Abyss Dominator System

Chapter 497: Invitation Card to the Gathering of Darkness


Inside the room, An Xiaowan was engrossed in a domestic soap opera, holding a bag of chips in her hand and occasionally stuffing them into her small mouth.

"Xiao Wan, why aren't you watching 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf' anymore?"

Bai Yan sat on the edge of An Xiaowan's bed, smiling gently.

"Um, Brother Yan, I've grown up and don't want to watch cartoons anymore."

An Xiaowan snuggled over, tossed aside the chips, and lazily embraced Bai Yan's arm as she spoke.

Bai Yan rubbed An Xiaowan's little head, and the two spoke softly to each other.

"Xiao Wan, can I discuss something with you?"

"What is it, Brother Yan?"

"How about I sleep in your room tonight?"

As they chatted, Bai Yan began to show his true intentions.

"Ah? Why does Brother Yan want to sleep in my room at night?"

An Xiaowan blinked, tilting her head and looking at Bai Yan with a puzzled gaze.

Her thoughts were still on the TV drama, and her little brain didn't immediately catch the implication in Bai Yan's words.

When she saw Bai Yan's ambiguous and profound gaze, An Xiaowan's fair little face turned bright red in an instant.

She understood what Bai Yan meant.

An Xiaowan's heart pounded fiercely within her chest, her head nearly bowing down to her chest.

"But... but if sister finds out, she'll be angry... Sister said before marriage, I shouldn't let Brother Yan touch me."

An Xiaowan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's, extremely shy.

An Yan's intentions were good; she was extremely protective of An Xiaowan and naturally wished for Bai Yan to give An Xiaowan a proper status before doing anything else; however, Elder Mr. An was an uncertain factor. Currently, Bai Yan still didn't dare bring the two women back to the country.

The An sisters were already his women, and Elder Mr. An was naturally Bai Yan's grandfather as well. Bai Yan certainly didn't want to fall out with his future grandfather over this matter.

"Don't you want it?"

Bai Yan raised an eyebrow, asking with a sly smile.

An Xiaowan was silent for a long moment, gripping Bai Yan's arm with her onion-like fingers and whispering in an even softer voice, "I do..."

Her voice was extremely weak, her face completely flushed red, and An Xiaowan's heartbeat quickened even more.

The little girl had grown up and had started to understand certain matters...

"Then tonight, remember to leave the door unlocked for Brother Yan."

Bai Yan sported a triumphant smile, lips curved in a touch of mischief.

"Mhm..."

An Xiaowan's eyes blurred with a misty allure as she hummed lightly.

She lowered her head back to the TV drama, but her thoughts had flown who knows where.

Like all the women, she was madly in love with Bai Yan, throwing all reason and reserve out of her mind; as long as her beloved man wanted her, An Xiaowan was willing to give Bai Yan anything, even her own soul.

She was like a moth to the flame, unafraid of any consequence, only wishing for the warmth in Bai Yan's embrace to endure in her heart.

After accompanying An Xiaowan in watching the TV drama for a while longer, Bai Yan turned and left the villa to attend to the affairs of Demon Island.

Though romance was intoxicating, he couldn't forget the important matters at hand!

Demon Island was currently undergoing rapid development. Even though many matters didn't require Bai Yan's personal involvement, he still needed to keep a firm grasp on the overall direction.

Just as Bai Yan had reached the central control hall of Demon Island, he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation coming from a corner within the Abyss Territory. This energy fluctuation was of the SSS level.

Bai Yan was taken aback.

Why would there be SSS level energy fluctuations within my Abyss Territory?

Strange...

Bai Yan activated the screen, searching for energy fluctuations within the Abyss Territory.

A pitch-black card caught Bai Yan's eye.

It looked somewhat familiar.

Bai Yan reached out to grab the pitch-black card and examined it closely.

The card was entwined with mysterious patterns, the lines of which were a blood-like crimson, and it pulsed with a powerful SSS-grade force.

He remembered now; this was the invitation card for the Dark Council that the Vampire named Ryan gave to him in Ba City, inviting important figures or leaders from major global forces to attend a dark gathering.

Bai Yan had recently been busy conquering a subordinate dimension and had almost forgotten about this matter.

Bai Yan looked down at the invitation.

The pattern on the black card flowed ceaselessly, gradually forming a line of fluid English.

[The gathering of the Dark Council will be held in Paris, at Lide Castle. Please arrive within three days; you may bring one partner of the opposite sex to the dance, do not bring others, and do not provoke His Highness, the Prince].

"Quite interesting..."

Bai Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of a smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Yan, what are you looking at?"

Right at that moment, Chen Yudong approached, holding his laptop, and greeted Bai Yan with some confusion.

"Yu Dong, your timing is perfect. Go gather some information on the recent activities of the Dark Council for me, especially about the recent dark gathering they're hosting."

Bai Yan shook the black card in his hand and said with a smile: "Look, they sent me an invitation a while ago, and I'm contemplating whether to go or not."

"Okay, Brother Yan, give me half an hour."

Chen Yudong was taken aback, then confidently responded.

He was the most powerful information collector on Demon Island, and with the assistance of the Red Queen and the White Queen, inquiring about a matter that wasn't quite a secret was all too easy.

In less than half an hour, Chen Yudong presented Bai Yan with a thick dossier of detailed information.

It recorded the Dark Council's recent movements and matters related to the dark gathering.

"Half a month ago, Prince Algernon Matthew of the Dark Council personally received a Red Archbishop from the Bright Church in Paris. They held a secret meeting for three days. Following that, the Dark Council and the Bright Church's Organization simultaneously announced the signing of a ten-year peace treaty, with both sides agreeing not to initiate attacks on the other, nor on any members under their command."

"A week ago, the Dark Council retracted its minions, and the scope of its members' activities progressively decreased."

"Three days ago, the dark gathering invitations were completely dispatched. Prince Algernon Matthew of the Blood Clan will personally preside over the gathering, which covers an extremely wide range, involving practically all major Abnormal People Organizations globally."

...

Further down, there were numerous speculations and gossip about the dark gathering, as well as Chen Yudong's analysis.

Dark Gathering: It is held once a year, and it is an event meant for the Dark Council to strengthen and deepen its influence over the underground Abnormal People, with most participants being from the Dark Camp.

At each year's dark gathering, a large number of antique treasures are auctioned, mainly ancient Huaxia artifacts, and other Abnormal People Organizations can also offer items for auction.

Besides the auction, the most crucial purpose of the dark gathering is to set the next year's global strategy for the Dark Camp, aiming to counter or withstand oppression from the Bright Church.

According to Chen Yudong's analysis, the essence of the dark gathering is for the Dark Council to solidify its position as the global head of the Dark Camp, which is advantageous for the survival of these forces under the offensive of Abnormal People Organizations led by the Bright Church.

The power struggle in the Abnormal World globally is far more complex than that in the Mortal World.

With the Dark Council at the helm of the Dark Camp and the Bright Church leading the Light Camp, the two sides have been endlessly contending for millions of years; however, since the rise of the Huaxia Abnormality Organization, the contention between these two has significantly weakened.

The current global situation in the Abnormal World is one of a tripartite balance, each restraining and limiting the others.

"Yu Dong, why do you think the Dark Council is still holding the dark gathering as usual despite having signed a ten-year peace treaty with the Bright Church?"

Bai Yan's eyes narrowed, twirling the black card between his fingers.

If they've already signed a peace treaty and yet continue to hold the dark gathering, the implications behind it are rather intriguing.

Could it be that the Dark Council intends to disregard their agreement with the Bright Church, continue planning for the next year, and counterattack the Bright Church, needlessly provoking a more powerful Abnormal People force?
