The negotiations did not occur at the EO headquarters. Instead, the wilderness in the outskirts had been chosen. According to Lu Shu’s a.n.a.lysis, EO might be quite worried that these experts would destroy the EO headquarters if the talks did not go the way they wanted.

It did not matter who would eventually win. If the EO headquarters were flattened because of this, it would be very embarra.s.sing for them.

Even if the large organizations destroyed their headquarters, what could they do? EO was very strong. There were no other organizations in South Africa who had two Cla.s.s B experts like them. But the problem was, these two Cla.s.s B experts were no match for the large organizations.

EO was depending on the large organizations to create checks and balances for one another. This was the reason why they had invited 11 organizations to hold talks. If there was any organization who wanted to monopolize all the minerals, the others would cooperate to drive them out. They would not allow an opponent of the same ability to take advantage of them.

Under these circ.u.mstances, EO, who was an organization that the other large organizations could easily destroy, would act as a buffer and a middle man. Everyone wanted to take control of EO in the future. On the other hand, EO would be able to achieve success without much trouble. They would be able to experience a thrill, as if they were walking on a steel wire.

Lu Shu felt that the leader of EO was very daring. It was not enough for him to ask a tiger for its skin. He even found 11 tigers.

Out of these 11 organizations, the Department of Faith Theory, the Phoenix Society and the Heavenly Network had the most influence. They were organizations with Cla.s.s A experts. They were truly top-notch.

But the other organizations were curious. The Heavenly Network was evidently the stronger organization among all the organizations. But why did they seem so weak…

Before they set off, Xia Rensheng suddenly asked curiously. “Li Teng, why do I sense that you are not scared at all? On the contrary, you seem rather excited…”

“I have never seen negotiations on such a large scale before,” Lu Shu said and laughed buoyantly.

Xia Rensheng felt that Li Teng was not too reliable, but he had a decent way of thinking. He brought Li Ganyu, Liu Fan and the rest to the wilderness on the outskirts. Lu Shu occasionally observed the terrain. If they were to battle here, he had to see where he should run towards. After all, there was no way the group would be able to face a group of Cla.s.s B experts head-on.

He would be fine, but Li Ganyu, Liu Fan, and the rest might die. Even Xia Rensheng, a Cla.s.s C expert, might not be spared.

The EO organization had been established at the end of the 20th century. During the era with scarce magical energy, they were a mercenary organization that had run wild in South Africa. They were very capable and vigorous as they were seasoned warriors.

During the magically-rich era, the leader of the organization, Bennett, as well as many key members suddenly experienced an awakening. Since Africa did not have many Pract.i.tioners, they could occupy a dominant position in the region.

But if this was the case, it was hard for EO to sustain themselves. Only Bennett’s family could grasp the methods of training. This had no use during magically scarce eras, but their skills could s.h.i.+ne during the magically-rich era.

EO had their own mercenary training camp made up of sharp young men. There was no easier way for Bennett to choose those with potential and train them as Pract.i.tioners.

Thus, the rise of EO in Africa was accidental, but necessary. Lu Shu stopped and read the information that s.h.i.+ Xuejin had sent him. His phone from the Heavenly Network probably had more information than that of Xia Rensheng, Li Ganyu, and the rest.

There was information regarding Bennett’s youth. For example, when he was 13 years old, he had gotten into a fight and blinded his cla.s.smate with a pencil. Thus, he went overseas and became a mercenary soldier. After the magical era, EO did not just seek money. They had greater ambitions. Thus, they became one of the evil organizations in the country.

There were also some informational videos about EO, as well as their hobbies, etc. In the video, Bennett was wearing a beret with a very cold expression on his face. He seemed to be lecturing the others. The one who had secretly filmed the video was one of the partic.i.p.ants in the military training.

The Heavenly Network provided Lu Shu with thorough information.

But Lu Shu could not a.n.a.lyze the information about Bennett now.

Lu Shu suddenly thought of a problem. He had to think of more ways to earn distress points. If not, he would have gone overseas for nothing! But he was stuck at the third level of Nebula and could not use his distress points. What a headache!

Wait. Lu Shu suddenly thought of one thing he could spend his distress points on! Chi Fruit!

He had collapsed one chi mountain to produce a sword spirit. His second chi mountain had not fully formed. He could use his extra distress points to buy Chi Fruits and speed up the pace!

Although this sword spirit was not very strong in terms of combat power, it could still provide solid support.

Lu Shu had felt that since he was stuck at the third level of Nebula, there was no point earning distress points. But now, it could be used to purchase Chi Fruit and produce a sword spirit.

They were approaching the destination. The representatives from each organization waited. They made sure that there was some distance between them and the other organizations. They were only waiting for the leader of EO, Bennett, and the rest of the people. Xia Rensheng softly reminded them, “Remember what I have said. Be careful in your actions, and… wait. Where is Li Teng?!”

They suddenly realized that Lu Shu did not follow them here.

As the large organizations were waiting, everyone’s satellite phone started to ring wildly. Howard furrowed his eyebrows and picked up the phone. He was dumbfounded. “Did you say that someone almost destroyed the EO headquarters?! Who did this?!”

“You didn’t catch the culprit? You didn’t catch the culprit even with two Cla.s.s B’s? Where is Bennett?”

After questioning around, they realized that Bennett and another Cla.s.s B expert from EO were on their way to the negotiations. There was no one guarding the headquarters. The headquarters were left vulnerable.

At this moment, someone suddenly ran over wildly with a small mountain in hand. The person had hurled the small mountain at the EO headquarters, resulting in a giant hole…

Bennett and the Cla.s.s B expert, who were originally on their way to the negotiations, rushed back to the headquarters. The culprit had vanished. He was a white man.

When they mentioned a white man, everyone thought of the person who had thrown stinky tofu. Someone raised the point that this person and the person who had thrown the stinky tofu could be the same person.

The negotiations were temporarily canceled. There might be an organization who was planning to sabotage this deal…

“From Howard Miller’s distress, +666!”

“From Xia Rensheng’s distress, +666!”

“From Francesco Russo’s distress, +666!”

Everyone’s expression changed. They would find this organization and punish them!
