That night!
No sooner said than done!
As soon as this group of people walked away from the table, they sprang into action.
In a certain country!
Upon a luxurious skyscraper.
This floor was filled with warriors clad in combat suits.
Their auras surged, forming a circle, their gazes fixed on a figure ahead.
At the center, protected by them, was a man in a well-tailored suit, exuding an air of authority.
"Leader, you go first!"
Beside him, a warrior in general's uniform spoke gravely, "We will ensure your safety!"
The man in the suit's expression remained unchanged; he merely nodded slightly.
From this brief scene, most would likely deduce that a nation's leader was under attack!
The man in the suit then slowly retreated under the protection of the others.
At this moment, his gaze involuntarily fell upon a strange figure in front.
This figure was peculiar, constantly oozing water.
Despite the dry surroundings, where he stood, a large pool of water formed within seconds.
"In such a hurry to leave?"
Seeing the man in the suit attempt to depart, the figure raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice extremely hoarse.
"No one leaves without my permission!"
As he spoke, the peculiar figure advanced step by step towards the group of warriors and the man in the suit.
Simultaneously!
With his movement, an immensely powerful aura poured out from within him like a surging river.
"Attack! Protect the Leader!"
"Do not let the Leader be harmed!"
"He is only one person; even if he is powerful, we still have a chance to take him down!"
Upon seeing him move, all the warriors exchanged glances and simultaneously charged towards him.
Clearly, they intended to intercept the peculiar figure, allowing their nation's leader to escape safely.
Furthermore, since the opponent was alone, they truly didn't believe that dozens of them couldn't stop him!
It was important to remember that while their strength might not be top-tier on Blue Star, in the context of spiritual energy's resurgence, their abilities were far beyond what they once were.
However!
The thoughts were beautiful.
Reality, however, was cruel.
Despite their combined charge, they didn't even touch the peculiar figure's body.
They were struck by something, their vision darkened, and they all collapsed to the ground.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The man in the suit, having taken only a few steps away, trembled violently at the sight.
He had never anticipated that this person's strength would be so immense!
His own guards couldn't even hold the attacker back for a full minute.
No, not even ten seconds.
"Escape, quick, escape!"
While his heart pounded, the man in the suit did not forget to flee.
Splash!
The next second.
The shadowy figure flickered and instantly blocked the man in the suit, who had not yet departed.
"Esteemed Leader, what are you doing?"
"I said no one leaves without my permission!"
"You... what exactly do you want?"
The man in the suit stumbled back a few steps, then, seeing his escape route blocked, took a deep breath to suppress his trembling and asked.
"I don't want anything."
The peculiar figure shrugged with a smile and then said, "I just want to engage in a simple collaboration with you!"
"Collaboration?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the suit felt significantly calmer.
After all, from this perspective, his life would not be in immediate danger.
"Since it's a collaboration, tell me how we should discuss this!"
The man in the suit steadied his nerves, attempting to appear calm.
"It's very simple."
The peculiar figure's smile widened. "I only ask you to do one thing: to resist the beasts in the country you control!"
"Preferably, drive them to desperation!"
"Sir, this is a very difficult task!"
Hearing this, the man in the suit's eyes lit up slightly.
Although he didn't understand why this person wanted to deal with the beasts in his country, it was undoubtedly great news for his people and for himself.
After all, if they were dealt with, his country's safety would significantly increase.
At the very least, there would be no need to worry about sudden beast rampages!
Despite his inner joy, how could he, as a national leader, reveal such emotions?
On the surface, he frowned and said, "If the beasts could be dealt with so easily, they wouldn't have survived to this day."
"To drive the beasts out of our country would require immense resources and manpower!"
He didn't elaborate further.
It was clear enough that he was hinting at needing benefits.
He believed the peculiar figure understood.
Indeed.
The peculiar figure's smile did not fade.
However, just as he expected the peculiar figure to promise some benefits,
The peculiar figure's voice turned cold, and he changed tack. "If you cannot accomplish this, then... I will have to replace you with someone who can."
"I wonder what kind of uproar would ensue if a respected national leader met an untimely end."
"I'm truly curious how much of a sensation that would cause!"
Hiss!
A chill ran down his spine!
Upon hearing these words, the man in the suit froze.
Meeting the peculiar figure's gaze, he believed that these were not idle threats but genuine intentions to kill him.
"Sir, rest assured, I will handle this matter!"
The man in the suit forced a smile and patted his chest firmly. "I guarantee I will do an excellent job!"
"That's good!"
The peculiar figure smiled. "I look forward to your performance!"
With that, the peculiar figure flickered.
The space distorted, and he vanished from the man in the suit's sight in an instant.
"This..."
Witnessing this, the man in the suit trembled inwardly.
"Why does he want all the beasts driven out?"
He remained silent for a long time, his mind filled with this question.
But...
Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Forget it, no matter."
"Either way, driving out the beasts is a good thing for me."
After a long silence, the man in the suit shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Expelling the beasts was, in fact, a good thing for him.
At the very least, it was certainly not a bad thing.
Since that was the case, it was better to ensure his own survival first.
With this thought, he immediately took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, Leader!"
"I heard you were attacked. How are you now?"
A strong and slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"I am fine. This matter has been resolved."
The man in the suit let out a deep breath. "But I have something I need you to do."
"Yes, please instruct me."
"Launch a targeted assault on the beasts within the country!"
"Ensure they are all driven out of our national territory!"
