Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Merely With Their Reputation, They Made the Enemy Offer Their Heads Willingly (4th Update)
“For your own selfish interests, you drove an excellent instructor to flee to another country, yet out of a desire to flex your muscles, you sent an elite squad to assassinate him.”
“Every day you live in luxury in your office, either striking or yelling at your subordinates.”
“Given your extravagant desires and unpredictable cruelty, do you think you still qualify as a soldier?”
This string of accusations left Dmitry pale, “You… you’re trying to rebel, aren’t you?”
Nikita shook his head, “You’re wrong, Dmitry, I’m simply trying to save E country!”
“You’re not a fool, so you naturally understand what I mean by that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in such a hurry to escape!”
A look of despair appeared in Dmitry’s eyes as he dryly said, “Xue… Xue An?”
Nikita nodded, “You’re smart! So I won’t make it hard for you, just end it yourself!”
Dmitry’s expression suddenly turned exceedingly ugly.
He indeed wasn’t a fool, or else he wouldn’t have smelled danger the moment he received the news and rushed to escape.
Because only those at their level could deeply understand just how terrifying Xue An’s influence really was.
It could be said that if Xue An wanted to deal with any country now, he wouldn’t have to lift a finger himself; with a casual point, countless people would be willing to do the job for him.
All this was due to Xue An’s supreme reputation and the temptation of his Cultivation Techniques.
In the world today, who wouldn’t want to cozy up to Zhongdu, to fawn over Xue An, to obtain a Cultivation Method for their own use?
Therefore, when Dmitry learned that Su Shanna had actually been saved by Xue An, and that Xue An had conveyed his dissatisfaction,
Dmitry understood.
It’s over!
Once this news spread, there would be countless people already eyeing him greedily, ready to pounce and bite him to death.
Even if Xue An didn’t express the desire for his death, those people, in their eagerness to please Xue An and Zhongdu, wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
It was precisely because he understood this that Dmitry wanted to flee the moment he had the chance.
But Nikita was faster than him and directly cornered him in the office.
Now, with a face full of despair, Dmitry said, “Nikita, for what it’s worth, I’m also a soldier of E country. I promise to disappear from now on; just let me go!”
Nikita shook his head, “Dmitry, if it were anyone else, I might have let you go. But who made you offend the number one person in the world?”
Upon hearing this, Dmitry’s face drastically changed color, and suddenly he pulled out a gun and dashed forward, attempting to take Nikita hostage.
But he had barely taken a step when a bullet flew through the shattered window, piercing straight into his forehead and exiting the back of his skull, spraying blood all over the wall.
Dmitry’s face still had the last traces of shock, then slowly he fell to the ground, breathless and dead.
Nikita looked down at the corpse and said calmly, “Take pictures, then release the news. Say the commander killed himself out of guilt and that he had been secretly in touch with Zhongdu, expressing our E country military’s deep apologies to Mr. Xue.”
“Yes!”
The subordinate went to take care of the aftermath.
Nikita then glanced at the opulent office and the broken window, a scornful smile playing on his lips.
“What a fool. Didn’t you bother to find out about Su Shan’s connection with Mr. Xue before you went after her?”
“And to sit by the window every day, as if you wished to hasten your own death?”
Soon, the news of Dmitry’s suicide caused a sensation in E country.
But since his reputation was already poor, many people were actually pleased with this event.
Of course, that was all just public relations.
Privately, the people of E country had already expressed their apologies to Zhongdu more than once, stating that they desperately didn’t want a few bad apples to damage the precious, long-standing friendship between the two nations.
However, Zhongdu didn’t take the matter too seriously, as the busiest people right now were probably Zhongdu’s diplomats.
Every day, they were exhaustingly responding to kindnesses from all directions, to the point of feeling numb.
However, when Su Shanna, following Xue An, returned to Zhongdu and learned of this news, she was so shocked she didn’t know what to say.
She finally understood what Xue An meant by his previous comment that it would not be long now.
He seemed to have anticipated this scene well in advance.
And throughout the entire process, he had not uttered a single extra word.
With overwhelming authority alone, he had made E country meekly present the head of Dmitry.
What kind of domineering presence was needed to achieve such an effect?
Su Shanna couldn’t help but recall how the people of that strange world had greeted Xue An when he appeared.
It was as if they were welcoming the most revered Deity.
And upon returning to Zhongdu, everything she saw and heard here further shocked Su Shanna into numbness.
The soldiers, who were diligently practicing their Cultivation Techniques daily and making rapid progress in strength, filled Su Shanna with a touch of real fear.
Because, with their growing power, China’s military would soon become the world’s foremost, and that without any dispute.
The thriving and vibrant state of the whole society also left Su Shanna astounded.
But Su Shanna gradually became enchanted with this atmosphere.
She also wanted to see just how high Xue An and China would lead the world eventually.
Because she was brought back by Xue An, no one dared to slight her in the slightest.
Soon, she was selected to join the military, where she began to utilize her abilities and resume her role as an instructor.
And this scene was increasingly playing out all over China.
Countless talents from abroad began crying and shouting to enter China, with wealthy individuals flocking in droves, waving their money, just to obtain Chinese citizenship.
These tycoons understood that China would become the safest place in the world in the future.
And having access to a Cultivation Method would be like a shortcut to heaven.
As for the foreign girls, they were even more eager to marry into China, with their eyes turning red with competition.
Eventually, if you were a Chinese man, there would be people willing to marry you.
If you were from Zhongdu or Beijiang and the like, there would be even less to say — the girls would come over in their wedding dresses as long as you nodded assent.
Many lifelong bachelors, who had once given up on marriage, thereby found themselves beautiful foreign wives.
Seeing this scene, many had a feeling of déjà vu.
It was as if, in just a few short years, everything had turned around completely.
Meanwhile, Xue An opened up the Demon Race Secret Realm and the Fate Secret Realm and connected them to the wider world.
When Jiang Mei’er led the many members of the Demon Race into the world, it also caused a stir.
But what truly caused a sensation were Xiao Shui and others from the Fate Secret Realm.
Upon seeing these alchemically forged true soldiers, many scholars devoted to scientific research were nearly driven insane.
And then there were Liu Keke and others from the Puppet Immortal Sect; the puppets they used also elicited a wave of amazement.
Thus, innumerable scholars began to study Alchemy, seeking to integrate the technology of Earth with these ancient secret techniques.
Xue An was very supportive of this brand-new exploration.
After another period of upheaval,
Xue An quietly left Zhongdu with An Yan and others, returning to Beijiang.
What do you think?
