John, feeling helpless, could only stay and asked the town mayor, "Mr. Mayor, do you have any other matters? I need to leave immediately; there are very important things I must do."
Upon hearing that John was about to leave, the mayor quickly said, "Esteemed martial artist, you see, you helped us repel the invading Red Ribbon Army."
"When you're here, I believe they wouldn't dare invade us, but once you leave, I think these lunatics will retaliate fiercely."
"So, you want me to help eliminate this Red Ribbon Army?" John asked.
The mayor nodded eagerly and said, "Yes, can you do that, Mr. John?"
Thinking about how he wanted to find Androids 17 and 18—who were likely at the Red Ribbon Army headquarters—John decided that while he was looking for them, he might as well clear out this new headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army.
He nodded and replied, "No problem. But do you know where the headquarters is located?"
Hearing John's agreement, the mayor happily said, "It's in a mountainous area to the north; that's where the new headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army has been established."
"Alright, then I'll head there." John flew into the sky and bid farewell to the townspeople before rapidly heading north.
However, John did not realize that Androids 17 and 18 had not returned to the Red Ribbon Army headquarters. They were currently at the edge of a cliff, using binoculars to look at the sky.
After a while, Android 17 said to his sister Android 18, "Sister, look! That John is indeed flying towards headquarters."
Android 18 took the binoculars from Android 17 and confirmed that John was indeed flying northward.
It was clear that his main target was the new headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army.
Android 17 joyfully said to Android 18, "Sister, as long as John can destroy the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army, we can break free from their control and regain our freedom."
"Then you can dress like a normal girl, wear a swimsuit, sunbathe, and even have a passionate love affair."
Unlike their cold exterior, both Androids had warm feelings inside.
Android 18 flicked her golden hair and said with a hint of longing, "A passionate love isn't what I yearn for; a simple love is what lasts."
Suddenly, Android 17 said, "Actually, that John isn't bad. He's good-looking and has a nice personality. If he weren't an enemy, sister could actually be with him."
"Enough!" Android 18 interrupted her brother and continued, "Let's hurry up; I feel that John is quite extraordinary. To avoid him discovering us, we should fly in the opposite direction from here."
So they quickly flew southward. Their only thought now was to distance themselves from John and the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army.
Meanwhile, John was still foolishly flying towards the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army while contemplating how he could change his impression in Android 18's eyes and how he could get her to leave with him.
He had no idea that Android 18 had already left in the opposite direction; he didn't know when they would meet again.
As John flew towards the Red Ribbon Army headquarters, it was already in chaos.
Through surveillance monitors, they had detected that John was rapidly approaching their headquarters.
"Quick! Sound the alarm! We have an enemy invasion; this enemy is very powerful!" shouted an observer at the headquarters.
Immediately, a deafening alarm echoed throughout the Red Ribbon Army headquarters as soldiers began to grab their weapons in preparation for a deadly confrontation with the intruder.
"The enemy has entered our air defense zone; radar locked on! Launch missiles!" commanded an officer at the command center.
As soon as the order was given, John felt himself being locked onto by something and saw countless missiles launching from below directly at him.
John didn't think about fighting back; it would waste time. He immediately accelerated and lowered his altitude while those missiles seemed to use some tracking technology to follow him closely.
However, as John flew through a forest filled with trees, many missiles collided with surrounding trees during their pursuit.
Watching explosions erupt behind him made John chuckle as he continued towards the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army.
As he got closer to them, numerous weapons emerged from high mountains in the forest. Bullets from anti-aircraft machine guns formed streams shooting towards John.
John raised his hands and fired countless energy blasts at those anti-aircraft machine guns.
Numerous machine guns were destroyed by John's attacks with loud explosions ringing out.
Seeing this situation unfold made the commander at Red Ribbon Army headquarters change his expression drastically; cold sweat poured down his face. This guy was even stronger than the one who destroyed their previous headquarters!
Seeing their defensive weapons being destroyed again made his subordinates look at him anxiously. The commander gritted his teeth and said: "Deploy all fighter jets! We must kill this guy who dares invade our headquarters!"
His subordinates excitedly agreed before rushing out to carry out orders. However, shortly after they left, their commander secretly slipped away under the pretext of needing to use the restroom.
The commander arrived at the treasury of headquarters and opened a capsule. With a loud boom, a large duffel bag appeared.
He filled this bag with money but regretted not preparing for such an unexpected attack. He reluctantly glanced at all this cash-filled treasury before tossing in a match.
Finally, without looking back, he rushed to an airfield and quickly piloted a plane away from this newly built Red Ribbon Army headquarters.
When his subordinates returned to command after issuing orders but found no sign of their commander after waiting left and right—they realized they had been abandoned by him.
Understanding this fact made those soldiers unwilling to serve the Red Ribbon Army any longer; they scattered like birds taking flight or fish swimming away in panic.
Some also thought about heading to the treasury but when they arrived there they found it engulfed in flames while its fire suppression system had been disabled by their treacherous commander.
Just as they were about to turn on the fire suppression system hoping to salvage some money before it burned completely—suddenly with a loud crash—a large hole appeared in the wall.
John shone brightly as he appeared before everyone.
