All Sides Gather, Trouble at the Venue

As the fireworks were launched, a large cloud of colorful confetti rose into the air.

The militiamen around them applauded enthusiastically.

Some militiamen even held up banners that read, "Welcome Xingfeng Group to the Golden Triangle."

Li Xiaorou and the special forces captain were somewhat stunned by what they saw.

When did the armed forces in the Golden Triangle become so enthusiastic? In their minds, the people in this place were all vicious and ruthless.

Jack then stepped out from the crowd and approached Chen Feng and Li Xiaorou, saying warmly:

"Mr. Li, I've heard so much about you! My name is Jack. I hope we can get along well in the future."

Jack did not shake hands with Li Xiaorou.

Just kidding. Although he didn't know what relationship this woman had with his boss, he certainly wouldn't dare shake her hand.

Jack glanced at Chen Feng beside Li Xiaorou, and seeing that Chen Feng's expression didn't change, he relaxed as well.

Although his own boss didn't like welcoming ceremonies, this time he was welcoming the Xingfeng Group.

This is a different way of welcoming their own boss.

Li Xiaorou also gave a polite smile, "Hello, it's nice to meet you."

Li Xiaorou was quite surprised.

She knew all too well the power of Jack Security Company in the Golden Triangle.

Recent international news has also covered Jack Security Company, which has unified the entire Golden Triangle and is now the largest armed force there.

Although we're about to discuss cooperation, this is going too far.

"I've already arranged hotels for you all; we'll escort you there."

Jack said politely.

He didn't speak to Chen Feng at all from beginning to end.

This secretly pleased him. "It feels so good to be able to ignore the boss."

Chen Feng's identity this time was simply that of a staff member of Xingfeng Group.

This was also due to Liu Mu's safety concerns.

Chen Feng's identity must never be exposed, nor can people from other countries know that Chen Feng is the person behind Xingfeng Group.

Therefore, on the surface, Jack had to pretend he didn't know Chen Feng.

Everyone quickly got back into the car.

The Xingfeng Group's vans, escorted by a group of militiamen, began their journey towards Shan State.

Inside the minivan.

Li Xiaorou looked excitedly at the militia convoy escorting them outside the window and said:

"Boss, this is quite a scene. I didn't expect the armed forces in the Golden Triangle to welcome us so warmly, and they don't seem like bad people at all."

She had never had a very good impression of the Golden Triangle.

The reason is that the Golden Triangle has been filled with various negative news in recent years, such as fraud and human trafficking.

Many people in China have a deep-seated fear of this place.

Before Chen Feng could answer, the special operations team leader who was driving spoke up:

"Mr. Li, don't be fooled by their friendly demeanor. These men have wiped out many warlords in the Golden Triangle; their hands are stained with blood."

The special operations team leader was vigilant from the very beginning.

Although it was mentioned beforehand that Jack had a cooperative relationship with them.

But this isn't within the Dragon Country's territory, and Chen Feng is being escorted in this vehicle.

He was still very worried that something bad might happen.

Li Xiaorou then said:

"I've heard that a silver-haired immortal has appeared in the Golden Triangle. I wonder if we'll have a chance to see him this time."

Upon hearing this, the special operations team smiled but remained silent.

He didn't believe the story about the silver-haired immortal at all.

In his view, that was nothing more than some people's fantasy.

Chen Feng, sitting in the back seat, didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to the two's discussion.

Before long, the car was driving on the streets of Shan State.

There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, and with so many militiamen appearing, the residents of Shan State had already hidden themselves away.

The militiamen escorted Chen Feng and his group all the way to the hotel before leaving.

Jack also informed Li Xiaorou that the auction would be held in three hours.

After arriving in the Golden Triangle, the special operations team members noticeably became more vigilant.

The entire team stood guard outside Chen Feng's room, protecting Chen Feng almost every step of the way.

After entering the hotel room, Chen Feng left directly through the window.

He was going to retrieve the items from the auction for Jack.

Inside the security company's office.

Jack was wearing a sharp suit and holding a cigar.

He was no longer the petty thug he once was; he now exuded the aura of a powerful figure.

The entire Golden Triangle is now his territory, and Jack Security Company has even gained a certain degree of international recognition.

Just then, a figure flew in through the window.

Jack immediately stubbed out his cigar, stood up, and said respectfully, "Boss!"

Chen Feng glanced at Jack, then waved his right hand, and the metal and herbs from his Storage Bag appeared on the table.

"These are the items to be auctioned. The starting bid for each item must be no less than one hundred million US dollars."

Jack was startled when he saw what was on the table.

Whether it's a snow-white stone with a cold aura or a crystal with flowing golden energy inside, it all looks extremely futuristic.

Chen Feng's asking price of $100 million as the starting bid was, in Jack's view, perfectly reasonable.

"Have you found the person I asked you to find?" Chen Feng asked.

Jack was examining the cold stone when he heard Chen Feng's question, and quickly replied:

"It's all been arranged; they're all internationally renowned testing and authentication agencies. They'll be on-site to authenticate the auction items!"

Chen Feng had previously arranged for Jack to find an international professional appraisal agency to come over.

These items wouldn't fetch high prices based on their appearance alone.

Only certification from an authorized appraisal agency can convince people to spend a fortune to buy it.

Chen Feng then asked:

"Besides people from tech companies, who else came this time?"

Chen Feng estimated that the Eagle Sauce Country would definitely send representatives to this auction.

Jack is a superhuman; others might not believe the story of alien spaceship debris, but the Eagle Sauce Country certainly will.

Only extraterrestrial civilizations can explain how Jack acquired his superpowers.

"Boss, my men have indeed spotted a large number of unidentified people on the streets of Shan State these past two days. Although they are all in plainclothes, their counter-surveillance capabilities are extremely strong."

"But don't worry, boss, as long as it's not the military coming to the Golden Triangle, these people won't pose a threat to us!"

Jack exuded confidence; he was no longer the lowly gang leader who needed Chen Feng's help with everything.

With his armed forces in the Golden Triangle, he has nothing to worry about as long as other countries don't send troops over.

Chen Feng nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll be going now."

Before Jack could even reply, Chen Feng's figure vanished from the room.

Given Jack's current martial arts level, all he could see was a fleeting afterimage before his boss vanished.

"The blood I bought will arrive in a couple of days, and I also need to improve my cultivation level!" A determined look appeared in Jack's eyes.

Since he has now unified the Golden Triangle, he has led his men to eliminate many underground armed forces.

Jack no longer has any blood to absorb.

As his martial arts level rose higher and higher, he also discovered that his need for blood had increased dramatically.

Left with no other choice, he had to buy blood from outside sources to cultivate his skills.

In a remote neighborhood in Shan State.

CIA intelligence personnel are gathered here right now.

After news of the auction broke, the CIA sent people to the Golden Triangle.

The team was led by Neo, the head of the CIA's operations department.

Neo is on the phone with CIA Director John:

"Chief, our people have been searching for several days but haven't found any trace of alien spacecraft debris. This might be a hoax."

John's voice came through:

"It seems this was a false rumor deliberately spread by Jack. Since we can't find out, there's no need to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Neo asked:

"Chief, are the items being auctioned at this event real or fake?"

John replied:

"I don't know. You don't need to worry about that. People from our country's technology companies will be attending the auction. If there are any good items, they will naturally bid for them. Now, there's another matter I need you to handle."

"I just received news that Li Xiaorou from Xingfeng Group has also arrived in the Golden Triangle. Find a way to capture her for me!"

While the CIA has been primarily investigating Jack's case recently, it also has other work to do.

Aside from superpowered individuals, the CIA's most important matter right now concerns the Xingfeng Group.

Everything developed by Xingfeng Group has caused a sensation around the world.

Even now, Huirui Pharmaceuticals in their country cannot determine what technological methods Xingfeng Group used to synthesize the drugs.

And all the CIA agents they sent to Dragon Country for secret investigations ended in failure.

The reason is simple: Xingfeng Group's security forces are simply too strong.

Not only is it guarded by the army, but there is also a secret military base 20 kilometers away from Xingfeng Group, which can send a large number of soldiers to Xingfeng Group at any time.

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to take action shortly." Neo understood the importance of this mission.

If we could secretly arrest and interrogate the general manager of Xingfeng Group, we would surely be able to extract a lot of useful information, and perhaps even obtain key technologies.

"Cherry Blossom Country has also secretly sent people to the Golden Triangle this time. The person in charge is named Sakata Ichiro. I've sent you his contact information. He will cooperate with your operation."

After hearing John's words, Neo asked with some surprise, "Why would Cherry Blossom Country send people to the Golden Triangle?"

John gave a cold laugh:

"What else could they be doing? These parasites are obviously looking to see if they can get any benefits out of it."

John didn't really think much of the Cherry Blossom Country.

This country also provoked the Eagle Sauce Country back then, and after being hit with an atomic bomb, it became one of their underlings.

They still have troops stationed in Cherry Blossom Country.

Time flies, and it was already 8 p. m.

The largest hotel in Shan State is called the Myanmar Hotel. At this moment, the street in front of the hotel has been completely blocked off, and the surrounding area is full of fully armed militiamen.

There were also a lot of cars parked in front of the hotel.

The Golden Triangle auction is being held here.

Since Jack's auction company had just been established, he could only hold the auctions in the hotel lobby, and he only hired a few auctioneers.

For this security reason, Jack deployed nearly five thousand people to block off the entire street.

The entire hotel was filled with armed militiamen.

Representatives from major technology companies gathered in the hotel lobby.

These people are all senior executives from technology companies around the world.

Not only tech companies, but also some media outlets came here to prepare for live broadcasts.

The items being auctioned this time are not antiques or collectibles, but rather contents from the wreckage of an alien spaceship.

This alone is enough to warrant a media trip.

The number of netizens watching this live stream reached tens of millions.

"They chose a place like this for the auction?"

"This looks like a hotel lobby. This is so unprofessional."

"It doesn't seem reliable at all."

"Just watch the show, anyway."

Netizens are constantly discussing it.

The seats in the lobby were very scattered; this auction was not open to just anyone.

Only companies with significant global influence are allowed to attend the auction.

There are fewer than thirty people in the lobby right now.

The companies that came were all well-known internationally.

For example, SpaceX from the Eagle Sauce Country, Apple, Samsung and LG from South Korea, and Toyota from Cherry Blossom Country, etc.

Even companies that are not involved in materials science or astronomy research sent representatives to participate in this auction.

For these top tech giants, sending representatives to this auction is just a formality, something to do.

Many people in the lobby started chatting, with many treating the auction as a business networking opportunity.

Some people even started video calls; for example, a representative from SpaceX was having a video call with their boss.

These people are not worried about their safety.

Those who can come here are all backed by their own country.

If something happens to them here, their own country won't stand idly by.

The armed forces in the Golden Triangle may be very powerful here, but they are not much on the international stage.

At this moment, Li Xiaorou and Chen Feng walked out of the auction venue, accompanied by several soldiers from the special forces team.

One of Jack's trusted henchmen saw Chen Feng enter and immediately ran to Chen Feng and Li Xiaorou:

"Please follow me, gentlemen!"

The younger brother led Chen Feng and Li Xiaorou to the front row.

This underling had met Chen Feng before, but Jack had told him not to greet Chen Feng.

Upon seeing Li Xiaorou and her group, they were seated in the front row.

The tech company representatives in the hotel lobby all began to scrutinize Li Xiaorou and her group.

Upon seeing Li Xiaorou, many people recognized her instantly.

Li Xiaorou, General Manager of Xingfeng Group.

This face is now familiar to many people around the world.

The launch of Yangyuan Jianti Pills caused quite a stir internationally back then.

Dragon Country netizens watching the live stream were in an uproar upon seeing Li Xiaorou.

"Isn't this our female CEO?"

"She actually came too? Could this UFO be real?"

"It's so beautiful."

"Our country has more prestige; they get to sit in the first row."

The online discussions are ongoing, and Xingfeng Group and its president Li Xiaorou, are undoubtedly the hottest topics online.

Her appearance naturally sparked widespread discussion among netizens.

Li Xiaorou and Chen Feng were seated in the first row by Jack's underlings, and they had barely sat down when...

A dozen or so people walked towards them.

The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit with a square mustache; he appeared to be from Cherry Blossom Country.

"Hello Mr. Li, I am Nobuo Kimura, Vice President of Takeda Pharmaceutical. I would like to discuss the Yangyuan Jianti Pill with you."

With a confident smile on his face, Nobuo Kimura walked straight into Li Xiaorou 'Li Xiaorou house, ready to reach out and grab her hand to kiss her.

The special operations team leader immediately stepped in front of Kimura Nobuo.

"Mr. Li doesn't want to know you!"

The special forces captain wouldn't allow these Cherry Blossom Country to get close to this place, especially not to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng wouldn't let anyone get within five meters of him.

Upon hearing this, Nobuo Kimura's face immediately turned ugly.

"Baka, do you know who I am?"

Nobuo Kimura's face was filled with anger; he was very annoyed that someone was blocking his way.

Moreover, the other party appeared to be just Li Xiaorou's bodyguard.

Takeda Pharmaceuticals is a well-known international company, and being blocked like this made him feel very embarrassed.

Moreover, those who came to the Golden Triangle with him this time included people from the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau of Cherry Blossom Country, totaling more than 500 secret agents.

He was very confident, and standing next to him was a capable man, Sakata Ichiro, the head of the intelligence agency this time.

The special forces captain, his eyes sharp, stared at Kimura Shin and said, "Get lost!"

Although Nobuo Kimura did not understand Chinese.

But he still understood the word "get lost," and his face immediately turned ashen.

A dozen or so Cherry Blossom Country agents surrounded him.

Just as the agents from Cherry Blossom Country surrounded Li Xiaorou and Chen Feng...

The dozens of militiamen standing guard in the hotel lobby all raised their AK47s at the same time.

Dozens of rifles were simultaneously pointed at Kida Nobuo and his men.

The chatter in the hall fell silent instantly.

Dozens of AKs were raised at the same time, startling everyone.

At that moment, Jack walked over with his men, picked up one of his henchmen's AKs, and pointed it directly at Kimura Nobuo's head.

Did you just swear?

Kimura Nobuo's face turned deathly pale, and Sakata Ichiro's expression also changed beside him.

Nobuo Kimura hurriedly said:

"What do you want to do? I come from the Great Sakura Empire. Your actions are a provocation against us!"

Kimura Nobuo never expected that simply wanting to greet Li Xiaorou would lead to these armed forces in the Golden Triangle immediately opening fire.

Are these people crazy?

Jack asked again coldly:

"I'll ask you one more time, did you just swear?"

He had already disengaged the safety on his rifle.

Looking into Jack's icy gaze, Nobuo Kimura felt a cold sweat instantly pour down his forehead.
