Chapter 684: The entire Global Center has Sister Lan’s acquaintances [2nd update]

The forces at the Global Center are many and varied. From an outsider’s perspective, and even to the locals, it is a complex web of intertwined connections.

The Heaven-reaching Tower is undoubtedly the ruler of the Global Center, and no one dares to defy its will.

Because the orders issued by the Heaven-reaching Tower are divine decrees that must be carried out.

Some have disobeyed these orders and received punishment from the heavens even before the Heaven-reaching Tower itself took action.

Beneath the Heaven-reaching Tower are the Four Major Families of the Global Center —

The Si Family, the Constant Family, the Rubinstein Family, and the most mysterious Neptune Family.

The latter is not a family name, but a family emblem - a trident.

Because of the secrecy of the family, no one has ever seen its members in public, and only those who can ascend the Heaven-reaching Tower to participate in the Roundtable Conference can confirm the existence of the Neptune Family.

Among these four families, the strongest is undoubtedly the Neptune Family, as even the other three families know nothing about its inner workings.

The Si Family ranks second, owing to its deep-rooted legacy originating from Shenzhou.

On the surface, the four families coexist peacefully, holding the balance of power.

In reality, the Heaven-reaching Tower maintains this balance among the four, preventing any one family from becoming too dominant.

Apart from these four families, the World’s First Bank, the International Strategy Research Center, the World Cultural Heritage Center, Shenzhou University, and the Wanguo Group are also significant forces that stand on equal footing.

The Supernatural Affairs Office, due to the special nature of the cases it deals with, is not counted among these ranks.

But it would be a grave mistake to underestimate the Supernatural Affairs Office’s power due to this.

The only force capable of handling S-Class incidents immediately, besides the Heaven-reaching Tower itself, is the Supernatural Affairs Office.

Clearly, this group is a rare gathering place, bringing together core figures from various powers at the Global Center.

Before the group was established, the members hadn’t yet revealed their talents.

Seven years have passed, and each has achieved success in their respective fields.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: ???

[Crazy Scientist]: Sister YN, think carefully! The waters run deep around Si Family, we probably won’t stand a chance. I’ll first see what equipment I can use.

[Cultured Person]: I have no combat skills; I can only help you write speeches.

[World’s Richest]: Then I’ll contribute money; I’m so poor I only have money left.

[Deadly Poison Master]: Hmm, I seem to be the most capable of becoming Sister YN’s right-hand person!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: What will I do? I don’t interact with people, and I have no means of attacking them. I can’t just release the criminals locked up at my workplace, right?

[Deadly Poison Master]: I think it’s doable, it’s a good strategy. But we still need to discuss battle plans.

Seeing the group seriously start discussing how to bring down the Si Family, Ye Wanlan was silent.

She typed a line in the chatbox without much expression.

[YN]: @Shenzhou University Gate Security, did I say something that gave you this illusion?

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: It’s not an illusion! You were in Jiangcheng, and the Five Major Families in Jiangcheng changed. You went to Yunjing, and the Su and Huo families changed too. You’ve now arrived at the Global Center; surely a family will change!

[World’s Richest]: Very reasonable, Sister YN might remain quiet, but once she acts, it’s astonishing.

[Cultured Person]: Sister YN lost four years compared to us, yet she remains as graceful as ever. Give her four more years, and even the Sky Tower Master will have to step down!

[YN]: I haven’t currently thought about moving against the Si Family.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Did you see the "currently"? It means you’re thinking about it! Oh, I’ll also consider what I can do.

Before establishing this group, the members were scattered all over the globe with no interaction.

But under Ye Wanlan’s guidance, these once-strangers came together, gradually becoming friends willing to face life and death together.

If one person thinks of doing something, the others will start brainstorming.

They are always cooperative, mad enough, ruthless enough, and have the strength to destroy anyone who seeks their destruction.

Ye Wanlan rubbed her brows.

[YN]: As long as the Si Family doesn’t harm my family and friends, and poses no threat to Shenzhou, why should I move against the Si Family?

These two things are her eternal bottom line, allowing no one to violate them.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: That’s uncertain; I’ll prepare just in case. Who knows, maybe someday if you don’t move against the Si Family, you’ll go directly for the Heaven-reaching Tower?

Everyone: "..."

With Ye Wanlan’s temperament, she could really do it!

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow.

[YN]: I’m definitely going to move against the Heaven-reaching Tower, just their attempt to murder Little Keli last time is enough.

Seeing this, Kristin’s heart stirred.

After her mother’s death, she had never felt any familial affection.

Being accustomed to being alone, with few friends, she started looking for friends online.

Unexpectedly, she made genuine friends.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Indeed, let’s do it! What about the Heaven-reaching Tower? As long as Sister YN orders, we’d surely follow.

Ye Wanlan’s heart warmed.

Attacking the Heaven-reaching Tower was something others would find incredibly unbelievable, likely losing their lives.

Yet her friends remained unwavering.

That was enough.

She would first protect them.

Ye Wanlan put away her phone and continued touring with other classmates at Shenzhou University.

Shenzhou University is vast, divided into study, entertainment, leisure, office, and the most bustling battle areas.

In the battle area, there are not only physical combats but also weapon clashes.

"Wanlan, look!" a girl exclaimed excitedly, "Laser weapons, I heard these are works of the weapon department at Shenzhou University. Most students from this department end up working at the International Strategy Research Center."

However, after saying this, there was no response.

The girl was stunned, turned her head, and found the person next to her was gone, shouting loudly, "Wanlan? Has anyone seen Wanlan?"

How could a living person just disappear into thin air in an instant?!

When Ye Wanlan realized something was wrong with her surroundings, she was already trapped in another space.

The space was pitch black, devoid of any light, frightfully quiet, only her own heartbeat audible.

"Haha..." a low chuckle sounded at this moment, "Amazing, you’ve not only escaped the time loop and became a Time Escapee but even managed to kill a punisher, empowering yourself beyond before."

Ye Wanlan’s expression changed abruptly.

"However, with me in control, you have no chance." The laughter turned sharp, "Die here!"

"Boom!"
