Chapter 690: Chapter 7: True Intentions (4,000 Words) (Part 2)

"Hmm..."

Yun You gently nodded.

If Chen Zaikun was at Tier Five, even at the peak of Tier Five, she had a great chance of success.

But Tier Six was an entirely different matter.

In the world of the Death Gods, progressing from Tier Three to Tier Four was a hurdle that symbolized the transformation from mortal to demigod, and moving from Tier Five to Tier Six was another hurdle, proving a Death God’s qualification to become a True God.

The physique and strength of a Tier Six powerhouse were more than ten times that of a Tier Five, and clashing head-on would certainly result in a severe disadvantage.

Yun You wasn’t that reckless; if she engaged in a mutual destruction with Chen Zaikun here, the situation that the Equality Association had just stabilized might face issues again.

So, after a brief moment of contemplation, she made no hesitation and directly switched from the Mad Dog Sequence to the Invisible Sequence. Then, simultaneously using [Divine Concealment] and [Glimmering Moon], she swiftly slipped out of Chen Zaikun’s range of perception amid the mist, following the fissure she had previously blasted open with "Omni Resonance," and rushed out of the building.

In the span of just a few breaths, she vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Chen Zaikun did not pursue.

It wasn’t because he intentionally let Yun You escape, but because at the moment Yun You unleashed her Sequence Ability, he was stunned.

Divine Concealment, Glimmering Moon.

Even though he personally didn’t possess such abilities, the moment the girl used her abilities, he realized that this was definitely the power of the Invisible Sequence.

The aura was too similar, and its functionality was almost identical to the Invisible he knew.

Without a doubt, this was the Invisible Sequence! Walking this path for decades, he could not possibly be mistaken.

"But... how is this possible?"

Chen Zaikun found it very unbelievable.

Because he knew clearly that Yun You’s sequence was the Mad Dog, and it was the most regular Mad Dog, without any inversion or mutation...

But how could the Mad Dog Sequence use the abilities of the Invisible?

This simply defied common sense.

"Could it be..."

He didn’t know Yun You’s "Calamity Demon" identity, nor had he ever seen her red eyes. But now, after witnessing the girl simultaneously using two Sequence Abilities, he suddenly had some speculations.

"Could it be, this little one is related to that ancient ’legend’?"

Yet Chen Zaikun still couldn’t confirm it, only pondering silently, searching for answers in his mind.

After a while, a man who looked like a butler walked in, ignoring the mess of the venue and the twisted steel plates, heading straight to Chen Zaikun’s side.

"Marshal, when Miss Yun You left just now, she took the Minister of Finance, the Marshal of the Third Legion and Lower City Mayor, as well as the Security Department’s right and left ministers."

"Currently, the number of strong personnel at the headquarters is insufficient, so we didn’t dare to stop them. But as long as we issue a wanted order and dispatch the legion to search, we should be able to capture them back."

"Do you want to give the order, Marshal?"

"..."

Chen Zaikun was somewhat silent.

Actually, he had already anticipated that Yun You, upon returning this time, would not only confront him but would certainly take Mokaka and Aurora away as well.

It was certain that Yun You believed, since things had already torn apart between both sides, leaving Mokaka and the others here would essentially provide hostages to him, Chen Zaikun, always at risk of potential danger.

Chen Zaikun might use them to threaten herself, forcing her to make a choice between Mokaka and Sixth Senior Sister Lamia.

If it came to that, it would truly be a tough situation to handle.

Therefore, relocating them was urgent and necessary.

"Heh..."

Chen Zaikun laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"It seems my impression in this little junior sister’s eyes is quite terrible, indeed."

In actuality, he never considered using the "threat" method nor attempted to exploit Mokaka and the others.

Otherwise... from the moment he took over the Equality Association, he should have detained Mokaka and the rest entirely.

With his power, such a thing would be effortlessly achieved without any difficulty.

However... he ultimately did not do so.

He was not born into a family of injustice, and in this world, the two people who influenced him the most—his father, Chen Fangjia, and his foster father and master, Elrond Gold—were both exemplary figures, people who conducted themselves with integrity at all times!

Living in such an environment, although his mind became somewhat twisted due to the conflict between his father and master, essentially, he still retained his pride.

Chen Zaikun might rely on Jiang Wuji’s trust... or take advantage of Vitinya and Tang Jin’s relaxation to launch a surprise attack, but that was only because, in his heart, he truly believed these senior brothers and sisters "deserved it," having the ability to prevent conflict yet unwilling to intervene, knowing old Jin had just passed away and the Equality Association was in crisis, yet for their personal interest, chose to engage in fierce battles.

They deserved some minor punishment.

But Yun You was different.

Yun You and her partners never considered their own interests; they performed their duties to the best of their ability and fully fulfilled their responsibilities.

To her, Chen Zaikun really couldn’t resort to those despicable means, hence he always provided good food and drinks to accommodate her friends, not even assigning many people to watch over them.

Because of this, Yun You could so easily take them away.

"Forget it."

After some thought, Chen Zaikun still shook his head.

"No need to stir things up to such an extent that the entire city would be in upheaval; it wouldn’t look good if it spread out."

"If they want to leave, let them go. Quickly arrange someone to fill in their missing positions so that the organization’s administrative structure doesn’t collapse."

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately showed interest.

"Do you mean... we can freely appoint the positions of those ministers now?"

Chen Zaikun shook his head.

"Only as acting ministers; keep their positions open. Officially, we’ll say... those ministers aren’t feeling well and are in recovery."

"When they wish to return, their positions will be given back to them... I believe someday, they will understand me."

"As for the Initial Sequence matter, there’s no rush; I won’t reach the Tier Six peak in a short time anyway; it might take a few more years... Besides, the Initial Sequence might not be singular; perhaps, in the future, we might accidentally obtain the [Celestial Ku Blessing]."

"Let’s both... let me calm down for now."

Chen Zaikun turned around, looking at the chaos of the venue, sighed slightly, and murmured, "Although the overall execution of my plan wasn’t bad, some oversights led to unnecessary casualties, which is indeed my fault."

Hearing this, the butler quickly stepped forward, comforting, "It’s not your fault, sir; after being repressed for so long, once released, there’s bound to be some impulsiveness and overreach."

"You are the wisest leader I’ve seen over the years; I believe you will certainly inherit your master and father’s aspirations and tread further and higher on this path."

Chen Zaikun smiled.

"Spare me such evaluations for now; I am not yet worthy of them."

"Only when I unite the entire planet and forge an unprecedented prosperous age can I comfortably accept all this."

After speaking, he lightly brushed his sleeve and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, you may leave."

Hearing this, the butler finally reacted, quickly nodding, and whispering, "Yes... Marshal."

"Just three days ago, a ’peculiar’ person suddenly visited, specifically requesting to see you."

"We investigated his background information, only to find this guy had... no family connections, nor has he left any trace in this world. Even his DNA comparison bore no resemblance to the 30 billion humans on Earth, yet his physiological characteristics don’t seem like someone born off-planet."

"He seems to have... appeared out of nowhere, and we have no idea how he arrived at the Equality Association, nor by what means he got here."

"We tried to drive him away, but no method could move him even half a step from that chair."

"This person... is quite strange. Are you sure you want to meet him?"

Chen Zaikun nodded without hesitation.

"A guest is a guest; if we don’t meet him, it would be discourteous on our part."

"Let me go and meet him."
