...
At the sa ti.
In the east, high in the undulating mountains.
The muscular white man with a full beard still stood on the high ground, arms crossed, gazing into the distance.
Until.
A figure silently landed behind him, causing him to withdraw his gaze and turn around.
"Checked it out, the Daisy Federation sent soone from the Sikopuqi Sect, Anna... As for the Celestial Strategy Mansion, the Spirit above us is sowhat abnormal, likely the one sent is Yu Zhou. As for the others, mostly unfamiliar faces, I just know the leader once followed Xia Yue, and there was a girl who once appeared beside Mount Tai.
In addition, they brought quite a few 'Tip' weapons."
The figure that landed behind the man slowly stood up, resembling the forr greatly, looking in his thirties, also bald, with a full beard, a face full of horizontal at, muscular build, and strong physique.
In fact.
They are a pair of brothers... and their nas are notorious in the Empowerer circle.
Geoffrey Reddy.
Hamiti Reddy.
First Rider Position, the Reddy Brothers.
"Sikopuqi Sect, those impotent n... Does the Daisy Federation intend to humiliate us with them?"
Upon hearing his brother, Geoffrey Reddy curled his lips, sowhat disdainful: "As for the Celestial Strategy Mansion, still as arrogant as ever, thinking a Celestial Strategy plus a bunch of nobodies can accomplish anything."
Hamiti Reddy hesitated for a mont upon hearing this, then said: "Geoffrey, I still think it's too risky, choosing to stay while being besieged by Empowerer organizations from two nations. Never mind the Daisy Federation, but the Celestial Strategy Mansion seems to have had so changes in its higher-ups, clearly wanting to make an example of us..."
"Do you think they'll succeed?"
Geoffrey asked, looking at his brother with a smile: "My dear brother, don't be so cautious, I've dealt with empowerers from both these countries, I understand them very well.
I know better than anyone in what situation to leave or stay... You said the Celestial Strategy Mansion's higher-ups have changed, wanting to make an example of us, don't you think I know that? Of course I know, not only do I know, but our clients know too.
But I still chose to stay, do you know why? Because besides not wanting them to succeed, our clients also don't want them to succeed, soone out there is even more unwilling to see such a scene."
Hamiti remained silent for a mont, then responded: "But the problem is, this ti the Celestial Strategy Mansion brought the Security Army, who are not under the control of our clients, and they are equipped with 'Tip' weapons."
Geoffrey countered: "Then how do their weapons compare to ours?"
Hamiti replied directly: "They definitely don't compare."
"Exactly."
Geoffrey laughed heartily: "One Celestial Strategy, one frigid Sikopuqi Sect, a bunch of riffraff with pieces of scrap iron, why should I run? There aren't many jobs where you can earn two commissions at once, my dear brother."
Hamiti: "..."
He had no words to say.
Although deep down he still felt uneasy, he had to admit his brother was right, unable to refute.
Geoffrey knew he had convinced his brother, and instead asked: "Have the advance paynts from both sides been given?"
"Given."
Upon hearing this topic, Hamiti relaxed a little and nodded.
After all, no matter how uneasy he might feel, it was just unease, but the rewards were tangible benefits: "We have already received them, Sane has just checked, the 'Stone' products from both sides are of excellent quality, they indeed ca with sincerity, we can now make two more 'Tip' weapons.
And Sane said, if there are more and better materials, he has confidence in manufacturing the truly aningful 'Tip' weapon ntioned in ancient texts, the reputedly earth-shaking 'Giant Cannon'... Although the difficulty is extrely high, he's made so headway, as long as he continues researching, we should be able to make breakthroughs and improve our equipnt."
"Hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Geoffrey felt great, laughing again: "See... this is why I chose to stay, now most empowerers are unwilling to provoke us, and over in Africa, all the slightly advanced empowerers have been hunted down, we cannot forcibly invade countries with advanced empowerers.
My dear brother, I've been worrying about where to get the 'Stone' for weapon making... now it's here!
The legendary 'Tip' weapon... imagine when we succeed and sell this technology to the Celestial Strategy Mansion or the Church, what price will they offer?"
As he spoke.
He revealed a greedy look, looking at his brother.
Hamiti was silent for a mont, and sincerely said: "Surely, it would be a fortune!"
This one thing.
He had not the slightest doubt.
The entire Empowerer circle knew that the First Rider Position is the rcenary organization possessing the most 'Tip' weapons, with generally strong power.
Outsiders felt they were cold-blooded, lacked foresight, only knowing to cram 'Stone' into the guns as consumables, even killing their own to extract 'Stone', and so mocked their origins, saying they couldn't change their ways.
But only he and his brother knew... they were not lacking in foresight.
On the contrary, they had too much foresight.
The reason they continually cramd 'Stone' into guns as consumables... is mainly because a few years ago, over in Africa, they discovered an interesting relic.
And there, they uncovered the secrets of 'Tip' weapons, the Compression Device, and... an instruction manual.
They were very sure, all current nations are wrong in their research direction on 'Tip' weapons.
The relics indicated.
Those ancient people, long turned to dust... did not use 'Tip' weapons and Compression Devices in such a manner.
They called the 'Tip' weapon——'Giant Cannon'.
And all these years, the First Rider Position had been attempting to replicate the use of the 'Giant Cannon' as ntioned in the relics.
Although progress was slow, indeed, they had made so headway, this was their reason for constantly using 'Stone' in their guns.
"A fortune... hey."
Upon hearing his brother's words, Geoffrey's smile beca more evident: "Then I'll remain expectant... I really look forward to their expressions when they see our weapons, to their expressions when we change the entire empowernt world's structure!
But before that, let's serve them an appetizer first... let's greet the mission target this ti.
After all, we still need our clients to pay the remainder upon achieving the goal.
Go.
Go and show them! What a real 'Tip' weapon is like!"
As he finished speaking.
Geoffrey's expression turned sowhat ruthless, filled with a bloodthirsty excitent.
... A survivor who only pursues his own interests.
Chaos and danger were where his pleasures lay.
Hamiti looking at his elder brother, his only thought was this.
And perhaps infected by his brother.
That slight unease that had hovered in his heart disappeared like smoke at this mont.
He nodded forcefully, then responded: "Okay."
...
Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
Ji Xin sat in a wheelchair, holding a laptop, quietly looking at sothing. A golden retriever suddenly jumped up and lay on her lap, then affectionately nuzzled her belly with its head.
She ca to her senses, reached out to rub its head, took one last look at the complex information sent from Kunlun, and then slowly closed the laptop.
"Mount Tai has departed."
At this mont, the tall woman standing behind Ji Xin spoke up to remind her.
"Mm."
Ji Xin rubbed the dog's head, lightly responded, then looked into the distance, suddenly speaking softly: "Shan Li, our dog, by a stroke of serendipity, seems to have dug up sothing quite extraordinary."
Shan Li: "..."
She couldn't understand.
