“Where’s the lady boss?” A bunch of men were clad in leather armor and wielded blades. Their murderous spirit was extremely intense.

If anything happened to the lady boss, even if Her Majesty didn’t skin them alive, they would be too embarrassed to continue working for her.

“Let’s wait. That girl called just now to say that they are still trying to locate the lady boss and that she will inform us once they have found him.” Xu Wei sat down on the sofa and put his blade down. He caressed his scabbard and said, “Thinking about it, it has been a long time since I last spilled blood. My blade is craving it so badly!”

“Killing generals, conquering nations, and exterminating people are our forte. We can’t rely on those people to save lady boss—they are too weak,” Xiong Ying said.

He had previously tagged along with the Messier 87 department to travel to Japan in search of the two missing people and was unimpressed by their fighting capabilities.

“By rights, lady boss’s strength is fairly acceptable now! Even though he hasn’t measured it yet, there shouldn’t be anybody in this country who can defeat him, right? I have seen those wrestling competitions on the television and all of them look weak. It’s as if they were ladies from Great Xia. How could lady boss have gotten captured? Even if they had guns, they still shouldn’t be able to deal with him.”

“Shi Tong and Jiang Yuanshan were accompanying him. Where are they?”

“They are currently with the Messier 87 department and seem fine. We can only find out more when we see them,” Xu Wei answered.

The winged cavalry warriors chatted for a bit and concluded that there wasn’t much they could do at the moment. They could only wait for an update. They closed their eyes to rest and prepare for the big fight that was to come.

The winged cavalry warriors had seen many cases of life and death on the battlefield. They were also used to the practice of honing and preserving their strength before fights.

Shen Feng didn’t notice anything amiss when she walked to the door. When she opened the door and stepped in, the ten idle man bears who sat there resting immediately opened their eyes. The room seemed to light up from the cold gleams emitting from their eyes.

This made her feel as if ten ferocious beasts were about to pounce on their prey. Actually, they looked even scarier than beasts.

They completely lost the indolent look that they used to have.

Shen Feng subconsciously took a step back before she came to understand the situation. This was an unconditioned reflex and these people wouldn’t attack her anyway.

“Where is lady boss?” Xu Wei asked Shen Feng as he watched her step out and back again.

“A department called Messier 87 notified me, but I’m not exactly sure either. However, I just had a conversation on the phone with them before I came here, and they are still trying to locate lady boss. They will inform me immediately when they have news, and that’s why I came here to wait as well.”

Everyone heard what she said and shut their eyes again.

“What are you wearing this leather armor for? Performing opera? If you wear this on the streets, you are practically telling everyone that you are out to create trouble,” Shen Feng said as she looked at them.

The winged cavalry warriors pondered for a moment before realizing that this wasn’t Dayao and that they weren’t going to fight a war.

Even though they had only been killing people and had never been on a rescue mission, they thought about it and felt that it was indeed inappropriate to be dressed like this on the streets.

The winged cavalry warriors went to change back into their sports attire, but still kept their long blades in hand. Everyone was silent. While a few of them continued resting, the rest simply sat there and caressed their scabbards.

Shen Feng couldn’t stand it any longer after staying in the room for five minutes with this atmosphere. It was too suffocating.

It wasn’t an emotion constraint caused by the silence.

The air inside the room felt so dense and confined that it was difficult to breathe.

She felt as if she were surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Three hours later, they finally received the news that they were waiting for.

A satellite had located the speedboat.

It had also seen Ren Baqian getting brought inside a submarine.

The other party was capable of deploying those covert agents for this task and even had a submarine. Although the Messier 87 department was unable to trace where the submarine was heading, they were still able to guess the destination.

It was the only place where a submarine could dock and was also that country’s largest naval base in the western Pacific Ocean.

After obtaining the exact information, Yang Sen pondered for a moment because there were thousands of navy sailors there.

However, Ren Baqian’s safety was more important and they couldn’t afford to fail.

They would give it their all, even if that meant causing havoc.

For this reason, the other party even deployed more than ten experts to defend the base who were all at the Man Wheel level and had been trained by the military. Even though they didn’t have the terrifying strength of those cavemen, when equipped with firearms, they were very suited for an infiltration operation like this.

…

At present, even though he was locked up in the brig with the brown-haired guy and Dentist, Ren Baqian was going on the first submarine experience of his life.

He was prepared to cause havoc once they arrived at the base before slipping back home.

With his current strength, as long as he didn’t get surrounded in an open space, he would still be safe.

At worst, he would just find somewhere to hide for a day and then travel back to Dayao.

In any case, Ren Baqian would surely be able to give them hell.

He had to make getting screwed over by the tranquilizer seem intentional. This way, he could at least save some face.

The nation had always treated him and the empress with the proper respect, but wasn’t this all just because of her strength? If others knew that he got screwed over by an anesthesia shot, they would probably look down on him.

Ren Baqian had always believed in one thing, which was to bare his fangs. He could save a lot of trouble this way.

If he were to be belittled, many problems would arise in the future.

If he were to play weak and try to take down such a large scale enemy like an entire nation, he might truly become very weak.

While Ren Baqian was planning his moves, it was the same for the brown-haired guy.

Once they arrived at the base, if they couldn’t even take down one person with their numbers, they would practically become a laughingstock.

The two of them were making their own plans, but had forgotten that things didn’t usually turn out as planned.

Especially when Ren Baqian was being closely monitored by some sh*t stirrer.

After the submarine traveled for less than two hours, it came to a halt.

Dentist left the brig to ask around and learned that the propeller had gotten tangled with some fishing nets. They had to surface the submarine above the water and clear those nets away from the propeller.

Upon hearing this, Dentist went back to the brig and gave Ren Baqian a complex look before he lowered his head and stayed silent.

Sure enough, there was another mishap.

What would the next accident be? When would it happen?

Dentist drew the sign of the cross over his forehead and chest.

The next mishap came very quickly.

When the submarine was in the middle of the emergency surfacing, everyone suddenly felt an intense tremor. It was as if the submarine had collided into something.

Ren Baqian’s heart immediately skipped a beat. Nothing better happened to this submarine. If it did, he would have to fight for all the remaining oxygen by killing everyone else onboard so that he could survive for another day and a half.

Little did he know that the oxygen production facilities in the submarine, by means of electrolysis and liquified oxygen tanks, were sufficient to keep the entire crew alive for up to three months.

If that really happened, all that could be said was that the people in the submarine were out of luck.

Thankfully, none of this happened and the submarine safely ascended to the surface of the ocean.

Dentist went out again to ask around and came back with a few pieces of news.

First, there were some problems with the sonar system of the submarine, and they didn’t realize that there was a Japanese fishing boat above them when they ascended to the surface. They originally thought that it was an abandoned fishing net that had entangled the propeller since such things would occasionally happen. However, it seemed like this wasn’t the current case.

Second, the fishing boat had capsized, causing over ten people to fall into the ocean. The sailors from the submarine were currently inspecting the submarine for damage and also assisting the victims of that fishing boat.

Third, this submarine probably couldn’t dive anymore and was in the middle of contacting other ships to pick them up.

As Dentist shared the news, he repeatedly looked over at Ren Baqian.

Sure enough, there was another mishap.

If he could, he would really want to abandon this mission, immediately leave this place, and get as far away from Ren Baqian as possible.

Even the brown-haired guy had an unfathomable gleam in his eyes.

Another accident had actually happened.

Accidents had happened while driving, while on the speedboat, and now in the submarine…

Was God really that fond of Ren Baqian?

After making enemies out people like him, what benefits could there be for Dentist?
