Su Xin politely thanked them, put down the guitar, and stepped off the stage. Imdiately, a server perceptively handed him a drink.
After taking the drink, Su Xin sat at the corner of the bar, leisurely drinking while attentively enjoying the performance of the new singer on stage.
Although playing music was just a whim for him, he couldn't just play and sing randomly; he genuinely learned so techniques.
His life was destined to be extrely long, and on this long path, he needed to find so joys and hobbies to truly invest ti and energy into, rather than just muddle through.
After finishing his drink and appreciating the bar's resident singer's performance, Su Xin left the bar.
Back at the hotel.
anwhile, the real Su Xin instantaneously teleported back to the secret base, revealing himself.
The illusion body in the hotel disappeared accordingly.
In the secret base, Su Xin took out his phone, teleported to the surface, powered it on to connect to the network, and routinely checked the daily reports sent by the monitoring group.
Typically, the monitoring group would report daily through emails about important decisions and actions by the Dawn Association, its current developnt status, core mber changes, and more.
For instance, newly joined superpower users, what superpowers they possess, how their potential is evaluated, all of which would be reported to Su Xin on the sa day.
Today's report ntioned last night's tragedy and the various negative impacts it brought.
Additionally, there are so similar cases, the organization's investigation into the public opinion surrounding these, the decision-making group's strategies to respond to the situation, et cetera.
The monitoring group serves as Su Xin's eyes and ears, helping him monitor all movents within the organization in real-ti.
Su Xin thought for a mont, then teleported back to the Dawn Association Headquarters, called Zuo Shuanghui into the eting room, and asked directly:
"Do you suspect soone is covertly targeting the Dawn Association and the superpower user community, deliberately planning these superpower user cri events?"
"Yes."
Zuo Shuanghui nodded solemnly and said:
"Previously, there actually weren't few cris by superpower users, considering human desires are endless. People with special abilities mostly don't want to earn money slowly like cattle and horses through work; many will think about taking shortcuts and making quick money through their superpowers. It's quite normal for this to happen."
"However, superpower users were not openly disclosed before. It's like the Dark Forest Law where each superpower user would carefully conceal their abilities, doing their best to disguise cris as ordinary ones."
"Plus, countries proactively suppressed any information about superpower users. Even if a cri was found out to involve superpower users, it would be reported as a regular case."
"This created an illusion for everyone that before we appeared, superpower users adhered strictly to laws and wouldn't dare to commit any cris."
"Since we erged out of nowhere, claiming to ensure the legal rights of superpower users and gained recognition and support from countries worldwide, this gave all superpower users courage."
"This courage not only allowed so superpower users to openly express themselves but also prompted so to commit cris with undue recklessness."
"Including the major fire on Zequ Island recently, which so people claim to have been caused by superpower users, with part of the bla pushed onto the Dawn Association."
"Such sentints have found a significant number of supporters."
"To many, these superpower user cri events were indirectly caused by the Dawn Association."
"Behind these opinions, it seems soone is secretly manipulating and guiding, including those criminal superpower users who might also be organized."
"Our intelligence departnt is investigating these matters; however, currently, there are no leads."
Su Xin pondered for a mont and said:
"If the existence of the Dawn Association is for fighting for the rights of the superpower user community, then it indeed has an obligation to regulate the cris of superpower users."
"Just follow your plan."
"Since the organization was established including a combat unit and several training bases, with so many professional fighters, they ought to be useful for sothing."
"However, those superpower users with higher potential rankings, don't deploy them for now."
"Alright."
Zuo Shuanghui nodded solemnly.
During this period, the Dawn Association didn't just recruit nurous superpower users but also released a standard for evaluating superpower users' potential.
Various superpowers were categorized based on comprehensive potential from high to low into A, B, C, and D levels, and every superpower user within the organization was classified accordingly.
Of course, the superpowers of a few core mbers are kept confidential and weren't classified — instead, Su Xin personally categorized them as classified.
Such as Zhai Shiquan, who possesses the Resurrection Superpower.
A scholar with superior research capabilities.
And two others, totaling four superpower users personally classified by Su Xin.
Most others were D level.
A few were C level.
B level users don't exceed ten.
A level had only one.
Su Xin himself was not included in this ranking, or his level would have had to be raised by at least two more ranks, which would be rather pointless.
"By the way, Su Shen, besides troubles from the superpower user aspect, the assets under Dawn Association have also shrunk to varying degrees recently."
"On the surface, this is caused by the recent superpower user uproar causing many companies, big and small, to show so resistance against the Dawn Association, no longer cooperating with the organization, which drastically reduced orders and revenue for so of our companies."
"The crux is these are normal comrcial collaborations; others can choose to collaborate with us or not, and nobody can accuse them. We can't force them to continue cooperating just because we're stronger."
"So, regarding the declining business trend during this period, the organization can hardly intervene forcefully."
"Besides these visible companies and assets facing decline, there are others secretly controlled by the organization experiencing similar events."
"Therefore, I suspect that these comrcial issues are actually targeting us and not spontaneous resistance by these companies, as most people don't even know these companies are associated with us."
Su Xin smiled and said:
"Unable to resist overtly, they just resort to petty tricks behind the scenes, sa as the Yonghui Financial Group and Celestial Kingdom when confronting ."
"This matter is highly likely an act by one or several conglorates joined forces."
"Although their motives for targeting the Dawn Association are unclear, it's irrelevant. Just investigate thoroughly, and if you find leads or have suspects with reasonable certainty, let know directly."
"Understood."
Zuo Shuanghui nodded.
Su Xin continued: "Additionally, if the organization's assets are facing decline, then my money…"
Zuo Shuanghui smiled wryly: "Su Shen, you've spent over eight billion cumulatively during this period. The organization's funds are now extrely tight, and it will likely be hard to co up with more money soon."
Su Xin wasn't too disappointed and casually said:
"Alright, just let it be. We'll discuss once funds are available again."
He had drawn a significant amount from the organization during this period, starting with the initial thirty billion, and then continuously taking several substantial sums over the past two weeks, which was an imnse burden for any organization.
He knew better than to exhaust the resources completely.
Ready to teleport away, a thought suddenly struck Su Xin, and he said:
"If you decide to send people to capture those criminal superpower users, I will act together using Feng Qian's identity. Notify if there's an operation."
Zuo Shuanghui hesitated and asked:
"But, Feng Qian's identity doesn't openly belong to the Dawn Association. If acting together, there must be an appropriate identity; are you planning to have Feng Qian join the Dawn Association?"
Su Xin nodded: "That could work."
"I can just turn Feng Qian's identity into the Dawn Association's ace combat asset, becoming an essential card to deter others."
Zuo Shuanghui hesitated: "But Feng Qian's identity previously involved killing people and committing clearly unlawful acts. If joining the Dawn Association, and similar events occur in the future, the organization would be in a tough spot…"
"People don't dare question Su Shen's actions, but Feng Qian's intimidation isn't as strong. So would surely feel the Dawn Association is sheltering a mber committing evil deeds."
Su Xin chuckled lightly:
"It's alright, the ones I killed were either warlord soldiers or conglorate mbers. Ordinary individuals wouldn't empathize strongly with them."
"Even if they did, it doesn't matter."
"We must be mindful of public opinion but shouldn't be entirely swayed by it, no need to be overly apprehensive."
