You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 679 - 298: You Sold Me, but Still Want a Share of the Money?
"Does anyone have a solution?"
Nick's gaze swept across the audience. In the virtual meeting room, all the intelligence department heads exchanged glances, clearly, no one had a solution.
"This is likely to be very difficult."
"Yes, the Source Blood Association, which had originally been deeply rooted in the Dongji Kingdom, has now suffered a severe blow. The Wise Knight Gavin has fallen in battle, and many peripheral organizations have been eradicated by Ye Qingzhou. Many pieces of intelligence from the Dongji Kingdom are now difficult to convey."
"What about the head of the Source Blood Association?"
"This..."
"Smith also died in the Fashion Capital. Now the entire Source Blood Association is on the brink of collapse."
Clearly, the top ranks of the Source Blood Association have almost been annihilated. Those remaining are either insufficiently experienced or lack the prestige needed to consolidate this massive multinational organization. The entire organization has fallen into chaos.
Nick listened, feeling a headache coming on, even his left eye, which was blinded, started to throb faintly.
Just when everyone was frowning in worry, a new communication request was received in the virtual meeting room, and a figure appeared in the once-empty seat that had belonged to the absent Source Blood Association.
This figure was cloaked, wrapped in bandages, with flesh anomalously exposed, crimson tendrils writhing like small tentacles, causing revulsion.
"The forces of the Source Blood Association will be taken over by us, Kabbalah, in the future."
The hoarse voice spread through the internet, piercing everyone's eardrums like a sharp awl, reaching deep into their hearts, engraving deep fear and unease.
"Kabbalah!"
"The Life Divine Tree!"
"Damn it, it's the Plague Messenger!"
Even across the screen, everyone adopted an evasive posture. Even the Director of the Divine Sword Bureau, One-Eyed Nick, normally maintaining a facade of composure, wore a grim expression: "What do you want?"
Kabbalah, in mythological tales, Eden's Tree of Life, plucked by God Himself, represented the only path to the Divine Kingdom—the path of life's evolution.
However, the one in charge of this tree was an existence that was chilling—one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse in the Revelation, the Plague Knight!
"Why do you fear the plague and mutations? Humanity itself is the result of the Ancient Human Race eating the Wise Fruit, contracting a plague, and having mutated brains. This is the glorious path of evolution, and even a small sacrifice is a price worth paying."
The Plague Messenger grinned.
Revealing rows of sharp shark-like teeth, snake-like tongue flicking between them.
"A small sacrifice? The price you're referring to is the extinction of ninety-nine percent of Blue Star's population?"
Nick's already dark expression turned even darker upon hearing this. His remaining eye showed a vigilant look, fixed on the Plague Messenger.
But the other party merely laughed indifferently: "Don't worry, before the apocalypse's horn sounds, we won't take action. This time, we're here just to help you solve your problems."
"Do you have a way to deal with Ye Qingzhou?"
Nick did not trust the Plague Messenger. Although the Western World's camp seemed vast, each party actually harbored its own agendas, unable to work in complete unity.
Even the Divine Sword Bureau and the Judgement Sanctuary, known for their extreme actions, felt that the ideas of those who followed the Four Knights of the Apocalypse were too extreme.
For the sake of their beliefs, they might even go as far as to destroy the world.
However, this time, the Plague Messenger wasn't here to spread an apocalypse virus; his target, like Nick and others, was Ye Qingzhou.
"This year's World Martial Arts Championship will be held in Japan. By then, our Kabbalah members will personally deal with Ye Qingzhou. You just need to provide the necessary assistance in intelligence."
Nick knew the Plague Knight's followers, the Plague Sect, were a bunch of madmen, and their so-called 'capture operation' would surely be very crazy, perhaps harming the innocent.
But since the location is in Japan, Nick naturally had no objections: "Sure, but if anything happens, you'll need to notify us in advance so we can arrange for the local garrison to evacuate."
"Gah gah gah~"
The Plague Messenger's hoarse laughter echoed in the meeting room: "Don't worry, it won't cause too much trouble."
"Hmph, I hope so."
Nick wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark in the Plague Messenger's promises.
This group of lunatics viewed human life as worthless, and it was unknown what kind of atrocities they might commit in Japan this time. Nick even worried whether the local Western Pole Kingdom garrison would be affected.
......
In the nation, the changes on the Five Hundred Strong list also triggered an earthquake.
The Martial Arts World of the Dongji Kingdom was in an uproar, and the 'World Martial Arts Discussion' immediately kicked Ye Qingzhou off the Hidden Dragon List.
After all, calling a Martial Arts Grandmaster a 'Hidden Dragon' seemed somewhat disrespectful.
Linjiang City, Linjiang Commerce Association's Chairman Zheng Zhiguang was all smiles all day after seeing the news. The investment made in Ye Qingzhou had now reaped unimaginable excess returns!
With the protection of a Grandmaster, Linjiang Commerce Association's business evidently was enough to move out of Xiang Province and enter the national market!
What's more, Ye Qingzhou was still so young.
An eighteen-year-old Grandmaster, such outstanding talent, becoming a Martial Saint in the future seemed merely a matter of time.
In the office, Zheng Shuyi looked frustrated, thinking that if she had worked a little harder then, she might have soared to success. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
And Zheng Zhiguang's nephew Yun Yan, at this moment, was also filled with emotion and sighs.
