Chapter 912 Play the long game and catch big fish
Back then, Gu Yunlong was only able to barely create the illusion ring thanks to the wealthy and powerful Brotherhood.
Now that the Brotherhood no longer exists, how could he possibly have the ability to forge one again!
"Hey, okay!"
Zhou Meng felt a pang of regret.
The illusion ring is a great thing for staying at home and saving your life. If it weren't for it, Zhou Meng would never have been able to escape Su Chen's pursuit last time!
If I could have another one, my safety level would be greatly improved!
……
The base of the Watchers League.
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
He stood up and casually tossed the now dull and lifeless rough stone into the nearby trash can.
In the past few days, Su Chen has been staying at the Watchers base, busy handling political affairs.
He has already handed over all the rare and precious materials he obtained from Atlantis to Sun Jiancheng and Niu Mingxuan.
It must be said that Sun Jiancheng's talent in forging is truly second to none.
With just a little guidance from the Brotherhood's artifact crafters, he instantly grasped the essence.
Sun Jiancheng is now not only a spirit weapon master, but also an E-level spirit weapon master!
Having acquired sufficient materials, he and the artifact crafters began forging the Bloodsteel Blade.
The Bursting Bead and the Water Cannon of Atlantis are classified as D-grade and C-grade spiritual artifacts, respectively.
Su Chen originally planned to have Sun Jiancheng try to build it.
However, Sun Jiancheng told him that no matter how talented he was, he still needed to accumulate enough experience to create higher-level magical artifacts.
Otherwise, at best, materials will be lost, and at worst, even the creator's life will be in danger!
After understanding the situation, Su Chen gave up the idea and let Sun Jiancheng focus on forging the Blood Steel Blade!
As for Niu Mingxuan's side...
Having obtained so much material, we have now set about conducting research on the new reagent!
"Ling'er, Ling'er!"
Su Chen called out a few times, but there was no response.
He then remembered that Liu Ling'er, Lin Yingying, and the other girls had already accompanied Liu Guang to the Mingyuan base.
Although she was able to breathe freely on land, after a few days, Liuguang suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.
According to Lin Yingying's diagnosis, it was probably because Liuguang, who was originally an aquatic creature, had spent too much time on land.
For safety reasons, Su Chen asked Liu Ling'er and the others to take Meng Qi and accompany Liu Guang to stay at the seaside for a while.
Just then, the communicator on the table suddenly rang.
"Boss Su!"
Su Chen recognized Luo Xiaotian's voice.
"What's wrong, Xiao Luo?"
"Zhao Song drove all the way from Longcheng, saying he had important business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly.
What important matter is it that Zhao Song insists on meeting me?
Without much thought, he nodded.
"Take him to my office, I'm coming right now!"
"Yes, Boss Su!"
Su Chen put down the communicator and got up to leave the RV.
He soon arrived at his office, where Luo Xiaotian and Zhao Song were waiting.
"Boss Su!"
The two quickly and respectfully replied.
"Don't be shy, please sit down."
Su Chen waved his hand.
After the three of them were seated, Su Chen spoke calmly.
"Zhao Song, you are the vice president of the Brotherhood."
"Why did you abandon your post without my orders?"
Zhao Song glanced at Luo Xiaotian beside him, his expression somewhat hesitant.
"Speak your mind. Ronaldinho is one of the people I trust most!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiaotian didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt warm inside.
"Yes, Boss Su!"
Zhao Song no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice,
"Zhou Meng came to see me a few nights ago."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was slightly startled.
"You mean, he went to Dragon City to look for you?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Song briefly recounted his meeting with Zhou Meng.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Zhao Song.
"Why didn't you just report to Peng Jing and have Zhou Meng arrested?"
"Boss Su, you are wise!"
Zhao Song sensed danger and his heart sank. He quickly explained.
"I think that capturing Zhou Meng would not be of any real significance; it would only alert the enemy."
"So I pretended to agree to him in order to extract more information."
Su Chen did not respond, but stared intently at Zhao Song.
Those sharp, hawk-like eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts and reach the depths of their souls!
Zhao Song's breathing became rapid, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He said somewhat nervously,
"Boss Su, I...I am absolutely loyal to you, I really...that's what I think!"
Su Chen suddenly laughed.
"I know, you don't need to be nervous!"
"You did a great job. We need to play the long game!"
"Alright, you can go and rest now. I'll organize the men and head to Dragon City in a little while!"
Zhao Song breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.
"Then I'll head down first, Boss Su!"
After he pushed the door open and left, Su Chen looked at Luo Xiaotian.
"Xiao Luo, what do you think?"
"I feel that Zhao Song is not lying."
"I think so too."
Su Chen nodded slightly.
Not to mention that he gave Zhao Song saline solution as a form of intimidation, which was a slow poison.
Judging from Zhao Song's behavior alone, he doesn't seem to be lying.
Unless his acting was so convincing that even Su Chen was fooled.
However, for safety's sake, Su Chen decided to take some precautions.
"Wait, send a few clever men to follow Zhao Song closely, so he doesn't try anything funny!"
"No problem, Boss Su."
Luo Xiaotian nodded and then asked,
"So what do we do next?"
"Since Zhou Meng dared to come back, I think what he said is quite credible."
Su Chen stretched out his finger and gently tapped the table.
"We need to take our men and head to Dragon City immediately."
"We'll discuss the specifics when we get there!"
Who should we take with us?
Luo Xiaotian asked again.
This question put Su Chen in a bit of a dilemma.
The Watchers currently have three bases, which makes their forces too scattered.
If all the personnel from the main base were brought to Dragon City, the main base would be stretched thin.
"Fine, I'll take you guys with me."
Su Chen ultimately decided to take only Luo Xiaotian, Dang Han, Jiang Yu, and a few others, leaving a garrison force in Longcheng.
It is not too late.
After the two finished discussing, Luo Xiaotian immediately went to inform the people.
Su Chen first found Tong Fei, Chu Mengyao, and other women and told them that he was leaving.
He had only been back for a few days, and now he was leaving again; naturally, the girls were reluctant to see him go.
However, they knew the situation in Longcheng was urgent, so they didn't say much.
Su Chen then found Sun Jiancheng and took away all the blood steel blades that had already been forged.
I even took some time to visit the lab and took away a lot of reagents made by Niu Mingxuan.
After everything was prepared, Su Chen, along with Luo Xiaotian, Zhao Song, and the others, embarked on their journey to Dragon City.
