Chapter 263: Can You Handle It, Patriot?

Chapter 263: Can You Handle It, Patriot?

Patriot's heart was seething with rage!

He had made so many concessions, yet this young man continued to push him, refusing to call a truce?

Did he really think Patriot was made of clay?

But...

Just as Patriot was about to rise up and fight back, he saw Zhao Zheng's face twisted into a wicked grin as he approached step by step. Instantly, Patriot's resolve to resist vanished!

Zhao Zheng's punch had created a catastrophic tsunami, leaving a deep psychological scar on Patriot.

So...

Patriot did something no one expected...

"Freaking lunatic!"

Patriot shouted in anger, then shot up into the sky and flew away.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking air echoed.

Patriot's speed was incredibly fast, like a fighter jet, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

This scene left everyone in the room stunned.

No one had expected the always arrogant Patriot to choose to flee without a fight.

Wasn't he supposed to be invincible?

Didn't he look down on everyone?

Why did he run?

"Damn, we missed the best part."

"Yeah! Patriot's flight speed rivals that of a fighter jet; no one can catch up to him."

"Such a waste, I was looking forward to this for so long."

"Although I don't like that arrogant guy, I have to admit his strategy to retreat was correct. At least he avoided making a fool of himself."

"Regardless, our trip wasn't in vain. Someone has finally managed to keep that unruly guy in check."

"You're right!"

On the helicopter, the high-ranking officials chatted through their headsets.

Everyone felt that since Patriot had chosen to flee, the battle had to end here!

Patriot's flight speed was too fast.

Even regular fighter jets couldn't catch up to him.

The young man on the ground, though he had displayed unparalleled strength and destructive power, didn't seem to be able to fly!

When they arrived on the island, he had come by helicopter, which confirmed this.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to head back", the company president, Ma Delin, said. "We have many issues to deal with."

Everyone fell silent.

They all knew that the "issues" Ma Delin referred to were Zhao Zheng!

They hadn't forgotten that Zhao Zheng had a huge appetite, demanding five spots in the Seven-Group...

Just as the helicopter was about to land to pick up Queen Maeve and the others, something unexpected happened!

Zhao Zheng, who was on the ground, suddenly began to rise, quickly ascending to over a hundred meters in the air.

Everyone was shocked by this sight.

Ma Delin even noticed a hint of disdain on Zhao Zheng's face...

The next moment!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening sonic boom echoed through the sky.

It was like a thunderbolt had struck right next to everyone's ears.

This incredible sonic boom was caused by Zhao Zheng.

His body shot through the sky like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the direction Patriot had fled.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zheng's figure had completely disappeared into the horizon.

Only the torn space, which took a long time to revert, remained, forming a strange vacuum zone...

Seeing such a shocking scene, everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths agape.

The few helicopters hovering in the sky almost crashed...

It had been terrifying!

Such incredible flight capabilities were not just unheard of, but unimaginable!

At that moment, the company executives were all speechless, unable to say a word.

...

About two minutes later.

"Boom—"

Another powerful sonic boom echoed.

It was Zhao Zheng flying back.

But this time, he wasn't empty-handed.

In his right hand, he was carrying someone.

The star-spangled cape made it clear that it was Patriot, whom Zhao Zheng had brought back...

Patriot looked terrible!

His right arm seemed broken, hanging limply, and his face was swollen from a punch, with blood streaming from his nose and mouth. He was completely unconscious.

Looking at Zhao Zheng, everyone was even more shocked.

Zhao Zheng's clothes were still neatly in place...

Everyone knew that from the state of Zhao Zheng and Patriot, Zhao Zheng had dealt with Patriot effortlessly.

In other words, Zhao Zheng's strength far surpassed Patriot's!

"Thud!"

The unconscious Patriot was thrown onto the beach by Zhao Zheng.

In fact, if Zhao Zheng wanted to kill Patriot, he had plenty of ways to do so.

He had spared Patriot's life because he still had use for him.

Patriot's character was outwardly strong but inwardly weak!

Now that he had beaten Patriot into submission, Patriot would be as docile as a dog whenever he saw Zhao Zheng.

Additionally, Patriot's strength was not to be underestimated. Zhao Zheng was planning to stay in Outer Space, and he needed a powerful guardian on Earth to deter troublemakers and protect Song Haitang and the others from any unexpected incidents.

Although the likelihood of such incidents was minimal, it was still a necessary precaution.

There was one more important point...

Regardless, Patriot was a globally renowned superhero, with a very positive image designed by Waut Company, which had earned him a large fan base.

If Zhao Zheng had killed Patriot, many people would have hated him.

While it was possible to rehabilitate his image, the process would be time-consuming.

Zhao Zheng didn't want to waste his time on Earth, so he decided not to bother.

Glancing at the swollen and battered Patriot, Zhao Zheng raised his head and scanned the surroundings.

"Is there anyone who still opposes my demands?"

No one dared to speak!

...

With Zhao Zheng's display of power, things became much easier.

No one dared to object to his demand for five spots.

Even the higher-ups at Waut Company welcomed it...

Zhao Zheng was simply too powerful!

After the incident, the company's experts analyzed that Zhao Zheng possessed the power to destroy the world.

Such terrifying power, if not harnessed, would cause great anxiety!

Especially after seeing Song Haitang's fire abilities, they were even more delighted.

In their eyes, Song Haitang was like an incarnation of a fire deity. In terms of strength, even Patriot would struggle against her.

The Seven-Group needed such a powerful superhero!

The other three members were also highly skilled.

In no time, it was the next day...

At 9:30 AM.

In the Seven-Group Conference Room on the upper floors of the Waut Company building, Song Haitang and the others were already gathered.

Besides the four of them, Patriot and Queen Maeve were also present.

This was the first meeting of the new Seven-Group.

What about Xuan Se and Deep Sea? They were nothing but trash and had no place in the Seven-Group.

Currently, six people were present in the Conference Room, with the main seat still empty.

Patriot looked at the main seat, his expression uneasy.

That seat had once been his...

Now, it belonged to someone else.

A moment later, a figure descended from the sky and entered the Conference Room through the window.

It was Zhao Zheng!

He had just returned from Outer Space to attend this meeting...
