Chapter 959

Qian Hailong said in shock, "In other words, you forced the Island Nation to enter the deep-sea zone, took advantage of the sea beasts fighting the Island Nation's beast tamers, then killed more than twenty of their King-Rank powerhouses, and used the Hell Blood Vine Flowers to nearly wipe out all of their water-type pets? Forced them to sign a contract and hand over their Sovereign as a hostage?"

"Correct!"

"What the hell kind of battle record is that?"

That evaluation made Su Yang a little embarrassed, so he took it as a compliment!

Su Yang said modestly, "Mainly, their weaknesses were too obvious!"

"A weakness is only called a weakness when it's been seized… mainly, they ran into you!"

Qian Hailong vigorously rubbed his hair, still unable to recover from the shock.

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded. "The Island Nation's five King-Rank Top-Grade powerhouses were indeed formidable. I was just lucky to seize the chance and kill one!"

"In other words, you wiped out two-thirds of the Island Nation's combat strength!"

"More or less!" Su Yang said in a low voice. "Actually, I did have the idea of destroying all their floating islands, but I figured it was better to leave a little leeway. If those Island Nation King-Rank powerhouses completely lost what they cared about and went mad, it would probably be very troublesome!"

"Indeed!" Qian Hailong nodded in agreement. "King-Rank beast tamers with nothing to hold them back, once they go mad, are terrifying. I agree with your approach on that point. But that Sovereign Jiazi…"

"Her talent is too good. In her twenties, already King-Rank Mid-Grade. I don't think she should stay in the Island Nation. If she grows, she might become another disaster. But killing her, I can't quite bring myself to do it!" Su Yang spread his hands helplessly. "That's why I struck from the shadows, made her lose all her reputation, and made her despair of the Island Nation. She's a talent!"

Qian Hailong took another deep breath.

Su Yang described it simply, but Qian Hailong could imagine just how desperate it must have been—a young Sovereign beloved by her people, carrying the hopes of the entire nation, betrayed jointly by four Generals and several of the country's major powers, forced into disgrace, spat upon by all her citizens, even forced to kill her own subjects, and sent out of her homeland as a hostage…

Just thinking about it made even Qian Hailong, a veteran who had weathered countless storms, feel his scalp tingle!

Su Yang had personally pushed her from heaven down into hell!

"Such a beautiful Miss, and you could still bring yourself to be ruthless?"

Su Yang said in a low voice, "As long as they're the enemy, there's no distinction of gender, no distinction of young or old!"

Back when they were wiping out the Shoushen Sect, he had personally seen a child drive a dagger into a soldier's chest.

"Mm!"

Qian Hailong nodded in approval.

Mercy toward the enemy is cruelty toward oneself.

Su Yang was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to use Nangang City as bait, but he was not weak-willed with misplaced compassion.

This pleased Qian Hailong greatly!

"That Jiazi—what do you plan to do with her?"

"I think she's a talent. We can train her well!" Su Yang smiled. "Who knows, our Huaxia Federation might gain another Emperor-Rank beast tamer in the future."

Just thinking about it made Su Yang feel excited!

"But she's the Sovereign of the Island Nation!"

"So what?" Su Yang said indifferently. "She can't go back to the Island Nation. She came to the Huaxia Federation with her family and subordinates. She has ties here now."

"Bringing Jiazi back to the Huaxia Federation was done very well! Your thinking is good too!" Qian Hailong hesitated, then still said, "But you may be thinking too simply!"

"Thinking too simply?"

"Do you know what an Emperor-Rank beast tamer means?"

"A super powerhouse?"

"Right, a super powerhouse! An Emperor-Rank fierce beast can destroy a city with a single strike, far more terrifying than the nuclear bombs before the Great Catastrophe. If it targeted human cities, it could easily wipe out more than ten cities in a single day. This has happened in the history of our Huaxia Federation!"

Saying this, Qian Hailong stared into Su Yang's eyes and asked in a serious tone, "The nuclear launch devices from before the Great Catastrophe were firmly in the hands of each nation's highest authorities. Do you think we could place such a launch device in the hands of a hostile nation's Sovereign? Even if she still has relatives in the Huaxia Federation?"

Su Yang let out a deep breath.

He suddenly felt that General Qian's words made a lot of sense too.

"Our Huaxia Federation has been able to develop to where it is today by relying on the two words 'seek stability.' And this Jiazi could become an unstable factor in the future. I don't know how the High-ranking military officials will think about it, but I think you should prepare yourself mentally in advance!" Qian Hailong said in a low voice. "I expect the higher-ups will be very conflicted too."

"Aren't you afraid she'll lose control? What if I can keep her in check?"

Su Yang was still unwilling to give up.

A talent carefully brought in for the Federation, yet unable to be appointed.

"This…" Qian Hailong hesitated, then said, "On this, you'll have to talk to the High-ranking military officials. I estimate I can't make the call on this matter either."

"Mm!"

"Also, I'll send people to investigate the people Jiazi brought from the Island Nation, and conduct some inquiries with Jiazi to confirm your merits before reporting to the High-ranking military officials. No problem, right?"

"None!"

This was procedure, and Su Yang could understand.

"Then send An Hang to Nangang City first. I need your long-range teleportation ability. How many people can you take?"

"Three people!"

After the Void Spirit upgraded to King-Rank, its strength had greatly increased.

Taking two or three people, it could easily run back and forth between Zhanghai City and Nangang City.

"Very well, then take three experts over to verify the situation!" Qian Hailong said. "As for Jiazi, have her cooperate with our work. Since we don't know how the higher-ups plan to handle her, let's not use memory search on her for now!"

"Alright!"
