Three days later,
The capital,
The headquarters of the Truth-seeking Society,
"... that's what happened. Because we were changing shifts to carry out surveillance missions, when we were discovered by the other party, I was lucky enough to escape with my life."
Fatty Ding sat at the conference room table and looked at the four people sitting around the room waiting for an explanation. He said, "President..."
"It's really not that we weren't careful enough, but that Yinggou was indeed very strange. When we were monitoring him, we were even hundreds of meters away. We only used binoculars to roughly observe his every move, but that terrifying guy still discovered us."
"After that, it was time to change shifts..."
As he spoke..,
He even reached out his hand to cover his head with a face full of fear, he said,
"I … I only saw Old Li's broken body …"
"It seems that..." the burly middle-aged man sitting in the room was the president of the Truth-seeking Society, who had just joined the ten leaders and participated in the meeting at the company's headquarters.
"It's very likely that Yinggou has already learned about us from Old Li..."
"Old Ding, did that all-purpose demon really not discover you? Even if you changed shifts to carry out surveillance missions, the place you used to rest shouldn't be too far away..."
"Since he could intuitively discover that someone was using binoculars to monitor him from hundreds of meters away, there seems to be no reason for him not to know that you would change shifts..."
"After all, this Yinggou was once an employee of the company. No one knows how much he has done for the company in secret. He might be more familiar with this matter than us..."
"I've been asking you for a few days. Even if I haven't told you clearly, I've asked you to recall the situation several times. Don't you understand at all... why?"
"Now..."
"Old Ding, it's not just me, the president. A few elders are also here. Don't you want to tell me... why did that Yinggou let you go?"
"I don't know..." Fatty Ding still covered his head with his hand with a face full of fear. He looked as if he was recalling some terrifying thing.
"Xiao Huang... President Huang, I don't know... I really don't know..."
Seeing this..,
President Huang could not help but slowly frown. Then, he turned to look at the other three people present and said, "What do you think of this matter?"
The other three people present were the current sect leaders of the Nature Sect, the Yellow Sect, and the One Stream. It could also be said that they had merged with the Yan Wutang to form the Truth-seeking Society. They had given up their identities as sect leaders and became the three spokesmen of the Truth-seeking Society.
Hearing this,
"Little Huang, isn't it obvious …" An old man in green clothes, glasses, and a mole on the left side of his face said, "Little Huang, isn't it obvious …"
"Now, no matter if it's because of Xiao Ding or the dead Xiao Li, that demon must have found out about us …"
At this point,
The old man looked up at Fatty Ding, who seemed to be a good-for-nothing, and said,
"If what you said back then was true, then that Sorcerer really did have the terrifying strength to defeat Lu Jin in one move. Maybe he also has some strange power that we can't understand …"
"They only discovered the watchers who were hundreds of meters away, but didn't discover the people who were changing shifts at a relatively short distance away. The possibility of this is really low in my opinion …"
"The reason Old Ding was able to escape …" Another speaker, who was about the same age as President Huang, couldn't help but nod after hearing the old man's words. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "The reason why Old Ding was able to escape …"
He slowly said, "This is either because he has already made contact with that Sorcerer that we don't know about, or that Sorcerer deliberately put a smokescreen back for our Truth-seeking Association. He has other intentions … I'm afraid it's certain."
"Everyone …" President Huang looked at Fatty Ding with a complicated gaze. After all, the two people he sent out were from his Yan Wu Hall.
"How do you think I should deal with Old Ding's problem …"
"Little Huang …" The old man with the middle-parted glasses reminded him.
"Now is the most critical time for our Truth-seeking Association. You have just been allowed to join the ten leaders by the company, so you don't have any say in the ten leaders …"
"You want to use Yinggou as an opportunity to gain the trust of the company's leaders in order to gain some authority among the Ten Greats. I can understand why you're doing this …"
"But … you're too impulsive and anxious."
"A young man can actually rely on his own strength to threaten all the important people in the circle, including the company. He even defeated an old fellow like Lu Jin in one move …"
"Like this kind of inexplicable guy …"
At this point,
The old man could not help but frown slightly and say,
"Little Huang, in the face of such a terrifying all-purpose Sorcerer, you let your own members of the Truth-seeking Association take the initiative to provoke him when no one else was willing to act rashly. This … really shouldn't have been done."
"What if the other party is planning the next step of the plan and is considering who to target next? We are both members of the ten leaders, but we haven't really gained a firm foothold in the ten leaders … Wouldn't this give him a reason to attack the Truth-seeking Association?"
"I was indeed too impulsive …" President Huang immediately clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. Then, he said to himself in disdain,
"What do you think we should do next?"
Hearing this,
The old man with the middle-parted glasses looked at the other two and then at the useless Fatty Ding. A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said calmly,
"Little Huang, your actions were indeed too impulsive, but in the situation at the company's headquarters, the goal of this behavior might have been achieved. At least in the eyes of the company's leaders … We have already established a positive image of being willing to solve the company's problems."
"If those all-purpose Sorcerers really take action against our Truth-seeking Association, asking for help from the company will naturally receive the corresponding support …"
"This can be considered a lucky hit …"
"Therefore, as long as we can survive the upcoming chaos and not have our foundation destroyed by those all-purpose Sorcerers in the chaos, then in the future, among the ten leaders … there will definitely be a place for our Truth-seeking Association."
As he said that,
The old man looked at Fatty Ding, who was already beginning to show signs of nervousness, and said,
"As for Little Ding …"
"I think we should deal with him internally. After all, he is a person who has brought a lot of risk to the Truth-seeking Association. He is also a member who has most likely betrayed the Truth-seeking Association. However, he is still a member of your Yan Wu Hall. As for how to deal with him … you can decide for yourself."
Hearing this,
Fatty Ding's heart skipped a beat. Then, he looked at President Huang as if he was pleading,
"President, I … I really didn't let everyone down. You … please believe me …"
However..,
Before Fatty Ding could finish his sentence..,
Knock knock knock..
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door of the meeting room …
