Chapter 1005 - 999 Shen Manjun Makes a Phone Call
Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Rose suddenly thought of yesterday’s encounter at the Han Family, and with a slight sigh, she said, "Lin Demon, I was being too naive. I originally thought that as long as we kept increasing Yama Palace’s influence and absorbed people from major powers to join us, we would have the strength to compete with the prominent families. But after what I saw yesterday at the Han Family, I realized we’ve been taking a path that’s too singular, with too few elite fighters. Merely expanding our influence without high-caliber fighters to back us up means we can never match those prominent families. No matter how big we make Yama Palace, it will always just be a paper tiger, crumbling at the first encounter. So, I plan to change our future development strategy."
Lin Yafei was slightly taken aback, "What strategy?"
"We must advance side by side. Not only do we need to enhance our power, but we also need to recruit a bunch of elite fighters to serve us," Rose said decisively.
"Sister Mei Gui, are you planning to recruit elite fighters?"
Before Lin Yafei could speak, Mandala had already chimed in, "Sister Mei Gui, I’m not trying to discourage you, but in this world, it’s always the strong who are revered. If you want to recruit elite fighters, it might not be feasible. Although my brother can help, he’s just one person and can’t cover all aspects. Moreover, as Yama Palace’s influence expands step by step, it will inevitably attract attention from some major powerhouses. By then, if the other party intentionally sends elite fighters to infiltrate us and dismantle our forces from within, what will we do? Even the most stringent screening won’t work since every major power has elite fighters unknown to others, and forging an identity isn’t that difficult."
Bai Zhiqing, although silent, nodded in agreement. External enemies aren’t frightening; what’s truly terrifying are the insiders. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by ant nests. The most fearsome enemies are those from inside because, as the saying goes, to catch bandits, first capture their leader. If someone captures Rose and Lin Yafei, it’s safe to say Yama Palace would collapse without a fight.
"Manman, you’re right, but I’ve already come up with a solution, which needs your help," Rose said with a smile.
Mandala was slightly surprised, "You want me to help?"
"Yes, that’s right, I need your help."
Rose looked at Mandala and began to speak slowly, "Manman, have you ever read The Smiling Proud Wanderer? Do you know about the Three Corpses Brain God Pill poison? I hope you can concoct a similar poison, preferably using Gu Worms as the main ingredient, with the drug suppressing the eruption time of the Gu Worms. The poison would require an antidote at each specific time; otherwise, the Gu Worm would explode from the body, devouring the host. If you, Manman, can develop this kind of poison, creating an elite fighter team in a short period would not be difficult."
