It had never been used before, ever since it was built. Undoubtedly, it saved the whole of Eurasia; yet, the Great Marshal had sacrificed his life.
The massive explosive wave and the energy shockwave surged every corner, wiping out the Carter family's advance team.
The exact number of the fatalities for the advance team could not be estimated. Quite a number of people were even ripped apart by the horrendous energy.
As the heads of the three sects were standing closest to the explosive point, the explosion sent them flying to nowhere.
Fortunately, the president's residence was under the shield of the energy barrier formed by Sole Wolf and the others. It managed to hold most of the energy shockwave from blasting the place.
Nevertheless, Sole Wolf and the others could only hold on for barely three minutes before collapsing one by one on the ground. Blood was oozing profusely from their entire bodies; yet, it was unknown if they were still alive or dead. Apart from that, their energy was completely drained.
Unavoidably, the remaining small portion of the energy shockwave destroyed a few blocks of the president's residence. Even so, it was a blessing that the core sections were not affected.
The earth-shattering vibration lasted for ten minutes before it finally stopped, and the whole world seemed to be back to peace again. Only the ghastly red stream formed by blood was still flowing.
All the other buildings within an area of a two kilometers radius were blazed to the ground except the president's residence.
Lifeless bodies were strewn all over the ground; pieces of the bodies were scattered everywhere. The gruesome scene of the living h*ll would cause anyone's blood to run cold.
After five minutes, the sound of someone coughing was heard among the lifeless bodies.
Moments later, a figure in gory mess wobbled as he stood up. It turned out to be Jaime. Even his so-called legendary armor was torn apart like scrap metal.
After getting his advance team to shield him against the blast at the eleventh hour, he managed to cheat death. When he turned to look beside him, he was petrified to find the other three heads of the sects lying motionless on the ground in a horrifying way.
Rattled by the horrific scene moments ago, he could not resist heaving a sigh of relief.
My goodness, Zeke Williams had almost wiped out the Four Hidden Sects just now by himself! The power of this formidable genius is horrendous indeed! Anyway, there's still a chance for me since I have survived the massive blast!
He whipped out a resurrection pill and swallowed it as he advanced toward the president's residence. Subsequently, he had a visible speedy recovery with glowing cheeks again within a short span of time.
As expected, nobody stood in his way as he made his way toward the president's residence. The defending team was gone after the massive explosion.
Zeke fell into the bottomless abyss. Meanwhile, Sole Wolf and the others' energy was drained, let alone their current condition, dead or alive. In other words, nobody was defending the president's residence at the moment!
Jaime yelled out, “I'm Jaime Carter from the Carter sect. Mr. President, I wish to see you!”
Huh!
From the inner part of the president's residence, someone heaved a sigh of resignation in a hoarse voice.
“Jaime Carter, you've broken the promise by reappearing without my consent. Don't you know you have committed a serious offense?” the president questioned in exasperation.
Jaime retorted adamantly, “I don't see that as an offense. Mr. President, I'm looking forward to meeting you and discussing the future development of our nation. Unexpectedly, these uncivilized and ruthless men dare to stand in my way. For the future of Eurasia, I've no choice but to finish them off.”
The president asked again, “What's your so-called future development of our nation?”
Jaime responded earnestly, “Throughout the whole century, the martial arts world of Eurasia is still as stagnant as a pool of dead water, without any advancement. Subsequently, the foreigners have been looking down their noses at us and trampling our pride! My Heart wrenched seeing that. Hence, I sincerely hope you'll grant my wish to lead the martial arts world again. By then, I'm convinced to have it restored to its former glory!”
Even so, the president snickered. “Stop wasting your time deluding me with your words. Do you think I'm unaware that there is something up your sleeve, huh?”
Jaime let out deep sighs resignedly. “Mr. President, there's nothing I can do since you don't trust me. For the future of Eurasia, I can only take the risk then.”
Next, he continued to make his way toward the residence.
The president snarled, “I'm giving you an Imperial Decree now! Stop right there! If you dare to step forward, you'll be finished off right away!”
