Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Tiger Girl couldn't contact Li Hao after the Tide Prison closed yesterday, and she didn't get a good night's sleep.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when official news confirmed that no one had gotten lost during the operation.

The next morning, she sat at her desk, still unable to contact Li Hao. When she opened the news, she couldn't understand the headlines at all.

"Exploded! Two bosses have appeared in Tidal Prison, and even more outrageous—they're actually fighting each other like crazy inside the prison! Players are stunned: This dungeon can be played like this?!"

Shocking! The most "blind and deaf" helmet in Tide Prison miraculously saves a player, Old K, from multiple sniper shots, all thanks to this "metallic" helmet!

Shocking! Map Boss "Warden" Shows Mercy to Three Players from Dragon Age; Collusion Behind the Scenes Sparks Online Controversy—The Truth Revealed, Everyone Remains Silent!

Tiger Girl frowned as she stared at the shocking headlines filling the screen. When she saw the last one, she was even more confused: what does "collusion behind the scenes" mean?

"Li Hao, Manager Zhang wants us to come over!" Chen Xiaoxun pushed open the door to Li Hao's office inside the club.

"Manager Zhang? What's wrong?" Li Hao had already guessed what was going on, but asked deliberately.

"No, but what else could it be? It's what happened yesterday."

Li Hao nodded and went to the conference room with Chen Xiaoxun.

As soon as I entered, Jiang Chi was already inside.

"Li Hao, Chen Xiaoxun, you're here? Have a seat!" Manager Zhang greeted them as soon as they entered.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer, let's get straight to the point." Manager Zhang took out a document in his hand, "Based on the intelligence materials you submitted after you were released from prison yesterday, the club's higher-ups have determined its value."

"Among them, the Raven's equipment and the Prison Level 1 Access Card are the two items with the highest direct value."

"Thank you all for your contributions. The equipment and access cards are being returned to you as requested. In addition, the club will issue corresponding rewards for the information you provided."

"However," Manager Zhang's tone changed, becoming serious, "something has gone viral since last night."

Manager Zhang turned on the projector in the conference room. "A casual operator publicly stated that there is a relationship between the Dragon Club and the Warden, the map boss of Tide Prison."

"The other party is, after all, a solo player, but the hype surrounding him has suddenly surged to the forefront in a very short time, which is very likely due to manipulation by other clubs behind the scenes."

"It's not realistic to suppress the hype right now, so we're looking for more detailed information about the Warden's mission."

Manager Zhang paused, his gaze sweeping across Sanren's face, "and make him public."

"Huh? We're going to publish the intelligence we went through so much trouble to get?" Chen Xiaoxun stood up and complained.

"Yes, this information gap allows us to head straight to the mission location when we go to Tide Prison to accept missions. With the warden's protection, we can safely loot supplies!"

"If this is made public to others, then..." Chen Xiaoxun was still talking.

"There are rumors circulating outside that the Dragon Club and the Map Boss are in cahoots, which is very bad for us," Manager Zhang explained. "Only by releasing this information can we explain that the warden has nothing to do with us."

Chen Xiaoxun remained silent for a moment, opening his mouth several times as if to think of something but then swallowing it back. In the end, not knowing what to say, he slumped back into his chair.

"Manager Zhang, let me explain. I accidentally triggered the Crow Hunter mission," Lin Chi explained.

"The warden and his personal guard are in a room next to the warden's office. That door cannot be opened from the outside; it can only be opened by the warden after a mission has been assigned."

"After that, the warden was no longer hostile towards us."

"until……"

"Until?" Manager Zhang pressed.

"Until the warden killed the raven, a voice sounded in my head. It was a mission notification. He told us to take the opportunity to ambush the warden."

"We didn't dare to launch a sneak attack, so the mission is considered incomplete." Jiang Chi explained briefly, and Supervisor Zhang finished taking notes.

"Operation Crow Hunter...right?" Manager Zhang confirmed again.

"Yes."

"So, the warden and the raven really aren't in cahoots?"

"That should be the idea. They fought quite fiercely in the end, but the gap between the Raven's forces and the Warden's forces was still too large," Jiang Chi added.

"Okay, I understand." Manager Zhang closed his notebook. "Don't go out during this time, and don't have any contact with anyone outside the club."

"I need to report the matter to my superiors first, and then inform you after I've settled things, to avoid any misinterpretation if you go out unintentionally."

"Understood." Jiang Chi nodded.

That's all we can do now. We never expected that the lone wolf they rescued would cause such a big mess.

"Damn it, we should have just not saved him. If Raven had shot him dead, none of this would have happened!" Chen Xiaoxun cursed.

"Did you kill the raven?" Jiang Chi said irritably. "It's no use now. This matter has to be resolved sooner or later. Although the club is not as comfortable as home, it still has everything."

"Until the news is released, you should rest properly." Jiang Chi got up and left the conference room.

"Sigh, alright then, consider it a holiday." Chen Xiaoxun sighed, patted Li Hao on the shoulder, and left the conference room.

Li Hao was now the only one left in the conference room. He took out his phone, hesitated for a while, and then sent a message to Tiger Girl: "I'm fine, I'll contact you later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The reply came instantly.

Li Hao smirked slightly and went back to his office.

……

"Distinguished leaders, this is the situation. I have finished reporting." Manager Zhang nodded slightly as he finished reporting to the large screen.

"This is indeed a major discovery! There's no other way but to make it public!"

"Whatever, let it be public. All we'll know is that the warden and Raven are adversaries! This is a good thing for us! It's a good way to contribute to that UN joint project."

"And another thing! Wait, could the mission have two sides? We don't need to reveal this; let them figure it out themselves!"

"You're so sly! Hahaha! I love it!"

"Alright, Zhang, you handle this. You've done a great job this time, so don't let them get discouraged."

"Okay, boss, I understand." Manager Zhang bowed again, this time bowing even deeper.

"By the way, I saw that there were three trending headlines, two of which were about us. What strange thing was mixed in between?" a leader on the big screen suddenly asked.

"Uh..." This question stumped Manager Zhang. "It seemed to be about helmets or something, I didn't pay attention..."

"Hmm, take a look when you have nothing to do. I think it might be related to the Tide Prison incident."

"yes!"
