Candidates

"I... my true identity is actually a member of the resistance!"

Daniel knew the identities of Omega and the others, but he had no idea that Zhang Xuezhou and his group were from a different group.

Compared to Omega, Zhang Xuezhou and others undoubtedly lack fame and are not known to him abroad.

But seeing that Omega was honestly asking for help, Daniel couldn't help but start stammering about changing his identity to survive.

Being a neutral party is not easy, especially for Lineage located near Blanpeda.

The civil war in the Aomeijia Alliance was raging, but few people came forward to say, "I am a rebel, and I will lead everyone to overthrow the parliament."

Many of the Lineage that launched the attacks with firearms remained hidden behind the scenes, and those who were brought to the forefront were not the true manipulators.

This group also included those Sequence Holder supported the Montes Lineage. With the Montes Lineage's permission, they conducted investigations, which often resulted in fights. Some Lineage even took advantage of the chaos to plunder and annex weaker Lineage.

In such chaos, it's not easy to be a neutral party.

And whichever side has the upper hand, Daniel is willing to immediately kowtow and worship.

He understood what was going on and immediately chose a side.

Of course, for Daniel and others, the side they choose at this moment does not represent their final choice.

If the situation reverses, he can very firmly become a member of the Allied forces.

But no one paid any attention to Daniel. Zhang Xuezhou was listening to Omega's conversation with Gnaus and was also preparing to speak with Gnaus.

What are you planning to do?

When Zhang Xuezhou took the communicator, Grenas's calm voice came through it.

"The compensation offered to us by the Aomeijia Alliance is too low," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "We've thought about it and decided it's better to cooperate with the rebels!"

"Who did you negotiate with? How much did they give you?" Grenas asked with interest. "We still don't know who the initial instigators of the rebellion were, so there's no point in talking!"

Does it matter who you negotiate with?

Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile.

"How can this not be important?" Genus replied with a surprised look, "Without a leader, how can you be sure their payment is valid... Wait!"

Grenas asked several questions in succession, then suddenly realized what was going on.

Just as the British Alliance State couldn't distinguish who the real rebels were and could attack whoever they caught, the Scarlet Alliance State clearly didn't care who the rebel leader was either.

Once the Scarlet Alliance State, that person can become the leader of the rebels.

Once the rebel leader gains nominal sovereignty over the Aomeijia Alliance, he can fulfill the promises made in the deal.

Compared to Naggs and his group who were only trying to fleece small amounts, Zhang Xuezhou and his group seemed to be looking to fleece the Montes Lineage for much more.

"Do you have any reliable information over there?" Naggs asked in a low voice. "Actually, we also hope to cooperate with the rebels!"

"You've made an agreement with the Montes Lineage, so it might be difficult to break it, right? Besides, the high- Sequence Holder from the Thousand Islands Alliance should have joined as well," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"Their Lineage is about to be wiped out. I now seriously doubt their ability to fulfill the agreement. This doesn't count as a breach of contract," Naggs said. "As for the Thousand Islands Alliance, let's not even talk about them. Those people don't even dare to leave their homes alone. They can only assist Clark and his group in the clearing and counterattacks!"

"Would you like to join us and play?"

Zhang Xuezhou extended the invitation, and Nags on the other end of the communicator agreed in less than two seconds.

There's no harm in agreeing to cooperate with Zhang Xuezhou; Nags can still carry out sweeps as an ally. If Zhang Xuezhou and his group can establish a firm foothold, he can even cooperate to turn the tables and wipe out the Montes Lineage.

If things don't go well, there's no loss; if they do, there's huge profit.

This also avoids conflict Sequence Holder the British Alliance State and the Scarlet Alliance State.

The situation was so perfect that Naggus couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

As for the Montes Lineage's revenge, that's another matter entirely; the Scarlet Alliance State must have possessed valuable information to dare to take the lead.

"What are your people planning to do?" Naggs asked. "How should we coordinate?"

"We're quite far away, and only a portion of the advance team has arrived so far. We still need to wait for reinforcements," Zhang Xuezhou said. "We plan to declare the occupation of Blanpeda City once everyone has arrived, and then deliver a national televised address to establish a new parliament!"

"Aren't you going to pull out the nails?" Naggus asked.

"You'll lead the way, and we'll handle the rest," Zhang Xuezhou assured him. "Steel, Clark, Arthur—we'll take care of them all. We'll wipe out the Montes Lineage!"

"Become!"

Nags gave a brief reply, indicating that he had no problem acting as an inside man, and that he could also help if the Scarlet Alliance State needed assistance.

"Who are you planning to choose for the position?" Nagos asked. "I have some minor engagements to attend to recently and would like to travel around a bit. I can't let them interfere with your plans!"

"The person we need must possess Sixth Sequence strength, have a certain prestige, Lineage influence, and some ambition, but not be a direct descendant of the Montes Lineage," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Whether this person is male or female, old or young, is not important!"

"Your requirements are too low; there are many candidates who fit your criteria!"

Nags was having a headache dealing with Zhang Xuezhou's demands.

Zhang Xuezhou's requirement seems very specific, but there are at least a hundred Lineage leaders in the Aomeijia Alliance who meet the requirements.

These Lineage were also targets of Naggs's machinations.

For example, the Grian Lineage, whom he attacked at this time, fits the requirements.

"The Grian Lineage is fine too. We can choose Grian. You can communicate with Grian and see if he can cooperate. If he can't, we'll choose someone else!"

After hearing Naggus's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the sly Daniel and couldn't help but ask a follow-up question.

"He'll definitely cooperate; he's practically banging his head against my knees right now!"

Nagos responded, indicating that Grian, whom he had attacked, had been captured and was now begging for his life.

As was Naggs's usual practice, he would have a close and friendly conversation with Grean, then extract all the Lineage's important genetic resources and wealth that could be taken away, before handing the man over to the Montes Lineage.

As for what will happen to Grean and his Lineage members afterward, that is not what Nagoth cares about.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's demand for people, Nags immediately agreed.

He continued to exploit the wealth, while the people were handed over to the Scarlet Alliance State.

With it confirmed that Grean would be supported by the Scarlet Alliance State to become the puppet Grand Council Speaker, Nagos's next steps became easier.

The two chatted on the communicator, while Daniel and Omega, who were standing nearby, listened with expressions that changed repeatedly, completely bewildered as to how such an important matter had been decided so casually.

Of course, what Zhang Xuezhou and Naggus said was all good news.

Daniel doesn't need to worry about his life right now, his father Gregon's life is also spared, and Omega will be released unconditionally.

If what Zhang Xuezhou said in the communication is true, the Grean Lineage might even have a chance to rise to the top, and the British Alliance State could extort huge profits from the Montes Lineage.
