Chapter 293: Chapter 153: Call an Emergency Meeting!_2

"The fire has calmed down just like that?"

"The Divine Light Country is just trying to gain attention! They made it seem like the apocalypse was coming, and now they suddenly say the volcano has calmed down out of nowhere!"

"Damn it, scared the hell out of me! I even bought a coffin!"

"You’re really overreacting up there. If a disaster were to start, it would begin within the borders of the Divine Light Country. You’re far away in the Great Xia Kingdom; buying a coffin is a bit exaggerated!"

"Something’s fishy. The students from Imperial Capital University just left, and then the volcano in the Divine Light Country stopped immediately!"

"Now that you mention it, it’s really weird!"

"And that figure cultivating at the mouth of the volcano has also disappeared!"

"Could it be that the Divine Light Country intentionally made the volcano look like the end of the world just to divert attention, and that figure cultivating was part of their ploy?"

"What a pity, we didn’t get to witness a nation-destroying catastrophe!"

"It’s too despicable, their attitude is terrible! If they can’t control the volcano, they just let it go to ruin, dragging the entire Earth’s ecosystem down with them!"

...

The forums worldwide were flooded with comments, so much so that the screen was completely obscured unless one filtered out the comments.

However, reality wasn’t as lively as the comments; some were condemning the actions of the Divine Light Country, some were digging for information about that mysterious figure, and others praised the country’s emergency measures for managing to control the casualties so well!

Moreover, countries around the world issued official statements, expressing congratulations.

The people of the Divine Light Country, in particular, celebrated energetically on the day the announcement was made, with the streets brightly lit up and fireworks and firecrackers going off throughout the city. People spontaneously took to the streets, dancing in celebration, creating a festive atmosphere comparable to New Year’s Eve!

Many returned to Jingli Mountain to take photos with the volcano-devastated city to make memories.

As for the volcanic ash filling the sky, with the cessation of the volcanic activity, the clouded sky made the area experience a light drizzle.

Previous residents of the destroyed houses also came in groups to witness, only to find the supermarkets they once lived near now unrecognizable!

Traces of lava engulfed everything, and the solidified lava layers swallowed the city like a mudslide.

Officials at all levels of the Divine Light Country finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The strain of the past few days had left them unable to rest; once the definitive news of the volcanic calm was announced, they dozed off at their desks.

...

...

In Atlantis, in a skyscraper towering into the clouds, within an isolated floor.

This floor was inaccessible by elevator and required special credentials along with biometric recognition to pass through layers of security to enter.

It was an extremely secretive organizational base!

In a dimly lit room, a man with vacant eyes watched the news broadcast showing the volcanic eruption in the Divine Light Country that destroyed two cities, caused hundreds of casualties, and resulted in severe economic losses.

To him, this stirred no emotions; his face showed no color whatsoever.

It was as if he were watching a very minor event. Currently, his only concern was whether there would be more reports about that mysterious figure.

Ever since that figure escaped the military’s helicopter chase and footage, there had been no further information. Additionally, there had been no contact with Helena and Kendia’s team!

Two batches of people had been sent successively for investigation and rescue, but still, there was no word about their team!

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Griffin’s thoughts.

"Come in!"

It was a member of the team sent to rescue Helena’s group. Seeing their liaison appear, Griffin’s interest was piqued!

"Is there any new information?"

"Yes, Team Leader Griffin, but you better be prepared mentally!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

As he spoke, the liaison handed Griffin a tablet.

Griffin paused, took the tablet, and wondered what news could require him to prepare mentally.

Across the screen appeared a line of text that made his pupils dilate as he reread it word by word!

It was an official death list provided by the Divine Light Country for this Atlantis operation!

There were a dozen bodies whose identities couldn’t be confirmed, but judging by their clothing and skin color, they were people from Atlantis!

Pictures were attached at the bottom of the text!

As Griffin enlarged the images, his heart jolted, and his hand trembled, almost losing grip of the tablet!

These corpses had their skulls turned to pure bone!

"Team Leader Griffin, these bodies died under very bizarre circumstances. It’s impossible to identify them as Helena’s team members by their faces!"

"However, Helena’s body has been confirmed! Her appearance remains intact!"

The liaison explained while swiping to a photo of Helena’s corpse on the screen.

Her body still had pale skin, with dark blood oozing from the corner of her mouth!

One look made it clear that she had taken the poison hidden in her gum!

"Given that there’s been no contact with Kendia and the others, I suspect these bodies may indeed be their team members. Therefore, I have contacted the Divine Light Country to expedite the return of the bodies!"

The latter part of the words fell on deaf ears for Griffin, as he was deep in thought about what had befallen their team!

What had driven Helena’s excellent group to the point of taking poison!

At worst, they should have been captured by the Divine Light Country’s military after a failed assassination attempt!

"What force drove Helena to take poison!"

"And what caused such horrific corpses!"

Griffin mumbled to himself, clenching his fists tightly!

His face turned even more sinister as a wave of killing intent surged in his eyes!

Never had he felt such hatred towards anything!

Today, he experienced it!

Every encounter with Lin Beichen, his deployed teams faced disaster!

And the specifics of Lin Beichen remained unknown to this day!

It was a colossal humiliation!

The liaison, seeing Griffin turning to look out the window, wisely made an exit without a word.

Griffin was left alone, staring at the bustling city streets, lights intertwining, his mind brewing new plans!

Immediately, he returned to his desk, decisively pressing a hidden red button. A screen sprang up from the desk, displaying a black background.

After a long while, a shadowy figure appeared on the screen, the dim atmosphere on the other end exuding a highly oppressive mood.

Similarly, a low and raspy voice resonated.

"It seems your squad has failed again!"

"My apologies, Minister!!"

"I reached out to you to report that there’s a strong possibility of a superhuman existing in the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Hmm?"

"The Kendia team was handpicked and formed by me; their abilities are definitely not something a young man in his twenties could withstand!"

"Every preparation was perfect, the secrecy impeccable!"

"Yet they still couldn’t kill Lin Beichen, and we received news of Helena’s team going missing, only to confirm today that Helena’s death was by poison!"

"Considering our previous investigations, this boy’s behavior is extraordinarily strange, likely possessing the Power of Thunder!"

"The Power of Thunder?"

The shadow on the screen showed renewed interest upon hearing Griffin’s explanation, and for once, turned around!

An aged face with cold, piercing eyes, a hollow scar on the left side of the cheek, likely from a bullet wound!

Though he was advanced in age, his aura remained imposing and spirited!

His mere presence made Griffin unable to meet his gaze, making breathing seem difficult with just a glance!

Given the Minister’s previous identity and deeds, his ruthlessness was such that Griffin, whose hands were stained with blood, felt like an ant before him!

To Griffin, if the Minister so wished, he could mobilize an entire army!

This wasn’t just an assassin organization!

"Prepare for an emergency meeting, I’ll be listening in!"

"Make any requests you have!"

The deep voice finished and ceased communication.

Griffin lit a cigarette, taking a heavy drag.
