One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

“Let’s go, let’s go and take a look. The tree can be torn down, but I, Daoist, have to protect that little queen’s life. Consider it a good deed.”

"Alright! Master, that's what you call a thief's code of honor!"

Zhang Chulan immediately perked up and followed, not forgetting to whitewash his earlier banditry.

……

Deep within the royal city lies the forbidden land of the divine tree.

Joaquinna was captured and dealt with by hyenas and their men.

The hell that had always shrouded this place has completely vanished.

The atmosphere here was extremely oppressive at this moment.

King Nathan stood alone beneath the enormous divine tree that emitted a faint glow.

Her plain clothes were covered in dust, and her face was pale.

But her straight back still retained the stubbornness that belonged to a queen.

Dozens of Behemoth special forces members had formed an impenetrable encirclement around her.

The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed directly at her.

A soldier in a hazmat suit holds a mechanical collar that emits a ghostly glow.

He was cautiously approaching her, trying to put the thing around her neck.

“King Nathan, please cooperate with our work. This is just a routine security restraint device.”

The officer in charge said this, his tone carrying an unyielding firmness.

Queen Nathan did not speak; she simply stared coldly at the approaching soldier.

There was no fear in his eyes, only a resolute determination to perish together with everything.

Just a second before the soldier's hand was about to touch King Nathan's shoulder.

"Snapped."

A crisp snap of fingers suddenly rang out.

The soldier holding the neck collar suddenly felt a numbness in his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, the collar in his hand burst into a burst of sparks without warning.

It was burned to a piece of scrap metal right in his hands!

"Fuck! What's going on?!"

The soldier screamed in fright and quickly threw the scorching piece of iron to the ground.

"what happened?"

A lazy voice came from outside the encirclement.

"These American-made electronic products of yours aren't very good quality. Is there a short circuit?"

Behemoth's soldiers all turned their heads in unison.

Zhang Tianyi swaggered in with his peculiarly styled team.

Zhang Chulan went even further, walking straight up to him and pushing him aside like a reed.

He reached out and pushed the two burly men with guns blocking his way to the sides:

"Make way, make way! A good dog doesn't block the way. Can't you see our boss wants to get through?"

The two burly men instinctively wanted to retaliate, but a near-roaring warning from the hyena immediately came through their earpieces:

"Put your guns down! All of you, point your guns at the floor! Anyone who dares to point them at those guys, I'll shoot them on the spot!"

Under the hyenas' intense pressure, Behemoth's encirclement was forcibly breached.

Zhang Tianyi strolled over to Nathan King's side and glanced at the scrap metal on the ground.

He raised an eyebrow at the officer opposite him:

"Commander, can't we talk this out?"

"She's a queen, after all. You've come all this way, and without a word, you want to put a dog leash around her neck? Is this your Western gentlemanly conduct?"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand, and Zhang Chulan immediately took out a set of chair characters from his food pouch.

Zhang Tianyi sat down with an air of nonchalance.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. I'll take care of this today."

He pointed to the group of soldiers opposite him, his tone very calm:

"Go and fetch your steward named Ron."

"Just tell him that I, Zhang Tianyi, need to have a meeting with him."

……

Chapter 293 The End of Nathan Island! The Last Glimmer of the Old Gods and the Deal of the New Era!

Less than five minutes.

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

Ron Keller, a high-ranking director of Behemoth, practically ran into the Hall of the Divine Tree.

His expensive suit was stained with mud, but he didn't care at all.

Upon seeing Zhang Tianyi sitting in the chair...

Ron's face instantly lit up with a bright smile.

He even took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his attitude was incredibly warm and friendly.

"Oh dear! Master Tian Shu! I'm so sorry, the people below are ignorant and acted rather rudely, disturbing your enjoyment of the scenery!"

As Ron spoke, he casually found a stone stool opposite Zhang Tianyi and sat down.

They didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all.

"How was your experience with that warship? Would you like me to send two more professional pilots to assist you?"

Looking at Ron's shameless attitude of ignoring insults.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing exchanged a glance from behind.

"This foreigner is someone who's going to do big things," Wang Ye muttered to himself.

"Her body is as supple as noodles, she's difficult to deal with." Zhuge Qing waved his fan rapidly.

Zhang Tianyi was also amused.

Dealing with such clever people who lack martial ethics and only care about their own interests is actually the easiest thing to do.

"Alright, Ron, let's skip the formalities."

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand and got straight to the point.

"You've gone to all this trouble and made such a big fuss, isn't it all for this broken tree?"

Zhang Tianyi pointed to the Nathan Tree behind him:

"You can take this thing apart and study it however you want, I won't stop you."

"But this little queen."

Zhang Tianyi gestured with his thumb to Nathan Wang, who was standing next to him.

"I'll take it."

"Not only her, but you also cannot harm her or restrict her personal freedom. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ron's eyes darted around.

King Nathan was originally one of their only two primary targets, and they had to capture him.

But as long as Zhang Tianyi doesn't stop them from taking over the Divine Tree, all other conditions are just that—conditions!

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

Ron slapped his thigh and agreed with such decisiveness.

“Since you have given the order, we will certainly comply! Ms. Nathan Wang can leave at any time, and we will not stop her!”

however.

Just as this "friendly negotiation" was about to reach a consensus.

"I disagree!"

King Nathan, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward.

Her cold eyes were fixed on Ron, her tone revealing a stubborn determination to rather break than surrender:

"The sacred tree is Nathan's soul! As long as I am king, I will never allow you bandits to defile it!"

"If the sacred tree is destroyed, I will not live on!"

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Zhang Chulan slapped his forehead repeatedly from behind:

"Oh my queen! What time is it and you're still being stubborn?"

My advisor went to great lengths to secure a pardon for you; why don't you just accept it and be done with it? Why do you have to kowtow here?"

Ron's smile also faded a bit.

He looked at King Nathan, his eyes becoming somewhat sharp.

"Your Majesty, times have changed."

Ron spread his hands, his tone revealing the absolute rationality of a capitalist:

"This tree can transform ordinary people into superhumans with a 100% success rate! Do you know what that means?"

"This means infinite possibilities! It means breaking down the barriers of human evolution!"
