The Overlooked Focus

Ejin City.

The location of the Sharku Manor is very easy to spot.

A towering, enormous green vine stretched from the ground to the sky, its roots almost completely covering the gardens of the Sharku Manor...

At this moment.

Under the renovation by Carpenter Achen.

The Western-style villa where Ian and the others lived has now been completely transformed into a traditional Chinese palace.

Even Ian was somewhat surprised.

After all.

Carpenter Achen should belong to Japan, and the buildings he creates should be Japanese structures.

However, considering that Japan also learned from Eastern Ancient Countries, it becomes understandable.

Clearly, the magnificent and imposing ancient-style architecture before him felt more familiar and welcoming to Ian.

"Everyone, stop cultivating for now and come admire Ah Chen's masterpiece."

Then.

Ian beckoned to the crowd and led them, along the red carpet, into the brightly lit palace.

Upon hearing his words, Uvogin and the others quickly packed up their training equipment. The group soon gathered around Ian, all curious about their new place.

At the same time, they were also amazed by the Carpenter Achen's skills.

"Hey, hey, that's too much, Ian. Did this little guy really do all of this by himself?" Nobunaga said with an exaggerated expression, draping an arm over Uvogin.

"Ouch... Nobunaga, you bastard, you did that on purpose, didn't you?! That hurts so much!"

Uvogin gasped. That Nobunaga had run right into the big bump that had just appeared on his head.

Nobunaga turned his head and whistled, a smile in his eyes.

After a period of playful banter, the group headed towards the palace.

Carpenter Achen was already waiting at the door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ah Chen!"

Ian bent down and patted the other person on the shoulder, and the others looked at him with admiration.

Such a small body hides great strength.

Ah Chen remained calm and led the way, guiding the group into the palace.

Despite its ancient architectural style, it is magnificent.

But in reality, once you step inside the "new home," you'll find it's full of technological conveniences, making it a must-have for lazy people and freeing up your hands.

The red carpet behind them was quickly withdrawn.

As soon as Ian and his group entered the hall, the floor tiles beneath their feet turned out to be hidden conveyor belts, which immediately began to operate.

You can slide forward without taking any steps.

Wow!

Nobunaga and the others were somewhat surprised. Illumi, who had just joined in, also stared with wide, dark eyes, seemingly astonished, as if to say...

Have people really become this lazy...?

Ian, on the other hand, really liked the device.

Before long, everyone was teleported to an ancient staircase leading to the second floor, surrounded by pillars that resembled Coiling Dragons.

"Snap!"

A small opening appeared in the pillar, and a flat plate was handed out by a robotic arm.

The plate contained several cups of hot drinks, which were clearly already heated.

Ian and the others reached out and took it. Uvogin tried to peek through the gap in the mechanical arm, but Machi grabbed him.

After everyone finished their hot drinks, the stairs in front of them moved automatically, and in no Kung Fu Hustle they were up to the second floor.

Compared to the somewhat spacious first floor, the second floor has more rooms and more entertainment facilities. There's no need to take any steps; the floor beneath your feet is made of slow-moving conveyor belts.

They led Ian and the others to one room after another.

Each room is decorated in a different style; some resemble small bedrooms in an ancient palace, appearing very private, where one would surely sleep exceptionally well.

Some are incredibly high-tech, with multiple screens embedded inside, and some even have holographic projection.

Some rooms are designed in a sports style, filled with training equipment, while others are designed in a Forest style, with various plants growing inside.

Fishing rooms suitable for experienced anglers, gaming rooms filled with various types of arcade machines...

Ian and his group were dazzled by what they saw.

Uvogin and the others were also shocked; they never expected that the little guy leading the way would have done so much.

It wasn't just the appearance that was changed; it completely transformed their home from the inside out.

Next, led by Carpenter Achen, Ian and his group looked around the place, which had a total of 5 floors.

Compared to the previous Western-style villa, the overall space is much larger, and indeed, as Ian suggested, it balances practicality and comfort.

Especially in the bedroom, there are many technological elements, allowing you to adjust the lighting or the softness of the bed at any time.

This improvement was a godsend for someone like Ian who valued rest.

After the tour, everyone was very satisfied with their new home.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone can live together; that is the source of happiness.

Secondly...

Whether it's building or modifying a building invisibly, it's all a matter of a blink of an eye for Carpenter Achen.

This also made Uvogin and the others understand why Ian's amazing gadget robot was allowed to join their Dawn organization.

This guy is a born architect, a mobile fortress.

In the future, wherever they go, they will be able to enjoy the convenient and comfortable living conditions they have now. Who could refuse such a privilege?

While Ian was settling the people of Congo, they were happy about the new gadgets he had acquired.

The numerous decision-makers at V5, located in a remote area, find it difficult to get a proper rest.

After seeing the video sent back by Sashado, and witnessing the other side's blunt declaration of war.

They have held several meetings in the past few days.

The entire discussion revolved around how to destroy that monster!

Some have suggested using large-scale weapons to raze the entire Congo region to the ground!

But the proposal was quickly rejected, not out of humanitarian considerations.

However, their whereabouts are currently unknown.

At this time, Sashado was not a faction; he was just one person, yet he possessed the immense power to easily destroy a country.

Recent intelligence reports from around the world have not revealed any trace of him or his movements.

This rash suggestion was naturally rejected!

Some suggested sending someone to negotiate with the other party, arguing that their identity was clear, regardless of the reason for their resurrection.

But the other party was once a human being who lived on this continent.

There are no irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides, and V5's leadership is well aware that the primary threat facing humanity remains the endless disasters lurking on the Dark Continent.

If a treaty of peaceful coexistence can be reached with the other side.

It might also be of great help in curbing the threat from the Dark Continent.

This suggestion has garnered considerable support.

Unfortunately, on the one hand, the human leadership was also worried about whether the other party had any connection with the Dark Continent.

After all, the strength displayed by the opponent completely exceeded the imagination of modern humans.

Whether based on the opinions of think tanks or top-tier Nen users, the existence of this entity poses an S+ threat to humanity!

In particular, based on intelligence gathering regarding the capabilities displayed by the opposing side, it appears that they require humans as sacrificial units as a condition for activation.

This has led many to imagine some kind of catastrophe on the Dark Continent, filling them with deep fear.

Unless it becomes absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, humanity must never cooperate with such a monster that could potentially prey on the entire human race.

Just when everyone had been discussing it for a long time without any results and was at a loss for what to do...

Finally... someone seemed to remember that boy who had once appeared briefly on the battlefield.

Their intense focus on Sashado almost caused them to overlook the boy who could control giants.

The other party's identity became the focus of everyone's attention at this moment!
