Chapter 270: Chapter 145 ’Justice’_2

"Paths of necessity, that’s all."

Fu Jian said dismissively:

"In my early years, I too was naive, but I soon discovered the cost of naivety was bloody internal strife and the fall of cities and fortresses."

"However, I don’t want you to change your opinion of me. My stance on protecting humanity will not waver."

"I know."

"What do you think then?" Fu Jian pressed, "Does this make you despise the human faction?"

Wang Jixuan: ...

He really wanted to say that he was already one hundred and twenty-six years old, not underage.

"I don’t particularly like this kind of thing, but I’m not entirely against it either because it has no direct relation to me."

"Since your faction came to power, both vertical and horizontal comparisons show that you’ve led humanity into a better era."

"I’m just doing what you asked me to do. You just need to take care of the payment afterward, and that’s enough for me."

"That’s good."

Fu Jian sighed softly:

"Do you have any opinions on the next course of action?"

"Why not just kill them directly?"

"Killing them directly would lead to all sorts of troubles afterwards, their faction would have to be cleaned up, suppressed, and it could trigger internal turmoil."

"So what are you planning to do?"

"Right now, my initial thought is to stage it as an assassination initiated by Spiritual Ability City."

Fu Jian spoke calmly:

"Under the pretext of Spiritual Ability City retaliating against D5, dispose of these two individuals.

"I can arrange for Spiritual Ability Users from the Nature Faction to carry out this task."

"This way, both of them can keep some dignity, and it won’t involve their families or subordinates who haven’t been influenced."

"Neither of these two are half-human mechas, and one of them is a handsome talent I greatly admire."

"Conveniently, we’re currently lacking a reason to continue pressuring Spiritual Ability City. This assassination could further unite our internal forces."

"Good idea."

Wang Jixuan appreciated the plan in his heart.

As expected of the Devil Commander;

If his heart weren’t dirty enough, he really couldn’t outplay those bastards.

The conversation took a turn as Fu Jian said: "However, this plan carries certain risks. I’ll need your help with more... Since you can search the memories of twelve individuals in two hours, how about one hundred and twenty? It could be done within a day."

"Me!"

Wang Jixuan almost cursed out loud:

"Don’t I need to rest? Don’t I need to recover? I’m already tired as it is. Without three General Level Blade Beast Crystal Cores, it’s hard for me to get spirited!"

"One General Level Blade Beast Crystal Core for every ten people checked."

"No installments?"

"No installments."

"Then that’s okay," Wang Jixuan replied leisurely, "but I only work three hours a day, and you need to provide me with crystal cores every day. Also, there’s one more thing I need your help arranging."

"What is it?"

"Isn’t it a play later to shatter the crystal core? Can you deal with the Blade Beast Souls inside? Obviously, you can’t. Leave this task to me personally."

Wang Jixuan emphasized:

"I’m doing this to protect you."

"Yes, Wang Zheng, you are of noble character and are certainly not coveting the spiritual energy released when the crystal core shatters."

Fu Jian pondered for a moment:

"At that time, you don’t have to show up. I will arrange it for you. You just need to be close by."

Wang Jixuan’s heart warmed up instantly.

This Xiao Fu really knows how to wheel and deal!

Next, he just needed to make some preparations, open up the meridians, stimulate the bones, and he might be able to break through the Late-stage True Return Realm in one go!

"All right, let’s leave it at that for now. Keep an eye on Xing Dian too. According to the intelligence I received, that guy could act out at any moment."

After hanging up, Fu Jian was stunned for a few seconds.

He carefully considered and felt like he might have been shortchanged, but then he thought maybe not.

He glanced at the two documents placed on the desktop fragments...

Spiritual Power Weapons, human souls controlling sub-king level blade beasts...

How could that possibly be a bad deal?

Give whatever is asked for, perhaps in a few years, they could even counterattack the blade beasts, right?

Who can be sure?

On the other hand.

Wang Jixuan had already returned the finger to Mu Dan and was back in the workspace where Ms. Wan and Lingtong were.

This was Lingtong Team’s station at the General Command Center, occupying more than a hundred square meters, filled with various instruments. Usually, a dozen logistics personnel clocked in on time. Now, Ms. Wan had sent them away in advance.

Otherwise, these guys who were extremely familiar with Uncle Tai would chat with Wang Jixuan for a bit, and he would give himself away.

"Can’t we go back immediately now?" Lingtong was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm," Wang Jixuan responded softly, "Lao Fu wants me to search more than a hundred people."

Ms. Wan also said: "There might be other spies here. The infiltration of the headquarters is too severe. When two out of twelve top generals have problems, I can’t even imagine the others."

"Well, Lao Fu’s offer is quite generous."

Wang Jixuan thought for a while:

"Later I’ll stay at Ms. Wan’s place, Ms. Wan will make do in the lab for a few days, and please remind Uncle Tai not to show up for the next few days.

"I should be able to finish the job in about a week, just in time for the crystal core shattering event where I can swoop in for resources.

"Lingtong, get those materials for me, I’ll start refining as soon as possible. This type of refining requires nurturing, no need for a furnace."

But Lingtong said: "This still seems a bit reckless. As soon as we came here, the Command Center caught spies, we’re bound to be watched by others."

"It was the Commander’s decision."

"Let me go explain a few things..."

"Hey, no need," Daoist Wang quickly grabbed Lingtong’s arm, saying earnestly, "As the saying goes, fortune comes with risk, I just need to be a bit more cautious afterward. Mu Dan will stay with you for the next few days... just listen to me this time."

Lingtong locked gazes with him for a few seconds, then nodded gently: "Then I’ll go back and prepare some combat equipment."
