Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

"What...exactly have we messed with?"

Scarface's mutterings, clearly transmitted through his still-on loudspeaker, echoed throughout the departure hall.

This is a common sentiment shared by all members of the "Heavenly Punishment" team in the hall.

They have faced government forces in the Middle East and Africa, and have also encountered ambushes by rebels. What kind of tough battles haven't they fought? But they have never felt such a pure, soul-deep fear as they do today.

This was not an evenly matched battle.

This is a dimensional reduction attack.

Their pride in their individual combat skills and their fierce killing intent, which they relied on for survival, appeared so laughable and so vulnerable in the face of the steel-like riot shields, the dark standard rifles, and the armored vehicles exuding an aura of death in the distance.

This is no longer a war; it is a one-sided crushing defeat.

Lu Jingyan looked at the faces in the hall, which had gone from arrogance to terror, and from terror to despair, without a ripple in his eyes.

This is exactly the effect he was waiting for.

To deal with this group of desperados, any verbal warnings would be futile. Only by using a stronger and more absolute force could their barbaric logic of "might makes right" be completely shattered.

He raised the megaphone again, and this time, his voice was colder and louder than before, like a god from the heavens proclaiming the final judgment.

"Listen up, you people inside!"

"You are surrounded!"

"I'll say it one more time: immediately drop your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, and walk out of the hall! This is your only way out!"

"Resistance will only lead to death!"

This classic surrender appeal echoed through the loudspeaker under the massive terminal dome, each utterance like a heavy hammer blow, slamming into the fragile psychological defenses of the "Heavenly Punishment" team members.

"Clang!"

It's unclear who was the first to succumb to the immense pressure, but the submachine gun in their hand fell onto the smooth floor tiles with a crisp sound.

This sound is like a signal.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sounds of weapons falling echoed throughout the room.

Those mercenaries who had been so fierce just moments before now seemed to have had their spines ripped out. They threw down their weapons in a panic, raised their hands high, and their faces were filled with fear.

Scarface looked at his men who had instantly lost their fighting spirit, then at the armed police line outside that was slowly advancing, and finally at the MMS message on his phone that was still stuck on the "his hideout has been taken down" screen. In the end, the nerve he had called "dignity" snapped completely.

He threw away the megaphone and was the first to raise his hands.

"Don't shoot! We surrender! We surrender!"

He roared, his voice trembling with sobs.

At this moment, all the bullshit orders from the "God of War" and the glory of "divine punishment" were thrown to the winds.

All he wanted was to live.

In the live stream, tens of millions of viewers watched this farcical scene of "utter defeat," and the barrage of comments went completely wild.

[You're backing down already? Where did that "turn the airport into a Middle Eastern battlefield" spirit go?]

[This is hilarious! Before the armored vehicles of the People's Armed Police, all demons and monsters are just paper tigers!]

[Officer Lu is awesome! He didn't waste a single word, letting his actions speak for themselves! That's a real man!]

[It is suggested that this video be made into an annual recruitment propaganda film, titled "Those who offend China, though far away, shall be punished... even those close at hand!"]

A potentially serious incident that could have sparked international conflict is about to be resolved peacefully in a near-crushing manner.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as Scarface was preparing to lead his "defeated troops" out of the hall to surrender.

"Who dares to move!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded from outside the airport!

The voice was filled with boundless majesty and killing intent, as if it carried a tangible power, causing everyone present to feel a chill.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Outside the armed police defense line, a man in a black trench coat was walking against the flow of people, step by step towards them.

He walked slowly, but each step seemed to land on some special point, carrying a strange sense of oppression. The travelers and police around him subconsciously made way for him, as if an invisible wall of air isolated him from the world.

He is Chu Tianjiao.

The man who emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the "Guardian God of War" whose mere name could make a small nation tremble.

"War...God of War!"

When Scarface saw the person who had arrived, the flame of hope was instantly rekindled in his eyes, which had been filled with despair!

He knew that as long as this man came, there was still a chance for things to turn around!

Chu Tianjiao ignored him and walked straight to the front of the armed police defense line, where he stopped.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes ignored the dark gun barrels, piercing through the crowd and locking onto Lu Jingyan directly in front of him.

Eyes facing each other.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

On one side is the "light of the rule of law," representing national order and law.

On the other side is the "Guardian God of War," representing personal strength and the law of the jungle.

Two completely different, yet equally powerful auras collided fiercely in the air, sparking invisible flames.

"You're Lu Jingyan?"

Chu Tianjiao spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Lu Jingyan did not answer.

He simply stared silently at the man before him. This was the culprit who had sent "death threats" to his family.

He could feel that the killing intent emanating from the other party was more intense than that of all the "protagonists" he had encountered before combined.

If Ye Fan was a raging wild dog, then the person in front of him was a real prehistoric beast that crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Release my men.

Chu Tianjiao's tone wasn't one of negotiation, but of command: "Then, hand over what you took from Ye Fan. I can pretend nothing happened."

"Otherwise," he paused, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, "there will be a lot of bloodshed here today."

Faced with this blatant threat, Lu Jingyan smiled.

He slowly raised the megaphone in his hand, not speaking to Chu Tianjiao, but instead issuing a final ultimatum to the dark mass of armed police and special police behind him.

His voice, amplified by loudspeakers, resounded throughout the night sky of Jinghai International Airport, filled with unquestionable authority and coldness.

"Listen up, God of War!"

"You are now surrounded."
