This wasn't just bold; it was practically suicidal for anyone else. Most people attempting such a feat wouldn't see the next morning. Only Lin Xiao could pull this off without causing immediate friction.
"Lin, what are you planning?" Bei Tang Li couldn't contain his impatience. He hadn't sensed anything particularly audacious about Lin Xiao in the past two days.
"For the two of you, this is a simple matter," Lin Xiao said. "I only ask for your trouble to visit Beijiang this month, if you have the time."
"Beijiang?" Both Bei Tang Li and Xi Men Huan Yan looked at Lin Xiao with curiosity. Why would he suddenly ask them to go to Beijiang?
"Yes, Beijiang. Please go before the end of the month if possible," Lin Xiao emphasized.
"Is… something happening?" Typically, a trip to Beijiang implied a major event. Otherwise, Lin Xiao wouldn't have requested it, especially in this manner.
Dong Fang Bai was also curious.
"Not only is something happening, but something significant will happen." Lin Xiao continued, "Seniors, you are aware that the United States has acquired a Heavenly Ranking augmented human."
"Right, how could we forget!" Lin Xiao's reminder jolted them, and they slapped their foreheads. The United States was already targeting Dragon Country, both openly and covertly. With a Heavenly Ranking augmented human, what wouldn't they do? Naturally, they'd seek revenge and strike at Dragon Country's borders. It would either be Beijiang or Dong Island. With the international spotlight on Dong Island, Beijiang would be the most logical target.
"Are you simply asking us old timers for help?" Bei Tang Li quickly understood.
"Precisely." Lin Xiao bowed slightly. "I hope you seniors will accompany me to Beijiang."
"Does this Heavenly Ranking augmented human really require us old guys to act together?" Dong Fang Bai was the most bewildered. While previous augmented humans from the United States had been formidable, their strength was only "somewhat" formidable. Those on the Earthly Ranking were no match for them. In terms of agility, they were slightly inferior, and their strength generally surpassed that of Grandmasters. When they first heard about this Heavenly Ranking augmented human, they had merely thought the ranking system might be biased, otherwise, such a person wouldn't have made the Heavenly Ranking.
"This augmented human is very strong, and I might not be able to defeat him," Lin Xiao stated honestly. Lin Xiao lacked confidence? This was unexpected.
"Here are his details, along with this short video." The video was clearly recorded during the augmented human's Heavenly Ranking assessment. It was unclear how Lin Xiao obtained this footage, perhaps he had connections with those who ranked individuals.
The three men watched the video. Within that minute-long clip, all three fell silent.
"Judging from this... the United States' technology is indeed somewhat advanced," Dong Fang Bai spoke first, his eyes filled with shock.
"To force the assessor to this extent… his strength must be infinitely close to the Divine Realm," Xi Men Huan Yan commented cautiously.
