Chapter 475 - 468: Focused Gazes
He’s here!
Everyone at the military base tensed, holding their breath in spite of themselves.
The atmosphere grew heavy.
No one knew what kind of person he was, or if they could get along with him.
After all, the power he wielded was completely beyond their control.
Facing such a being, tension was inevitable.
It was like mortals on the ground welcoming the descent of Immortal Gods from the heavens.
Soon, a military transport plane appeared over the base’s airfield. Amidst a gale kicked up by its propellers, the aircraft landed in the center of the tarmac, and its ramp slowly lowered.
The high-ranking officials of the Liya Republic exchanged glances, then immediately put on enthusiastic smiles and went forward to greet him.
Rita saw it clearly—a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows within the aircraft.
Unlike the slender, ordinary-looking young East Asian man from before, this figure had broad shoulders, a chiseled face, and an upright posture like a sharp sword. His aura soared upward, as if piercing the very sky.
His determined eyes seemed to pierce right into a person’s soul. Before this man, the high-ranking officials who controlled a nation—the most distinguished people in the Liya Republic—seemed like a troupe of clowns by comparison.
She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but Rita suddenly felt that this figure was even more dazzling than the one she had seen that night.
As she looked at him, a single word surfaced in her mind.
Perfect.
Looks, presence, will, power...
From any angle, he was a nearly perfect man.
THUMP! THUMP!!
She felt her heart begin to race, so much so that the wound on her chest felt like it might split open. A strange flush crept up her cheeks.
’This feeling...’
Rita lowered her head, not daring to look at him any longer.
In reality, this was a special aura that accompanied Zhou Yuanjue’s dual sublimation of his physical body and magnetic field.
To all life currently on Earth, Zhou Yuanjue was now a nearly complete and perfect being. And since humanity possesses a natural instinct to pursue perfection, even if he deliberately concealed his aura, those with sharp spiritual senses could still perceive its influence.
This influence affected not only women, but men as well.
After his fight with Zhang Dongwei, when he had returned to the villa, he hadn’t yet realized this new quality he possessed. He hadn’t deliberately restrained it, which led to Huang Bin walking into his room and staring at him in a daze for a long time before he realized something was off.
However, for this meeting with the high-ranking officials of the Liya Republic, he did not completely hide this quality. This influence would be beneficial to their conversation.
"Mr. Zhou, welcome. Before I met you, I thought of a thousand different words to describe you, but now that I see you in person, only one remains in my mind: perfect. You are a perfect man,"
the President of Liya said to Zhou Yuanjue with deep feeling.
"You flatter me. For my operation in the Liya Republic this time, I will need all of your support."
Zhou Yuanjue extended his hand as well.
Under the influence of Zhou Yuanjue’s uniquely charismatic presence, the tense atmosphere between the two sides dissipated, and their conversation proceeded smoothly and easily. After a few simple pleasantries, the President of Liya invited Zhou Yuanjue to lunch, but he politely declined.
The president didn’t seem too displeased by this, as if he had been briefed on Zhou Yuanjue’s preferences beforehand.
After the formal meeting concluded, the high-ranking officials of the Liya Republic bid farewell to Zhou Yuanjue and departed, leaving only Valena, Rita, and a few others to begin coordinating their work with him.
"Mr. Zhou, we’ve met before in Jimis. I’ll be your liaison from now on. Your team should arrive the day after tomorrow. Before then, if you need anything at all, just let us know,"
Valena said with a smile.
Zhou Yuanjue nodded, glanced at the people present, and said, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
"Oh? Please, tell us,"
Valena said with a solemn expression.
"The Lawless City in Jimis isn’t back to normal operations yet, is it?"
Zhou Yuanjue asked.
"That’s right. Purging the factions within, rooting out the evil, and bringing residents back in... none of these things can be done quickly,"
Valena said with a nod.
"From now on, I will use the Lawless City as my base. On one hand, I’ll start helping you deal with the domestic rebel forces. On the other, I need you to release a piece of information."
"Let this entire continent know that I am in the Lawless City,"
Zhou Yuanjue said, his expression calm.
...
...
「In Anda, a country in the Southeast of the Black Continent.」
This small country was completely under the control of the Desolation Organization, whose headquarters was also located here.
Following Zhou Yuanjue’s specific instructions, and despite not understanding his reasoning, Valena and his people did their best to carry out his request.
Through special channels, they spread the news of Zhou Yuanjue’s arrival in the Liya Republic and his establishment in the Lawless City. In such a sensitive time, the information traveled fast.
"The Lawless City?"
Andy stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"He’s deliberately exposing his location."
Just then, a voice suddenly spoke, causing Andy’s pupils to contract sharply.
’Someone actually managed to sneak up on me without me noticing?!’
He snapped his head up and looked toward the door.
A wisp of gray mist swirled, and two figures slowly walked in from outside the door. They seemed to appear out of thin air, without any warning. It was unbelievable.
One of them was impeccably dressed in a suit, with neat hair, like an elite gentleman from high society.
Following behind him was an ordinary-looking young white man with the distinct ethnic features of the Ori Region. If Zhou Yuanjue had been there, he would have immediately recognized him as one of the Seven Mo Luo he had killed once before: the Plague of Rebellion, Yuan Luàn.
Seeing these two, Andy’s taut nerves relaxed slightly.
’Right,’ he thought. ’Besides this guy, who else in the world could be so elusive?’
"Hui Ming, Yuan Luàn, you got here quickly. When will the others arrive?"
Andy asked the two figures.
"In the next day or two."
Hui Ming slowly walked forward and sat down on the office sofa.
"Zhou Yuanjue is deliberately exposing his position. By choosing Jimis, which is still under reconstruction and almost deserted, he’s planning to use it as a battlefield to fight us,"
Hui Ming said coolly.
"That bastard. He beat me once, and now he dares to be this arrogant? It seems he really doesn’t take us seriously."
A vicious glint flashed in Yuan Luàn’s eyes.
"Whether he takes us seriously or not doesn’t matter. Since he’s given us this opportunity, there’s no reason not to seize it. We’ve also brought a command from the leader this time."
"In the Black Continent, besides lifting the Seal, our primary target is Zhou Yuanjue."
"The leader’s exact words were these."
Hui Ming spoke slowly:
"Utterly destroy him, both soul and body."
