Chapter 768 - Stronghold 176 (2/2)
Meanwhile, the clone named Qing Shen did not seem to have any unnecessary emotions in him.
At least, Luo Lan did not notice any mood fluctuations from him.
“What other information did you find out?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Someone also verified that White Mask is your power and that you can summon it like a puppet to take on the T5 combatants head on.” The Great Hoodwinker said, “Rumor has it that someone’s gonna rank all the superhumans. I believe that you’ll be ranked very highly. However, they still don’t know your identity.”
In reality, when the Great Hoodwinker talked about this, he was pretty much understating it. However, the reaction in the black market to this information was quite huge, because this news meant yet another extremely powerful individual had appeared in the world of superhumans.
If they also knew Ren Xiaosu was the Stronghold Destroyer, this information would probably shock them even further. When the Great Hoodwinker bought this information, he even felt a little regretful. Because the simpletons at the black market had absolutely no idea how incredible his future commander was.
The Great Hoodwinker said to Ren Xiaosu, “Another piece of information I found out concerns Wang Yun. He got locked up after only being the director of the intelligence agency for one day…. Hahahahaha…” The Great Hoodwinker even started gloating at Wang Yun’s misfortune. He laughed for such a long time he couldn’t stop.
After five minutes, Ren Xiaosu looked at the Great Hoodwinker expressionlessly. “That’s enough.”
The Great Hoodwinker finally restrained himself when his face started to hurt. “Ahem, I’m sorry, I couldn’t control my emotions for a moment. I have to rush to the Kong Consortium immediately. I can’t really leave Wang Yun to die in the Kong Consortium’s secret prison. I’ll think of a way to get him out. It’d be such a tragedy if such a talented man does not get to participate in the development of the Northwest. Now that the time is ripe…”
“Mhm, go ahead then, but don’t force yourself if you can’t do it. Not just anyone can break into the Kong Consortium’s main stronghold as they like. If you really can’t figure out a way to save him, I’ll go to the Kong Consortium with you after I finish my business with the Wang Consortium.” In fact, Ren Xiaosu also felt that Wang Yun was talented. If someone like him could contribute to the development of the Northwest, it would definitely be a good thing
Although he kept saying he would only consider whether to go to the Northwest in the future, the Great Hoodwinker kept going on about the Prosperous Northwest every day and even kept calling him “Future Commander” in private until he started thinking about the Northwest unknowingly.
The Great Hoodwinker nodded and got up. He looked at everyone. “I don’t know when we’ll meet again after this farewell. The road is long and the world is vast, so let’s part ways.”
Everyone was about to go their separate ways, but this was what the world of adults was like. Everyone was just a passerby in each other’s journey in life, and no one could turn back on that long, winding path.
Although they were comrades once, they still had to get back to their own interests after the battle. Although the Qing Consortium and the Northwest had a rather close relationship, they were still not family.
When they met again in the future, no one knew whether it would be as enemies or friends.
Luo Lan nodded. “Let’s part ways. I hope the Qing Consortium and the Northwest will never have to be in conflict!”
The Great Hoodwinker said, “Oh yeah, there’s something else that I forgot about. Apparently, the nomadic tribes in the North have started heading south and will arrive at Stronghold 176 quite soon. But that’s not exactly a big problem. Stronghold 176 should be able to hold them off in the North.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the clone, Qing Shen, smiled and said, “That might not be the case.”
The Great Hoodwinker looked at Qing Shen. “What do you mean?”
“Stronghold 176 is different from your Stronghold 178. You all have abundant resources and no consortiums around to hinder you, but Stronghold 176 is different. Ten years ago, the other consortiums cut off their support to them, and it’s been quite difficult for them since then.” Qing Shen said with a smile, “We can only hope the uninvited guests from the steppe are weaker this time. Otherwise, Stronghold 176 might just end up fading into history.”
