Chapter 580 - 491 All lies_2
"So, other than the five of you, everyone else in the National Defense Bureau is from other planets?" Yu Bo said with envy as he glanced at Xin Tianyang.
"Yes, but the National Defense Bureau is dominated by us," Duge said, giving him a look, "My key phrase is ’influence.’ The skill I’ve awakened is ’subtle manipulation,’ which allows me to influence others unknowingly, making them act to our rhythm without their awareness.
Right now, the people of Green Star think we’ll help them with all our might against the Xil civilization, while the alien warriors from other planets believe that Duge is behind us, giving them a fair chance. No one suspects anything is wrong..."
"Then why aren’t you leading the situation?" Yu Bo said, carefully looking at Duge.
"If I were in charge, it would be very likely that any key phrases related to awareness would uncover the abnormality. But with Xu Wan in the front, they would think that everyone is controlled by Duge. Even if they detect something unusual, they wouldn’t suspect us."
Duge said, "Last time, we suffered a setback in New Goldflower City. This time, joining the Seventh Group Army is to contact more of our people and gain complete initiative."
"Why didn’t you come to us at the beginning instead of attacking New Goldflower City?" Yu Bo asked.
"If we directly came to you, with the people of Lanchen Star gathered together and the backing of Green Star, we would have been universally attacked," Duge explained. "However, we first caused chaos in New Goldflower City, forced the people from Qiyuan Star to come out, and drew the attention of others. Then coming to you was less conspicuous."
Clever talk!
Xu Wan sneered internally; for a moment, she almost believed Duge’s words were true, even thinking he truly had awakened the skill of subtle manipulation. However, Duge’s abilities had always been unrelated to control, and she had her own thoughts all along, so this subtle manipulation was utterly bogus.
