Chapter 1270: The Ancient Races Set Their Sights on Xiao Zheng
In the meeting room, everyone knew the terror of the two ancient races in Europe. Once their power was unleashed, it would shake the entire continent. Xiao Zheng was about to battle with these two ancient races, which made everyone excited.
No one in Sky Net was afraid of fighting. Under Xiao Zheng’s leadership, they transformed Sky Net from a small force into a powerful organization that shocked the world; naturally, they were all exceptional heroes.
Suddenly, someone came in to report: "Mr. Xiao, Lady Catherina has arrived."
"Catherina?" Hearing this news, Xiao Zheng was taken aback. Catherina had been stationed in North Africa, overseeing the overall situation for Sky Net. Why did she suddenly come here?
Catherina was never a reckless person. Since she rushed here so urgently, she must have something important to report.
Xiao Zheng said, "Quick, bring Catherina over."
Shortly thereafter, Catherina was brought in. After greeting everyone and sitting down, she said gravely, "Mr. Xiao, something bad has happened!"
Long Qie asked in confusion, "What’s the matter? Is it related to the Golden Bone?"
Catherina nodded and said, "While I was in North Africa earlier, people under Gongsun Wuliang received intelligence suggesting that there might be deceit involved in the news about the Golden Bone in Europe!"
"What?"
Several people were shocked. Could this actually be a trap? Sky Net was already incredibly powerful; who would dare to offend them?
Medici said solemnly, "Miss Catherina, I can guarantee that the information I received has been carefully scrutinized repeatedly; there is absolutely no problem!"
If that information was indeed deceitful, then Medici, who provided it, would have made a grievous mistake. Sky Net had clear rewards and penalties, and he would certainly be punished. So, he had to speak up now.
Xiao Zheng slowly said, "Medici is also an excellent talent in my Sky Net. He’s steady, thorough, and meticulous in his work, which is why I placed him in Europe. I don’t think he would make such a basic error."
Medici felt moved.
Catherina smiled, "Medici, you don’t need to worry. This matter isn’t really related to you. The news about the Golden Bone is real. What I’m talking about is another matter!"
Medici breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Catherina, you just said the intelligence was deceitful, and now you say it has nothing to do with me. What exactly is going on?"
Everyone present in the meeting room was a core figure in Sky Net, so Catherina didn’t hide anything. "There are some mysterious forces in Europe targeting Mr. Xiao! They also want to obtain the Golden Bone."
Everyone was shocked beyond words. Someone actually set their sights on Xiao Zheng! Right now, Xiao Zheng was a Martial Saint Level character, especially after he recently defeated the Beihai Venerable; his prestige had reached a peak.
"If I’m not mistaken," Xiao Zheng said calmly, "the mysterious forces you’re talking about should be related to the vampires and the Werewolf Clan, these two ancient races, right?"
Catherina nodded, "Correct."
Everyone came to a sudden realization.
The vampires and the Werewolf Clan, these two ancient races, were full of masters and extremely mysterious. If it were them, it might indeed be possible for them to deal with Xiao Zheng.
Thinking of this, a pressure weighed upon everyone’s hearts. They had previously planned to sneak attack those forces, obtain intelligence, and quickly take the Golden Bone, with the enemy in the open and themselves in the dark. Although difficult, it was within their control. But now, with these two ancient races proactively targeting Xiao Zheng, the roles had reversed, making the situation incredibly complex and difficult.
"No need to worry too much," Xiao Zheng said with a calm expression. "The Golden Bone is the most mystical object in this world. It’s only natural for others to covet it. Besides, we were bound to clash with those two powerful forces eventually. For such forces, they must have justified reasons to wage war. If they attack first, it saves us from finding an excuse."
"But it’s still very dangerous," Titan, who had a steadier personality and considered things more thoroughly, said. "This is European territory. Those two ancient races have deeply rooted powers here. If they discover our whereabouts and launch an attack, it would be difficult for us to defend."
"There’s nothing to be done; soldiers come, we fight; water floods, we dam," Xiao Zheng said icily. "I just want to see what forces they can muster against us!"
"Moreover..." Xiao Zheng paused, "this time, we’re in Europe with only the elite. We can completely adopt a strategy of dispersing into smaller units. Even if those ancient races have massive powers, it won’t be easy to catch us on such a vast battlefield."
Everyone nodded slightly; Xiao Zheng made sense. If they dispersed, even those powerful ancient forces would find it very hard to catch them.
However, if they were to do that, Sky Net’s base in Europe would have to be abandoned. The base would definitely be the first to be destroyed by those ancient forces!
But it was worth it for the ultimate acquisition of the Golden Bone.
Boom!
Suddenly, a tremendous explosive sound came from outside, followed by an ear-piercing alarm throughout the base.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Except for Xiao Zheng, everyone stood up in shock, not expecting the attack to come so quickly! They were just discussing it.
"Long Qie, Titan, you two go out and handle the trouble," Xiao Zheng’s face remained calm, maintaining composure as if Mount Tai had collapsed before him.
Since acquiring resources from Medicine King Valley, Long Qie and Titan’s strengths had been skyrocketing, now reaching a terrifying level.
"Yes!"
The two accepted the order and hurried out.
"It seems the hidden mastermind is quite formidable," Xiao Zheng chuckled, "I just arrived in Europe, and they’ve already launched an attack."
Catherina said gravely, "Mr. Xiao, we should retreat quickly. The base cannot be moved; staying here only makes us targets."
"You’re right," Xiao Zheng nodded, then turned to Medici, saying, "Once Long Qie and the others deal with the enemy, you lead the base’s staff to leave at once. Don’t stay in Europe, return directly to Sky Net."
"Understood!"
Medici nodded.
However, he then asked, "Mr. Xiao, what about you all?"
Xiao Zheng smiled, "Naturally, just as I said before, we’ll disperse into smaller units, then hide in the dark to surprise those ancient races!"
Catherina added, "But how will we locate those ancient races’ movements if all forces in Europe withdraw? We won’t have a way to find them!"
