The Saber King looked travel-worn, his clothes torn in several places, showing signs of a fierce battle.
"No wonder you're so confident in him," the Saber King said first.
The old man said in a deep voice, "It's not that I'm confident, but since the World Will has chosen him, it means he must have something worthwhile about him."
After a moment of silence, the Saber King said, "For decades, I have been striving to become the Chosen One. I know that the person you have in mind has always been Yao Yuan."
"But I want to prove to you that I am the most suitable Chosen One."
"I've been cultivating relentlessly, breaking through to the Level Nine, but even so, you haven't acknowledged me, and the World Will hasn't chosen me."
"To be honest, I don't understand. What makes me unsuitable to Chosen One?"
The old man spoke first, "Do you know where you fall short compared to Yao Yuan?"
The Saber King shook his head.
The old man replied, "No matter what, Yao Yuan always sees further and is more decisive than you."
The Saber King laughed, "Then do you know where Yao Yuan falls short compared to him?"
The difference lies in having a perpetually passionate and fervent heart.
Before tonight, the Saber King had never seen a martial artist sacrifice their Source of Life to an ordinary person.
On this point, the Saber King admitted defeat.
Qin Ze truly deserves the Chosen One.
The old man was taken aback.
He had never considered these things.
In his view, the first essential quality of Chosen One is a wise mind, followed by talent and ability.
Yao Yuan possesses both of these qualities.
This is why he has such high hopes for Brother Yuanzi.
The Saber King said calmly, "In terms of mental fortitude, I am far inferior to him, and so is Yao Yuan."
The old man sighed silently.
Is it your state of mind?
So this is the standard by which the World Will selects its Chosen One?
"This trip has settled my heart's desires; I'm returning to the Abyss."
"Our Chosen One has impressive talent; he broke through to level two in just one month."
"But he's still an infant, I need to buy him more time."
After saying that, the Saber King turned and left, leaving a trail of shallow footprints on the thick snow.
The Saber King looked up at the Ice Tree and smiled, "It seems you've truly chosen a remarkable person; even such a stubborn fellow has acknowledged him."
Swish Swish Swish--
The ice tree's crown swayed gently, appearing extremely joyful.
Damn it!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
The Virgo was furious upon returning home.
He ripped the roof off the villa.
Everything inside the house was smashed to pieces, leaving almost only the four walls standing.
Fishes, Ram, and Ma Yan watched his performance quietly from the side.
"Did you just have a fit of madness?"
Fishes scoffed.
Fishes was furious after almost getting killed by the Saber King tonight.
If Virgo reveals their action plan to him in advance, he absolutely will not allow it to happen.
"Roll!"
The Virgo's eyes are bloodshot, and his right arm is severed at the shoulder.
For Advanced Martial Artist, as long as their head and heart are intact, any other parts of their body that are lost can quickly regenerate.
But at this moment, the wound on Virgo's shoulder was ravaged by the aura of a knife.
Although fleshy buds kept growing, they were shredded by the blade energy in the blink of an eye.
It can be said that Virgo are constantly enduring pain.
He supported himself on the table with one hand, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Ma Yan couldn't stand it any longer and raised his hand to flick out a green light.
The green light shone on the wound, finally calming down the raging sword energy somewhat.
"As expected of Level Nine Martial Artist."
" Saber King, the day I break through to Level Nine will be the day of your death."
Virgo held a grudge.
Pisces asked, "Why do you draw power from the earth?"
The Virgo glanced at him and said, "What's it to you?"
Fishes teased, "You're not planning to save this for your next breakthrough, are you?"
"Using public office for private gain"
"If I report this to the chairman, what will he think?"
"You dare!" Virgo glared, her imposing aura radiating.
Fishes, however, remained as steady as a rock.
At this moment, Virgo, in his severely injured state, poses no real threat to him.
"I don't have to say."
"But I don't want to see tonight's incident happen again."
Virgo gritted his teeth. "No."
Fishes said in a deep voice, "So from now on, you have to tell us about every step of your plan."
"We are not your subordinates, much less your dogs."
" The Lion sent me here to coordinate with your operation."
Ram suddenly raised his right hand. "Um... can I chime in?"
The Virgo said coldly, "You've already inserted it."
Ram scratched his head awkwardly. "I wasn't actually sent by Lion. I was just passing through Sea Capital and stopped by for a casual visit."
This guy's meaning is quite clear.
Your mission is none of my business, so don't implicate me even if you fail in the end.
Virgo glared at Ram, then said to Fishes, "I'll tell you."
Next, Virgo walked towards the villa next door.
Fishes asked his retreating figure, "So, what's your next move?"
"I want to know how you will overthrow Sea Capital, and overthrow the entire continent."
The next morning, at the company reception.
"We want to see the deputy manager."
Qin Ze tapped on the table.
Behind him was a professional team of four.
The fat man had a bulging sack on his shoulder.
The young receptionist, on her first day at work, warily eyed the suspicious group of people in front of her.
Do you have an appointment?
"No, but if you tell him my Qin Ze, he will definitely see me."
The receptionist immediately made a phone call.
"Yes, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the young girl came out.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the reception room."
Ten minutes later, the deputy manager hurriedly entered the meeting room.
"I'm so sorry everyone, I was in a very important meeting just now."
Qin Ze shook his head. "It's alright."
"We're here today about the mission."
The deputy manager sat down and said, "You want to abandon the mission, is that it?"
"The school has already told me that this is a level 5 mission."
"It's our fault for not providing accurate information the first time, which dragged you into danger."
"I will explain the situation to the school and ask them not to deduct your merit points..."
Qin Ze interrupted him, "You've misunderstood. Our mission is complete. We're here today to confirm something with you."
The deputy manager looked utterly astonished. "The mission... is complete?"
Qin Ze nodded. "Yes."
The deputy manager was extremely excited, gesturing wildly and even becoming incoherent in his speech.
"Your mission was to bring Fan Mingjie to see me, and you were only Level One Martial Artist... I mean, did you really manage to do it?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "We did bring Fan Mingjie, and you can meet him face to face."
"However, the way we meet will be a little different from what you expected."
The deputy manager said, "It's alright, as long as I can see him, your mission will be accomplished."
Qin Ze snapped his fingers, "Show Brother Jie to the manager."
With a "plop," the fat man threw the sack in front of the deputy manager.
