The sound of knocking on wooden planks came from the Honglai Silver Mine. A figure with jagged wings suddenly rose into the sky among the buildings. It soared into the clear night sky from the concealing dust. The creature was like an exquisite weapon from the ancient times. The icy flicker of its hide was rather intimidating.
“A Carnelian Demon Bird?” Tangyue recognized the creature in the night sky at first glance.
“It looks like someone is riding it,” Mo Fan noticed.
—
A huge burst of laughter echoed in the sky. The whole Honglai Silver Mine could hear it.
A few researchers stood on the plaza where Councilman Nan’s statue was located. They were staring at the Carnelian Manta Ray Evil Bird in the sky excitedly.
“Twenty years, it’s been twenty years… we finally did it. It will finally obey our orders!” a man in a white coat who looked very similar to Chen Shuo exclaimed.
The man was Chen Shuo’s elder brother, Chen Wen. He was the only person who did not give up on the project to tame the Manta Ray Evil Birds. He even had his brother watch over the island and bring back a Sapphire Manta Ray Evil Bird so he could continue with the experiment.
Every experiment he had conducted on that Sapphire Manta Ray Evil Bird ended up in failure, but when the military brought back the Carnelian Manta Ray Evil Birds, he attempted to tame them while they were still drugged. To his disbelief, it worked!
The Carnelian Manta Ray Evil Bird flying in the night sky had just been tamed, and the man riding it laughing as happily as a kid was Councilman Nan!
The Heavenly Eagles were rubbish compared to the Manta Ray Evil Birds. Their base now had so many Manta Ray Evil Birds, and they already knew how to breed the creatures rapidly. The Manta Ray Evil Birds would replace the Heavenly Eagles in no time!
The Heavenly Eagles were the core of the military’s air power. If the Manta Ray Evil Birds replaced them, Councilman Nan would basically have control over half the military! Therefore, if his plan succeeded, the loss of an election would no longer matter to him. The whole country would fall to their knees before him!
“HAHAHAHA, HAHAHA, just you all wait, HAHAHA!” Councilman Nan’s voice continued to echo in the sky.
His life had been rising and falling hugely. Councilman Nan had completely gotten rid of his sullen mood during the enjoyable flight.
“Chen Wen, you did great! How about the rest of the Carnelian Demon Birds?” Councilman Nan asked.
“We have nine Carnelian Demon Birds. I’ve successfully tamed them all. However, the anesthesia the Lesser Featherless Birds and the Sapphire Manta Ray Evil Birds are under will be over soon. We tried to drug them again, but we discovered their bodies have developed a certain immunity to it. The effects won’t last long. They will be awake soon,” Chen Wen informed him.
“Why would it matter? The Lesser Featherless Birds and Sapphire Manta Ray Evil Birds take orders from the Carnelian Manta Ray Evil Birds! They won’t dare cause a scene once we tame all nine Carnelian Manta Ray Evil Bird!” Councilman Nan declared.
“That’s true! When we were breeding them in the past, we strictly made sure they had the nature to obey the higher-level birds. It’s only a matter of time until we tame them all now…” Chen Wen agreed.
“I can finally have a nice sleep tonight. Cai Dong, call the general of the Hongling Division over tomorrow morning. Tell him I’ll be taking charge of his division. If he knows his place, he will cooperate with me, and I’ll give him a bunch of Manta Ray Evil Birds in return. If he dares to act arrogantly in front of me still, humph!…” Councilman Nan ordered.
