"How strong is the First Faction, exactly? Don't tell me every one of them is a First Sequence leader."
Lin Feng spoke half in jest.
He didn't believe it for a second. If the First Faction was that strong, what was the point of fighting? He might as well pack up and go home!
Luo Yingtian laughed. "Of course not. You think people that powerful grow on trees?"
"Don't worry about that. The First Faction isn't as far beyond your reach as you imagine."
Lin Feng smiled faintly at that, but a moment later, Luo Yingtian changed his tune.
"Still, while there aren't that many, I know of three to five people there with leader-level strength..."
Lin Feng froze, then frowned.
"That many?"
Come on. He'd just said they didn't grow on trees, but this sounded close enough!
"Yes. Like I said, the First Faction is far too close to Zero."
"Certain resources and special missions are handled by the First Faction, or assigned through them."
"It's no secret that the First Faction has several fighters at the Leader Level."
"Those leader-level fighters are probably there to fill vacancies when a faction unexpectedly loses its leader."
"For instance, if you kill the three Joseph brothers and Shorty, the First Faction will probably send in replacements."
"But even replacing them comes at a steep cost, and it will still shake the Black Robes' overall stability."
"So what you need to do is find a reason that leaves the First Faction with no grounds to object."
Luo Yingtian shook his head regretfully as he spoke. "You haven't been a leader for long. Otherwise, you'd know all this already."
Lin Feng felt numb listening to him. He almost wanted to curse.
"I have to keep them quiet? Joseph and the others started it!"
