Chapter 1833: Chapter 441: War Breaks Out!
The standoff between Deep Sea and Turing entered a brief state of silence after the warrant was issued.
Thirty years have passed.
The power of this warrant is far less than it once was...
But it does not mean the warrant’s influence is zero.
When Deep Sea completed its connection to the five continents, every message it sent out in an "official" capacity would garner a significant following. Because the Empress and Bai Shu had perceived something unusual in advance, the two continents not only made extensive preparations in recent years but also quietly did a lot of groundwork in terms of public persuasion.
Therefore, the influence of this warrant on the North Continent and East Continent regions was greatly weakened.
But in other areas, it was different.
...
...
Central Continent, Rhein City.
When Ye Kaluo’s name appeared on the wanted list in the deep water area, this "Wind Rose" was handling affairs at the top of the Red Wine Group. Seven years ago, the head of Red Wine in Rhein City, He Chan, died in Sangzhou Cave, and the administrative power over this area was all handed over to Ye Kaluo.
With the emergence of the [Key] Gu Shen, the secret contacts hiding their identities in the Ancient Literature Society gradually made contact with each other in the real world.
Ye Kaluo and Lu Nanzhi had already exchanged identities.
The Red Wine Group is a world-class consortium, not inferior to Huazhi, and the two major consortia have several trade cooperation agreements.
With the help of the Dudu Lady, Ye Kaluo firmly grasped financial power in Rhein City, and her influence climbed rapidly.
Everyone in this port trade city now knows the name of the "Wind Rose". If everything goes according to plan, in a few years she will be exceptionally crowned as a councilor of Rhein City with the status of Full Star Priest. By then, she will be a part of the high-level Source Tower, and the next transfer would mean leaving Rhein for Upper City.
Unfortunately.
The originally beautiful blueprint was completely torn apart at this moment.
When the warrant appeared, the entrances and exits of Ye Kaluo’s office were instantly sealed. The measures taken by [Deep Sea] were not just about issuing a warrant.
Internal management personnel of the Red Wine Group had already sealed the building internally.
The Transcendent security team quickly gathered.
No one dared to believe that Lord Rose was actually an undercover agent planted by the Ancient Literature Society within Red Wine... But orders from Upper City had already been issued, and they had to take action.
The second deputy priest in Rhein City looked rather frail, draped in a sapphire blue robe that touched the ground. His name was Chi Shou, and after graduating from Upper City Academy, he was sent to this port city and had worked alongside Ye Kaluo for five years. In these five years, they gradually went from strangers to familiar, and compared to the "intrigue" with her former priest partner, He Chan, Ye Kaluo and Chi Shou worked very harmoniously together.
Apart from their partnership as priests from the Source Tower, even in daily life, the two were intimate friends.
Even the relationship...
Was a bit more than just friends.
"Mr. Chi, the Red Wine Building has been sealed... Upper City is already dispatching High Order Transcendent to Rhein City on an emergency basis."
Under the Red Wine Group, there is also a Fourth-tier Expert named Gu Li.
His relationship with Ye Kaluo wasn’t as congenial.
Over the years, all of the Red Wine Group’s transactions in Rhein City were controlled by Ye Kaluo. Gu Li, after all, is a Fourth-tier Expert but became a mere ornament upon his arrival in Rhein, left with only an honorary title doing meaningless security work every day.
The entire city’s power was held in the hands of the Source Tower priest, he naturally felt displeased.
Upon seeing the warrant, Gu Li immediately contacted the big shots in Upper City—
The reply from that side was simple.
One word.
Kill!
"What does Mr. Gu intend to say?"
Chi Shou looked towards the strong man beside him expressionlessly.
"I truly didn’t expect the remnants of the Ancient Literature Society to infiltrate so deeply. Initially, I thought just Ye Kaluo was shocking enough, but even the Red Dragon Envoy turned out to be a traitor... This matter must have reached the ears of the top of the tower, and it won’t be long before it spreads the wrath across the continent."
Gu Li shrugged and said, "We are in Central Continent, unable to manage matters beyond Central Continent. Hunting the Red Dragon is naturally beyond our help, but the task at hand is an excellent opportunity to earn merit."
"Hunting the Red Dragon?"
Chi Shou sneered.
Due to a recent coastal conflict on Yuanting Island, the Red Dragon Envoy was leading the team to carry out duties in the Ice Sea region.
The mission was now completed, and the Red Dragon should be on the return journey.
Rhein City is a trade port on the southeast coast of Central Continent. If the Red Dragon were to land, they would be the first to receive the news... Before the warrant, the Red Dragon had not reported intent to land. This shows that the envoy is still in the Southern Continent.
"If the Red Dragon were in Rhein City at this moment, Mr. Gu, would you truly dare to go hunting?"
Chi Shou looked at Gu Li, his expression revealing no emotion, but his words were full of sarcasm.
A Fourth-tier, a mere Fourth-tier, dares to claim to hunt the Red Dragon!
Even seven years ago, for the Red Dragon to deal with a Fourth-tier was just a matter of thought!
This first person of Source Tower Divine Envoy had been hidden for a very long time, so long that people in Central Continent had forgotten his former power.
"I can’t hunt it, but I dare to obstruct a bit."
Gu Li stated calmly with his hands clasped behind his back, "As a member under Source Tower, there are some things I must do."
