Chapter 581: 【433】Who cares about Seventh Rank! Battle! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)_1
 

“Is there trouble?”

Upon hearing the news of the logistics team’s accident, the headquarters of the West Continent Heavy Equipment Association panicked, thinking they had been invaded.

“Who did it?”

“The evidence we’ve found so far points to the Holy Alliance,” the messenger said carefully.

“The Holy Alliance?”

The conference room fell abruptly silent, soon followed by voices of rage.

“It’s them again, the Holy Alliance!”

“They’re really asking for it!”

“What exactly is the Holy Alliance trying to accomplish with these successive moves!”

“I thought the Federation taught them a lesson last time, they should have been more cautious. I can’t believe they dare to kill our people!”

Anger was written on the faces of each High-Level member of the Heavy Equipment Association.

In fact, their association in the Western Continent suffered collateral damage due to the Old Gods Association, pledging loyalty to the Federation only to be struck with a devastating blow. Now, the losses were severe.

Even more chilling was the Federation’s lukewarm reaction to their pledge of loyalty.

This left the Heavy Equipment Association caught between two giants, trapped in a dilemma.

And now, another giant had decided to kick them while they were down…

“Such an enormous disgrace!!!”

Suddenly, someone asked, “How are Elder Zhong and the others? Have they encountered any of the Holy Alliance’s ambushes?”

“They just missed each other. According to the message sent by First Elder Zhong, by the time they arrived, our logistics team had already been intercepted.”

“As long as they’re safe.”

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, someone abruptly threw a damper on their hopes.

“Is it possible that First Elder Zhong has already been killed and someone is using his account to contact us?”

After these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone looked toward the one who had spoken.

One of the women furrowed her brows and said, “Xiang An, do you even realize what you’re saying? We’ve all seen the abilities of the First Elder Zhong. Secondly, the secret communication line’s password is known only to Elder Zhong, and he would definitely not betray our Heavy Equipment Association.”

The person who spoke earlier looked calmly at the woman and said evenly, “I am merely expressing a reasonable suspicion. As for whether anything has happened to Elder Zhong, we’ll know for sure if we verify it.”

“That can’t be done; the secret communication channel is already vulnerable. Too many contacts in one day can easily be detected,” someone immediately criticized the suggestion. “I propose that if we’re concerned for the safety of First Elder Zhong, we should use a physical channel and arrange for personnel to investigate on-site.”

“That’s too troublesome, and if we encounter another hijacking of the supply ship, no one can afford this consequence. I think a simple video call will do,” another objected.

The conference room instantly erupted into chaos.

In the end, they decided to make a video contact.

Pei Jinye appeared on screen, looking just like First Elder Zhong. If he hadn’t devoured the old man’s memories, some things would have truly slipped past the Heavy Equipment Association’s verification.

After confirming that he was still alive, those who had been questioning earlier fell silent. Yet Pei Jinye continued the righteous indignation characteristic of the old man, cursing loudly.

His rant was all about the hardships he faced and the concerns for the future he couldn’t guarantee.

In essence, he never mentioned money, but the whole speech revolved around it.

“The Elite Sequence carries the future of our Heavy Equipment Association; this must be ensured, and I will personally escort…”

The speaker was one of the Extraordinary Seventh Ranks of the Heavy Equipment Association.

He was also one of the vice presidents of the Association.

After he spoke, no one dared to raise any objections.

…

After agreeing on a time, the communication was disconnected.

Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows.

Even an Extraordinary Seventh Rank had been deceived into coming.

“Such a pity, I can’t handle it,” he murmured to himself reflectively.

Glancing at the time,

he then contacted Elder Wuji.

…

“You damn brat, you finally decided to contact me,” Elder Wuji remarked with no surprise when he received Pei Jinye’s message.

Pei Jinye arched his brow, chuckling, “Elder, how did you know I would contact you?”

“Was the Zhongshan incident your handiwork?” Elder Wuji didn’t spell it out too clearly, but regarding the matter of First Elder Zhong, he wouldn’t doubt Ghost Fang’s report.

As to why there were rumors spread about Zhongshan not being dead, he hadn’t inquired in detail, but he could roughly guess who was behind it.

Pei Jinye laughed innocently, neither admitting nor denying, but he asked Elder Wuji one question, “Can the Extraordinary Seventh Rank of the Heavy Equipment Association be sold for a good price?”

Elder Wuji sat in the courtyard with a brighter smile on his lips.

He couldn’t help but sigh as he hung up the call, “Truly, the new waves push forward the old.”

…

Pei Jinye and Elder Wuji plotted together.

The Extraordinary Seventh Rank of the Heavy Equipment Association spent a full three hours to arrive at Nameless Island in the Federico Sea.

For the sake of the operation’s confidentiality, he didn’t inform First Elder Zhong upon arriving.

As a vice president of the Heavy Equipment Association, he knew very well that although there was a great risk in taking a stand this time, exonerating the Old Gods Association would be enough to restore the Heavy Equipment Association’s glory.

However, what Zuo Qiu Hailang didn’t expect was that the moment he arrived at his destination, even before he had set up the connection point,

he was just waiting for a chance to contact First Elder Zhong,

an ambush was already lying in wait, causing his recently eased heart to sink once more.

“Chii-la!”

The spatial shockwave carrying Pei Jinye’s Sword Light rushed towards him.

In an instant, it felt like the world was breaking apart!

Zuo Qiu Hailang snorted coldly; waves like those of the sea suddenly appeared beneath his feet, ready to slash through the Sword Light Pei Jinye had sent.

The piercing sound of dissolving Gang Qi filled the air.
