Chapter 300: Chapter 228 Nationwide Mobilization_2

"Possible? So you mean, you’re not completely certain?" The Blood Emperor took note of Mu You’s cautious choice of words.

"Yes," Mu You admitted directly. No one had seen the real Arcane Tower, and even Vivian was only suspicious; before actually getting in touch with the tower, she could not entirely confirm it was fake.

His task was not to forcefully give a determined answer, but to accurately convey the information he had at hand.

"How confident are you?"

"Seventy percent!"

Mu You roughly stated this figure, then added: "As for the real Arcane Tower being inside the Sage Tower, there is no evidence for this, it’s pure speculation, or perhaps the Wizards Association hid it by other means."

"Alright, I understand."

Time was pressing, and having understood the situation, the Blood Emperor immediately hung up the call.

The others gathered around immediately.

Jiu You, who was in charge of this operation, was the first to ask: "What’s going on?"

The Blood Emperor explained concisely what had transpired on the phone call.

"The Arcane Towers are fake?"

Upon hearing this news, everyone was taken aback, feeling relieved that the call had come in time. They almost set into action just a moment ago...

However, not everyone believed in this news.

After a brief surprise, doubt followed.

"Who was the caller? What’s its level? What’s its identity? How did he know?" The first to express his doubts was President Yakov of the Russian Desert Light, level 20, one of the strongest players in Russia.

The Desert Light is an ally of the Celestial Dynasty in Russia. This operation was headed by Yakov who brought a total of thirteen advanced players from within Russia to provide support.

The reason Yakov questioned first was because the intelligence work concerning the Arcane Tower was the responsibility of his Desert Light.

Just a short time ago, his intelligence agent had used special means to investigate the situation of the Arcane Tower and guaranteed one hundred percent that it was the real Arcane Tower.

Of course, Yakov trusted his subordinate, and he passed this information on to his allies in the Celestial Dynasty, with full conviction.

Unexpectedly, just before they were to set into action, someone here voiced their doubts saying it could be a fake Arcane Tower, essentially dismissing their hard-earned intelligence. It felt like a slap in the face for Yakov and he was displeased accordingly.

"The person on the call was Mu You, Level 12, a special agent of a certain division under the ’Odd-Tuning Bureau’. As for how he knows...according to him, he used some kind of method to notice anomalies in the Arcane Tower. It’s highly probable that the tower below is fake." The Blood Emperor didn’t embellish, just told it as it was.

"What kind of joke is this? How credible could the information conveyed by a regular Level 12 player be?" Yakov derides audibly upon hearing this.

He had assumed there would be a definite conclusion, but turns out it was just a vague suspicion.

On the other hand, the one who conducted the investigation on his end was a trusted Level 17 associate, equipped with a special Hidden Relic for intelligence purposes. In all respects, whether credibility or ability, there’s simply no comparison, and he was more inclined to believe his own team’s conclusion.

"It’s not that simple. From what I know of this player, he’s very low-key and cautious. He wouldn’t make groundless claims. If he says he is 70 percent sure, it’s probably a conservative estimate. The real probability could even be higher. There’s a significant chance that this information is true." The Blood Emperor responded.

After the Blood Emperor finished speaking, Blue Beard, president of the Ice Emperor, could not help but question: "This Mu You, I have heard about him. Supposedly, he has recently performed admirably... But hasn’t he joined the ’Odd-Tuning Bureau’ recently? Do you know him well, Blood Emperor?"

"Not that well, I’ve known him for less than a month and we have only met twice..." the Blood Emperor said.

"For someone you’ve only met twice, you trust his words this much?" Blue Beard found it strange.

"I trust him," the Blood Emperor affirmed.

"Ah... this..." Blue Beard was at a loss for words. The trust the Blood Emperor showed for this individual made him feel somewhat baffled.

At this moment, Canghai, the vice president of the Commerce League, stepped in to mediate: "President Yakov, don’t be hasty. We in the Celestial Dynasty have an old saying: ’Better to believe that it is, than to believe that it isn’t’. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, as soon as this possibility has been presented, we should all pay attention to it."

"Then what do you think we should do? Are we really going to abandon our operation just because of a piece of unverifiable information?" Yakov was not happy. He believed this kind of indecisiveness before a battle was a grave mistake. Unfortunately, he was not the final decision-maker here. The operation was after all, primarily led by the players from the Celestial Dynasty.

Everyone looked at each other, also unsure about what to do, and eventually turned their attention to one person in the hall.

Jiu You, the decision-maker of the Dragon Group, one of only two players on the scene who had advanced to the epic level by consuming 25 bottles of the Evolution Elixir—the other person was Blue Beard of the Ice Emperor.

As the person in charge of this operation, only Jiu You had the authority to make final decisions when faced with such severe disagreements.

"Jiu God, what do you think? Should we postpone the operation and investigate the situation before making a decision?" Canghai proposed to Jiu You.

"No."

Jiu You immediately shook his head in response: "This kind of thing can’t be clandestinely investigated. The only way to confirm it is to directly attack the Arcane Tower and watch for a response. But such an action will inevitably alert the Wizard Association. Plus, the mobilization of troops has finished, tasks for a large number of mid-level players have already been assigned, the gate has already been opened, the arrow has been drawn on the bow, and it’s impossible not to shoot."
