“He’s catching up!”

“Beware of that silver light.”

“What’s wrong with the weather?”

“No, we can’t escape.”

“The missile has been stopped again.”

“Reinforcements, we need reinforcements!”

As the last fighter jet lost contact, the whole headquarters sank into a strange silence.

The adjutant officer walked to the commander’s side and said, “Sir, the entire force...”

The commander asked, “How far away is the nearest fighter jet? How long will it take to reach them?”

“At least half an hour, Sir,” the adjutant officer replied, “And we still have not managed to break through the opponent’s superpowers. Our usual weapons have no effect on him.”

The commander shut his eyes and exhaled slowly. “I understand. Report to the higher ups that we have failed our mission. The opponent... the opponent has the power to fight a normal army.”

After the adjutant officer left, the commander remained silent for a moment. He stared at the screenshot of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon clad in armor flying in midair, with the blurred image of a man standing on top of the dragon heads.

Upon receiving news of the utter defeat of the 12 supersonic fighter jets, all the European authorities went into a state of panic.

“Superpowers can reach that level of prowess?”

“This mastermind is a threat to the security of the whole of Europe.”

“It must be the Americans.”

“It’s China’s secret weapon!”

“Investigate them. Find out who they are!”

“We must organize and set up a new unit to deal with these superlives.”

Zhao Yao’s actions over the past few days caused an invisible wave of panic to spread throughout the world, with Europe as its starting point.

Various countries and forces expanded their investments and resources into the creation of superpowers. Many powers that had been considered dangerous were incorporated into the field once again and subjected to use by humans.

Research projects on weapons for singular attacks that were initially cast aside because of their huge investment costs and narrow range of uses were brought up once again by various countries.

The incident could be said to have had a great impact on the course of world history.

However, Zhao Yao, the person who started all of this, was totally ignorant about all that was about to happen. He stared in satisfaction at the 1000 experience points he gained from completing the mission.

He ordered Cat Sage to land. Upon landing, he saw Roly Poly and Catherine running towards them as he remained standing on top of the golden dragonheads. Both cats looked worn down with lost fur and scratches on their bodies. Their eyes lit up when they saw the huge golden dragon.

“So cool!” Roly Poly stared at the huge dragon and Zhao Yao stood on top of it as he thought expectantly, “If I could sit on top of Cat Sage’s head and fly across the sky that would be awesome.”

Catherine sighed out of relief. “Cat Sage, are you alright?”

Cat Sage nodded and replied happily, “My condition now has never been better.”

Zhao Yao waved and said, “Come up, let’s just fight our way there.”

Roly Poly and Catherine jumped on the dragon’s tail and ran all the way up to the dragon’s head before Dust Ball swallowed them into her stomach.

The Tri-headed Golden Dragon stared at pilots slowly landing with their parachutes, blinking his dragon eyes as he asked, “Should we kill them?”

“No need, let’s not waste time and go straight to the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters.” Zhao Yao checked the time and continued, “I don’t want to waste more diamonds.”

His Power Up card had a time limit to it.

Hence, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon burst off into the sky once again and headed towards the Double-Headed Vulture headquarters.

...

In a village deep in some mountains, sentinels stood guard everywhere. There were fully armed criminals all around. This was the base camp of the Double-Headed Vulture.

Thousands of tons of drugs were stored in the village. Thousands of daily horror stories throughout Europe could be said to have originated here.

More than 50 Dragonhawk apostles and over 500 rogue apostles trained to kill and do all sorts of evil deeds were stationed in the village perennially.

At that moment, in a courtyard within the village, a fat old man with long hair was lying on a deck chair. His face was full of rage.

He screamed out in English, “Where’s my son? Where did they go?”

A few hours earlier, Karim realized that he lost all contact with his five sons’ most powerful allies. He was like an enraged lion and all the subordinates around him trembled in fear.

A feminine man walked over to Karim and comforted him, “Uncle, don’t worry. This might just be a coincidence. Edron and the rest are in a precarious situation so it’s not surprising that our communication got cut off temporarily.”

The person speaking was Charles, the strongest apostle among the seven Dragon Slayers in Dragonhawk.

Upon seeing Charles, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Karim calmed down as well and said to Charles, “But this is too much of a coincidence. Five of your cousins lost contact with us at once, I’m afraid someone is after us.”

“Relax, Uncle,” Charles smiled, “I already implemented martial law in the village. The stocks in the inventory are being reorganized as well. I have gathered all the members of Dragonhawk in the village and stationed all soldiers on guard, raising our defense to the highest level. Even if the government sends an army here, we will be able to retreat with ease.”

Karim patted Charles’ shoulder and said, “Great, Charles, I don’t need to worry with you around.”

At that moment, noises were heard from outside. Two apostles walked in grabbing a young man in their hands as they said to Karim, “My Lord, this guy was secretly making a phone call just now.”

The young man who was dragged in let out a breath as he sighed in his heart, “D*mn, why did that stupid government official suddenly contact me just now. I took so many pains to infiltrate into this place. It wasn’t all that easy for me either.”

Looking at the surrounding armed rogue apostles and the Dragonhawk apostles, the young man lost hope. “If only I had my superpower, I might still be able to escape then. Looking at the situation now, I will die for sure.”

An apostle can only borrow a power for 24 hours. Hence, though he was an apostle as well, he was not able to borrow a superpower after infiltrating into the village.

Initially, he wanted to find a chance to expose his potential as an apostle to join the Dragonhawk unit in Double-Headed Vulture. However, he did not expect the officer to contact him suddenly that day. The officer told him that someone was after the Double-Headed Vulture. Karim’s five sons had already been killed and the opponent would attack the village anytime then so he should seize the opportunity to gather as much information about the opponent as possible.

“B*stard, didn’t I tell him not to contact me unless it’s urgent? Now I’m really going to die.”

Karim took over the thing handed to him by his subordinate and asked coldly, “A satellite phone? Which country’s police are you from?”

The young man smiled, “This is a satellite phone? I picked it up somewhere. I don’t know what function it has.”

Karim said calmly, “Break one of his legs.”

As he saw an apostle walk over, the young man started rambling nervously, “It’s not my phone. It really isn’t...” The next moment, he charged towards the apostle and punched him as he reached for the apostle’s gun in his holster.

He whipped out the handgun and aimed at Karim as he shouted, “Raise your hands! Or I’ll shoot!”
