Leaving the study, Eisen Dise’s face was covered with a cold sneer, it seemed he was utterly dismissive.
…
In the night sky, a myriad of Dazzling Stars sparkled.
Pei Jinye had just finished his practice.
Suddenly, Li Yan came looking for him, “Master Pei, you should see the news.”
Pei Jinye turned on the TV and learned that a netizen abroad had captured a video of a werewolf, which had now been exposed in the country.
The number of confirmations was increasing.
It was as if a piece of window paper had been punctured.
“What does the top brass say?” Pei Jinye asked after looking over.
Previously, the strategy on the Summer Country’s side was to cover things up, unwilling to worry the public.
But obviously–
The matter had now completely exploded.
Li Yan shook her head, she didn’t know what the top brass was thinking.
However, she inexplicably felt a bit anxious.
“The frequency of werewolf sightings is increasing, and people have already begun to say it’s the end of the world… Could it really be the apocalypse?”
Pei Jinye looked at her and chuckled softly, “So what if it’s the end of the world? It’s just more mouths trying to snatch our food. If you become stronger, naturally no one can compete with you.”
Li Yan was startled.
She hadn’t thought of it that way.
But now, enlightened by Pei Jinye, it suddenly made sense.
Footsteps hurried along the hallway, and someone came up to Pei Jinye, “Advisor Pei, there’s an urgent meeting called by the top brass.”
Li Yan looked at Pei Jinye, guessing in her heart.
Pei Jinye looked at her, took out a manual, “The names are listed here, distribute it, and for the next few days follow the exercises written inside. If you have any questions, wait until I return.”
With that, he left.
As he reached the corner, a call from Zhao master came in.
You could hear Pei Jinye’s voice, “Just found out… on my way…”
…
Inside the conference room.
Apart from Zhao master and Pei Jinye, a square-faced middle-aged man was present as a representative of the Five Elements Mountain. Zhao introduced him before, this square-faced man was a Second-level Strongman, extremely skilled in Hard qigong.
They had not had the opportunity to meet before.
Now encountering him, Pei Jinye and the square-faced man chatted for a while.
Perhaps because he had protected his teammates and killed a person from the Eisen Family, the square-faced man had great admiration for Pei Jinye.
“Brother Fang is nearly sixty? Truly, it doesn’t show at all.”
Zhao master, who had just sat beside Pei Jinye, heard his reference to Director Fang and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Strictly speaking, he should address Director Fang with an honorific for an elder.
“Sometimes, how to address someone with seniority can be quite diminishing, right?”
Director Fang looked at Pei Jinye and said with a smile, “You should come visit me sometime.”
“I would love nothing more.”
Representatives from the Special Investigation Department had also arrived. As they entered, they first greeted Director Fang and then regarded Pei Jinye with polite respect.
It was clear that Pei Jinye was treated with courtesy not just for his contributions. His reputation, achieved through many battles, commanded everyone’s respect.
Soon.
The minister hosting the meeting appeared, and the meeting officially began.
“The existence of werewolves is now public knowledge. After consultation with the Cabinet, it has been confirmed that we will adjust our strategy…”
“The true purpose of convening you all is the following matter. Zhang, play the VCR.”
A young man typed a few buttons on the computer.
The projector began to display images.
…
Through the shaky lens, a group of people were frantically running away, roughly seven or eight, all of different skin tones.
At first glance, it was hard to make out anything.
But then–
A terrifying roar came from behind.
The camera swung around.
In a gorge twenty meters away, a massive figure swiftly moved, with two more figures charging alongside. Each collision was earthshatteringly powerful.
…
In the final moments of the camera feed, there was a river of blood.
A figure slowly emerged in a corner of the fixed camera, a creature with the head of a wolf and the body of a human!
“Click.”
As the figure crushed the camera.
The footage abruptly ended.
…
Everyone turned to the minister, including Pei Jinye.
Several moments in the video demonstrated the werewolf’s power…
A thirty-meter-tall mountain was torn in half by a single palm. Such combat power… was truly mind-boggling.
The minister slowly began to speak, “This footage comes from the Non-Serengeti prairie and has been confirmed to have happened three days ago. Those in the video belonged to a Mercenary Organization known as the [Fire God Cannon]…
The werewolf identity has also been confirmed, one of the strong contenders for the Wolf King,[Ao Gu].”
“Contenders for the Wolf King?” someone in the conference room couldn’t help but interject.

The minister nodded and continued, “Aside from [Ao Gu], there are [Vera] and [De Si], all among the strongest under the Wolf King. We’ve received confirmed messages that the Old Wolf King is about to retire, and in the next three months, these three strongest of the new generation will undergo a long battle for succession…”
“In the video above, [Fire God Cannon] lost two Second-level Martial Artists. Without a doubt, [Ao Gu] already possesses Quasi-First Level strength.”
With the minister’s words, everyone’s expression became grave.
“According to reliable information, it’s not only werewolves; other Beast Species have already shown signs of evolution.”
Another video was played.
The minister’s voice continued, “What you’re seeing now is a Quasi-Third Level Martial Artist taking on a mutated marine lifeform. Considering how water affects our mobility, this warrior’s Combat Power could be considered around Fourth-level or Quasi-Fourth level. But this also showcases the mutated marine lifeform’s strength…”
