When Number One learned of the young man's experience, he felt much regret.
They could have formed an excellent partnership.
But the young man had made another choice.
Number One could only be grateful that they had not tried to seize his treasure by force.
At the beginning, the guy himself did not seem to possess any special power.
Only that Golden Apple had healing abilities.
But they had chosen to respect his decision.
In truth, he wanted to send a signal to the other Supernatural Beings.
"Even a Golden Apple this precious wasn't taken from you. You can set your minds at ease."
They were using this guy as an example to win over others.
"As long as you abide by the existing order and do not cause trouble, the Special Events Management Bureau will accept you and permit your existence."
It could be said that this approach quickly took effect.
Their strategy was to first reduce their potential enemies and isolate those who disrupted order.
After all, most people who obtained Supernatural Items went through a period of adjustment.
Many only wanted to get rich. Only after they had enjoyed themselves enough would they develop other ideas.
That process would take at least a year.
That was the time they needed to fight for.
After all, the apocalypse was coming. They needed time.
As for what came afterward, they would deal with it later.
They needed to concentrate their strength as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, after their in-depth investigation, they learned that the apocalypse arriving a year later referred to the worst-case scenario.

If they pushed things in the right direction, they could delay it.
