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

This sudden kneeling caught Wang Hu completely off guard.

His imminent pounce froze in mid-air, caught between a rock and a hard place, his majestic tiger face utterly speechless.

He thought to himself, "This guy is really fast. Couldn't he have waited a few seconds longer before kneeling?"

While he was still in a daze, Qin Tieshan's somewhat hurried voice suddenly came through his earphones.

"Big Cat, spare them! You'll get double the merit points if they live!"

"Double merit points?"

In an instant, a greedy glint flashed in Wang Hu's large, amber eyes.

He immediately pulled out his specially made large phone and quickly typed two words in the team channel.

【receive】

Putting away his phone, Wang Hu's mood immediately improved. He wasn't in a hurry to take action; instead, he took steady, cat-like steps and began to circle around Kazama, who was kneeling on the ground, with great interest.

This guy's abilities are quite interesting.

Both men manipulate the wind, but the former relies more on instinct for acceleration, gliding, or creating large-scale gales. This Japanese man, however, can compress the wind into condensed blades for attack.

Although the power of that wind blade was negligible to me, I could learn from its exquisite control techniques.

Perhaps, in the near future, I will be able to develop similar attack methods.

Just as Wang Hu was pondering how to create wind blades with the wind, two military vehicles sped towards them from a distance.

After stopping beside Wang Hu, a team of fully armed members of the superhuman squad quickly jumped off the military vehicle. After getting off, they greeted Wang Hu one by one, and then quickly surrounded Kazama.

The captain saluted Wang Hu, then without hesitation plunged a specially made tranquilizer into Kazama's neck.

Kazama didn't even utter a sound before his body went limp and he collapsed.

"Brother Tiger, we've taken this guy with us," the captain reported respectfully.

"In addition, the technical department just reported that the Japanese superhuman named Kamiya in the hotel has also been confirmed dead. Analysis shows that his death is directly related to the Hydra shadow you tore apart earlier."

"So Chief Qin specifically asked me to tell you that your merit tonight is three hundred."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was secretly delighted, and a very humane and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Another hundred merit points earned.

Tonight's trip yielded a total of three hundred merit points, a harvest far more abundant than expected.

After Kazama was taken away, Wang Hu stretched. His mission for the night was complete. Now he just wanted to go back quickly, find a comfortable place, and get a good night's sleep.

As he thought this, his massive body swayed and disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

……

In stark contrast to the comfortable and pleasant atmosphere on Wang Hu's side, the atmosphere in the hotel room where the Japanese delegation was staying was gloomy and desolate.

The remaining eight members of the delegation stared blankly at the gruesome corpse on the ground.

They are now facing a huge problem.

How can we explain to the Chinese side why one member of their ten-person team disappeared without a trace, while another died suddenly in his room?

Early the next morning, the head of the delegation, Shinichiro Koizumi, with two huge dark circles under his eyes, took the initiative to find the Chinese personnel responsible for receiving them.

"I need an explanation!" Shinichiro Koizumi adopted a haughty attitude, slamming his fist on the table in anger as soon as he arrived.

"One of our members, Kazama-kun, went missing last night! And another member, Kamiya-kun, died mysteriously in his room!"

"I strongly suspect this is an assassination attempt targeting our Japanese delegation! If you cannot provide us with a satisfactory answer, we will immediately expose this matter to the public and let the international community judge!"

Upon hearing this, the young official in charge of receiving them maintained his smile.

He spoke with a hint of sorrow, "We deeply mourn Mr. Kamiya's passing. Please accept our condolences, and that of your delegation."

He changed the subject and continued in a gentle but authoritative tone.

"In order to find out the cause of Mr. Kamiya's death as soon as possible and give you an explanation, we need to take his body away for a detailed examination. Please rest assured that we will use the most professional technology to find out the truth."

Upon hearing this, Shinichiro Koizumi's expression stiffened, and a feeling of resistance immediately welled up in his heart.

He knew perfectly well what the Chinese wanted to do with Kamiya's body. That was the number one superhuman in Japan's military strength; every inch of his body was of unparalleled value for the study of superhuman power.

But the young official's posture was not at all indicative of a consultation with him.

It was to inform him.

Before Shinichiro Koizumi could refuse, a team of members from the Extraordinary Squad, dressed in white protective suits, walked in and went straight to Kamiya's body, skillfully placing it into a specially made metal storage coffin.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest pause.

Shinichiro Koizumi was stunned as he watched Kamiya's body being taken away.

He felt an unprecedentedly strong response from China.

Don't they care at all about the impact on international public opinion?

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.

Moreover, being in Yong'an City, this is the absolute territory of the Hua Kingdom.

Even if he was angry, resentful, or even terrified, there was nothing he could do.

"You...you're committing robbery!"

Shinichiro Koizumi trembled with rage: "I want to take my people back to Japan immediately! I demand to return to Japan at once!"

The smile on the receptionist's face remained unchanged.

"Of course. If you insist on leaving, we can arrange your return trip right now."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and kindly reminded him again.

"By the way, Mr. Koizumi. Our Chief Qin originally planned to personally meet with your delegation tomorrow morning and give you a formal explanation for the unfortunate events that occurred last night."

"If you leave now, we can only express our deepest regret."

The anger on Shinichiro Koizumi's face froze instantly.

He came here on an important mission.

The mission has made no progress and two of the country's top superhumans have been lost. If he were to return in such a disgraceful manner, he would inevitably have to bear all the responsibility.

Perhaps... we should stay another day.

Let's hear what kind of explanation General Qin, who commands this steel fortress, will give.

Thinking of this, Shinichiro Koizumi forced a very strained expression onto his face.

"Since General Qin is so sincere, then we will wait one more day!"

"However, in protest against your domineering actions today, from this moment on, we refuse to accept any further travel arrangements!"

He emphasized his words, announcing them slowly and deliberately.

"Furthermore, we will go on a hunger strike to demonstrate our resolve!"
