Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Escape Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Escape “Tada… Andy Greenword, it’s not good!” The man hurriedly shouted, with beads of cold sweat popping on his forehead.

So much that Andy Greenword’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if the people from Dragon King’s Palace had already killed their way to the doorstep.

He forced himself to remain calm and, keeping his voice low, demanded, “Spill it, what’s the matter–out with it!”

As he spoke, a formidable aura was released, and the surrounding people suddenly felt an unprecedented oppression, even breathing became somewhat difficult.

The samurai kneeling on the ground stammered, “Just now, the people from Dragon King’s Palace released a statement on the global news network, not only severely denouncing us but also posting numerous photos of the cyborgs… Look!”

Feeling that his explanation was not clear enough, he simply took out a tablet, opened the news interface, and presented it to Greenword.

Greenword’s brows furrowed tightly as he shakily took the tablet, and when he clearly saw the contents, he was almost beside himself with fury.

In it were nearly a hundred photos, all of dead cyborgs at the border of the Eight countries in Southeast, their appearances as well as the related parts and markings were clear as day.

The article below stated: These cyborgs were all produced in Cherrywood’s cyborg factories at the border, capturing live humans for research and forcibly controlling their behavior with computer technology.

Additionally, at the very bottom, Dragon King’s Palace even called on netizens and PR worldwide to check the posted photos to see if any missing persons could be identified.

This act was doubtlessly pushing Cherrywood to the brink, aiming to isolate them internationally.

What’s infuriating is that in less than twenty minutes since the message was released, the likes had already exceeded a hundred million, and the comments and shares both reached tens of millions, causing quite a stir internationally:
“Julius! Are the People of Cherrywood too shameless? They actually capture people everywhere for live body research!”

“This is simply a violation of morals, a violation of humanitarianism, they are openly defying all the major nations!”

“My god, I recognize one of the cyborgs. He’s the father of my next-door neighbor, we’ve all thought he was missing these past few months, didn’t think Cherrywood had captured him!”

“Right, right, I also recognize one, he was a classmate from my high school!”

“It looks conclusive! Cherrywood special captured various Superpowered Persons nationwide to turn them into cyborgs, in order to deal with the Eight countries in Southeast!”

“The beasts of Cherrywood have done something unthinkable, we must unite and sanction them!”

“@International Alliance Center, just because the Eight countries in Southeast hurt Cherrywood alone, you all concoct ways to sanction them, but now Cherrywood has endangered more than a dozen countries, aren’t you going to make a move?”

“@Sakura Country Official, you beasts won’t come out and explain? You are simply the global shit-stirrers, as if the world is not chaotic enough!”

“…”

Comments of this sort proliferated, almost entirely comprising interrogations and verbal abuse, and some even dredged up all of Cherrywood’s ugly past deeds to beat the corpse.

Even though the Sakura Country Official quickly stepped forward to clarify, stating this incident was unrelated to them and the Eight countries in Southeast lacked concrete evidence.

That didn’t deter netizens worldwide from rushing into their comment section to “greet” them, breaking their own heads in their eagerness.

Andy Greenword was so infuriated his teeth gnashed audibly, wishing he could rush out and tear apart the people from Dragon King’s Palace right then and there.

He truly hadn’t anticipated that a simple covert operation could land Cherrywood in such a massive public relations crisis.

However, he could probably guess that as long as they destroyed all the data in the factory beforehand, preventing Dragon King’s Palace from getting any evidence, even if these people were suspicious, they would be unable to touch them.

With this thought in mind, Andy Greenword quickly found Stephen Lamb and instructed him to move all the factory equipment as soon as possible.

As for himself, he couldn’t wait any longer; clearing the equipment and data would take at least half a day, and half a day… was enough time for the people from Dragon King’s Palace to come and kill them.

Therefore, he had to leave ahead of time, leaving these tasks to Stephen Lamb. In doing so, even if the people from Dragon King’s Palace came looking, there would be no way to prove that this incident was directly related to Cherrywood. He could easily shift the blame onto Stephen Lamb.

“Quick! Gather all our people and head back to our country now!”

Andy Greenword didn’t want to delay a single moment. Dropping this line, he slipped into the car first, avoiding the route through the Eight Countries in Southeast and taking a long detour.

The rest of the Cherrywood samurai and superpowered persons did the same, speeding away in military vehicles.

Whoosh!!

However, what nobody expected was that halfway there, a gigantic creature suddenly blocked the road, making it impossible for the vehicles to pass.

“Damn it! What is that thing?”

Andy Greenword instinctively cursed and anxiously looked ahead, only to see a massive saber-toothed tiger already sitting in their path, apparently with two people sitting atop its head.

To the discerning eye, it was clear that they were there specifically to intercept them.

Could it be the people from Dragon King’s Palace?

As he hesitated, one of the men sitting on the head of the saber-toothed tiger stood up.

The man was handsome, with striking facial features and a cold smirk on his lips, taunting them,
“You beasts from Cherrywood sure are slow. I’ve been waiting here for quite some time!”

“Damn it! Who are you? Are you aware of the consequences of blocking our way?”

The lead ninja, clutching his katana, glared at them warily. Andy Greenword, too, clenched his fists tightly, ready for battle.

Greg Jensen laughed, “Not long ago, you sent modified humans to ambush us, and now you’ve forgotten about us?”

“You… You’re from Dragon King’s Palace?”

Andy Greenword was slightly taken aback, though he had anticipated this.

He scrutinized Greg Jensen and Black Wolf beside him, noting that they were both just over twenty years old and didn’t seem to have anything exceptional about them. His eyes took on a scornful look,
“Hmph, what of it if you’re from Dragon King’s Palace? Do you two little shits really think you can stop so many of us?

If you want to catch us, you’ll need your Dragon King himself to show up. Otherwise, no matter how many of you from Dragon King’s Palace come, I will kill as many as I can!”

Having said this, concerned there might be other ambushes nearby, he immediately waved to the others, “Make it quick, kill them!”

“Yes!”

Over thirty ninjas and superpowered people jumped out of the vehicles frantically, swarming toward Greg Jensen and Black Wolf with the intent to eliminate all three of them within a minute!

Seeing this, Black Wolf chuckled with excitement, his fists cracking, and said, “My lord, these guys are enough for me!”
