Van Persie led the Red Tiger Squad and departed in secret.
Their mission this time was clearly a top secret mission, but they did not expect General Li Lie to assign the mission in such an understated and casual manner.
Van Persie felt a heavy pressure. It was not until the moment before he received the mission and was about to depart that he was informed that everyone who participated in the mission would have to disguise themselves using super-advanced technology and would be given a fake identity that was almost flawless.
"Tang Ling? Is this kid worth so much attention? "Van Persie repeatedly read through all the information about Tang Ling on the aircraft.
Tang Ling's performance was indeed astonishing, but it was not enough for Iron-Blooded City to pay so much attention to him, was it? Why would he become the core of the mission? Why would the Red Tiger Squad be dispatched?
It was a little embarrassing to mention it because Van Persie was already a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior. Although he was the leader, he was just a leader and his position was more like a tour guide.
His strength could not be compared to the Red Tiger Squad because the minimum requirement to join the Red Tiger Squad was to be a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior.
The rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior was not a rank that any random Purple Moon Warrior could enter.
The minimum requirement was to be the best among the rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors. In other words, like the young geniuses that they had to protect, they had to be a genius rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior.
That was why Van Persie was so shocked by Tang Ling's status.
Iron-Blooded City had never valued a pre-Purple Moon Warrior so much, regardless of what kind of genius they were. Even Tang Ling's father, Tang Feng, was not worthy of Iron-Blooded City's attention when he was still a pre-Purple Moon Warrior.
What made Tang Ling so special? On top of that, Iron-Blooded City was going to build a special team that was related to the pre-Purple Moon Warrior.
Van Persie was not too sure about it either. He only heard about it after he was promoted to Li Lie's aide.
With that in mind, Li Lie continued to flip through Tang Ling's information. When he saw the top-secret information about the recent war and Tang Ling's performance, Van Persie was truly astonished.
As a soldier who was used to wars, he was not as obsessed with individual strength as the factions within the wall.
After all, individual strength could never be stronger than an army. However, Tang Ling was able to stir up trouble within the factions at such a young age and even escape. It was not an easy feat.
Every step of this was related to a brilliant plan, right?
Pak! Van Persie closed the file. This time, he muttered to himself, "Does a bastard like Tang Ling need anyone to protect him?"
"This kid will be better than Tang Feng in the future, right?"
**
Huff! Tang Ling heaved a long breath. Cultivating under the scorching sun was not an easy task, and cultivation itself was something that he had to persevere through every single day unless something earth-shattering happened.
He picked up the bucket beside him and filled it with almost half a bucket of water. Then, he jumped down from the observation tower and into the pool on the deck.
The pool water, which had been exposed to the scorching sun for so long, was already warm, but it was still able to wash away the sweat.
Tang Ling soaked himself in the pool for a few minutes before he climbed out. Higan was sitting beside the pool, quietly flipping through a book. When she saw Tang Ling, she took out a big towel and wiped the water off his body gently.
Tang Ling blushed a little. He took the towel from her and said softly, "Fatty is watching us."
Higan did not react at all. She took the towel from Tang Ling and said calmly, "I don't care about him."
Tang Ling did not say anything else. Higan had always been like this. She would never care about what others thought of her when she wanted to do something.
However, this was the true Higan.
With that in mind, Tang Ling recalled the memories between him and Higan. He smiled softly at her and caressed her hair.
It was a small action, but it made Higan blush. She lowered her head and stopped wiping Tang Ling's body.
"Pah!" Looking at the two, the fat man bitterly spat out the dried seaweed he was chewing in his mouth.
Over the past few days, Fatty had learned nothing but a favorite habit of people who spent most of their time at sea — chewing dried seaweed.
He didn't want to stay on the deck either. The sun was shining brightly at noon, and there was a pair of people showering dog food on the deck. No matter how he looked at it, it wasn't a good place to stay.
Unfortunately, the poor Fatty accidentally 'offended' West Wind today and was beaten up by West Wind. He was chased to the deck and dared not return to the cabin at this time.
"Even so! I'm also infatuated with West Wind. "Fatty glared at Tang Ling hatefully before he started to mutter to himself.
Higan was a person who did not care about other people's opinions, but Tang Ling was not as carefree as her. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw the sleazy fat man mutter to himself, so he snatched the towel from Higan and wiped himself before he lay down on the lounge chair. Higan brought a plate of vicious beast meat to Tang Ling and sat beside him.
Tang Ling simply picked up a piece of dried vicious beast meat and put it in his mouth, but he was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he looked at the sea further away and said, "The battle has started, hasn't it?"
"Yes, I've received the news. This morning, the Stardust Council launched the first attack. "Higan hugged her knees and looked at the sea further away with Tang Ling.
"I don't think they're fighting in the Poseidon family's headquarters, are they?" Tang Ling asked after he swallowed the piece of vicious beast meat in his mouth.
"Do you think it's possible?" Higan smiled and looked at Tang Ling.
Higan was really beautiful. Tang Ling was stunned when he saw the expression on Higan's face like a little girl.
For some reason, the expression made his heart race and he felt a strong sense of intimacy.
Pulling his thoughts back, Tang Ling ate a few more pieces of vicious beast meat before he said in a muffled voice, "Impossible. Based on Cyril's character, the ones who will lose in this war will only be the uncontrollable ones who drag the family down and split the family apart. As for the other things, he doesn't want to lose any of them. "
"Hmph." Higan chuckled and heaved a long breath. She said softly, "After this incident, I can roughly understand your thoughts. There's only one thing that I can't figure out. How did you think of contacting the leader of the Poseidon family? "
Indeed, just like what Eagle Eye and the others speculated, Tang Ling and Cyril had reached some kind of agreement a long time ago, hence the drama on the sea a day ago.
It was an exciting performance between Tang Ling, the little fox, and Cyril, the old fox. Both of them did not think that they could fool everyone.
However, as long as they could fool most people and achieve their strategic goal, it would be fine.
Without a doubt, the two foxes, one old and one young, had gotten what they wanted.
Tang Ling smiled at Higan's question. He closed his eyes under the sunlight and said calmly, "As a matter of fact, even if I didn't contact Cyril, he would have contacted me. From the moment I killed Omir, Cyril had his eyes on me. He allowed Dorgo and his wife to do whatever they wanted because he wanted to catch more disloyal people in the family.
"Then, he used my matter to wear them down. He knew that the Stardust Council and I have a grudge against each other, and the Stardust Council just had to go after the Poseidon family. " As he spoke, Tang Ling sat up and looked at Higan. "No, none of this is a coincidence. The Stardust Council has been eyeing the sea for a long time, and because of the conflict with Darkness Port during the resource season, they were destined to go after the Poseidon family at this point."
Higan thought about it for a while before she nodded. "If that's the case, the Stardust Council might interfere with the Poseidon family or even control them. Especially when the family isn't on good terms. "
"If I were Cyril, I'd understand that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, you and the Stardust Council are at each other's throats. Since the traitors in the family are using the Stardust Council, I'll use you to wear them down.
At a certain point, they might even form a partnership with you. "
Tang Ling looked at Higan with admiration in his eyes. "Higan, if it weren't for this voyage, I wouldn't have known how smart you are."
"Do you think you're the only smart person in the world?" Higan smiled. Her eyes shone brightly under the sunlight as she had the power to seduce one's soul.
Strangely enough, Tang Ling was not affected by the power at all. His eyes shone with pure admiration as he continued, "If you've thought it through, do you still think it's weird for me to contact Cyril? Moreover, I had control of transit station 119 back then, so I had some evidence of Dorgo's disloyalty. "
"That's why you contacted Cyril with confidence. The two of you hit it off. "Higan rested her chin on her hand and blinked." Hmm, let me think about it. Your condition should be simple. Ask him to kill the eldest of the Blood Scissors brothers so that when the eldest returns, transit station 119, which you control, won't get into any trouble.
Then, the grudge between you and the Poseidon family will be erased. Also, transfer station 119 will belong to you. Not only that, but the Poseidon family will also cover up this matter for you and provide protection for transfer station 119. "
Lastly, you'll spread the news that you can find the Starlight Nether Fish. However, the Poseidon family can't interfere and will have to protect you in the dark. "
"Hmm, that's about it." Tang Ling lay down lazily and said, "If I don't do that, I'll expose something."
Higan also leaned on Tang Ling lazily. "Yeah, if your method of controlling the Starlight Nether Fish is exposed, it'll cause a huge commotion."
Tang Ling did not say anything, but his lips curled into a smile.
There was nothing between him and Higan that was worth hiding. What else could he do to control the fishes? Of course, it was the deserted island. Tang Ling and the true owner of the deserted island, the vicious beast of an unknown level, had struck a deal that concerned his life.
Naturally, the owner of the deserted island would help Tang Ling with such a small matter.
Now that the deserted island had sunk to the bottom of the sea, wherever the aircraft carrier went, the deserted island would follow.
After all, the deserted island was fatally attractive to the Starlight Nether Fish. The attraction was no less than the attraction of the hallucinogens to addicts from the old civilization. Even if the fishes were killed, they would not leave the deserted island.
As for the reason, the owner of the deserted island only revealed one thing to Tang Ling. If the common fishes wanted to grow into a fully matured Class 9 vicious beast, the Starlight Nether Flood Dragon, the key was on the deserted island.
The owner of the deserted island did not reveal much about the details, but it did not stop Tang Ling from owning the Starlight Nether Fish.
However, he must not expose all of this in front of others! Thinking about the resources that the deserted island possessed, it would surely shock him more than the Starlight Nether Fish.
Therefore, Tang Ling did not propose a deal on the spot yesterday. Instead, he wanted to start the deal after the resource season ended.
That way, he could ask Cyril to help him split up batch after batch of fishes and start the deal without any flaws. Of course, Cyril had to be trustworthy and not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing the river.
Of course, it was not reliable to rely solely on Cyril's character. At least, before Tang Ling and Cyril got to know each other better, it would be best to follow the contract.
This world was not some magical world where there were binding contracts. Besides that, the rules of this world were messy, so one could not rely on the law to control the actions of the powerful.
However, an important contract did not mean that there was no way around it.
It was to utilize the technology of the super-advanced technology! One thing worth noting was that the super-advanced technology might be different from the old civilization's technology, but they were similar in certain aspects.
Just like how the old civilization developed computers and artificial intelligence, the super-advanced technology also had its own superbrain system.
Super technology also had its own superbrain system. If an important contract was signed on this superbrain system and certain conditions were set, then there would be no need to worry about betrayal. This was because once the conditions for betrayal were met, the superbrain system would react accordingly.
For example, the agreement between Tang Ling and Cyril was top secret. The agreement clearly stated how Cyril would use Tang Ling and involve the Stardust Council in a war with the Poseidon family. Cyril would then help Cyril eliminate the dissidents.
If both parties betrayed the contract, Cyril's punishment would be that the contract would be made public.
The Poseidon family was a family after all! Cyril knew how severe the consequences would be if the contract was made public.
As for Tang Ling, Cyril had only set one condition. If Tang Ling broke the contract, the restriction would be automatically removed and Cyril would kill Tang Ling himself.
The superbrain's ability was not to be doubted. It was even more fantastical than the artificial intelligence of the old civilization. It could monitor betrayal even though Tang Ling did not know how it worked. He only read in some books that the superbrain's control and functions were closely related to human brainwaves.
Just like how the internet in the old civilization was a double-edged sword, when one obtained information from the internet, one's personal information would also be branded on the internet.
The superbrain was the same in this aspect.
In short, that was how Tang Ling and Cyril came to an agreement.
It seemed like Tang Ling completed the contract perfectly. Not only did Cyril eliminate the dissidents, but he also acquired a huge batch of nether fish.
