Regarding Ye Tong's attitude toward Lou Wei, Mu Luo and the others had naturally heard rumors.

After all, when Ye Yao was first brought back, # Nоvеlight # she was suppressed single-handedly by Lou Wei; she had to be cautious in everything she did.

Within Sequence Zero, she would even slander him from time to time.

One could imagine how much pressure she had endured from Lou Wei.

Until now, the relationship between Sequence Zero and the Countermeasure Bureau had gradually eased.

Ye Tong even called the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau "Uncle," which showed she didn't actually hate the Countermeasure Bureau.

Initially, Mu Luo and the others wanted to become strong enough to bring Ye Tong's main body back from the Countermeasure Bureau to save her from her misery.

But now, it seemed that was no longer necessary.

Ye Yao didn't necessarily want to cut ties with the Countermeasure Bureau either.

But what about Lou Wei?

What kind of attitude did this man, who was responsible for suppressing Ye Yao from the very beginning, actually hold toward Ye Yao or Ye Tong?

Mu Luo didn't think a man like him would treat Ye Yao as his own daughter.

He likely viewed that girl as a massive threat all along.

At this moment, Lou Wei, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

He looked as if he had pondered many things and reached an important decision.

"I want to join Sequence Zero."

Lou Wei's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a giant boulder crashing into stagnant water, instantly freezing the entire private room.

The air solidified.

Mu Luo and the other three were all in a state of mental non-responsiveness.

The expression on Mu Luo's face froze completely, as if he had heard some gibberish that was entirely beyond the scope of human understanding.

The chopsticks he was unconsciously holding fell onto the table with a "clatter."

The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the dead silence, yet it failed to wake him in the slightest.

His companions beside him had similarly fallen into a state of petrification.

Jiang Huashen's mouth was slightly open, and he forgot to close it.

Yu Jin leaned forward as if to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

Gu Wenxin directly held his breath, his mind going blank, leaving only Lou Wei's words "I want to join Sequence Zero" echoing wildly in his skull.

The looks they gave Lou Wei were filled with extreme confusion and disbelief.

It was as if they were scrutinizing a giant who had suddenly announced his intention to join a kingdom of ants.

This simply wasn't an option that belonged to their perceived world!

This guy... what is he saying?

Is this even human language?

The ultimate trump card of the Countermeasure Bureau actually wanted to join an independent organization not under its jurisdiction!

Mu Luo looked at Fu Qi as if turning a rusty mechanical head.

A massive surge of emotion rarely seen appeared in his deep, calm black eyes.

What does this mean?

Fu Qi's expression was equally stiff; he seemingly hadn't expected Lou Wei to make such a decision either.

As the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau, he was personally witnessing the bureau's ultimate trump card jump ship.

Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

Fu Qi took several deep breaths and didn't question Lou Wei on the spot.

Lou Wei hadn't mentioned this idea before coming here; it must have been a sudden flash of inspiration.

This was undoubtedly a sign of instability, appearing very impulsive.

But now, Lou Wei indeed needed to break convention and change his style; only then could he possibly ease the conflict with Ye Tong...

Saying he wanted to join Sequence Zero was actually more like playing "house" with Ye Tong.

The more important thing was that it provided a legitimate reason to contact Ye Tong.

Since the Countermeasure Bureau's Lou Wei couldn't see Ye Tong, surely Sequence Zero's Lou Wei could see his own leader?

After thinking of this, even Fu Qi wanted to gasp.

Damn!

Lou Wei, you're a genius!

Why didn't I realize you had such world-shaking wisdom before?

... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ten minutes later.

"Lou Wei wants to join Sequence Zero."

When Mu Luo's voice reached her ears, Ye Yao was dumbfounded on the spot, her mind feeling as if the entire galaxy was spinning.

Wh-what does that mean?

Is this human language?

She could understand every individual word in that sentence, so why couldn't she understand them when they were put together?

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly just now, say it again."

"Lou Wei wants to join Sequence Zero."

Mu Luo repeated it.

He could completely understand Ye Yao's reaction.

After all, he could hardly believe his own ears when he first heard it.

Ye Yao took a deep breath and began cursing on the spot.

"Is he sick in the head! Would the strongest Ability User of the Countermeasure Bureau say something so ridiculous?

He definitely wants to get my attention!

Whose rotten idea was this anyway? Could it be Fu Qi?

That naturally wicked uncle, I think he's been having it too easy lately, daring to be such an Idea King!"

Ye Yao didn't believe for a second that this was Lou Wei's own idea.

Although he had recklessly used a hastily developed Form Technique during the space battle, leading to a life-threatening situation.

But that should have just been a momentary lapse, a result of being eroded by Heaven's Will.

Could Lou Wei's brain really malfunction that often?

However, Mu Luo's next sentence silenced Ye Yao.

"It was Lou Wei's own idea; he's very serious and truly wants to join Sequence Zero, which is why I've come to ask for your opinion."

Confirmed: no humans left.

What exactly is this old geezer thinking?

Did the sun burn his brain out?

Ye Yao's pupils shook.

She felt so powerless, the same kind of powerlessness she felt when facing Xia Lian's madness without a poker in her hand.

"White Kitty, what's with your expression? It looks so funny."

Xia Lian's voice rang in her ear.

She seemed to be in a very pleasant mood.

The Ye Yao before her was undoubtedly the White Kitty main body.

Knowing that Lou Wei wasn't working today, she almost couldn't resist pouncing on Ye Yao to hold her and take a deep sniff.

Unfortunately, there were other "kittens" around Ye Yao guarding the food, so she couldn't enjoy the delicious White Kitty.

Ye Yao's cherry lips parted slightly as she broke the major news to her other companions.

"Lou Wei wants to join Sequence Zero."

The atmosphere froze on the spot.

Xia Lian was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately began hissing, her red eyes flashing with a crimson light.

"I won't allow it!"

You've got to be kidding!

If Lou Wei came to Sequence Zero, wouldn't she be unable to even touch the reprinted White Kitty?

It was bad enough that she couldn't snuggle with the original White Kitty normally, and now Lou Wei wanted to come to Sequence Zero to watch her.

Xia Lian was going to throw a fit; she was really going to throw a fit!

"White Kitty, refuse him, you must refuse him! That despicable guy definitely has a conspiracy, we can't let him succeed!"

Xia Lian ran to Ye Yao and kept advising her; one didn't need to read her mind to know it was full of selfish motives.

Seeing her so anxious, Ye Yao actually calmed down a bit.

She pushed away Xia Lian's approaching face with one hand.

"Don't rush, don't rush. I'm barbecuing—no, I mean, I'm thinking."

Lou Wei making such a decision probably wasn't due to a brain problem.

Currently, Ye Yao's cold treatment and Ye Tong's avoidance undoubtedly made him feel he needed to use an unconventional method.

Then, she thought of a reasonable solution.

"Heh, don't think you can achieve your goal that easily."

Ye Yao gave a cold laugh.

"Let him join. Let Mu Luo and the others take him along to train, and while they're at it, have them learn some Form Techniques. It's rare to have such an expert; it's the perfect chance for Mu Luo and the others to fleece him a bit."

As for seeing him?

Don't even think about it for now!

If you want to see the boss, you have to have achievements!

Without achievements, what right do you have to see the boss?

Even Great Fortune has to start from the bottom!
