The morning sun was getting quite warm at the entrance of the congressional building, making everyone restless. Representatives from various countries were filing in one after another, while those blocked outside dispersed to the sides, vigilantly watching their surroundings. They quickly noticed a peculiar middle-aged man among the representatives from Yin Country and Luo Zheng. Though the two appeared calm, there was a faint murderous aura about them. This made everyone secretly nervous, causing them to step back a bit to avoid getting caught up in any trouble.
Lan Xue and Hong ihua also noticed Luo Zheng's unusual behavior. Hong ihua took a couple of steps forward, but Lan Xue held her back. Lan Xue looked towards Ghost Hand and the others, shook her head to indicate for everyone to remain calm. Behind Luo Zheng, Lan Xue believed the other party was not a match, so there was no need to worry too much, and she subtly gestured for everyone to stay alert to the others around them.
"Are you the Ghost?" The middle-aged man from Yin Country surprisingly spoke fluent Huaxia language, his expression serious and a bit wary as he looked at Luo Zheng, stopping three ters away.
Luo Zheng saw the other party did not have any hostility and sneered, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. Are you looking for ?" Although Ghost was a codena, it was a state secret that could never be acknowledged in public settings.
"It's been a long ti since I've heard your na, let's get acquainted. I am Alas, the military attaché at your country's Embassy," the middle-aged man stated calmly, extending his hand proactively.
Luo Zheng sneered disdainfully, seeing Steve coming over, he didn't even bother to look at Alas, turned, and walked away. This extrely provocative manner made Alas's face turn grim, his gaze cold as he glared at Luo Zheng, wishing to imdiately rush over and start a brawl. Steve, recognizing the situation was off, rushed over just in ti, standing between the two, and asked Alas with a difficult expression, "Mr. Alas, do you need any assistance?"
"No, thank you." Alas managed to contain his disgruntlent in front of Steve, restraining himself, and gave Luo Zheng a cold glance before turning back to his people. A sturdy man stord over, brimming with anger, and seed ready to pounce. Alas was shocked, quickly blocked in front, and embraced him, whispering a few words.
The sturdy man struggled several tis but unexpectedly couldn't break free, his body taut and eyes glaring furiously like an enraged beast. Perhaps having listened to Alas's words, his body gradually relaxed. Luo Zheng watched this scene calmly, his expression growing serious. This Alas was not simple, able to remain calm and possessing enormous strength. He exchanged a look with Lan Xue, who nodded in understanding, positioning herself protectively in front of Hong ihua, ready for any eventuality.
"What is the matter with this gentleman?" Steve pretended not to know about the man's anger, stepping forward to feign concern, continuing, "Does he need to see a doctor?"
"No need, thank you. He's just a bit emotional, that's all," Alas replied with a face of gratitude. After calming the sturdy man, he turned back, gave Luo Zheng a cold smile, and walked back to his group, leaving the man in the care of others.
"The guy surely knows how to hold back. Unfortunately, I was looking forward to a bit of action," Ghost Hand said discontentedly, with a hint of mockery. He turned to Luo Zheng and whispered, "What is this bastard up to?"
At this mont, Steve ca over. Luo Zheng did not imdiately answer Ghost Hand's question, but stepped forward and asked, "They're challenging us. I hope you will uphold justice, otherwise don't bla our country for not giving face, these people are too arrogant. You better give a satisfactory answer, or I won't hesitate to act on my own."
Concerning national dignity, Luo Zheng had to be tough. Steve understood the implications, awkwardly whispering, "Could you spare so face? Among the three who died last night, one was Alas's younger brother, a guard. Emotions are just a bit high right now. Since it hasn't created any adverse effects, could we just let it go this ti?"
"Since that's the case, we'll be magnanimous and let it go. But if it happens again, I won't be so polite," Luo Zheng said coldly, though internally he remained vigilant. This Alas was not simple, able to hold back even with the death of his own brother, and his imnse power would not be easy to deal with on the battlefield.
Seeing Steve leave after saying a few words, Hong ihua approached Luo Zheng and quietly said, "I know this person. He is a major of a Special Forces unit from Yin Country, skilled at command."
"No wonder, if we encounter this guy on the battlefield, he must be eliminated imdiately; otherwise, he'll be a real nuisance," Luo Zheng murmured, glancing towards Alas in the distance, his eyes revealing a serious look.
Steve managed to defuse the situation, and everyone remained restrained. An hour later, the talks concluded. Leaders and high-ranking officials from various countries ca out and left under the escort of their respective security personnel. Luo Zheng saw his country's Chairman also erge, chatting animatedly with the host nation's President, appearing to get along well. Luo Zheng signaled everyone with a look, and they quickly dispersed, guarding around the entrance while waiting for the Chairman to exit.
Luo Zheng and Lan Xue went forward as the Chairman bid farewell to the host nation's President and left. Luo Zheng led the way, vigilantly watching the surroundings. Lan Xue followed with Ghost Hand at the rear. Surrounding them was the escort protection team from Zhongnanhai, and Steve assigned a security team to assist in escorting.
After walking for a while, the Chairman spoke to Luo Zheng, "Over there is the Huaxia enterprise delegation, all part of our nation. Their life abroad isn't easy, and I need to go over and greet them."
Luo Zheng glanced ahead, seeing a long line, with a cordon set up at the front. Host nation guards were posted vigilantly around, and those coming to welco were waving small flags and singing the national anthem with enthusiasm. Seeing the Chairman, they shook their flags even more vigorously. Luo Zheng understood that this was part of the planned arrangent, with journalists from various countries present live-streaming. It wouldn't be appropriate not to go, so he didn't obstruct.
However, Luo Zheng suddenly felt uneasy, signaling Lan Xue and others. They imdiately understood Luo Zheng's concern, watching the welcoming crowd with high alertness like facing a formidable enemy. Lan Xue moved to within a ter behind the Chairman, guarding from both sides with Luo Zheng.
The Chairman moved forward with a full smile, shaking hands with people inside the cordon. The scene beca lively as the delegation grew excited, shouting praises for the Chairman. As he walked along, he shook hands and waved at those behind the cordon, greeting them warmly.
Walking behind the Chairman, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue stayed alert, watching the crowd intently. When the Chairman reached the middle of the line, Luo Zheng saw him shaking hands and greeting a representative who also seed enthusiastic, showing no signs of any issues. Nevertheless, Luo Zheng's battlefield instincts suddenly sensed danger. He quickly stepped forward, standing between the Chairman and the representative, gesturing for everyone to remain calm, as if maintaining order.
"Boom!" A sudden loud explosion.
