"Innocent? Ha, that's the funniest joke I've heard all year!" Natasha stood up with a powerful presence, shouting fiercely, "Listen, you bastards! Every imperial citizen deserves to die! To kill them a hundred times, to die a thousand times, would still not be unjust!"

"Everyone, load your guns!"

"Kill these imperial pigs, leave not a single one alive!"

The sharp command sank everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, the sound of crying, begging for mercy, and angry curses filled the air, but no trace of compassion appeared on Natasha's face, no matter how the disarmed imperial citizens struggled.

A few impatient men attempted to resist, but were blasted into pieces by Natasha's spell-casters, further deepening the sense of despair in the ranks.

Kill them all, kill every single imperial citizen, and avenge her fallen brother...

Click!

The sound of bullets being loaded in unison, the soldiers' fingers on the triggers, magic infused into the air...

The imperial citizens closed their eyes, surrendering, the devout praying to their gods, the faint-hearted burying their heads in the ground like ostriches...

Just then, a loud shout came:

"Hold your fire! Spare their lives!"

Everyone turned towards the sound, seeing a young man in a white suit, white pants, and a white hat walking through the air, stepping on tree tips with confident strides, approaching from a distance.

His steady steps showed his determination, his bright smile exuded youthful passion, and his strong voice demonstrated his strength. He would use the sweat of his struggle to conquer the arena and embrace the glory of victory with glistening tears!

The above was all figments of Li Wei's imagination. In reality, a foolish dog in white clothes floated down from the sky and landed on the ground in a diving posture.

He held a suspicious-looking piece of meat in his mouth and happily chewed, oblivious to everyone else's hunger - after all, the Special Enrollment Group had not eaten dinner yet!

"Who are you, sir?" Natasha nervously stared at the strange man before her, feeling a sense of shock.

As an elite member of the Federal Ghost Agent, her perception was very strong, yet she had completely failed to notice this person's approach.

"Just me," Li Wei swallowed the meat, grinning mischievously. "I'm nothing special, just a thief driven by curiosity. You had your eye on my target, and I had initially intended to sit back and watch the show. But when I realized that the mission would be compromised if I didn't intervene, I had no choice but to come out and reason with you."

Natasha's shock grew stronger as she picked up on the implications of Li Wei's words. It seemed that this person had been lurking nearby for some time, only stepping in to stop her when he saw she was about to kill these people.

Doesn't that mean he can hide his presence right under her nose?

And he's even eating?

Even in the Ghost Agent Academy, individuals with such exceptional stealth abilities were extremely rare. Could this person be a superpower?

In fact, Li Wei was just joking. Previously, he had killed a giant eight-headed snake halfway up the mountain and roasted its meat, which delayed him. He only heard the sound of magic-infused cannon fire and came running with his journalist boots, completely unaware of what had happened on the battlefield.

"Hmph, it seems you're quite confident," Natasha coldly probed. "To appear alone in the midst of an ambush, you must be skilled, right?"

"Don't bother with all that," Li Wei waved arrogantly. "I'm just here to let you know that I have a use for these people, so don't kill them."

"Huh, a notification?" Natasha sneered. "And who do you think you are to give me orders?"

"Whether I have the right or not, you'll find out if you give it a try," Li Wei said. "Let's not waste time. Either you and your people leave, or I'll smash your dog head. Your choice."
