The Lagula family, known for their domineering nature and private armed forces, were the most powerful family in No Man's Land. Not only did they have nearly a thousand Mechas, but they even hired an almost ace-level cold-blooded warrior as a coach. Local forces dared not provoke them, and anyone unable to pay their protection fee would be in deep trouble. Victims could be killed and buried without causing much attention.

Perhaps the local community was hostile to outsiders, or they simply wanted to monopolize the farmland, the Lagula family charged Xiao Wei's family farm quite a lot in protection fees. Moreover, they frequently sent local mobsters to intimidate and demand payments. Xiao Wei's father had borrowed money to lease the farmland; he hadn't even repaid the debt, and they were asking for more money in protection fees. To make matters worse, not long ago, the local mobsters forcibly broke into their house and smashed everything in sight.

This included Xiao Wei's most treasured Revenge Shadow Rider limited edition figurine. Her father was beaten up badly and couldn't protect it. It was like they were pushing the family towards death.

The family had sought help from local regulators and even the Reward Guild of the Triangular Star. But since this was outside their jurisdiction, no one was willing to look into it. Xiao Wei didn't dare go to the media for fear that the Lagula family would wipe out her family altogether.

Perhaps the high-ranking members of the Lagula family were not aware of this, but it didn't matter. The situation posed a serious threat to a typical family, and as part of the vulnerable population, Xiao Wei could do nothing. Eventually, she could only pin her hope on the Revenge Shadow Rider. Worn and frail, she was a lone ship in a vast sea, waiting for the Revenge Shadow Rider to respond to the Soaring Sword Dragon.

Compared to Hans, Xiao Wei's wait seemed interminably long. But when the outcome was finally decided and Hans, with his beer belly, stepped out of the Dawn Office Building, thousands of people on the street fell silent. All eyes were on this bald man, wanting to hear the Revenge Shadow Rider's response first-hand.

Even the swarming reporters couldn't help but close their mouths, their eyes bloodshot. If anyone spoke at this moment, they would surely be drowned in a sea of spit.

After scanning the scene with a cold gaze, Hans cleared his throat and didn't keep the crowd waiting for long before he suddenly let out a fart. Publicly, no less! But nobody laughed since any laughter would have wasted their time. Moments later, a powerful voice that did not disappoint the crowd broke the silence: "Combat."

There was a moment of extreme quietness. So quiet, in fact, that one could hear a pin drop. It was unsettlingly bizarre, which quickly faded as a cheer took over.

"Combat!"

"Combat!"

"Combat…"

News spread quickly, echoed by the roaring crowd. Upon hearing the news, everyone realized that the Revenge Shadow Rider was no longer the virtual player it used to be. It was now silent, passionate, and more real, full of determination. It set out to defeat every opponent. Even the super Mecha rider Soaring Sword Dragon would not make an exception. One word, "Combat"!

In the beginning, FCA doubted that the Revenge Shadow Rider would accept the challenge, at least not so soon. They thought it would take some time to weigh the odds and then respond. But these hypocrites failed to understand the Revenge Shadow Rider.

With one word, "combat," the world fell silent. Within a short span of 5 minutes, the news instantly went viral around the world. Sword Dragon did not anticipate the Revenge Shadow Rider's response to be so direct.

That night, an unusual phenomenon occurred in the Federation. Employees at all levels started to ask their superiors for leave three days later, with reasons ranging from needing to go to the hospital to finding a lost child. The phenomenon even affected students and teachers. Yet, some people, like the netizens of Bergheide, were rolling with laughter upon hearing the announcement. They even posted a headline on the domestic forum: "Revenge Shadow Rider Knows Nothing about its Powerful Enemy". The discussions inside constituted 10000 ways for the Revenge Shadow Rider to die, but one thing was for sure: the Revenge Shadow Rider's failure was inevitable.

Did that reflect the reality? Perhaps. Regarding this matter, Feng Yi did not comment. But on reflection, he did not believe he stood a great chance of defeating the enemy. He still remembered the battle from days before when his own danger was imminent. If it weren't for the Flame Dual Slash risking their lives, he could've been the one to lose the battle.

This world is truly vast, so vast you can't even imagine. Even he, the Revenge Shadow Rider, had almost lost his life in the skies. So far, Feng Yi believes he has nothing left to lose. In this world, his only tie might be Francis, perhaps?

Hatred can blind one's eyes, but it can also make one incredibly powerful. It is the bloodthirsty nature inherent in human beings.

In a corner of the garden, Feng Yi, with a gloomy expression contemplated his future plans. Before that, he needed to eliminate certain people and travel to two places, Bergheide and the Saudi Empire. From a political perspective, the need for war led to Lasso's death, so he wasn't worried about unearthing culprits. However, the deaths of Huang Zhennan and Guo Guo were due to innocent killings. So who manipulated Bergheide to carry it all out?

Well, this individual is truly ruthless when it comes to achieving his goals, which Feng Yi admittedly admires. This person must hold a significant position of authority in Bergheide, with the purpose of intensifying domestic panic, using the federal government as a scapegoat to shift the blame onto the Devil's Legion, while he himself remains uninvolved and secure. Therefore, it is deduced that this person is probably the high commander in charge of the southern front, who closely monitors the battlefield dynamics, even sending a mysterious mecha to support the battlefield after Feng Yi's confrontation with the Devil's Legion.

The mysterious super soldier was powerful, capable of driving him to such an extent, not many in the world could do that. If he's not mistaken, the person he fought that day might be the Soaring Sword Dragon, whom he was about to confront. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine why Sword Dragon would challenge him unprovoked. Firstly, Sword Dragon doesn't pay attention to the network, nor does he have time to challenge him. Thus it is deduced that a blow from failure was the main reason for Sword Dragon to find him.

Between the lines, Feng Yi seemed to have guessed something. Thinking of this, he casually got up and walked out of the garden...

Along the way, he saw two rogue hooligans surrounding a high school boy. A couple of flashy young girls accompanied the thugs. The bespectacled boy being bullied was carrying a few months old puppy in his arms. The group of people were demanding the puppy from the boy.

"No, you will hurt it, please, let me go."

"Kid, you've got it all wrong. We just want to love and care for this puppy. Do you think these gorgeous big sisters will hurt it?"

Upon hearing this, the boy looked towards the young girls. Seeing their lack of interest in the puppy, he shook his head timidly. The pitiful look on his face was almost tearful.

"Boy, I am repeating myself for the last time, hand over the dog, unless you want to crawl away from here."

At this moment, the boy noticed Feng Yi passing by. His eyes flashed with an unprecedented desire, "Big brother, please save this poor stray dog. Help it, please. I will give you all the money I have on me."

Stopping in his tracks, Feng Yi casually looked back. The impudence of the thugs caused him to turn around: "Kid, don't interfere. Scram before we lose our temper." While speaking, the thug revealed a threatening expression.

Feng Yi turned around and walked away, leaving the two thugs and the girls to their laughter, "Hahaha, what a coward."

The laughter suddenly ceased, and all four fell unconscious without seeing Feng Yi make a move...

Watching it all in disbelief, the boy hurriedly approached to express his gratitude and nervously handed over a pathetic 40 yuan, "Thank you, big brother, you are so cool! This is all my money."

"You and your goofy dog can leave now, stop bothering me."
