three days later.

The sky over the capital was gloomy.

The leaden-gray clouds hung low, as if they might fall at any moment.

Yan Hai and the others stood in front of Teng Ao.

He respectfully handed over a thick folder.

Inside are the sanatoriums they selected.

Each location is accompanied by real-life photos, an analysis of the surrounding environment, and an assessment of its accessibility.

Teng Ao took the folder, said nothing, and simply nodded.

My gaze fell on the first photo—

It was a tranquil place nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Then I quickly sent it to He Jing and Yan Ruge.

Dragon Kingdom, a naval base.

Three destroyers.

Two frigates.

A nuclear submarine sailed out of the port one after another.

Cutting through the azure sea, we sped towards the relevant waters.

An aircraft carrier conducting a training mission—

It broke through layers of waves on the sea surface and is approaching the relevant sea area.

In the sky, a formation of fighter jets roared past.

Live ammunition was mounted under the wings, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

On the distant sea, the vertical launch system of the missile destroyer was already activated, ready to launch at any time.

This is a live-fire exercise, and also a disguised form of stern warning.

Li Weiguo's department—

All intelligence personnel worked tirelessly, day and night, like wound-up machines.

The Ninth Division's elite forces were deployed that very night.

They arrested Chen Yifeng's bodyguards and all the security personnel at the Jinglong Club.

The bodyguard who helped Chen Yifeng investigate the switcheroo clues a few years ago—

He was pinned to the bed in his sleep, the cold metallic clang of the handcuffs particularly jarring in the night.

Fang Rong followed Zeng Linglong's instructions.

He led the Dragon Shadow team as if they were divine soldiers descending from the heavens.

They took the two men directly from Li Rui and Xiao Wei's home.

The whole process took less than two minutes, was clean and efficient, without a single gunshot, only the howling of the night wind.

Li Rui's legs were trembling as he was being led into the car with a hood over his head.

Xiao Wei was in even worse shape; his crotch was already soaked.

The weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder, and pedestrians on the street are wrapped up in their coats and hurrying by.

But everyone in the industry is even colder.

It was so cold that even in the well-heated room, they felt as if they were shivering in the cold wind.

The atmosphere in Beijing was becoming increasingly oppressive, making everyone in the industry breathe rapidly.

No one dared to step forward at this moment, and no one dared to say an extra word.

The atmosphere at the Chen family's old house became even more oppressive.

Mr. Chen Guoqing was completely panicked.

He paced back and forth in his study, his fingers trembling incessantly.

Chen Yifeng became anxious.

He dialed those numbers repeatedly, even though they were no longer working.

The phone was dropped on the ground, and the screen shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

Everyone in the Chen family felt like the sky had fallen.

Many countries around the world have received videos from the Dragon Kingdom.

That was footage of the Second Battalion's final use of biological and chemical weapons by terrorists; it was horrifying and outrageous.

As a result, condemnations were everywhere in official news outlets, websites, and social media around the world.

In a large northern country, a news anchor sits in a studio, his expression serious, his words sharp:

"This is an act against humanity!"

"Biological and chemical weapons have been strictly prohibited by the United Nations!"

"And terrorists attacked the special forces of a sovereign nation with biological and chemical weapons!"

"They also used biological and chemical weapons to attack an unidentified armed group."

"And the Chinese special forces were on a hostage rescue mission—"

"What conspiracy is behind this?"

"Who provided the terrorists with biological weapons?"

"It's all a mystery, and it fills us all with fear and keeps us up at night."

"Hopefully, the press conference in China two days from now will bring us good news—"

"Find the origin of the conspiracy and the mastermind behind it."

The television screen switched to a horrific video showing the Imperial Eye and other guards being attacked with biological weapons.

Those images filled everyone who saw them with fear, dread, and anger.

A figure writhing in agony.

Hands frantically scratching their face.

Bloodstains left by fingernails.

A desperate roar squeezed from the depths of his throat.

The announcer's voice rang out again:

"Judging from the timing of this video—"

"The Land of the Sun was attacked by missiles a few days ago—"

"Two cargo ships loaded with oil were destroyed without provocation!"

"Several high-ranking government officials were murdered by mysterious killers while at work or at home."

"Are these also terrorist attacks? That remains a mystery."

"The Republic of Japan is investigating this matter, but has not yet found any leads."

"The countries that launched the missiles have also offered explanations—"

"It is claimed that hackers infiltrated the launch system, causing the missile to be launched."

The scene shifts again, and images of riots in African country A come into view—

Thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky.

Intense fighting broke out between anti-government and government forces in the streets, and civilians fled in all directions.

"In addition, the riots in African country A have become uncontrollable."

"Anti-government forces and unidentified armed groups are engaged in fierce combat with government forces—"

"Country A is engulfed in war and is now embroiled in civil war."

"These three incidents have made the international situation increasingly tense."

"This station will continue to follow the developments of the situation involving all parties—"

"And we have already arranged for a senior journalist to attend the press conference in China two days from now—"

"We will be watching this press conference via live stream."

"We hope the Chinese government can give us and the global audience a surprise."

Hellfire War Room.

The large screen was lit up, showing the top-floor office of the Tengshi Group headquarters.

Xiaoya, Yanruge, and Anna, three girls, sat side by side, their eyes fixed on the screen.

The office was filled with financial traders from the last energy finance war.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

This time, it shocked them even more.

They stared at the terrifying sum of money displayed on the financial terminal in front of them—

Then there were zeros, so many that they had to count them several times before they could believe it, their blood was boiling.

The amount of money Zeng Linglong prepared this time.

It can be described as "horrifying," exceeding five times the scale of the last one.

This time, the Cosmic Organization and the Luo family have joined the fray—

Including the funds from Longyu Group and Longyu Financial!

Furthermore, they borrowed an astonishing amount of money from multinational banks and financial institutions in the Sun Country through collateral and guarantees.

Then, using leverage, they stormed into the stock markets of several major listed companies in the Sun Country in a swarm-like manner.

Once everything is ready!

The rage that had been brewing in the dark world for three days—

Finally, fueled by the Imperial Army, the Sai Army, and Hellfire, it completely erupted.

First, there was the attack on Zeng Linglong last time—

The terrorist organization left its remaining personnel behind.

When they heard that the Sun Kingdom had betrayed them, was ungrateful, and even wanted to silence them—

They fired the first shot like an ancient madman.

Then other terrorist groups rushed out of the base.

After the Imperial Armed Forces, the Cyborg Armed Forces, and Hellfire followed suit—

The world of mercenaries and the dark world have gone completely mad.

The overseas branches of several major car manufacturers in the United States were all subjected to fierce attacks.

This includes warehouses and port terminals, and even many 4S stores were not spared.

Flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and explosions rang out one after another.

Ye Feng stood alone on a sand dune in the Hellfire base.

The wind and sand made his clothes rustle and made his eyes squint into slits.

But his eyes still gleamed with a chilling light capable of freezing thousands of miles.

Pick up the phone with your right hand and quickly swipe your finger across the screen—

He directly issued the highest assassination order belonging to him, the Grim Reaper.

The order was issued, and shadow assassins from all over the world were mobilized simultaneously—

Like a venomous snake in the dark, it silently approaches its target.

Chaos.

The international situation has become completely chaotic.

Moreover, the chaos was completely unexpected and inexplicable.
