Merchant From Earth in the Magical World-Chapter 543 - 381: A High-Ranking Leader_1
"Theories?" Yan Xing looked up at Angel Belkrin. "Since the world mechanism has already arranged the 'Executioner' for me, then it's no longer just a theory. The development of the Nine-Headed Dragon Database and the Divine Body needs to be accelerated. And the resurrection of Black Dragon Grisia..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Max said, "Do you need me to be resurrected? When?"
"The sooner, the better! You will have to handle the 'Contrary' that I am to execute. After obtaining the power of 'Executioner' and the Divine Body, I will confront my 'Executioner.' Chui Chui will use the Nine-Headed Dragon Database to increase the computation for the world mechanism. Three 'Contraries,' two 'Executioners'—we are already nearing the limit of what the world mechanism can bear. As long as the Nine-Headed Dragon Database can simulate signs of multiple 'Contraries' being generated, we might cause the world mechanism to crash."
Max already knew from Chui Chui about the 'Executioner' that had appeared targeting Yan Xing.
"I understand... When you need me, I will definitely be by your side..."
Yan Xing nodded to Chui Chui and said, "I'll leave the matters in Heize City to you. I'm going to Gryphon Island to talk with Renlun Investment Bank. The amount of energy required to push this plan is not something we can supply right now."
Chui Chui replied, "Yes, Master. I will complete the development of the Nine-Headed Dragon Database and the Divine Body with Lord Max within four months. While you're in the real world, my level-two computational core will provide you with data services."
"I trust you to handle things. I'm off..."
Yan Xing waved his hand, opened a door beside him, and stepped through.
It was that same small apartment he often visited but had never lived in. This time, Yan Xing didn't leave covertly. Instead, he opened the window and jumped directly from the twenty-second floor.
He finished donning his "Endgame" super-weapon suit in mid-air and then soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters under the multi-angle surveillance of various radars, speeding toward Gryphon Island.
No sooner had he landed on Gryphon Island than he was surrounded by Feng Tingyue and a group of Gryphon Island security personnel.
"Mr. Yan Xing!" Feng Tingyue was visibly incensed. Even though Yan Xing had arrived in combat form, she still stepped forward to question him. "I thought we had an understanding that you wouldn't reveal your abilities in public. Yet, not only did you reveal them, but you also... you also dared to disregard national airspace security! Do you have any idea of the mess you just created?"
"I'm afraid the mess I created isn't as big as the one you've made. What's with bringing so many people? Are you trying to capture me?"
Yan Xing ignored the island security, who were on alert, and walked toward Feng Tingyue.
Not far away on the beach, a crowd of tourists was filming with their phones. They had all witnessed Yan Xing's descent from the sky, his appearance resembling that of a superhero from the movies. Griffons soared in the sky, and tourists riding on their backs screamed with excitement; many of them had seen how Yan Xing flew in. Yachts drifted in the sea, and many people on them had also seen Yan Xing land. Gryphon Island was open to the public, attracting large numbers of tourists to see these creatures that were once only found in myths and legends. This time, Yan Xing had attracted a lot of attention.
Feng Tingyue motioned for the security personnel to disperse, then said to Yan Xing, "I don't know what you mean by that statement, but your actions just now have indeed caused us a lot of trouble. I need an explanation."
"I don't owe you any explanation," Yan Xing said, brushing past Feng Tingyue. "I just need to demonstrate my power, to let you know who you're talking to right now."
As he walked, Yan Xing snapped his fingers towards the ocean.
The once clear sky suddenly became turbulent with strong winds and dense clouds. Waterspouts formed over the ocean, and lightning crackled in the sky.
An impending storm terrified the tourists, who screamed and fled from the beach. But they had run only a dozen steps or so when the wind calmed and the clouds scattered, the weather returning to the serene, sunny beauty of moments before.
Feng Tingyue, walking at Yan Xing's side, clearly saw how he summoned the storm and then eradicated it just as it was about to erupt. Even the huge waves rushing toward the shore retreated at his gesture.
This power far exceeded the department's estimates of his strength.
"Mr. Yan Xing, what are you trying to say?"
Yan Xing lit a cigarette, took a drag, then slowly exhaled.
"Originally, I didn't want to expose my strength. I just wanted to make some money and live an easy life. But not everyone who acquires my kind of power thinks the same... He Qijiu, do you know him?"
"He Qijiu? I'm sorry, I don't know him."
Yan Xing observed Feng Tingyue's expression and knew her authority wasn't high enough to access such secrets.
"Then go ask your superiors. Ask them, if He Qijiu had my kind of power, what would he do?"
Feng Tingyue, watching Yan Xing, who was behaving very unusually today, turned and walked toward the Gryphon Island office area. She spoke into her walkie-talkie to her subordinates: "Cite the possibility of a storm and organize all tourists on the island to return to their hotels. Remember to be gentle in your approach; don't cause panic."
Feng Tingyue went to report to the company leadership and seek guidance.
Yan Xing continued to stand on the shore, looking out at the sea while smoking his cigarette.
Tong Yitong came and stood next to him.
"I saw that you flew here. You're not one to show off. Has something happened?"
