Plotting

"We are all civilized people and must abide by Federation law. We cannot resort to violence over trivial matters... I hope you two gentlemen can help me expedite the paperwork for the Wireless Telegraph company so that we can hold a press conference in White Eagle City when Orchi's Wired Telegraph Company goes public on the stock exchange..."

Sulu took another sip of sweet wine and said in a calm voice.

Since Orchi used "legal" business methods to dilute and purchase his shares, he would deal with him in the same way.

"Your abilities in scientific research are truly..."

Dunstan was at a loss for words. Perhaps, the person opposite him was also a hidden [Arcanist] path cultivator?

"We can handle all the company registration and preliminary preparations."

After exchanging a glance with Siso, Dunstan agreed to Sulu's request.

"Thank you. Please submit the patents related to radio on my behalf, but please keep them confidential. Also, I will personally donate 30% of my Telegraph and Wireless Telegraph patents to the laboratory free of charge."

Sulu stood up. "Well then... I'll take my leave."

With a slight bow, his figure vanished into the void.

"This is..."

Siso's pale gray eyes flickered.

"Spirit World Travel!"

With a solemn expression, Dunstan uttered what Siso had left unsaid. "The opponent is a legendary-level Spirit World professional."

Such extraordinary beings can open the door connecting the Spirit World and reality with a mere flick of their wrist, creating terrible disasters. They are also extremely mysterious and their methods are incredibly bizarre.

Most importantly, the opponent also possesses this ability to travel through time, which even the ' Mist Lock ' cannot prevent!

"A troublesome professional who suddenly appeared."

Slayden sighed inwardly, "This world is becoming increasingly unfamiliar..."

Suddenly, he saw a burst of purple light spread out.

The surrounding space seemed to overlap, separating the two gentlemen from the office.

"It is a private meeting between the two gentlemen."

He thought for a moment, bowed, and withdrew.

Inside the purple barrier.

Siso glanced around listlessly. "That's enough..."

"Spirit World Travel, what a terrifying ability... Generally speaking, only high-ranking Spirit World beings possess it, it's very troublesome." In front of his own people, Dunstan frowned and frankly stated, "An uncontrollable power, if it were used for evil..."

"Dunstan, you're meddling too much. This world is resilient, and so is humanity... Don't try to control everything like the Federation; that will kill you."

Siso scoffed.

"But... in today's world, every Tier 5 professional deserves respect." Dunstan didn't continue, but instead asked, "What attitude do you think we should take towards him?"

"The other party... is very confident."

Siso said, "My intuition tells me that he, like me, is a very dangerous ' Assassin '!"

"Same as you?"

Dunstan was speechless. Siso followed the path of the [Assassin] class, starting as a first-tier [Thief], then a second-tier [Killer], a third-tier [Assassin], a fourth-tier [Shadow Assassin], and finally a fifth-tier [King of Assassins]! A being that makes all legendary Mage tremble with fear!

Sulu Potter clearly Spirit World professional, so why does he give Siso the same feeling?

Assassin and the Spirit World are clearly two different paths.

"This guy is very mysterious. Perhaps we need an astrologer to provide some clues."

Dunstan murmured, "After all... to achieve legendary status in just a few years is still too astonishing."

"Come on, you know yourself that's impossible... The fifth-tier class itself can already block and interfere with most divination, and those who specialize in divination and prophecy wouldn't dare to divine for a high-ranking Spirit World being... That would most likely anger the other party and lead to them chasing after you directly from the Spirit World!"

Siso said in a detached voice, "Unless X-13 is used!"

"That's even more impossible... We've all tested it; the Apocalypse has reached a very active stage. The Federation is still suffering the consequences of the last prophecy..."

Dunstan instinctively shook his head.

"So... the situation is quite simple!"

Siso shrugged. "Don't provoke them, it's that simple! I don't want another Tier 5 enemy, and neither do you, right?"

"Indeed..."

Dunstan's back seemed to hunch slightly. "What will this world ultimately become?"

Even a fifth-tier Dominator, a dominant force, still harbors many doubts about the world of the Dawn of Gods.

"For professionals like us, things will only get better."

Siso asserted, "And... have you noticed that Sulu Potter is a lone wolf? I sensed from his words that he was looking for a force to join."

"I've noticed that too. What do you think of the credibility of that claim?"

Dunstan's eyes lit up.

"There's no harm in giving it a try, is there?" Siso shrugged. "At least he's willing to maintain the 'rules of the game' on the surface, which is much better than organizations like the Ancient Serpent Society and the Black Death Society that only know how to overturn the table..."

"That's true..." Dunstan smiled, a hint of amusement in his voice.

As for spies and traitors? That's completely wishful thinking. Green Tree Castle keeps an eye on the geniuses of all the major powers, and it also has ways to detect the followers of Evil God and Demon, although it's a bit cumbersome.

"As a lone traveler at the fifth rank, my background is fairly clean, but I have a little secret. I imagine the Federation and Green Tree Castle would be very interested in me, right?"

On a rooftop, Sulu's figure appeared out of thin air, muttering to himself.

The so-called "Professional Registration Act" is a joke to the Fifth Order.

However, he did indeed have the idea of joining a certain faction.

At the lower levels, you're just cannon fodder. Once you join, you'll definitely be assigned a lot of work and subjected to all sorts of exploitation. You have to climb up the ladder with difficulty, layer by layer, which is why there's some resistance.

Now, no matter where you go, the other party must at least concede a large amount of benefits; this is a sign of respect for a legend!

Although they are not as trusted as the 'direct descendants,' they have all the same rights.

They go straight to the top, skipping a lot of the exploitation that happens at the bottom. The difference between going in and going out is huge.

"Furthermore... we can also access more classified information and, with their help, gather intelligence on Rhode..."

The fact that this older brother had been missing for so long made Sulu frown, and he thought of the Church of the Goddess of Light.

Given the clear evidence of a collaboration between the Church and the Federation during the last siege of Harris City, it's possible that Rhode was discovered by some unexpected means—such as his identity as an unbeliever, or even his fall from grace after suffering a major blow.

Thinking about it this way, among the major powers in the Federation, Green Tree Castle is the most suitable choice for me.
