When they found Azu, he was enjoying a rare father-son moment with a blond little boy.
"It seems you're doing quite well. This country has weakened because of your retaliation, while you're leisurely enjoying your father-son relationship."
Xu Yuantui descended from the sky with the Soldier Boy, and also glanced at Azu's son, Ryan.
This is Azu's son, born unexpectedly, who was only recently found by Azu. He possesses superpowers with even greater potential Azu.
"You... you, you've arrived."
Azu shielded his son behind him, then put on a professional smile.
"Relax, I'm not a bad person. I'm just here to ask you for what we agreed on before."
Xu Xuanpin waved her hand, indicating that she did not have much ill will towards Azu's son.
On the contrary, the Soldier Boy on the side looked at Azu and Ryan and vaguely felt that they were somewhat similar to himself.
However, he didn't care. As America's first successful superhuman, he knew all along that the government would use his genes to develop new superhumans.
It's quite obvious that these two people have this kind of relationship with him.
From some perspectives, the Soldier Boy is indeed a qualified soldier who will not be swayed by emotional entanglements.
Upon hearing Xu Yuantui's words, Azu breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly pulled his son and ran towards the house behind them.
"Please wait a moment, I've collected all the information and put it inside."
It's clear that Azu truly loves his son and doesn't want him to be in any danger.
A ruthless criminal with superpowers who kills without hesitation has tenderness only for himself and his blood relatives. It seems incongruous, but it is actually very much in line with human nature.
The Seed of Desire amplified all sorts of desires in Azu's heart, including his longing for family affection.
A guy who grew up without parents, friends, or companions, and was constantly tormented by various experiments, would do no less Azu when he learned that he had bloodline descendants.
To be honest, if most people had experienced what Azu went through, very few would have been as patient and normal as him.
At least when facing Ryan, Xu Yuantui could tell that the other party genuinely wanted to be a good father.
Soon, Azu came out of the house carrying a huge safe, with a chain in one hand.
A chain connected more than a dozen figures, all of whom were bound together with iron chains and handcuffs.
"Sir, all the written materials and computer files are here. I've collected everything I found from Vought Company and several secret military research institutes; it's all here."
Azu put down the safe, then obsequiously pulled the group of people bound by chains in front of him.
"And these are all experts in the field of Compound V, scientists from Vought Company and military bases who researched Compound V. Some of them died in battle. I have always treated these people very well."
A group of highly educated scientists trembled as they looked at Azu's fawning smile.
I also understood why this former representative of America's Homelander would betray us.
Clearly, this Asian-looking fellow bribed this America hero, leading him to betray his own country.
'What a shameless superpowered person, they have no backbone at all!'
Many people cursed Azu in their hearts, but on the surface they showed even more obsequious smiles to Xu Yuantui.
Only those who have value to others have the right to live; they also know why the other party is keeping them around.
Faced with life and death, no national or family interests matter as much as one's own. Besides, many of them only acquired America citizenship later and can't really be considered native citizens.
To be precise, the natives of this land are even rarer than giant pandas in the East, having been skinned and sold for bounty hundreds of years ago.
Xu Yuantui his hand and took a picture of the data on Compound V, glancing at it briefly to confirm its authenticity.
With a wave of his hand, everything was stored in a temporarily created alternate dimension.
For someone like him, this is nothing; it's just that living beings cannot be stored in another dimension.
"Very good, well done, Azu."
Xu Yuantui nodded, expressing his appreciation for Azu's actions, but immediately changed his tone.
"I'll need you to come with me next. I need your cooperation in conducting some experiments to quickly produce a more optimized Compound V to generate soldiers for me."
A troubled look appeared on Azu's face. "Sir, could I not go? I've found a new meaning to my existence."
Having found her son, Azu no longer wanted to fight and kill; she just wanted to spend some peaceful time with her son.
Despite the ongoing war outside, Azu was confident that he could protect his son and ensure he could live a good life here.
Are you rejecting me?
Xu Yuantui a step forward, while Azu was so frightened that he took three steps back, his face showing fear.
"Think it over. If you don't come with me willingly, I can take back the power I've given you at any time. Besides... your son is also a good experimental subject."
What do you think of this?
One sentence was enough to crush Azu.
The lawless superpowered individual's legs buckled, and he knelt down on the ground.
"Please, I'll go with you, just don't hurt Ryan!"
Azu knew he was no match for the mysterious man in front of him; if the man really attacked Ryan, nothing he did would make a difference.
Therefore, even the usually arrogant and domineering Azu had no choice but to lower his head and beg.
Given Azu's ego, he would never have been able to reach this level.
But the Seed of Desire intensified his longing for family, bringing this selfish man's care for his son to a peak.
"That's more like it. A contract should be honored, not something you do that makes things difficult for yourself."
"Take your son with you and come with me. I won't let him do the experiments; at most, I'll just draw a little blood."
"I have high hopes for you, Azu. As long as you obey my orders, I will not only give you greater power, but also ensure that you have a truly stable life one day."
Xu Yuantui contacted his main body, and soon after, a blue World-Crossing Gate descended once again.
Because they have not yet gained control over this world, and the main world where their main body resides is affected by the flow of time in these worlds, they cannot arrive in a timely manner.
However, once the main world completes its ascension, the original entity will come and take over this world.
I wonder what kind of world Xu Xuanpin will have transformed by then.
Xu Yuantui strode into the World-Crossing Gate, and a clear, cold voice rang out.
"Hurry up, you're about to embark on a new world and begin a new life."
