Mario Kuiet's words were incredibly arrogant, shocking everyone around him.
At this moment, several ability users couldn't hold back. They leaped directly from the stands and charged towards Mario Kuiet on the stage.
The fighting arena was open-plan, with no barriers between the stands and the ring. These individuals rushed straight at Mario Kuiet.
They clearly understood the principle of "shoot the horse first to capture the rider," believing that by controlling Mario Kuiet, they would have a chance to escape the crisis and leave the island!
However, Mario Kuiet paid no attention to these attackers.
He reached into his pocket, then opened his hand, revealing over a dozen steel balls the size of green beans.
These steel balls, as if alive, hovered above Mario Kuiet's palm.
At this moment, the closest ability user was still more than two meters away.
Mario Kuiet snapped his fingers, and in the next instant, those dozens of steel balls shot out in all directions.
The power of these steel balls was comparable to the shrapnel generated by a grenade explosion.
Within moments, these ability users were each pierced by several steel balls and fell into a pool of blood.
One of the ability users had a petrifying skin ability, which made his skin incredibly hard, like stone.
However, although the steel balls couldn't penetrate his skin, two of them shot into his eyes.
This fellow was instantly blinded, clutching his eyes and writhing on the ground in agony.
"Heh, see? This is my power. Choose to submit to me, and sooner or later, you will gain such power.
If you make the wrong choice, they will be your cautionary tale!"
Everyone was stunned. The ability displayed by Mario Kuiet was truly terrifying. He was like a human shotgun, firing in all directions without blind spots, fearless whether facing one opponent or a crowd!
Just then, another person stepped onto the stage. The crowd first fell silent, then erupted in cheers.
Because the person who had now entered the ring was a celebrity on Hell Paradise Island – the leader of the US delegation, Prometheus!
Although this fellow had repeatedly suffered setbacks at Ling Tian's hands, everyone had to admit that his strength was still formidable.
In their eyes, Prometheus, as an American, would not yield to Mario Kuiet's tyranny. Moreover, nearly a hundred Americans had come to Hell Paradise Island this time, representing a very powerful force!
Although there were over 500 security personnel on the island, if a real fight broke out, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
People are like that; as soon as someone dares to take the lead, their courage grows.
However, something that made everyone's jaw drop happened soon after. Prometheus did not launch an attack upon entering the stage. Instead, he walked up to Mario Kuiet, and the two shared an embrace.
Mario Kuiet slung an arm around Prometheus's shoulder.
"By the way, everyone, I want to inform you all that Mr. Prometheus and I have reached a comprehensive and friendly cooperation agreement.
Our friend from the United States will help me suppress those who dare to resist.
Mr. Prometheus will use his flames to teach those who are not content with their lot!"
This news instantly turned the glimmer of hope that had just returned to everyone's hearts into rage and despair!
Hell Paradise Island's own strength was already considerable, and with the help of the Americans, others had no way to resist!
Furthermore, a significant portion of the people on the island were willing to become lackeys of the Americans. If their American boss had surrendered, how could they dare not follow suit?
Seeing them arm in arm, it was clear they had reached an agreement and were on very intimate terms. This was truly terrible news!
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the World Ability Conference thus concluded.
All the originally scheduled meeting sessions were canceled, replaced by this ultimatum that felt like a threat.
Following this, Mario Kuiet hosted a banquet for Prometheus and his entourage, which further convinced everyone that the people of Hell Paradise Island had reached an agreement with the Americans.
But they had no idea that Prometheus had already been controlled by Lang Ge's ability.
The other Americans were unaware of this, still in the dark, believing that Prometheus had indeed reached a cooperation agreement with Mario Kuiet.
At this moment, in Kuiet Castle, Mario Kuiet returned to his study with a triumphant air. Looking out through the study's large glass windows at more than half of Hell Paradise Island, Mario Kuiet, or rather Lang Ge, was extremely pleased.
This body was healthy and powerful, and most importantly, Mario Kuiet was rich!
Now, with such immense power under his control, Lang Ge even felt like the king of the world, and a seed of ambition began to sprout in his heart!
Just then, the study door was pushed open, and Aurora walked in with a cold expression.
"Father, why are you doing this? This was not your original intention, nor was it what you told me when you decided to hold the World Ability Conference!
Are you going to turn them into your slaves?"
"Heh, why not, Aurora? I'm doing all this for you..."
"But, Father, you won't gain their genuine loyalty this way!"
"It doesn't matter. As long as I have money, as long as I have power, they will eventually submit to me!
One day, the entire world will be mine!"
"Father, what you're doing is very dangerous. You'll be making an enemy of the entire world!"
"So what? I will be an enemy of the entire world, and I will be the king of this world!"
Lang Ge stood with his back to Aurora, gazing out at the scenery, his spirit soaring.
However, at this moment, Aurora suddenly reached into her pocket. In her hand was the talisman Ling Tian had given her!
As power was infused into the talisman, the patterns on it were instantly activated. Aurora raised her hand, and under her mental control, the talisman shot towards Lang Ge!
Lang Ge sensed something was wrong and quickly unleashed Mario Kuiet's ability to resist.
However, Ling Tian's talisman was not made of metal, and the magnetic field shield he formed could not block it. The talisman struck Mario Kuiet squarely.
"Bang!"
The entire talisman exploded instantly, releasing an invisible energy that directly affected the soul!
