"I am coming!"
Tru's massive body charged wildly like an armored vehicle, grabbed Jackie Chan's hand, and using his enormous weight to pull them back into the vacuum.
Jackie Chan and Blake collapsed to the ground, panting. Blake, in particular, looked disheveled. His expensive black leather shoes had vanished after his feet were caught in the raging wind, and his trousers were torn into countless strips. With the small wounds on his feet, he looked exactly like a homeless man.
Blake looked terrified. He hadn't expected that Xu Le, who had only obtained the talisman a year ago, would become so powerful. This gale alone could destroy a modern metropolis, and this was in a relatively remote area, far from the city center and the airport. Imagine if the gale were used in a crowded place...
Thinking of this, Blake was drenched in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding wildly.
Whew!
The wind gradually subsided, and the visibility that had been obscured by the dark gale came into view. The original airport had been razed to the ground, with broken bricks and tiles mixed with the flesh and blood of cyborgs, adding a touch of crimson to the gray landscape. Within a mile radius, even the earth had been dug up three feet deep, exposing the yellowish-brown surface.
Looking at the scene before him, which resembled a natural disaster, and at Xu Le's godlike and demonic figure, the old man felt a little unfamiliar, but mostly gratified. He had actually taught a disciple who was comparable to a legendary immortal god.
This should have been a very happy occasion, but looking at the dead detectives and cyborgs, the old man couldn't bear it and shook his head helplessly. His only consolation was that they had evacuated the crowd in time, preventing innocent civilians from getting involved.
Xu Le looked at the dead and the ruins without any pity. How dare they provoke us? They should be prepared to go to hell.
Xu Le lowered his hand and said contemptuously to Blake, who was lying on the ground, "If you bother me again, the next storm won't just appear in this remote place!"
After saying that, Xu Le took his father's luggage and left with him, leaving a disheveled Blake lying on the spot.
After a long silence, Blake slowly got up, feeling the sharp pain in his ankle. His heart was filled with mixed emotions. Finally, he took out the satellite phone he kept close to his body and made a call.
"Beep beep beep..."
The call connected, and Blake took a deep breath, saying seriously, "Capture mission failed. Target's danger level is red, non-negotiable, and impossible to fight. Danger level nine! My advice is not to continue the conflict!"
"Let's discuss it again!"
A deep, resonant male voice came through the satellite phone, and amidst Blake's worried expression, everything returned to calm.
………………
Because of the huge commotion caused by Xu Le, most of the crowd ran away, so there were no taxis available. Considering that there were still dozens of kilometers to go, Xu Le was not going to be foolish enough to walk back. He simply used the snake talisman to become invisible and then flew back with everyone.
Returning to the old shop where he started his journey a year later, Xu Le felt a little nostalgic. He had not yet experienced the vicissitudes of life, nor was he disgusted by the various aspects of human nature, so he did not reject this feeling.
The old man took out his key from his bag and opened the antique shop. Xu Le followed him inside and looked at the antiques, which were a mix of genuine and fake items. In the old man's words, foreigners are stupid and have too much money, so he might as well make as much money as possible.
Xu Le went straight upstairs and opened the door to his room. The furnishings inside had not been changed. The bed was neatly folded, and there was no dust on the table, indicating that someone came to clean it regularly. Xu Le knew in his heart who it was, and he felt a sense of warmth.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several shadowy warriors appeared in front of Xu Le and knelt down in unison to pay their respects.
Xu Le sat in a chair, casually picked up a book of ancient history and began to read it, while a shadowy warrior behind him began to report on the two girls' every move.
Xu Le looked at the annotations he had made in the ancient script history book and stroked them with a touch of nostalgia. He then heard the shadowy warrior behind him report that the two girls had checked into the best hotel in San Francisco.
Fearing discovery, they only kept watch from the outside. The two girls stayed in the hotel room the whole time and never went out. They even had the waiters deliver their meals to the door, as if they were avoiding someone.
Xu Le nodded, and the shadowy warrior behind him tactfully withdrew.
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the door. After pausing for a moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Xu Le's divine sense constantly covered a ten-meter radius around him. Although his strength was at a fixed level in this world, fate was unpredictable, and he might encounter a bug-like existence. Since he himself was also a bug, it was necessary to cultivate the good habit of being constantly vigilant.
Creak!
The door slowly opened, and Jackie Chan was still wearing his unchanging blue shirt, but his expression was not as cheerful as before, and there were more shadows on his face.
Looking at Xu Le, who was engrossed in reading, Jackie Chan couldn't reconcile the image of him with the monstrous figure he had displayed earlier that day. However, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Thank goodness he hasn't changed!"
Thinking of this, Jackie Chan gained some courage and walked to Xu Le's side, "Um..."
"If it's because of what happened today, you can leave. Although you chose to stand by me in the end, the fact remains that you betrayed me, and I won't forgive you. But for my father's sake, I won't hurt you!"
Xu Le turned to the next page and said calmly. Jackie Chan's betrayal was within his expectations, but that didn't mean he could forgive him. If Jackie Chan hadn't ultimately chosen to stand by his side, even with his father's connections, he would have died in the next "accident" during his adventure.
Jackie Chan was speechless for a moment, but sensing Xu Le's resolute attitude, he could only sigh and continue, "Today, Sheriff Black's actions were all done on his own without the knowledge of his superiors. They asked me to clarify the misunderstanding. If compensation is needed, as long as it's not excessive, they can provide it!"
If it were the Xu Le of the past, those greedy guys would naturally not have given up this piece of fat meat. But now, not only can they not control Xu Le, but he also has the strength to frighten them. Since they cannot eliminate him, they can only try to win him over. As for Blake, he has become a sacrificed pawn.
The strong do as they please, while the weak passively accept their fate!

Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Xu Le did not give an immediate reply, but continued to flip through the book. Time passed by, and compared to Xu Le's composure, Jackie Chan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He understood Xu Le's current status from the information the Federation gave him—a mobile humanoid nuclear bomb, and even more powerful and flexible than a nuclear bomb. Once he went berserk, even a major power like the United States would be severely damaged.
That's why this group of capitalists, who are even more greedy than jackals, obediently gave up on further provoking Xu Le, because if he went berserk, it would be their businesses that would suffer losses.
Jackie Chan was naturally not worried about the assets of those capitalists; what he was worried about were the innocent civilians. Once a disaster occurred, those innocent people would inevitably be harmed, and his sense of justice made it impossible for him to sit idly by. Therefore, he agreed to the peace negotiation mission assigned to him by the Federation.
Da da da!
The old clock on the wall ticked away, its mechanical ticking striking Jackie Chan's heart and disturbing his peace of mind.
