Bones and Meat

Hearing the speech from Nightless Sky Huo Ming, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot sighed again.

"My dear sister, I think you've misunderstood... I wasn't questioning your or your team's abilities."

"Indeed, although the 'Creator' succeeded in his sneak attack, now that you, Sister Huo Ming, are prepared, it's not impossible to find and arrest him... But what a price that would have to pay."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spoke, her tone held a hint of persuasion.

However, Nightless Sky Huo Ming, who was already considered half a Great Wilderness People, didn't buy into that.

"This is a great achievement... therefore, any price is acceptable."

"Besides, we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway—and besides, our place has been wrecked by the 'Creator,' I can't swallow this insult until we get our revenge!"

"If word gets to the other two families, how will I ever be able to work in the Great Wilderness?!"

Hearing the stubborn words of Nightless Sky Huo Ming, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot couldn't help but sigh.

Dongming Shuliu, standing to the side, understood the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's words.

"Boss, I feel that Lord Nightless Sky Fire Apricot has a better suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"

Upon hearing Dongming Shuliu's words, Nightless Sky Huo Ming turned to Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

"Oh... yes, Fire Apricot, is there something you want to say?"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot nodded. "Yes, dear Sister Huo Ming... Do I look like the type who advises you not to fight the 'Creator' because he's difficult to deal with?"

"I'm not considering the 'difficulty,' but rather the 'cost-effectiveness'... Right now, there are far more important things than hunting down the Creator and the two he abducted."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Ming became somewhat impatient. "What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"

"Take over the Outpost and several large strongholds of the 'Divine Power Group' and the 'Universal Trade Association' near us," said Nightless Sky Fire Apricot with a smile. "Right now, due to the Alchemy Turbulence, the 'communication' signal across the entire Great Wilderness is weak, and the connection between various stations is also weak. This is the perfect time to make our move."

Nightless Sky Huo Ming looked at Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, a look of horror appearing on his face.

Although she had spent a lot of time with Nightless Sky Fire Apricot during this period and had gradually realized that her younger sister was essentially mentally unstable and often acted in an extreme manner, but...

Thinking that Nightless Sky Fire Apricot is the "Fairy Queen," Nightless Sky Huo Ming has always felt that this is quite normal.

After all, I work in the Great Wilderness and my style is considered rather unrestrained.

But this time, upon hearing Nightless Sky Fire Apricot had just said...

For the first time Nightless Sky Huo Ming had the thought, "Isn't this going a bit too far?"

She looked at Nightless Sky Fire Apricot and spoke.

"At this critical juncture... launching an attack on their strongholds and Outpost, even with communications cut off, would be no different from a direct declaration of war, would it?"

Is this really a good idea?

"Even if we can accept those places immediately and expand our sphere of influence... what about the consequences?"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot laughed, "Don't worry, Sister Huo Ming, now we have every right to attack!"

"Legitimate and justified?"

"Nightless Sky Huo Ming asked in return," he countered.

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot nodded. "Yes... because we're not there to start a war, but to clean up the mess."

"The Universal Trade Association and the Soren family just released a statement denouncing 'Supreme Evolution,' defining the Remnants of 'Supreme Evolution' as a 'strategic objective'—we're responding to the Solence Family's call."

Upon hearing what Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said, Nightless Sky Huo Ming frowned.

"You mean we disguised this as something done by the 'Creator'...? The other two companies aren't stupid..."

As Nightless Sky Huo Ming spoke, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot sighed deeply.

"Sister Huo Ming, you still don't understand what I mean... The other two outposts and Outpost near us have really been attacked by the 'Creator'!"

"After he left us, he took the opportunity to raid the strongholds of the Three Great Corporations in the area—this is indeed a good time for us to take over them!"

"We don't need to prove whether the Creator did all this, we don't need to fabricate evidence or commit perjury, because it was truly done by the Creator and the Remnants 'Supreme Evolution'."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Ming finally realized what was going on.

"Holy crap... Is that even true? I'll have someone investigate right away to see if it's true!"

"No need, my team has already scouted the area," Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said earnestly. "Trust me... Sister Huo Ming, I won't harm you!"

"So, compared to the 'hard nut to crack' of the 'Creator'... the most important thing right now is, of course, to grab some meat."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said earnestly.

Nightless Sky Huo Ming nodded, forcing himself to get up from the chair.

"Alright, I believe you... Regardless of the current situation of either side's outposts or Outpost, as long as the 'Creator' has indeed taken action, then this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Let's go, Dongming Shuliu... Since there's no equipment damage and no casualties, have everyone line up and get dressed immediately. We're going to take over the territory."

"Even if we can't catch the 'Creator,' it's not bad to take our anger out on the other two major companies first."

"This Nightless Sky Huo Ming said," he explained.

Dongming Shuliu nodded, an excited expression on his face.

"Ah, it's been so long since I've had the chance to rob people so brazenly..."

Nightless Sky Huo Ming looked at Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

"Want to go together? Anyway, when it comes to 'selling' some of the stolen goods, I'll probably follow your 'Fairy Queen' route."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot shook her head. "No thanks, Sister Huo Ming, I have other things to do..."

"A message just came back from the Outer City; the impact of this Alchemy Turbulence is wider than expected. There will likely be considerable unrest in the Outer City of the City That Never Sleeps —I need to go and deal with it."

"Yesterday we met the 'Creator,' Arthur said she was the murderer of Tennyson, which was an implicit admission from the Creator... I also need to tell Sister Huo Le about this so that President Paris can be exonerated as soon as possible."

Looking at Nightless Sky Huo Ming, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot grinned, "When did you become so responsible? I thought there would be some excitement this time, and you would definitely come along."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot waved her hand. "I wouldn't call it a sense of responsibility... If I had to say, it's just that I had to make changes."

She chuckled softly, then turned and walked towards the archives.

"Alright, Sister Huo Ming, you go ahead and get busy—I'll leave the Great Wilderness to you."

"I'll go chat with Arthur's companions for a bit first, then I'll head back to the City That Never Sleeps."
