Chapter 7169
Brovnen, who fled in panic,
Never expected that his original plan to come to the American research station to recruit some followers and expand his strength would end with him running away with his tail between his legs.
On the way back, he kept cursing under his breath:
“Damn, what’s the big deal for them?”
“They even mobilized their army!”
A hundred years ago, he wouldn’t have been afraid of the military.
They were just guns and cannons,
Nothing to threaten someone of his cultivation level.
But after a century of seclusion,
He realized that the speed of technological development in modern society far exceeded his cultivation speed.
The firepower of modern armies was so fierce that it could raze an entire city to the ground—something cultivators couldn’t even dream of.
He had also heard of a count who died tragically under close-in weaponry fire.
While the count’s strength could withstand a few rounds,
It couldn’t withstand hundreds or thousands of rounds per minute.
Therefore, facing the American army, he didn’t hesitate to flee.
Kikuchi Kohei, whose mind he controlled and who was wholeheartedly loyal to him,
Frowned deeply, his eyes clouded with confusion and a flash of worry.
He said to Brovnen,
“Master, something seems off about this!”
Brovnen asked,
“What’s it?”
Kikuchi Kohei explained,
“Almost every country in the world has signed the Antarctic Treaty.”
“They promise not to send a single soldier or bring a single gun to Antarctica.”
“But just now, the United States sent paratroopers and even armored vehicles.”
“This is clearly a violation of the Antarctic Treaty.”
“They’re just using the excuse of encountering danger to ask for help.”
“Why would they send such a large force?”
“Yeah, why?”
Brovnen was bewildered and unsettled.
It felt like when he lived in a village.
He went to his neighbor’s house to borrow some noodles,
And the neighbor brought down dozens of bandits from the mountain,
Armed with long guns, ready to attack him.
It was completely unnecessary.
Unless they knew that borrowing noodles was a pretext,
And that they really wanted to kill his whole family.
But he hadn’t revealed any information,
So how did the other side sense the danger?
Brovnen muttered to himself,
“Unless someone in my family leaked the information!”
Kikuchi Kohei heard him mutter something,
But didn’t quite catch what he said, so he quickly asked,
“Master, what did you mean by leaking information?”
Brovnen said coldly, “I suspect that the Wu Han Palace leaked information.”
“Could it be that Japan already knows that you are all loyal to me now?”
Kikuchi Kohei said with a surprised look,
“Impossible, Master.”
“Every member of the Wu Han Palace is devoted to you.”
“Even if you told us to die right now, we wouldn’t even flinch.”
“How could we leak information to outsiders?”
Brovnen nodded slightly and agreed,
“You’re right.”
“You are all my loyal subordinates,”
“And it’s unlikely that you would betray me.”
“But even if you haven’t betrayed me, it’s impossible to completely prevent the government from finding out about the situation here through other channels.”
“After all, we have been conducting large-scale explorations in Antarctica for a long time,”
“And it’s inevitable that some link might be overlooked.”
