Chen Tao's Knowing Smile

After reading the report in his hand, Li Yao fell into deep thought.

That's quite a coincidence.

Why is the American Federation always stirring up trouble everywhere? But thinking about it, it makes sense. From the late 20th century to the early 21st century, the American Federation CIA spread its intelligence agencies all over the world, and it seems that the American Federation is involved in almost every conflict, big or small, between countries around the world.

Both the Bureau of Secrecy and the CIA are intelligence organizations that operate externally.

The Bureau of Secrecy, which was established during Blumen's time, was mainly responsible for military secrets. The CIA, on the other hand, was established later and reported directly to the president. It had a relatively low status among the intelligence agencies, but its status rose sharply after the Empire State Building terrorist attack.

The CIA began receiving substantial funding for intelligence gathering and infiltration.

It even became the largest intelligence agency in the American Federation at one time.

Therefore, there are rumors that the Empire State Building terrorist attack was nothing more than a show staged by the US president.

As for whether it's true or false

There is no evidence to support this.

Li Yao weighed his phone in his hand, wondering why Big Sis Feng Li had told him this information.

Is this an attempt to undermine the American Federation of Homeland Defense and Countermeasures?

Um...

Li Yao closed his eyes and began to ponder the specifics of this operation.

Li Yao's life didn't change much after that.

The tavern was empty, Sauron was next door... Li Yao couldn't tell whether it was Xiao Zhao petting the cat or Sauron petting Xiao Zhao.

but,

Let it be.

He reads alone, eats alone, practices his spirituality alone... Enough said.

Li Yao felt tears welling up in his eyes.

It's not that bad at all!

The next morning, after washing up, Li Yao habitually exercised under the Ginkgo Tree. After finishing his workout, Li Yao took out his phone and called out in the WeChat group, "Old Cao, Old Chen! Meet at the tavern!"

In the WeChat group,

Cao Rui replied instantly, "Holy crap, Da Yao, you're still alive? I thought you were about to ascend to heaven!"

Li Yao: "..."

He replied, "Haven't you been inactive in the group chat for just as long?"

Cao Rui: "What kind of idiot are you? You and Lao Chen have been so busy lately that we've been sleeping together! Shuisheng Ge is never active, okay? How am I supposed to be active?"

Li Yao said quietly, "So this is what you're like, Old Cao!"

Cao Erha: "???"

What's wrong? Li Yao: "@Chen Tao, hasn't your girlfriend complained about you coming home too late or not coming home at all lately? Is everything alright in your 'buttocks' area?"

Chen Tao: "... And we're both straight! As for girlfriends... you know, brainless fans."

Li Yao: "..."

He exclaimed, "Master Chen is awesome!" (his voice cracked)

Chen Tao sent a shy emoji. "Don't do this, don't do this, what are you trying to do for us?"

Li Yao: "I have something to tell you."

Chen Tao: "Okay, see you in a bit."

Cao Rui: "+1".

Put away your phone.

Li Yao notified the shop assistant WeChat to come to work today, then went next door to find Big Sis Feng Li: "I'm planning to go to Romania."

Big Sis Feng Li: "Oh? You're planning to take over Baby's Breath?"

Li Yao immediately laughed, "As expected... you guys are quite concerned about the Full Sky Star Society. Tell me, what role does the Wallfacers play here? How do you hope things will develop?"

Unexpectedly, Big Sis Feng Li shook her head and said, "You're overthinking it."

She explained, "Recently, there have been many moves by the organization, including significant changes in the monitoring of subspace activities and diplomacy with international supernatural forces."

Li Yao nodded.

Most of these dynamic changes are related to Old Man Lu's advancement to the seventh rank and the establishment of Maeve Manufacturing.

The former gives the Wallfacer Organization more influence among international supernatural forces.

The latter gives the Wallfacers more leverage to build connections with international supernatural forces.

Since Maeve Manufacturing was established, the Wallfacers have handled almost all the operational work. Li Yao is just a figurehead, mainly providing technology and sharing the profits...

Since the Wallfacers couldn't learn the core technologies anyway, Li Yao wasn't worried about his own worth. The Wallfacers were also well aware of this, so they fully respected and considered Li Yao's intentions.

Big Sis Feng Li continued, "With the confrontation with the American Federation, we don't actually have much energy to influence the development of the Full Sky Star Society."

Li Yao nodded and asked, "Then tell me about your understanding and analysis of the Full Sky Star Society incident."

He thought about it last night.

It was thought that the Wallfacers might want to use his influence within the Full Sky Star Society to recruit the organization.

Even if it isn't,

That was also a hope that they would side with them, turning the original three-way competition into a four-way competition.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Big Sis Feng Li replied, "The analysis from the Staff Department is that this is a confrontation between the American Faction and the European camp. You know, since World War II, the European continent's strength has been riddled with holes by the American Federation. Britain and France have almost become the American Federation ' lapdogs, while Germany has been emasculated and suppressed to this day. Although the European continent has fallen politically, the traditional mysterious forces are still very active."

Li Yao became interested. "Tell me about it? I'm quite interested in this!"

Big Sis Feng Li scratched her head. "To be honest, it's hard to know where to begin. There are dozens of countries in that tiny, remote place, and after a couple of thousand years of development, it's become incredibly chaotic!"

However, Big Sis Feng Li still shared some of the more important information.

for example:

Although Europe's economic and military status has been declining, as one of the origins and revivals of civilization, its cultural heritage is still considerable.

now,

The major supernatural forces active in Europe include: the Priory of Sion, the Illuminati, the Secret Office, and the Golden Dawn Society.

The Priory of Sion, also known as the Zion Society or the Holy Mountain Church, traces its origins back to the Crusades and initially had an inseparable relationship with the Holy See. However, after the incorporation of many scholars and artistic masters during the Renaissance, the Hermit Order transformed from an organization focused on "verifying sacred sites" into one that pursued humanistic ideals.

As for the Illuminati, they were originally a demon-worshipping organization that worshipped the demon Lucifer. In fact, the prototype of Lucifer was Nebuchadnezzar, the king of ancient Babylon. Their goal was to establish a world conquest and rule over all mankind.

Its secular organization is more widely known than itself— the Freemasons.

The Secret Office originated from the Inquisition of the Holy See.

The Golden Dawn Society is the highest-ranking organization among the traditional mystical forces in continental Europe.

After briefly introducing these organizations, Big Sis Feng Li said, "The Illuminati has a grudge against the American Federation, and the Secret Office is very hostile to the American Faction Order of Knights. If you really go there, you can probably take advantage of the relationships here."

Li Yao said with a headache, "Why is everything being linked to religion?"

Li Yao actually disliked this kind of pure religious worship.

Although there are many religions in China, and even many cults that were active in the past, the orthodox Daoism of China ultimately developed from a philosophy.

Even folk religious sects are mostly specific beliefs derived from nature worship.

It was more of a sense of awe for the power of natural phenomena.

For example, Mazu.

The rest is ancestor worship, such as the City God and Guan Yu.

Most of these are prayers for blessings, as a sign of respect, rather than superstition.

Those who use superstition to harm the masses and engage in evil rituals often attract beatings and killings.

After hearing this,

Li Yao wanted to probe further from Big Sis Feng Li, but Cao Rui and Chen Tao arrived. Seeing that no one was at the Lost Tavern, they came to the Midnight Bar. Seeing this, Li Yao decided it was best not to continue the conversation.

It's fine, it's the same if we say it on the phone.

Li Yao waved goodbye to Big Sis Feng Li, then led Chen Tao and Cao Rui back to the next room. They sat down in front of the fireplace, and Li Yao poured them water.

Once you're truly settled,

Then Chen Tao asked with a smile, "Da Yao, do you know about 'Baby's Breath '?"

Li Yao: "???"
