Chapter 693: Chapter 626: New Approach Chapter 693: Chapter 626: New Approach Outside the underground chamber C19, the middle-aged man who had caught Tao Yu was vigilantly scanning his surroundings, displaying a cautious, alert, and loyally devoted demeanor that seemed very professional.
Creak~
As the door opened, he turned and bowed, saying, “Sir, I’m not sure what’s next…
uh…”
Slightly bewildered at the sight of Tao Yu opening the door, his mind struggled to make sense of the situation.@@novelbin@@
“Hard work, you did well.”
Tao Yu kindly patted his shoulder and then walked towards the exit of the underground chamber.
Meanwhile, the man who had been on the lookout outside, only to find that his boss had been stolen from under him, stood frozen in place, watching Tao Yu move towards the sunlit exit.
Why…
Why had it turned out this way…
From the spot on his shoulder where Tao Yu had patted him, a sensation of decay and withering spread, and his body gradually carbonized, turning into dust that danced in the air.
As his eyes began to disappear, he just managed to see Tao Yu ascend the staircase bathed in sunlight.
Don’t you even ask if I would surrender…
“The identity of ‘Klein’ isn’t really something to worry about exposing.”
Tao Yu’s current persona, Klein, was just a typical nobody; he didn’t need to rush into switching anything.Not to mention that, based on the Memory Fragment information obtained from Sid, he was in charge of orchestrating this affair—such a trivial matter certainly didn’t need to be reported; it was entirely his responsibility.
After he had disrupted the Divination, it was questionable whether the Aphis family could even learn about his involvement.
Besides, even if they did find out, it seemed inconsequential…
The Bai Family wouldn’t allow a Catastrophe Level battle in the State Capital, and could the Aphis family’s Catastrophe Level compare with the Huang Family’s?
The headache was that he no longer had a Grazing quota left; even if someone was sent over, he was too stuffed to care.
He really couldn’t eat any more…
“I’ll go see Long Yin’er in a couple of days to get a letter of recommendation; since my identity doesn’t matter, lending a hand casually is fine too.”
Tao Yu knew that Long Yin’er was of the rare Demon Dragon bloodline, heuristically piecing together the information bought from the Thieves Guild and the Memory Fragments from Sid.
This was a bloodline proficient in Magical Power utilization, capable of attaining a formidable physique.
Although it also came with a few disadvantages, and the path was indeed as fixed as Long Yin’er had said, the excellence of it was undeniable.
The Aphis family’s plan was actually quite blunt: to use external pressure to continuously stress Long Yin’er, making her anxious and fearful.
In fact, during the previous concert, they had self-directed a case of watching over oneself stealing.
The reason Long Yin’er cooperated with the Aphis family was due to some marriage alliances between the two in the past, always considered distant allies.
The White Star Group’s business spanned across three states, and they had some dealings in Tianxing State as well.
Since they were in different states without any conflicting interests, they were able to exchange needs and remain on good terms—a relationship as courteous and mild as water.
A major disaster struck the Long Family in Tianlong State, with two Catastrophe Levels in the family dying, and another one severely injured, unable to protect the original interests.
Thus, they chose to disband, trying to preserve whatever was left of the family’s seed.
The remaining Catastrophe Level then protected Long Yin’er, the one with the highest Talent, and brought her to White Star City.
A Catastrophe Level in bad shape, possibly even dying, was in fact already desperate and would definitely retaliate limitlessly at any cost should anything happen.
Moreover, this Catastrophe Level had an area in the Abyssal Fragment, still within their old stronghold in Tianlong State, which still posed a deterrent to the residual forces in Tianlong State.
Conceding so many interests, it was enough to start a quarrel over the spoils over there, and they probably wouldn’t chase after them.
The situation in Baixing State wasn’t profitable to begin with, relying on the lingering Catastrophe Level, they should still be able to stand their ground.
But what Tao Yu hadn’t expected was that the Aphis family had started to harbor ulterior motives!
A lineage that could be passed down, of excellent blood, amounted to granting the family an additional top-tier inheritance.
They didn’t intend to use force, or to say coercion was merely the last resort.
Now, they were trying to constantly pressure Long Yin’er, coercing her into marriage with a member of the Aphis family.
Once she became “one of them,” the follow-up manipulation would naturally fall into place.
For this, they had even purchased many abilities that could aid in pregnancy, and even the Alien Queen’s Skills, all to have Long Yin’er bear as many children as possible.
“They don’t see her as human at all, just a complete breeding machine…”
Tao Yu also felt some emotion over the cruelty of these great families.
Although not every family was like this, when it came to interests, especially those of long-term inheritance, their bottom line was extremely low.
This reminded Tao Yu of the words Sun Guanghui had told her amid the grey fog upon her arrival.
That was because she originally had a good relationship with the little heiresses.
If it wasn’t the case, Tao Yu wouldn’t want to challenge the Suns’ bottom line…
“Their family struggles are really cruel.
Holding advantages you can’t protect feels like being immediately surrounded by a pack of wolves.”
Tao Yu felt that Long Yin’er probably had similar guesses and suspicions.
But now, as the weaker party, she also seemed quite helpless, and the bargaining chips in her hands were probably few…
“Wait, her family should have an abundance of Yuan Force, right?”
Tao Yu pondered.
In fact, although the Long family had scattered and fled, Yuan Force, easy to carry, was definitely not left behind.
What was left behind were more fixed assets that could produce Yuan Force over the long term.
Even if the Long family had to spend a lot in the end to deal with the situation, the Yuan Force they had might not be much, but that was probably a relative term!
“Moreover, they are desperate to save their lives right now, so the amount they can offer at once should be substantial.
If I can solve their problems, I should be able to get a couple of hundred million…”
Currently, all her abilities required only systematic digestion for a noticeable improvement, but what could still bring significant advancement was the third deification of her Talent!
So far, the effects of Skill deification were mixed and not always worth the cost, but Talent had never let Tao Yu down.
Originally, because of the money left from the Huang Family, Tao Yu had already considered deification.
Now, if she included the consideration of Long Yin’er’s situation, she might be able to achieve it directly!
“This…
this is actually ‘good luck,’ isn’t it…”
Tao Yu thought of her previous Divination results.
Indeed, following the guidance of Destiny, one always received gifts.
At the same time, she also faintly sensed that this was related to her having grasped a strand of Destiny’s thread.
Ordinary Divination probably couldn’t achieve such excellent effects…
…
After spending another two days in the State Capital, Tao Yu also checked on the work of Red Rose and punched the clock at several famous gourmet restaurants, experiencing the cuisine infused with Talent and Skills.
Seeing that the time was about right, she sent a message to Long Yin’er through her communication bracelet,
“Miss Long Yin’er, may I ask if you’ve found the recommendation letter for me?”
“It’s ready, come and get it.
You should know the hotel I’m staying at, right?
If you don’t know, I’m not giving it to you.”
Long Yin’er was a popular idol.
Her place of residence was public knowledge, but Tao Yu still casually asked someone on the street, giving them some Yuan Force in silence to buy the hotel’s address information.
Well, she really didn’t know…
What do you think?
