“It’s like this, they suspect that the secret manual is still hidden within Phil Donovan’s military forces; since everyone happened to be on the grounds of the International Center, they decided to detain everyone and check them one by one!

To force the Liberty Alliance to compromise, they formed an alliance, presenting a united front, determined to fight to the end!”

With the fox’s explanation, Greg Jensen finally understood that the Liberty Alliance was extremely dissatisfied with this move, even contemplating the intervention of multiple eighth-level powerhouses to stop it.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take long before various sanctions were proposed; greatly affecting their trade, military, commerce, and food supplies, which ultimately forced them to nod in agreement and temporarily quelled the fighting.

After negotiations, both sides made their attitudes and positions clear: as long as the secret manual could be found on these soldiers, its contents would be immediately disclosed to the public.

Of course, if nothing were found, the countries would also make corresponding compensation for Phil Donovan’s death.

In fact, after the fox’s analysis, Greg knew that things would gradually come to a conclusion; those who had to compensate would do so, and those who needed to go would leave.

“Dragon King, there are even those who have proposed to investigate your identity and whereabouts! Even if they can’t get information on you, they will definitely try to track down the Ancient Clan and others by following the leads!”

Greg had anticipated this and showed little reaction.

Or perhaps, ever since Phil Donovan was killed by Cherrywood, he had already concocted a new plan; if executed well, it could potentially shift the blame onto them.

Although it was a temporary measure, it gave the Eight countries in Southeast the breathing space they needed for their development.

Thinking this through, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “That day I used several Smoke Evasion Bombs, one of Cherrywood’s ninja techniques. When the time comes, you might want to leak this information as an appropriate reminder, giving them no choice!”

As for the rest, there’s no need to say more. Those who can attend the international conference are not fools; anyone who sees the Smoke Evasion Bomb will inevitably connect the dots to Cherrywood.

As a result, even if the Liberty Alliance can escape suspicion, they will definitely drag Cherrywood into it, especially since the research on the Soul-snatching Flower originated from their territory, fitting all the pieces of evidence together.

At least for a month, the focus of the major nation-regions will be on them.

“Understood!”

…

The next morning.

Greg was driving an off-road vehicle, taking sisters Karen Milton and Zoey Milton toward Octavia’s Snow Wave Mountain.

The affairs of the Dragon King’s Palace were left in the hands of Shark and Viper.

Additionally, he mobilized a construction team to dig cave dwellings in Mount Tai and secretly build a research facility.

Just as the fox had said the day before, on the International Alliance forum, each nation-region, unless they obtained the secret manual from either the Liberty Alliance or Cherrywood, would definitely turn their attention to the Ancient Clan.

Therefore, being scrutinized was only a matter of time.

With the month he had secured, he had to plan ahead.

His current idea was to relocate the research base and hide the entire secretive research atop Mount Tai.

By doing this, he could both stay with them, ensuring their protection, and also prevent discovery of his whereabouts.

Even when the time was right, he could set up Secret Techniques on Mount Tai, completely isolating it from the outside world. Even if some people discovered it, they would only be able to circle outside, unable to penetrate within.

While on the road, Fox called to say that as soon as the rumor about the Smoke Evasion Bombs came out, some countries immediately began suspecting Cherrywood.

Now, the Liberty Alliance and Cherrywood were pushed into the limelight, finding themselves in a state where they had no room to attend to others, but the major nations also dared not press them too closely.

After all, even a cornered rabbit will bite, the strength of these two nations should not be underestimated, so they had to resort to a mix of soft and hard tactics.

Furthermore, he was on his way back to the Eight countries in Southeast and would arrive before long.

Greg Jensen seemed to think of something and immediately made a decision:

“After we return, use construction as a pretext to seal off the entrances, strengthen the border surveillance, and also, relocate all domestic troops to the border to prevent frequent attacks by Ferocious Beasts!”

On one hand, this was to prevent people from abroad from sneaking in to scout for information, and on the other hand, it was to suppress the harassment by Ferocious Beasts, so the newly built structures within the country wouldn’t be destroyed again.

In the following days, the trio chatted and laughed along the way.

Time flew by quickly, and after passing through deserts, oases, and several small nations, they gradually entered the territory of Octavia.

Bang!

Just then, a huge disturbance suddenly came from a hundred meters away, as if something had violently crashed into something else.

Mixed in were screams of alarm, anguished cries, and the spooked neighing of horses.

“Senior, Sister, it seems like it’s a Ferocious Beast! This aura can be felt even more than a hundred meters away!”

Zoey Milton’s eyebrows raised slightly; she guessed that the power of this Ferocious Beast must be at least seventh level at its peak, otherwise it couldn’t have made such a commotion from such a distance.

Karen Milton shook her head, “I think we should mind our own business, so as not to expose our identities and invite unnecessary trouble!”

However, Greg Jensen, who usually didn’t like to meddle, said, “Heh, driving all this way has made me stiff, a Ferocious Beast to loosen up my muscles does sound pretty good, let’s check it out!”

He also wanted to see what kind of Ferocious Beast could emit such a strong presence. With a bit of luck, he might even get his hands on a supreme Beast Core and Supreme Bone!

These two items were highly sought after on the market and would be a great help in crafting The Angel of Burning Armor.

With that, he turned the steering wheel and headed toward the source of the noise.

Before long, they saw a carriage that had been shattered by an ox, with a shower of glittering jewels strewn on the ground, extremely eye-catching.

The ox, with its exuberant hair and blood-red eyes, stood over ten feet tall, with sharp, thick, ink-colored hooves–at least a seventh level peak Ferocious Beast.

It had gored most of the people on the carriage to death, and now, only an old man with white hair and a young girl with a pretty face and a pitiable look remained sitting on the ground.

“Miss Shakira, you, you’d better run. As long as you can make it back alive, our deaths would not be in vain. I… I’ll try my best to hold off this beast!”

The white-haired old man struggled to stand, holding his Magic Wand firmly in his hand. Layer upon layer of blue light burst forth, draining the last bit of energy from his body, his eyes resigned to death, clearly prepared to make a life-and-death stand against the ox.

Shakira, in her purple pleated skirt, tearfully shook her head, “No, Mr. Gale, you are the one my father wants to meet. How could we let you die here! You should…”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the next second, the ox charged ferociously, its sharp horns piercing the air with such ferocity that it was terrifying!
