Closing the video connection, Wang Xishu, who had been insulted like a dog, sat on the sofa panting heavily. Ever since he became the head of the Northwest District, it had been a long time since anyone dared to point at his nose and scold him like this. But he didn't dare talk back; he knew far better than these lower-level personnel how powerful the organization really was.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I was wrong! I truly was wrong! For my sister's sake, please forgive me this time! I won't dare again!" Sha Dehui, who had already been beaten half to death, had long since regained consciousness. Seeing his brother-in-law in such a state, he knew he had caused a huge disaster. Crawling and scrambling, he clung to Wang Xishu's trousers, tearfully begging.

Wang Xishu stared with an unpredictable expression at his so-called younger brother-in-law in front of him. After a long sigh, seemingly showing signs of softening, Sha Dehui quickly kowtowed repeatedly, crying out, "Brother-in-law, be generous! I won't dare again! In the future, I will follow your lead without question—anything you want me to do."

Feeling Wang Xishu's thick hand gently patting the back of his head, Sha Dehui's terror subsided a bit, and his body stopped trembling. But then he felt the force of the hand getting heavier and heavier. His head was buzzing, and when he realized something was wrong and wanted to resist, a strong breeze swept past his ear, and everything went black as he lost consciousness.

Taking the wet towel handed to him by a subordinate, Wang Xishu wiped the blood from his hands, coldly said while looking at the brain-splattered Sha Dehui at his feet, "Drag him out and throw him into an empty room."

Yang Biao, Wang Xishu's real confidant, came forward to ask, "Should we dispose of the body? With cops everywhere outside, it might be tricky."

"No need. We won't use this place anymore. Let his body rot here!" With that, Wang Xishu tossed the blood-stained wet towel onto the corpse in disgust.

This was the difference between him and Han Lihu. He wouldn't even hesitate to abandon Sha Dehui, who wasn't a blood relative, let alone his mistress and illegitimate child if they were in his way; he'd abandon them when needed without a second thought.

When he goes back, if she is sensible, he will console her generously with money. If not, he wouldn't mind getting a new mother for his illegitimate child—young girls are plentiful!

"Old Wang, what do we do next?" After slowly finishing the last noodle in his bowl, Liang Guangsheng handed the empty bowl to his subordinate and casually asked.

"What else can we do? Take our confidants, and the six of us will sneak out of the city and meet someone outside the city. Move the plan ahead!"

Liang Guangsheng leaned in with a sinister grin and asked, "What if we run into the Investigation Department people?"

"Guangsheng, do I need to explain? The higher-ups said we don't have to enter Jiezhi Space. When the time is right, we can make a big scene. It's about time the world knows of our existence! And if things go south, we've got the new Teleportation Array to escape!" Wang Xishu said fiercely, his eyes filled with menace, as he touched the nǎr (ring) in his hand.

Tonight seemed to pass exceptionally slowly. Three hours after Ye Jiumu and others were sent back to the Investigation Department, Shangxing arrived outside the hospital room with the rest of his team after completing their mission. Just as Jiang Feiyang was briefing the team, Lao Liu charged out of the elevator, breathlessly announcing to Pei Yan and others, "Urgent mission at the front!"

Everyone froze upon hearing this, and Xiaoyu, who had fallen into a deep sleep on her chair, suddenly stood up with a loud growl, "Where!"

As Lao Liu uttered the location, the group darted away like a whirlwind, leaving Lao Liu bewildered as he stared after the ominous group shoving him aside.

At 1 a.m., three hours after the incident, Pei Yan and others arrived at the scene through the Teleportation Array, jumped on a military vehicle waiting outside, and sped off. Lowering the car window, listening to the hum outside, he looked up to see helicopters skimming low in the sky, while night owls who hadn't slept took out phones, capturing the rare scene.

The closer they got to the city edge, the tenser the atmosphere felt, with layer upon layer of defenses and checkpoints. Having received the orders, the military vehicle carrying Pei Yan and others was allowed through without obstacles. Glancing outside at the damaged interception facilities, the moaning armed police officers, and the ambulances coming to their aid, the serious situation and oppressive atmosphere plunged everyone into silence, except for Jiang Feiyang's heavy breathing, revealing his tension.

With a creak and a shake of the car, Pei Yan couldn't wait for it to stop fully before jumping out first. He could already hear the sound of gunfire not far away. As he surveyed the surroundings for enemies, he hadn't yet figured out the situation when Yu Zhongmin, who was waiting, grabbed his hand, "Pei Yan, how wide can you control the electronic equipment now?"

"Ten kilometers!" Pei Yan blurted out.

"Good, cut off all electronic equipment around here except our military communication equipment. Not a single image should leak out!" Yu Zhongmin commanded sternly, gripping Pei Yan's hand tightly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan closed his eyes and unleashed his abilities, covering and selectively controlling all nearby electronic devices to shut them off.

"Done! Where are the enemies?" Pei Yan urgently asked after finishing.

"Up ahead, Xiaowang, lead them to see if Pei Yan can control those creatures!" Yu Zhongmin ordered a soldier beside him loudly, before going back into the command tent.

Following the soldier with the Golden Eagle Team emblem, they swiftly crossed three barricades. As the sound of gunfire grew more intense in their ears, they finally saw the enemies they had to confront under the spotlight.

Twelve steel Tyrannosaurus at over ten meters tall! Pei Yan didn't have time to be shocked before being pulled aside by Wenlin, who arrived earlier. Wenlin shouted into his ear, "Can you control these creatures?"

Pei Yan nodded and opened his palm towards the beasts. After a few minutes, he shook his head with disappointment and told Wenlin, "I can't control them! They're not mechanical; they seem to have their own life!"

"What's the matter? Why not fight them in Jiezhi Space?" Shangxing asked confusedly.

"Can't pull them in! These creatures have inscriptions on them that repel Jiezhi Space, making it impossible to include them! These 'Divine Ambition' guys are tearing off their mask, unafraid of making a big mess!" Wenlin yelled while directing his team to attack.

"Is it the group that attacked us?" Xiaoyu asked somberly.

"It's them! They were spotted by armed police at checkpoints while leaving the city, killed, and crashed through the blockade, then got cornered by our people here! Thankfully this place doesn't count as a third-tier city, with little traffic, otherwise...!"

Before Wenlin could finish, Pei Yan had already completed his mechanization, soaring into the air on the spot!
