The commotion, despite its scale, attracted no one's attention. Strictly speaking, everyone was busily making their own preparations, and no one took this kind of disturbance to heart.
"This won't do..." Li Ziming was slightly troubled. After all, the ones who had definitely made sufficient preparations were his side and Kaido's side. If the other forces made preparations as well, he would have no way to obtain the greatest benefits. Li Ziming had to think of a way to make the various forces go to war. Only then could they reap the greatest rewards.
"Hey, Ming, are you busy right now..." Someone's arrival threw Li Ziming's plans into even greater disarray.
"Lucci?" Li Ziming stared at the person before him in surprise. "I heard that you seem to have withdrawn from—"
"Do you think it's that simple? I hold a great deal of the World Government's dark secrets. If I exposed them, even the World Government would probably have a headache..." Lucci did not seem eager to reveal his purpose. "The others still don't know. For now, you can consider it a deal between me and the World Government. We won't reveal any information related to the World Government, and I'll continue working for the World Government personally. In exchange, the others will be kept safe..."
"You haven't exposed yourself at all?" Li Ziming asked curiously. The others were all top-tier spies, yet they still hadn't discovered that Lucci continued to work for the World Government?
"I'm much better than they are..." Lucci sounded somewhat proud, but then he gave a bitter laugh. "To be honest, even if they found out, what could they do? It's like Rayleigh's deal back then. I just don't have the capital Rayleigh did. The most I can do is keep them alive. That's all.
