Chapter 333: Unraveling Intel
by xennovel“How did you know?!”
“Yenir?! Where did you get that intel?!”
He struggled to regain his focus.
Fang Hao shuddered all over, a grave expression flickering in his eyes.
A Third-Stage Peak Sea Beast?!
Though he rarely clashed with such creatures, compared to most military commanders, he had delved into deeper knowledge.
Unlike mutated beings on land, Sea Beasts were nearly indestructible, thanks to their colossal size and terrifying Spirit Energy reserves.
These monsters were, by nature, tantamount to siege mutations, theoretically one of the biggest threats to the Safe Zone!
The other three commanders were tied up with important matters, guarding the borders—Fang Hao alone might not be enough!
After all, among beings of the same stage, mutated life forms naturally outweighed Awakeners. Even if his combat power surpassed his peers, he couldn’t boast absolute confidence!
Seeing Fang Hao unable to hold back his questions, Yenir remained silent for a moment before calmly replying:
“No comment.”
“Uncle Fang, trust me. I have no reason to lie to you.”
“Don’t bring the Demon-Hunting Team. The situation is even worse than I anticipated—we have no choice but to abandon the East Sea.”
Beneath his calm exterior, Yenir let out a silent sigh.
He truly couldn’t reveal the truth.
The Sea Beast had been drawn in by Fang Teng’s Mother and that man. What could he say? He knew the beast would return—it was the nature of his rebirth.
Combined, once the Military caught wind of these details, Yenir could almost predict that they would swiftly deduce his true intentions.
Yes, saving the Huaxia Battle Zone was right.
But it meant that many lives would be lost.
Treasonous, traitorous, corrupt, secretive, colluding both inside and out…
Which one among them wouldn’t be frightened? Who wouldn’t think of striking preemptively? Rebirth meant foreknowledge of the future—and knowing everyone’s secrets! Even if Yenir claimed ignorance, none of these people would trust him! They’d never dare to!
And as for Yenir being able to prevent the disaster?!
Never!
These parasites wouldn’t survive on their own; they cared nothing for the future. They’d even seize the chance to escape with supplies before the catastrophe fully erupted!
A jolt hit his heart.
Inside the Maze, Fang Hao listened to the somber tone in Yenir’s voice, feeling an inner turmoil rising.
Believe him or not?!
Involuntarily, he recalled that over ten days ago, Yenir had requested him to lead troops to the vicinity of the East Sea for a mission. Though he never spelled it out, in hindsight it was clear that Yenir had planned everything from the start!
Was it already impossible to deploy forces to secure the East Sea?
What else does Yenir know? What exactly is happening there?!
In an instant, Fang Hao’s mind raced—and despite himself, he began to believe a little.
After a long silence, Fang Hao slowly closed his eyes, then reopened them and exhaled deeply:
“Yenir, I still have to go.”
“The Military’s orders are absolute—even as a commander I can’t openly defy them. And even if I could, defying would only hurt you.”
“I’ll be careful about what you mentioned.”
“You… you must take extra caution yourself.”
“Understood.”
…………
The call disconnected.
The howling wind seemed to lose some of its fury.
Looking at the blue fireballs that had dissipated in the distance, with thick smoke resembling post-nuclear dust continuously rising to cover the sky.
Under the dark sky, Yenir’s eyes flickered as he pondered, as if carved from stone.
Fang Hao’s side had already been briefed; all that remained was to follow through with the plan.
Within six hours, the Capital would likely erupt in another round of ‘internal strife.’
If nothing unexpected happened, those plotting against him—those fearful of his power—would seize this perfect opportunity to launch their assault.
“Don’t be timid…”
“I even blew up the East Sea… With such a perfect excuse to attack me, you all mustn’t be afraid…”
“Come out, and show me who’s behind this…”
Muttering under his breath, Yenir let out a cold laugh as he directly opened Zhao Long’s private message.
Within six hours, as long as the leaders led by Lu Tianming weren’t fools, they would naturally attack him in a frenzy. Especially those lurking in the background, waiting for a chance to strike—these useless vermin would surely unite in a coordinated assault.
To be honest, even Yenir found the situation somewhat absurd.
The absurdity of human nature was truly staggering.
“It’s time to end this…”
“If they’re so eager to jump in, let’s pull out the list together.”
“Rather than enduring their disgust later, it’s better to put them in their place once and for all…”
“In a way, that’s a good thing.”
Noticing his communication device light up, Yenir spoke without hesitation:
“Uncle Zhao, record a list for me.”
“Once I return to the Capital, I’ll put it to use.”
…………
Fifteen minutes later.
With a smile on his face, Yenir looked at Liang Lie standing before him.
“Uncle Liang, has the Capital ordered you to act?”
In a rare moment of hesitation, Liang Lie, who usually wore the expression of a withered middle-aged man, silently nodded.
Yes.
The Military had lost its patience.
Under mounting pressure and accusations, Li Xuanguo had no choice but to issue new orders.
Yenir would no longer receive protection.
His Level-A access revoked and his committee position stripped.
In other words, Uncle Liang was no longer his guardian.
Yet facing Liang Lie, who was preparing to execute the orders, Yenir, utterly defenceless, only spoke softly, looking the older man squarely in the eyes:
“Uncle Liang, give me six hours.”
“In six hours, everything will be different.”
