Chapter 618 An Unexpected Partner

"You just said that Nick failed?"

Drovell sized up the young man in front of him, frowning slightly, wondering how Lan Zhuo knew about the news that he himself was unaware of.
Facing Droville's questioning gaze, Lan Zhuo adjusted his glasses, his voice calm and steady.

"To be precise, he was destined to fail."

The meaning of this statement is somewhat intriguing, and even more enigmatic.

Drowell, hidden behind the mask, sneered, leaned back on the sofa, and placed his hands folded on his knees.

Nigrum stood guard behind Droville, constantly watching out for Lan Zhuo and the surrounding area.

"We're partners now, why are you playing games with me?"

Droville, who always preferred to keep the initiative in his own hands, was very dissatisfied with Lan Zhuo's behavior.

Lan Zhuo, however, scoffed at the word "partner" he used.

"We, the Lan family, would never stoop to cooperating with people like you."

Drowell was well aware of Lan Zhuo's arrogance as a member of the Lan family, but he didn't get angry because of it.

After all, the reason he chose to turn Lan Zhuo against his own side was because he valued Lan Zhuo's inherent arrogance.

Despite being from the same family, Landon, thanks to his family's talent, became the world's most renowned commander on the battlefield.

As an ordinary person, Lan Zhuo could only work as an unknown researcher, and was even sent to the nature reserve as a veterinarian.

Droville didn't believe he would do it willingly, without any resentment.

Beneath the mask, Droville, who was adept at concealing his expression, raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain playing at the corners of his mouth, yet his tone sounded quite familiar.

"Of course I know, we just have the same goal."

Both Deroville and Lan Zhuo had a clear goal—Liang He.

Droville sees Liang He as his nemesis, while Lan Zhuo is very interested in Liang He.

Study her interests.

This was one of the reasons why Droville persuaded Lan Zhuo to give Liang He to Lan Zhuo for research.

"However... temporary cooperation is still cooperation, isn't it?"

Since it's a collaboration, there should be sincerity in doing so.

"If this plan fails, you probably won't get what you want."

“You’re right, so I came.”

Lan Zhuo's ability to go directly to Droville's stronghold was naturally at his insistence.

Since it's a collaboration, basic honesty is essential.

Otherwise, Lan Zhuo would have reason to suspect that Droville would use him and then throw him out. Who would he complain to then?
Lan Zhuo's actions were clearly within Drogwell's acceptable range, and he naturally assumed that this was a sign that Lan Zhuo genuinely wanted to cooperate.

However, Drogwell still had a backup plan. Instead of giving the location coordinates directly to Lan Zhuo, he sent someone to pick him up from the 'false coordinates that Landon had analyzed earlier', and he was blindfolded the whole time.

"So, what did you mean when you said Nick was destined to fail?"

Finally, they got to the point.

Lan Zhuo didn't keep her in suspense any longer.

"You should know that a large part of the reason I went from the research institute to the nature reserve as a veterinarian was for Liang He."

At that time, Liang He saved the dying Silver Moon Wolf with a pill.

The Silver Moon Wolf not only survived, but its strength was also greatly enhanced, which attracted Lan Zhuo's attention and interest.

"I know, that's why we're cooperating here, isn't it?"

When Droville saw Lan Zhuo bring up Liang He again, he thought he was reminding him not to forget the promise they made to cooperate.

"The key lies in Liang He."

Lan Zhuo directly told Drovell all the information he had learned.

“Once a Class A ferocious beast faces Liang He, it will only have the fate of bowing down and submitting; it has no chance of winning.”

The Class A ferocious beast is Nick's greatest weapon in this attack on the Endless Ice Domain.

That's why Lan Zhuo said he was destined to fail.

"Ha—you mean, my Class A beast legion can't defeat a human?"

Not even an orc?!

Even though Drowell had become suspicious of the Black Wizard and didn't acknowledge his existence, the strength of a Class A ferocious beast was still undeniable. He didn't believe that Liang He alone could turn the tide and break his long-planned scheme!

"Didn't the black wizard tell you that Liang He was actually the first work he researched?"

Seeing the suspicion in Drogwell's eyes, Lan Zhuo calmly continued to ask questions.

His question truly struck a chord with Droville.

"He did mention it..."

But at the time it was just speculation.

Later, Cyril sent someone to verify this, but it was temporarily put on hold due to the impending war.

"Then that's correct."

Lan Zhuo relayed all the information he had learned to Droville.

He also stated that this information was obtained by him personally going to Blue Star as a member of the Lan family, and that no one else could find out about it.

"The Second Beast God is the foundation for creating ferocious beasts, but do you know why he is number two?"

Since there is number two, there must also be number one.

And who Number One is is now obvious.

"So the number one beast god... is Liang He?"

Even so, Drogwell still felt that Lan Zhuo was making a fuss over nothing.

Back when Number Two was still at headquarters, he didn't see anything special about Number Two, let alone the ability to control or crush ferocious beasts.

"Hmph, do you think Number One is just a simple code name?"

Noticing Droville's indifference, Lan Zhuo scoffed lightly.

"From the very beginning of the evolutionary period, the special treatment the orcs gave her should have made you realize that she was different from others."

There are quite a few orcs in the rebel army.

Even though SSS-class orcs are rare, Drovell still has a few under his command.

But among them, did any of them ever have any special feelings for Number Two?
absolutely not!

"This means that there is a fundamental difference between Number One and Number Two."

It must be said that Lan Zhuo's words did indeed serve as a wake-up call for Drogwell.

"You mean, Number One can control the ferocious beast?"

"No, it's more terrifying than you can imagine. Not only can she control the ferocious beasts, but she can also enhance their strength, and even the strength of the beastmen!"

Lan Zhuo's glasses reflected the light, but could not hide the excitement and exhilaration in his eyes.

His behavior, in Drover's eyes, made him seem more like a research fanatic immersed in his studies, which actually made Drover more relaxed.

"If what you say is true, then I don't want Nick to succeed."

Droville had a long-term vision.

An operation targeting the Silverwing Temple, even if successful, would only be a temporary suppression, causing the temple to lose some of its prestige.

But if he could get Liang He under his control, he would not only have a more powerful army of ferocious beasts, but he would also have the lifeline of the orcs!

Who doesn't want to become stronger?!
"In that case, I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?"

Seeing that Droville had taken the bait, Lan Zhuo remained calm and continued the conversation.

At this moment, Drovell, who was much less wary of Lan Zhuo, put away his confident demeanor behind his mask and instead smiled and raised his hand, signaling Lan Zhuo to continue.

"please."

"Liang He is very powerful. It's impossible to capture her unless she does so willingly."

Drowell felt this deeply.

After all, he had tried it more than once, and the only time he succeeded was because Liang He did it on purpose.

"But having been by her side for so long, I also know her weaknesses very well."

As the veterinarian of the reserve, Lan Zhuo had much more contact with Liang He than they did.

This is one of the reasons why Drewell chose him.

"Liang He is too sentimental, and I can be the bait to catch her."
