I, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, am being kept by the state.

Kane knelt on the white marble platform, his kneecaps cracking under the strain.

His tactical maneuvers, which he was so proud of, and his muscle memory, looked like a joke under the gaze of those golden vertical pupils.

That was absolute suppression from the level of life itself.

Just like a single-celled organism facing its creator, it can only tremble in fear; its genes cannot write any other instructions.

"Move...move..."

Kane roared inwardly.

His right thumb was only two centimeters from the detonation button on his tactical vest.

There is a miniature tactical nuclear battery hidden there, which, when detonated, would be enough to turn a radius of 100 meters into scorched earth.

This is the "vampire" team's last line of defense—to perish together.

However, those two centimeters have now become an insurmountable barrier.

The surrounding air was as thick as solidified cement, tightly binding every inch of his joints.

He could even hear the "rustling" sound of his eyeballs rubbing against his eye sockets as they moved.

"Tick-tock".

A warm liquid flowed down his trouser leg, spreading into a puddle on the white jade floor.

The demolition expert lost control of his bladder.

Next came the vanguard and the technicians.

These top-tier mercenaries, who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, were now like a group of kindergarten children thrown into a lion's cage, unable to even control their most basic physiological functions, such as their sphincter muscles.

Li Chen lay prone on the soft couch, his enormous dragon head slightly protruding forward, two streams of white vapor escaping from his nostrils.

"Dirty".

A single word, spoken lightly, yet it struck everyone like a heavy hammer on the top of their heads.

That disdainful tone wasn't directed at an enemy, but rather at a few blobs of dog poop that had suddenly appeared on their expensive carpet.

The next second, Li Chen snorted.

"call--"

It was as if a golden storm had suddenly swept up from the ground.

Kane was horrified to discover that his optical camouflage combat suit was starting to heat up and soften.

The polymer materials that were strong enough to withstand direct rifle fire melted like wax and slid off the skin.

Next came the Gauss rifle, tactical knife, and night vision goggles in his hands…

The molecular structure of all the high-tech equipment collapsed the moment it came into contact with that golden aura.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

After a sickening crackling sound of electricity, the five fully armed "future warriors" were left completely naked.

At their feet was a pool of scalding liquid, still emitting blue smoke, mixed with various rare metals.

This control over energy is so precise it's almost despair-inducing.

"Is this all you're relying on?"

Li Chen's languid voice echoed in their minds, "A few pieces of scrap metal?"

Kane opened his mouth wide, making a "clucking" sound from his throat.

That was a futile attempt by the vocal cords to squeeze out words under extreme spasm.

Just then, the only surviving thing in the pool of waste liquid floated up.

It was a black disc, only the size of a coin.

The Solomon Organization's highest-level quantum communication terminal was flashing a glaring red light, indicating that the signal was still working.

With a gentle flick of his dragon claw, Li Chen brought the terminal to a hover in front of his enormous dragon eye.

"Oh? There are audience members too?"

Li Chen's vertical pupils contracted slightly, and golden light swirled wildly deep within them, as if it were a vortex leading to another dimension.

……

On the other side of the ocean, somewhere buried deep underground, lies a command center.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire hall.

On the more than thirty huge holographic screens, the physiological data and tactical perspectives of the "vampire" squad should have been displayed.

But now, all the data has been reset to zero, leaving only the shaky, suffocating image on the main screen.

The enormous golden eyes filled the entire field of vision.

A dozen or so Solomon executives sat stiffly in leather chairs, their wine glasses tilted, oblivious to the expensive wine spilling onto their trousers.

"Is this... is this special effects?"

A congressman's voice trembled as he said, "Tell me, this is Hollywood special effects!"

No one answered him.

The CTO's fingers flew across the keyboard, his face ashen.

"The signal source is stable, there's no sign of tampering... This is real-time transmission! My God, that thing is watching us! It's watching the camera!"

On the screen, the golden vertical pupil suddenly moved.

Through countless relay satellites, the location of this secret room, located 500 meters underground, was directly locked.

An indescribable panic instantly gripped everyone's hearts.

"Cut off the signal!"

The old man sitting at the head of the table suddenly stood up and slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

"Cut it off immediately! That's a source of mental pollution! We can't look at it!"

"I can't cut it... I can't cut it!"

The CTO screamed in despair, "All the physical switches are broken! The system is locked!"

Just then, the eye on the screen seemed to blink.

A majestic, cold, and infinitely authoritative voice resounded directly in the air of the command hall, not through loudspeakers.

"Since you enjoy watching it so much, then look at it more carefully."

boom!

The moment the words fell, a terrifying energy that defied scientific explanation traveled across half the Earth along an invisible quantum signal and blasted directly into the command center.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

All the displays in the lobby, whether the main screen or individual tablets, shattered at the same time.

Countless shards of glass flew everywhere, accompanied by sparks.

But that's not the worst part.

The most terrifying thing is that spiritual impact that goes straight to the soul.

"ah!!!"

More than a dozen powerful figures who controlled half of the Western world simultaneously covered their eyes and let out a piercing scream.

Blood flowed between their fingers.

It was as if a sun had been forcibly inserted into their minds.

That golden vertical pupil magnified infinitely deep within their consciousness, burning away all reason, dignity, and schemes.

"A dragon...it's a dragon..."

The elderly man at the front of the group collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently, his eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth, and muttering to himself like a madman.

Just one glance.

The highest decision-making level of the Solomon organization suffered a severe blow to its morale.

……

Jinghu Lake, the island in the middle of the lake.

Li Chen withdrew his gaze in boredom, and the quantum communication terminal in front of him exploded into dust with a "crack".

"Fragile mortals."

"You can't even withstand one ten-thousandth of my divine sense's impact, yet you dare to steal my blood?"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the distant woods.

Wang Yijun led a fully armed guard company out.

"Mr. Li! Are you alright? We just detected a violent energy wave..."

Wang Yijun's words caught in his throat.

He looked at the five burly foreign men kneeling under the stone platform, naked, with vacant eyes and soaking wet crotches.

He glanced again at the pool of solidified lava next to him, and finally his gaze fell on Li Chen, who was unharmed and even a little sleepy.

Wang Yijun instantly understood what had happened.

But he still felt that his brain wasn't quite up to par.

This is Solomon's top-tier "vampire" squad!

On the international dark web bounty list, the combined heads of these five people are worth three hundred million US dollars!

That's it... over?

They were stripped naked without even hearing a sound?

"Lord Dragon Lord, this..."

Wang Yijun swallowed hard and pointed at the five "sculptures" that seemed to have been stripped of their souls.

"It was too noisy, so I just dealt with it quickly."

Li Chen kept his eyes closed. "These few are yours to handle."

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"
