Chapter 257: Chapter 50 Pleasant Cooperation! (For Alliance Hierarch Bai, extra 3/10)_1
"Your information might have already ended up in the hands of Old Master Fang. They are likely to offer many benefits to try and woo you!"
Wen Yu fell silent once again.
Perhaps Kuangliu’s ostentatious reception for him the previous day had also been pre-arranged by Lin Haifeng.
After a while, Wen Yu chuckled.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take their benefits and then turn around and sell you out?"
Hearing this, Lin Haifeng shook his head.
"Whatever they can give you, I can give you more! What they cannot provide you, I can... for example, what you’re most concerned about now: the problem of advancing and becoming stronger. They can’t do that!"
"They are not warriors! Not soldiers! Many of them aren’t even professionists! They are just politicians, and outdated ones at that!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu nodded.
If these Aristocratic Families could offer Wen Yu huge benefits, he definitely wouldn’t refuse their goodwill. But listening to Lin Haifeng, it seemed like the things these Aristocratic Families could offer weren’t that impressive...
「 」
"I’m giving you this."
After saying that, Lin Haifeng immediately took out a beautifully packaged gift box.
Wen Yu took the box, opened it, and looked inside to find a cylindrical item.
Upon brief contact, Wen Yu already knew the item’s information.
Space Blocker (S-class, one-time consumable): Upon activation, it will create a distorted space force field within a very large radius around the user. For all professionists within this force field, their spatial-type items will become ineffective (including space rings!). Duration: 10 minutes!
Seeing Wen Yu look at him, Lin Haifeng said directly, "This item is for you. It’s to prevent anyone from using spatial-type items to escape the scene. When the banquet is underway, you decide when to activate it. Then, kill all humans within the force field. That’s it."
Upon hearing Lin Haifeng’s words, Wen Yu nodded.
This task truly wasn’t difficult for Wen Yu!
"And then what? The military piles all the blame on me?"
Of course, even if the military did that, Wen Yu wouldn’t care; he would just need to reformulate his escape route.
Lin Haifeng shook his head and replied resolutely, "Many things will happen that night. For instance, I need to clean up some remaining Aristocratic Family disciples in the military and some of their die-hard loyalists. Of course, there won’t be too many, because dead people aren’t worth being loyal to. And it’s not like I haven’t made any preparations! Once you’ve finished your task, just go back to the villa and sleep. The next day, I’ll have Kuangliu pick you up, and we can discuss our future cooperation."
"So, what high-end combat power do those guys possess?"
Lin Haifeng shook his head.
"None. The military’s high-end combat power is all in my hands. I said earlier, they are just some politicians who are out of touch with the times! Well, it’s not entirely accurate to say they have none. They control some nuclear weapons, but that doesn’t matter. After all, they can’t possibly drop nuclear weapons on their own heads. Besides, I have some countermeasures for that aspect!"
After Lin Haifeng finished, there was a long silence between them. Then, Wen Yu finally spoke.
"Why not let Kuangliu and Vermilion Bird do it? This matter should be very simple in their eyes."
"That won’t work. Kuangliu is a War God I meticulously built up. It’s not just about his strength; more importantly, he’s a kind of spiritual pillar! Kuangliu cannot be the one to carry out this task. As for Vermilion Bird, that’s even less feasible. Its existence is still a secret to most humans!"
"The reason I haven’t made a move, besides needing to make more preparations, is that I also needed a sufficiently strong powerful expert. If it weren’t for you, I had already decided to let Kuangliu go in disguise. But now, you are undoubtedly the best choice."
After hearing all this, Wen Yu thought for a long while and then extended his right hand towards Lin Haifeng.
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation!"
「 」
After the brief exchange, Wen Yu left the office with Cyclops and Star.
From behind, before Wen Yu could close the door, a crimson figure had already darted out and landed on the shoulder on the same side as the Soul Beast.
Vermilion Bird kicked the little Soul Beast with its foot. Seeing the little Soul Beast hopping about, wanting to retaliate, it immediately started chirping noisily and teased the little Soul Beast even more vigorously.
"Alright."
Looking at the rascally Vermilion Bird on his shoulder, Wen Yu gently stroked its head and said, "Why did you follow me? Are you fed up with Commander Lin and planning to hang out with me?"
Of course, this was just a joke. If Vermilion Bird really wanted to hang out with him, that would truly be a windfall!
The Vermilion Bird rolled its eyes at Wen Yu, and a Spiritual Fluctuation was directly transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind.
"Wait until you’re stronger. Right now, you’re so weak, you still want to cling to my coattails?"
After speaking, its small head lifted proudly, staring straight at the ceiling.
Then it was swatted far away by Star’s tail.
Watching the two divine beasts squabbling again, a complex look flashed through Wen Yu’s eyes.
Ever since he became a Soul Master, Wen Yu had developed a special fondness for powerful mutant creatures.
A small part was because he liked these simple, straightforward, yet powerful creatures of Earth. The larger part, however, was due to greed! One could imagine, if he had three or more divine beast-type soul pets by his side, to what extent would his strength increase? However, divine beast-types are truly rare. Vermilion Bird, being the second divine beast-type Wen Yu had encountered, one could imagine the extent of his desire for it!
Patting Star on his head, Wen Yu walked directly outside.
Vermilion Bird also landed directly on Star. Star’s tail twitched a couple of times, but it showed no sign of displeasure.
And so, a spectacular scene unfolded within the military headquarters.
A professionist, with a small black sphere floating on his shoulder, holding a dusty-gray mutt in his arms, with a lizard-like creature on his head. And on top of the lizard-like creature, stood a haughty little bird.
"This guy must run a zoo..."
"TSK TSK, I’ve seen professionists riding animals, but animals riding humans are truly rare."
"And he’s being ridden by several..."
"Isn’t that Commander Lin’s bird?"
"Seems like it. But these little animals are so cute! Look at that big lizard on his head, its eyes are so round. I’ve never seen such a big lizard before!"
I’m a dragon! A dragon!!!
These quiet murmurs naturally didn’t escape Wen Yu’s hearing, nor Star’s.
Star kept grumbling in Wen Yu’s mind about its identity. Unfortunately, Wen Yu really had no good way to explain it to these people.
Could I tell them that the creatures on my head are divine beast-types? Then these people would ask what a divine beast-type is? It’s a complete dead end! Besides, who says Star and Cyclops can’t be ridden? If I rode them, I’d probably scare you all to death!
Wen Yu rolled his eyes and quickened his pace towards the exit of the building.
「 」
Downstairs, Kuangliu had already left, but he had left a soldier waiting for Wen Yu.
After all, as the military’s War God, Kuangliu was indeed very busy. Being able to spare a day to receive Wen Yu was already giving Wen Yu a lot of face.
Upon seeing Wen Yu, the soldier saluted him and then took out a key.
"Sir, Lord God of War asked me to give you this vehicle."
Wen Yu took the key, glanced at the brand-new military Hummer nearby, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you."
"Then, goodbye."
After speaking, the soldier walked directly away, while Wen Yu looked at the Hummer in front of him and got straight into the car.
With the roar of the engine, the vehicle slowly started moving, heading towards the villa area.
