"You're... you're screwing me over!" Blair glared angrily at Fang Jueyu. He couldn't believe Fang Jueyu had secretly poisoned him.

"Mr. Blair, I'm just trying to warn you, this is Huaxia, not the Federation. Not everything is up to you. Whatever we arrange, you have to follow, understood?" Fang Jueyu said in a threatening tone.

Huaxia is a land of etiquette; if others are polite, we naturally respond in kind. But if someone comes here looking for trouble, sorry, Huaxia is not a pushover!

"You're courting death!" Blair was on the verge of losing control. As the first person in history to become a Divine-level Superpower User, even the current Federation Chairman treated him with respect, yet Fang Jueyu dared to use this attitude.

"Hey, Mr. Blair, I advise you not to get angry, and don't casually use your energy either. This 'Laughing Step Away' is colorless and tasteless. With any intense emotional fluctuation—crying, laughing, anger, or sadness—the toxin will rapidly spread through your body!" Fang Jueyu said with a sly grin.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Blair felt a wave of sharp pain throughout his body.

"Haha, Mr. Blair, of course I know you're a Divine-level Superpower User, but our Huaxia's Poison Techniques aren't famous for nothing. This is a Tier-3 poison; in other words, it has a certain lethality even against a Divine-level Superpower User!"

Blair immediately mobilized his superpowers to suppress the poison.

"Mr. Fang, I'll follow your arrangements, but could you give me the antidote first?" Blair's tone had completely lost its earlier domineering nature.

"Well..." Fang Jueyu said apologetically, "This poison was just developed with my friends a few days ago. We've only made the poison and haven't had time to make an antidote yet. Hehehe, Mr. Blair, you're so strong now, you should be able to use your superpowers to neutralize the toxin, right?"

For superpower users, ordinary toxins can't damage their bodily functions. The source of superpowers is Cosmic Source Power, sufficient to kill ordinary viruses, bacteria, and poisons. However, Blair discovered that this toxin was incredibly stubborn.

He could rely on his energy to completely neutralize the toxin, but it might take half a day, meaning he could do almost nothing during that time.

Little did he know, though "Laughing Step Away" sounded old-fashioned, it was manufactured using technology from a second-tier civilization. The toxicity is extremely persistent; even a Source Energy User would need several minutes to detoxify themselves.

Blair didn't believe Fang Jueyu's nonsense. If there was no antidote, he'd eat three tons of shit standing on his head, but since Fang Jueyu didn't give it to him, what could he do? Moreover, no one saw Fang Jueyu poison him. Without Fang Jueyu's warning, he wouldn't have even known he was poisoned.

Even if it was talked about, who would believe it?

"So he had it all calculated!" Blair now realized that Fang Jueyu was not only terrifyingly powerful but also had a deep and cunning mind. He had everything planned out.

"So, Mr. Blair, please follow our arrangements. Rest assured, I'll show you what you want to see. Otherwise, the leaders will blame me for not treating guests well, and you'll all say I'm stingy. If it gets out, others might think Huaxia is selfish!"

"Alright, tomorrow it is. Take us to the hotel then!" Blair finally gave in.

Not to mention that they were now in a public setting; if things got physical, they would face reproach from superpower user organizations worldwide.

Even if there were no people around, he'd been poisoned, and his combat power would be reduced by at least thirty percent, making it uncertain if he could overpower Fang Jueyu. This wasn't the outcome he wanted.

His goal was to return the favor for how Fang Jueyu once subdued the world's superpower users alone. He needed to be in his best state.

But Fang Jueyu's words sent a chill through him.

Didn't Fang Jueyu know he was already a superpower user? If it were any other country, their current attitude would be one of immense caution. Yet how could they openly embrace this exchange visit?

"Hmph, it must be a mere bluff. Relying on these tricks can't defeat me!" Last time, it was just because Blair was unprepared. If it happened again, he certainly wouldn't fall for Fang Jueyu's tricks.

"Let's go, take Mr. Blair and the delegation members from the Federation to the hotel!" Fang Jueyu waved to the Yanhuang staff.

As Blair took his first step, the heart-wrenching pain attacked him again. He found out that whenever he took a step, the toxin would assault his body. Even if he forcefully suppressed it, the pain was only partially diminished.

"Fang Jue... Adviser Fang, why can't I move?" Blair's voice contained a hint of fear. This poison was developed by Fang Jueyu. He had no idea of its nature or potency; everything was at Fang Jueyu's discretion.

"Hahaha, Master Hua's poison really works wonders!" Fang Jueyu chuckled internally. "Mr. Blair, don't you know Huaxia language?"

"What does Adviser Fang mean?"

"I've told you, the poison you have is called 'Laughing Step Away.' As the name implies, you can't laugh or take half a step, or the toxin will spread and attack your body functions!"

"How can there be such a poison!" Blair knew Huaxia's Poison Techniques and the Gu Technique were unbelievably mysterious. He didn't expect to have a chance to try it himself. "So, what should I do? How do I get to the hotel?"

"Oh, that's simple, Mr. Blair. Since you can't walk, just fly!"

"If I could fly now, would I be standing here talking nonsense with you?" Blair cursed internally.

He could fly, true, but not skillfully. This was a public place, not unless he wanted to be a headline in Huaxia tomorrow.

Moreover, now he had to divert part of his energy to suppress the toxin, making it impossible to focus solely on flying.

"Then there's no other way, Mr. Blair. You'll just have to jump for the day!"

"Jump?" Blair's eyes widened. As the leader of the Federation's superpower users, the world's only Divine-level Superpower User, he was supposed to jump around like a fool? Was he a zombie?

"Shall I find someone to carry you?" Fang Jueyu asked, feigning difficulty.

"Fine, I'll jump!" Blair said, then began hopping towards the airport exit.

"Ha!" Long Ting laughed immediately upon seeing this. Fang Jueyu and Blair were using spiritual power to communicate, and no one else had heard what they were saying. Seeing Blair like this, not just the people of Yanhuang, even those from the Federation were bewildered.

"What's wrong with him?" Long Ting asked.

"Oh, maybe he's too excited for his first visit to Huaxia?" Fang Jueyu made up an excuse. "I used to walk like this during my elementary school's spring and autumn outings!"

"Hey, Mr. Blair, watch out for the steps and threshold ahead!"

"Thump!"

"Ouch!"
