"Perfect!"

In the Zuo Household's top-secret room, Zuo Quan mouth.

After a point of purple light appeared on the horizon, Zuo Quan muttered something to himself for a long time.

He was finally satisfied.

A single tree cannot stand alone; together we can form a forest. If one cannot excel on its own, then developing as a group is the right approach.

His eyes gleamed with indescribable excitement; he felt he had found a perfect way to grow a forest by joining forces.

The members of the Sequence Committee are all extremely powerful, making it difficult to tamper with them. However, it's much easier to target lower-sequence groups.

Generally speaking, low- Sequence Holder are of little value.

However, the Sequence Committee recently made a disastrous decision, allowing younger, lower- Sequence Holder to join the Sequence Committee as alternate members.

Although they may seem to be just alternates, there is at least a 60% chance that these people will become official members of the order of appointment in the future.

These people constitute an extremely powerful social force, and will inevitably have a profound impact on the future Scarlet Alliance State.

If one can befriend or even control these people when they are weak, it would undoubtedly be a brilliant move to plan ahead.

Zuo Quan finds it inconvenient to interact with these people, but Zuo Teng has no problem.

By making contact with and gaining control of each individual, Zuo Quan became certain that he would be able to amass an extremely powerful force to carry out his plans.

"Unless His Majesty intervenes, none of you can escape my Heart-Stealing Heart Incantation!"

People naturally seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Being near someone brings good luck and comfort, while being near others can lead to arguments or even being targeted. Any normal person knows how to make the right choice.

Zuo Quan's curse wasn't particularly powerful, but it could indeed have a huge impact, and over time, it could even truly influence a dynasty.

"Unfortunately, Ba'erbo, Ba'ermo... who?"

Zuo Quan murmured to himself, lamenting that he was too slow and it took too long to act alone. His gaze suddenly turned to a wall.

"Zuo Teng? Come here!"

The walls were ordinary, but Zuo Quan felt there was something fishy about them. He scanned them back and forth with his eyes, then exclaimed.

"Don't even think about running away. If you run one step and fall, run ten steps and fall ten times, your heart will pound so hard you can barely stand it. You can only return to normal if you come back to me!"

Zuo Quan sternly rebuked him, then issued a loud warning.

He exhaled and exhaled, and the purple mist reappeared.

Zuo Teng's distorted face appeared amidst the mist.

Zuo Quan pointed, and the dark shadows instantly swallowed Zuo Teng's distorted face.

He waited for five minutes, then heard the doorbell ring. Zuo Quan frowned, then used the remote control to open the electronic door.

Zuo Teng's figure appeared behind the door.

At this moment, Zuo Teng was covered in blood from his nose, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

His agility and strength were completely useless; he would stumble and fall with just one step. His reactions when defending himself were no different from those of an ordinary person, and he would fall and be completely disoriented.

After running more than ten steps, Zuo Teng was already feeling quite disoriented from the fall.

He was walking on normal flat ground, but every time he took a step, his body would inexplicably twist, causing him to fall to the ground.

Moreover, Zuo Teng's heart rate was extremely high; his face was flushed so much that his heart was almost about to jump out of his chest.

He only returned to normal when he went back to the room where Zuo Quan was.

"It seems you've been eavesdropping on me. What methods are you using to monitor me?"

Zuo Quan frowned and looked at Zuo Teng. He hadn't expected that his tricks would actually get Zuo Teng to reveal himself.

"Why are you listening to me?" Zuo Quan shouted.

"I was just... just checking the layout of the house," Zuo Teng said through gritted teeth. "Zuo Denggao has installed a lot of surveillance cameras in the house. I just found one outside, and then I heard your voice. After that, I kept tripping and my heart kept racing."

"Why didn't you just come over?" Zuo Quan frowned. "Instead, you thought of running away after hearing my voice?"

"I misjudged the person and the situation. I thought Zuo Denggao was trying to sabotage and intimidate me, and that I wanted to go to North Rehe to cause him trouble!"

"Oh!"

Zuo Quan murmured something, his hand controlling the dark space that Zuo Teng couldn't see clearly, while he breathed out a misty vapor.

Without the corresponding ability, Zuo Teng could not clearly see the operations he was performing with his own eyes, and the surveillance and monitoring that presented a realistic picture were not complete.

Modern technology has brought some troubles, but it's not as useful as we imagined.

No matter how others investigate or monitor him, Zuo Quan believes he is difficult to see through.

He slowly stood up and approached Zuo Teng, reaching out his right hand to pinch Zuo Teng's chin, staring into Zuo Teng's slightly fearful eyes.

Zuo Quan disliked Zuo Teng's unstable nature. Zuo Teng possessed certain abilities and ambitions, and was also highly alert, making him a potential source of trouble. Expelling Zuo Teng from the family was the safest and most reliable solution.

However, the thought of needing to rely on Zuo Teng to contact the many young alternate committee members made Zuo Quan abruptly stop his plans.

Furthermore, his relationship with Zuo Teng as father and son is difficult to sever. If Zuo Quan were to expel Zuo Teng from the family or even kill him, it would inevitably cause all sorts of trouble.

For Zuo Quan, he also needs a legitimate successor.

"Take down the surveillance cameras you found!"

Zuo Quan's gaze shifted as he watched Zuo Teng. Finally, he slowly lowered his right hand, which was gripping Zuo Teng's chin, and gestured towards Zuo Teng.

He watched as Zuo Teng walked toward the suspicious wall. Zuo Teng used a little force to remove the switch box that controlled the wall lamp, and then took out a bunch of electronic components mixed with red and yellow wires.

"Is this what's monitoring me?" Zuo Quan asked, frowning.

"Yes!"

How did you know this thing was hidden under the switch box?

"I checked the software detection; after the intrusion, it connected to this monitor and took over control of Zuo Denggao!"

After being asked several times, Zuo Quan snorted coldly a few times.

He took the surveillance camera that Zuo Teng had dismantled, casually threw it on the ground, and stomped on it, crushing the rather sophisticated camera into pieces.

"Use your inspection software to thoroughly check every part of the house. I want to see real results!"

Zuo Quan pointed outside the door, signaling Zuo Teng to get to work quickly.

"I will definitely find all the things Zuo Denggao got his hands on!"

Zuo Teng felt a chill run down his spine, but quickly nodded.

He lowered his head slightly, then bowed and took a few steps back. When Zuo Quan did not object, and his heart did not race or he did not fall, Zuo Teng also left the room with a trembling expression.

"I didn't realize you cared so much about Zuo Teng; you've actually been consciously influencing my malicious thoughts and actions towards him!"

Zuo Teng left the room, Zuo Quan couldn't help but snort coldly.

He tapped the right side of his head with his finger and muttered something to himself.

It's a bit strange for someone to talk to themselves, but when two consciousnesses are clashing in one's head, it's not surprising that they might talk to themselves in what feels like two people sharing one body.

As long as they need each other's memories, this influence will inevitably exist within them, and it's a problem they can't solve no matter what they do.

He had previously considered killing Zuo Teng, but this idea clashed violently with him.

Even if Zuo Quan wanted to expel Zuo Teng from the family, there was corresponding resistance to this idea.

Zuo Quan cursed under his breath; he was clearly very dissatisfied with his current situation.
