The next day.

Ye Qiu checked in at the company, teased the receptionist a bit, and immediately returned to his residence.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Haode with a beaming face, extremely excited.

It turned out the necessary research equipment had arrived!

Lin Haode was beyond excited, his trembling hands constantly stroking the equipment, exclaiming, "I never expected it, such difficult equipment to acquire, delivered in less than a day.

With this equipment, we can immediately delve into research. If we succeed, we might develop a serum that fully enhances human capabilities!

This achievement is not only significant domestically but also a major discovery and breakthrough in the global biological research community, surely giving Huaxia a qualitative leap forward in overall strength!"

"Brother Ye is really amazing, actually managing to get this equipment."

"Alas, we truly underestimated Brother Ye before..."

His assistants all looked at Ye Qiu with eyes full of admiration.

Ye Qiu was quite calm, chatted with Lin Haode for a bit, and then headed out again, strolling the streets, hoping to encounter those panther-like monsters and gather more black beads.

After only a few minutes of wandering, Ye Qiu's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was a call from Fei Ming, the chief of the military district, he immediately picked it up, smiling, "What brings the chief to call me?"

"Here's the situation." Fei Ming took a deep breath and solemnly said, "We received intel that recently, Jiangnan City has seen many panther monsters, and thinking you're there in Jiangnan, I'm calling to inquire about the situation."

"I do know some." Ye Qiu nodded slightly and said, "Initially, I encountered a group of Black Panthers in a nature reserve. Their strength is immense; after they die, they turn into black smoke and disappear, leaving behind a black bead. Later, I met two panther monsters that could transform into human forms..."

The chief inquired about the situation, and Ye Qiu naturally didn't hide anything, explaining about the black panthers, black beads, and Wang Qiangmin.

However, after careful consideration, he did not mention the mysterious temple that could appear at any time and place.

"Seems like it's quite difficult to deal with those panther monsters."

After listening to Ye Qiu's account, Fei Ming frowned tightly, saying seriously, "The high officials in Capital City are highly concerned about this matter and have already handed it over to the military. We will soon dispatch members of the Demon Corps to Jiangnan City."

"Moreover..." Suddenly, Fei Ming's words paused, he sighed heavily, and his tone carried a hint of guilt.

"Chief, speak freely." Ye Qiu chuckled, having already guessed that Fei Ming's call wasn't just to inquire about the situation.

"Hehe." Fei Ming awkwardly laughed twice, saying, "You're smart; surely you've already realized that those black beads are very magical, and this matter is of great importance.

Once the mystery of the black beads is unraveled, Huaxia may very well develop powerful biochemical weapons and serums that enhance human potential, which will be critical to Huaxia's strength.

However, this issue won't take long before other countries or factions hear about it. By then, they'll surely send a flood of elite forces into Jiangnan!

Whether it's the black beads or those panther monsters, they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of those people, or else it will pose a severe threat to the homeland!"

"Sigh..."

Fei Ming sighed deeply, recalling how he was the one who dismissed the Demon King Ye Qiu from military service, intensifying his guilt, though it was unavoidable, it was terribly unfair to Ye Qiu!

Even though, both emotionally and rationally, Ye Qiu was not wrong, yet it led to an end of his military career!

All the merits he had achieved for the country and the people vanished in that moment!

This kind of situation is hard for anyone to accept!

Especially for an iron-willed Huaxia soldier like Ye Qiu, who loves the army and his country!

How could such a soldier, the soul of the Huaxia Army, endure such grievances, and what right does Fei Ming have to command Ye Qiu again?

"Chief!"

At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly straightened up, exuding a fierce military aura, "Say no more, I understand your intentions."

He certainly understood Fei Ming's thoughts.

The black panthers and Black Pearls are appearing within Huaxia; they rightly belong to Huaxia and could bring stronger military power to the nation!

Yet, such powerful allure couldn't help but catch the eyes of other countries and forces?

Fei Ming did not want these treasures to fall into the hands of other nations or factions!

And did Ye Qiu want that?

Definitely not!

Whether a soldier or an ordinary citizen, any patriotic Huaxia person would not forget the painful history!

They all wouldn't want to see other countries or factions wielding Huaxia's treasures against Huaxia!

"Then, what do you intend?" Fei Ming felt increasingly guilty and asked cautiously.

"Reporting, Chief!" Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up with assertive authority. He slightly lifted his gaze, looking at the national flag fluttering with the wind in the nearby square, resolute and unwavering, "Although I've taken off my uniform, once a soldier, always a soldier. When the country and people need me, I will not hesitate!

Against those who covet Huaxia's treasures and threaten Huaxia, my stance has always been singular!"

Ye Qiu emphasized each word, saying firmly: "Those who offend Huaxia, no matter how far, must be punished!"

Bang!

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, the chief Fei Ming on the other end of the phone was instantly energized, exclaiming spiritedly, "Good, well said, once a soldier, always a soldier, well said, those who offend Huaxia, no matter how far, must be punished!

Ye Qiu, now that you've expressed your stance, I won't waste words, but remember forever, you are Huaxia's Demon King, the spirit of Huaxia's army; the country and people will forever be proud of you!"

...

Fei Ming hung up, walked to the window, and gazed at the blood-red national flag inside the military district, musing continuously:

"Demon King Ye Qiu, you've endured such grievances yet still think of the country and willingly sacrifice for it; you are truly the Huaxia soldier, the finest soldier! You are the pride of the nation, with soldiers like you in Huaxia, who dare invade!"

Meanwhile, not far away, at a roadside barbecue stall.

Song Fei was enjoying outdoor barbecue, laughing and talking with a few friends.

"Hahaha!" A young man wearing sunglasses laughed twice, eyebrows dancing, "A few days ago, I met a martial arts master named Li Weifang.

Let me tell you, this person is really amazing, surely the most skilled master I've ever seen. I saw with my own eyes, he split six or seven stacked bricks in half with just one finger!

Just one finger, that powerful, imagine the terror if he used his fist?"

As the sunglasses guy spoke excitedly, Song Fei's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Brothers, get ready, I'll introduce you to a true master!"
