The military personnel approached the gathered group, clearly marked as those who made decisions.

Lin Fan and the others mentally prepared their speeches, knowing that their actions hovered in a legal grey area.

Spirit Fox, however, had no such worries. Even before Ling Qingyu announced her visit, they had already obtained the necessary licenses and permits.

The interrogation didn't last long, largely thanks to the nearby presence of the Spirit Fox commander, who stepped in to assist.

Her presence cut through much of the red tape. Even if the military wanted to exploit the situation for their own gain, they had to think twice.

For that, Lin Fan, Agent Hill, and the rest were genuinely grateful—not being dragged into a bureaucratic mess unawares.

Of course, they knew that a reasonable person wouldn't stir up problems needlessly. But life, unfortunately, wasn't always reasonable.

People had a tendency to take advantage when they saw the opportunity. Sincerity was a rare commodity. Often, when someone showed it, they were met with ridicule rather than reciprocation.

It wasn't that people were stupid—they just didn't want to assume the worst in others. But once, twice… fine. After that, it was time to cut ties and move on. Or at the very least, stop being so open and treat everything as business.

In the adult world, even the tiniest suspicion was necessary for self-preservation.

Yet all these life lessons were meaningless in the face of a powerful entity like the state machine. Only Spirit Fox and Ling Qingyu's prestige from Miss System action could talk on the table properly.

Perhaps, solely Ling Qingyu might not achieve this but with the addition of her cohorts, it guaranteed respects and honor. Guns speak with guns.

Ling Qingyu 5Cs principal didn't need further proof to authenticate her philosophy.

Still, the military officer clearly had an axe to grind with them. The commander smiled knowingly, her eyes flickering toward the orange outline marking the military superior's figure through her visor.

As expected, the Black Ops network had penetrated deep.

But the commander quietly thwarted every underhanded move.

Watching her fight these silent battles, Lin Fan and the others held their tongues, silently cursing the narrow-mindedness and greed they saw unfolding.

The commander gave a subtle hand signal to one of her operators, who quickly contacted Ling Qingyu and relayed everything.

Inside the A380, the terrifying cracks and explosive noises had already died down—Spirit Fox had handled the situation.

Ling Qingyu turned to Xiao Yue for advice, only to be met with unexpected news.

"What the heck, shortie?"

"Be serious," Xiao Yue smacked her arm in response.

Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei stifled their laughter—until they remembered their own heights and turned toward Ling Qingyu with playful, evil glints in their eyes.

Ling Qingyu shivered, feeling the sudden shift in atmosphere. She looked around at the unfriendly gazes and coughed awkwardly. Xiao Yue was on the shorter side—but girls, on average, were shorter anyway.

The Spirit Fox operators had managed to break the mold in height thanks to sutras and a disciplined regimen of nutrition and training.

"I mean… how many did you bring?" Ling Qingyu asked. "You know I have a bracelet, and yet you didn't consult me once. You need to be taught a lesson."

"Come back after you can beat Sister Ziyi," Xiao Yue replied, clicking her tongue and ruthlessly patronizing her.

"Tsk… you really know how to bully people," Ling Qingyu grumbled.

Her shocked reaction was understandable. Xiao Yue had just admitted that, in addition to the SUVs, she'd secretly transported four Aegis 2.0 vehicles—and now suggested they unload and showcase them for deterrence.

With Country E's military practically glued to them like a sticker, the deterrence from eliminating terrorists earlier was starting to wear thin.

Sure, once the identities of the terrorists were confirmed, the military's attitude might shift. But that was a matter for later.

The original Aegis 1.0 was an MRAP vehicle that looked like a massive military truck with large troop capacity. Aegis 2.0 was still an MRAP, but in a sleeker 4x4 configuration—six wheels versus four. Think of a Humvee, but better protected, armored, and far more advanced in systems.

Ling Qingyu gave the order to Team Three, who were stationed as sentries in the surrounding area.

Soon, the rear compartments slid open as the pilots acknowledged the command. Spirit Fox operators and even the stewardesses acted as crew members, helping with deployment.

The latter were visibly elated once they heard that they were finally safe—and that the mysterious women accompanying their flight had quelled the chaos outside.

Later, they discovered the truth about Ling Qingyu's guards:

Spirit Fox—the infamous unit whose name alone was enough to send criminals into cold sweats.

On the other hand, Ling Qingyu sighed at the fate of those who had met misfortune. She couldn't save everyone; she was powerless in some situations.

She had done the best she could. Who would've expected those bastards to really launch a massacre? At least, seeing the living through her spectacles brought some comfort.

"Let's go. Seems like we need to display our fists," Ling Qingyu told Xiao Yue and descended once the vehicle formation had been set.

Xiao Yue nodded in understanding and gestured toward Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei. Ling Qingyu didn't really like the idea of bringing them into danger.

After all, she'd learned from Miss System and Athena that the aircraft was the safest fortress—second only to her residence in Province N.

In her opinion, it was better for Mo Yunxi, Yin Jingfei, and the others who couldn't defend themselves to stay behind.

However, her moral compass reminded her: unless the situation was inevitable, she had no right to stop others or chain them down.

If every decision needed her approval, what would be the difference between a person and a doll?

Seeking their answer after careful thought was the proper way. If she disliked others dictating her life, why should she behave the same toward them?

So, she asked the two, "Sister Xi, Sister Fei, do you want to tag along or stay inside the aircraft? It won't take more than a day. I just need to meet with the leaders here."

"Hmm... I guess we better stay here," Mo Yunxi replied, though she sounded unsure.

Noticing her unease, Ling Qingyu smiled and reassured her. "Don't worry. I'll leave behind my guard. You saw how the terrorists' projectiles exploded before even reaching us."

Mo Yunxi, Yin Jingfei, and the nearby stewardesses nodded. Ling Qingyu took the time to explain the aircraft's defense mechanism and Spirit Fox's security plan during her absence.

Everyone decided to stay, having picked up on Ling Qingyu's implicit advice. After all, based on her words, no one here was stupid.

Besides, Ling Qingyu would return in just a few hours. Why cause her unnecessary stress?

Ling Qingyu and Xiao Yue descended the stairs and met with the Team 3 leader, who was responsible for securing the aircraft's perimeter.

"Boss," the leader greeted her.

"Well done. I'm going to burden you a bit more to protect the girls inside."

"Don't worry, Boss. We promise to deal with any enemies."

"I don't doubt it." Ling Qingyu nodded. "You'll have fire support on standby—available all the time."

"All the time?" the leader echoed in surprise.

"Just contact Athena and relay the coordinates."

"Understood, Boss."

"Besides," Ling Qingyu added with a grin, "I left behind a bunch of goodies for you girls to loot."

The leader caught her drift and smiled. She knew exactly what kind of "goodies" Ling Qingyu meant—rare firepower, top-tier gear, and so on.

Although she didn't yet fully understand what kind of fire support Athena could deliver, she could guess.

And whatever it was, it would far outclass what was stored on the aircraft in terms of destruction, damage, and protection.

Soon, Ling Qingyu and Xiao Yue mounted a vehicle, picking one from the convoy. The rest followed autonomously.

It wasn't surprising—technology had long since matured to be implemented in every vehicle used by Spirit Fox and under Ling Qingyu's alias.

Team 3's presence was necessary to secure the girls inside the A380. The convoy was meant to transport Team One and Two.

The convoy circled the terminal and parked near the area where the Spirit Fox commander and the others were gathered.

Lin Fan and the others noticed the menacing formation.

Country E's military reinforcements seemed a little hesitant in the face of the arriving visitor.

After all, two Aegis 2.0s with .50 caliber machine guns mounted on top radiated the aura of kings.

They suspected that their own military vehicles—mostly trucks and technicals—wouldn't stand a chance against such an onslaught.

Even their armored vehicles wouldn't be able to withstand bullets capable of shredding aircraft into pieces.

Yes, Ling Qingyu's convoy included two Aegis 2.0s and over a dozen armored SUVs.

Two more Aegis units had been intentionally stationed around her aircraft to guard against any unforeseen threats.

Such protection means, combined with Elena's submarine's outrageous weapons and capabilities were more than sufficient to level the entire Country E army.

As for the air force and airpower of Country A, if someone wanted to rollover the table, Elena's electromagnetic railguns weren't decorations.
