Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 924 They were also part of the plan.
“Right now, I feel she’s acting a bit strange. But there’s no concrete evidence,” Bai Pu said.

Copperpipe Gunther shook his head and said, "How does Lord Steelheart plan to find evidence of her 'abnormality'? Even if we find evidence, given our status in this world, which high-ranking native inhabitants can we find to expose us? Will the high-ranking native inhabitants believe us lowly gladiators, or will they believe Lady Mizuki from the prestigious family of the capital?"

“Gunther, you’re talking too much. Lord Steelheart must have a comprehensive plan! We just need to follow orders.”

Bart tried to stop Gunther, "So far, Lord Steelheart has completed two steps of the consecutive missions! He's even deciphered the code bottle that we couldn't solve. You should trust him."

I still stand by my opinion.

"We are Awakened Ones," said Gunther of the Copper Pipes. "Our time in the Ascended Planes is limited. In the end, what matters is gaining a high evaluation and tangible benefits, even if Lady Rhys truly harbors ill intentions towards the Empire?"
"Lord Steelheart, may I borrow the token Lady Mizuki gave you—that iris silver coin?"

Bai Pu shook his head and said, "No matter what, I will not agree to go to Mrs. Ruixi to hand over the task now."

This statement is clearly a rejection.

“In that case, let’s split up.” Brass Gunther stood up and said calmly, “Bart, I’ve had enough of this team, and I’m tired of being a supporting character in it. If you’re still going to follow Steelheart… I’m leaving the team.”

Bart was speechless for a moment, wanting to say something to persuade him to stay, but not knowing how to mend the rift.

The relationship between Copper Pipe Gunther and Melting Arm Bart is somewhat similar to that between Li Wang Wenjiu and Shenzuo Futu in China.

Both of them are prodigies among the Awakened on Furnace Star and have a good relationship. This time, the Ascension Plane and Combat Power Assessment brought them together to form a team, which also attracted many geniuses from Furnace Star to join.

Bart had higher prestige and attracted more Crucible Star Major Generals, thus becoming the leader of this team.

However, Bart did not have absolute authority within the team.

As soon as Brass Gunther left, two more people followed him out.

"Boss Bart, Lord Steelheart, we can't just let them go like this!"

One of Bart's team members spoke up, "Those three stole our fruit and tried to run away by themselves!"

Bart looked at Bai Pu. Strictly speaking, deciphering the code bottle was the result of Bai Pu's hard work.

Bai Pu shook his head: "Never mind... since they want to leave, then let them leave."

These Furnace Star Awakeners are all connected by blood, even if their bones are broken; Bai Pu is essentially an outsider. If Bai Pu were to take action against the Copper Pipe Gunther trio, it's hard to say what the others would think.

Judging from Bart's expression, at least he didn't want to fight Gunther.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense after Gunther and his two companions left.

Bai Pu looked at Bart: "Any news from the Rose Arena?"

Bart knew that Bai Pu was asking about his two teammates—"Goddess of Wushan" and "Blood Spider"—and replied, "Our team also has members in the Rose Arena. They sent back the secret messages from your two teammates."

As he spoke, Bart passed a string of purely numerical messages to Bai Pu.

This string of numbers was encoded using the English alphabet from Earth. This was something Bai Pu and the two witches had agreed upon beforehand.

Upon receiving this string of numbers, Bai Pu first deciphered it into English letters, then combined them into words, and finally strung them into sentences, translating them into Chinese.

After reading the messages from the two witches, Bai Pu smiled.

"It's true what they say, when one door closes, another opens... Bart, please pass on my message immediately."

"it is good."

Bart remained worried and said, "Lord Steelheart, what should we do with Gunther and the others? Will it affect your plans?"

"If I said that they were also part of the plan, could you accept that emotionally?" Bai Pu suddenly asked quietly.

"ah?" ……

In the lower city, in a small alley.

“Boss Gunther, is it really okay for us to leave the group? Without that iris silver coin as a token, we can’t even get into the Dmitri family mansion.”

Gunther, walking ahead, sneered: "Does Steelheart really think he's the protagonist of the world, that the world will end without him? Of course I have my own ways!"

He led the two men to the end of the alley.

"mia~mia~"

The sounds of cats meowing rose and fell.

Gunther knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing a tall woman with a curvaceous figure, though she was wrapped in a thick, bandage-like dress. A short-tailed cat was nestled in her arms, its green eyes somewhat eerie.

"why is it you again?"

The woman who owns the cat seemed very impatient.

Gunther said, "Greetings, Ms. Alice. I know your identity—a member of the Dmitri family's secret guards, and a commander of those guards, is that right?"

The woman who owned the cat—Ms. Alice—narrowed her eyes, a dangerous, sharp glint in them:

“What are you trying to say? Gunther, you should know that a clever rat doesn’t live long.”

“I have important intelligence that I need to report to Mrs. Reese. Reese Dmitri, your mistress.”

Ms. Alice shook her head: "Are you a bodyguard?"

"Not yet."

"Do you have a token from your wife?"

"The token exists, but unfortunately it's not with me; it's with someone else."

Gunther spoke eloquently, “Unfortunately, Lady Reishi entrusted the wrong person. The fellow who possessed the silver coin clearly learned very important information, yet he concealed it from us. I suspect he is plotting a major conspiracy against the Dmitri family!”

“Very important intelligence? What intelligence?” Ms. Alice asked.

"I'm sorry, I will only reveal the details of the intelligence after I see Madam."

Gunther said cautiously.

Ms. Alice gave a mocking smile and was about to refuse when she heard Gunther say:

"It's about the 'Naga conspiracy.' Alice, I guarantee that if you refuse me today because of your arrogance... you will be severely punished by the Madam in the future!"

Ms. Alice was silent for a moment, then finally issued a warning:
“I can take you to see the lady. However, if this is just a silly trick you're playing, I will have my little darlings devour every last bit of your flesh.”

Brass tube Gunther grinned in victory.

"You can rest assured about that; I would never risk my life."

Under the admiring gazes of his two companions, Brass Gunther followed Ms. Alice through the dark alleys and onto the deserted paths, heading towards the "Upper Town".
