Upon hearing this, Ames' eyes flashed with a sharp green light as she stared at Mazaks and said, enunciating each word clearly, "What do you intend to do to my people now?"
Mazaks remained noncommittal. "Your Dragon Emperor, please don't be so sensitive. Black Star and I only met once."
Ames narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao was quite frank, "He approached me, wanting me to leave Dragon Calm and join the War Realm. Tsk tsk, the offer is pretty good."
"And then, what are you thinking?" Ames asked with a half-smile.
"If I agree, he won't bring it up again." Han Xiao shrugged.
Ames smiled slightly, then turned to Mazaks and said, "Did you hear that? Stop with your little tricks and lead the way."
Seeing that his attempts to sow discord were futile, Mazaks fell silent and led the group inside.
A few days before the gathering, many people have already arrived, and the War Realm has prepared many guest rooms for guests to rest.
The group headed to their guest rooms and traversed the base complex, where patrolling soldiers and vehicles were everywhere.
Han Xiao took the time to observe the various facilities in the War Realm along the way. They were similar to what he remembered. In his previous life, there were also players who were recruited by the War Realm. He remembered the map structure of Planet Heber.
'If I remember correctly, the surface of Planet Heber is only a small part; there's an even larger base underground,' Han Xiao thought to himself.
Just then, a stranger's voice suddenly rang out not far behind them:
"Long time no see, Ames."
Han Xiao's first instinct was that this person's tone sounded really irritating.
Everyone turned around and saw a group of soldiers surrounding a man who appeared behind them. It was this man who spoke; he was wearing an exquisite robe, had an effeminate appearance, and a mocking expression on his face as he stared at Ames.
Upon seeing this person, Ames's expression changed slightly, and she slowly said, "Kailo."
Kailo's eyes darted around, sweeping over Ames's alluring face, snow-white neck, flat stomach, and long legs. He boldly looked her up and down, chuckling, "I've been away from Dragon Calm for so long, and you're still as beautiful as ever."
Ames's expression was indifferent and cold.
Han Xiao's heart stirred slightly. Ames's reaction was somewhat unusual, as if she had a special relationship with this guy named Kailo. He turned to look at Mazaks and found that the Broken Horn demon had a look of amusement on its face.
So that's how it is. Kailo was Ames's former subordinate... Han Xiao suddenly understood.
If Kailo had resigned normally, Ames wouldn't have done anything. However, Kailo openly defected, joined the War Realm in a high-profile manner, and even gave away some of the technical secrets and map structures of Dragon Calm. Now he holds a high position, which is undoubtedly a betrayal to Ames. She is hostile to the War Realm and even more hostile to Kailo. When she stormed Planet Heber, she probably had another purpose: to kill Kailo, but she was stopped by the Tyrant.
As he suspected, Ames and her former subordinate Kailo had long since become enemies.
"You've come to see me, don't you want to die?" Ames said calmly.
Relying on his powerful backer, Kailo was fearless, a cold smile on his face. "This is the headquarters of the War Realm. What, you want to kill the Tyrant's logistics director here? By the way, I heard you found an insect to replace me. Heh, you have some really strange tastes."
Ames remained expressionless, but her aura gradually intensified.
Hila and Aurora sensed something was wrong and immediately became alert.
However, Kailo was not to be outdone, clearly having come specifically to provoke him. Turning to Han Xiao beside him, he casually said, "Black Star? You're Ames ' new executive, right? I'm practically your senior. How about I give you some pointers?"
"Guides?" Han Xiao raised an eyebrow. He hadn't said anything, but he hadn't expected Kailo to take the initiative to approach him.
"Yes, I know her very well, and I think you need my guidance." Kailo shrugged, feigning seriousness, and teased, "After all, you enjoy being her pet, so shouldn't you figure out your owner's preferences?"
"Wow, this is the first time I've met someone more annoying than me." Han Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Bro, when you look in the mirror, do you ever suddenly feel like punching yourself?"
Kailo thought Han Xiao would be angry at his mockery, but he didn't expect this reaction. He was momentarily speechless, paused, and then continued, his tone sarcastic, "Don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth. You're just like I used to be, her pet. The difference is, you're just a substitute for me. Without you, there will be some other White Star or Red Star to replace you."
Han Xiao stroked his chin, before he could retort, Ames spoke first, coldly saying:
"Black Star is different from you; he's more trustworthy than you."
"Oh, then you'd better watch out." Kailo stared at Han Xiao, her expression mocking. "The more she trusts you, the more resolute her killing intent will be when you decide to abandon her... Heh, I'm afraid your status is even lower than a pet; you're just a slave chained to her side."
This guy can really talk a lot... Han Xiao rolled his eyes. A few words of argument wouldn't easily anger him.
As he spoke, Kailo turned his gaze to Ames again, this time with an even more blatant and passionate look in his eyes, "You know, I used to barely have the courage to look you in the eye, but now..."
I have no interest in knowing what you think.
Ames interrupted Kailo abruptly, her eyes icy cold. She raised her hand and said slowly, "Since you've taken the initiative to provoke us, it seems you're prepared to bear the consequences."
Boom!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a raging force field erupted, cracking the earth under its immense pressure, and the force field crashed straight into Kailo.
Just then, three loud shouts rang out from all around, and three figures moved swiftly, seemingly leaving afterimages as they moved, simultaneously blocking Kailo's path, their bodies radiating intense martial arts aura.
The three people, with six hands, held the force field back tightly; one of the figures was Mazaks.
All three are Grade A War Realm Vanguard Officers.
After a brief stalemate, a shockwave suddenly exploded, sending all the surrounding soldiers of the War Realm tumbling and rolling away like gourds.
The three Vanguard Officers were also blasted away, stopping their retreat with a burst of energy in mid-air before landing on their feet, warily watching Ames.
It took the combined efforts of the three of them to block the force field that Ames unleashed.
"As expected, you were prepared." Ames's eyes darkened slightly, and the air seemed to vibrate subtly.
That last attack was just a normal basic attack from Ames; now she's getting serious.
Buzzing--
An even stronger force field was brewing, and cracks gradually appeared on the surrounding ground and buildings.
Seeing this, Han Xiao felt helpless and could only take a few steps forward, standing in front of Ames. With a flash of Mechanical Force, the Watch Protocol floated behind him in a ring shape, like a halo behind his head.
The muzzle of the floating shuttle glowed with a ghostly light, aiming at several enemies. Han Xiao grinned:
"So, do you want a one-on-one fight, or a group brawl? I'm fine with either."
The three Vanguard Officers of Mazaks all revealed eagerness in their eyes.
Although that's what they said, Han Xiao knew that a fight wouldn't break out. This was a show of force in the War Realm, and the Tyrant would definitely intervene, after all, they were guests, and Heber wouldn't allow Ames to act recklessly and ruin his gathering.
However, even though a fight is unlikely, I still need to make a statement; I can't just stand by and let Ames face the enemy alone.
Just at the critical moment, a tremendous and unprecedented aura suddenly erupted from the distance, soaring into the sky and seemingly sweeping across the entire War Realm. Even the starlight in the sky seemed to suddenly lose its color and dimmed.
Rumble--
From an unknown distance, a voice drifted over, deep and resonant, like rolling thunder.
"Ames, you're making a move on my turf, do you think I don't exist?!"
Upon hearing that voice, Han Xiao immediately sensed the domineering tone.
He subconsciously recalled the powerful roar of Tiger's Roar he had personally experienced at the zoo in his previous life.
Tyrant, Heber!
