Not to mention big shots like Fire Phoenix and Blood Rose, who are famous throughout the entire base!
They are not people they can afford to mess with!
Headquarters of the Dragon King Cult.
In a spacious hall on the top floor, nearly thirty people sat around a huge round table, the atmosphere so heavy it was almost palpable.
These people were all dressed in black, tight-fitting outfits with ferocious dragon patterns embroidered on their chests. They were the core members of the Dragon King Cult, from Dragon One to Dragon Thirty-Two.
At the head of the table, Long Yi's face was as still as water, his thick fingers tapping the table unconsciously.
As the de facto manager when the Dragon King is absent, he bears immense pressure.
What happened today is beyond their comprehension.
If not handled properly, it might cause the Dragon King Sect to fall apart!
The opponent's strength is truly terrifying!
"Big brother, is that person... really that scary?" Long Shiwu couldn't help but break the silence, his voice filled with disbelief.
Long Yi glanced at him coldly: "Didn't you all hear the news from Seventh Brother? He split the Dragon Scale Chariot in one move. Even the Dragon King couldn't do that."
The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and fear.
They knew all too well the defensive capabilities of the Dragonscale vehicle; it was a super armor that could withstand even anti-tank rockets!
"Could it be some kind of special ability?" Long Ershi guessed. "Perhaps it's something specifically designed to counter the scales of giant beasts. After all, who knows just how special things exist in this world?"
Long Wu shook his head in denial. He had just personally examined the wreckage of the split dragon scale chariot and said in a deep voice, "The cut was as smooth as a mirror. It was done purely by strength and the sharpness of the weapon. That weapon... is definitely a divine weapon beyond our understanding."
Mentioning Jiang Wu's weapon, a glint of greed flashed in everyone's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear.
Such a divine weapon requires a person to be alive to use it.
Just then, the walkie-talkie in front of Long Yi rang: "Brother, this is Long Qi. The other party has accepted those supplies."
This simple message brought a sigh of relief to everyone present.
Even Ryuichi, whose face had been tense, relaxed a little.
“Well done,” Long Yi said into the walkie-talkie. “Come back as soon as possible; we need to revise the rules.”
After ending the call, Long Yi looked around at all the core members present and said sternly, "Listen carefully! Until that powerful figure leaves the base, all core members of the Dragon King Cult must remain at their posts and are not allowed to go out and cause trouble! Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the Dragon King Cult without exception!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, and no one dared to object.
What happened today has made it clear to them that there are some entities they absolutely cannot afford to offend.
To survive, one has no choice but to compromise.
Inside the VIP room of Tiandao Foot Massage City, Jiang Wu was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
Almost simultaneously, the door to the VIP lounge was gently pushed open.
Fire Phoenix led Blood Rose in.
Unlike the signature charming smile of the Fire Phoenix.
Blood Rose remained as cold and aloof as ever, her dark red leather armor outlining her agile figure, her eyes sharp as knives, fixed directly on Jiang Wu.
"Brother Bai~ Sister Rose is here~" Fire Phoenix said sweetly, and tactfully stepped aside, leaving space for the two of them.
But she didn't leave, clearly wanting to hear what the rest of the conversation would be like.
Blood Rose cut to the chase without any pleasantries: "Why are you going to the Misty Zone?"
Her voice, like her eyes, carried a cold quality.
Jiang Wu remained unfazed, still leaning lazily against the back of his chair, and calmly replied, "Just curious. Also, I promised Engineer Chen I'd help him go in and find his daughter."
This answer didn't seem to surprise Blood Rose, but a complex emotion still flashed in her cold eyes.
She took a deep breath, and her icy tone unusually carried an almost pleading quality: "Could you not go in?"
Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a leisurely air, finding it somewhat amusing: "No."
Beside her, Fire Phoenix smiled.
Sure enough, Sister Rose was very nervous.
He has completely lost his usual composure.
That's true. Faced with a super strongman like him, they are no longer the powerful figures who are admired and feared by thousands in the base.
He's just someone who's slightly better than the average person.
Blood Rose looked at Jiang Wu and continued, "What would it take for you to not go in?"
Jiang Wu sat up straight, his gaze becoming inquisitive.
He looked intently at Blood Rose and asked, "Why are you so afraid of me going in? What's going on inside?"
This question silenced Blood Rose.
She avoided Jiang Wu's gaze, her beautifully shaped jawline slightly tense, clearly indicating an intense internal struggle.
The air in the VIP room seemed to freeze. Even the Fire Phoenix, who had been watching the commotion, suppressed her smile and held her breath, waiting for Blood Rose's answer.
In the end, Blood Rose remained silent, only pursing her lips tightly.
Upon seeing Blood Rose in this state, Jiang Wu's curiosity faded, and he regained his previous composure.
He leaned back lazily in his chair, as if he had lost interest: "If you don't want to say, then forget it. I'll just go in and see for myself."
This statement, though made casually, carries an undeniable determination.
For a moment, the luxurious private room fell silent.
After a while, Blood Rose seemed to have made up her mind, and her eyes became resolute.
She asked earnestly, "Can I come in with you?"
Looking at Blood Rose's beautiful face and graceful figure, Jiang Wu calmly said, "Okay, but I won't protect you."
Blood Rose nodded.
The fire phoenix watched with amusement.
It's rare to see Blood Rose with such a vulnerable expression.
That's really interesting.
Jiang Wu said calmly, "I will depart at 9 a.m. tomorrow. You can leave now."
Blood Rose looked at Jiang Wu with a complicated expression.
A few seconds later, she left the private room.
After Blood Rose left, Fire Phoenix closed the door, came to Jiang Wu's side, and said sweetly, "Brother~ you're so cool! You didn't even put a woman like Blood Rose in your eyes~ I don't know what kind of woman could catch your eye~"
Jiang Wu calmly said, "It's definitely not the kind of woman who treats men like toys."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Phoenix's eyes, but she giggled and said, "I don't dare to hope for your heart, brother~ It's just that someone as strong as you is too attractive to me~"
Jiang Wu shoved her unruly hands away and casually asked, "Are there any good rooms around here? I'd like to rest for the night."
Fire Phoenix winked and said sweetly, "You'll be right here~ I know my limits, I promise no one will bother you, and I'll provide you with the best food, drinks and entertainment."
Jiang Wu's lips twitched. Isn't the biggest source of harassment yourself?
