Chapter 342: Veridiania Talent
"Elbert, it’s time to go!"
"The online buzz is huge—BioGen Innovations is ready to gamble everything to clean up!"
"Leonard is also nearby!"
Robert Williams reminded him just in time. The outside world couldn’t see the nearby surveillance footage, but it was crystal clear to him.
Fortunately.
The twelve lead canisters of Polonium-210 weren’t very large!
Elbert tightly wrapped them in radiation suits.
They filled the trunk and back seat of the SS454!
Elbert slowly drove away.
Before returning to the Lab Graveyard, there were still some BioGen Innovations lackeys to deal with!
At an intersection.
Elbert was stopped by a SWAT team armed to the teeth!
It was a necessary route, impossible to bypass!
Of course.
This was also within Elbert’s calculations!
Because the head of the Wavehaven police, Leonard, was stationed at this intersection!
"Hmm? It’s you, kid? Why is it that wherever there’s trouble, you’re around?"
Leonard, holding a thermos, walked over slowly. With a wave of his hand, the SWAT team surrounding the SS454 immediately dispersed.
Leonard squinted his eyes, "This incident has nothing to do with you, right?"
Elbert chuckled, "How could it? I’m just on my way to school!"
Leonard wore a questioning expression, staring at Elbert for a solid 30 seconds!
He had some doubts.
Although, three minutes ago, the surrounding surveillance and emergency calls had returned to normal!
But...forget it.
Even if Elbert caused trouble, what could I do about it?
However, this kid has good character; he shouldn’t cause trouble!
Forget it, the less hassle, the better!
"Go on!"
"The issue with BioGen Innovations Academy, the leadership has also taken a stance—take them down and get the information ASAP!"
Leonard waved him off!
Elbert grinned, stepped on the gas, and drove away!
A team member behind Leonard asked in confusion, "Sir, that car seems a bit off; the body is heavily weighed down, it must be carrying something heavy!"
"Ah, it's nothing serious!"
"Could he be lugging a nuclear bomb in there?"
Leonard took a sip of hot tea, smiled slightly, and turned to leave!
BioGen Innovations Hero Academy!
Elbert quickly dashed out, arriving at the stands on the field!
He saw the Veridiania group standing against a new international group!
This time, the international group had seven new faces!
Different skin tones, each one more robust than the last; they looked impressive!
And Elbert.
Stood with his hands behind his back on the stands, not in a hurry to act.
In the previous battle at the teaching building, he had sensed that the members of the Veridiania group, though seemingly unremarkable, actually hid great strength!
Taking this opportunity, he could just gather more intel!
"Veridiania group, we’ve already heard about your so-called strength!"
A blond youth from the international group sneered, "A farmer, a swordsman, a retired soldier, and a network administrator?"
"What a bunch of low-level rookies, haha!"
Another youth from the Victoria group scratched his eyebrow disdainfully, "How about this? You're short of two members. We're reasonable. Our team will send out three—no, scratch that—two members to challenge all of you!"
"Break your limbs so you can’t be modified!"
"Let’s show you what racial superiority means!"
With that, two members of the international group stepped forward, flipping off the Veridiania group members from a distance!
Veridiania group member Dino sighed softly!
He turned his head and whispered to the person behind him, "This path of learning isn’t what I imagined, but since it’s come to this, let’s follow the Veridiania tradition and teach these lovely international friends a lesson!"
"Agreed."
Iron Thirty-Three nodded unexpectedly.
Clang!
Dino drew a pitch-black sword, and with his right hand, grabbed a handful of runes, "That Bryan is mine!"
Swish!
Dino charged forward!
The blond youth from the international group laughed loudly, "An outdated nation, still using cold weapons in this era!"
The next moment, Dino hurled the runes into the air with one hand!
Directly obscuring the blond man's view!
"Whoa, zombie seal?”
"Go ahead and try to seal me if you can!"
The blond man laughed uncontrollably.
"Hellfire, enjoy!"
Dino shouted, slamming his sword down!
A bright pendant on the sword hilt was thrown out, colliding with the blade!
In the next moment, the two objects clashed, sending sparks flying!
The runes suspended in the air ignited from the sparks, triggering a chain reaction—every single one of them caught fire!
The blond man was stunned!
The runes in the air transformed into a rain of fire!
Completely enveloping him!
Smoke erupted instantly, his blond hair turning gray, curling and drying as it drifted away in the wind!
As the blond man desperately tried to extinguish the flames, Dino had already launched through the inferno, delivering a powerful kick!
Engulfed in dense smoke, the blond man was sent flying!
Huh?
This technique?
Elbert's eyes lit up!
Robert Williams expressed, "His sword is made of flint—the stuff inside a lighter!”
"And the pendant on his sword is a jagged piece of iron; when the two collide, they create sparks, setting the runes coated with white phosphorus ablaze!"
Elbert couldn’t help but marvel.
In the next moment!
A nimble figure swiftly dashed forward, touching an international group member at lightning speed!
Then, the crackling sound of electricity was heard, and the international group member’s body instantly seized up!
Foaming at the mouth, he collapsed!
That nimble figure was none other than Cupcake!
Robert Williams: "This girl’s got a shock device on her wrist, at least 500 volts!"
"Weeding!"
"Plowing!"
Gino was battling an international group member, shouting farming terms!
"Planting!"
The international group member was grabbed by Gino, immobilized, and slammed into the ground!
Elbert's eyelid twitched; that guy's neck was probably broken!
Robert Williams remarked, "Elbert, check out Iron Thirty-Three, he's not ordinary either!"
"His weapons are two black short sticks, but he wields them with the bloodletting techniques of a triangular bayonet!"
"This is the exclusive combat technique of the international underground force 'Vampire'!"
"But Veridiania wiped out this force a year ago!"
"Rumor has it, this was the result of a Veridiania reconnaissance king's two-year undercover mission!"
Elbert nodded faintly!
Iron Thirty-Three, the undercover reconnaissance king of Veridiania?
Each one hiding deep!
Suddenly, another international group member was tossed out!
College student Lavern slowly retracted his martial arts stance, holding his breath!
Not even half a second of strutting, he grinned and declared, "You know I'm a college student, but you didn't know I'm also the president of the campus martial arts club, admired by thousands of girls! And you didn’t even mention my name!"
All this happened in less than three minutes!
All seven members of the international group were utterly defeated!
In various states!
Charred, electrocuted, buried, thrown, beaten black and blue!
Elbert sighed inwardly!
These Veridiania members were incredibly strong!
The Veridiania officials were clearly hiding their true capabilities!
Dino had already noticed Elbert’s presence. Approaching quickly, he said with a smile, "Elbert, we had a great fight, thanks to your guidance!"
Elbert was stunned: "My guidance?"
"Of course!" Dino smiled, "In the last battle, you told us, when you can't bear it anymore, don’t. If you have the strength, act! Why endure humiliation? Even the higher-ups were inspired by your words!"
Elbert took a deep breath!
Did I?
Was I really that kind of person?
Then, a thought suddenly popped into Elbert's mind.
The Veridiania group before him, seemingly odd on the surface, yet powerful—the Veridiania officials must have worked hard to assemble them!
Handing them over to BioGen Innovations for modification would be a waste, wouldn't it?
