Chapter 768: 186. Miaomiao: Is the Devil Sect an Empty Shell? (9000 words, asking for monthly pass)_2
“Bones?” Miaomiao leaned in, looking at the symbol that looked nothing like bones, curiously said, “I can’t tell.”
Fang Ze looked at her and said expressionlessly, “Because… this is a piece of pinky bone.”
Having said that, Fang Ze silently added to himself in his heart, ‘Moreover… it’s a pinky bone that I have seen before.’
Indeed, this was the pinky bone that Director Pang had shown to Fang Ze when he demonstrated his ability “Dry Bones” on the rooftop that day.
It was precisely because Fang Ze discovered that Director Pang’s appearance was not his True Body, but merely a bone, that Fang Ze ultimately chose to cooperate with Director Pang and became a double agent. (Chapter 81)
This was the true beginning of Fang Ze’s life in this world, so he would always remember this pinky bone.
And now it seemed, Director Pang remembered it as well…
Thinking of this, Fang Ze also understood who the messenger was.
‘So it’s that old fox…’
‘If it’s him, then it makes sense.’
Fang Ze knew that Director Pang, as the mastermind behind the “impersonating an Investigator” plan, was the person who knew him best in this world, and he also precisely knew the relationship between Miaomiao and Fang Ze.
Under such circumstances, it wasn’t surprising that he could guess the connection between the Devil Sect and Fang Ze.
And since he knew about the relationship between the Devil Sect and Fang Ze, then obviously the Rejuvenation Society would know as well. freewebnσvel.cøm
‘So, is the Rejuvenation Society the one that’s going to make a move on me?’
Thinking of this, Fang Ze felt like all the pieces were beginning to connect.
The Pang Men knew about the relationship between the Devil Sect and him, probably having reported it to the Rejuvenation Society, and originally, his close cooperation with the Rejuvenation Society, with mutual knowledge of each other’s secrets, wasn’t a problem. However, Fang Ze had recently made a move against the spies that Dahei Garo had planted in the Xida State Council.
These spies were much more important to the Rejuvenation Society than Dahei Garo, so it’s very likely that Dahei Garo, enraged and disgraced, ordered the Rejuvenation Society to retaliate against Fang Ze’s side.
And based on Fang Ze’s encounters with Director Pang, this man had secrets, deep secrets. He seemed to be particularly interested in the truth about the disaster fifty years ago and wasn’t very loyal to the Rejuvenation Society.
Therefore, knowing that the Rejuvenation Society was going to act against him, he sold Fang Ze a favor and quietly passed on the message.
Having thought this through and clarified everything, Fang Ze also had a plan in mind.
Dahei Garo didn’t have the Rejuvenation Society directly take action against him, which clearly showed their limited strength. Fang Ze remembered that the highest leader of the Rejuvenation Society was a Chairman, followed by thirteen Saints.
The Chairman’s strength was unknown to Fang Ze, but the Saints were only of the Yang Transformation phase, and it seemed they were in the early to middle stages of that phase.
And Fang Ze’s Devil Sect currently had overt strength of only a high-level Awakener, so even if the Rejuvenation Society was conservative, at most they would send two or three Saints and a bunch of minions, not risking the Chairman coming personally.
In that case…
It seemed he only needed to dispatch Sima Liu to take command, and then allow Jiang Cheng in his capacity as the First Commissioner of Emerald City to mobilize the elite of the Security Bureau’s Executive Commissioners and the federal Defense Team to handle it.
Having thought of this, Fang Ze felt reassured.
As for why he let Jiang Cheng take charge instead of Bai Zhi…
It was because Fang Ze felt that the matters of the Devil Sect were secretive and taboo; he didn’t want Bai Zhi entangled in them.
As for whether Director Pang might feed Fang Ze false information or, as Zhixi worried, was deliberately luring the snake out of its hole, Fang Ze thought it unlikely.
First, he understood Director Pang’s personality and modus operandi. Director Pang didn’t value the Rejuvenation Society so highly, and as Fang Ze was now flourishing, he could provide greater benefits; for the Rejuvenation Society’s sake, betraying Fang Ze wasn’t a losing trade that Director Pang would make.
Second, even if Fang Ze really misjudged the situation, the arrangement of Sima Liu + Jiang Cheng would be enough to suppress any unforeseen incidents.
Third, no matter how things turned out, as a secret organization, the Devil Sect, now that it had been exposed to other forces, should temporarily leave Xida State and lay low instead of confronting them head-on. Otherwise, it would only be increasingly dangerous.
As for where the Devil Sect would go next, Fang Ze had already decided: Yunlan State.
Even if Sima Liu was a fringe figure in the Ma Family, he was still on the fringes of the family’s high-level figures, and in the whole Yunlan State, he was someone whose stomp could shake things up three times over.
Additionally, with the domineering presence and influence of the Ma Family in Yunlan State, and the weaker stance of the federal Commoner Faction, Fang Ze felt with Sima Liu’s protection, the Devil Sect could achieve rapid development there!
Moreover, don’t forget that Fang Ze was currently still an enemy of the Ma Family. Sending the Devil Sect to Yunlan State, planting a sharp dagger in the enemy’s belly— who knows, it might have a surprising effect in the future!
With this in mind and having made a decision, Fang Ze came back to his senses, looked at Miaomiao, and then said, “Alright, I’ve got this. You go back and prepare for evacuation to other states.”
“I’ll handle the rest.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Miaomiao was surprised for a moment, clearly not expecting Fang Ze’s final decision would be to arrange their evacuation to other states.
It wasn’t that she thought this was too cowardly; she was simple-minded but not foolish, and understood the importance of the issue. She was just reluctant to leave this place that had nurtured her and the people here.
With that thought, she couldn’t help but glance at Fang Ze, only to find that her view of his expression was obscured by the Green Wood Mask, making it indistinguishable, so she hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head.
