"How exactly did you manage that?"

"Don't ask me, I'm not a tech person."

"Well... little sister, how did you do it?"

"Communication."

"But we communicated too."

"Ineffective communication."

"Uh..."

Mr. Hu looked at the big and small figures in front of him whose words matched impeccably, and found himself unable to help but twitch his mouth in resignation.

Of course, I know our communication is ineffective, but why is our communication ineffective while yours is so immediately effective?

Is it just because you are elementary school students and we have a 'generation gap' with her?

Clearly, regarding this unknown creature, the opposing 'organization' has mastered some kind of specialized 'communication' technology.

But why can the other side communicate through bulletproof glass in complete silence, and the one who possesses such ability is this young girl...

"Is this really your 'special expert'?"

Even though he wasn't present at the scene, Mr. Hu, who just witnessed everything through the surveillance footage, no matter how incredible, had to accept this somewhat absurd fact...

That is, the little girl in front of him is obviously not as ordinary as she appears.

"Of course, haven't I told you before?"

Yes, you also mentioned that she's part of your logistics department...

The Hero of Guanzhong with exploding force value, and the mysterious young girl who can communicate with 'unknown life forms'...

So, all the powerful figures in your organization are in the logistics department?

Can there be a legitimate departmental division?

Mr. Hu grumbled in his heart.

"Can this technology be shared? The terms are negotiable!"

Considering the potential threat from unknown life forms that can perfectly mimic humans, Mr. Hu decided to spare no expense.

"It's not that we're unwilling, but this technology is still not perfected and poses high unknown risks."

Being the heir of the sharing ideology, this wasn't Meng Lang making excuses. First, the technology is currently mastered perfectly only by Xiao Yu, a unique resource.

Secondly, it's technology that can overturn global dynamics, classified as 'doomsday' level black technology.

If leaked, who knows what unpredictable consequences it might trigger.

He's had quite enough of world wars...

Yet, in Mr. Hu's ears, this naturally sounded like an excuse to ensure their own technological lead.

Just when he was slightly disappointed, Meng Lang changed his tone.

"Although technology-wise, it temporarily can't be done, in other domains, the cooperation prospects are very broad; we can achieve a win-win completely!"

Mr. Hu was taken aback.

"Other domains? What domains?"

"Such as politics, economics, military..."

Mr. Hu: "???"

...

Meanwhile outside the base, in the forest several kilometers away.

"Sword Master, where are we going?"

Iwazaki Hideyoshi looked at the increasingly dense vegetation around him, confusedly turning to Ning Shisan.

"Recently, both inside and outside Su City, there are people looking for you everywhere, so the higher-ups want us to switch to a safer location."

"Is that so... alright..."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Iwazaki Hideyoshi's eyes.

As a crucial financial family in Fusang Country, every move of the Iwazaki family is highly watched by outsiders.

Thus, two days ago, Fusang's media broke news of inexplicable chaos within the Iwazaki family, with even the family head Iwazaki Hanzo bedridden and urgently sent to the hospital.

Although publicly claimed as a sudden illness, seeing the news images of Iwazaki Hanzo, eyes closed, wearing a respirator, and carried onto the ambulance, Iwazaki Hideyoshi's heart sank completely.

Iwasaki Yuhei... actually dared to strike against grandpa...

And judging from Iwazaki Hanzo's condition, it seems he might really have succeeded...

Plus the ninja who attempted to assassinate him that night, he has no doubts anymore about the authenticity of this family power struggle.

Maybe in a few days, Fusang will release news of Iwazaki Yuhei successfully taking the position.

Given what he knows of Iwazaki Yuhei, he'd either not do anything, or go to the extreme...

Because of this terrifying assumption, he doesn't even dare to proactively contact the family.

After all, one's intentions are hard to gauge; if Iwazaki Yuhei's faction truly seized power, the extensive family resources would become his death warrant.

Luckily, he's in Country Hua, where the Iwazaki family's influence can't act freely; otherwise, he'd be facing full-scale pursuit both legally and illegally.

With so many people outside looking for him now, he's even more hesitant to show up.

However, what Iwazaki Hideyoshi doesn't know is, the internal strife of the Iwazaki family came and went quickly.

And now those people coming to Country Hua looking for him aren't actually there to chase him, but rather specifically dispatched by the Iwazaki family to save him...

Considering his bodyguards were already dealt with by assassins, in the unfamiliar landscape of Country Hua, the only person he can rely on now is the seemingly 'friendly force' Sword Master in front of him...

But he doesn't know which power stands behind this 'highly skilled' master.

Is it a hidden backup from grandpa? Or some branch within the family?

Or one of the other few financial families in Fusang intervening in the Iwazaki family heir conflict?

While he was lost in such guesses, a conspicuous red sign at the side of the road suddenly caught his eyes...

Iwazaki Hideyoshi's eyelids twitched, and his steps instantly halted.

Because upon the sign, it was boldly written.

[Military Zone]

[No Passage Allowed]

[No Photography Allowed]

Seeing Ning Shisan merely glance at the sign and continue walking forward without stopping, he immediately widened his eyes, a difficult-to-believe notion flashing in his mind.
