Wakandans remained very calm.

This was a monarchy where the king's authority was believed to be granted by God. Since the Black Panther Goddess, their supreme deity, had agreed, and the high-ranking officials had no objections, the ordinary citizens naturally had none either.

As the saying goes, they had barely consumed any of the Vibranium they had mined over the past few millennia. Their existing reserves were sufficient for their normal usage and annual trade, so it would not impact their lives.

After securing the Vibranium mine, Lin Hao returned to the Ring Fortress and inquired about Ivan's condition. "Is his injury serious?"

"He's getting on in years and needs a period of rest," Zheng Xian said, fiddling with his beloved orchids in his office, carefully wiping them with a gentle touch, as if tending to a lover.

With the Vibranium mine secured, Zheng Xian was in a very good mood. S.P.E.A.R.'s strength would increase significantly.

"Has he been internally audited?" Lin Hao asked again. "Is he clean?"

"Yes," Zheng Xian shook his head.

"Then how was the bar exposed?" This was a point of confusion for Lin Hao that he still couldn't figure out.
