The moment Sara discovered that Sifang Baozhuan had made its way back to China, she felt a wave of despair wash over her.


    For over three centuries, her guiding principle had been clear: she could stand against anyone, but she would never provoke a nation.


    Aside from a few minor countries, most sovereign states possess distinct advantages over Poqing.


    Even small sovereign nations have their ownnd and airspace. With appropriate funding, they could easily acquire fighter jets from major powers in either the Eastern or Western blocs. If they have ess to territorial waters, they can also purchase warships.


    These two factors are something Poqing Club simply cannotpete with.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Although Qing Qinghui currently boasts impressive financial resources and formidable individual capabilities, itpletelycks the upper hand when faced with heavy weaponry or even weapons of mass destruction.


    Furthermore, the Sifang Baozhu is a critical national asset, and China would undoubtedly go to great lengths to protect it, storing it in a highly secure location. Even if Qing Qinghui were to mobilize all its forces, there would be no opportunity to seize it.<fn8397> For more chapters visit fι?dnοvel</fn8397>


    In that moment, Sara was filled with rage!


    Her trip to New York had left her utterly drained!


    Herst remaining ally was gone, and so was Chen Zhimin!


    She had invested heavily in building awork of schrs worldwide, and few held the same importance as Chen Zhimin. It had taken dozens of people and over ten years to cultivate them, and now they were all reduced to nothing. With the loss of her final piece in Anjia, her situation looked bleak.


    Seeing Sara’s emotions spiraling out of control, Wu Tianlin quickly interjected, “Master Ying, given the circumstances, I suggest we prioritize our safety and return to the base. What do you think?”


    Sara, her face a mask of cold determination, replied, “Uncle Sean and Chen Zhimin have perished in New York. Starting with Uncle Nakul, our enemies have dealt us heavy blows one after another. I must uncover the truth behind this!”


    With a menacing expression, she continued, “And that Ross who inspected my helicopter—Childe family, I, Sara, have never forgotten a slight, no matter where I go. They will pay for this!”


    With that, Sara ordered assertively, “Return to New York!”


    …


    Upon her helicopter’s return to New York, Howard Rothschild, the patriarch of the Rothschild family,y weakly in bed. The dark circles under his eyes hinted at a sleepless night.


    Recently, Howard had faced a series of mental setbacks, culminating in a devastating blow early that morning. He had never anticipated that when his subordinate Hank pursued Peter Zhou, Chen Zhimin would resort to self-immtion.


    Learning that he had inadvertently contributed to the downfall of the Qing Society hit Howard hard.


    Even though he had followed An Qishan’s advice and destroyed the evidence at the scene, he remained anxious, having offended not just anyone, but the long-established and enigmatic Poqing Society.


    In the U.S., there are indeed numerous mysterious organizations with deep histories and ruthless reputations, but none rival the Qing Society.


    At that moment, he couldn’t shake the uncertainty of whether the Qing Society would uncover his involvement. If they did, the consequences could be dire.


    To safeguard his own well-being, he reached out to the heads of the Department of Homnd Security and the CIA soon after the incident, requesting their top agents and the most advanced equipment to ensure the safety of himself and his family at the Rothschild estate.
