70: Chapter 69 The Tyranny and Twistedness of the Eagle Country Captain

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Eagle Country Super Eight-Man Squad, on the top floor of a skyscraper, the Eagle Country Captain stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the entire city with an unpredictable expression.

"Those Dragon Country people..." With a voice full of gnashing teeth, the Eagle Country Captain's fists clenched involuntarily, cracking audibly.

Behind him, the other seven superheroes stood in a row, not even daring to breathe loudly. There was no help for it; as members of the Super Eight-Man Squad, they knew clearly that the Eagle Country Captain was already furious inside.

"Do you know?" A few minutes later, the Eagle Country Captain suddenly turned around, wearing a standard American smile, but the violence in his eyes was chilling.

"How much money has our Super Eight-Man Squad earned over these years by cleaning up Mutated Beasts?"

"Eighty billion US dollars," the Lightning Element Awakener replied in a low voice.

"Right, eighty billion US dollars." The Eagle Country Captain's voice suddenly turned frantic, and he shouted, "But what about now? A single Lizard is about to steal our business!"

Bang! Perhaps he was too angry, for the Eagle Country Captain punched the floor-to-ceiling window, and the powerful force caused the specially made bulletproof glass to instantly fill with cracks.

"Captain..." The Healing-type Awakener was the only woman on the team; she opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

"Shut up!" The Eagle Country Captain glared at her. The Healing-type Awakener immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak again.

"Shadow." The Eagle Country Captain looked at the deputy captain. "Here," Shadow said, stepping forward.

"You tell me, what should we do?" Shadow hesitated for a few seconds. "How about... we cooperate with that Dragon Country person? Split it fifty-fifty?"

Slap! As soon as the words fell, the Eagle Country Captain slapped Shadow across the face. Shadow was sent flying, crashing into the wall, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Fifty-fifty?" The Eagle Country Captain walked over, looking down at Shadow. "Why should it be fifty-fifty? I want eighty percent!"

"But..." Shadow covered his face and said helplessly, "Only Godzilla can handle nuclear waste; we can't..."

Bang! Before he could finish, the Eagle Country Captain kicked Shadow in the chest. Not daring to resist, Shadow was kicked away again, smashing a desk before slamming hard into the wall.

"Why can't we?" The Eagle Country Captain roared almost madly. "Our Super Eight-Man Squad is invincible! Understand? Invincible!"

"..." The other six superheroes looked at each other, their eyes flashing with helplessness. They all knew that when the Eagle Country Captain went crazy, he would even hit his own people.

"The Captain is right." Thinking of this, the Fire-type Awakened One bit the bullet and chimed in, "We are the strongest."

"Right, we are the strongest," the Frost-type Awakener also said. The others nodded one after another. There was no choice; even though they had seen the terror of Godzilla through the live broadcast, they had to yield now in the face of the Eagle Country Captain's oppression.

Seeing this scene, the Eagle Country Captain smiled with satisfaction, recovering his bright, sunny expression.

"Very good." The Eagle Country Captain then clapped his hands. "Since everyone agrees, that's how we'll do it."

"How?" the Lightning Element Awakener asked curiously.

"When Luo Yu arrives, we will go to greet him too." A hint of mockery flashed in the Eagle Country Captain's eyes. "Godzilla is very powerful? So what? In Eagle Country, our Super Eight-Man Squad is the boss."

"Does the Captain mean..." the Storm-type Awakener asked tentatively.

"Give him a rude awakening," the Eagle Country Captain said confidently. "Let him know that in Eagle Country, not just anyone can be arrogant."

"But..." the Earth-type Awakener said with some concern, "Godzilla can instantly kill a Peak SSS-Rank Mutated Beast, and we..."

"Are you questioning me?" The Eagle Country Captain's gaze became dangerous.

"No, no, no, I'm not." The Earth-type Awakener waved his hands hurriedly.

"Then shut up." The Eagle Country Captain turned and looked out the window. "I have my plan; you just need to follow orders. After all, Godzilla being powerful doesn't mean its master, Luo Yu, is powerful. Understand?"

"Yes." The seven of them understood instantly and replied in unison.

So, the Eagle Country Captain wanted to give Luo Yu himself a rude awakening. This... was fine. As long as it wasn't facing Godzilla, it was manageable. After all, Luo Yu's own strength was only that of an SS-Class Awakened; they could handle him at will.

"Everyone get out." The Eagle Country Captain said impatiently. The six SS-Class Awakened felt as if they had received a pardon and left quickly. Shadow climbed up from the ground and wanted to leave too.

"You stay." The Eagle Country Captain called him back. Shadow's body stiffened, and he turned around. "Does the Captain have any other instructions?"

"Heh!" The Eagle Country Captain stood with his back to him. "If there's a chance, cause him some trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" "Anything will do." The Eagle Country Captain turned around, that standard smile hanging on his face again. "As long as you don't leave any evidence."

"I understand." A flash of purple light flickered in Shadow's eyes.

"Go." Shadow's figure blended into the shadows and disappeared from the room.

The Eagle Country Captain walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the distant sky. "Luo Yu... Godzilla... I'd like to see just how powerful you are. I am now at Peak SSS-Rank."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again. The Healing-type Awakener walked in and called out in a soft voice, "Captain."

"What?" The Eagle Country Captain didn't even turn his head.

"Were you... too impulsive just now?" The Healing-type Awakener said cautiously. "Shadow, he..."

"He deserved it." The Eagle Country Captain interrupted her roughly. "Who told him to say such things."

"But..." "No buts." The Eagle Country Captain turned around and walked up to her. "In this team, what I say goes. Understand?"

The Healing-type Awakener lowered her head. "Understand."

"Very good." The Eagle Country Captain reached out and lifted her chin. "You are a smart woman, and I like smart women."

"..." The Healing-type Awakener's body trembled slightly, but she dared not resist.

"Stay with me tonight." "Yes." The Healing-type Awakener lowered her head and bit her lip.

The Eagle Country Captain smiled with satisfaction and walked toward the lounge, holding her.
