Chapter 1471: Gains and Losses

“Boom!”

Soul energy erupted wildly, seemingly freezing time in an instant.

Wen Yu offered respect before aggression…

Respect was when he shared his thoughts with Bai.

Aggression was when he did what he wanted without Bai’s consent.

Although searching memories is certainly a “friendship-ending” thing, but…

Who cares?

Wen Yu absolutely doesn’t care!

What he wants is absolute control over everything!

…

Under the frantic pressure of soul power, at this moment Bai was as weak as an ant facing a giant, and just as Wen Yu’s words entered Bai’s ears, Wen Yu’s right hand had already touched Bai’s crown.

With Wen Yu’s strength, Bai couldn’t reject Wen Yu’s “memory search”—at least, that’s what Wen Yu thought…

Then, the unexpected happened.

Soul energy instantly surged into Bai’s brain, attempting to probe all of Bai’s secrets, but just as the soul power was about to do something, a hazy white light suddenly illuminated from Bai’s body.

The light was faint but extremely strong, and in an instant, it obliterated Wen Yu’s soul energy and broke Wen Yu’s time freeze the next second.

The white light and soul energy rubbed against each other frantically, producing ear-piercing noise. When Wen Yu’s right hand instinctively recoiled as if shocked, Bai only then reacted.

He immediately left the sofa, moved near the elevator, and for a moment, panic appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wen Yu, but then he quickly calmed down.

“What do you want to do?”

With a stern but weak question from Bai’s mouth, Wen Yu only looked at the slowly fading white light on Bai, a disbelief evident in his eyes.

“Dominator? This is the power of the Dominator!”

The energy nature and strength of this white light made Wen Yu deeply believe in this judgment!

“It’s not!”

“Mad, I knew you had problems!”

Bai’s argument did nothing in Wen Yu’s ears, he just stared at Bai, his aura reaching its peak in an instant.

He no longer cared about memories, nor the causes and consequences, because Wen Yu knew, once involved with the Dominator, things would become extremely complicated, and he’d be left with no choices!

In the few seconds after discovering the problem, he directly resolved it violently, cutting off consequences first, playing crazy—that’s exactly what Wen Yu needed to do!

And that’s precisely what he did…

Solid energy waves instantly shot out, penetrating the Independents Mutual Aid Federation’s foundation, penetrating the strata, penetrating the mainland bloc, and flying straight into the void, not knowing where they hit.

However, this hit did not achieve the effect Wen Yu wanted.

The energy stream penetrated Bai’s body, seeming like it had passed through a holographic projection, falling behind Bai, without causing him a single bit of damage. Realizing Wen Yu’s attack, Bai gasped, inspecting his body, and upon noticing he was unharmed, only then did his eyes reveal an unabashed look of fortune.

This was not his technique, but an extra life-saving measure given to Bai by the Dominator.

And when this life-saving measure took effect, it meant that, besides the Dominator, nobody else could take his life at this moment!

“Don’t bother, you can’t kill me…”

Bai remarked with regret, then looked at Wen Yu again.

And Wen Yu, realizing his attack was fruitless, clenched his fists, squinted his eyes, but did not make any further attack movements.

The opportunity is only once, the first attack not killing Bai meant Wen Yu completely lost the chance to kill Bai.

Moreover, the problem does not stop there.

When the white light on Bai’s body flickered, Wen Yu’s attack triggered an alert mechanism; he felt that another move would inevitably attract the Dominator’s attention.

The one coming was actually Wen Yu’s hidden fourth persona, not the overt first persona!

Not to mention if he could break the energy shield, the mere exposure of the carbon copy was enough for Wen Yu to reassess.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu no longer tangled, sat back on the sofa, picked up a wine glass, looked at Bai, and calmly spoke.

“This time, care to give me an explanation?”

And Bai merely shrugged and shook his head.

“This matter, it’s not so easy to explain…”

Bai said this, and finally glanced at Wen Yu.

The gaze was clear, neither happy nor sad, like a fleeting exchange between strangers in a sea of people, and then Bai stepped back and an activation of a teleportation gate emerged out of nowhere, Bai’s figure withdrew into the teleportation gate, disappearing instantly.

He left—automatically resigned as the president of Independents Mutual Aid Federation, taking away a pile of riddles…

And Wen Yu, perceiving the crisis subsiding, drank the red wine in one gulp then sighed heavily.

Wen Yu has the ability to control everything and the ambition to control everything, but unfortunately, there’s always an uncontrollable factor in the world, or so-called force majeure.

Want to break free from Wen Yu’s constraint? Seek that one surely…

Provided you showcase your value.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu once again pondered deeply.

So, what value does Bai have that catches the attention of the Dominator?

Until eliminating all possibilities, Wen Yu was left with a single answer—Tang Haofei failed repeatedly, Wen Yu backed by the Demon Lord, the Dominator’s true choice was only between these two, but both had flaws.

Rather than pinning all hopes on these two less suitable choices, it would be better to blaze a new trail, finding another target worth developing.

Like Bai, whose power is second only to Wen Yu and Tang Haofei in this world; even from an intellectual standpoint, Bai is even better than Wen Yu and Old Tang!

However, Bai also has his shortcomings.

At least, this guy is not easy to handle, nor easy to control…

Thoughts continuously surged, in a brief moment, Wen Yu pondered seven ways till Sunday yet felt he’d missed something, until he successfully turned the mess in his mind into chaos, then stood up, entered the elevator, and pressed the button to the first floor.

…

When the dizziness from teleportation faded, Bai was already standing in a vast, white hall.

Before him was a boundless emerald prairie, behind was a grand hall.

Bai stayed there for just a moment, and then footsteps sounded from behind, turning around, he saw two Treasure Land Protectors standing side by side.

“Who are you?”

The Guardian questioned, but considering Bai could arrive smoothly, neither made excessive moves.

“I want to see the Dominator.”

As Bai said these words, the Dominator’s voice already sounded in the minds of the two Treasure Land Protectors.

“Bring him to see me.”
