The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

In his view, the peony's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Now they are on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and these people have been thoroughly searched by the Imperial Guards when they entered the Great Zhou Dynasty.

How could they possibly commit violence against me in the main hall?

Bai Huai'an escorted two secret agents from the Atlan Empire into the main hall.

The two men being escorted looked around blankly.

After taking in their surroundings, a glint flashed in their eyes, and they turned their gazes sharply toward Yang Xia, who was sitting upright in the main hall.

Standing there, they realized that the mission had completely failed.

However, to their surprise, they actually met Yang Xia here.

Their current predicament is entirely due to Yang Xia.

If they can eliminate Yang Xia, their mission will be largely complete, and they may even be able to remove a major threat to the Atlan Empire.

Therefore, when they saw the person sitting in the main seat, they couldn't help but reveal intense hatred in their eyes.

Yang Xia naturally noticed the changes in the expressions on the two men's faces, as well as the killing intent emanating from them.

Bai Huai'an sensed the murderous aura emanating from the two men, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he kicked them in the back of the knees.

"Pfft!"

The two were powerless to resist and immediately knelt down, prostrating themselves before Yang Xia.

Seeing the two kneeling on the ground, Bai Huai'an finally showed a hint of satisfaction. He then knelt on one knee and respectfully said to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty, these two are spies from the Atlan Empire!"

"Since boarding the ship, they have repeatedly tried to reveal our whereabouts and route. If it weren't for my timely intervention and that of the patrol personnel, they might have succeeded!"

These two are even more cunning than the people from Red Cake Country and India.

Although the people from India and the Red Cake Country were cautious, the expressions on their faces could not hide anything from the crew members.

When the two nations revealed their intentions to harm the Jiaolong ship, he preemptively captured them and imprisoned them in a secret chamber on the Jiaolong ship.

However, to his surprise, the people of the Atlan Empire were so patient and tolerant.

After they captured the people from Red Cake Country and India, the two were still able to remain hidden on the Jiaolong ship.

They were waiting for the right moment to send the photographs back to the Atlantean Empire.

If they hadn't installed special signaling devices on the Jiaolong ship, it would have been very difficult to detect their presence.

Now, seeing that these two dared to show such an expression in front of the king, he naturally could not tolerate it.

Yang Xia waved to Bai Huai'an, signaling him to stand up, and then turned his gaze to the two spies from the Atlan Empire.

He asked calmly, "You want to kill me?"

Jesse and Tiffany looked at Yang Xia calmly, adopting an arrogant attitude of "that's right, what can you do about it?"

Seeing how arrogant these two were, Bai Huai'an couldn't help but kick them both again!
After kicking the two men to the ground, Bai Huai'an turned his gaze to Yang Xia and respectfully asked, "These two came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to gather information. Should we deal with them first and then send their bodies back to the Atlan Empire?"

Yang Xia felt that this proposal was the best solution.

The Atlantean Empire's covetousness of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a recent development.

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty was exposed to the world, it has attracted the attention of countless forces.

Among them, the actions of the Atlantean Empire were the most outrageous.

They were even more intolerant of the Great Zhou Dynasty's repeated use of things that made them wary.

If we cannot seize the Great Zhou Dynasty, then we can only destroy it.

The ambitions of the Atlantean Empire have long been obvious.

To instill fear in the Atlan Empire, we must first give them a taste of their power.

Sending their bodies back to the Atlan Empire to instill fear in them would be a good idea.

After listening to Bai Huai'an's suggestion, Yang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the seat.

The sound was crisp and melodious, tinkling and clear.

However, to Jesse and Tiffany, it sounded like a call from hell.

Upon hearing this voice, they trembled involuntarily, and the way they looked at Yang Xia changed.

Jesse shouted frantically at Yang Xia, "The victor is king, the loser is villain; what is there to fear in death!"

"Yang Xia, you deserve to die! Your existence has hindered the interests of so many people! Just you wait, they won't let you get away with this!" Tiffany roared madly.

"Is that so?" Yang Xia's face showed a strange expression after hearing their words, and then he stood up from his seat.

He walked down the steps and approached the two of them step by step.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing Yang Xia about to approach the two, Shaoyao's worried expression deepened, and she couldn't help but call out.

Yang Xia raised his hand to signal Shaoyao to stop. He walked step by step to the two people lying on the ground, a look of disdain on his face, and sneered, "You two?"

Yang Xia's voice was as cold as the cry of a dead soul from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Jesse and Tiffany stared in horror at what was in front of them, noticing a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of bewilderment deep in Yang Xia's eyes.

Do they really have the ability to fight back?

They weren't sure either.

Ever since they disembarked from the Jiaolong ship and saw the layout of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its formidable military strength, doubts began to grow in their hearts.

Can the Atlan Empire truly become a match for the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was located on a small island.

However, the size of this island is comparable to that of the Atlantean Empire.

Its demonstrated military strength and reserves are fully comparable to those of any major power in the world.

They had already witnessed the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Those soldiers were not only well-equipped, but also strong and imposing.

More importantly, their eyes shone with unwavering determination.

These people are like sparks that, once ignited, will be unstoppable and could even completely crush the Atlantean Empire.

Now, Yang Xia was standing right in front of them, and they were powerless to fight back.

This is much like the contest between the Atlantean Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that moment, their spirits immediately dissipated.

Bai Huai'an stood by, fully focused and ready for battle.

As long as these two show any signs of being detrimental to Yang Xia, he will definitely take action immediately without hesitation.

To his great surprise, after revealing their murderous intent, the two men lay motionless on the ground as if their souls had been taken away, as if they had lost all hope and despair.

Having witnessed countless instances of the fickleness of human nature, Bai Huai'an could easily understand the reasons behind it all.

These two have lost their confidence. Even if they were freed now, they might not have the courage to attack Yang Xia.

Those who are heartbroken are the easiest to defeat.

Upon noticing this scene, Bai Huai'an's eyes flashed with admiration, and his gaze toward Yang Xia became more respectful.

Your Majesty truly lives up to your reputation as the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His every word and action seemed to carry an invisible authority, and his words carried the weight of law.

To be able to completely destroy the confidence of these two people with just a few words—that takes immense power!
When Yang Xia saw the moment their confidence crumbled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

These two are quite good at putting on an act.

Ever since he uttered the words "You guys?", the expressions of the two men underwent a complete transformation.

From initial high spirits, they instantly became like a stagnant pool, devoid of any life.

They are all elites carefully selected and rigorously trained.

Logically speaking, they should be the backbone of the Atlan Empire.

Their mental fortitude should also be much stronger than that of the average person.

How could we easily admit defeat in the face of such a small setback?

There is obviously something wrong with this.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yang Xia made no sound, merely glancing at them indifferently before taking a step back.

Then he said to Bai Huai'an, "I am very interested in your suggestion. Let's do as you say. It's time to make an example of someone!"

"Yes!" Bai Huai'an agreed without hesitation.

This is something he's always wanted to do.

If Yang Xia hadn't asked him to bring these two people to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would have dealt with them on the Jiaolong ship.

These two are different from the people from the Red Cake Country and India.

The people of Red Cake Country are indeed spineless and ambitious.

Such people must be sent back, and then an opportunity must be found to completely eliminate them to prevent future troubles.

The people of India are simple-minded and act on impulse, posing no threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even if we let them go back and give them a second chance, they might not be able to cause any harm to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of these people, the two from the Atlantean Empire in front of them were the most troublesome.

The people of the Atlan Empire are brave and resourceful, and they know how to be patient and bide their time. They can also adapt flexibly to different situations. Once they find that the situation is unfavorable to them, they can immediately humble themselves and compromise.

Such people are the most terrifying.

They are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows.

Once you lower your guard, they will definitely seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore, upon hearing Yang Xia's decision, Bai Huai'an's eyes naturally revealed a hint of excitement, and he eagerly stared at the two spies from the Atlan Empire.

The two spies from the Atlan Empire were also stunned by Yang Xia's decision.

They looked at Yang Xia in disbelief.

They've already admitted defeat, so why does Yang Xia still want to take their lives?
Their sudden admission of weakness was not without purpose.

This was all to show weakness in front of Yang Xia and make him lower his guard.

It would be best if they could return to the Atlan Empire safely.

But Yang Xia's next words made them feel as if they had fallen into an abyss, and their whole bodies turned cold.

Are we really going to send their bodies back to the Atlan Empire?

If the two of them were to return to the Atlan Empire in such a manner, it would certainly cause a huge uproar and unrest throughout the country.

At that time, the Atlantean Empire will lose all confidence, and what will it use to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"It is your own fault and you will not live!"

"This can be considered your final resting place!" Yang Xia said calmly, then waved to Bai Huai'an, signaling him to deal with the two of them.

Tiffany and Jesse were both startled and trembled.

Yang Xia's words really frightened them. They had never expected that Yang Xia would be such a decisive person, giving them no room for explanation at all.

How did the Atlan Empire end up provoking such people?

Previously on the Jiaolong ship, they thought they had hidden themselves very well and had not revealed the slightest flaw.

Even now, they still can't figure out how the crew on the ship detected their presence and managed to pinpoint their location with such precision.

There's no need to elaborate on the people from India and the Red Cake Country.

The people of India are simple-minded and act impulsively and recklessly; the people of Red Pancake Country, on the other hand, are ruthless and vicious!

People from neither of these two countries were within the Atlan Empire's sphere of influence.

Therefore, after boarding the ship, they had no intention of talking or exchanging words with the people of these two countries.

Seeing the people from India and Japan encounter trouble on the Jiaolong ship, they were actually quite happy. Although they pretended to be cautious on the surface, they felt extremely pleased inside.

After all, they believed they were the best at hiding themselves.

But when the group surrounded them, a sense of desolation, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox, suddenly welled up in their hearts.

If I had known things would turn out this way, I should have cultivated good relations with India and the people of the Red Pancake Country in the first place.

If they had joined forces with those two countries as soon as they boarded the ship, they wouldn't be in this predicament now.

Seeing the Royal Guards about to drag them away, Tiffany and Jesse could no longer hold on. Their legs gave way, and they collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

"Waaaah, don't kill us! We still have some use!"

"We possess a wealth of intelligence about the Atlan Empire. If you release us, we will hand it over to the Great Zhou Dynasty free of charge!"

The two were crying with tears streaming down their faces, and judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be lying.

Upon hearing what the two men said, Yang Xia immediately raised his hand.

When the Imperial Guards around Yang Xia raised his hand, they immediately stopped what they were doing and stood neatly to the side, their postures as upright as pine trees.

The two men lying on the ground watched as the Imperial Guards were so well-trained and obeyed orders, their expressions growing increasingly gloomy, and their hearts sinking lower and lower.

Such a Great Zhou Dynasty is simply beyond the capabilities of their Atlan Empire. Their leader is utterly foolish; how could he have sent them to the Great Zhou Dynasty as spies?
They were the most elite team in the Atlan Empire, and their secret was discovered by the crew of the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as they boarded the ship.

Moreover, these crew members were merely ordinary members of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With such keen insight, one would be a highly valued talent in any country.

Only the Great Zhou Dynasty would assign these talents to the Jiaolong warship, letting them serve as ordinary crew members.

Not only are the ordinary crew members so capable, but even the Imperial Guards and Royal Guards responsible for security on the Jiaolong ship are all heroic and imposing.

Any one of them could easily take on ten opponents.

How could the Atlantean Empire possibly match such a powerful army? (End of Chapter)
