Chapter 714: Chapter 693: Ho Invasion
The main characters at the banquet were notable figures of the Demon Worship Sect from various countries, while Wang Gu seed more like a high-end server.
Nobody paid attention, Zhou Leng leisurely contemplated the martial heart in his mind.
Zhao Dongjun once said that everyone actually has a martial heart, but not everyone can clearly ’identify’ it.
Many things are like this.
They exist, but may not be clearly identifiable.
Just like everyone’s emotions.
The banquet was no different from an ordinary banquet, Wang Gu was busy the whole night, but saw nothing unusual.
Everyone seed very Demon Worship Sect.
Deep into the night, Wang Gu received a phone call, and after taking it, he was stunned for a long ti.
He took Zhou Leng to a corner, and said in a low voice, "I have to go to the Patrol Office now, you wait here for news. If... I don’t co back, report to the organization. Rember, do not act impulsively, this is a trap set by the other party to force my hand."
"What’s going on?"
Wang Gu sighed and said, "My subordinates have been captured. Although they are from Elephant Country, they are still my subordinates. I need to rescue them. However, the other party clearly doesn’t intend to wipe us out completely; they are likely using my subordinates as bargaining chips. Anyway, we only need to stay for three days; they will surely agree."
Zhou Leng said, "As far as I know, the credibility of the Indians is not even as good as the founder of the Trup Family."
"I have good connections in the Demon Worship Sect, I will handle this matter properly."
"Are you sure you don’t want
to co with you?"
"If you go too, and we get caught, the risk will be even greater. Please trust , my connections in the Demon Worship Sect are strong, I will handle this matter properly." Wang Gu looked at Zhou Leng.
Zhou Leng thought for a mont and said, "Alright, you go."
"Thank you!" Wang Gu gave Zhou Leng a grateful look and turned to leave.
He knew that his actions violated organizational regulations, but he couldn’t stand by and watch his loyal subordinates get hard, even if they were from another country.
Watching Wang Gu get into the car, Zhou Leng sent a ssage to Jax.
"I have a friend who ran into a problem in Elephant Country, and he seems to be connected to the Demon Worship Sect. Help protect him for . His na is Anand, he’s a director at Celestial River Pioneer Company, and make sure he’s safe."
Soon, Jax responded promptly.
"Don’t worry, I’ll do it right away."
Zhou Leng sat alone in the corner for a while, when an Indian woman with fair skin walked over.
She was dressed in a traditional Indian red sari, and with a smile, she asked in a singsong voice, "Is soone sitting here?"
Zhou Leng shook his head.
The woman sat down, looked at Zhou Leng, and asked, "What’s your na? I saw you sitting here for a long ti."
Zhou Leng thought for a mont and understood.
He was using Qu Xinghan’s appearance, with only slight changes.
It had to be said, Third Senior Brother was indeed quite handso.
Sect Leader Sister Shen Yunxian once said that Third Senior Brother almost captivated countless juniors, peers, elders, and even older elders.
Zhou Leng thought that next ti he should disguise himself as soone else, then pointed to his mouth and shook his head.
The woman showed a look of sympathy and beca even more enthusiastic.
Zhou Leng could only listen for a while and occasionally respond with gestures.
In the distance, in front of the Five Xin Deli Patrol Office.
Wang Gu parked the car and was about to walk inside when the door opened, and his subordinates walked out in a daze.
Behind them, the Patrol Office chief led nurous patrols, all smiles and ingratiating.
Wang Gu looked confused, the Patrol Office chief wasn’t an ordinary person from Elephant Country; holding real power, he must be a mid-level in the Demon Worship Sect and of high caste, with a status higher than his own.
They had t before, the other party was superficially polite but was actually quite indifferent.
"Director Anand!" Wang Gu’s subordinates ran over gratefully to him.
"Are you the honorable Mr. Anand? I rember now, we’ve t before. Wonderful, my brother..." The Patrol Office chief warmly approached, chatting with Wang Gu.
Wang Gu didn’t know what was happening, but as the Patrol Office chief continued to chat, he soon understood.
The Sect Hierarch of the Elephant Country Demon Worship Sect personally ordered the release of people and even rebuked the Patrol Office chief’s superior.
But the Patrol Office chief didn’t know specifically who did it.
The two exchanged contact information, Wang Gu told his subordinates to leave, and he drove back to the banquet.
As he walked, he pondered who could have helped him.
His previous superior was a vice president, above the vice president was the president, but they were just a branch; above them was the total sect of the Elephant Country.
He was at least four to five levels below the Sect Hierarch of the Elephant Country, like a village chief and a provincial governor.
As he walked, he saw Code Na Xin River standing beside two beautiful won, and he paused for a mont.
This matter, he only told Code Na Xin River, and no one else, as he planned to first assess the situation at the Patrol Office.
But before he even reached the Patrol Office, the people were released.
Wang Gu went over and helped Zhou Leng dismiss the two won, then went to a secluded spot.
"Senior Xin River, do you also have connections in Elephant Country?"
"Is it resolved?"
"It’s been resolved."
"That’s good."
At this mont, Singer, the man from Elephant Country who had greeted them earlier, hurriedly arrived, fell to his knees before Wang Gu with a thud, and begged for rcy. Speaking in a mix of jumbled Elephant Country language and distorted Nightingale tongue, his words were too fast for Zhou Leng to understand, so he enabled the translation function.
It was this Singer who had ordered his subordinates to capture Zhou Leng’s subordinate.
This incident displeased the main sect greatly; who would have thought that during the World Congress there would still be internal strife, prompting the dispatch of a Grandmaster to investigate.
Wang Gu neither agreed nor disagreed, simply advising Singer to leave.
He was well aware of the performative nature of the people from Elephant Country; no matter what Singer said, he couldn’t be trusted.
He said, "Thank you, senior. No wonder I sensed your extraordinary presence." Wang Gu sighed to himself, the big shot sent by the weaving faction was indeed different, having even broader connections in the Demon Worship Sect than himself... Hm?
He quickly restrained unwarranted thoughts and pretended he couldn’t discern anything.
"It’s all for the mission," Zhou Leng said.
"Yes."
Wang Gu beca increasingly puzzled about who this person actually was. Had the weaving faction sent him to protect himself? Why did it feel like this person was a thousand tis more important than he was?
Their relationship had originally been quite unfamiliar, but Zhou Leng’s assistance made Wang Gu especially grateful, and without realizing it, they ended up talking quite a lot.
"I know Zhao Lianshuo, and I’ve heard him ntion ’Broken Sword,’" Zhou Leng took the opportunity to say.
Wang Gu was taken aback. His level of confidentiality was very high, and this sort of thing wasn’t supposed to be known by an assisting Grandmaster.
Even Wang Boxiong had only recently gained the qualifications to know about his situation in the past six months.
But this Grandmaster, who seed very young, had a confidentiality level equal to or higher than Wang Boxiong?
Countless young Grandmasters flashed through his mind, leaving only two.
Li Shenkong and Zhou Leng.
Li Shenkong was recuperating, which he knew, so this person must be...
Wang Gu’s right hand trembled slightly, and he quickly said, "Although I call him Uncle Zhao, he is actually my foster father. I’ve grown up listening to him boast about ’Broken Sword.’"
"Old Zhao is a really good person. When I was young, I received support from him."
Wang Gu imdiately rembered that Zhou Leng was from Rucheng, confirming his identity even more.
"How is he now? It’s been almost ten years since I last had contact with him." In the end, Wang Gu couldn’t hold back, as it had been too long since they last parted.
Zhou Leng recounted Zhao Lianshuo’s situation, including the matter of his ’Broken Sword’ being tricked away by the Zhao Family, and ntioned that Zhao Lianshuo was now working hard on cultivation, though his emotions were sowhat unstable.
Wang Gu’s eyes widened, a flash of anger in them.
"Has it co to this..." Wang Gu felt a deep sense of grief and indignation. He had been serving his country overseas, yet couldn’t even safeguard sothing belonging to his foster father.
"What do you an by ’this’?" Zhou Leng asked.
Wang Gu sighed, "Saint Zhao once said, if the ’Broken Sword’ was reclaid, Uncle Zhao would have to give up his illusions and prepare for a struggle."
Zhou Leng’s eyes narrowed, recalling Zhao Lianshuo’s words. Back then, he had thought they were just drunken rants. Hearing them again, he asked, "Did he ntion this before?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhao kept bringing it up."
"As expected of Saint Zhao, seeing a thousand years ahead," Zhou Leng sighed.
Both of their elders had military backgrounds, and as they talked, they slowly opened up more.
Wang Gu sighed, "My great-grandfather fought against Nuclear Island people and Eagle Alliance people; my grandfather fought against Southern Yue people; my father fell at the Dragon-Elephant border. That’s why I took the initiative to infiltrate Elephant Country."
"So, the code na Wang Gu ca from where your father fell?"
Wang Gu nodded.
"A family of loyal heroes," Zhou Leng said.
Yet a cold smile appeared on Wang Gu’s face as he said, "After completing this mission, I’m applying to be transferred to those Elephant Country residential areas within the country to strictly enforce the law. All problematic Elephant Country people should be expelled, not a single one left."
"I’ve heard that Elephant Country people in the country... the situation is quite serious," Zhou Leng sighed lightly.
"It’s more than serious. Do you know how many untouchables in Elephant Country long for Dragon Country? They gather and discuss not Dragon Country’s ethics, kindness, or hospitality, but how to freeload on Dragon Country’s money for studying, how to create fake identities to stay in Dragon Country, how to easily deceive Dragon Country citizens into marrying them, and then find ways to bring their entire family to Dragon Country..."
"You can hardly imagine, an untouchable from the Demon Worship Sect in Elephant Country laughingly saying they’ve heard that Indian untouchables can beco upper-class and even Brahmins when they co to Dragon Country..."
"My father, who fought and died against Elephant Country, and I, who infiltrated Elephant Country. Yet, our ho was stolen..."
Wang Gu let out a long sigh, saying, "Over the years I’ve stayed in Elephant Country, I’ve already discovered that the Demon Worship Sect is carrying out a substitution plan against Dragon Country. It’s said that Despair Shepherd used this thod to destroy his last opponent in Demon Purgatory, with great success. After completing this mission, I will continue to investigate this matter and the Zhao family."
"What do you think about the rumors surrounding Zhao Family, how much of it is true?" Zhou Leng asked.
Wang Gu paused for a mont of silence, then said, "Ninety percent."
"If the substitution plan is real, wouldn’t they solve it from above?"
"They want the bigger picture, to unite all outsiders except ordinary Dragon Country people," Wang Gu replied.
"You seem to have encountered a lot while in Elephant Country."
"I don’t want Dragon Country to turn into Elephant Country," Wang Gu’s gaze was resolute.
After the banquet ended, Wang Gu drove Zhou Leng out.
Halfway through the drive, a violent roar was heard from afar.
The two exchanged a glance; it was a Grandmaster-level battle.
Judging by the location, it was on the outskirts of the city.
Wang Gu said, "Dragon Country’s Grandmasters wouldn’t fight in the city, but in Elephant Country, it’s quite normal, not surprising."
