I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Wang Mingjun laughed and asked, "What's wrong, Yina? Who bullied you again?"

"Brother Jun, you be the judge. Do you think there are dragons in other worlds?"

"dragon?"

Wang Mingjun looked up at the others in confusion. A colleague laughed and said, "We were just chatting with Yina, and we were talking about the other world we're going to. Yina said she wanted to go to the other world to see dragons. We said that there might not be dragons in the other world, and that made her unhappy."

Hearing this, Wang Mingjun was both amused and exasperated. Could such a small thing really make Li Yina angry? How low was this girl's temper threshold?

Li Yina immediately snorted, "There must be dragons. There are even strange and bizarre monsters in other worlds. Logically speaking, it should be normal for there to be flying dragons."

Another colleague, suppressing a laugh, said, "Not necessarily. If we follow common sense, it would be quite normal if there were no flying dragons."

Seeing this, Wang Mingjun quickly interrupted everyone.

"Why don't you make a bet with Ina? If there are no dragons, Ina will treat everyone to our first meal in the other world. If there are dragons, Ina will still treat everyone, but we'll pay for it ourselves. How about that?"

"Let's gamble!"

Li Yina reluctantly accepted Wang Mingjun's suggestion, and the others naturally had no objections, since they were just teasing Li Yina in the first place.

Time flew by, and it was time to board the ship. After several layers of checks, the first batch of personnel participating in the cross-border project boarded the Blue Ocean destroyer. Then, the Blue Ocean and several other warships slowly turned around and sailed away from Qingshan City naval port, heading towards the center of Bohai Bay.

After less than two hours of sailing, several destroyers, led by the Blue Ocean, had arrived in the waters near the Gate of the World.

On the deck, all the people involved in the cross-border project stood excitedly on one side of the ship's side, straining to see the thick fog on the sea directly in front of them.

Since China released information about the other world, countless people online have been filled with curiosity about the Gate to Another World, the gateway to that world. Due to the Chinese navy's blockade of the Bohai Sea, information about the Gate to Another World is extremely scarce. People can only speculate about its appearance through bits and pieces of gossip and news reports. Some guess that the Gate to Another World is a light curtain, through which one arrives in the other world; others say it's a circular opening. But regardless, no one would have imagined that the Gate to Another World is actually a vast, shrouded fog over the ocean.

"I never imagined the Gate to the World would be shrouded in such thick fog..."

Wang Mingjun looked surprised and immediately took out his phone to take a picture of the Gate to the World.

After leaving the naval port, taking photos and videos was permitted, and everyone around took out their phones and cameras to capture memorable moments in the thick fog.

As the warship drew closer to the Gate of the World, the fog gradually obscured everyone's view.

Li Yina asked, somewhat puzzled, "So we've already entered the Gate of the World?"

A colleague said, "Probably."

"But why don't I feel anything?"

Wang Mingjun laughed and said, "I didn't feel anything either. Maybe I wouldn't have felt anything in the first place."

Despite the thick fog obscuring their vision, everyone on deck was incredibly excited to step through the Gate of the World. For the next few hours, as they traveled through the fog, their enthusiastic discussions never ceased, until the fog suddenly began to thin, revealing a breathtaking view.

We've arrived in Teyvat.

On the deck, many people excitedly stood up and looked into the distance, but the next second, looking at the sea and blue sky that were exactly the same as those on Earth, many of them became a little confused.

"Have we arrived in another world?"

"Is this really another world? It feels just like Earth."

However, at that moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky above. When everyone looked up, they saw a blue dragon, as big as a ship, flapping its wings and rushing toward the fleet in the distance. The next second, it swept over the sky above them and flew away into the distance.

Everyone was stunned by the shocking scene.

At this moment, for the first time, everyone truly felt that they had arrived in a completely different world from Earth.

However, while everyone was still in shock, one person was more concerned about another issue.

Li Yina reached out and pinched her blank-faced little face, murmuring to herself.

"Am I dreaming...? So... I don't have to treat everyone tonight?"

Chapter 457 Secret Operation

In New York City, White King District, Thorn Street, in front of the Parker Meat Processing Plant, a black SUV slowly pulled up in front of the factory gate.

Inside the monitoring room at the factory gate, two guards in dark gray uniforms saw the vehicles in front of the gate through the monitoring room window, and then one of them pushed open the door and came out.

The guard approached the driver's side of the SUV and gently knocked on the window. The dark sunshade slowly rolled down, revealing the face of a Chinese-American man wearing black sunglasses in the driver's seat. At the same time, a scantily clad Chinese-American woman was in the passenger seat.

"Hello sir, may I ask what brings you two here?"

The man rested one hand on the steering wheel, tilted his head, and said, "I'm here to do some business."

"To conduct business? Do you have an appointment with our factory manager?"

"of course."

The man took a card from the inside pocket of his expensive handmade suit and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the card, glanced at it, and immediately nodded, saying, "Oh, it's Mr. Johnson. Our boss is in the processing plant. Please come in."

As the guard returned the card to the man, another guard in the monitoring room opened the factory gate. Then the man stepped on the gas, and the SUV drove deeper into the processing plant.

After driving into the processing plant, the man in the driver's seat casually tossed the card aside and chuckled, "I didn't expect such a small card to be so useful. But I don't really like the name 'Josen'."

The woman in the passenger seat rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean by 'little card'? I put a lot of effort into making this, you think copying one is so easy? And you even picked a name? The name 'Johnson' fits your playboy persona perfectly, doesn't it?"

Faced with the woman's teasing, the man smiled helplessly.

Qiao Sen is not the man's real name. His real name is Duan Chong, and the woman sitting next to him is named Yan Anhe. Both of them are field agents belonging to the external operations department of the China National Security Bureau.

The two of them, disguised as a playboy and a girl, have appeared in this inconspicuous meat processing plant, which is far away from China across the ocean, precisely to carry out a special secret mission.

Duan Chong asked, "Have you determined the target's appearance time?"

Yan Anhe nodded: "The target will appear in the fourth match."

"it is good."

Duan Chong said with a deep gaze, "Remember, don't reveal any flaws. We only have one chance. If this operation fails, it won't be so easy to find him again next time."

"Don't worry, my acting skills are Oscar-worthy."

As the two were talking, the SUV had already arrived at the deepest part of the processing plant and stopped in an open space in front of a factory building.

Of course, though it was called an open space, it wasn't empty at all. At this moment, the open space was filled with all sorts of luxury cars; even the cheapest one was worth millions. Meanwhile, in front of the factory building, several burly men in black vests with fierce eyes stood like gatekeepers on either side of the factory gate, tightly guarding the roller shutter door. All of this indicated that this meat processing plant was not as simple as it appeared.

Duan Chong got out of the car, and Yan Anhe got out of the passenger seat and naturally took Duan Chong's arm, looking just like a couple deeply in love.

The two walked to the factory gate and showed the cards they had previously received to the people at the gate again.

"Welcome, Mr. Johnson."

The guard at the door nodded to Duan Chong and his companion, then pulled up the roller shutter door, revealing the elevator behind it. Guided by the guard, the two boarded the elevator, which then slowly descended.

Half a minute later, the elevator stopped, the elevator doors opened, and Duan Chong and his companion stepped out of the elevator. The next second, they could hear a series of clear roars and howls coming from the passageway in front of the elevator.

As you walk to the end of the passage, the view suddenly opens up.

This is a stadium resembling an ancient Roman amphitheater, with a central arena surrounded by barbed wire and tiered seating for spectators.

At this moment, on the ring in the center of the arena, two shirtless men were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat, while countless spectators in the stands roared and cheered excitedly as the two punched each other in the face.

Yes, the meat processing plant is just a facade; its true purpose is actually the largest underground boxing ring in New New York City.

Led by staff, Duan Chong and Yan Anhe sat down in a corner of the audience.

After the staff left, Duan Chong chuckled softly, "Although I knew from intelligence that this was an underground boxing ring before coming, seeing it with my own eyes is still quite astonishing. I wonder how many other exclusive entertainment venues for the wealthy like this exist in major cities across the United States..."

Yan Anhe clicked her tongue and said, "To be honest, given the rampant nature of capitalism in the United States, I wouldn't be surprised if the news reported that their president appeared in an underground boxing ring one day."

Since Duan Chong and Yan Anhe's goal for this operation was to appear in the fourth match, and the second match of the day was currently taking place in the boxing ring, the two of them sat in the audience and waited patiently for nearly an hour.

Until the end of the third match, when the ring was cleared, the two fighters were highly focused.

"This is the fourth game."

Duan Chong said something, his gaze fixed on the entrance to the boxing ring.

At this moment, the host also appeared on the stage to warm up for the fourth match.

"Next, let's welcome the current holder of the undefeated record of ninety-nine consecutive wins with your roars—the Black Emperor!"

As the host finished speaking, the audience in the stands became extremely excited.

"Black Emperor! Black Emperor! Black Emperor!"

Amidst the shouts of the audience, a burly man over two meters tall with a bushy beard slowly walked out from the entrance of the ring on one side and let out a roar towards the audience. Instantly, the audience in the stands became even more excited.

"Black Emperor! Black Emperor!"

The host, microphone in hand, continued shouting, "If the Black Emperor defeats his opponent today, he will achieve an unprecedented 100-game winning streak!"

"And today his opponent is the devil known for his ruthless and brutal attacks—Destruction, who has recently emerged as a force to be reckoned with, winning eighteen consecutive matches, including fifteen of them where he defeated his opponents in under thirty seconds!"

"Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!"

The audience erupted once again in roars that were no less deafening than the previous calls for the Black Emperor's name.

At this moment, a person completely shrouded in a black cloak appeared at the entrance to the arena on the other side, and his appearance brought even more shouts.

"Destruction! Destruction!"

"Today, will the God of War, Black Emperor, achieve a legendary hundred victories, or will the Butcher of Destruction end the God of War's winning streak? Friends, let's wait and see!"

The announcer's voice was like the referee's signal gun on a race track, instantly igniting the adrenaline of countless spectators in the stands. Roars and screams echoed throughout the boxing ring, and everyone, with red eyes and clenched fists, eagerly awaited the start of this epic battle.

In a corner of the stands, Duan Chong watched the boxer shrouded in a black robe on the ring, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"coming."

Chapter 458 The Destroyer and Corruptor

Inside the underground boxing ring, the cheers and roars of the spectators in the stands rose higher and higher.

In the corner, Duan Chong lowered his voice and said, "Let's double-check."

"It has been confirmed."

As Yan Anhe spoke, she flipped up the side of her denim pencil skirt, revealing a cell phone-sized electronic device attached to the inside—a detector of destructive aura.

At this moment, the detector's indicator light was flashing red, and its electronic display screen also showed an arrow pointing directly at "Destruction," who was warming up by the edge of the ring, his entire body shrouded in a black cloak.

Yes, Duan Chong and Yan Anhe's sole purpose for this trip was to find the source of the destructive aura that erupted in New York City, M Country.

This is an unconventional approach adopted by China when it cannot openly interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, and the United States is doing nothing domestically.
