Qu Jianlei was delighted to discover that Mu Guang and Nutrient Solution's spheres of influence complemented each other remarkably well.
The former moved within circles of Awakened Ones that were not only elite but also extensive, with connections reaching into every industry.
He was especially at home in certain Gray Areas. In comparison, the latter was somewhat lacking in that regard.
However, Nutrient Solution had access to the topmost circles among the Awakened Ones, reaching even the highest levels.
For the entire team, these were two invaluable sources of support.
From gathering intelligence to handling affairs, the team's capabilities had improved tremendously.
Previously, the team had relied solely on Xiao Hu, with Old Lady Jia's connections added at most. Beyond that, they had nothing.
Nutrient Solution did not disappoint Qu Jianlei. Within a few days, he had obtained detailed information on Versailles.
This man had advanced to Supreme at the age of sixty-seven. In the Empire, he was considered an unmatched genius, comparable to Paranoid.
Afterward, he had served in the military. What was rare was that he also possessed considerable research ability.
Thirty years ago, Versailles had attempted to break through to Above Supreme. Even Mu Guang had failed to uncover such secret information.
He had failed the breakthrough as well, but without question, his understanding of Above Supreme far surpassed that of ordinary Supremes.
His body had not suffered much damage either. In that respect, he was far stronger than Old Lady Jia.
Versailles's combat strength was formidable. Though he could not be called peerless, ordinary peak Supremes were no match for him.
More importantly, among his friends were existences Above Supreme.
He had personally attempted to reach the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm and had friends like that as well... Qu Jianlei gritted his teeth slightly upon hearing this.
