Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2495 Yasui's Conditions

A base? And a secret? It has a rather mystical feel to it.

Is the question really necessary?

It turns out that Mr. Laurie wasn't here to tour the office building; this place was actually hiding Sirens.

While I believe that greedy people wouldn't joke about something like this, I still think this approach is a bit unnecessary.

Moore isn't some place where Yasui has absolute power, and I haven't seen the Night Watchers being overly strict in their control. In fact, the Sirens' ships are still running rampant over there. So why do they have to be so secretive when setting up a base?
Is it really necessary for a superhuman to be stuck here, clocking in with office workers, and even possibly fighting over public restrooms?

"Oh? What's their main business?"

However, instead of immediately questioning, Fu Qian nodded slightly and even inquired about the scope of business.

"...It seems to be logistics and security."

The old man seemed to have relatively little business experience, and for a moment he hesitated and found it difficult to answer. It was the man next to him, the Tooth and Throat Hermit, who frowned and tried to recall.

And while they were talking, he deliberately led the three of them to a secluded corner.

These two businesses together... a security escort agency?
The leap was a bit too big, but as a professional business person, I didn't blindly question it. On the contrary, I quickly found a suitable model.

It has to be said that her aura instantly improved.

"Yes, I feel that the name Zhenyuan would be more suitable."

The next moment, not only did they give a positive review, but they even started guessing the business registration name before paying.

"No...and it seems they've never done business before."

Every single sentence he uttered was getting more and more absurd, until finally the Tooth and Throat Hermit couldn't take it anymore and took the initiative to speak and explain.

"This place is special because, apart from that ship, almost all of the Sirens' personnel in Moore have been evacuated. It seems that only they haven't moved."

……

That makes it much more interesting.

As the overlords of the sea, how could the Sirens not have business in a place like this? It would be strange if they only opened a security escort agency.

So you originally had quite a few businesses, but apart from this one, they all ran away?

The explanation given by the Tooth and Throat Hermit clearly makes the logic seem somewhat smoother.

This, of course, raises an even bigger question—why run away?

The ship was having a great time, and then they just stopped doing business and left?
The idea that Yasui, not wanting to see Sorendir achieve his goals, ended up sending a bunch of mercenaries to cause trouble is strikingly similar to the situation described by Yasui.

However, as the saying goes, there are no coincidences without a reason. Given that they are both purely profit-driven organizations, it is becoming increasingly intriguing to wonder what exactly they know about Moore.

"Where's Yasui?"

For a moment, I continued to pay attention to the Sirens' competitors.

"They've left too."

This time, it was Laurie who answered. Faced with the questioning gaze of the Tooth and Throat Layman, although he was unsure whether Fu Qian was asking a question he already knew the answer to, he still did not shirk his responsibility.

"And judging from the current situation, it's even more thorough; not even these underground strongholds have been left."

Are you that determined?
Seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere, Fu Qian nodded slightly.

"But I left you behind."

……

Despite being two organizations embroiled in a major conflict, they mysteriously withdrew at the same time.

However, behind this resolute stance, the entanglements have not been severed.

One seeks opportunities with an flamboyant attitude, while the other chooses a rather unreliable method to cause disruption...

Why does it suddenly feel like a pair of star-crossed lovers? Although some strange words popped into his mind, Fu Qian still smiled and silently watched Laurie and the other two.

"What we need to do when necessary is target this hidden stronghold..."

As expected, Laurie didn't disappoint. Amidst the somewhat bewildered looks of the Tooth and Throat Hermits, Laurie hesitated for a short while before continuing to reveal the details of the employment.

“They were originally very well hidden, and we wouldn’t have been able to find them on our own. This information was provided to us by Yasui.”

It turned out to be the case.

Someone is monitoring what's happening in Sorendir, but the real operation is taking place here.

Looking at it this way, Gene's division of labor, though dangerous, isn't so outrageous after all.

And as expected, the Tooth and Throat Hermit was not slacking off either, and was also responsible for important tasks.

Even if Yasui's mind is abstract, the greedy people wouldn't go crazy because of him.

If Laurie and his men were to confront Sorendir head-on, their first reaction would probably be to run as far away as possible.

At that moment, many things began to become clear.

Furthermore, although Laurie looked somewhat conflicted when he revealed these things, as if he had violated a confidentiality agreement, Fu Qian did not feel that he was forced.

Since he couldn't find Gene, he chose to bring an important partner here. The old man's purpose couldn't have been just to comfort the Tooth and Throat Hermit; he must have realized something long ago.

"go on."

But sometimes you still have to put on a show, and Fu Qian also gave a cold smile, exuding maximum pressure.

"They are all extraordinary individuals, but their ranks are not high, so they are not difficult to deal with."

Sure enough, Laurie glanced at the remaining two, sighed softly, and continued.

"Then what we need to do is not to kill them, but to release something using them as a target."

They even went so far as to defend their actions, emphasizing that no civilian casualties were involved.

"But whether they will die after being released is another matter entirely?"

Unfortunately, Professor Fu, an expert in wordplay, was not easily misled and simply continued with a cold laugh.

……

At that moment, Laurie and the other two fell silent.

They're all in the same boat, so they're not so naive as to be easily fooled.

"It's alright, I understand. So your job is to monitor Sorendir's movements. Once he starts acting strangely, just cause trouble here and then you can leave?"

Fortunately, I didn't fuss over it before I paid, and I didn't even get hung up on details like what exactly was being released.

“Yes, because what we need to do is very clear, we can try to hide our tracks as much as possible... Even if there is no change on the Sirens' side within half a month, we can still get the rest of the payment and leave.”

Some intangible sense of propriety is undoubtedly heartwarming, and Laurie readily agreed.

"But Gene's current situation makes it feel like the whole thing is out of control. He disappeared without a trace, and his fate is unknown—"

"He should be alright."

Although he was interrupted by Fu Qian at the end of the conversation.

Even if the perception sharing is turned off, the life link is still there. How could Old Li and the others not know that Gene wasn't killed?

"Let's go and pay them a visit."

However, he didn't dwell on such petty thoughts. The next moment, Fu Qian pointed upwards and gave his first action order.
