Xu Jinsong stood in place without moving.
Everyone's gaze followed Number Three to Xu Jinsong, instantly making him the most conspicuous person in the scene.
Robinson and Isaac seemed to have thought of something, their lips curling into a sneer.
Tsuda Ryunosuke asked confusedly, "Number Three, have you lost your mind? This isn't Number Four, but the super soldier king from the Northeast Military Region of Huaguo, codenamed 'Brute Bear.' It's not even worth mentioning, this bastard has been targeting our Toukai, killing many of our warriors."
Over the years, Toukai had been infiltrating the Three Provinces, only to have many killed by Brute Bear.
As long as Brute Bear remained in the Three Provinces, Toukai's plans could not succeed.
This made Tsuda Ryunosuke hate Xu Jinsong to the bone.
Number Three smiled at Xu Jinsong, "Welcome home, my brother. You have performed excellently over the years and received commendation from headquarters. I hope you can continue to do so. However, our current goal is to kill Chen Jin Zhao!"
A stern smile gradually appeared on Xu Jinsong's cold face.
At the same time.
Chen Jin Zhao also looked at Xu Jinsong beside him.
Meeting Chen Jin Zhao's gaze, Xu Jinsong sneered, "Candle Dragon, this is a surprise I have for you. I hope you'll like it."
As his voice fell.
Xu Jinsong walked to Number Three and stood with them.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Chen Jin Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I truly didn't expect you to be Number Four from the Divine Kingdom Laboratory. I trusted you completely at first."
"Did I disappoint you?" Xu Jinsong mocked.
Before Chen Jin Zhao could answer, he continued, "The Divine Kingdom is my benefactor. I grew up in the Divine Kingdom Laboratory from a young age; this is my home. Everything I did before was merely to gain the trust of the military. I never expected to become the captain of the special forces."
"Looking back now, it feels like a dream."
Chen Jin Zhao wanted to say something.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary.
"You hid too deeply. If it weren't for this operation, you would probably still be hiding? And then, when you became someone in a high position, you would repay the Divine Kingdom Research Institute."
Xu Jinsong smiled and said, "You're very smart."
"But I haven't truly exposed myself yet. After you die, I will still be the Brute Bear of the Northeast Military Region. If I can take your place in Xu Han Chen's heart, I might become one of the top three giants in the military in the future."
The thought of this made Chen Jin Zhao's scalp tingle.
The Divine Kingdom Research Institute had laid a grand plan over the years, intending to turn both the black and white pieces on the entire chessboard into their own people.
What terrifying methods!
Tsuda Ryunosuke finally understood what was going on and also laughed heartily, "What a brilliant scheme! So Brute Bear is actually from the Divine Kingdom. Why didn't you tell us earlier, or why didn't you restrain this brute and let him slaughter our Toukai powerhouses?"
As he said these words, Tsuda Ryunosuke still felt indignant and puzzled.
Number Three smiled faintly, "We had to play the part completely, otherwise how could we gain the trust of the Northeast Military Region?"
Tsuda Ryunosuke was speechless.
"Let the past be the past. Our goal now is to kill Chen Jin Zhao. With Brute Bear's support, dealing with Chen Jin Zhao will be much easier, won't it?" Robinson Rose said with a faint smile. Isaac couldn't help but laugh, sneering, "Candle Dragon's helper has become one of us. The upcoming situation is very interesting. With our strength increasing and his decreasing, he's no match for us."
Everyone agreed with this view.
Number Three looked up at Chen Jin Zhao, "Candle Dragon, with Number Four, are there enough people?"
Chen Jin Zhao stretched his muscles and bones, saying, "Five S-class powerhouses on the list are indeed qualified to fight me."
"Today, either I kill all of you, or all of you kill me."
Everyone's expressions sharpened.
Even though they all wished for Chen Jin Zhao's death, the aura he displayed inspired their respect. Their way of expressing respect was simple—
Give it their all and kill Chen Jin Zhao!
Xu Jinsong suddenly said, "Candle Dragon, what I promised you before still stands."
He was referring to the arrangements after Chen Jin Zhao's death.
Chen Jin Zhao smiled, "I hope you keep your word. Thank you."
Number Three was eager to fight, preparing for a one-on-one duel with Chen Jin Zhao. He said with a smile, "They say Candle Dragon is invincible. I'd like to spar with you. Our duel will be simple, deciding both victory and death. What do you say?"
"Compared to Number One, how is your strength?" Chen Jin Zhao asked.
Number Three still smiled, "My strength is certainly not as good as Number One's, but it's not far off. I believe I have more than enough strength to kill you."
Chen Jin Zhao shook his head, "Then you should let Number One come."
Number Three frowned, clearly displeased.
Was he looking down on him?
The atmosphere in the laboratory grew increasingly tense, the two sides locked in a confrontation.
Tsuda Ryunosuke suddenly interjected, "Forget it, let me do it. I've long heard that Huaguo's Candle Dragon is unparalleled. My Toukai wishes to experience it. Please give me this honor."
"I have no objections," said Robinson Rose.
He only cared about Chen Jin Zhao's death; he didn't care who killed him. If he didn't have to do it himself, that would naturally be best.
Isaac also said, "I have no objections either."
Tsuda Ryunosuke finally looked at Number Three and Xu Jinsong. Xu Jinsong shook his head. Number Three hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, you go ahead. But be careful of Chen Jin Zhao. As far as we know, Chen Jin Zhao's strength is fully capable of ranking among the top three in the global individual combat rankings."
"Don't worry, I won't lose," Tsuda Ryunosuke said with great confidence.
He caressed the katana at his waist and said softly, "Old friend, today you will fight with me again, to slay a dragon!"
Chen Jin Zhao's gaze swept across Number Three and the others, "Are you sure you're not sending anyone else? Just one Toukai devil isn't enough for me to chew on."
Tsuda Ryunosuke, insulted, became furious. He snorted through his nostrils, "Chen Jin Zhao, put away your contemptuous attitude. There isn't a huge gap in strength between S-class powerhouses. If you continue to underestimate me, you will pay a heavy price."
"My precious sword has been thirsty for blood for a long time. I'll use your blood to quench it!"
"Chen Jin Zhao, come up and die!"
The two sides stood in the middle of the laboratory.
This was a large open space, usually used for stacking materials and waste, which had now been cleared.
Chen Jin Zhao discarded his rifle and then wiped the blade of the 'Tai Sui' with his clothes, murmuring, "Fight with me one more time."
*Buzz!*
The blade of the Tai Sui vibrated, as if responding to Chen Jin Zhao's murmur.
Tsuda Ryunosuke saw the Tai Sui in Chen Jin Zhao's hand, his eyelids twitching wildly. He felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity from this unassuming three-edged dagger.
"Where did you get that knife?"
