Southern Country, the capital city.

This is the heart of Southern Country, where the headquarters of the top three wealthy clans are all located.

At the capital city international airport, a young man wearing beach shorts and a floral shirt leaned against an old minivan, muttering to himself as he watched the airport exit, "People from Long Ya? Are they up to the task? If it wasn't for our department's folks all investigating the Gene Potion, there'd be no need for them to come. I just hope this bunch doesn't end up being more of a hindrance than a help."

The young man's voice was so low that no one but himself could make out what he was saying, yet a man and a woman not far from him both turned to look at him.

"What a beauty, that figure, with curves in all the right places, that slender waist, absolutely mesmerizing. If only I could... heh heh." Upon noticing the gaze of the man and woman, the young man turned his head, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the woman, as a knowing laugh came from his mouth.

The man and woman frowned and walked over to the young man, who suddenly felt as if the sky had darkened.

He had only been paying attention to the woman, but now he noticed the man by her side was two meters tall with a broad back and waist, one who could easily count for three of him.

"Can I help you two?" the young man wasn't intimidated by the man's imposing figure; instead, he deliberately glanced at the woman's chest before defiantly looking at the man.

"To think someone from the Yanhuang organization could be so sleazy!" the woman said coldly.

The young man's expression changed drastically, and his face became stern. He glanced around and, seeing no one was paying attention to them, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said in a low voice, "Lady, there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly."

"With just your Semi Innate strength, you think you can take me on?" the corner of the woman's mouth curved in a smile as a discreet yet powerful aura emanated from her, pressing down on the young man with force.

The young man's face turned deathly pale; although the aura vanished in a flash, he felt the unmistakable presence of death!

"Who... who are you?" the young man asked with a look of resolution in his eyes, his face heavy as he gazed at the woman.

The woman smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous; we're with the person you're meeting, just arrived a bit earlier that's all."

"You... you are also people from Long Ya?" the young man asked in astonishment.

The woman shook her head, "My name is Xing Fei. I'm not from within Long Ya, but the chief instructor of Long Ya is my big brother!"

"Mengte De'er, Mr. Jiang's escort!" Mengte De'er spoke softly, as an aura briefly flared.

The young man's expression changed this way and that. He had just been hoping that the people who were about to arrive would not be a burden to him and his peers. Yet here were two individuals, one matching his own strength and the other even more powerful than him—this reality slapped him in the face faster than he expected!

"I'm Huang Feng."

The young man awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth, introducing himself quietly. Since Mengte De'er had used Mr. Jiang's title and stated his purpose, it was clear they were on the same side.

Xing Fei and her companion gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

The three of them fell silent, waiting patiently.

"They're here!"

After a while, Xing Fei's eyes brightened, and she stepped towards the airport exit, followed by Mengte De'er.

Huang Feng paused, looked up at the exit with a puzzled expression on his face.

They're here? Where?

But when Huang Feng saw Xing Fei and her companion stop in front of a group of seven, his facial expression became very animated.

First surprised, then puzzled, and soon a subtle hint of extreme anger appeared on his face.

At that moment, Xing Fei, leading Jiang Chen and his group, approached Huang Feng and pointed at him, introducing, "This is him!"

Jiang Chen cracked a slight smile and extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Jiang Chen."

Huang Feng looked at Jiang Chen with an iron-blue face and said indifferently, "Get in the car."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, while Xing Fei and the others frowned.

Huang Feng ignored the reactions of Jiang Chen and the others, turning to take the driver's seat in the van.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, called out to Xing Fei and the others, and got into the van.

Wuu wuu...

The dilapidated van left the airport with a rattle.

...

In a run-down factory building in the West Suburb, six people, four men and two women, were discussing.

"Big Sister, what level of people do you think the family will send? Surely they won't send several Heavenly Level Grandmasters?" A man dressed in denim asked the woman in leather beside him.

The woman in leather slightly furrowed her brows, "I hope not. If a few Heavenly Level Grandmasters come, that would be worse than none at all!"

Wuu wuu...

The sound of an engine started up, and a run-down van drove into the factory building.

"Here they come, let's see. If they're not helpful, we might as well send them back instead of letting them hold us back," the denim-clad man said with a sneer.

Squeak!

The van stopped in front of the six people; the driver's side door opened, and Huang Feng quickly stepped out, hurrying to the woman in leather, and whispered, "Big Sister, they've brought nine people, which includes someone from Beixiong Nation and three from the Northern Alliance!"

"What?" The woman in leather and the others were taken aback and frowned.

Thud thud thud!

Jiang Chen and the others got out of the van and came over to Huang Feng and his group. After scanning the seven people, Jiang Chen asked softly, "Which of you is Captain Vermilion Bird?"

"I'm Vermilion Bird." The woman in leather stepped forward, scanning the eight people behind Jiang Chen with a serious expression, "You must be Instructor Jiang, right? I need you to explain, what's the deal with this person from Beixiong Nation and these three from the Northern Alliance?"

"They are my men, you can trust them," Jiang Chen replied with a slight frown, somewhat uncomfortable with Vermilion Bird's domineering manner.

"Your men? Do you have any idea how important this mission is? If they turn out to be spies and our mission fails because of them, can you bear that responsibility?" the denim-clad man interjected coldly.

Jiang Chen looked at the man in denim with a detached gaze and replied impassively, "They are my brothers, and I trust my brothers. If you think they can't take part in this mission, then I'll withdraw. You can complete the mission on your own!"

"You, what do you mean? Are you threatening us?"

The man in denim was furious and charged forward with a shout, "Mind your position, please! You might be the Head Instructor at Long Ya, but here, you're just a soldier awaiting orders, don't bring your Long Ya Head Instructor's temperament here!"

"A soldier awaiting orders?" Jiang Chen's eyebrows knitted together, he asked in disbelief, "Isn't this mission led by me?"

"Haha! You're thinking too much. Who do you think you are? You thought you were in charge? With just the likes of you, what can you do?"

The denim-clad man spoke with a cold laugh, "You might have the title of the best in special operations at home, but in our eyes, you're just a group of kids who have won a street fight. I alone can handle the lot of you!"

As he spoke, the man in denim provocatively waved his fist at Jiang Chen.
