"What the hell does Tianhai getting stronger or weaker have to do with us? Can we stop going off-topic? That wasn't why we gathered everyone here today."
Xue Tinghai had no interest whatsoever in Tianhai's origins. Right now, he only wanted to deal with the External Ghost Faction's invasion.
Li Guanqi nodded in agreement and continued:
"Let's not talk about anything distant. Let's talk about what's right in front of us."
"Last night, our three branches suffered assassination attempts against their managers. I imagine your four branches will be facing major trouble next."
"This concerns our own safety and the survival of our branches. My point is, Tianhai may not care, but we do."
This gathering had primarily been called by Li Guanqi, Su Chenghe, and Xue Tinghai.
So the other managers still had no idea what exactly this meeting was meant to discuss.
Huangfu Jiajia was the first to ask:
"Then what do you want to do?"
Managers Li, Su, and Xue rose to their feet and said in unison:
"We take the initiative and investigate the External Ghost Faction."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Their expressions changed drastically as they fell into thought.
After a long while, Chen Jie said anxiously:
"Take the initiative? You aren't planning to wait for them to come to us, are you?"
Li Guanqi nodded heavily, pointed at Chen Jie, and explained in detail:
"After our three branches, your four major branches will definitely be next. I want to send people to keep watch over the coming period."
"It would be best if we could trap a ghost, then use Manager Luo's Nightmare Sin Item to uncover more information about the External Ghost Faction."
Tong Guan felt that this plan was not particularly reliable and could not help
