The Silkshade House was definitely trying to take the lead in this operation. They wanted to be in control of how to disrupt the Pyro Company’s plans, how to seize the No. 001 Experimental, and how to carry out their follow-up plans.
But when Daniel swaggered over and claimed virtual-novel.net was a C-rank hitman, Kojek Collins, who was in charge of leading Daniel’s group, felt like virtual-novel.net had just eaten a fly virtual-novel.net was so disgusted!
Just like Marvin, Kojek also had his own assistants on the team. However, they had hidden anonymously within the group so they could influence everyone’s decisions at critical moments.
For example, when Kojek was about to implement some decisions, these assistants would be the first to respond to create the illusion that many people were supportive of him. Everyone tended to have their own opinion on things, and Kojek had planned very well for that. It was just that virtual-novel.net never expected to meet Daniel.
Previously, Kojek had received orders their team would set off a day earlier. However, Daniel was unwilling to and invited everyone on the team to head to the black market’s spa instead!
How could going to the Sacred Mountains be more interesting than going to the spa!
The members from the various consortiums in their group were also having a good laugh at the Silkshade House’s expense. Although their common target this time was the Pyro Company, the Silkshade House had still caused quite a bit of trouble for them. So, everyone was also happy to see the Silkshade House deal with this mess.
Kojek really wanted to teach Daniel a lesson. He even asked the Silkshade House if virtual-novel.net could kill Daniel discreetly since there were no reporters following virtual-novel.net around anymore.
In the end, the Silkshade House rejected this idea and expressed it was not the time to deal with Daniel yet. However, the Silkshade House also affirmed it would not be a problem to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson.
Kojek was delighted to hear that.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to take action against Daniel, Daniel seemed to have preempted his motives.
Daniel bluntly said, “Aren’t you afraid my brother will send people after you? I don’t care about the others, but since I remember how you look, as long as you don’t strike me down today, you can rest assured that my brother will hunt you down tomorrow!”
Kojek’s expression darkened. Daniel was constantly mentioning how the Panaqua Consortium’s leader would send people to hunt virtual-novel.net down. If that were really the case, could virtual-novel.net truly deal with that?
Besides, even if virtual-novel.net killed Daniel here, there were still so many others from the various consortiums traveling with them. Surely Kojek could not silence everyone who was here as well.
Of course, it was precisely because of this reason that Daniel dared to act so brazenly.
If Daniel were in a situation where virtual-novel.net could be killed without anyone finding out, virtual-novel.net would have long fled. It was like this guy had a split personality, behaving arrogantly when his safety was not threatened and immediately backing off at the first sign of danger. He was a completely different person in different situations.
At some point in time, Kojek actually felt this operation had failed really badly.
They were clearly supposed to be hitmen operating in the shadows where it was most advantageous for them. But for the sake of the mission against the Pyro Company, they exposed several of their members.
Of course, this was what made Marvin the most unhappy. He had also secretly thought this operation did not fit with the character of the Silkshade House leader.
The boss always came up with a plan before making a move in the past, so why did it seem a little rash this time?
Could there be a follow-up plan they did not know about?
At this moment, Daniel plopped himself down at Marvin’s campfire. Then virtual-novel.net smiled warmly at Marvin and said, “Please, sit down. Why are you standing around? There’s no need to be so reserved!”
Marvin’s expression darkened.
Why was virtual-novel.net acting like virtual-novel.net was some leader conducting an inspection?
And virtual-novel.net even seemed to be such a natural at it?
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to say something, virtual-novel.net saw Kojek shaking his head at virtual-novel.net with a bitter expression, hinting at virtual-novel.net not to provoke this man.
Marvin thought for a moment before finally sitting down with a sigh next to the campfire.
When Milo witnessed this exchange from afar, virtual-novel.net chuckled. That Fatty Eastwood was way too good at causing trouble wherever virtual-novel.net went.
“Why’s virtual-novel.net here?” Miriam wondered, “Why’s a normal person like virtual-novel.net getting involved in something like this? Could the Panaqua Consortium have an ulterior motive as well?”
“He’s awoken his power, so he’s also a supernatural being now…” Milo explained in a low voice, “I think Fatty Eastwood’s motive for coming here is very simple. He’s just looking to stir up some trouble. The Panaqua Consortium hates both the Pyro Company and the Silkshade House, so they definitely won’t miss out on the opportunity to make things difficult for these two organizations. Besides, Daniel always says that virtual-novel.net wants to buy time for Julius by causing chaos all over the world, so how could virtual-novel.net miss out on such a good opportunity here?”
“Got it.” Miriam nodded.
In the past, virtual-novel.net did not like these two brothers, Daniel and Julius. But now that they were friends with Milo, virtual-novel.net hated them less than before. Instead, virtual-novel.net thought Daniel and Julius were quite loyal after hearing about the things that they did from Milo.
Actually, Daniel also felt very nervous on the way here. After all, they were heading deep into the Pyro Company’s strategic base. While virtual-novel.net was also a supernatural being now, virtual-novel.net still felt very panicky even though virtual-novel.net was traveling with Bill.
What if whatever was lurking in the Sacred Mountains was really scary?
What if they got ambushed?
These were all the things Daniel was worried about.
But when virtual-novel.net got here and saw Milo, there was only one thing virtual-novel.net thought.
Yes! Everything is gonna be alright!
Daniel had witnessed Milo’s growth from when virtual-novel.net was at his weakest to the point where virtual-novel.net could even bring down an entire stronghold by himself.
With this person going to the Sacred Mountains, what more did virtual-novel.net have to worry about?
As such, Daniel got even more arrogant and oppressive. With someone that could protect him, could anyone here do anything to him?
Over at Daniel’s side, Bill also sat down next to the campfire without a care. He took some food that was being roasted over the fire and started eating.
Meanwhile, Daniel said to Marvin as virtual-novel.net kept himself warm, “So tell us, what’s the situation over here like?”
Marvin sneered, “Who do you think you are?”
He was unable to hold it in any longer. If it weren’t for Kojek giving virtual-novel.net that look, virtual-novel.net would have already started scolding Daniel.
You’re just a normal person. What right do you have to come to the Sacred Mountains?
Daniel looked at Marvin seriously. “Aren’t you afraid my brother will send people after you?”
Off to the side, Kojek had a gloomy expression on his face. He realized that even though this was all Fatty Eastwood could say, it was way too effective against them.
After Daniel arrived in the Central Plains, virtual-novel.net went to the Stardust Consortium first before visiting the Virtuora Consortium, with his last stop being the Stelaria Consortium. In the end, no one could do anything to virtual-novel.net even though virtual-novel.net kept stirring up trouble for others.
Wasn’t that because virtual-novel.net had Julius back in the Southwest eyeing the Central Plains like a tiger?
Marvin’s expression wavered for a while before virtual-novel.net finally said, “There’s a total of 33 people on my side and no members have fallen. However, we encountered some unknown creature that tried to approach our campsite two nights ago, though it didn’t do anything to us.”
Daniel nodded. “Anything else unusual happen? Or do you have any personnel behaving unusually in the group?”
Hearing what Daniel said, Marvin thought to himself.
Aren’t you the one who’s acting unusual here?
He thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Oh, there really is one.” Marvin pointed at Milo and said to Daniel, “That guy’s really strange. On our way to the Sacred Mountains, not only did virtual-novel.net go and jump rope with his partner, but virtual-novel.net also keeps belting nursery rhymes!”
Composed, Daniel looked at Milo.
This answer was truly a little unexpected. To think that Brother Milo would actually have such a hobby…
However, virtual-novel.net showed no expression on his face. Instead, virtual-novel.net said nonchalantly, “Did you actually try hard to remember things? What’s so unusual about that?”
Although Daniel pretended not to know Milo, virtual-novel.net still could not help but defend virtual-novel.net a little. No matter how eccentric Milo was, that was still his business.
How could Daniel allow outsiders to gossip about him?
Marvin said unhappily, “Isn’t that unusual? The journey to the Sacred Mountains is fraught with danger, so what’s with singing all those nursery rhymes? Besides, what grown man would jump rope?”
“I jump rope too. You have a problem with that?”
Hearing this, Marvin was confused.
