A man standing behind the gray-haired man quickly pressed for an answer.

"Yes... the owner of the Verola."

The middle-aged man stiffened, then leaned forward and fainted.

"doctor!"

The gray-haired man reached out and hugged the middle-aged man, then immediately called out to those behind him.

Chapter 510 We Won't Die (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Mr. Rhodes, just who is this 'owner of the Verola'?"

In the brightly lit conference room, an elderly-looking, impeccably dressed brown-haired man looked at the documents in his hand, his gaze drifting to the gray-haired man sitting at the head of the conference room.

"Colonel Rett, this is part of the intelligence regarding the 'Owner of the Verola',"

A young man sitting to Rhodes' left took out a piece of paper and handed it to the old man.

"Based on the intelligence we obtained from the research institute, this 'owner of the Verola' claims to be named 'Hao Yi.' We have not found any information about his affiliation with any faction. In the previous battle for the Verola, he emerged as the final winner and seized control of the Class B Verola."

"In fact, prior to this incident, the only intelligence we had was that he killed a C-level superhuman sorcerer."

"This led us to misjudge his strength, thinking that he was just a very strong and intelligent Class C who gained control of the Verola by exploiting certain rules within the Verola."

"However, after tonight, we may have to change some of his intelligence records."

"So, the owner of the Verola killed that B-rank monster in ten seconds. He was a powerful B-rank?"

The old man, known as Colonel Ritter, glanced at the contents of the document and said with some concern.

“It’s not certain at the moment,” the young man replied.

"Although our 'psychic' can sense things we can't 'see' through some kind of ability, he only said that the mutated monster might be B-rank, but he didn't say that the 'owner of the Verola' who killed the monster was B-rank. If the owner of the Verola used some kind of supernatural item, it is also possible that he could kill a B-rank."

"Unfortunately, the psychic fell into a coma after giving the information, and his two teammates also temporarily lost some of their memories, otherwise we might have been able to obtain more detailed information."

"Let's treat him as a B-level for now. If he can kill a B-level person, it proves that he has B-level strength."

The man, who had remained silent until now, spoke slowly. His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable authority.

“Yes, Mr. Rhodes.”

The young man nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

"Colonel Rhett, please trust us, Moonlight will protect you and your family in the Empire,"

Rhodes turned to look at the old man, Rhett, "However, the situation is rather complicated now, so we need the strong support of your military police. We need you to arrange for the military police to search for the people listed in our files."

"That's no problem. I became the commander of the Ruodan Military Police to serve Moonlight."

Rhett immediately said, as if he were ready to go through fire and water at any moment.

“Of course, we all know your loyalty to Moonlight,” Rhodes said with a smile, slowly rising and extending his hand. “Thank you for your help.”

"No trouble at all, it's an honor to work for Moonlight."

The two shook hands, and the old man smiled as he walked out of the conference room.

"An old dog,"

A woman wearing a bodycon skirt walked in from the inside of the conference room and began tidying up the documents on the table.

"They won't do anything unless they receive the protection you personally promised."

“We need people like this to cooperate in order to protect the organization’s interests in Ruodan.”

Rhodes said slowly, then looked at the woman in the pencil skirt, "How much longer until Anlen and Enko arrive in Ellen?"

"The two gentlemen have already boarded the plane and will arrive in Ellen by tomorrow morning at the latest."

The woman in the bodycon skirt immediately spoke.

“Mr. Rhodes,” the young man beside him asked softly, “could those two C-rank gentlemen from before also be the owners of this Verola…?”

"It's possible, but unlikely."

Rhodes shook his head. "That day, Li Le went to the airport to pick up people from the research institute. They most likely died at the hands of the mysterious C-level personnel from the research institute."

"But we haven't found this mysterious C-grade yet,"

The young man sighed, "Several department heads from the research institute's field operations department have made appearances outside, so it's unlikely they'll be in Ellen anytime soon."

"With this mysterious C-rank still missing, we now have another owner of the Verola. I wonder if this B-rank's goal is the relic passage. If so, should we seek cooperation with the World Tree?"

“If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,” the woman in the bodycon skirt said. “When facing a B-level opponent, the World Tree should cooperate with us. After all, they don’t want the ruins passage to fall into the hands of the research institute or the owner of the Verola, who is completely outside the rules. It just means we might have to give up some of our spots.”

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and said with some doubt, "There are still several days before the ruins open, why is the owner of the Verola revealing himself so early? Wouldn't it have been better if he hid and launched a surprise attack at the end?"

The question left the young man in front of her momentarily speechless; he couldn't fathom why the owner of the Verola had done such a thing.

“He doesn’t care if we unite; this operation was deliberately orchestrated to be seen by our people, to tell everyone,”

Rhodes, standing to the side, slowly said, "'He's here.'"

In that instant, the office fell silent. They seemed to feel a massive shadow looming over the entire city, a terrifying sense of oppression spreading outwards.

"First, arrange for someone to investigate that Shadow Club. Compared to the terrifying owner of the Verola, we should be more wary of this venomous snake lurking right under our noses."

Rhodes said slowly.

"Yes."

The young man nodded in agreement.

"Your twenty-five skewers of lamb."

The stall owner handed over the grilled lamb skewers, carrying a plastic bag.

"Thank you."

He Ao took the lamb skewers, took out a banknote to pay, and looked up at the night sky.

In his mind, a series of unfamiliar thoughts kept recurring. These were the surface thoughts of that Dawn C-level, and these thoughts were filled with words such as 'Hao Yi', 'boss', and 'club'.

It seems that this person had just reported what had just happened to the 'boss' through some means.

However, apart from that, there was nothing else in this person's mind.

There were no tasks for the next stage, nor any response from the 'boss'.

'

The boss seemed to listen to the report quietly without making any response.

A cunning fox.

He Ao deactivated his super memory, severing his connection with the C-level thought, and then took a skewer of lamb from the plastic bag and put it in his mouth.

The 'boss' couldn't possibly remain indifferent to 'Hao Yi's' appearance, after all, 'Hao Yi' knew his deepest secret.

The reason he didn't reply to that C-level person was probably because he was worried that the C-level person's whereabouts had been exposed, and that 'Hao Yi' had deliberately let him out to lure him in.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

The boss is very cautious.

However, this was within He Ao's expectations, and he did not take back the mark he placed on that C-level person.

The boss doesn't have many C-level personnel at his disposal, and even fewer trusted confidants he can send to Ruodan. These people are likely to have a deep connection with the boss, and the boss wouldn't really leave a C-level person idle. If he doesn't let this C-level person investigate matters related to Hao Yi, he will assign him other tasks.

These tasks may contain clues about the 'boss's' true identity and whereabouts.

The water has been stirred up; now we just need to follow the trails left by the disturbed fish to find their tracks.

Not only is there a 'boss', but there's also that mysterious primitive sect.

Although the dancing woman was a C-rank, her strength was still too weak. In the end, she could only barely become a monster on the verge of becoming a B-rank by relying on the power of the gods. Such a life force could not withstand the 'divine oracle'.

But after Heo killed the woman who had turned into a monster, he did not sense anyone else nearby.

And if that church leader really exists in the club, he probably wouldn't let Heo destroy the club so easily.

In other words, the mysterious leader of the original church is still hiding somewhere.

Of course, He Ao wasn't entirely without clues about this person's identity.

He went into a late-night convenience store, bought a notebook and some pencils, then hailed a taxi, sat in the back, and quickly sketched a portrait of the woman from his memory.

The woman in the club was a C-rank, and there are only so many C-ranks in the main world.

He Ao took a picture of the portrait and sent it to Yang De, asking Yang De to help him find any relevant clues. He also briefly described what had happened that night.

It should be afternoon in the Middle Kingdom at this time, and Yang De quickly replied to the message.

Yang De: [Rose, a citizen of the Western Tumok Republic, a member of the World Tree, she entered the ruins two years ago when she was still a D-rank.]

Yang De: [After that ruins ended, we lost information about her. She may have obtained some kind of opportunity in the ruins and advanced to C-rank.]

Yang De: [Based on the information you provided, she may have been sent to Ruodan to become a member of an intelligence organization.]

He Ao: [Will she be in charge of the World Tree in Ruodan?]

Yang De: [Based on the intelligence we have received, the person in charge of the World Tree in Ruodan is most likely that 'Puppet Master.' He is an old-school C-rank from the World Tree, and his strength is even greater. Our intelligence personnel have double-checked his...]

Based on his whereabouts, it is suspected that he may have entered Ruodan a long time ago.

So the World Tree has always had two C-rank characters in Ruodan?

He Ao's thoughts flashed by quickly.

Based on the information left by the deceased, he previously speculated that the World Tree's headquarters in Ruodan might be located in the southern part of Ellen City. When that 'mysterious shadow' began its descent, the person in charge of the World Tree had a high probability of 'observing' it.

At the time, he calculated that the World Tree only had one C-level being. Now, it seems that if the World Tree had two C-level beings, and if both of them were in Nancheng at the time, would they have both directly 'observed' the deity itself?

One of the two was Rose, the woman who danced, who became a follower of the Mysterious Shadow.

What about the other one?

What about that even more powerful 'puppet master', with an even stronger soul?

Will he have experienced less pollution and shock than Rose?

In the battle at the club just now, the people of Moonlight appeared, the people of Dawn appeared, but no one from World Tree, which has also been operating in Ellen City for many years, appeared.
