Thinking of this, Fang Yu started to privately chat with Cheng Peng, planning to discuss the matter and listen to Cheng Peng's views.

"Peacekeeping Council..."

Cheng Peng typed:

"Actually, quite a few people have already realized there are issues with the Peacekeeping Council. But the council is very mysterious, and its members wield significant power, making it hard to investigate."

"But be careful, Fang Yu. We suspect some conglomerates have already sided with the Peacekeeping Council, hoping to become their pawns and point their knives at Blue Star's own people."

"Trust no conglomerate, including the Cheng Clan behind me."

Cheng Peng warned.

"Peng, you don't seem to fully trust your own conglomerate."

"Sigh..."

"The Cheng Clan was fine at first, but after tasting power, some have started to change."

"There seems to be some internal division within the Cheng Clan, so I'm planning to leave the conglomerate soon and form my own Captain Alliance."

"Brother, if you want to join in for a bit of fun, feel free to join us."

Cheng Peng invited again.

"We'll talk about it later, Peng. There's no rush, and our relationship is such that if you need help, I won't stand by idly."

"Haha, indeed!"

The two chatted casually for a few more words, then ended the private chat.

Fang Yu exited the private chat channel on his panel, a slight feeling of unease rising within him, as if some great disaster targeting the Blue Star Captain was about to occur.

"For now, it's too distant. To avoid disaster, I can only find ways to improve my combat strength."

"First, get to the warship, then find ways to become Extraordinary."

"Among the Blue Star Captains, there are peak captains. They won't let these people run rampant..."

Fang Yu thought to himself.

...

On the night after Fang Yu chatted with Guan Xinxue, a few shadows gathered in the captain's room on a warship near Southeast Stone Island, whispering and plotting.

"Fang Yu is tough to recruit, resistant to both hard and soft approaches."

"Whether he has an S-level talent remains uncertain. Maybe the official combat ranking made a mistake."

Someone whispered, still harboring residual anger in their eyes.

"In any case, our conglomerate's dilemma is lacking a peak captain as backing. Currently, the most likely to reach the peak come from the Zhang Clan's Zhang Wangyue, the Yun Clan's Yun Yifei, and the Cheng Clan's Cheng Yu and Pengcheng brothers."

"Including the Lin Clan, other conglomerates face a void, as their successors don't possess the strength or extraordinary potential like Zhang Wangyue."

"Reaching the peak is incredibly difficult. Among the captains who've entered this world, numbering in the millions, less than ten have reached the peak."

"It's a competition. If a conglomerate produces a peak captain, that would be enough to overpower other conglomerates and grow into a true giant, without needing to look up to native powers."

Another person, calm and composed, didn't act impulsively. His eyes were deep, full of foresight, and he spoke in a low voice, "That's why recruiting Fang Yu is very important for us."

"Fang Yu is extremely hard to recruit; he's proud and stubborn."

The previous person shook his head, having been shut out by Fang Yu, with anger still simmering inside.

"All geniuses have pride, which is normal. But time will prove everything. If Fang Yu can't find enough resources to advance to Extraordinary in the future, he may humble himself and turn to us."

"Don't rush; that day will surely come."

This person spoke, trying to establish a final judgment on the matter.

At that moment, the captain's room door was suddenly pushed open.

A figure, wrapped in the bitter sea wind, burst in, startling the conglomerate members who were whispering.

Once they saw the newcomer's appearance clearly, they breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"Why are you here?"

"Fourth Uncle asked me to bring you a message."

"He acquired important intelligence that a batch of Divine Essence from the Divine Hall will be transported via the East Pole Sea Route to the East Ring Sea Region to compensate for the shortcomings of the Divine Envoy's vessel."

"Defeating the Divine Envoy's vessel is very difficult, but intercepting this batch of Divine Essence is quite easy."

"These resources are very precious, extremely valuable, and Fourth Uncle wants you to bring more warships."

This person spoke, his tone cold, but the information within his words brought a hint of joy to the faces of those present.

"Is there really Divine Essence?"

"Great, seizing the Divine Essence, according to the rules, I'll be rewarded and get some. My son has already entered this world and become a cargo ship captain. This Divine Essence can perfectly lay a foundation far beyond others!"

The crowd rejoiced, nearly treating this batch of Divine Essence as their own property, causing the person bringing the information to furrow his brows.

"Don't get too happy too soon!"

This person spoke coldly, "Fourth Uncle mentioned that the Zhang Clan possesses a unique treasure capable of detecting the aura of Divine Essence, and they will likely be able to find this batch."

"Moreover, Fourth Uncle suspects that the information channel might have leaked, and perhaps other conglomerates are aware of this matter."

"The Divine Essence is not in the bag yet; there are other conglomerates as competitors. Therefore, Fourth Uncle wants you to bring more warships out to sea."

Upon hearing this person's words, the crowd was slightly shocked.

Exchanging glances, they all saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

The Zhang Clan...

They're a top-tier conglomerate...

"We should dispatch a large number of warships from the headquarters..."

Murmurs arose in the room.
