The Husky in the Wolf Pack

However, having lost much of her power, Fu Hua can only rely on her contract with Otto to 'protect' Shenzhou.

And now, the younger generation she wanted to help is actually getting closer to the path that represents self-destruction because of her actions.

Because of her actions, Otto also set his sights on Lin Yu, treating her as a mature and handy tool.

From the past to the present, the so-called 'Crimson Heron Immortal' is nothing but a joke.

I failed to protect anything...

I'm so incompetent, yet I still have to rely on Otto...

—What exactly was being protected?

The entire Shenzhou was almost destroyed. If it weren't for Lin Yu, even if I used the Moon Wheel and my full strength this time, would I have been able to defeat Chiyou?

I have a title but am utterly incompetent...

—Didn't we fail to protect anything properly?

Since everyone doesn't have much money on hand, we won't offer a bounty for paid items.

Offering a reward for recommending someone to boost the numbers is fine.

One recommendation vote equals one word; in other words, two thousand recommendations equal two thousand words.

I'll close the bounty when I sense something's wrong.

However, I think the probability is higher that there were very few tickets left after checking the back office.

It started at 40416, let's stick with that.

Chapter 124. The Husky Among the Wolves

World Serpent Base

Inside the World Serpent's branch base, the Jackal was pacing anxiously back and forth.

The Gray Serpent beside her remained silent, but judging from the atmosphere, it was clear that it was also in a bad mood.

"That Raven is a piece of trash!"

After speaking, the Jackal immediately began cursing at the captured Raven.

"She was captured after releasing Chiyou, and she didn't even disguise herself before the operation. Now look what happened, she's been exposed!"

"Now Otto has sent people to Kamiya Pharmaceuticals' Shenzhou branch and headquarters to say he wants to have a serious talk—damn it, isn't this just an attempt to find out our background!"

"Alright, that's enough."

Although Gray Serpent was also in a bad mood, as a master of emotional control and the backbone of the World Serpent Organization, he could not vent his anger like Jackal did at this time.

Although Jackal is very capable in scientific research, the only thing she can boast about outside of scientific research is probably her good looks.

As for her other abilities—the fact that she wasn't called useless is already quite polite of Gray Serpent.

It's not a problem if his subordinates are in disarray; at a time like this, as the leader of the World Serpent before Kevin's return, Gray Serpent absolutely cannot afford to lose his composure.

That's why the Gray Serpent, who was furious with the Raven, didn't vent its emotions like the Jackal, but instead pondered how to deal with the crisis that the World Serpent were about to face.

"Raven left our organization for a period of time, and she hasn't been officially part of Kamiya Pharmaceuticals for very long."

"It doesn't matter whether Otto believes this reason or not. As long as we stick to this point and claim that we don't know how she could do such a thing, there won't be any problem."

"Whispering sound."

At this moment, the Jackal looked at the Gray Serpent suspiciously and asked it a question.

"Do you really think this trick will work? Otto, that gigolo, may be a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie, but even I have to admit, he's definitely up to no good."

"In the past, he has sent countless industrial spies to try to infiltrate Kamiya Pharmaceuticals and find out what we have hidden."

"If I hadn't listened to you and left all the important data inside the organization's base, he would have discovered what we were doing long ago!"

Yes, Otto wasn't an idiot.

In fact, from Gray Serpent's perspective, Otto not to give World Serpent time to react, and to launch an attack immediately after the Nine Nether incident, was the best proof of this.

He didn't give Gray Serpent and Jackal time to prepare, and directly sent his men to talk to them in a more forceful manner than before...

There's no other way; Otto definitely won't stop unless we hand over something.

If we hadn't been well-prepared, Otto would have really taken a few bites out of us.

At this moment, the Gray Serpent gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and then slowly spoke to the Jackal.

"Jackal, now do as I say."

"To put it bluntly, Otto wants us to reveal something. After all, things have come to this point, and he's already had his suspicions. He certainly won't let this opportunity slip away easily."

"Actually, I had anticipated this day. You own several companies, some of which contain discarded data that we have studied."

"Some documents?"

The Jackal, who had neither the interest nor the ability to focus on business matters, asked the Gray Serpent with utter astonishment.

"What information—no, when did you prepare this?"

"While you're arguing with the Raven."

As he said this in a bad mood, the Gray Serpent made a light slash in the air and opened the intelligence light screen inside the base.

"While Kamiya Pharmaceuticals was carrying out rescue efforts everywhere, it never concealed any activities related to human trials. This was the action plan I instructed you to follow."

"The reason I did this is to tell those guys that Kamiya Pharmaceuticals was never a pure white company from the beginning."

"At the same time, I left some data on human experiments in the companies under your name."

"These data are from the research on human Honkai Energy. If you only look at these data, Otto can only see the initial steps of our research."

Looking at the information on the screen, Jackal frowned slightly.

Then, realizing what was happening, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this a preliminary research topic for the Stigmata Plan???"

"You actually plan to reveal this information to Otto? Gray Serpent, have you lost your mind?"

The Stigmata Plan is the core of the World Serpent's plan.

In the Jackal's eyes, anyone trying to expose the Stigmata Plan at this moment was clearly insane.

If it weren't for the fact that Gray Serpent is currently the true 'boss' of the World Serpent, Jackal would even suspect that Gray Serpent is now sensing something is wrong and preparing to defect to the enemy on the spot.

"Don't be foolish, Jackal."

The Gray Serpent, still deep in thought, continued to explain to the Jackal.

"These materials only prove that Kamiya Pharmaceuticals has conducted some more shady experiments, and for Otto, this kind of material... probably won't satisfy him."

"But if he makes further trouble, we can just give up."

"Now we've established a foothold around the world thanks to anti- Honkai drugs. Schicksal is indeed very strong, but Otto won't mess with us until he has enough evidence."

"I don't know what that man is plotting, but if Kamiya Pharmaceuticals really goes under, Schicksal can't afford to support other regions with medicines."

"Of course he wouldn't care about those people's lives or deaths, but this guy... ha, he loves to pretend. At least I'm sure that Otto won't tear off his hypocritical mask in front of everyone until he's absolutely certain."

"As for the data leak you mentioned, I'm not stupid."

"After processing the data, Otto could deduce that this was a prelude experiment related to the Stigmata Plan just by looking at it?"

"Don't overthink it. In the 'past,' there was an abundance of such experimental data. Only those who can foresee the future or live in the past would know what we are planning to do."

"But--"

Seeing the Jackal's impatient behavior, the Gray Serpent remained silent, waiting quietly for the Jackal to ask another question.

Seeing Gray Serpent's confident attitude, Jackal became even calmer.

Moreover, now that the Jackal have calmed down, they realize that they actually have an even more troublesome problem to face.

The Raven is still in their hands!

This guy is a core member of the World Serpent, and the Gray Serpent even gave Raven the valuable Divine Key, which is enough to show how much the Gray Serpent values Raven.

However, the Jackal did not trust the woman.

She had left the organization before, and it's worth noting that before leaving, Raven had already gained access to some of the World Serpent's secrets.

However, the Gray Serpent actually let her go.

When Raven returned later, she admitted that she came back because it was more comfortable to make money in World Serpent.

It is precisely for this reason that Jackal does not trust his colleagues who have 'betrayed' the organization and are only after money, showing no loyalty to the organization.

Such people are actually very likely to defect to the enemy once they realize that things are not going well.

"It seems you've calmed down. Actually, the real problem we need to face now is with Raven."

The Gray Serpent, having retracted its light screen, suddenly leaned back on the sofa.

Even knowing that the other party was a cyborg, Jackal could still see the obvious weariness in Gray Serpent's posture.

"You and Raven, as core members of our World Serpent, have both been informed of the coordinates of several branch bases to be abandoned."

"I don't expect Raven to be loyal, but she wouldn't expose our secrets right away."

"A prisoner who immediately spills all the information is courting death."

"What we need to do now is to rescue her before she reveals the information she can't disclose, or..."

"—Kill her."

"So, Kui, I need you to provide enough combat power, and then use the Quantum Teleportation System to send all the combat power to the location of Raven in one go, and make a big splash."

"Combat strength..."

After listening to Gray Serpent's plan, Jackal pondered for a moment and then said to Gray Serpent with great helplessness.

"That cat has indeed been transformed into Emperor-class creature, but it can only transform into Honkai Beast for a few minutes each time it transforms."

"As for the potion that can turn you into Emperor-class Honkai Beast, the quantity is not large at the moment, and I need to keep some for backup analysis."

"And now, that idiot Raven has definitely been captured and taken to the Far East Branch. To be honest... our combat strength is not enough."

Seeing the Jackal's current predicament, Gray Serpent couldn't help but sigh, the Jackal looked much better than usual now.

When the organization encounters a major crisis, even a reckless woman like Jackal actually knows how to consider the pros and cons and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the combat forces before taking action.

This fully demonstrates that a cornered dog will indeed jump over a wall.

But now, whether it's the Jackal whose mind is temporarily online or the Gray Serpent whose mind is always online, they all have the same idea.

The World Serpent's high-end combat power is still too weak.

The Gray Serpent even drew a deeper conclusion to this issue.

The problem isn't particularly serious yet, that's his guess. For now, Otto will probably play along with them within the rules of the game.

The problem is that whether Otto acts within the rules is up to Otto.

He could flip the table anytime he wanted, but World Serpent had no way to deal with Otto, who didn't follow the rules.

Unless, of course, the World Serpent can seize a Herrscher Core and throw it into Haiyuan City to welcome back their Venerable Lord Kevin.

Just as Gray Serpent was thinking about this, his communication device suddenly rang.

"Who is it at this time?"

"Ha, our ally has arrived, Jackal."

Upon seeing the name on the communicator, Gray Serpent immediately selected to connect to the other party's communication.
