Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 143 The Mastermind's Ambitions Are Huge

The welcome dinner was held in the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.

When Cui Jiuyuan arrived with his entourage, the banquet hall was already quite full.

Without exception, these people were all high-ranking officials of the "provisional government" of the Xiangxiong Kingdom. Dressed in splendid formal attire and holding wine glasses, they gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

Sangbu, acting as the guide, led Cui Jiuyou and the others into the banquet hall.

His gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, kept drifting towards Wang Hu, clearly showing his interest in the fact that Cui Jiuyou always had this seemingly harmless golden kitten with him.

Inside the banquet hall, glasses clinked, and elegantly dressed guests mingled.

Sangbu led Cui Jiuyuan through the crowd, constantly introducing him to the various important figures of the "provisional government".

"This is our Minister of the Interior, Mr. Tenzin."

"This is the Minister of Defense, General Dorje."

"This is the Minister of Finance, Mr. Solang."

Each time he introduced someone, Cui Jiuyuan would politely shake hands with them and exchange a few pleasantries.

Wang Hu followed at his feet, memorizing the faces and auras of these people.

Just as he had guessed, these people were all extraordinary individuals with varying levels of strength, but even the weakest among them was a first-tier extraordinary individual who had unlocked a genetic lock.

Especially the Defense Minister named Dorje, who was burly, with a cold face and a strong smell of blood about him. His strength had reached the third level, comparable to General Tan whom they had met at the airport.

It seems that this "provisional government" has indeed received a lot of benefits from the mastermind after siding with him!

After all, according to previous intelligence from China, Xiangxiong Kingdom had not developed any extraordinary medicine. Before the internal strife, the number of extraordinary individuals in the country was pitifully small, let alone second- or third-tier extraordinary individuals, who were extremely rare. It was nothing like now, where it seemed that all officials had become extraordinary individuals overnight.

This number of extraordinary individuals is already comparable to that of China.

The mastermind is really generous!

But isn't it afraid that by supporting a government composed of superhumans, these people might one day turn around and bite it back?

Or is it that it has absolute confidence that it can control these people?

Just as Wang Hu was pondering, General Dorje suddenly turned his gaze toward him.

Those were sharp, hawk-like eyes, full of aggression and scrutiny.

Wang Hu met his gaze without flinching.

A man and a "cat" suddenly began their first silent confrontation in the bustling banquet hall, separated by the crowd.

Dorje's gaze grew colder and colder.

He sensed a very uncomfortable aura emanating from the kitten.

It was a kind of overwhelming pressure emanating from the very top of life, like a ruler surveying the world.

Although the oppressive aura was well contained, Dorje, as a battle-hardened third-tier expert, still keenly detected a trace of it.

"interesting."

"As expected, those who came with Cui Jiuyou are no ordinary people!"

"This cat must be the bodyguard of this Chinese director, a third-tier extraordinary cat?"

"If we could find an opportunity to quietly cripple or kill him, perhaps the subsequent negotiations would proceed more smoothly."

""

A cold smile curled at the corner of Dorje's mouth.

The world is not like it used to be.

With the rise of the superhumans, those at the top of the food chain are gradually taking control of the world. Now, almost every so often, a new country on Earth is overthrown by a superhuman.

And if we really want to calculate the current state of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, it is actually the same.

It's just that the way these people obtained their extraordinary abilities was somewhat unusual.

As a result, the ways in which countries communicate and interact are also changing.

For example, Wang Hu openly killed those extraordinary individuals from other countries in Yong'an City before, and this time, the high-ranking official from Xiangxiong Kingdom harbored murderous intent towards him.

With extraordinary power at hand, one's perspective on things will naturally change.

With that thought in mind, the Minister of Defense picked up his wine glass and walked towards Cui Jiuyuan.

"Director Cui, on behalf of the Provisional Government of Xiangxiong Kingdom, I would like to offer you a toast."

Dorje wore a sincere smile: "Thank you for your country's help during our most difficult time, helping us overcome our difficulties."

Cui Jiuyuan clinked glasses with him and laughed, saying, "Minister, you're too kind. Our two countries are friendly neighbors, and it's only right that we help each other."

"Well said!"

Dorjee downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then changed the subject: "However, relying solely on the help of friends is not a long-term solution. We must be strong ourselves. If our Xiangxiong Kingdom wants to truly stand up, we must rely on ourselves."

He paused, looked at Cui Jiuyuan, and said meaningfully, "Director Cui, don't you agree?"

Cui Jiuyuan put down his wine glass, looked at Dorje with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and said, "This has always been our wish. We naturally hope that people in all countries can live a good life."

Dorje laughed and said, "Director Cui is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either."

"I wonder if those local gangs that have suddenly risen to prominence in northern my country have any connection with your country?"

"Gangs?"

Cui Jiuyou looked puzzled and shook his head.

"In that case, what would your country's attitude be if we sent troops to crack down on those gangs?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Jiuyou's expression turned solemn: "Of course we support the people's choice and a just war."

"We also believe that the government of the Xiangxiong Kingdom will be the one representing justice."

"Do you, Minister Duo, agree with what I said?"

Upon hearing this, Dorje's expression froze for a moment; he had clearly encountered a minor setback.

However, he didn't show it, but laughed and continued, "Of course."

"Then I wonder if we can cooperate with your country in some ways?"

"Our Xiangxiong Kingdom has abundant mineral resources, vast land, and also—the latest and most cutting-edge bio-gene technology."

"And your country has a massive industrial system, advanced management experience, and everything we need."

"Our cooperation, leveraging our complementary strengths, will surely lead to a win-win situation and allow us to jointly dominate the world."

"What does Director Cui think?"

Sambu's eyes gleamed with a burning light.

He was painting an incredibly beautiful picture.

But both Cui Jiuyuan and Wang Hu understood.

This guy's so-called cooperation isn't the kind of cooperation that existed before the spiritual energy revival; it's about conveying a message.

The mastermind probably wants to become allies with China, defeat the remaining human nations together, and divide up and rule the world.
