Peter, riding in the claw fighter jet, soon arrived in Wakandan territory with the "Black Popsicle" T'Challa.
By this time, the Wakandan Royal Guard had already learned of the Prince's capture.
Thus, as soon as Peter passed through the protective shield equipped with holographic projection, he saw a large group of bald female guards holding spears, staring at him with strange expressions.
In fact, these female guards were also very conflicted at this moment.
If they attacked, they feared an accidental slip would turn their Prince into crushed ice.
If they didn't attack, it was truly humiliating to just watch someone parade through the streets carrying their Prince like that.
Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was awkward and tense, an old and majestic voice reached everyone's ears:
"Stand down from combat status. Make way for our... guest."
As he spoke, an elderly man wearing magnificent robes and possessing an elegant temperament slowly walked out, followed by an equally noble woman.
It was the King of Wakanda, T'Chaka, and Queen Ramonda.
T'Chaka looked at Peter hovering in the air and then at his son, who was frozen like a sculpture. A flicker of complexity flashed in his eyes, but it was mostly replaced by steadiness and reason.
He was long past the age of being impulsive and irritable, so he could easily judge that the other party had no intention of forming a life-and-death feud with Wakanda.
In other words, everything was negotiable!
Therefore, T'Chaka did not display any of the bossy arrogance of a monarch, but instead spoke with an equal and friendly posture:
"Strong one from afar, I am T'Chaka, the King of Wakanda. My son is young and headstrong, and he has offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf, and I am willing to pay the price for his recklessness."
Just as T'Chaka finished speaking, and before Peter could react, an arrogant voice came from behind the Wakandan crowd:
"T'Chaka, you really have grown old. Look at your subservient appearance when facing an enemy. Are you going to agree to any request from an outsider just because your son fell into their hands?
Someone like you is not worthy of the Black Panther God's recognition, nor are you worthy to continue as the King of Wakanda!"
The moment they heard these words, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Even the old King T'Chaka's face turned somewhat ugly.
In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly curse the people of the Jabari Tribe as absolute bastards!
They didn't cause trouble earlier or later, but chose this exact critical moment to jump out and make a scene.
That's right, the guy who dared to jump out and challenge T'Chaka was none other than MBaku, the chieftain of the Jabari Tribe, the only tribe in Wakanda that lived in isolation.
MBaku, walking out from the back, directly ignored Peter, the outsider.
Although this guy was a positive character in the movies,
His status as a positive character couldn't hide the fact that he was a narrow-minded frog in a well who clung to the past.
The Jabari Tribe disdained even the use of Vibranium technology, only worshiping primitive strength and physique. They had no idea how far the outside world had developed.
He was like that now; he had no idea how powerful Peter was.
He simply kept provoking the displeased T'Chaka, showing a mouthful of white teeth as he mocked him:
"T'Chaka, if you have become so senile that you are no longer fit to sit in this position, then I don't mind taking on the extra burden and becoming the new king of this country in your stead!"
Seeing MBaku becoming more and more excessive, the guards present tightened their grip on their spears.
T'Chaka's wife and daughter also glared at MBaku one after another.
As for T'Chaka, he just remained silent with his head down.
On one hand, he was indeed old, and he knew very well that he was no match for MBaku now.
On the other hand, he was worried that the conflict between himself and MBaku would make Peter laugh at them.
Being laughed at was a small matter, but if the national power represented by Peter realized that Wakanda was not a monolithic entity, then the situation would be very bad indeed.
Just as T'Chaka was at his wits' end due to the predicament he faced, a lazy and arrogant voice broke the silence of the scene:
"Where did this stray dog come from? While I'm negotiating terms with the King, what right does trash like you have to jump in and interrupt?"
The speaker's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a clap of thunder that made everyone present unconsciously widen their eyes.
Everyone looked toward the speaker in unison, only to find to their surprise that it was none other than the intruder who had "kidnapped" the Prince!
Is he crazy!
At this moment, the Wakandan warriors felt that the already awkward situation had turned into a complete mess.
MBaku was the acknowledged second strongest in Wakanda, and he led the most fearless warriors in all of Wakanda.
You actually dare to mock him as a stray dog?
What are they supposed to do if the two of them start fighting later?
Help MBaku? That would seem like slapping the King's face.
But if they helped this outsider... this guy just kidnapped the Prince! Teaming up with him to deal with the Jabari Tribe—how was that any different from "killing oneself"?
Just as everyone's feelings reached a peak of conflict, the ugly-faced MBaku suddenly turned around, his bull-like eyes glaring fiercely at Peter:
"Outsider, if you have the guts, say what you just said again..."
Boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying aura erupted from Peter's body.
The powerful temperament swept through the field, turning into a massive spiritual shock that instantly acted on everyone present, making them feel waves of dizziness.
And then... Thud, thud!
Those proud Wakandan warriors, who valued their dignity as warriors more than their own lives, now fell to their knees uncontrollably, one by one.
Those with slightly weaker constitutions even had their eyes rolling back in their heads.
And MBaku!
As the madman who dared to provoke a king, the Haoshoku shock he received was undoubtedly the most exaggerated.
Even though he was the second strongest in Wakanda, even though he was above thousands in his tribe, so what?
Haoshoku cannot be trained; it is the will of a king directly linked to combat power.
In terms of combat power, in front of Peter, who was invincible enough to roam the Earth and could easily knock the Hulk flat? What kind of Oreo do you think you are, MBaku?
MBaku noticed his knees were trembling slightly.
He pressed down hard on his knees, trying to resist this terrifying royal command.
But in the face of the true will of a king, his individual resistance was so pale.
Despite working so hard he nearly crushed his steel-like teeth, in the end, he still knelt before Peter with a face full of frustration, and in a standard prostrate position.
Peter looked down at MBaku from above and asked in a cold voice:
"What? I called you a stray dog, do you dare to have an objection?"
At this moment, MBaku's mind was a complete blank. He tried to talk back again and again, but his brain ruthlessly rejected the suicidal thought every time.
Finally, MBaku's mental defenses completely collapsed, and he only gave a response through tears:
"No... no objection."
