Chapter 170 Chapter 256 Chapter 257 Rewards and Punishments, Retribution is Coming
"Oh, by the way, Boss, the situation here may be a little different from what we predicted..."

Selina adjusted her breathing, and then reported in detail everything she had seen and heard before and after entering the [Impossible City].

Finally, she said worriedly, "Boss, even without considering the other pure-blooded vampire leaders, those heavily armored warriors alone are likely to be the biggest obstacle for us to capture this place."

"A vampire with strength comparable to that of a Thunder Warrior? That's interesting."

Karl was not worried about this. He showed a confident smile on his face and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, if it's just this extent, it won't be enough to affect my plan."

"And they can be used to test the combat performance of the second and third-stage Thunder Warriors..."

"Besides, have you forgotten? We still have an ace in our hand!"

"Ace?" Selina was confused and couldn't figure out what the "ace" her boss was referring to.

But the other party's calm and composed tone was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, directly sweeping away all the doubts and worries in her heart.

Since the Boss said it's okay, then there will definitely be no problem!
Well, yes, that’s it!
"But since someone has already set their sights on you, don't act rashly for now."

Carl carefully instructed, "Put the exploration inside on hold for now. Right now, you just need to draw the magic teleportation array before the [Centennial Conference] begins."

"As for whether to seize it or wait and see, I'll have to wait until I successfully obtain the [Undead Trait] before making a decision."

"kindness."

Selina knew that this was a temporary strategic adjustment made by her boss because he was worried about the safety of the three of them. She couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart. She responded sweetly with a hint of shyness, "I understand~~"

Wait until Carl's voice in my mind completely fades away.

She lifted the soft fur carpet on the ground, bit her fingertips, and used her blood to draw on the ground the "Tzeentch's Magic Teleportation Array" that Carl had shown her before.

Suddenly, her movements froze, as if she had thought of something difficult to say.

Her originally fair face suddenly flushed red, and she bit her lips shyly, muttering to herself:

"Oh no! Since my consciousness can successfully connect with Boss, doesn't that mean he knows all those embarrassing scenes I imagined doing with him before... ahem, will he know?"

"Ah~~ This is so embarrassing. Boss, do you think I'm a bad woman?"

……

And at the same time.

A body of water near Belle Isle, Detroit.

Carl, who was currently sunbathing on the upper deck of a luxury yacht, ended his "inter-dimensional video call" with Selena.

He was about to activate his powerful telepathic perception ability to continue monitoring the movements in a secret altar somewhere on Belle Island.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and attracting their attention, he did not choose to invade the minds of the vampires guarding the altar.

Instead, it only uses its sensory abilities to confirm their number, location, and movements.

At this moment, the phone placed beside him suddenly rang.

After a quick look, I saw that it was General Ross calling.

"What's wrong?" Karl said lazily after answering the phone.

"Mr. Carl, there are some emergencies that may require your and King Kong's help."

General Ross cleared his throat and continued briskly, "Just a few hours ago, a newly emerged Level 2 Kaiju attacked Manila, causing massive destruction and casualties."

"The Philippines then sent an urgent request for assistance to the White House. Therefore, President Ellis notified the Department of National Defense, hoping you could send funds..."

The "Level 2 Kaiju" mentioned by General Ross is a brand new concept recently proposed by Dr. Spa Sheffield, the chief scientist of the PPDC Organization.

From a biological perspective, he combined the first Kaiju and the Titan monsters that had appeared before, and roughly divided the Kaiju into five levels.

The classification standard is very simple and crude, which is directly based on the size, weight, and comprehensive destructive power of a giant beast.

To put it simply, the larger the size, the heavier the weight, and the more destructive power the Kaiju has, the higher its level!

According to this standard, the [PPDC Organization] classified the Kaiju, code-named "Invader", which invaded [San Francisco] a few months ago, as a [Level 2] monster.

The Kaiju code-named "Chaos" that appeared in [Manila] was also classified as a [Level 2] monster.

This is enough to show its huge threat!
If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that [Manila]... no, I should say the entire [Philippines] is likely to become the second [San Francisco].

However, the backward weapons in the hands of the Philippine army could not cause any substantial damage to the Kaiju.

And they don’t have superheroes like Homelander and the Avengers?

What's more, even if there are more than half, it's useless!
The Philippines does not want to see its capital turned into a dead city like San Francisco by the Toxic Blue Blood.

After all, many important areas of the country, such as finance, industry, and trade, are almost all concentrated in Manila.

If this place suffers a devastating blow, the economy of the Philippines will directly regress to the "primitive age" when monkeys climbed trees to pick bananas.

The most reliable way at the moment is naturally to apply for the [Didi Proxy Service] and hire the [Monkey God] for a fee to deal with this Kaiju beast!
So the Philippines immediately chose to seek help from its good father, the United States.

After all, almost everyone knows that the [Ministry of National Defense]... no, to be more precise, it should be General Ross, who is now clinging to Karl Mara's big legs and even publicly supported him at the UN General Assembly!

Therefore, in the eyes of the Philippine top leaders, as long as they are willing to pay, the man will definitely lend a helping hand.

Even General Ross thought so!

however.

Before he could finish his words, he heard Carl on the other end of the phone refuse bluntly: "I can't help you. Let those wild monkeys go to the [PPDC Organization]!"

"what?"

General Ross was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting the other party to refuse so decisively.

Carl had previously promised personally that when monsters appeared, he would help the United States and its allies resolve the crisis for a fee?
And the Philippines happens to be one of the allies of the United States.

However, based on General Ross's understanding of Carl, he knew that the other party would never refuse such a "fat job" without reason.

After all, Manila's annual GDP is at least more than 3 billion. Even if only 27% is charged as a fee, that is a full billion US dollars!

If they charge 10%, that would be $90 billion...

Not to mention robbing a bank, even printing money wouldn't be as fast as this. After a brief pause, General Ross tentatively asked, "Mr. Karl, can I ask why you made this decision?"

"The reason is simple," Carl answered without hesitation. "Those wild monkeys had previously voted in favor of sanctioning Sokovia at the UN General Assembly!"

"I see."

General Ross suddenly realized what had happened. Recalling the absurd scene that had occurred at the UN General Assembly, he immediately changed his attitude and said firmly:

"Mr. Carl, your reasons are well-founded. This is entirely the fault of the Philippines..."

"Please rest assured, no matter what happens, the Ministry of National Defense and I will always stand by you. I will call and inform President Ellis of the final outcome."

Despite what he said, General Ross immediately wrote a warning in his heart: Don't offend Karl Mara easily, because he holds a grudge!
This old fox is very cunning!
The corner of Carl's mouth curled up slightly, and he was obviously very satisfied with General Ross's answer.

Although the relationship between the two is just one of mutual benefit.

But it must be said that General Ross's courage to stand on Carl's side at the critical moment and make a decisive decision is indeed worthy of admiration.

and so……

Carl decided to reward him with a little treat!
"General Ross, as your partner, I want to remind you that perhaps the real crisis doesn't come from that Kaiju!"

Karl then said the names of seven cities in succession and hung up the phone.

All that needs to be said has been said.

After all, the other party is not Carl's subordinate, so just stop at the right time.

As for whether he can seize this opportunity in the end, it depends on General Ross's own luck.

"..."

General Ross stared at the gradually darkening screen of his phone for a long time without saying a word.

Just when everyone around him was speculating that he would be furious because of the rejection, General Ross seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed out loud with a look of relief on his face.

“Hahaha, looks like I made the right bet again this time!!”

General Ross had obviously realized that the last reminder was Carl's deliberate response to his previous position... or it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a reward!

However, right now he needs to analyze what will happen in those cities as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, General Ross quickly asked his men to bring a map and circled the seven cities that Carl had just mentioned with a marker.

They are Green Bay, Chicago, Cincinnati, Huntington, Winchester, Binghamton, and Kingston.

"What exactly could it be?"

Looking at the several unrelated cities on the map, General Ross couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

First of all, it is certain that based on his understanding of Carl's character, the other party would never speak nonsense about such things.

So that means...

Next, in these seven cities, it is very likely that something far more dangerous than the invasion of the Kaiju will occur?

Are seven powerful Titan monsters going to appear at the same time?
No.

The chances of this happening are extremely small!

What then?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in General Ross's mind, and he keenly grasped a clue.

"Wait a minute, could this be related to those damn vampires?"

General Ross then ordered his men to search the intranet for all the information related to vampires that had occurred in the past month.

as predicted.

The above seven cities have all experienced large-scale riots caused by vampires in the recent past.

But in the end, they were all successfully suppressed.

General Ross couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

If it's just a vampire, then logically speaking, the threat shouldn't be anywhere near as great as that of a Kaiju, right?
Is there something else?
For example...similar to the "demon" that appeared in "Hell's Kitchen"?
Forget it, never mind. Let’s hurry up and deploy troops around those cities first!

General Ross immediately decided to take a big gamble.

If you win the bet, you will achieve success and take a step further!
If I lose the bet, the worst that can happen is I’ll resign!
And this impending crisis may be a catastrophic disaster that will destroy families and kill people for ordinary people.

But for speculators like General Ross, this is undoubtedly a godsend opportunity to further consolidate their own position and expand their personal public influence.

As long as it is handled properly, his military career, which is about to end, may usher in an unprecedented second spring!
Think of this.

Even General Ross, who was known for his calmness and sophistication, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that hugging Carl's big, thick legs was definitely the best decision he had ever made in his entire career.

At this time, a staff member whispered a reminder: "General, President Ellis called personally, asking you when King Kong will go to Manila for assistance. The Philippines is almost blowing up the White House's phone..."

"The timing is perfect." General Ross's eyes suddenly lit up. After answering the phone, he reported directly before the other party could speak:

"Mr. President, I'm afraid we really can't help with the Philippines' request this time... because there will be a bigger crisis waiting for us to solve!"

……

【PPDC Headquarters】.

"What did you say? The Ministry of National Defense actually rejected the Philippines' request for help?" Stek Pantecost's eyes widened in shock and anger. "Aren't they allies?"

The staff member shrugged bitterly. "Sir, General Ross said that the PPDC is a special organization established specifically to deal with Kaiju, and the Philippines is a member state, so the PPDC should assume its responsibilities and obligations at this time."

"Bullshit!" Stek Pantecost couldn't help but swear and roared indignantly:
"That son of a bitch, Ross, knows that our [Hunter Mech] isn't even ready yet, and he's clearly trying to embarrass us in front of the other member nations!"

"Hmph, do you really think I can't resolve this crisis without your [Ministry of National Defense] acting as a go-between?"
