Chapter 467 - 466
The plot seems all too familiar. Ye Tian raised his eyebrows, "The accident this time couldn’t possibly be orchestrated by a single hand as well, right? Messing up one’s own plan and then taking the opportunity to take over?"
"What you said is only partially correct, but what you’re saying is exactly what I was thinking. Those troublemakers were brought in by me, and they did a pretty neat job. But just like you told me before, it always feels like we are just acting, right? That’s correct, this is all an act. But I’m not the director. Do you know who is?" He was about to keep Ye Tian guessing but, seeing Ye Tian’s wide-open eyes, he swallowed the words he was about to say, "Actually, it’s the very person we want to take down."
"Jenny’s dad?"
"Right. Her dad. In fact, it was his idea that he shared with me, then sent me directly to carry it out. After consulting with the family, they just told me to follow the plan. Do you remember what I told you about what the U.S. military is studying? All that stuff about Huaxia’s ’The Book of Changes’ and Bagua, I’m here this time to find those things."
"Don’t tell me this Jade Seal is what you’re looking for."
Ye Tian picked up a photo from the table and said.
"That’s just one of them. This thing isn’t a Jade Seal, it’s called the Ghost Seal. Legend has it that it’s used to connect Hell with the Human World. It also grants greater power to whoever wields it. But there’s a problem—if the holder of the Seal is not strong enough or if their constitution and mind are weak, they will be devoured by the Ghost Seal and die. The U.S. military is actively collecting these legendary artifacts with Spiritual Power from around the world, in order to extract the power within and change the physical nature of their Super Soldiers. Thus, they aim to create defensive forces beyond traditional military power. This is their plan, and it’s also the current focus of the Mercenary team. There’s one more thing I should remind you of—the mystical Eastern country is a major target of their attention, especially Huaxia. They’re already arranging for various foreign-funded enterprises to acquire valuable antiques and then bring them back home for research."
Until he finished speaking, Ye Tian was still looking at him coldly, "You actually believe this crap? When you were a mischievous kid, your mom used to tell you that troublemaking children would be taken away by demons, but I never saw you listen to her then."
Chu Tianying didn’t argue, but extended his finger and produced a blue flame and said, "Then how do you explain this?"
