Chapter 971 - 373: Willpower Country Instance Ends
The standoff was over.
This standoff lasted two hours.
In the end, it concluded with Great Xia exerting its power.
Initially, Yin Mengwei and her group’s hearts were in their throats.
But they realized that those around them had all lowered their guns.
Additionally, those fierce-looking people from before now wore smiles.
They approached and communicated in somewhat awkward English.
Basically, the message they conveyed was:
"We’ll watch over these prisoners for you, and we’ll also help you take them to the airplane at the airport. Hurry and go upstairs to audit the finances, and save some time. Once you’re done, we can all call it a day earlier."
Huh?
What’s going on?!
The Extraordinary Reserve Squad and the Ninth Bureau staff were stunned.
This sudden contrast was a bit too stark.
Although they all knew that things would eventually resolve.
So they weren’t actually nervous inside.
But they didn’t expect things to develop this way.
What on earth was this sudden enthusiasm!
They glanced over at Director Chen Qiutong with questioning looks.
After receiving Director Chen’s affirmative nod, their hearts finally settled.
Since someone had come to help, there was nothing much to say.
They decided to let the locals take the people to the airport.
And then quickly went upstairs to audit the finances.
Meanwhile, Yorkshire didn’t drag its feet and split into several teams to catch those who just fled.
If they didn’t take action, those people would’ve really gotten away.
But once they took action, heh, as long as you’re in Willpower Country, no matter how hidden a corner you flee to, they’ll find a way to drag you out and bring you back.
"Director Chen, apologies for any inconvenience this time. I hope it won’t affect our future cooperation."
By now, the standoff had ended.
The tense atmosphere between the two had vanished without a trace.
Chen Qiutong said with a smile, "We’ve known each other for so many years; this little thing won’t affect our relationship."
"It’s just a small misunderstanding. Once it’s cleared up, it’s all good, no big deal."
The two exchanged smiles, understanding each other’s stance.
Director Chen didn’t linger either, yawning as he left.
Going back to catch up on sleep.
"Ah, as you age, you really start to slow down."
Director Chen left.
The Ninth Bureau staff and the members of the Extraordinary Reservists all went upstairs to verify the funds.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of another building.
The president of the Willpower Country’s branch was being lashed by the cold wind on the rooftop.
He was sitting on the parapet wall of the rooftop, pulled there by Zhang Beixing.
Cold winds endlessly slapped against his face.
Because of this building’s height, he could see the situation downstairs very clearly.
Though not that clearly.
He could still grasp the general situation.
This president saw with his own eyes, a large number of uniformed people coming to help, and it seemed they were about to take down the Ninth Bureau people.
Then a group of people arrived, and he identified their identity—they were from the Great Xia consulate.
The two groups immediately faced off.
A few dozen minutes later, the standoff was over.
Initially, he thought it was Willpower Country’s reinforcements having the upper hand, but surprise, it was the consulate people who prevailed.
Soon, this president saw his people being taken over by those in uniform, and then staff from the Ninth Bureau going upstairs.
Although he couldn’t see what they were doing upstairs, with a little thought, anyone could guess. What else could they be doing upstairs at this point?
Tapping into his money!
Zhang Beixing stood next to him, hands resting on the parapet, after watching the scene, turned slightly to look at the president, smiling warmly.
"I just received a message, looks like my deportation has been canceled."
"So, I’m not in a hurry now, President, I’ve got plenty of time to spend with you."
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak. Let’s see what you’d like to play—I could take you bungee jumping from a tall mountain without safety gear."
"I could also take you diving in the sea without oxygen."
"Or maybe we can take a trip to the desert."
"Anyway, I have nothing better to do, looking for some thrills, why don’t you accompany me?"
"..."
Everything Zhang Beixing mentioned was life-threatening.
With every suggestion Zhang Beixing made, the president’s face turned a shade greener.
He could tell Zhang Beixing wasn’t joking. He seemed serious about doing it.
It was simply outrageous.
For Zhang Beixing, these challenges were no big deal, but for him, each one was potentially fatal!
Before Zhang Beixing became a Transcendent, he successfully tackled the so-called Oizaki’s Eight Challenges.
Now he’s already a Transcendent, and based on their intelligence, he seems to have ascended to a higher level within the Transcendent realm.
The current Transcendent, in strict terms, can’t even be considered human!
Yes!
Not human!
For Zhang Beixing, these challenges might not be as simple as drinking water or eating food.
But at most, they’re as difficult as a regular person climbing a small hill.
Just a routine matter.
"Minister Zhang, Minister Zhang!"
"What exactly do you want? Just tell me directly, will you?"
