Chapter 251: Unleashed Ambitions in the Manor

Inside the Manor, Lin Rui stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Yenir’s return in sheer awe.

He had witnessed the entire ordeal firsthand.

Although Yenir had already showcased his strength and astonishing abilities,

for Lin Rui—who had just been a student only a couple of hours ago—everything unfolding before him was utterly shocking.

Could one man really threaten an entire Federation?

Was that mech unit one of his idols?

Is this true power? Is this the strength he might one day possess?

In that uncertain moment, Lin Rui felt a seed of ambition taking root in his heart.

It was wild! And honestly, it looked exhilarating.

Though he didn’t quite understand how Yenir and his team claimed to have traveled through time to save the world—their methods resembled those of a villain—but since Yenir had never harmed him, there was no need for deceit. Besides, Yenir’s efficiency was nothing short of insane!

The Central Federation… had actually conceded!

Perhaps time was too precious, making such drastic measures necessary?

A fan of sci-fi movies, Lin Rui quickly conjured up countless theories, even speculating on what a future apocalypse might look like…

Meanwhile…

Inside the Hall, the small squad’s expressions were no better than Lin Rui’s.

They exchanged uneasy glances, their mouths dry with anxiety.

“Captain…”

“Isn’t Yenir’s move just too arrogant?”

Standing next to Ming Luo, one squad member felt his palms break out in nervous sweat.

Although calling Yenir this wasn’t exactly flattering, he couldn’t find a more tactful word.

In truth, Yenir’s actions were like dancing on the edge of a knife—each move a slap in the Federation’s face, utterly disregarding their strength.

With a formidable fleet of fighter jets and mech units, provoking the enemy was a dangerous game. Yenir might escape, but they were undoubtedly doomed!

They were up against the might of an entire civilized world!

Apart from the Awakeners, the armed forces here were even mightier than those in China!

In past large-scale incursions, their approach had been to stay as low-key as possible and avoid provoking local forces. Every reckless Awakener had paid a steep price.

But ever since Yenir took charge, everything they believed in had been turned upside down.

“Can tasks really be accomplished like this…”

“I feel like he’s playing like he’s got some kind of cheat…”

“Do you think we could ever learn to do the same?”

Listening to the squad’s dazed murmurs, Ming Luo managed a bitter smile before whispering,

“Forget it.”

“He dares to act this way because he holds the keys to this world’s so-called nuclear arsenal. I have no idea where he got them…”

“If we tried to mimic him, we’d probably end up with nothing left of ourselves…”

Watching Yenir leisurely pour himself another glass of red wine and recline on the sofa, Ming Luo felt a tangle of emotions rising within him.

It was all like a surreal dream…

The squad wasn’t wrong—Yenir did seem to be operating on another level.

But thankfully, Yenir was on their side.

After a moment’s hesitation, uncertain of their next move, Ming Luo timidly asked,

“Yenir, are we just waiting here?”

“What’s your next move? Will you have them assist us?”

On the sofa, Yenir lazily opened his eyes and nodded casually.

Catching sight of Lin Rui looking at him with a look of admiration, he waved his hand, instantly erecting a mental barrier to muffle the sound.

“When we meet the president, just lie and tell them we’re here to save the world.”

“We won’t just need their cooperation—I have other plans for them.”

“Ideally, we should control this world’s armed forces and install puppets in power.”

Huh!?

Hearing a plan that diverged from his own expectations, Ming Luo asked in confusion,

his voice trailing off as he wondered aloud:

“Wasn’t it just that they were supposed to help us locate the Professor and grab some ore?”

“What exactly are we planning to control them for?”

“Yenir, once we leave, this world will quickly plunge into an apocalypse. By the time we return, it will be long gone.”

“Our internal and external time flows differ by nearly tenfold!”

“And what if they don’t believe us? Are we really going to continue threatening them with nuclear bombs? I can’t shake the feeling… the risk is far too high…”

Assuming Yenir intended to leave a contingency in this world for future entries, Ming Luo hastily explained his point.

Before he could finish, Yenir simply shook his head slightly and smiled,

“They will believe it.”

“Just flaunt some abilities, convince them that we can grant them such power—even extend their lifespans.”

“Imagine how many will secretly be enticed, even if they doubt you?”

“Money and prestige work wonders, not to mention the allure of power and ‘immortality’.”

“And regarding your worry that our methods might fail after the apocalypse?”

Yenir chuckled softly, then replied,

“Then simply stop the apocalypse…”

“Taking away a batch of ore means nothing. I want the entire world to become our mine!”

“If we’re going to do this, we need to go big or go home!”

Without explaining why he had to alter the realm’s progression, Yenir closed his eyes, continuously refining his next strategy in his mind.

For him, the entire incursion was child’s play.

The only real challenge was pinpointing the source of the apocalypse.

If all went as planned, he would start by targeting the Professor in the mission.

Taking control here and seizing the highest authority would grant him access to the mothership blueprints.

The potential benefits behind this move had even ignited his own passion.

Inside the Hall, every squad member listened in a daze to Yenir’s plan, utterly stunned.

They were about to embark on a heist… on a truly massive scale.

……

Twelve minutes later.

A deep, rumbling roar announced the arrival of a massive shadow outside the Manor.

A large, emergency-deployed floating fighter jet was descending steadily.

Inside the open cabin, high-ranking Military officials with grim expressions silently observed Yenir as he led the way.
