They originally had a photo of Zhang Junbao, but they never expected that after these days of killing, Zhang Junbao's entire demeanor had undergone a tremendous change.

Furthermore, when Zhang Junbao appeared before the Fire Hammer Squad, he slightly altered his facial features using his powerful muscle control. After all, they were in the Wilderness Zone, and although Zhang Junbao had no intention of harming anyone, it was still wise to be cautious.

That's why the Fire Hammer Squad and the old man surnamed Liu didn't recognize him immediately.

Moreover, the old man surnamed Liu sensed a threatening aura from Zhang Junbao. Although the young martial artist who could team up with Gao Feng to defeat High-Level Beast General looked somewhat similar to the person they were looking for, the old man surnamed Liu subconsciously regarded him as a member of the Fire Hammer Squad.

Indeed, normal martial artists usually fight in small teams when entering the Wilderness Zone, let alone in the extremely dangerous City 003.

High-Level Beast General everywhere, and there are also many Lord-level monsters dominating their respective regions.

Having previously seen Zhang Junbao and Gao Feng working together without much regard for their positions, I naturally assumed they were on the same team.

After listening to their conversation, Zhang Junbao realized that the Limits Dojo might have released a mission to find him. He didn't expect that Gao Feng and the mixed-race youth would both accept the mission to find him.

Upon hearing the conditions set by the mixed-race youth, Gao Feng gasped in shock.

A Double-Headed Black-Line Snake is worth about 1.6 billion, but the mixed-race youth asked for double that price, which is 3.2 billion Huaxia Currency. That's enough to match what their entire team worked for for several years.

And this condition is merely finding someone to hand them over.

It's worth noting that the Limits Dojo offered 400 million Huaxia Currency in cash plus a martial arts manual worth 600 million Huaxia Currency if Zhang Junbao was found. This offer was extremely tempting, equivalent to the value of killing two ordinary High-Level Beast General.

If he is brought back safely, he will be given an additional reward.

This clearly shows that the Limits Dojo attaches great importance to Zhang Junbao.

Gao Feng glanced at Zhang Junbao subconsciously and found that he looked calm and composed, without the slightest hint of unease.

Zhang Junbao was actually quite surprised. He thought, "Wow, I'm so valuable! Just finding me can get me a reward worth 1 billion Huaxia Currency. Even the Wargod would be tempted."

No wonder this mixed-race youth accepted the mission and came to the Wilderness Zone ahead of time; he really was attracted by me.

But judging from the mixed-race youth's tone, this meant he wanted to keep him permanently within the HR Alliance. The HR Alliance, as expected of the largest conglomerate alliance on Earth, was incredibly generous; their most basic tactic for poaching talent was simply throwing money at the problem.

This method is quite effective for many martial artists, since cultivating techniques costs money, combat uniforms cost money, and weapons cost money. Don't assume that all martial artists are like reclusive masters who regard money as dirt; their need for money far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhang Junbao was a very traditional Huaxia man with a unique affection for the land of Huaxia. He was quite resistant to the idea of serving an organization run by a group of foreign devils.

The reason Hong initially chose to join the Limits Dojo was because he is Huaxia.

Moreover, given his qualifications, Zhang Junbao didn't think it would take too long to catch up with Hong and the others. An alliance composed of a group of arms dealers and conglomerates also wanted him to work for them? He must be dreaming.

"Young master, your conditions are excellent. If we find him, we will definitely report to you immediately," Zhang Junbao said with a grin.

He subtly adjusted his facial muscles to make himself look older, and the battles of the past few days had given him a hint of ferocity, completely different from his days as a student.

The only photos outsiders can get of him are probably from his student days, at most from when he participated in the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, and his demeanor is quite different from that.

There's not much point in getting into a conflict with this mixed-race youth here. In Zhang Junbao's memory, this young man didn't seem to have much social experience, had a strong air of a second-generation martial arts student, and was the typical naive Qian Duo type who was easy to fool.

With just a few simple words, he dispelled his doubts about Zhang Junbao.

"You're smart enough to know your place. I don't even want this Double-Headed Black-Line Snake. If it weren't for its rather peculiar appearance, it wouldn't even be worth my attention."

Since you're so sensible, I'll give it to you as a reward.

Young master, my name is Li Wei, remember that!

Old Liu, let's leave him our contact information and head over!

The mixed-race youth gave the order.

After saying that, the old man surnamed Liu casually threw a card at Zhang Junbao, which had his contact information on it.

The three turned and left, not worried at all about the Fire Hammer Squad launching a sneak attack. In their view, anyone with a brain like the Fire Hammer Squad should know that they had powerful backers, and attacking such people would be tantamount to suicide.

"The journey is quite dangerous, young master. I think we should hire a team of martial arts practitioners as bodyguards. We can also entrust some of the security work to them," the old man surnamed Liu said after they were out of the Fire Hammer Squad's sight.

"Alright, you can arrange it."

The elderly man surnamed Liu realized that human martial artists, especially snipers, posed a significant threat to the mixed-race youth, which is why he made this suggestion.

Once the three mixed-race youths had walked away, the Fire Hammer Squad breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of robbery by wealthy young men, if not handled properly, could easily offend the forces behind them, something no one wanted to see.

"Alright, deal with this Double-Headed Black-Line Snake as soon as possible, then we'll leave," Zhang Junbao said.

"Yes, human warriors are also a threat in the Wilderness Zone."

"By the way, brother, I haven't asked your name yet. Didn't you say you had a mission you wanted to entrust to us?"

Gao Feng asked questions while handling the situation.

My name is Zhang Junbao.

"Oh, Zhang Junbao, not a bad name. Hmm? Zhang Junbao?"

Gao Feng suddenly stopped and stared at him in disbelief.

"What, is that not allowed?"

"You... you are that genius martial artist?" Gao Feng stammered.

"Whether I'm a genius or not, I don't know, but I was the Quasi-Martial Artist was captured by monsters in the assessment town and taken to the wilderness."

Zhang Junbao smiled and replied.

The reason he revealed his identity to the Fire Hammer Squad was to use them to return to the human Base City. As for the Fire Hammer Squad daring to betray him to the mixed-race youth, not to mention that he had their contact information, Zhang Junbao was confident that he could subdue the entire Fire Hammer Squad by himself.

Gao Feng stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it. Had he done something good today? One stroke of luck after another had fallen on his head, giving Gao Feng the illusion that he was the chosen one.

"So, we've completed the mission for the Limits Dojo?" the Wei brothers asked from the side.

"At least send me back."

"How did you manage to escape from the clutches of High-Level Beast General?"

That's right, with your abilities, it's normal that you were able to escape."

Gao Feng muttered to himself.

"What, don't you want to send me to the HR Alliance?" Zhang Junbao said jokingly. He wasn't sure if anyone in the Fire Hammer Squad had the same idea, so he might as well bring it up himself and test everyone's reaction.

"What a joke! You're a genius at our Limits Dojo. Why should we give you the HR Alliance? Just because Qian Duo doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" Zhang Ke said excitedly. Zhang Junbao was his savior, and now that he knew Zhang Junbao's identity, he was even more excited.

"Old Zhang, don't get so agitated. You almost vomited blood again, and you still dare to move around. But Zhang Ke is right, how could we possibly give our Limits Dojo's geniuses to the HR Alliance?"

"So you were just playing them for a fool?" Gao Feng asked.

"That young master has quite a background, and offending him now would be troublesome. I just tried to fool him a little, but I didn't expect him to actually believe it. If it weren't for the two bodyguards behind him, it's really hard to imagine that this kind of novice could survive in the Wilderness Zone. If he were to run into a few ruthless squads, he'd probably be slaughtered like a pig."

"The task I just requested was for you to take me back to Yangzhou City," Zhang Junbao said.

"Of course, the Limits Dojo has issued a mission. We'll get the mission reward if we send you back. We'll take care of it, brothers, right?" Gao Feng replied.

"That's right, leave it to us."

Zhang Junbao smiled. The atmosphere in the Fire Hammer Squad was quite simple and honest, and there was nothing shady between the members. This pure brotherhood made him feel at ease.
