"Thank you so much for the advice."
But while Raymond was smiling, the moment he turned, a rare ferocious look appeared on his face. If a few punks could kill him, he wouldn't be called Raymond.
At that moment, dozens of flights landed from the sky... The roar of the engines made Raymond glance back, "It's the Federation's direction... Let's hope it's not the enemy this time."
Of course, the Federation wouldn't be the enemy. From a strategic perspective, the goals of all countries are clearly unified, though there's always the chance of extremists. All in all, the enemy's enemy being a friend is quite fitting for the current situation.
However, the atmosphere within the Federation was much more relaxed, mainly because most members of the Federation came from academic factions, which fancied themselves as law-abiding good citizens. Open and hidden fights might also exist, but the Federation, after all, is a developed nation with over a dozen star realms, with a floating population number reaching 200 billion. With such a huge population base, finding a hundred law-abiding good citizens isn't difficult, like Pirate King Bruce; he's a good citizen, right?
Besides, setting aside small and medium-sized forces, top bosses from lawless places like the Black Triangle or Freedom Port in Maraca have also shown their cards. Why they choose to stand on humanity's side at this moment—it's certainly not out of humanitarian contribution!
To underground bosses, money and beautiful women are insignificant; reputation, status, and territorial expansion are what they care about. With nations' joint constraints, it's hard for underground forces to appear on the world stage; like the current state of Freedom Port in Maraca, the so-called Freedom Port Hexagram is essentially six countries claiming to legally govern the land. Whether it's reasonable or not, the bigwigs dare not speak up.
To break this impasse and as a group of unruly, unaffiliated heroes, obviously, the war between the two races is the best opportunity. Because they also represent humanity, even if countries wish to intervene and suppress, they cannot politically charge a human hero. War or political extension, politics is the lever of thought; when standing at the pinnacle of public opinion, you will win everything.
Take Bruce, for example; his ambition is vast, but it is not to conquer the world. This is why the Federation dared to accept him to some extent. If not relying on the Federation, Bruce will find it difficult—not impossible—but difficult to get onto the world stage, joining this death game because he had previously offended so many people unless he changes his appearance.
Yet the current situation isn't much better; Bruce might be assassinated or revenged upon, and peculiarly, he loves how people get angry looking at him but can't do anything about it openly.
After the Federation forces landed, the partners were rolling up their sleeves and eager to start studying tactical plans. Despite how it sounds, you could easily see that over half of them were warriors who had killed, seen blood; the aura they exuded was filled with hostility, not friendly at all.
The chubby one thought of himself as a kind person, at least compared to this group of weirdly dressed monsters, he was normal, right?
He turned to look at Yita, then at the Blade Warrior beside him. Zhang Xiaobo's anxious heart finally settled a bit... Considering the injuries on Yita, the Blade Warrior had once explained that during the protection of Feng Luo and Feng Wu, Yita was hit by a punch from Sky Shadow, losing his combat ability, and the internal components hadn't been repaired yet, making the chubby one uneasy again.
He gestured timidly, "I say... is it just the three of us?"
"Let's hope so. If it really doesn't work, use the photon transmission to escape." The Blade Warrior gave him a confident sneaky grin, "Anyway, I've got plenty of money, I'm pretty and young, there's no way I'm dying here."
"You're shaking..." Yita asked the chubby guy in an emotionless tone.
"Shaking, I'm shaking a lot, come hug me for warmth." So, the chubby guy hugged Yita.
"I don't mind. I'll send this recording to Sara."
Ah! Hearing this, the chubby guy was so shocked he immediately let go of his dirty hands, not expecting this robot to learn to threaten, it's really unjust, unjust!
Suddenly, the chubby guy felt four figures with intense auras slowly approaching. As a warrior, his alertness to danger instantly brought him back to his senses.
"Yo, Fat Brother, Blade Sister, Auntie Yita, you guys are here too."
"Xiu, Xiu Yi..." The Blade Warrior scrutinized Xiu Yi from head to toe repeatedly, "No way, I saw you just a few days ago, how come you look so different now, like a different person. Are you really Xiu Yi…?"
"Ah." Xiu Yi's smile was full of confidence.
"Wow, you kid, how did you... how..." The chubby guy couldn't figure it out even after a long while.
"Hey, that fat guy over there, no! I should call you pig, don't be so jumpy, it's annoying," a masked man from the Federation team coldly whispered for the chubby guy to quiet down.
"Huh? Who? Are you talking to me?"
"Haha, you really are a pig, yes, I'm talking to you."
Boom!
Before the man finished his words, his body was flung back with a crash, as Xiu Yi's kick was as quick as lightning.
Swish, swish, swish, three figures instantly enclosed Xiu Yi, poised for action, "Tell us the reason for your sudden attack, or you'll regret it. I'll bet on it," the girl's voice was sweet, her gaze was gentle, yet her voice was ice-cold.
"Um, sorry, I slipped and accidentally kicked a rat."
The brief clash immediately caused a small disturbance, drawing glances from other forces around.
"Step aside." The man on the ground slowly walked towards Xiu Yi, with a mischievous look as if there wasn't even a trace of negative emotion, "I have to admit your ambush was sudden. You are Xiu Yi, right, the inheritor of that person. I need a reason for your sudden attack."
Heh, reason? Brother Feng's comrade, a bunch of trash doesn't qualify to be picky, Xiu Yi just said "oh" and uttered, "I want to hit you, what's it to you, now roll out of my sight."
"Oh really!?" The man's smile grew more sinister, and his three teammates simultaneously secretly raised their aura, ready to strike at any moment.
However, just as their bodies were about to move, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by four strong auras from Xixi, Red Ghost, and Kevin, not to mention Yita's delicate hand had somehow already been placed in front of the man's advancing body.
"Wow! So fast!" If not for his tensed nerves, he almost couldn't keep up with this woman's actions.
The scene suddenly became tense, the charged atmosphere freezing over; even if one more person from either side made a move, it was inevitable that a group battle would break out.
"What are you doing, stop now."
General Greedy Wolf hurriedly arrived, looked at Xiu Yi's team, the chubby guy, Yita, and the Wind Forest Squad, and reprimanded, "If this happens again, you'll be disqualified from the battle."
Ah, this...
Xiu Yi's team froze in place instantly.
"Damn, just wait," the man glared fiercely at everyone.
