"Huh? Why can't we add more people? I'm the minister here," Liu Lianyue said somewhat sulkily upon hearing Liang Wuxuan's rebuttal in the Activity Room.
Since Zhao Chen was also a member of the Common Unity Party and part of the Radicals, it wouldn't be bad to drag him into the Activity Room. They could discuss some issues occasionally, and since he was a guy, it would be easier for him to get along with Yang Xiaoyou.
However, the suggestion was directly shot down by the Demoness in front of her, leaving Liu Lianyue feeling quite embarrassed.
"That's enough people," Liang Wuxuan stated firmly, leaving no room for doubt, which silenced Liu Lianyue completely.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoyou felt a bit frustrated. He had always wondered why, despite Zhao Chen having many secrets to uncover, she seemed disinterested in him and focused solely on him instead.
Although Liang Wuxuan, Zhao Liang, Zhao Chen, and Liu Lianyue all knew he was a Mercenary, their attitudes towards him hadn't changed much in everyday interactions; at least they still appeared stable on the surface.
"He has his own club; he probably won't come. This club is already chaotic enough," Zhao Liang said as he scratched his ear with his bandaged arm.
Then he seemed to remember something and hesitantly added, "Also, recently Heart Point and the City have been a bit unsettled."
Hearing this reminder from his fellow member, although it was vague, Yang Xiaoyou understood that Zhao Liang must have learned something through his original work channels.
As one of the first members registered by the national organization, he likely knew that an unexpected guest was staying at his home. However, from his expression, it seemed he had no intention of discussing this matter.
Perhaps it was similar to how he chose to ignore Liu Lianyue's identity.
Looking at Zhao Liang's still bandaged arm, Yang Xiaoyou felt a bit sorry for him. A normal human body could indeed be too fragile at times; the impact of that gunshot would affect him for life.
When saving Qi Menglu, Yang Xiaoyou himself had also been shot in the shoulder but only needed two band-aids before bouncing back to life.
In fact, Yang Xiaoyou now wanted Zhao Liang to ask him for something; perhaps he could learn more about Sun Jun. The current situation was truly uncomfortable.
In contrast, the fellow who rescued Sun Jun was someone that Yang Xiaoyou considered a lower priority to deal with. Although this individual was stronger than Sun Jun, who relied on brute force, it was clear that he was cautious and fearful of injury.
When rescuing Sun Jun, he left without making any attempts to probe the situation, demonstrating a level of rationality far superior to that of Sun Jun. It seemed he had used a Suppressor, and judging by his physique, Yang Xiaoyou could estimate that he had once been wild and had only later injected himself with a Suppressor to stabilize his own sanity. His relationships within the organization were mostly cooperative, suggesting that any personal 'obsessions' he had were likely severed.
If they were to truly confront each other, it would be challenging. However, aside from Sun Jun, there wasn't yet an extreme level of hostility between them. If Yang Xiaoyou were to kill Sun Jun, it would only serve to create a heart devoid of allies and benefits, making the possibility of seeking revenge nearly nonexistent.
After a period of rest, the first class resumed with an announcement that to make up for lost time, future weekends would be occupied for this semester. No other issues arose.
Upon returning home, Yang Xiaoyou opened his computer and found an email from Zhou Xiong. Recently, the person in charge of the comprehensive control in the Chinese Empire had indeed taken some continuous actions. However, Zhou Xiong was merely an executor and not the planner; he wasn't clear on the specifics or who else might be involved or whether there were Suppressors present.
He could only provide a vague possibility regarding the emergence of Suppressors but seemed uncertain about this particular one being manageable.
After reading this response, Yang Xiaoyou could fully confirm that the type of fellow who rescued Sun Jun aligned with his suspicions.
"The situation over at Yamaguchi-gumi has started to escalate. Should we decide to intervene? The transport company is almost ready," Nobunaga Hideyoshi said as he closed his notebook after Yang Xiaoyou exited his room.
"Since we already have transportation capabilities, we can't let this opportunity slip by. Let them come over first; however, no smuggling—things are too tense lately and misunderstandings could arise. They should enter through official channels or perhaps arrive in Vietnam first," Yang Xiaoyou replied thoughtfully after reflecting on the situation with Sun Jun.
"Not a problem. I've already communicated with the officials regarding entry methods. However, Mr. Mo's identity is sensitive; it's inconvenient for him to come over directly. He should bring part of his team in batches into Japan," Nobunaga Hideyoshi responded.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou didn't press for further details; the process wasn't crucial. Since Nobunaga Hideyoshi had it under control, he trusted that everything would be fine.
Moreover, once personnel arrived here, they could be mobilized if necessary to help deal with any immediate troubles.
The original intention behind establishing Hive Security Company was precisely to resolve issues when needed; at that time, his external identity would still only be that of an outer member of Hive Security Company.
In a hotel room,
Zhou Xiong looked at the figure cloaked in a cape before him and couldn't help but snort coldly. "You acted on your own! You actually created an Infected Entity without authorization! Have you considered what would happen if you couldn't contain the virus and it broke out here? Your actions could disrupt the entire organization's plans!"
"I do my work; it's not your place to meddle." The figure cloaked in shadows spoke coldly, while beside him stood Sun Jun, who had regained a human appearance. His previously severed arm now seemed to be attached to another person's arm.
He appeared somewhat dazed, his gaze vacant.
"Others may fear you, but I do not," Zhou Xiong replied, his expression now completely calm and filled with coldness.
"Oh? Human, do you wish to die here?" the shadowy figure taunted.
"You can try," Zhou Xiong responded, fully accepting the challenge. He had already sensed the presence of power; even though there was a gap in raw strength between them, he did not show any signs of weakness due to the compensating force he felt.
After staring at Zhou Xiong for a moment, the figure ultimately chose not to strike. Instead, he turned to Sun Jun and prepared to leave the room. As he reached the door, he said, "I have no interest in playing games. I will report what I do myself; any issues are mine to bear. Our relationship is merely one of ordinary cooperation. If you wish to sever ties, I am indifferent, but I wonder if you can truly represent your organization."
Zhou Xiong kept his gaze fixed on the figure until it departed. Only then did he relax. No matter how strong he was, he was still just human. Although he did not want to admit it, beings of his caliber were scarce, and their overall strength indeed fell short compared to them.
"That person beside him seems to be the one that fellow wanted to focus on. I wonder if he can handle that thing." After a brief flicker of thought in his eyes, Zhou Xiong made certain decisions...
Now they were starting to capture those involved in looting and vandalism; however, it seemed that many still slipped through the cracks. The reports indicated that most of those apprehended were akin to thugs.
(To be continued.)
