PS: Thank you all for the 50,000 Qidian coins tip yesterdayâyou can call me Brother Ma. Bonus Chapters will be released later. There might be one more bonus Chapter today, or perhaps not...
Today is Fatherâs Day, and I have things to do in the afternoon. Tomorrow is my birthday, so Iâll probably be busy these two days. If there are fewer updates, please forgive me. Iâll definitely make up for them later!
Lastly, Happy Fatherâs Day to all the fathers out there.

Upon seeing Yang Hongâs gaze, thoughts flashed through Wen Yuâs mind, and he quickly organized the plan he had just conceived.
Iâll establish an organization and invite those powerful experts who are unwilling to join the military.
First, to expand my influence. If, for instance, ten powerful experts of Yang Hongâs caliber were to side with me this time, opposing the military because I was framed, Lin Haifeng would have to carefully consider if the potential gains are worth the risks, even if those experts did nothing more than state their position.
If my own strength isnât enough, Iâll supplement it with influence. Even a loosely formed faction, as long as it clearly states its stance, will become a latent power capable of deterring enemies. Thatâs right, after this incident, my enemies arenât limited to just the Demon Tribe anymore.
The second point is to weaken the militaryâs strength! Iâm definitely not naive enough now to believe that everything is settled just because Lin Haifeng said weâve reached a peace agreement. One must always be vigilant, especially against an old fox like Lin Haifeng!
Every Sequence-class powerful expert I win over means a loss of strength for the military. After all, with Lin Haifengâs methods, the military has countless ways to control someoneâresorting to force if persuasion fails, and underhanded tactics if force proves insufficient.
As for whether they genuinely want to join or are spies planted by the military, that wonât be an issue with Victor around. Victor can infiltrate their Dreamland, observe their memories, and even examine their thoughts. The most terrifying part is that they would never detect it! Even I was once so deceived by Victorâs Illusions that I couldnât distinguish reality from fantasy. If the Will of Earth hadnât told me a lot of strange things in the end, I would never have realized I had entered Dreamland, let alone anyone else!
Having thought of this, Wen Yu continued to speak to Yang Hong.
"What do you think of this proposal?"
Yang Hong nodded heavily and quickly said, "Actually, I had a similar idea before, but my strength isnât sufficient to attract experts of that caliber. But youâre different; your power is enough to command the situation. And I believe that since the military even dared to undermine Sequence Number 2, other Sequence members must have been harassed by them as well."
Thinking of this, Yang Hong suddenly sighed. "I just donât know, out of the 100 Sequence members, how many are not affiliated with the military."
Hearing Yang Hongâs words, Wen Yu furrowed his brows.
After a while, Wen Yu said in a low voice, "The number... probably isnât very high..."
Indeed, there wouldnât be many. Iâve personally experienced how formidable the militaryâs methods are; anyone else would have been taken down long ago.
Yang Hong, however, raised his head, his face full of fighting spirit, and said, "But we still need to try, donât we? Since we donât want to join the military, we must secure more options for ourselves. No one can guarantee that the various national militaries donât currently operate on a âif youâre not a friend, youâre an enemyâ mentality."
Wen Yu nodded affirmatively. "Right."
Hearing Wen Yuâs reply, Yang Hongâs eyes lit up, and his words began to tumble out at an incredible speed. "Iâve had this idea before: to establish a group exclusively for powerful experts, where everyoneâs status is relatively equal. Normally, we wouldnât interfere in each otherâs affairs, but if a situation arises, weâd tackle it together."
"In my mind, we should have a name, uniforms, and various rules and regulations..." Yang Hongâs eyes blazed with excitement, his speech quickening as he passionately detailed everything, right down to the design of the team emblem.
Wen Yu, meanwhile, found his head spinning.
Truth be told, Iâm really not cut out to be a leader. But thatâs okay. Whoâs born with these strange skills or high-end talents anyway? These things can be learned. Compared to these concerns, Iâm still more inclined to establish this organization. However, thereâs one point thatâs very difficult to resolve...
"How do we find these powerful experts who havenât been wooed by the military?"
Yang Hong, who had been speaking so effusively, suddenly fell silent.
This was indeed an unsolvable problem.
...
"Forget it, weâll keep it in mind for now and discuss it when we have the chance. Our main focus right now should be on the upcoming demon plague."
"By the way, you know what the demon plague is, right?"
Hearing Wen Yuâs question, Yang Hong nodded lightly, though his expression remained a bit grimâlikely because after rambling on for dozens of minutes, his proposed plan had just been revealed as fundamentally flawed.
"Good. I want to know how many survivors are left in Las Vegas, how many combat-capable personnel there are, and their specific levels and strengths."
This barrage of questions left Yang Hong completely stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Hong said awkwardly, "After I regained my memories, most of the people who originally followed me... well, they defected to Clausâs side..."
