The man's smile vanished instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "When did he lose contact? Were there any signs before the loss of contact?"

Chen Shu shook her head: "There were no signs at all. He has been living an honest and self-disciplined life under our surveillance, working, forgetting his origins, and firmly believing that he is a member of the Jishi Society."

"But the night before yesterday, he invited a few friends to go fishing by the lake in the suburbs. He didn't come home in the morning. The surveillance personnel rushed to the lake to check, but found no signs of fighting, nor any fishing gear. There was nothing by the lake!"

"We asked Abe Marshall's friends, and they said that Abe Marshall said he was not feeling well that night and went home early in the middle of the night."

"Premeditated escape!" The man's tone was firm, and he said in a deep voice: "He has been hypnotized by the Palace Master. It is impossible for him to regain consciousness and break free from control on his own! I have told you many times that Abe Marshall is a very important chess piece. He can help us uncover the truth about the collapse of Mount March. Losing this chess piece will create a dead end on our chessboard, which is extremely unfavorable!"

Chen Shu raised her eyebrows, "Are you blaming me?"

"Blame me, blame me!" The man quickly admitted his mistake, acting like a good brother who doesn't argue with his sister, "Someone took Abe Marshall away. The best result is that the Heavenly Punishment took him away. The worst result is that the evil camp found him. If it's the latter, if Marshall breaks the hypnosis and reveals the relationship between the Jishi Society and me, you will be in danger!"

The man thought for a while and said, "Notify the members of the organization to go into hiding for the time being!"

Chen Shu frowned, "What about you if we go into hiding? Who will collect intelligence for you, provide funds? Who will help you secretly form alliances and win over allies! Who will work for you and handle some things that are inconvenient for you to come forward?"

The meaning of the existence of the Jishi Society is to serve this demigod!

Without a subordinate organization, the demigod is just a lone figure with battle power, and a demigod without affiliated forces will definitely be killed by the demigods of the hostile camp!

Because they will already be behind in intelligence gathering, and if the demigod wants to set up a situation, to trick people, to arrange troops, they all need help.

Now, if it is wartime, and the Merchant Guild cannot completely trust others, if the members of the Jishi Society go into hiding again, it will be like being half-blind!

"Listen to me, hide well. I have a bad feeling about Abe Marshall's disappearance at this juncture!" The President's tone was light but serious!

"Okay, I'll stay in New York County for a while!" Chen Shu didn't object and changed the subject, "I saw Guan Ya today, and I'm not very satisfied! You know, the Palace Master is the wife I chose for him. I don't recognize any other woman besides her!"

"It's as if he'll listen if you don't recognize her..." The man muttered softly!

"What did you say?" Chen Shu raised her eyebrows!

"What I mean is, what about my successor? Either become the Lord of the Sun, or return to The Way of the Extraordinary. There's no such thing as wanting a wife and children and a warm bed. If he returns to The Way of the Extraordinary, do you still care who your daughter-in-law is? If he becomes the Lord of the Sun, then you, as a mother, need to broaden your horizons and build an apartment building for him, full of your daughters-in-law!" The man spoke eloquently!

Chen Shu snorted coldly, "My husband can't have concubines, and neither can my son."

At this moment, the phone in the pocket of his yellow pajamas rang. The man took it out and said, "The successor is calling me. In short, you and the members of the Jishi Society should go into hiding first, at least give me some time to confirm Abe Marshall's condition!" After saying that, he put away his phone and, with a snap, disappeared from the hotel suite!

In the master bedroom of an empty house in King County, Zhang Yuanqing was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a dust cloth pulled aside, frowning as he listened to the unanswered phone!

What's going on? Is the President unable to answer the phone because of something? This is the first time it has happened! Zhang Yuanqing was a little worried!

Suddenly, he heard a ringtone behind him. He quickly turned his head and saw a man wearing a yellow bathrobe and a silver mask standing by the window, looking out at the city in the night through the crisscrossing wooden planks!

"Perfect, I came directly to New York County!" President said!

Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and went straight to the point: "President, I want to report to you the recent intelligence, one of which is very special and very important!"

Hearing this, President turned around and appeared on the sofa opposite Zhang Yuanqing, sitting upright.

Zhang Yuanqing narrated in detail, telling President about his recent encounters: After entering the God's Kingdom of the Free Alliance, he discovered that the god of the evil camp was Stephen Simpson, the only survivor of the Sea Swallow ship from 1900, who had escaped with a magic seed and has been hiding ever since. He is very likely a high-level member of the Biological Alchemy Society!

He told President about the open and secret struggles of the Hong Kong Line battle, Qianning Lu's betrayal, and the Hunter Guild's plan to have him seduce Donna to plot the Thunder God Set, the last piece of the Holy Disk Fragment, and the map of the Vatican Treasury!

He only concealed the fact that his clone used the "seduction" tactic to get to know Katherine intimately.

President sat in silence for a long time, about a quarter of an hour, before letting out a long sigh.

"Your intelligence has solved many of my doubts. I am referring to the extraterrestrial visitor. No wonder the Free Alliance can calculate everything and be ahead in everything, because they have a god behind them."

"The god knows all the secrets of The Way of the Extraordinary, but the orderly camp has no administrator!"

"So that's the truth about Mount March!"

With the god personally guiding the Free Alliance, of course they can be ahead in everything and gain the upper hand.

"It's really not playing by the rules!"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and then asked, "Mount March? The one that had an earthquake in 2007?" He had heard about this from Hades.

President made an "hmm" sound.

"In 2007, the Marshall family convened celebrities from all walks of life in the First District to a meeting on Mount March, claiming to have discovered a secret that could change the world. On the day of the meeting, Mount March collapsed, and everyone who attended the meeting died, with no survivors. This was done by the Free Alliance, and even today, the major orderly organizations do not know what secret the Marshall family discovered. The Free Alliance is always one step ahead of us!"

"With a god guiding them from behind, this is an advantage that the orderly camp cannot match. There are many similar situations, and even more hidden behind the curtain. Alas, the only one who can really compete with the god is the Lord of the Stars in Beijing, but I don't understand his chess moves. In recent years, it seems like he hasn't done anything, but it also seems like he's done a little bit of everything!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. I'll help you keep an eye out for the Thunder God Set's components. I'll take them directly from The Way of the Extraordinary, but if the cost is too high, then forget it."

Some equipment appears directly in The Way of the Extraordinary dungeons, while some equipment is hidden. Only if the rating after clearing the dungeon meets the standard will it be rewarded to the Wayfarer during the settlement.

He can forcibly take any item that appears directly in the dungeon, but the cost is very high!

Not to mention Sage-level items, even Sovereign-level items are useless to a Demigod. It's not worth paying the price to forcibly take them. The loss will definitely be greater than the gain, unless the item has a special function!

"Thank you, President." Zhang Yuanqing smiled and thought, "It's good to have a big boss as a backer!"

Then he tentatively asked, "What about Donna's mission?"

President asked back, "What are your thoughts?"

Zhang Yuanqing had thought about this question many times, and he answered without hesitation, "I think we can take this opportunity to destroy an important stronghold of the Free Alliance and destroy the Golden Bed!"

"In that case, you won't be able to continue to go undercover in the Free Alliance!" President said!

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "If the operation is successful, then there is no need to go undercover! Judging from the intelligence revealed by Qianning Lu, the Free Alliance only developed spies on a large scale after Ling Tuo advanced to become a demigod and half a Lord of the Taiyin! And the Free Alliance's spy management mode is a one-way connection with the Sovereign, which means that as long as we hunt down the Sovereigns of the evil camp, we can gradually find the spies lurking in the orderly organizations without needing a list! President, unless you want the list of those elders from back then!"

"But I think that the number of those elders is small. After more than a hundred years, most of them have returned to The Way of the Extraordinary or died of old age, or died in the struggle for power. Compared to that, destroying the stronghold is more important. Not only is there that Golden Bed that can distort cognition, I heard Qianning Lu say that at the Free Alliance gatherings, you can indulge your desires to the fullest. Donna is the number one beauty in New York County, so there will definitely be many Sovereign-level figures participating. When the time comes, we'll wipe out these Sovereigns and the Golden Bed in one fell swoop, and the gains will be greater!"

President listened silently and said "Oh!"

Zhang Yuanqing waited for a moment and, seeing that he had nothing more to say, asked blankly, "What does 'Oh' mean?"

"Oh means Oh. Does it mean 'Ah'?" President shrugged, "You are the future Lord of the Sun. Since you have decided, then follow your own ideas. Don't ask me about everything. What we expect from you is to be a companion, not a subordinate!"

He still needed to solicit the opinions of the sugar daddy, Zhang Yuanqing said, "Then it's settled!"

President smiled and said, "Then good night!"

The two snapped their fingers at the same time, and their figures flashed and disappeared in a burst of starlight!

The next day, at ten in the morning!

Zhang Yuanqing attended the internal meeting convened by Miss Chris to organize and formulate the action plan for the next three days!

Now, the Sages of the evil camp have suffered a great defeat, and almost all of the Peak Sages have been killed or injured. Given the current situation in New York County, the three major evil organizations have no more than three Peak Sages on the surface!

The orderly organizations want to strike while the iron is hot and carry out a cleanup operation, forcing the Sovereigns to take action by hunting down Sages.

In short, it's using Sages as bait. Whether the bait can survive depends on the strength and skill of the person holding the rod, as well as the Sages' own ability to protect themselves!

As someone who possessed two Sovereign items, Jumang became the most suitable bait on the surface!

The star divination showed that the role of Jumang was full of danger. This was part of the reason!

Zhang Yuanqing readily agreed and took the opportunity to ask Heavenly Punishment to help him find the components of the Thunder God Set as a condition of exchange, and he received Chris's approval!

Just after lunch, Zhang Yuanqing received a call from Single-Line Knight. "Bring your capable people to No. 5, Building 1, King's District, Ping Island. We're breaking into the labyrinth today!" Zhai Cai's voice was heavy with excitement!

"Roger," Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone!

Ping Island is a narrow island in the suburbs of New York County, located at the mouth of the Delson River, surrounded by many small islands of a few hundred to a few thousand square meters!

To the east, you can faintly see the famous "Statue of Liberty", and to the west is part of New York Harbor!

Ping Island is a tourist area with pleasant scenery, wide roads, cable cars, and large detached villas. There is lush vegetation, and Ping Island is not open to the public.

The detached villas on the island are for the exclusive use of the wealthy of the Free Federation for vacations, and few people live here usually!

However, there is a property company permanently stationed on the island to maintain the facilities and mansions!

Zhang Yuanqing, posing as Guan Ya, took Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Red Rooster, and All Under Heaven back to Fire to the island by yacht, and arrived at No. 5, Building 1, King's District in a shuttle bus from the property company!

From a distance, Zhang Yuanqing saw Single-Line Knight wearing a black mink coat in the sweltering heat, holding a thin cigarette in his mouth, waiting at the entrance of the villa!

When the shuttle bus stopped, Zhai Cai extinguished the cigarette butt in the trash can at the open entrance and scrutinized the people on the shuttle bus!

"Everyone's here. When do we start?" Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the point. Before coming, he had already told his teammates about the mission of this operation and introduced Zhai Cai to them.

Zhang Yuanqing's original words were: "Zhai Cai is a Sovereign, loves to wear mink coats, and his words are annoying. It's best not to provoke him, after all, he's a Sovereign!"

"First of all, thank you for your help. Some of the labyrinth's levels require the cooperation of multiple people! But I'll remind you again, the Level 4 little guys can go home! Level 5 will be life-threatening. I may not be able to guarantee your safety, because the villa you are about to enter is called Pan's Labyrinth, which is a Sovereign-level rule-based item!" Zhai Cai said, "There's still time to turn back!"

Pan's Labyrinth is an item belonging to Vinnie's grandfather. Old Burnett has been living in his villa ever since he retired from Heavenly Punishment.

It is because of this item, plus Vinnie being the granddaughter of the chief prosecutor, that even the Free Alliance doesn't dare to easily cause trouble for her.

Seeing that no one left, Zhai Cai nodded in satisfaction. "This time, we're going to sneak into Old Burnett's labyrinth to steal something. I only want the fragment, all other items, antiques, and everything of value are yours!"

Red Rooster and the others were already rubbing their hands in excitement!

"No, no!" Zhang Yuanqing corrected, "It's only the valuable things like Old Burnett's unused materials and items that we can steal!"

According to the intelligence provided by Vinnie, Old Burnett likes to use the labyrinth as a storage room, throwing all kinds of miscellaneous things into the labyrinth, regardless of whether they are valuable or not!

After all, inventory slots are limited, while the internal space of the labyrinth is practically unlimited!

Therefore, there are many treasures in the labyrinth that Old Burnett no longer needs, and of course, there are also some valuable Sovereign-quality materials. Those things cannot be touched, partly because he is worried that Old Burnett will hunt them down in anger, and partly because Lord Tianzun still has a bit of morality!

Stealing the Holy Disk Fragment is a last resort, picking up other people's unwanted trash is no problem, but Sovereign-quality things are out of the question!
