Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

When Henry, who was in the Presidential Palace, heard Qin Quan's voice, he was struck dumb. His hair stood on end, and he jumped up from his seat, his voice trembling.

"What...what are you doing in the command center? How are you able to use the dedicated phone line?"

"How can we invite you to watch the fireworks if you don't come to the command center?"

Qin Quan chuckled and countered with a question, his gentle words carrying an extreme madness that sent chills down Henry's spine.

In that instant, a terrifying thought flashed through Henry's mind, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.

"You...you're talking about fireworks...could it be...?"

"Australia has too much ammunition stockpile. It's not only an eyesore but also takes up space, so I'm just helping you clean it out. Don't thank me right away, just call me Lei Feng."

Before Henry could answer, Qin Quan had already pressed the red button on the control panel.

Rumble!

A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out!

Hundreds of medium- and long-range missiles were launched, streaking across the sky with fiery blue tail flames, and heading precisely to the high seas.

"Your Excellency, your office has a good view; you should be able to see clearly."

Looking out the window at the dense array of missiles, Qin Quan smiled and asked:

Are you satisfied with this fireworks display?

"You're insane! You're a complete and utter madman!"

Henry completely broke down, slumping helplessly in his chair, his heart filled with endless fear.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qin Quan gave a forced smile. "Remember today. Don't try to provoke me, and don't try to use public opinion to suppress China. Otherwise, today's fireworks will explode in the Presidential Palace."

Clang!

The phone hangs up.

All that came through the receiver was a cold, busy tone.

Henry was completely exhausted, as if all his muscles and bones had been removed. He slumped in the presidential chair, his face ashen.

He covered his face, filled with despair.

"What sins have I committed... how did I end up offending such a living devil..."

Boom boom boom!

Before Henry could recover from his fear, there was a knock on his office door.

Immediately afterwards, a group of councilors rushed in.

The office was packed with people, all looking anxious and questioning.

"Mr. President, what exactly happened? Why were hundreds of missiles launched?"

"Your sudden announcement of returning the Dragon Kingdom's cultural relics has thoroughly angered the White Eagle Alliance. Now, if you launch missiles again without cause, our Australia Kingdom simply cannot afford the consequences."

A barrage of questions followed, harsh and noisy.

The pent-up fear and rage completely overwhelmed Henry's reason. He slammed his fist on the desk and roared angrily:

"Shut up, all of you!"

Swish!

The entire room was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone froze, staring incredulously at the president's outburst of rage.

Henry's eyes were bloodshot, filled with terror, and he exuded an aura of lingering fear.

"Do you think I want to cause trouble for myself? Instead of questioning me here, why don't you head to the military command center right now and see for yourself what's going on!"

He took a deep breath and quickly issued the instructions.

"The press office immediately issued a statement saying that the missile launch was purely for the destruction of stockpiles and had no military malice whatsoever. Everyone else, immediately follow me to the command center."

Everyone present was a seasoned politician, and they could tell at a glance that Henry was not in a good mood.

Then he mentioned the command center again and again.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat at the same time, and the same thought instantly popped into their minds.

Something terrible has happened, a truly enormous thing.

……

Meanwhile, at the Australia-Asia International Airport.

The entire airport had long been sealed off by military and police, with strict controls on all entry and exit channels and checks that were abnormally stringent.

Especially for travelers from China, they were checked and questioned one by one, and if anything seemed amiss, they were taken away for separate interrogation.

With such a tight defense, ordinary people have no way to avoid it.

But Qin Quan disdained taking the conventional route.

He bypassed all the surveillance cameras, flashed over the barbed wire fence, quickly arrived at the tarmac, and quietly boarded the plane in the last gap before the flight doors closed, taking his seat in his own seat.

The entire process proceeded smoothly without any abnormalities.

The plane took off smoothly.

It wasn't until an hour after takeoff that airport staff belatedly discovered the fatal oversight.

"That's not right! Qin Quan, a passenger from China, has no security check record, yet the flight is full!"

"Immediately check, retrieve all surveillance footage, and contact the control tower to coordinate with the flight!"

In an instant, the entire airport ground staff was thrown into chaos, and everyone urgently reviewed and investigated the situation.

However, the plane had already flown out of Australia's airspace.

Hospital ward.

When Evan, who was recovering from his injury, first heard the news, he didn't take it to heart.

With so many passengers at the airport, it's quite normal to miss one person during the check.

However, after Qian Tai, Fang Mushou, and their group hurriedly added the crucial information, his expression changed.

He was furious, his hair stood on end, and he was burning with rage.

"What did you say? Qin Quan is Lin Wanrou's bodyguard?"

Qian Tai nodded emphatically, "It's definitely him. I guarantee it. His purpose in coming to Aoya Country is to obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass!"

Fang Mushou gritted his teeth and echoed, "That's right! If he hadn't secretly stolen the Spirit Gathering Grass, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties, becoming easy prey for others!"

"Fuck!"

Upon hearing this, Evan slammed his hand on the bedside table, his eyes burning with anger and remorse.

This group of people has been slow to report such a crucial clue.

Those incompetent people at the airport only discovered the anomaly an hour after letting everyone go.

"Investigate! Find the intermediate stop for this flight immediately!"

Despite his injuries, Evan gave the order in a stern voice.

"Report! This flight is refueling and transiting at an Indonesian airport!"

"Immediately contact local forces in Indonesia and establish full-scale control."

A ruthless glint flashed in Evan's eyes. "The Spirit-Gathering Grass must be on the flight. This time, we can't let him escape, no matter what!"

Even after the order was given, he still felt uneasy.

So he dialed the White Eagle Alliance headquarters hotline again and reported all the intelligence, clues, and his own speculations.

Upon learning of the whereabouts of the Spirit Gathering Grass, headquarters immediately issued the highest-level interception order.

Eighteen genetic warriors were dispatched to the Indonesian airport to intercept Qin Quan and retrieve the spiritual herb at all costs.

……

A few hours later, over Indonesia's international airport.

The cabin announcement came on time: "Ladies and gentlemen, this flight is about to land at Indonesian International Airport. The layover is expected to be one hour. Please disembark in an orderly manner and proceed to the waiting area."

The plane landed smoothly, and all passengers disembarked in an orderly manner for their connecting transfers, following instructions.

However, the moment everyone stepped into the waiting area, they were all stunned.

The airport tarmac and boarding gates were completely blocked by fully armed military and police personnel.

Dozens of burly, imposing men in black stood in formation, their presence overwhelming the entire area.

"Seale off the entire area, open each box one by one, and search thoroughly!"

At the leader's command, a large number of people rushed forward.

Whether it was carry-on items on the overhead luggage racks or checked baggage in the cargo hold, everything was violently torn apart and turned into a mess.

Passengers in the waiting area witnessed this blatant search and were immediately enraged, with shouts of anger and protests erupting everywhere.

Some people took out their phones to take pictures as evidence, while others directly called the airline to file a series of complaints.

The entire waiting area was in chaos.

Qin Quan leaned back calmly in the lounge chair, observing the entire scene with detached indifference, but his mind was perfectly clear.

"No matter how much you planned, you would never have imagined that I would have stored over a thousand Spirit Gathering Grasses in a treasure bag the size of a palm."
