Chapter 921: Chapter 921: The Fish Takes the Bait Chapter 921: Chapter 921: The Fish Takes the Bait On the boundless sea.

Three warships followed one after the other, rushing non-stop toward the direction of the International Alliance.

Fox stood on the deck, enjoying the oncoming sea breeze, eyes closed in relaxation, looking as if he were out on a leisurely trip.

But Black Wolf beside him was getting impatient; he paced back and forth, occasionally glancing around, and then heaving a sigh.

“Hey, can you hold still? You’ve been pacing beside me for an hour now. I’m going to get dizzy, not from the boat, but from you spinning me around!”

“It’s just… we’re about to cross international waters, surely the scumbags from Cherrywood wouldn’t be so cowardly as to fear just this few of us?”

Clearly, he was eager to act. After all, the backup they had prepared in secret was planned to hijack in the international waters; any further, and other countries would get involved.

It wasn’t that they were overly eager to intervene, but rather, any incident in their territory would inevitably direct international scrutiny their way.

So while it seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents stirring; everyone’s nerves stretched tight.

Fox rolled his eyes at him, “What’s the rush? If they don’t come, don’t we have our own people? This dirty water, whether they gather it themselves or not, is definitely going to be splashed on their heads!”

“But… huh?!”

Black Wolf was about to speak when suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something. Eight submarines slowly surfaced, and he excitedly pointed to them, “Look, look! Those bastards couldn’t hold back any longer!”

Hearing this, Fox followed the direction of his finger and saw the military submarines fully revealed.

They were gigantic, pitch-black submarines, almost half the size of their warships; one could only imagine how many people they carried inside. The number was far beyond what they had anticipated for this operation.

Plus, upon careful inspection, there were no national insignia on the submarines’ surface, indicating that the opposing side intended to hide their origins.

While they were pondering, a hurried patter of footsteps quickly reached their ears. They saw the eight submarines open their hatches, and a group of masked, knife-wielding hearty men emerged, brimming with aggression, jumping onto their warships.

“Hehe, perfect timing!”

Instead of being alarmed, Fox smiled and deliberately asked them, “Who are you? Don’t you know we are from the Eight countries in Southeast, following the International Alliance’s needs, escorting the Modified Humans’ plan book?”

“Hmph! Kill you, and who would know?”

Unfortunately, the three leaders were not in the mood for talk. After their cold threat, they swung their arms at the same time. Huge Special Abilities, crackling like thunder and lightning, gathered together, tearing through the air with ferocity and heading straight for Black Wolf and Fox.

The decisiveness of their attack and the ferocity of their presence made both men realize instantly that these three leaders had to be at least of Level Ten in strength, while the surrounding crowd consisted uniformly of Level Nine powerhouses.

It was clear that this group was dead serious about stealing the Modified Humans’ plan book and experimental data.

“I really want to experience the might of Cherrywood!”

Black Wolf’s body underwent rapid transformation, his hair growing at a rate visible to the naked eye until he changed from a normal human into a werewolf over three meters tall with thick fur.

He leaped in front of Fox, driving his heavy claws through the air with a swipe. He twisted his Bloodline Power to the extreme and completely shattered the incoming combined attack from the three men in an instant.

Then, he launched from the ground like a bullet. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the three leaders, his sharp claws slashing down straight at them, evidently aiming for a quick resolution.

Fox led the rest of his team, entwined with Cherrywood’s team in a clash so intense it set the blood boiling and quickened the breath.

…
At this moment, inside the Dragon King’s Palace.

The vibrating sound of a cell phone shattered the silence as Greg Jensen casually answered and heard an excited voice on the other end–
“Dragon King, the fish has taken the bait! They’ve brought three teams and eight submarines, now entangled in a fight with Fox and his crew!”

On hearing this, Greg couldn’t help but curve the corner of his mouth, thinking, “Just like that, they took the bait? The Cherrywood folks sure are impatient, aren’t they?”

Anyone with eyes could see that such a high-profile action on their part had to be a ruse, yet they had intercepted the warship like fools.

However, this was exactly what he wanted. If Cherrywood hadn’t taken the bait, how else could he turn the tables on them?

Now that they chose to strike, there was no turning back, no matter what they had to pay a heavy price!

After half an hour of waiting, Fox sent a message: the lackeys on the warship were either dead or crippled.

They feigned a stalemate with Cherrywood, obediently handed over the files and experimental data, and deliberately let some of them escape.

They also left behind five live captives, three of whom were the leading captains of this mission, along with two submarines.

With both living witnesses and physical evidence at hand, it was enough to prove that Cherrywood was behind this operation.

So, when Fox and his team returned to the port of the Eight countries in Southeast, Greg immediately took control of the three captains, handed them over to the relevant authorities to record their confessions, and found many Cherrywood IDs in their Storage Rings.

Especially those submarines, clearly manufactured by Bear Country with unique serial numbers etched onto them. Just by querying them, for the sake of clearing suspicion, they could only point to Cherrywood.

Thus, that very afternoon, Greg uploaded all the evidence and materials to the public internet in a hurry.

The title was not only conspicuous and self-explanatory, but the content also logically included the entire process of the attack by Cherrywood’s three teams on the high seas, along with personal information and IDs of the three captains.

It was as if Cherrywood was caught red-handed intercepting the Dragon King’s Palace while they were escorting experimental data, and with irrefutable evidence, netizens worldwide berated them fiercely:
“Julius, what audacity from such a small plot of land! Daring to so openly intercept the Modified Humans project proposal?”

“Oh my God, my Lord, hasn’t Cherrywood given up on this plan yet? How many more people do they intend to snatch away?”

“They must not be let off! They owe us, the global community, an explanation! Otherwise, there’s no need for the International Alliance Center to sanction, we will all unite against them!”

“I advise you to be a little more honest these days and return what you have taken!”

“I used to feel a bit sorry for Cherrywood, but now, haha, I say compassion often hides malice!”

“Return the project proposal, hand over the experimental data!! You have only one hour!”

“…”
This news was undoubtedly like a bucket of gasoline thrown onto a flame, instantly igniting the anger of citizens worldwide, and the sharp spearhead relentlessly poked at the backbone of Cherrywood.
