A few minutes later, the hotel lobby lay empty.
Two players, their limbs severed, lay in pools of blood on the floor.
Their torsos were riddled with cuts from Manman's blade.
Xiang Nan rose to his feet and said to the woman, who still sat on the sofa in a daze:
The woman was a bit stupefied.
Up until this very moment, she still hadn't processed everything.
She'd never have imagined Manman alone could wipe out the other side's three players, among them a Extinction 4 team leader.
Even more shocking, Manman, currently splattered with blood across her white dress, was completely unlike her usual sweet, obedient self.
Her ponytail and hair were now slightly clumped and stiff from all the mingled fluids.
"We're heading to the airport."
"The airport? But isn't the Kakin Empire still keeping tabs on us?"
Xiang Nan didn't answer her question.
Because at that moment, a group of people had appeared outside the hotel.
They weren't officials from Ininge City.
They were… soldiers from the Republic of Padokea's army.
Except, they were all in civilian clothing.
As soon as they entered the hotel, they saluted Xiang Nan.
"All set?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Our aircraft is already stationed at the airport; we can depart at any time."
"Help take care of her—she's injured. And also inform the Rokario authorities that some criminals attempted to attack me, but have now been killed."
At once, the soldiers set about carrying out his orders.
The woman sitting nearby blinked in confusion.
Meanwhile, Manman—her injuries apparent—was carried on one soldier's back, restricted from further movement.
Although the Kakin Empire had indeed been watching them in Rokario, dealing with a single individual's strength couldn't compare to the confrontation that arises when it's "nation versus nation."
Given Xiang Nan's current standing in the Republic of Padokea's army, he had the authority to negotiate with Kakin on equal terms.
Additionally—because this was an official Padokean aircraft—Kakin had no way to track them.
They'd have no idea when Xiang Nan left Ininge City or what time he arrived in Kakin's capital.
Indeed, Xiang Nan planned to deliver their report to the Kakin Empire under the Republic of Padokea's official banner.
"All the more interesting… from now on, Padokea is fully aware of the ant problem."
He narrowed his eyes, revealing a malicious grin.
A few days later, the aircraft touched down at the Kakin Empire's capital airport.
The huge airport was unusually quiet, with no other incoming or outgoing flights at this time.
Obviously, Kakin had locked things down to greet the Republic of Padokea's plane.
Dozens of black luxury cars waited on the runway, and aside from the original liaison who'd met Xiang Nan, even members of Kakin's royal family had come in person.
One of them was a tall, robust figure, brimming with the style of a professional soldier:
Prince Benjamin Hui Guo Rou.
His bristling hairstyle and intense gaze were like a lion prepared to rip its prey to shreds—pulsing with a fierce aura.
"Republic of Padokea's youngest-ever Deputy Chief of General Staff?"
Before the Padokean aircraft arrived, Kakin had already received official communications and negotiations.
Rolling out such a grand reception just for one individual.
Benjamin read the line about Xiang Nan's rank, expression cold.
Though the Republic of Padokea was one of the somewhat stronger nations in the human world, it still lagged behind Kakin in some respects. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovєlFіre.net
Especially regarding the military.
Kakin had that country-wide Military Academy constantly producing specialized talents for its armies—few nations possessed such deep foundations.
Among them… were Nen warriors.
One could say the largest collection of Nen users in civil society is the Hunter Association; for the world's militaries, in each nation, Nen users were primarily affiliated with armed forces.
Economically, Padokea could at best barely catch Kakin's attention, but in terms of military, Kakin prided itself on formidable might.
Benjamin himself, as a first prince and also the vice-minister overseeing Kakin's armed forces, took an interest in Xiang Nan.
He knew that for someone to serve as Deputy Chief of General Staff in a nation's army, especially so young, implied that man must have offered substantial achievements and outstanding ability.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan's age was indeed youthful.
Yet Benjamin had never heard of him.
Even more peculiar: Kakin had no real need to greet a foreign official so solemnly, but his father, the King of Kakin… seemed extremely concerned about Xiang Nan.
Benjamin had no idea why. Possibly, it involved some confidential matter.
Hence, he was quite curious—just who exactly was Xiang Nan?
