Prestige +5, +1, +2...
Although Colonel Joanna Edwards's words sounded subtle,
They were actually filled with the arrogance and threat of an American official looking down on others.
It was as if Kong was their Monarch Organization's exclusive property.
However...
Just like the humans in Kong's eyes, to Toarl, these soldiers were equally as insignificant as ants.
He had actually discovered these Monarch Organization members following behind Kong a long time ago.
This naturally included Colonel Joanna Edwards and her two companions who had secretly snuck into the underground cave.
But he did not pay attention to their little actions.
The reason was also very simple.
As long as these Monarch Organization members didn't actively seek death, keeping them around could contribute a few prestige points to Karl.
This was a snowballing process; for him, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
So... why not?!
At least he didn't have to be like a certain "model worker" Hell Lord, who resorted to all sorts of deception and trickery, even using the petty trick of signing "yin-yang contracts" just to collect more human souls.
Compared to that guy, Karl definitely earned his "money" standing up!!
"I'm taking this Kong. Tell your Monarch Organization's higher-ups to best not bother me, otherwise... you'll bear the consequences!"
Karl didn't even bother to look down at them, directly ordering Kong to swagger off in the direction of the Hercules.
And almost the moment he spoke,
Colonel Joanna Edwards and the other Monarch Organization members felt as if their minds were confined by some mysterious force.
Although they could still perceive the changes around them, they were completely unable to react.
This situation continued until Karl and Kong's figures completely disappeared into the jungle outside the valley before it was lifted.
"Ha... Ha... Ha..."
The Monarch Organization members were like a group of drowning people who had just been dragged ashore, collapsing powerlessly to the ground, gasping for air.
"Is that guy really human?"
After hovering on the brink of death, Colonel Joanna Edwards's face had turned incredibly pale, and large beads of sweat continuously dripped from her forehead.
Although this World was not lacking in Mutants, superpowered individuals under the Vought Corporation, and "gods" from legends like Thor...
All of these people, without exception, were subject to varying degrees of restrictions and limitations.
They often preferred not to engage in direct conflict with behemoths like the Monarch Organization.
But just now, on that man, she felt no such concerns at all.
It was as if they made any overly aggressive move, they would be instantly killed by the other party...
No, she must report this dangerous existence to headquarters as soon as possible!
Colonel Joanna Edwards immediately rushed to the Humvee, picked up the walkie-talkie inside, and began contacting the staff at Outpost 236.
However.
After some inquiry, she was informed that several communication teams previously sent out by the base station had all gone missing.
What on earth was going on???
...
A few hours later.
In the cockpit of the Hercules.
"Boss, the special operations team has so far repelled 6 sneak attacks by unknown aquatic monsters, driven away 38 flying monsters that invaded the airspace, and successfully destroyed 4 small vessels from unknown armed forces. No survivors have been found yet..."
The middle-aged sergeant in charge of security work reported the past events to Karl one by one.
After speaking, his gaze involuntarily glanced outside the cockpit at Kong, who was sitting on the deck, looking around.
Thinking that his boss could easily subdue a Titan beast over a hundred meters tall, his gaze towards Karl became even more filled with admiration and fanaticism.
Boss is awesome!!!
Karl's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
It turned out that the people who were supposed to report to the Monarch Organization Headquarters had all been inadvertently eliminated by his subordinates.
No wonder the related prestige points hadn't increased much in the past few days.
"You all did very well."
Karl never stinted on praising his subordinates, then turned to Captain Patrick, who had been standing by his side awaiting orders, and gestured:
"You can start the return journey."
"Yes, Boss." Captain Patrick hesitated repeatedly but still couldn't suppress his curiosity, asking cautiously:
"But are we really going to take that big guy back to Sokovia?"
The other crew members also pricked up their ears.
It was clear that all these people were full of curiosity about Kong.
"That's right."
Karl got up and went to the observation window in front, looking in the direction of Kong, and said meaningfully:
"Handsome's instance on Skull Island is over. Now it's time to start his new job... Ah, his new journey!!"
...
"Officer, those people have already taken Kong into the storm area outside the island. Should we act immediately?"
After confirming Karl's departure, several Monarch Organization reconnaissance soldiers immediately reported the news to Colonel Joanna Edwards, who had already returned to Outpost 236.
"No, wait!"
Colonel Joanna Edwards refused without hesitation:
"Our primary goal now is not to provoke or confront that man, but to truthfully report everything that happened here to the higher-ups, and then let them decide what to do next."
So...
After waiting for a full hour,
The staff of Outpost 236 cautiously piloted their vessel out of the storm area surrounding Skull Island.
Then, they used a satellite communication device to transmit the message back to the Monarch Organization's headquarters.
...
Monarch Organization Headquarters.
In a certain conference room, several core high-ranking members of the Monarch Organization were all gathered with solemn expressions.
Among them was Dr. Emma Russell, who had "suddenly disappeared and then suddenly returned" not long ago.
Due to the unexpected loss of the ORCA device, she had been very depressed lately.
Because it would take a long time to rebuild an ORCA device.
And this would undoubtedly greatly delay her research progress.
However.
No matter how hard she tried to recall what had happened during those "blank" days, it all ended in failure.
Even a renowned hypnotist couldn't help her retrieve that memory.
It was as if that memory had vanished into thin air.
Emma Russell was already considering whether to go to the Vought Corporation to find a superpowered individual who could peek into others' memories to try.
In stark contrast to her,
Serizawa Ichiro, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, although he also looked troubled, his expression was clearly much more relaxed.
Because the Security Council had approved the Jaeger Program and sanctioned the formation of the Pan-Pacific United Defense Force (PPDC) to deal with the Titans... oh no, the Kaiju that would appear in the future.
This went against his original intention.
However, what truly made him restless was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s compensation claim of 1 billion.
Even for a behemoth like the Monarch Organization, this suddenly appearing enormous expense was quite tricky.
It could very likely directly lead to the various bases of the Monarch Organization falling into a state of shutdown due to funding shortages!!!
