259: Godzilla's provocation!

"Looking at the situation, even the powerful Black Dragon King is just the Tiger King's subordinate and servant. So, how powerful must this Tiger King be?"

After a brief moment of panic, the senior military officers and scientific researchers of Freedom Island all calmed down and began to ponder what methods to use to win over Xia Fan. After all, in their eyes, there was no being in the world that wasn't greedy for benefits.

As long as the chips they offered were sufficient, even the Tiger King would be tempted!

At this moment, a senior military officer looked at the people around him and said in a solemn voice, "There's an old saying in the East—in this world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

As he spoke, hope gradually filled his brows, and his gaze fell on Xia Fan. "The Tiger King is a powerful awakened being of this era, and we have always been researching potions using the genes of contemporary fierce beasts. Therefore, these potions must be useful to the Tiger King!"

"Why don't we first negotiate with the Tiger King and see if we can move him?"

Everyone heard this and was somewhat moved; in fact, almost everyone thought this matter was feasible.

Evidently, they had previously attempted to recruit the Titan Beast Godzilla using this method, but it ultimately failed because the Titan Beast had no crystal in its body, and they consequently angered Godzilla.

Now, they wanted to try the same trick again.

After making a decision, a senior military officer from Freedom Island took a few steps forward and shouted, "Respected Tiger King, we would like to discuss a collaboration with you!"

"This collaboration is good for both of us. Moreover, since you, Tiger King, have come from afar, you can gain immense benefits without doing anything, which will allow you to reach the peak faster!"

"Collaboration?"

Hearing this, Xia Fan was slightly stunned, then began with a calm expression, "The collaboration you speak of, is it about injecting this king with something that can give fierce beasts new abilities, but also make their minds deteriorate?"

"How did the Tiger King know?"

For a moment, all the high-ranking officials and researchers of Freedom Island showed surprised expressions, looking at each other, and their hearts gradually began to panic.

But after a short period of confusion, the senior military officer from Freedom Island raised his head, full of doubt, "Tiger King, how did you know what we are researching?"

"However... I think you, Tiger King, have misunderstood."

This person said with a slight smile and a serious tone, "The potion you mentioned is a refined product obtained through thousands of experiments by our researchers. After injection, it will only increase abilities and enhance your strength, without affecting the mind!"

"Tiger King, this is a shortcut to becoming stronger!"

"This King saw it with his own eyes; are you still going to quibble?"

Seeing that this group of people still wanted to conceal the most crucial information, Xia Fan's tone instantly turned cold, "Moreover, if there were no side effects, why don't you inject yourselves?"

"It seems you are always ill-intentioned."

As his words fell, a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from him.

The senior military officer of Freedom Island immediately changed his expression and hastily knelt on the ground, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Tiger King, we shouldn't have deceived you!"

"All of this is our fault!"

The rest of the Freedom Island people also trembled, realizing that they had angered the Tiger King, and if they didn't give an explanation, it would be difficult to end well.

"Tiger King, that thing... for now, only five doses can be used, but I think if you, Tiger King, can give us more time, we will definitely be able to develop a gene potion with no side effects!"

"No need!"

Xia Fan shook his head, his purpose very clear, "Hand over all the data for those gene potions!"

He did not need gene potions. His personal visit to Freedom Island was to curb the continued development of this technology.

Although gene potions greatly helped many fierce beasts, especially those that could not advance further, this was also a source of concern for him.

If this technology were to proliferate, wouldn't every fierce beast then be able to master his greatest trump card and possess countless innate abilities?

Once such a thing happened, Xia Fan knew that all his hard-earned cultivation and opportunities would be in vain; anyone could effortlessly become a renowned strong person in the world.

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

Moreover... the precedent of the Ant King was still vivid. What if Freedom Island used this technology to recruit a large number of fierce beasts to deal with him? Wouldn't he then be entangled in such matters?

Danger must always be nipped in the bud.

"This..."

The scientific researchers of Freedom Island hesitated upon hearing these words, unwilling to hand over the materials.

After all, gene potions represented all their scientific research efforts since the spiritual energy revival, and they were crucial for their protection and the security of Freedom Island. Now, to hand them all over, they couldn't do it.

In the sky, Xia Fan saw the changing expressions of the Freedom Island people and understood their thoughts. His words were instantly filled with killing intent, "This King has given you a chance!"

He absolutely had no patience to say it a second time.

At once, the Tiger King's rage caused the sky to change color; a large amount of lightning power flashed continuously in the sky, as if a doomsday calamity could descend at any moment.

"Quick!"

"Quickly hand over all the data!"

Seeing this, the senior military officers of Freedom Island understood that Xia Fan could no longer hold back and was about to act. They hastily reprimanded the researchers, "What are you still hesitating about?"

"Now that your lives are on the line, are you still clinging to those useless documents?"

"Hurry up and do as the Tiger King commands!"

The researchers looked at each other. At this moment, they were surrounded by enemies on all sides. Helpless, they could only take out briefcases containing the gene potion data, one by one, and place them before Xia Fan.

Seeing them, Xia Fan opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the data into his belly.

He did not destroy these things; he merely stored them within his body for the time being. Perhaps when he had leisure, he could study them.

"Roar!"

Just then, a huge roar came from afar, full of provocation.

Perhaps it was because Xia Fan had suddenly unleashed all his aura earlier, intending to intimidate the people of Freedom Island, but unexpectedly, Godzilla, thousands of miles away, sensed it.

As a powerful Titan Beast, Godzilla naturally held the belief that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so he immediately responded, seemingly intending to initiate a challenge to Xia Fan.

"Little Black, let's go!"

Xia Fan briefly sensed Godzilla's location, then called out.

The Black Dragon King obeyed, silently flapping his huge wings. Once Xia Fan leaped onto his back, he directly flapped his wings and flew towards the direction from which the roar came!
