Chapter 1462: Clues

“Now I can confirm that the mysterious man’s objective is not to bring us trouble; he just wants the Balu Monster’s main body.”

“To achieve this ultimate goal, this guy has indeed exerted a lot of effort.”

“For example, placing a large amount of resources in advance at Mainland Bloc Number 01864 in District 3, and for the sake of caution, putting a second batch of resources in Mainland Bloc Number 01289 in District 4.”

“This guy is very clever and resourceful, but clearly, he never anticipated the role I would play in this matter. This is his only oversight, and it’s almost a joke of a coincidence. You could say the kid is a bit unlucky, but…”

“Who cares…”

“Victory makes the king, defeat makes the bandit, that’s just how it is.”

Wen Yu spoke with a smile because the screen already displayed the clues Wen Yu needed.

It was a Sea King…

…

On the screen, this Sea King was draped in a wide black robe, completely covering its body, but through the occasional gaps, Wen Yu could see the light blue, signature scales belonging to the Sea King Tribe.

“But sir, Mainland Bloc Number 01289 in District 4 doesn’t seem to be within our surveillance range.”

“That’s in the past.”

With that, Wen Yu had provided Ray with an answer.

Ever since a blind spot appeared in the surveillance at Mainland Bloc Number 01864 in District 3 last time, Wen Yu has noticeably integrated and restructured all the blind spots in the tiered battleground—this action is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources, but it doesn’t mean Wen Yu can’t afford such an expense.

This is also the fundamental reason why, in this second contact, Wen Yu can find this clue.

Integrating the existing intelligence, Wen Yu came to another interesting conclusion.

This mysterious figure is powerful and influential but unaware that two months ago, the Sky Eye System existed here—this implies he has no access to the military’s critical planning and layout, nor first-hand intelligence about the military’s decisions…

He is not a high-ranking military official.

On the screen, the Sea King rushed to the hiding place, then dug up the soil to bury a small box before turning around to leave, and at this moment, Wen Yu decisively pressed the pause button.

“This angle can capture the face of this Sea King.”

“So, sir, should I notify Lord Fran to issue a wanted order?”

“No need, regarding this matter, I need to personally visit the current Sea King, oh, I mean the only Sea King of the Sea King Tribe.”

“I believe this has nothing to do with the Sea King Tribe, just an individual’s act of ambition… um, this guy.”

Wen Yu pointed at the Sea King on the screen.

“Perhaps he’s being used as a tool by others.”

Wen Yu said, while in Yanjing, the Wen Yu No.1 studying the Human-demon Conversion Technique put down a test tube, removed rubber gloves, instructed Dragon Two to prepare the car, and prepared to visit Deep Blue.

…

Although Wen Yu’s trip this time could only be regarded as a sudden, informal visit, the current Sea King still showed great enthusiasm for Wen Yu’s arrival.

After the chaos of the last demigod incident, the visible Sea King was ousted, the true Sea King (the tribe’s will entity) committed suicide, and Wen Yu had already established supreme authority on Earth, making all Wen Yu’s actions stir endless speculation among people.

In just a few hours of travel, the Sea King Tribe had everything ready—as Wen Yu rode the most powerful deep-sea monster to Deep Blue, all the high ranks of the Sea King Tribe were already in place, waiting for Wen Yu’s grand arrival.

“Alright, no need for these formalities, disperse, all of you.”

With one simple sentence, Wen Yu brushed off these face-saving projects, as well as the Sea King’s banquet, and followed the Sea King to the guest room, directly stating his purpose.

“Do you recognize this person?”

The face that appeared on the screen made the current Sea King furrow his brows deeply; he thought for a moment but still gently nodded.

“I have an impression.”

“Oh?”

Wen Yu’s eyebrows raised, seemingly intrigued.

“Sir, do you still remember the incident when the last Sea King perished?”

“Of course I remember.”

“After the last Sea King perished, there were some minor disturbances within our tribe, of course, most chose to follow the Sea King’s will, but a small portion did not agree with the Sea King’s decision and chose to leave our tribe… it wasn’t really a rebellion, they just left the power center of Deep Blue to flourish elsewhere.”

These are internal matters of the Sea King Tribe—splits and unions, and such things are always common, Wen Yu couldn’t manage these issues.

“And this person, named Darlos, is a famous Independent strongman of our tribe.”

The Sea King sneaked a look at Wen Yu, seemingly wanting to understand Wen Yu’s true purpose in inquiring about Darlos, but Wen Yu only nodded expressionlessly, indicating for the Sea King to continue.

“I wonder if you’ve heard of the Independents Mutual Aid Federation…”

This term instantly furrowed Wen Yu’s brows tightly.

…

“The Independents Mutual Aid Federation has a resounding name, and it is developing rapidly. I suspect someone is supporting them from behind…”

“That’s enough, don’t say any more about that, just directly speak about Darlos.”

“Alright, sir, about twenty years ago, the membership standards of the Independents Mutual Aid Federation were no longer limited to humans, but opened to Independents of all tribes worldwide. Just as it opened to foreign races, I remember Darlos joined the federation.”

“He now seems to have reached the position of an administrator.”

After the Sea King finished speaking, he remained silent, while Wen Yu just lowered his head in thought, after a while, he spoke.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, sir, that’s all there is.”

“Alright, I understand, thank you.”

Simply thanked, Wen Yu ignored the Sea King’s anxious expression, turned, and left.

By now, combining everything, Wen Yu already had a certain guess about who the mastermind might be.

Or rather, the only guess…

…

When Wen Yu No.1 got the information and left Deep Blue, Wen Yu Number 3 and Guer had already returned to Mainland Bloc Number 01864 in District 3.

The first base of the Rebel Army, in the underground cave.

The originally slightly cold cavern had become hot and humid, filled with a strange odor, with the bacteria blanket occupying the entire floor, even climbing the walls, making the entire cave look like some kind of monster’s lair.

Yes, according to normal logic, it is indeed now some monster’s lair.

As the elevator door opened, Wen Yu and Guer walked into the cave, far within the cave, a mountain-sized figure suddenly swayed, then accompanied by “rumbling” footsteps, the Level 5 Balu Monster’s main body appeared in their sight.
