A Traitor Among Us

Li Yao had occasionally looked at the high-level information within the Wallfacers.

So even though he had never met Nie Weiguo, he still recognized him.

and,

In the review of internal documents, Nie Weiguo was described as "cold and taciturn, with an extremely strong killing intent."

But the information didn't mention that this guy is also quite good at roasting people...

Li Yao gathered his thoughts and asked, "So what's your plan? Can you tell me about it? And... in the future, can you give us advance notice, give us time to mentally prepare? Can't we just lay it all out?"

Nie Weiguo: "Let's lay it all out and say you'll come?"

Li Yao was displeased upon hearing this! I, Boss Li, have always been incredibly reckless! When have I ever backed down?

Meeting Li Yao's resentful gaze, Nie Weiguo drew his sword and slashed through the air, creating another gash.

Immediately,

A torrent of human heads fell out of the crack.

Li Yao was stunned!

The heads varied in color, from black to yellow to brown, but due to blood loss, their skin appeared sickly pale. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that these heads came from different countries...

Li Yao roughly counted about ten heads. He looked at Nie Weiguo and asked, "These are..."

Nie Weiguo: "Hmm, the person who wants to kill you is at least a mid-level Tier 6."

Li Yao: "..."

Right now, all he wants to do is cheer for Comrade Nie Weiguo!

—Boss Nie is awesome (voice cracks!!!) Nie Weiguo asked, "If I told you outright that so many people would be trying to assassinate you, would you still come?"

Li Yao: "..."

He answered according to his heart, "No."

Then Nie Weiguo fell silent...

The rooftop was so quiet, the atmosphere was so awkward, hahaha.

Li Yao coughed and said, "Well, I wanted to let you know in advance that I'm thinking of combining my own knowledge with the currently circulating cultivation methods to create another set of cultivation methods that are more universally applicable. However, I don't have many cultivation methods on hand, nor do I have any channels for doing so."

Nie Weiguo frowned immediately. "It's difficult to draw on the strengths of many schools of thought and create something new. How confident are you?"

Li Yao: "Very confident."

It was groundbreaking for the extraordinary side of Earth, but for Li Yao, it was merely a reference to make corrections and improvements based on the methods of the Main World.

So it's not that difficult.

After a moment of silence, Nie Weiguo said, "Leave this matter to us. If it really works out, I will thank you on behalf of the people of the world."

Oh ho?

To receive a single word of praise from Boss Nie is an incredible feat! I've heard that this boss has never praised anyone before! Back then, he was chased across half the world for talking back to that stingy Old Man Lu. But instead of being intimidated, this boss drew inspiration from Old Man Lu's swordsmanship, switched to swordsmanship, and eventually established his own school, becoming a grandmaster of swordsmanship!

Look at that resume! He looks like a protagonist! Nie Weiguo then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Li Yao stopped Nie Weiguo: "Do you still have any of those things like the Staff Department that you can open Space Gate by pressing a button on the wall? I want two..."

Nie Weiguo: "..."

two???

Do you think just anyone can take that?

It's not just the General Staff Department that's equipped with such things; only those in charge of a specific region, like Wang Xueyi, who was in charge of the East China Jiangzhe General Staff. Modu, due to its special status, was excluded from this arrangement, and Wang Dalong coordinates and arranges its main affairs.

Therefore, Nie Weiguo replied curtly, "No."

Li Yao panicked. "Then where are you going? Aren't you going to protect me? I need to go back to China! How am I supposed to get back now? What if the enemies in the American Faction mess with me? I'm doomed!"

Nie Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "From now on, the American Faction will no longer be the enemy."

Li Yao: "???"

He wanted to ask more about the specifics, but Nie Weiguo drew his sword, cleaved through the space, stepped inside, and disappeared.

As Nie Weiguo disappeared, Li Yao fell into deep thought...

Washington, D. C., American Federation. Department of Homeland Defense and Counterattack Security.

Morgan sat in his office, a chill running down his spine. According to intelligence reports from various sources, all their plans in Europe had failed! The turmoil in Europe actually had multiple objectives.

The primary objective is to use the turmoil in Europe to undermine the foundations of the supernatural forces on the continent. Once the American Federation forces have fully entered the fray, they will use normal military and economic means in conjunction with precise strikes by the supernatural forces to overthrow the control of the continent by the local European powers.

The second objective is to plunder their resources, knowledge, and information! The goal is to target and destroy several countries, using limited sacrifices to attract some world-class supernatural forces to quell the unrest, while the American Federation takes the opportunity to expand!

They're very familiar with this tactic! Back during World War I and World War II, when the Axis and Allied powers were fighting tooth and nail, they were making a fortune off the outside of the war zone! They were selling war supplies to both sides!

They only went in to claim the victory when the outcome was almost decided.

It's amazing that they can still make movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge"...

As for the third objective...

That is to send members of the opposing factions within the Department of Homeland Defense and Counterattack Security to the battlefield after the outbreak of unrest.

This kind of political struggle is something they can do with ease.

Through careful planning, they not only strengthened themselves but also weakened their enemies and purified their internal structure.

If this can be implemented, it would be a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone!

But something went wrong...

Even though he delayed his deployment in conjunction with NATO and consulted with many heads of state, the unrest in Europe was still quickly quelled! The European domestic financial groups played the most significant role in this effort!

They possessed substantial funds, and after Maeve Manufacturing was officially established to sell Superpowered Prosthetic Limbs and war beasts, they went on a buying spree like madmen! How ferocious was their actions? Morgan had heard that when the Japanese nuclear disaster occurred, many people along the coast of China began frantically hoarding salt... carrying bags and bags of it home.

This is still a source of amusement for them here.

I wonder if they finished eating the salt.

The ferocity with which European conglomerates hoarded goods was similar to their hoarding of salt back then...

Thanks to those war beasts, the European continental supernatural faction's joint conglomerate quickly stabilized the situation! The remaining targeted explosions to introduce external forces... were also disrupted!

This was actually expected. Europe has a history of over a thousand years, and while the Dark Ages were a disaster for ordinary people, they were also an era in which supernatural powers were extremely active. Therefore, it was only natural that plans in France, England, and other key locations would be thwarted.

As for Romania, which had the best chance of success, it also failed because of the creator of the Maeve Manufacturing.

If the previous plans failed to be achieved, it would be difficult to proceed with the third objective...

No, now is not the time to continue with our own plans.

Instead, they should be thinking about how to overcome the current difficulties... According to intelligence, the Wallfacers, the Foundation, and even Kassel College have begun sabotaging American Federation bases around the world! And these are all hidden bases that are not officially recorded!

Therefore, even if they were targeted, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it!

But how did external forces know so precisely about those outposts? Morgan narrowed his eyes:

—There is a traitor among us.

And then there's the mastermind behind Maeve Manufacturing... Come to think of it, the American Federation has suffered quite a few setbacks at his hands recently.

Just then,

There was a knock on the door.

Morgan composed himself and said, "Please come in."

But when he saw who came in, his pupils suddenly contracted!! Third update, thank you all for your support these past few days... I was planning to do four updates today, but it's already 2:30 AM... By the time the next update comes out, it will be dawn... I'm going to sleep now, I'll finish it tomorrow during the day. Hope you all enjoy reading. Also, to Wulong, Cat Master, and Otaku, Duo Duo Meng has created a group chat for alliance leaders, do you want to join? If you want to join, contact me if you see this... because I've been teased to tears because I can't reach you guys, hahaha.
