Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 666 - 239: Reunion with Sophia Zhou_2

In just a short while, his expression had already changed three or four times.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but become curious.

So, when Kim Tae-eun hung up the phone, they hurriedly approached him and asked, "What happened? Why the big reaction?"

Kim Tae-eun exclaimed joyfully, "He's coming! He's really coming!"

"President Zhang heard about what's happening here and is personally bringing weapons to join us in fighting against the local crime organizations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was instantly stunned, and then the place erupted into an uproar!

"For real? President Zhang is coming? And he's bringing weapons?"

"The weapon you mentioned... is it the one I'm thinking of?"

"Damn it! I don't care anymore. Even if it costs me my life, I won't retreat a single step! I'm determined to stand with President Zhang!"

"Same here!"

"Wait a minute, weren't you the one who wanted to leave just a moment ago?"

"Can't I change my mind now? Damn it, even President Zhang is personally coming to help us! How could I possibly retreat? If I back down now, wouldn't I be letting President Zhang down?!"

"Well said!"

"…"

Once news spread that Zhang Beixing was arriving with weapons, it was as if everyone had been injected with adrenaline; they had found their pillar of strength and were buzzing with excitement.

This reaction was due to Zhang Beixing's terrifying influence. He was the only Hidden Essence realm Martial Artist in the world, President of the Asia Martial Arts Association, a man who had single-handedly suppressed a city and survived being shot. In the hearts of those Martial Artists, Zhang Beixing's status was lofty, akin to a deity!

And now, this legendary figure, having heard of their plight, was personally coming with weapons to help them resolve their crisis and stand with them through these troubles.

How could they possibly remain calm?

The stronghold was in an uproar!

And this same scene was now commonplace in other Martial Artist strongholds across the Middle East!

The Martial Artists, who had been demoralized just moments before, were now filled with fighting spirit.

Every single one of them was immensely excited.

They were filled with anticipation for Zhang Beixing's arrival!

「At the same time, elsewhere.」

...

"Hello Grandmaster Zhang, I am the military liaison sent to assist you. From today onward, I will be responsible for all your arrangements abroad. My name is Sophia Zhou. Please give me your guidance."

Stepping off the airplane, Zhang Beixing saw a spirited young woman in military uniform standing before him.

For a moment, he was dumbfounded.

He rubbed his eyes, checking again and again.

Utterly surprised, he asked, "You're... Sophia Zhou?"

"Yep!" Sophia Zhou nodded, her eyes curving into crescents like a new moon as she smiled cheerfully.

"Wait, what are you doing here?" Zhang Beixing asked, finding it unbelievable.

Hearing this, Sophia Zhou placed a finger on her lips, affecting a thoughtful pose. "If I remember correctly, I believe I just told you. But never mind, repeating it once more won't hurt. Hello, Grandmaster Zhang. From today onward, I will be your exclusive liaison officer, responsible for all your arrangements abroad. Please give me your guidance."

With that, she extended her hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing subconsciously reached out and shook it.

Then it hit him. "No, that's not what I was asking. I mean... didn't you just join the army? How did you get assigned here so soon?"

"Of course, it's due to my outstanding performance!" she replied.

Speaking of this, Sophia Zhou was visibly proud.

Ever since she joined the military, she had trained rigorously every day, pushing herself to improve.

In just half a year, she had earned two second-class merits.

Such remarkable achievements made her stand out among the other female soldiers.

That's why her superiors chose her to manage all of Zhang Beixing's affairs abroad.

"Hehe, I'm finally catching up to you, aren't I?"

Still holding Zhang Beixing's hand, Sophia Zhou was like a child proudly showing off a new toy to a parent, seeking praise.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but smile wryly.

He had been quite surprised when Sophia Zhou decided to join the military.

But now, after hearing what she had said, Zhang Beixing suddenly understood.

She did all this just to keep up with him...

"Of course!" Reaching out, Zhang Beixing gently stroked Sophia Zhou's smooth hair. "You've done very well!"

At his words, Sophia Zhou froze. It wasn't clear what came to her mind, but the smile on her lips suddenly faltered.

However, she quickly composed herself.

She wiped her eyes, rubbed her nose, and forced a smile.

"Sorry, it's just the dust in my eyes."

"Beixing, let's get back to the matter at hand."

"You came to the Middle East this time to resolve the conflict between the Martial Artists and the local criminal organizations, right?" Sophia Zhou said.

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing didn't press the previous matter.

He simply followed her lead and nodded. "Yes, Sophia. I remember I procured a shipment from General Huo when I was coming. Do you know where it is now?"

"They've been delivered to our temporary base, including your horse. Hop in the car; I'll take you there now."

Saying this, Sophia Zhou patted the car beside her, signaling Zhang Beixing to join her.

Zhang Beixing readily accepted the invitation.

He got into the car, and as it drove along the bumpy road, it wasn't long before they arrived at a campsite.

The area was heavily guarded and under strict surveillance.

The car stopped in front of the camp.

Sophia Zhou stepped forward, showing her credentials.

After the soldiers on duty confirmed their identities, they were allowed to pass.

Zhang Beixing followed Sophia Zhou through the camp for a short while.

Soon, he spotted his 'Snow-Hoofed Black Qilin'.

"Kylin, over here!" Zhang Beixing called out.

Hearing the call, the 'Snow-Hoofed Black Qilin' raised its head. Upon seeing Zhang Beixing, it excitedly trotted over, nuzzling its face against his.

It looked exceedingly affectionate.

But in reality—

SMACK!

He slapped the 'Snow-Hoofed Black Qilin's' face, knocking its snapping mouth aside. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Zhang Beixing was long immune to its disingenuous displays hidden behind a facade of affection.

He had deliberately provoked it mainly to check if the 'Snow-Hoofed Black Qilin' was showing any adverse reactions after arriving in the Middle East, such as stress or difficulty acclimatizing.

The current situation proved the creature was perfectly fine; there was no need to worry!

"Sorry for that. My mount can be quite a handful."

"So, shall I gather the Martial Artists now to distribute the equipment?" Zhang Beixing asked.

Sophia Zhou nodded. "Of course, please do. Just don't let them get too close to the main camp. You know this is a major armory, so security is tight."

"I understand!" Zhang Beixing made an "OK" gesture, showing he understood.

He then stepped aside, took out his phone, and contacted the Asia Martial Arts Association.

Soon, Zhang Beixing's location was relayed to all the Martial Artists in the Middle East.

The Martial Artists mobilized immediately.

A short while later, they arrived at the entrance of the camp where Zhang Beixing was waiting.

Looking at the assembled Martial Artists—battle-worn yet spirited and visibly excited—Zhang Beixing took a moment to survey them. After confirming their numbers, he cleared his throat. "Comrades, you've all worked hard."

"To fight for the glory of Martial Arts is no hardship!" the Martial Artists replied in unison, their voices filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing smiled slightly. "During this time, you have fought hard battles against these criminal organizations, rescuing fellow Martial Artists. I have seen all of this. You have done well. You are True Men, an inspiration to all Martial Artists."

"But now is not the time for commendations. We have a tough battle ahead!"

"These criminals are intent on destroying us Martial Artists. They rely on their firearms, believing they can annihilate us. Tell me, can you tolerate this?" Zhang Beixing asked.

"We cannot!" the crowd roared in response.

"Good!" Zhang Beixing nodded. "Then let's give them a fight they won't forget! Let them know that we Martial Artists are not to be trifled with! Everyone, come forward and get your guns! Then, follow me! We fight to the death!"
