Yang Jian isn't particularly concerned about the situation of foreign ghost-tar organizations. After all, the first thing to consider upon becoming a ghost tar is survival. Who has ti to care about so-called changes in the situation?
However, when supernatural events keep occurring and gradually evolve into a norm, coupled with the continuous accumulation of ghost tars, it inevitably leads to a human-centric vicious cycle, which is internal strife.
Yang Jian is also clear about the Ark plan. Essentially, those foreign ghost tars don't want to risk handling supernatural events anymore and are tired of facing vengeful spirits daily. So, they simply lure all the ghosts dostically for headquarters' ghost tars to handle. This way, they can ensure safety in their area while preventing incidents from getting out of control and simultaneously restricting dostic ghost tars' abilities.
Of course.
Within the brutal supernatural events, perhaps a few powerful ghost tars can erge, but Yang Jian believes that any uncontrollable powerful ghost tars appearing dostically would certainly face relentless efforts from the foreign King Organization to eliminate them.
Through this thod, the King Organization efficiently transfers all the risks of a supernatural resurgence dostically.
By then, the temporary situation maintained by the twelve captains would instantly beco chaotic, and even ordinary people could encounter roaming vengeful spirits while walking on the street.
"I was previously attacked by people from the King Organization, they even tried to act against . But they failed, and cald down for a while. Unexpectedly, they couldn't hold back and erged now."
Yang Jian slowly spoke: "Li Yang's analysis is correct. The opposing side clearly has a deep understanding of our situation here. I suspect there are informants from the opposing side within headquarters, and their positions aren't low. Otherwise, they wouldn't precisely grasp the captains' movents and swiftly respond after the Hungry Ghost event erupted again."
"I'll notify headquarters later to have the deputy minister ferret out this traitor," Liu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said.
Yang Jian continued: "Now, this is just a minor issue. The informant at headquarters has completed their task. The Ark plan has begun, the enemy's relations are clear, and remaining is a life-and-death combat. The King Organization struck first at the right mont and seized the opportunity. Next, they shouldn't have any radical actions—they're waiting for our headquarters to retaliate."
"Are you saying that similar attacks like tonight's won't happen again?" Liu Xiaoyu asked.
"Of course, their real motive isn't to kill the captains but to pressure everyone by eliminating the captains' teammates, assistants, or even give a few non-lethal attacks. This also helps them determine each captain's true strength and supernatural abilities. After all, intelligence is just intelligence—sotis it's hard to trust. Moreover, the captains' files aren't public. Even if there's a traitor at headquarters, they probably can't access it."
Li Yang furrowed his brows and said: "Then next we gather other captains and initiate a second captain's eting to counter the King Organization's Ark plan?"
"Normally, that's the procedure," Yang Jian replied.
"Normally?" Li Yang said: "So, it's currently not a normal situation?"
Yang Jian didn't imdiately answer but walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the brightly lit Dachang City: "According to your prior analysis, how many active captains do we have now?"
"Wang Chaling from Dadong City and the hurriedly arrived Lin Bei can't act, Wei Jing had issues, Li Jun just recently resurrected, so neither can act. Zhang Jun died... Also, due to the King Organization's pressure, we're unsure if Leuk San, He Yiner, Zhou Deng, and Li Leping might have other thoughts. The only ones we can be sure of are Cao Yang, Lu Zhiwen, and us."
"If we can convene a second captain's eting, we can indeed formulate a response."
Li Yang evaluated the situation and felt that although it was dire, a counterattack was still plausible.
Liu Xiaoyu watched Yang Jian and said: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's convene the captain's eting and stop that Ghost Ship from docking, we must thwart their plan."
"Why rush?"
Yang Jian coldly glanced: "The more it is so, the less we can make hasty decisions. Right now, the opposing side is lurking in the shadows watching us. They're waiting for us to make a retaliatory move. If our retaliation has any flaws, they'll definitely eliminate the second and third captains. There are only so few top ghost tars, losing even one is losing too many."
"And once we fail in our retaliation, do you know what the cost will be? By then, supernatural events dostically will completely erupt and spiral out of control, and it won't be just one or two individuals dying."
"Sorry, I was too hasty." Liu Xiaoyu pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Li Yang said: "Indeed, we must remain calm and thoughtful at this ti, even if convening a second captain's eting, caution is necessary."
Yang Jian contemplated for a mont: "The captain's eting can't be abruptly convened, such a commotion is too significant. After all, a group of captains gathering together—any fool would know what we're going to do next."
"We must stabilize the situation first. Since the opposing side is pressuring us, we have to pressure them in return and make corresponding counterattacks. Many city leaders are watching. If our captains get chaotic, the dostic supernatural circle gets chaotic. At that point, we'll not only face foreign issues but dostic ones too. Liu Xiaoyu, initially send a ssage in my na to all captains, instruct them to properly manage their responsible areas, avoid mishaps, anwhile, remind them to stay vigilant and avoid assassination, and wait for my news at any ti within the next three days."
"Alright, I'll transmit the ssage right away." Liu Xiaoyu imdiately stood up and headed to the office.
"Li Yang, log into the ghost-tar website, modify the report Liu Xiaoyu just made, and send it out simultaneously, declaring war with the King Organization in the na of headquarters—inform the entire supernatural circle that I, Yang Jian, will lead all captains and city leaders from headquarters in a relentless fight against the so-called King Organization. Also, warn the supernatural circle that anyone tangled with the King Organization still has ti to withdraw."
Yang Jian said earnestly.
Li Yang was stunned: "Directly declare war? In headquarters' na? What if headquarters doesn't respond at that ti, wouldn't we beco a joke?"
"I am the Enforcent Captain. If Cao Yanhua doesn't respond at a ti like this, I won't just dismiss him, but personally kill him, and replace him with soone who can respond to my decisions." Yang Jian spoke coldly: "Without declaring war now, once disunity sets in, how would the squad be led?"
"And I don't believe that the ghost tars from the King Organization are all fearless of death. If they were truly fearless, they wouldn't have devised the Ark plan."
"Alright, since the captain has decided, I'll go ahead." Li Yang stood up and headed to his office.
After witnessing Li Yang leaving, Yang Jian's gaze shifted to Zhang Liqin: "Connect to Ye Zhen in Dahai City—I need to assess his stance at this ti."
"Yes, it's President Yang."
Zhang Liqin's heart trembled, her eyes filled with fear. From Yang Jian's presence, she felt an oppressive force that suffocated her, as if a single glance could strip her of life. This was not an aura a re human could possess.
She walked over to the desk, flipping through the phonebook; such important calls couldn't be recorded on a cell phone or electronically, they had to be recorded by hand.
"Are your hands shaking?"
Zhang Liqin noticed her own hands trembling uncontrollably, nearly tearing the phonebook.
Quickly.
She found the number for the Dahai City Supernatural Forum and dialed it imdiately.
"I am Yang Jian's secretary. Our President Yang has urgent matters that require connecting with Ye Zhen. Please reach out to him."
"Yang Jian's secretary? Looking for our boss? At this ti, he's resting. How about tomorrow?" A slightly mature middle-aged man's voice ca from the phone.
Zhang Liqin replied, "This matter is very important, please have Ye Zhen take the call. Our President Yang is waiting for his callback right beside ."
The voice on the other end paused for a mont, then said, "Hold on."
After about a few minutes, the call was transferred.
A young man's voice, sowhat low, ca from the other end: "Hello, Yang Wudi, what's the matter looking for so late? I'm a bit busy now, might not have much ti to chat."
Yang Jian took the phone that Zhang Liqin handed over and said, "Ye Zhen, how much do you know about the King Organization?"
"Just a little," Ye Zhen's voice remained low, "What's up?"
"In about ten minutes, I will declare war on the King Organization in the na of the headquarters. What's your stance?" Yang Jian wasn't bothered to explain the reasons or the story, he directly asked.
Ye Zhen's laughter ca through the phone, sowhat arrogant: "Haha, I told you that if we join forces, nothing can stop us. You ask my stance, I also want to ask yours. Do you want to join forces with , or be my enemy?"
"How about we join forces to eliminate the King Organization?" Yang Jian replied imdiately.
At this crucial mont, he didn't want any additional trouble. Ye Zhen was a force that could be won over, and attitude was very important, serving as a wind vane in the supernatural circle. If others knew the Supernatural Forum was already aligned with the headquarters, it would undoubtedly greatly boost everyone's confidence.
"Alright, let know when the fight is. I have so personal matters to deal with on my end," Ye Zhen said and then hung up the phone.
Despite hanging up, Ye Zhen was not sleeping at the mont.
In a mansion in Dahai City.
Ye Zhen held a cold, twisted long sword standing in the yard. On the lawn in front of him lay a person with a distorted expression, grimacing, and full of cracks on his body. Unable to move, a cold aura spread over him gradually stripping his life away.
"Don't, don't do it, let explain, I'm not a mber of that King Organization. I was sent by the headquarters, it was just an accident, really an accident, I swear." The person endlessly pleaded with Ye Zhen for rcy.
"Still daring to lie. Look into my eyes, scumbag, I permit you to say it again."
Ye Zhen angrily stomped on the person's head, the imnse force directly embedded the person's head into the lawn.
A painful scream echoed, the cracks on this person's body started sprawling uncontrollably due to the stomp. The entire person seed like fragile porcelain about to shatter.
"It was a, a misunderstanding, don't, don't kill ," a broken voice ca from the dirt.
Ye Zhen's face turned cold, he applied force again with his foot, and the person's head imdiately shattered like glass, leaving only a mouth intact, rigid and pungent.
"Killed the King Organization's informant, agreed to join forces with Yang Jian, our Supernatural Forum's stance is already very clear."
At this mont, a middle-aged manager walked over from a short distance away, his expression solemn: "I will later announce in the supernatural circle about our collaboration with headquarters and also declare war against the King Organization."
"But boss, by doing this we're entering a very brutal fight, is this really worth it? Many people will die."
Ye Zhen snorted, "Why do you think many of us will die, instead of many of them? You're too unconfident. I, Ye Zhen, only lost once to Yang Wudi. What is this King Organization, daring to cause us trouble? No other words, fight them."
"This ti, joining forces with Yang Jian, we are sure to make a na known as double invincible. The era belongs to , and I will shine brightly once again."
The manager's mouth twitched at the side, unsure how to respond, he simply turned away and prepared to send out the ssages.
