After all, an innocent man is guilty when he carries a treasure.

He brazenly led a large force to snatch the research results.

If his plan succeeded, wouldn’t it tell the whole world that the research was in his own hands?

At that time, whether out of fear or greed, peace would not last among the Eight countries in Southeast.

Therefore, Greg Jensen knew very clearly that this operation required not just one person to go, but also to be silent and unseen, preventing anyone from detecting where the research results ended up.

Having no choice, the Fox could only agree and promised that before Greg Jensen’s return, he would restore the Eight countries in Southeast to their former spirits.

In the two days that followed, Greg Jensen held a high-profile and glorious funeral for the Wild Boar.

Everyone at the Dragon King’s Palace wore solemn suits, bowing their heads in mourning, deeply remembering this lesson.

The streets and alleys were even more dotted with wreaths, candles, and paper money.

Black Wolf took the initiative to lead a team, parading Oscar Jones and Gavin Bane through the streets as a public spectacle.

Countless citizens spat at them, threw stones, leaving them bruised and bleeding, utterly humiliated.

Greg Jensen even invited high monks to chant sutras throughout the night to transcend the soul.

He was not usually a believer, but since it was his brother who had died, he’d rather believe this once to help Wild Boar’s soul reincarnate.

This act moved many subordinates at the Dragon King’s Palace, turning them even more loyal and devoted to the Dragon King!

…

On the third night, after watching Wild Boar laid to rest,

Under the shining stars, Greg Jensen rode an eagle alone, embarking on the road to the Dark Golden Triangle.

To avoid recognition, he had disguised himself, completely altering his appearance, pondering along the way how to enter the Dark Golden Triangle without anyone noticing.

After all, based on the information he held, the Dark Golden Triangle was surrounded by four countries and protected by their military forces. Charging in would be simple for him, yet doing so would be akin to exposing himself prematurely.

It wasn’t until dawn.

Greg Jensen looked down at the earth and noticed he had left the territory of the Eight countries in Southeast and entered the domain of Avalon, landing in a hidden hillock and walking towards a small town.

There were already a large number of troops stationed here, with many of the locals hiding in their homes, watching from afar. There were virtually no individuals to be seen in the streets and alleys.

He leaned against a tavern and couldn’t help but pull someone aside to ask.

The man sighed and explained:

“Alas, it’s all because of the Dark Golden Triangle, supposedly they’re conducting some secret research, killing many people from all over the country.

As a result, quite a few nations have dispatched troops, intending to eradicate the Dark Golden Triangle, and our place here happens to be on the way.

I really don’t understand what they’re thinking, it’s clearly someone else’s issue, why should our troops get involved?!”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen had an epiphany.

So, there were already countries taking action, preparing to forcefully enter from Avalon’s territory.

And just so, the higher-ups in Avalon were in cahoots with the Dark Golden Triangle and naturally wouldn’t allow foreign military to come and go as they please.

That’s why they started to gather a large number of troops, ready to negotiate with the other side, or even to wage war.

No wonder he sensed such tension upon entering this place.

“Eh? You don’t seem to be a local from here. Alas, we might be heading towards a war soon. If you can run, you’d better run while you can!”

“`

At this moment, the tavern owner noticed that Greg Jensen looked quite different from them and subconsciously started to inquire.

Luckily, Greg Jensen was well prepared for this kind of question and calmly said,

“Yes, I came from a foreign country a few days ago. I heard that the Dark Golden Triangle has some sort of miraculous medicine for sale, so I thought I’d come take a look… but it turned out to be… impossible to get in. The military’s guarding the entire perimeter!”

“Miraculous medicine? Oh, I see. You’re probably like the others who heard about acquiring various Special Abilities, and so you thought of coming here to buy them, right?”

The tavern owner looked him up and down and shook his head with a wry smile, “I advise you to give up this idea early. Before you, there have been no less than ten people who’ve come to me for information, but sadly, they all went and never returned!”

“Oh? So, you mean to say, you know how to get in?”

Upon hearing this, Greg Jensen’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected to actually hit the nail on the head. He quickly took out a stack of US dollars from his pocket and stealthily handed it to the man.

As expected, the money made the tavern owner’s eyes shine. He looked around to make sure no one was watching and then he was willing to say,

“Actually, getting in is simple. Just go directly to the military and explain your intention! As long as you show your identity and they confirm there’s no problem, someone will take the initiative to bring you in!”

He paused, then lowered his voice and softly added, “That’s why I think, our military here might have been collaborating with the Golden Triangle for a long time! I guess bringing people in, they get a pretty nice cut!”

Greg Jensen thanked the man and didn’t linger for more chat, but went off to find the scattered military personnel to try this method.

And it turned out, the tavern owner really hadn’t lied to him.

He casually approached a soldier and explained his intention.

The man’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement and he said, “You… you’re here to buy ‘flowers’? Where are you from?”

Greg Jensen took out an ID card from his Storage Ring, randomly picked it from one of the dead bodies before, handed it over, and said with a calm smile,

“I’m from Cherrywood. Mr. Ishimoto is the one who introduced me!”

The man scrutinized the ID with a suspicious look and asked, “How come you don’t look like the person in this photo?”

“If you look closely, it still looks like me. The ID was made ten years ago. After so much time has passed, how can I still look exactly the same?”

“Hmm, that’s true. But none of that is important. What is important is, if you want me to take you there, you gotta show me you mean business!”

Greg understood the hint immediately and pulled out no less than twenty thousand US dollars from his pocket, “Brother, is this meaning enough for you?”

“Ha ha ha… that’s more than enough! You’re the most generous guy I’ve ever met!”

And so, the two hit it off right away, and the rifle-bearing soldier happily took Greg Jensen onto the vehicle, heading towards the border.

Along the way, he saw that a large number of military forces had already gathered on the edges of the border, and from their national flags, it wasn’t hard to recognize that they were from Krautopia, Rival Nation, and Blabberland.

“Heh, looks like you guys could go to war at any moment!” Greg commented offhand.

The man explained with a smile,

“This isn’t much. Only some small countries have come. Let alone whether they can actually fight, even if they really do start a war, on our turf, they’re bound to lose!

You haven’t seen the array on Bear Country’s side. Goodness, all the powerful countries have come. The Liberty Alliance has even deployed a large number of new weapons, reportedly even threatening them that if they don’t agree to let them pass through, they’ll launch missiles!”

Greg Jensen was slightly taken aback, as he obviously hadn’t expected the great powers to have already started to make their moves.

The four major regions surrounding the Dark Golden Triangle were already under the attack of many countries.

This contest probably wouldn’t be long in erupting into full-scale conflict!

Under such pressure, it was very likely that the internal people of Cherrywood and the Dark Golden Triangle would make a run for it early, taking the research results with them to move their base.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the stand-off between the two sides was just to buy them time.

Whew… looks like I need to hurry, can’t afford to come up empty-handed!
