One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 169 Planning
No matter whether they are the bloodline families of the Liguo faction or the demon-changers, they have to survive in this society. Under the premise of not exposing themselves, they need to support some vassal forces to collect money, intelligence, resources, etc. for themselves.

The Lighthouse Organization has Lin Yifeng's Ankang Insurance Group as its white side and the Death Fighting Tournament as its black side. These two external forces, one black and one white, constitute the cornerstone and bottom layer of the Lighthouse.

As for the middle level, they are the men in black suits around them. These are the transformed monsters called Crescent Guards. The lowest level is the second-level soldier. They have undergone rigorous training and are loyal to the Lighthouse.

Together with the high-level general-level apostles and the tower master at the top, this constitutes the Lighthouse, a secretive and strict demon-transformation organization.

"However, while agents can be easily supported and abandoned, apostles cannot."

At this point, Chances sighed.

After these words were spoken, Lin Yifeng also fell silent.

This incident is too big and too serious.

The disappearance of Apostle Sophia, one of the top leaders of the Lighthouse, dealt a heavy blow to the Lighthouse organization.

Although Lighthouse has been frantically investigating Sophia's disappearance these past two days, no one knows whether she is alive or dead. If she is dead, it would be fine. But if she is alive and falls into the hands of the Category III Bureau, it would be a big trouble.

Although the tower master is a third-level demon transformer, and the lighthouse forces are indeed well-connected in both the black and white worlds of Nanjiang Province, but the world today is, after all, a world of humans and hot weapons.

If the real Sophia was captured alive and all the information about the Lighthouse was known to the Category 3 Bureau, they would be in a very passive position, and even the Lighthouse organization would most likely be uprooted and cease to exist.

The two ships docked at the island in the middle of the lake.

Chances and Lin Yifeng set foot on the island.

The island in the middle of the lake covers a large area, nearly as big as a football field.

The building in the center is a palace in the style of the White Kingdom.

The palace was magnificent, with long scarlet carpets, gorgeous chandeliers, and various famous paintings and stone sculptures on both sides.

The Crescent Guards who followed the two stayed outside, leaving only Chanes and Lin Yifeng to enter the palace.

At the end of the palace, there was a dining table where a woman with long black hair and wearing a gorgeous dress was having dinner.

She skillfully used a knife and fork to cut a piece of leg meat on the plate, divided it into small pieces, and then put it into her mouth and chewed it in small bites.

From time to time, she would pick up the red wine glass next to her and take a sip of the red liquid in the glass. With her beautiful appearance, it was a pleasing sight.

Her behavior was no different from that of any elegant lady dining. If there was any difference, it was probably that the piece of leg meat was raw and had just been cut.

And what was in the cup was not red wine, but blood that had just been shed.

On the two stone pillars behind the woman, two pretty-looking women whimpered in despair.

Their mouths were blocked and their bodies were bound with iron chains. Both of their right thighs were cut off and blood kept flowing out of them, falling into the silver basin on the ground. A lot of blood had already accumulated in the basin.

Two people wearing chef uniforms and masks were busy working on another female body.

The owner of the body was already dead. Two chefs were using their skillful techniques to remove the internal organs from the body's chest and abdomen. They were cutting them up one by one and presenting them on a silver plate. Finally, the waiter brought them to the woman's table.

Although the woman had an elegant posture, she actually ate very quickly. The meat on the plate was constantly replaced and the blood in the cup was refilled again and again.

Three waiters and two chefs kept serving her, processing food, changing plates, and fetching blood, just enough to keep up with her eating speed.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yifeng and Chanes were not surprised at all, as if they were seeing normal people sitting there eating.

For the transformed monsters, this was indeed an ordinary meal, and compared to those transformed monsters who ate raw food, the tower master's dining etiquette was indeed countless times more refined and elegant.

"Good afternoon, Master Tower Master. Apostle Lin Yifeng brings you the most sincere greetings."

Lin Yifeng bowed slightly. Although this tower master was a Xiaya, he liked the culture and etiquette of the Bai Country the most.

Because in the White Country, the status of demon transformers is much higher than in Shia.

Chanes also saluted the other party. When the tower owner, who was dining, heard the salute, he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he finished his meal and wiped the remaining blood stains on his lips with a towel before waving his hand.

The chef, servants and others cleaned up the scene and took away the dining utensils and uneaten ingredients.

At this time, the tower master raised his head slightly and looked at the two of them.

She was actually very beautiful, with long black hair that reached her waist, and a face that had the delicate beauty of an oriental girl. However, the ferocious aura she emanated from her made people ignore her beauty, as if they were looking at a scary monster.

"Lin Yifeng, Chances, you all know why I asked you to come here."

"Yes."

The two of them answered, and the tower master said again.

"It has been two days since Sophia disappeared. During these two days, I have used the entire intelligence network of the Lighthouse, but still have not found her whereabouts."

"However, based on our hidden agents in the three-category bureau, we did find some information."

Lin Yifeng and Chanes pricked up their ears. The hidden agents in the three bureaus were the biggest secrets of the lighthouse and were only in the hands of the tower master. The two of them were unaware of it. Every time there was information about the hidden agents, it was the tower master who passed it on to them.

Just listen to the tower master.

"According to reliable information, she was captured alive by a monster called Flame Demon. At the same time, the monster also killed a partner who had teamed up with Sophia at the time, the 75th member of the Collector's Association, Fei Luo."

Hearing this, the two were slightly stunned.

Sophia and Feiluo teamed up to hunt down the leader of the Southern Saint Sect because of their own selfish desires, and did not tell the Lighthouse, so neither of them knew the truth of the matter.

But relying on the hidden players in the three bureaus and his own intelligence network, the tower master was able to roughly restore the truth of the matter afterwards.

As he spoke, the tower master picked up two file bags from the table beside him and threw them to the two of them.

The two took it and opened it, their faces changed slightly.

The information contained here is the whole story, as well as the assessment and definition of the Fire Demon within the three-category bureau.

"Neither human nor demon nor evil, where on earth did this monster come from?"

"Moreover, this thing is intelligent, and its strength has reached level three. It has a strong ability to generate high temperatures, and it can eat the flesh and blood of monsters. This, this is simply our predator."

After reading the information in their hands, the two of them changed color.

As the saying goes, the strong prey on the weak. Although these monsters feed on humans, they still feel uneasy when they encounter more powerful hunters.

Especially since their strength was only at level one and level two, they were no match for the Flame Demon. Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at the Tower Master, hoping that she, who knew everything, could give them some information.

"I don't know where this monster came from."

The tower master looked at the expressions of the two and shook his head.

"This guy is intelligent and can eat the flesh and blood of demons. If Sophia falls into his hands, our trouble will be no less than if Sophia falls into the hands of the Class III Bureau."

After these words were spoken, Lin Yifeng and Chanes' expressions darkened.

Monsters are creatures that can reach a higher level by eating the flesh and blood of their own kind.

Therefore, after hearing that this monster would eat the flesh and blood of demons, they subconsciously thought that this monster also had a strong demand for the flesh and blood of demons.

In addition, the other party is intelligent and captured Sophia alive, undoubtedly hoping to pry information out of her and prey on these general-level monster transformers to satisfy their own needs.

It is definitely not a pleasant feeling to be targeted by a powerful predator hiding in the dark and whose background is unknown to you.

Especially since they were originally monsters hiding in the dark and preying on humans, and now their identities have been reversed and they are experiencing the feeling of being hunted. The contrast brought about by this identity change makes them feel uncomfortable.

"The current situation is very bad. We are being targeted by a third-level hunter hiding in the dark. Either we escape from Nanjiang Province, or we find that guy and kill him. I called you here this time to discuss this matter with you."

The tower master said.

A hunter who is intelligent, cannibalistic, and has the strength of a level three general, hiding in the dark and knowing the intelligence of their lighthouse is really terrifying.

Although the tower master himself has the strength of a third-level general, he also has two general-level subordinates and a group of powerful soldier-level Crescent Guards.

But a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. The biggest advantage of their Lighthouse Organization is secrecy. Now this advantage has become a disadvantage. There is really no need to confront it head-on.

After all, you can only be a thief all day long, not be on guard against thieves all day long.

"No, I don't think the situation is that bad yet."

Chances thought for a moment and said.

"Master Tower Master, I don't think Sophia will betray us. After all, although Sophia's strength is only level one, she is not the kind of person who will be easily pried open."

Hearing this, Lin Yifeng also echoed.

"I also support Chans's opinion. Even if the other party really captured Sophia alive, it would not be possible to pry our intelligence out of her in a short period of time. It would take at least weeks or months."

The transformed monsters are transformed from humans. When they transform, their personalities often experience the impact of their monster nature and become distorted. Most of them have abnormal mental states.

This is especially true for Sophia, who is a pervert with a strong masochistic tendency and an extremely twisted will. It is extremely difficult to pry information out of her.

After hearing the two's analysis, the tower master nodded slightly.

"I think so too. The possibility of our intelligence being exposed is actually very small. If we evacuate Nanjiang Province now, the success rate will be very high. But I don't want to take this road."

The two nodded slightly, both knowing the tower master's concerns.

If the power of the lighthouse is placed in the surface world and the ancient martial arts world, it can definitely be regarded as a powerful force with dimensionality reduction strike. It has a large number of soldier-level monster transformers and three generals. Once it really starts, it can easily cause turmoil and horrific destruction to a city.

However, in the secret world, the strength of the Lighthouse is only a third-rate force at the very bottom, corresponding to a third-rate bloodline family.

For a "weak" organization like theirs, Nanjiang Province is already a province with a very stable situation. The Lighthouse Organization is like a local tyrant here. As long as they don't cause too much trouble, they can do whatever they want. Relying on the power in their hands and the intelligence they sell, they have no shortage of elixirs and manpower, and the lives of the senior executives are very comfortable.

But if we leave Nanjiang Province, it will be different.

This means that they have to abandon the power they have built up for a long time, and go to other places to compete for living space with other demons and evil forces, and they will also have to be suppressed by the three types of bureaus in other provinces.

But not every province's Category 3 bureau is as weak as Nanjiang Province, with only a few first-level generals who are unable to wipe them out.

"Master Tower Master, my thoughts are the same as yours. I don't want to leave either."

Lin Yifeng said, and Chase echoed, “Me too.”

Both of them were well aware of the risks of withdrawing from Nanjiang Province. Not only did the Tower Master not want to leave, they also did not want to leave.

Although there is the threat of the fire demon here, there will be more threats if you leave this place.

"Since everyone doesn't want to leave and agrees, let's talk about how to resolve this matter."

The tower master had anticipated the reactions of the two and spoke in a calm tone.

"This matter is neither easy nor difficult. It is nothing more than a monster that threatens us. As long as we can kill him, we can rest assured."

"Could it be that the tower master has already found a solution?"

Seeing that the tower master seemed to have mastered the matter, Chanes was delighted and asked.

"No, there is too little information about the Flame Demon, let alone his origins and identity. I also don't have a way to find him and kill him, but."

The tower master changed the subject.

"When the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and we cannot take the initiative to attack, the best way is to strengthen our own strength."

"As long as my strength breaks through to level 4, then this Fire Demon won't be a problem. Even if the lighthouse is exposed and the Nanjiang Provincial Bureau knows about it, they won't dare to take action because of my level 4 combat power."

In the secret world, strength is king.

If they are not strong enough, they will have difficulty in taking a step; if they are powerful, they will act arbitrarily and even the third-level bureau will not dare to deal with them easily.

If generals one to three belong to the lower middle level in the secret world, then general four will completely belong to the middle level in the secret world, and there will be a watershed breakthrough in strength.

Even for a second-rate bloodline family, the standard is to have a strong man at the fourth or fifth level of a general, which is a clear example.

However, it is very difficult to break through to the general level. If a bloodline person breaks through, the possibility of transforming into a monster will increase with each level he breaks through.

Although the monster transformers do not have the limitation of monster transformation, it is not easy for them to break through. They need a lot of energy as a boost, and their own bloodline must be strong enough.

"Could it be that, Tower Master, you are about to break through to level 4?"

Hearing the tower master's words, Lin Yifeng and Chanes were slightly excited.

They all knew that the tower master's bloodline was definitely not weak, and it could definitely reach level four, or even level five.
