That was said by some members who had survived the war.
These members witnessed the entire war, from the organization's invasion of headquarters to the Joker's death.
They said that Fang Xiu could perfectly utilize the power of the Primal Mask and even use it to help people break through to the fifth rank, which is how Fang Moli broke through.
Furthermore, Fang Xiu also possesses the ability to summon strange creatures; during his battle with Yan Changshou, he summoned a projection of the legendary Taotie.
These rumors made Ace of Spades increasingly fearful of the big shot; it turned out that what he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg of the big shot's strength.
Someone can help others break through to the fifth rank? What kind of strength does that require? At least the peak of the fifth rank, or even beyond, right?
I had previously witnessed a master summoning anomalies directly from the other side, which amazed me. But now, it turns out that this master can not only summon anomalies, but also summon phantom images of ghost gods!
The Taotie is a being of the level of a demon god! What S-class monsters are not even worthy of carrying its shoes in front of such a being.
"My lord, please spare me! It's not that I meant to offend you, but I was just too stupid to understand your profound intentions in killing Joker."
"Hmph." Fang Xiu sneered, "You are far inferior to the King of Spades. It's a pity that the King of Spades is dead, otherwise he would definitely have been able to guess my intentions."
Mentioning the King of Spades, the Ace of Spades couldn't help but feel a little sad and nostalgic for the days when he didn't have to use his brain.
"I'm asking you, is the Joker's life more important, or the Dean's plan?"
"Of course it's the Dean's plan!" Ace of Spades blurted out, a fanatical look even appearing on his face when the Dean was mentioned.
Fang Xiu found this expression very familiar, because recently many people at headquarters had been looking at him with the same gaze.
"Hmph, you know the dean's plan is important, then open your dog eyes wide and take a good look at what this is!"
Snap!
Fang Xiu threw the identification card issued by the Investigation Bureau headquarters, which belonged to the Chief Captain, directly at Ace of Spades.
When Ace of Spades opened his ID, the words "Captain" stood out starkly. He was immediately startled, as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind.
He... understood!
He naturally already knew that Fang Xiu had become the captain, but what surprised him was that he finally understood the profound intentions of the big boss!
"My lord! Could it be that you..." Ace of Spades looked at Fang Xiu in shock.
Fang Xiu didn't speak, but nodded calmly at him, everything was understood without words.
The Ace of Spades was thrilled to receive the big shot's affirmation.
"Sir, you are indeed brilliant! I understand now. So your purpose in doing this is to become the captain and completely control headquarters!"
Fang Xiu nodded with a hint of approval: "Then tell me, why do I want to be the captain?"
When the big boss asked him to speak, the Ace of Spades, who believed he had seen through Fang Xiu's intentions, naturally had a strong desire to perform.
"Of course, it's for legitimacy! To use the headquarters' name to promote the nationwide transformation into the bizarre!"
Our poker organization has always been hidden in the shadows. To put it bluntly, in ancient times, if the headquarters were the legitimate royal family, then poker would be a traitor!
Even if a treacherous minister succeeds in usurping the throne, it is difficult to gain popular support. Even when Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, he still had to uphold righteousness in many matters.
Therefore, if the poker organization promotes the idea of the whole people being weird, the public will definitely think that we are an evil organization and that what we do is to harm them. Naturally, we will encounter considerable resistance, and there may even be many civilian rebellion organizations.
But if this matter is pushed by headquarters, the effect will be completely different. The public will trust the government. Once the government says that the supernatural is invincible and the only way to survive is to become supernatural, the resistance will be much smaller!
"My lord, you truly have foresight! Although one Joker died, this calculated act of self-inflicted injury has succeeded. Headquarters will soon be completely under your control. At that time, you will manipulate headquarters openly while the Poker Cards operate covertly, using both to drive the entire population towards the bizarre—it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!"
The more the Ace of Spades spoke, the more excited he became, and the more admiring he looked at Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu looked at him with increasing satisfaction; indeed, leaving only the Ace of Spades was the right decision.
It turns out it was all a scheme by the big boss from beginning to end.
At this thought, Ace of Spades suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times. He had actually doubted the big boss before; he deserved to die.
To draw whenever you want, and to draw loudly and clearly—that's the Ace of Spades.
Clap clap clap!
The Ace of Spades slapped himself several times in the buttocks.
"My lord, I deserve to die. I failed to understand your foresight in time, and even doubted you. I deserve to die a thousand deaths."
"Remember, never doubt me. Consider this a lesson for you."
"Ah!" The Ace of Spades screamed in agony.
Fang Xiu's left hand, which was resting on his shoulder, had somehow split open, and a ferocious gluttonous mouth was viciously gnawing at the shadowy body of the Ace of Spades.
Even though he was in excruciating pain, the Ace of Spades remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to move at all, and even straightened his back to make it easier for the boss to eat.
A moment later, Fang Xiu released his grip, and a piece was missing from the shoulder of the Ace of Spades, as if a piece of its shadow had been shaved off.
However, this injury was nothing to him, since his body was made of shadows and could regenerate at any time.
Just as Ace of Spades was about to restore his body, he suddenly realized, "No, I have to play the victim. The big boss just punished me. If I turn around and restore my body, wouldn't that be going against the big boss?"
Thinking of this, Ace of Spades couldn't help but silently applaud his own intelligence.
He realized that he had become much smarter after the King of Spades died. He not only saw through the boss's plans, but also knew how to please the boss.
It must have been the King of Spades that affected my performance before, that must be it.
"How is things going internally within the organization?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
Ace of Spades quickly replied, "The situation is not good. The Joker is dead, the organization has lost a lot of manpower, and without a leader, the organization is now showing signs of splitting up. The reason we have been able to hold on until now is entirely due to the prestige of the Dean."
"Hmm." Fang Xiu nodded indifferently, then asked a surprising question: "Do you want to be the Joker?"
The Ace of Spades was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening in disbelief, followed by a look of ecstatic joy.
"I am too... I leave everything to the adults to decide."
"I won't help you much with this. After all, my current position is the captain, and this matter is confidential. You are the person I trust most in the entire Poker Organization. No one else can know about this. Can you do that?"
