Just when everyone thought Chen Bufan's villa was about to be blown up and the battle was nearing its end, something shocking happened.

The incomplete building occupied by two hundred Taiji Tiger gang members exploded and collapsed!

With a violent explosion, the load-bearing column on one side of the building near the gang's convoy was destroyed.

This caused the building to tilt, and the entire structure came crashing down!

The gang members, who had been hiding behind cars, ready to provide covering fire, panicked and fled in all directions.

But the collapse was too fast, the towering building came down overwhelmingly. Apart from some mutants and those near the outskirts who managed to escape, those in the middle had no chance.

Some people were simply petrified with fear, their legs trembling as they watched the building collapse, and the next moment, they were completely buried by the debris.

Rumble~~~~!

The fallen building even buried two other villas in the distance. A cloud of dust shot up into the sky, and ashes scattered everywhere.

Out of the hundred vehicles brought by Taiji Tiger, over thirty were directly buried, and another thirty were damaged.

Approximately one hundred and fifty people remained, with nearly half buried under the collapsed building.

All gunfire ceased at that moment, and only the cries of the wounded gang members echoed continuously.

Fortunately, spectators were unharmed, as they were at a distance and witnessed the spectacular collapse.

No one believed this collapse was an accident; there's no such coincidence in the world.

Everyone was just amazed by Chen Bufan's capabilities. He could secretly hide dozens of people in the villa unnoticed and quietly demolish an incomplete building.

The Taiji Tiger members could establish themselves on Wanguo Island, certainly not fools, yet they still suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Chen Bufan.

It could only be said that this person's abilities were too strong, and his thinking meticulous enough.

This battle no longer needed to continue, even though Taiji Tiger still had over seventy people, it was of no use.

Completely losing the desire to fight, even if they were held at gunpoint, they wouldn't go up to court death.

Those who survived could no longer heed orders; as long as they could still move, they fled immediately.

Those who could drive did so, and those who couldn't limped away, determined not to stay.

Not only did they leave, but even in the TV broadcast room, Jin Zhixian turned away angrily.

The broadcast ended halfway.

The female host quickly grabbed the departing Cao Zhenxu: "President Cao, what do you think of Chen Bufan?"

Cao Zhenxu forced a smile: "Well... he's a bold young man. However, the landscape of Wanguo Island is already set; it won't be easy for him to rise. Let's wait and see."

......

Both the TV broadcast and the battle ended anticlimactically. No one anticipated that Chen Bufan would completely defeat Taiji Tiger by demolishing a building.

Yes, completely defeated. The previous day's battle could be excused by Taiji Tiger being unprepared, but this time there was no excuse.

They were fully prepared, even brought out all their resources, yet were still utterly defeated. There was no justifying it.

There was speculation that Taiji Tiger wouldn't let this rest, and possibly there might be a third battle between the two sides.

But by Monday, everything was different.

.......

The offices on Wanguo Island finally opened, and Tanya immediately went to apply for permanent residency.

Her application went smoothly. As a rare female Level 2 Mutant, she received very good treatment, with White Eagle Country even offering her a high-paying job.

Tanya only stalled a bit with the other party and, after obtaining residency, immediately invited the Dawn Army to land on the island.

That morning, the entire Guard Company of the Dawn Army, along with personnel from the Military Intelligence Bureau, boarded a White Eagle Country passenger ship and landed on Wanguo Island.

The Guard Company totaled one hundred and thirty people, the Military Intelligence Bureau ten people, two engineers, and Ye Fan even went off the island to ensure forty Magnetic Storm Infantry and two special forces soldiers joined them, making a total of one hundred and eighty-four people.

They also brought the military dog Xiaotian along, and once everyone was on the island, they immediately drove the vehicles bought locally and headed back to the villa area en masse.

The arrival of his subordinates allowed Ye Fan to breathe a sigh of relief.

With these one hundred and eighty-plus people, Ye Fan felt confident enough to guard the villa area.

He called over the communications officer, Wang Meng, "Check with the main force, where are they now?"

Wang Meng immediately made contact and soon reported back to Ye Fan.

"Sir, the main force has currently arrived in Golden City."

"Oh, moving quickly, aren't they?"

"Yes, sir, the main force opted to take the highway, and the main obstacle on the highway is damaged bridges, which our engineers can quickly repair, so they are expected to arrive ten days ahead of schedule."

"How long until they reach the other side of the Celestial River?"

"It is estimated to take another thirteen days to half a month."

Ye Fan thought for a moment: "Make it quicker, have them take the coastal roads. There are basically no people by the sea, so this not only avoids the Loose Province warlord bases but also boosts speed. Have the War Eagle Team accompany and drive away the seagulls along the route; they must arrive within ten days."

"Understood, I'll convey your orders to the main force right away."

After a while, the communications officer replied again: "Our engineers have already calculated it, and according to your method, we should be able to arrive within ten days."

Ye Fan nodded. The main force would arrive in ten days. He only needed to stay on the island for ten more days.

During these ten days, he needed to familiarize himself with all the arrangements on the island, especially the military deployments on Wanguo Island.

He had to grasp the number of enemy troops, understand the deployment of their forces, and then he could make targeted combat simulations.

He called over Shen Ruihui: "Currently, there's no way to replenish your personnel, but your Military Intelligence Bureau must also make full preparations. In the next few days, try to infiltrate the enemy and bring back detailed intelligence for me."

Shen Ruihui nodded: "Rest assured, officer, I guarantee to uncover all enemy arrangements."

Ye Fan then issued an order to the communicator, instructing him to contact John's troops.

After raising soldiers for a thousand days, it's time for these foreign troops to play their role.

Then, Ye Fan called Tanya over, allowing her to join his Guard Company directly, becoming a close protector just like Zhuge Yunxue.

This beauty from White Eagle Country had, in yesterday's battle, advanced to Three-Star in one move.

She destroyed that half-finished building, directly taking out two hundred people inside, which instantly promoted her two levels to become a Three-Star Hero.

This Three-Star Hero was stronger than all the other Heroes of the Dawn Army; she was practically a Level 3 Mutant, and with her protecting Ye Fan, Ye Fan's safety could be greatly ensured.

After arranging all the work, Ye Fan took another look at the construction progress of the dock.

There was one day left until the dock would be completed.

However, it was not the time to deploy it yet. Before the main force arrived, if the dock were discovered, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Ye Fan knew that his real crisis was actually coming from Jiangzhou.

A wanted order had been issued on Wanguo Island, targeting Ye Fan, not Chen Bufan.

Fortunately, he came dressed in disguise, or else it would have been dangerous.

But it was hard to say how long this could be concealed; at this moment, Ye Fan had to grasp first-hand information.

And the source of the first-hand information, of course, came from the multinational parliament of Wanguo Island.

Ye Fan decided he wanted to become a council member.

.....

The arrival of these people also drew attention from all sides.

Shanshen Country's Jin Zhixian couldn't help but sigh. He knew he had already missed the best opportunity to take out Chen Bufan.

Meanwhile, Cao Zhenxu of Qinghongmen also grew nervous. He wasn't very worried about Ye Fan because the latter didn't have a solid base, and settling on Wanguo Island would require some twists and turns.

But the sudden arrival of nearly two hundred people made him have to be nervous.

Now he was a bit worried, concerned that Ye Fan would come to compete for the council member's position.

After defeating Shanshen Country, the support for Ye Fan among the Qin Han People on the island had become very strong. After all, Cao Zhenxu had been the boss for so long without any achievements, but Ye Fan had defeated Shanshen Country as soon as he arrived, giving the Qin Han People a considerable morale boost.

There's a saying that what you fear most often comes true. After Ye Fan's people arrived, he directly announced the formal establishment of the Wanguo Island Restoration Society, with himself, Chen Bufan, as the president, and that he would participate in the council member election on Thursday.

The announcement of this news immediately aroused great attention among the Qin Han People on the island.

The person who had consecutively defeated Shanshen Country had gained significant fame for Ye Fan.

Ye Fan also put forth his campaign slogan, which was to ensure the Qin Han People on Wanguo Island would not be bullied by anyone.

Once this slogan was proposed, it immediately received the response of the majority of the Qin Han People.

They had been bullied for too long, their inner grievances indescribable.

Now someone had come willing to wield the sword, and most people hoped he could be elected.

Only on the Qinghongmen side, Cao Zexu felt a bit uncomfortable.

.......

"Boss, we have already contacted many voters. Aside from some of our staunch supporters, most people are vague. I think they are very likely to vote for Chen Bufan."

Cao Zhenxu listened to his subordinate's report, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"Chen Bufan has made such a big sensation in such a short time, indeed he's got some skills. We might be in some trouble this time."

"Boss, what should we do now? Assassinate? Or challenge them to a fight?"

Cao Zhenxu shook his head slightly: "Neither option is suitable. Chen Bufan now doesn't leave the villa, so there's no chance for assassination. Challenging them to a fight is out of the question; just look at the fate of Taegeuk Tiger."

"Are we just going to watch him get elected?"

Cao Zhenxu sneered: "Not necessarily. Now, prepare funds for me. There are roughly three hundred eligible voters this time. Prepare a billion in funds, offering twenty million to each. If twenty million is not enough, then thirty million. If thirty million is still not enough, then fifty million. I don't believe these people all view money as dirt!"

His subordinates' eyes lit up. This method was simple and straightforward, without any technical content, but it was most direct and effective.

This round of monetary offensive was sure to have an effect.

A subordinate proposed another opinion: "Boss, if Chen Bufan also throws money, we might not achieve the desired effect."

Cao Zhenxu thought for a moment: "Contact Zheng Jinnan, the Grand Duke of Jiangzhou, again. He's always wanted to win me over, and I've never agreed. I hope this time Jiangzhou can provide me with some military support."

"What support do you need from them?"

"Hasn't Jiangzhou recently refitted an aircraft carrier? Have them bring one over. After the council member election, there's a three-day review by the parliament. If the aircraft carrier can arrive at that time, then the parliament will understand the intentions of Grand Duke Zheng Jinnan. At that time, the parliament members will have no choice but to choose to support me."
