Chapter 332 - 330: The Final Value

In the abandoned city shrouded in darkness, Black Crow turned and walked down the tower.

His figure moved like a ghost among the dilapidated buildings, each step carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

His black robe fluttered slightly in the wind, as if merging with the surrounding darkness.

Black Crow walked up to one of his subordinates and stopped in front of him.

The subordinate stood quietly, exuding an aura of chilling menace.

Black Crow fixed his gaze on him, his eyes revealing a cold decisiveness.

"Now there's a mission for you, like Grey Crow, go to Jiang Che's territory and meet death." Black Crow's voice was deep and cold, like a summons from Hell.

His words contained no emotion, only pure command.

"But before meeting death, like before, break through as much as you can, then feel the stages." Black Crow continued, a flash of calculation in his eyes.

"Once I ascend to the throne, I'll resurrect you all." His promise was like a sliver of hope in the darkness.

The subordinate in front of him was all wearing raven hoods, the black hoods seemed like symbols of death.

The feathers on the hood trembled slightly, as if whispering endless horror.

The subordinate's eyes were fervent, like burning flames.

In his eyes was nothing but loyalty to Black Crow and a desire for the mission. "Yes, my lord!"

The subordinate's voice was firm and powerful, as if declaring his determination.

Black Crow looked at several other subordinates and spoke, "Whether him or you, just do as I say, in the end the masters of the world will only be us."

His voice echoed in the air, filled with authority and dominance.

"There are few players but many pieces, the current sacrifice is only for the ultimate victory." Black Crow's words revealed a cold reality.

In this world full of intrigue and challenge, only the strong can survive, while the weak can only become chess pieces, sacrificed for the ambitions of the strong.

He did not know the names of these subordinates, to him, these subordinates had only one name, all were Grey Crows.

They were his tools, a means to realize his ambitions.

Black Crow did not need to know their names, only that they obey commands, fight for his goals.

The subordinate received the order and left.

The remaining subordinates still lingered in the forest, the departing subordinate's silhouette gradually receding into the darkness.

Black Crow watched the direction of his departure, filled with anticipation and calculation.

Black Crow replied to the voice of the Dark Mother Plant in his mind, "Where are you."

His voice revealed a trace of urgency and anxiety.

He needed to find the Dark Mother Plant, to understand more plans and information.

However, the Dark Mother Plant did not reply, it only looked at Jiang Che ahead, "Everything is already set, just wait for Black Crow to finally come and meet death."

Inquiring about the Dark Mother Plant's message with no reply, a wave of anger and helplessness surged in Black Crow's heart.

He stood in the corner of the abandoned city, surrounded by crumbling buildings and entwining dark vines.

His black robe fluttering lightly in the wind, his eyes like burning flames yet revealing deep frustration.

He did not know what the Dark Mother Plant was thinking, if he did not have a way to judge lies, he would truly suspect the Dark Mother Plant was deceiving him.

Black Crow's heart was filled with doubt and unease, he began to re-evaluate his cooperation with the Dark Mother Plant.

He recalled every exchange with the Dark Mother Plant, every promise, trying to find some clue, but found himself seemingly trapped in a vast mystery.

Having reached this point, all he could do was trust.

Black Crow tightly clenched his fists, his heart full of anger.

Sometimes he felt himself being toyed with by the Dark Mother Plant, yet unable to escape this situation.

He did not know the true aim of the Dark Mother Plant, nor if he could trust it.

This uncertainty made him feel immense anxiety and helplessness.

However, he found all ways to verify the messages from the Dark Mother Plant were true.

No matter what calculations the Dark Mother Plant had, he just needed to achieve his own goals.

Having confirmed his thoughts, Black Crow let out a sigh of relief.

He did not need to mind others, just needed to complete his own plan.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Jiang Che stood quietly in a dim space, staring at the Dark Mother Plant ahead, his brow furrowed.

The air seemed to solidify, filled with a repressive atmosphere.

Surrounding him was the eerie Dark Forest, tree shadows swaying like specters.

Jiang Che's eyes revealed vigilance and doubt, he stared intensely at the Dark Mother Plant, trying to penetrate its thoughts.

"You ultimately want to devour me, right?" His voice carried certainty.

Jiang Che's words shot towards the Dark Mother Plant like arrows, breaking the surrounding silence.

He already had the answer in his heart, just wanted confirmation from the Dark Mother Plant's mouth.

The Dark Mother Plant, caught in its thoughts, immediately denied sharply.

"No, no! We, we all have our own ideas!" The Dark Mother Plant's voice was filled with panic and unease, its branches trembled slightly, as if hiding its true intentions.

Hearing its denial, Jiang Che immediately understood the opponent truly wanted to devour him.

But now he had no other choices, only cooperation.

He knew what he was doing was dangerous, but now he had no other path to follow.

"I understand." Even if the Dark Forest ultimately wanted to devour him, or had other calculations, he still had to eliminate all enemies ahead.

Jiang Che always thought before, enemies are just enemies.

But now, he's learned to cooperate with enemies.

This decision just made, he conveyed new information to Ding Ning.

After waiting for a long time, no reply from Ding Ning, he frowned, sent a few more messages.

Finally, Ding Ning replied, "I'm fine."

Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief, his worries slightly alleviated.

"Since we're in cooperation, we must extract all its utility value!" Ding Ning continued to advise.

Her voice revealed decisiveness and shrewdness.

Ding Ning knew well, cooperating with the Dark Mother Plant was a dangerous game, they must fully utilize this opportunity to gain the greatest benefit.

Her heart was full of calculation and strategy, ensuring in this cooperation they wouldn't become the Dark Mother Plant's sacrifices.

"Cooperation isn't bad, the Dark Mother Plant might not achieve its goals in the end." Her voice was very light.

Above the throne, no one has ever reached.

Whether the Dark Mother Plant or them, the paths they walk are ones no predecessor has taken, who knows if they're right or wrong.

Since the information they received was partly true, is the information the Dark Mother Plant received necessarily real?
