The convoy left the area directly, and ten minutes later, the intense underground explosion made Golden City feel like it was hit by a magnitude six earthquake. Even Li Feng and his team, several kiloters away, could clearly feel the tremor.
The original location of the research institute collapsed into a large crater, which naturally drew local attention.
However, by this ti, Li Feng's team had already left Golden City and headed south, while the locals, with their limited control over the area, probably didn't even know what had happened.
The group smoothly arrived at Cape Port.
"Who exactly are you people?"
Although Professor Frank had been hypnotized by Li Feng, this hypnosis was rely a subconscious suggestion, and the earthquake upon leaving Golden City awakened Professor Frank.
Seeing the now alert Professor Frank, Li Feng didn't bother to hide the truth.
"Professor Frank, since you've noticed, I won't conceal it any longer, though I'm not sure if Professor Frank has ever heard of ."
"I am the Dragon King."
"You're the Dragon King?"
Professor Frank was stunned for a mont and looked at Li Feng. At the hotel, Professor Frank hadn't suspected much, as per their agreent, he only communicated his location to the Chenxi Organization.
The Chenxi Organization is a global entity consisting entirely of volunteers who aspire to justice.
Thus, the organization's mbers co from all over the world, from multiple countries.
That's why he didn't suspect anything, as the timing of Li Feng's encounter with Professor Frank was too coincidental. Without suspicion, Professor Frank naturally assud Li Feng and An Xi were part of the Chenxi Organization. Li Feng and An Xi adapted so well that they didn't reveal any flaws, acting the part convincingly.
Li Feng just added a light suggestion of hypnosis, and Professor Frank believed Li Feng's ruse, leading him to the core of the underground research institute.
Professor Frank only noticed sothing was amiss after exiting the underground research institute.
He simply didn't anticipate that the Yan Country individual before him would be the Dragon King.
Normally, individuals in the scientific community like Professor Frank are only interested in their field, indifferent to other matters, not even major national issues, as they find them irrelevant.
But Professor Frank indeed knew about the Dragon King.
Because previously, Li Feng had taken over a top-tier Southern Federation laboratory, an incident that naturally stirred the scientific community, as several prominent figures in the field were involved.
The na of Dragon King began to spread in the scientific community.
"Professor Frank has heard of ?"
"Four years ago, the Dragon King caused quite a stir in the Quantum Laboratory, leading to the scientific community losing several top authorities. You've been dubbed the executioner by people in the field."
Li Feng wiped his nose with his hand.
"Those unlucky folks wouldn't happen to have been acquaintances of Professor Frank, would they?"
Professor Frank looked at Li Feng thoughtfully: "The physics community is not that big, so everyone pretty much knows each other. What do you think?"
An Xi, standing nearby, stepped in to explain for Li Feng: "Professor Frank, the incident at the Quantum Laboratory was indeed our doing, but as for the deaths of those professors, we won't take responsibility."
"At the ti of the incident, the collision of the Quantum Collider caused equipnt malfunctions, leading to an accident. We were victims too in that incident."
Listening to An Xi's explanation, Professor Frank directly retorted: "Had you not gone there, how would the accident have happened?"
Li Feng naturally wasn't inclined to explain the past incident. After being wounded in that incident, he had returned ho for recovery.
"An Xi."
Li Feng called An Xi and then turned to Professor Frank: "Professor, let's be frank. You can't go back to that research institute."
"Previously, you wanted to contact Chenxi Organization to expose the research in that institute, correct?"
Professor Frank didn't bother to hide it anymore, given that much had already been said. There was no need to reverse course now.
"Yes!"
"Forgive for saying this, but if you approach Chenxi Organization to handle this matter, the outco may not necessarily align with your expectations."
"Hmm, what do you an?"
Professor Frank frowned at Li Feng.
"Professor, do you know which entity your research institute belongs to? Haven't you had any suspicions? If not, why would you choose to contact Chenxi Organization? As far as I know, Chenxi Organization is a world organization that stands for justice, indeed possessing so influence and having exposed many malevolent incidents."
Professor Frank furrowed his brow, clearly realizing from Li Feng's inquiry that the research institute wasn't simple.
"I only know the institute is privately funded, but I'm unaware of the behind-the-scenes investor."
"Regarding what you ntioned, I indeed noticed the institute conducting research exceeding ethical boundaries, which is why I didn't want to stay any longer. However, I discovered leaving wasn't easy, hence attempting to contact Chenxi Organization."
"Dragon King appearing here suggests knowledge of so insider details about the institute?"
Professor Frank isn't just an academic. To beco notable in the scientific field, one's intelligence can't be lacking. While they might disdain social affairs, it doesn't an they are foolish.
"The Gods Temple, has Professor Frank heard of it?"
Professor Frank furrowed his brow.
"What about the Round Table Knight Order?"
Li Feng ntioned another na, causing a reaction in Professor Frank's mind. The Round Table Knight Order is historically renowned in the Southern Federation; no Southerner would be unaware of the Round Table Knights.
"It seems Professor Frank knows. The Round Table Knight Order is the predecessor of the Gods Temple, composed of thirteen secretive families from the Southern Federation. Each of these families boasts hundreds or even thousands of years of history."
"Nowadays, these families remain the top-tier in the Southern Federation, with influence spanning the entire Southern Federation and the world."
"As for the project you're researching, it's actually a Cold War-era proposal, the Super Soldier plan."
"After the Cold War ended and the warti clouds dissipated from the Southern Federation skies, this plan was shelved. However, it was acquired by mbers of the Gods Temple, initiating long-term secret research."
"The Quantum Laboratory I disrupted was a research facility under the control of the Gods Temple, and the institute in Golden City is one of their many secretive research sites."
"To my knowledge, the Gods Temple now possesses many forbidden technological techniques, ultimately using these in human experints to create Super Soldiers."
"The Gods Temple has invested heavily here. If Professor believes contacting Chenxi Organization will expose this, it would likely only bring trouble to you, even potentially leading to your silencing."
