From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 171 Desire Never Ceases

Reykjavik International Airport.

Gao, along with Austin and a group of his agents, sat in the lounge looking dejected.

“Boss, have the Icelanders gone mad? We’re American, why are they locking us up here with this group?” Austin asked, puzzled.

The two of them were already used to working for the extraordinary, since it was impossible to ask Qian Si or Baron to come for this kind of work; they were the best candidates.

Even so, they felt a sense of absurdity and unease, because such a thing should not happen to them!
What kind of country is Iceland?
A country with a population of just over 300,000, which doesn't even have an army, only a coast guard!
The most powerful military force in this country is America's Keflavik base. These people who come to this country, if not enjoying preferential treatment, should at least be treated with considerable respect.

The other side was incredibly audacious and chose to blockade them and other foreign agents here.

"Did the NGOs forget to send them money?" Faced with an all-female political scene in this country, this was the only explanation Gao could come up with.

The whole world knows that America's influence is behind feminist or so-called gender struggle projects in this world; of course they know.

They know that all of Europe is their backyard, and if they push female politicians into power, the country will become a bloodbath for America.

Therefore, these countries, especially the Nordic countries, were practically places where they could take whatever they wanted from them. They even came with the intention of buying up all the extraordinary items!
But today, just as they arrived, the female prime minister, who was rumored to have had a very pleasant conversation with their former president, gave them a rude awakening.

"Could it be... that this person wants to avenge Old Man Deng?" Austin guessed.

"She doesn't deserve it?" Gao shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on this country, but this small country was simply too insignificant. He himself held more power than her. "Never mind, let's wait five more minutes. If she still doesn't release them, I'll have Keflavik Base send people over!"

Gao has Trump's warrant, he has an official identity, and he's not one of those CIA people who make illicit income, so of course he has the confidence to do this!
If a country is truly so unreasonable, even its prime minister can be replaced.

This is the confidence of the world's number one power. They have too many trump cards, countless different cards to play, and every single one of them is a royal flush!
It seemed that Gao's concerns had been heard, because a few minutes later, the airport manager came over and apologized to everyone who had been stopped.

Of course, no one wanted to argue with the other party. Everyone was shrewd enough to know who was who.
Without orders from above, even if this bald manager had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to stop so many people!

Looking at his colleagues, Austin chuckled, "Hey boss, this time the whole team is here! Goose, French chicken, cow, Sanders... it seems like everyone in the world who's considered top-tier is here except for the rabbit!"

"The rabbit has been acting all mysterious lately, I wonder what he's up to, he's even been making fewer international appearances..." Gao said casually. "That makes sense, you see, even New York has seen so many people lately, after all, he's a superhuman, who wouldn't want to make contact and give it a try?"

"Even our leader, who said he wouldn't contact the church or plot against Lyon's vampire hunters, still sent us here after hearing this information, didn't he?"

Austin nodded slowly, understanding his boss's meaning. "We've already contacted that student. He has a weapon and two ornaments, both taken from the cave. And there are six students like that in that hotel!"

“They come from several different countries, and there are teachers and professors among them. They all took things from the cave, and others know this information as well. So I estimate that this trip to the hotel will be a fierce battle!”

The extraordinary is something everyone tacitly acknowledges. Now that there's a new angle, everyone's eager to get involved and see for themselves. But Gao sees things further ahead: "How much power can be contained within these so-called extraordinary objects?"

"I'm afraid the most crucial one is that student named Olafell; what he has is the truly important thing!"

They knew exactly what happened last night. Five minutes after America's student finished bragging about his life on social media, their agents in Iceland came knocking on his door.

Therefore, they clearly knew what happened yesterday and the existence of the "Dragon Slayer Equipment".

In the mythology of any culture, anyone who can kill a dragon is a true hero and a top-tier powerhouse. Even one of Satan's final forms is a dragon!
So, what kind of powerful equipment could make two powerful beings from mysterious races, capable of defeating dragons, wait for thousands of years?

"You mean, we should go and talk to Mr. Olafell first?" Austin understood. "Then let's go to the hotel first!" The group got into the car that had been prepared in advance, and more people jumped into the car around them as well.

The city suddenly became lively.

……

At this moment, everyone in the hotel gathered together, facing the person in front of them, a man in a police uniform.

"Dear students, teachers, and professors, don't be nervous. I am the police chief of Reykjavik. You can call me Larst!" The man was chubby, which was unusual in this city where there weren't many fat people (the food in Iceland really makes it hard to gain weight).

"I know you all had another adventure yesterday, but adventures aren't always a good thing. If you'd like, I can keep those things for you for now!"

Upon hearing this, a huge burst of laughter erupted from the crowd. Everyone knew what being extraordinary meant, and for the other party to offer to safeguard their belongings was a sure sign that once the items were handed over, there was no chance of getting them back!
Larster wasn't annoyed. He knew it was hopeless; he was just there to try his luck. If someone actually believed him, they would make some money for free; if no one believed him, they would only lose face.

What does face matter in the face of the extraordinary?
Professor Torre, still their representative, looked at the bureau chief and asked softly, "Mr. Larst, who are you representing? The mayor or the prime minister?"

This country has an excessively high female employment rate, and the all-female cabinet is becoming increasingly valuable!

"No, I came for myself!" A red glint flashed in Larst's eyes. "Extraordinary items are too dangerous for you. Why don't you entrust them to me for safekeeping? I'll guarantee your safety, how about it?"

"Does safety need your protection?" A tall male student stood up, a spear in his hand gleaming with a peculiar silver light, pointed directly at Larster. "Director, you seem to know little about supernatural items!"

It wasn't just this one student, but almost all the students present, along with the two teachers, who stood up.

They were either carrying weapons they had taken from the cave, or wearing rings and necklaces, and they all stared at the police chief with hostile expressions.

This unexpected situation left Torre and Olafur, who were watching from the sidelines, completely bewildered!

What's going on? How come they don't know that their colleagues/classmates have become so short-tempered, so easily angered?

It was at this moment that Professor Torre noticed something amiss: he saw that Director Larster was also wearing a ring on his finger!
The ring's shape and pattern were exactly the same as the jewelry they had seen yesterday!
"Could it be..." The professor was startled, feeling an indescribable sense of dread. "Olavell, quick, let's get out of here!"

Olafel hadn't quite figured out what was going on, but since the professor had said so, he naturally had to listen, so he quickly led the professor out of the room.

The people who stood up ignored them and continued the standoff.

The low pressure, like the calm before a storm, gave them a strong sense of foreboding!

"Too fast, too fast!" After running out, Torre said solemnly, "They have no foundation, yet they have already mastered supernatural powers, using those items brought out from the cave. So, what will be the price for Olafel?"

Olafel shook his head. "I don't know, maybe—everything? I think each of them should have known the cost when they made their choice, but not a single one of them gave up..."

"Desire, truly the most terrifying thing about humankind!" Professor Torre said with a pained expression. "It's my fault; I didn't stop them before they left!"

Olafel shook his head. "It's not your fault, Professor. Even if you did that, what better outcome would it have than making them your true enemies?"

He was even more aware that nothing would work, and that this was something that couldn't be undone!
Desire never ceases!
