Chen Ping stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating that this report had attracted his close attention.
Gabrielle, noticing the change in Chen Ping's expression, stopped what she was doing and asked with concern, "Chen Ping, what happened? Is there a problem with this intelligence?"
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, then handed the intelligence report to Gabriel, indicating that she should take a look: "Take a look at this latest intelligence report. It's about the Moore family, whose ships have been frequently appearing in the nearby waters recently."
Gabriel took it and read it carefully, interpreting it as she read: "According to the latest intelligence, the owners of the ships that have been repeatedly appearing near our waters recently are the forces known as the Mor family."
This family is considered a first-rate clan in the Glazed Sea. The patriarch has reached the mid-stage of the Creation God realm, and the First and Second Elders are also at the early stage of the Creation God realm. The family also has an elder council, which is said to require reaching the late stage of the God King realm to be selected. This is the strength the Mor family has outwardly displayed; as for their hidden strength, it remains unclear.
Further intelligence revealed that although the Mor family's actual status within the Glass Sea did not seem to be top-tier, their recent bold actions had attracted attention, leading some to speculate that they might be supported or protected by a top-tier family.
This bold and arrogant behavior suggests either that the Moore family has a more powerful background, or that they are planning a far-reaching operation.
After reading it, Gabriel frowned, put down the intelligence report, and said, "Is this the Mor family the family whose ships have been appearing from time to time lately? What is their purpose? Or rather, what are they looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know. There's still too little information. The snake people only recently discovered the Mor family, so it might take some time. Anyway, let's not worry about it for now."
"Wait a moment. I'll have the snake people gather intelligence on them. Once we've confirmed the Mor family's intentions, we'll make other plans. As long as it's unrelated to the Heart of the Divine Island, we don't need to meddle."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel nodded: "Hmm, that's fine. Oh, when are Linafil and the others going to break through? Handling affairs is really not my forte as a combat-type angel, ugh!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not good at this either. Usually, Lu Shu, Linafeier, and Anlula handle these things. They're not as slow as us."
Besides, they've only just begun refining the power of rules; it hasn't even been a month yet. How could they possibly achieve a breakthrough so quickly? It would take at least several months, right? And that's assuming we have ample resources. For others, it would probably take years.
"So, we'll just have to work hard during this period."
Gabriel stretched her aching shoulders, not forgetting to retort to Chen Ping: "If you hadn't been so restless last night, I wouldn't be so tired." Chen Ping smiled awkwardly, trying to explain: "I reminded you that you can use your divine power to restore your strength."
However, Gabriel wasn't buying it. She rolled her eyes and sneered, "You have the nerve to say that! The first time I tried to recover using divine power, I couldn't get out of bed for a whole day. My legs were so weak I couldn't use them. Luckily, I learned my lesson after a few times and I won't fall for your tricks again."
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Seeing Gabriel's instantly darkened expression, Chen Ping guiltily lowered his head and pretended to be seriously examining the documents. Gabriel, seeing this, merely snorted coldly and continued working, her temporarily darkened hair gradually returning to normal.
Chen Ping then looked away and breathed a sigh of relief.
......
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The Mor family's ships are still frequently seen in the nearby waters, seemingly still searching for their target. During this time, the snake-people members who went out to scout have been sending back intelligence one after another, gradually revealing the outline of the matter.
It turns out that the source of this large-scale operation by the Moore family stemmed from an incident that occurred on an island they controlled.
According to inquiries made by the Snake-People, a rare treasure appeared at an auction hosted by the Mor family on the island. This treasure is said to possess the magical power to help peak God-Kings cross over to the realm of Creator Gods. However, the source of the information did not reveal the specific item.
Then, a dramatic turn of events occurred: the treasure vanished after the auction, stolen. The seller was extremely dissatisfied and insisted on compensation from the Moore family. The Moore family, humiliated, desperate to recover the treasure and restore their reputation, spared no expense in deploying a large force to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding waters.
Of course, this is what the Mor family says, but the information the snake people gathered from the back alleys is different from what the Mor family says.
The information obtained by the Snake-People through unofficial channels presents a different version. Rumor has it that an arrogant young master of the Mor family coveted a treasure passed down through generations of a smaller family and attempted to forcibly take it, but was refused.
This young master, relying on his power, sent one of his family's late-stage God King experts to forcibly seize the treasure. Unexpectedly, the small family actually had a mid-stage God King expert hidden within. Although he unfortunately perished in the fierce battle, the remaining family members took advantage of the chaos to escape and take the treasure with them.
In the face of imminent death, this mid-stage God-King unleashed astonishing combat power, forcing the late-stage God-King to proceed with extreme caution, thus preventing a swift victory. Although the family patriarch ultimately perished, his heroic resistance left a deep imprint on people's hearts, buying the small family a chance to recover and successfully preserving their family heirloom.
That's why the snake people were able to find out so much. The nearby residents had all witnessed the battle clearly, and with a little inquiry, they were able to figure out exactly what had happened.
......
Gabriel put down the intelligence report, then looked at Chen Ping and asked, "Chen Ping, which one do you think it will be?"
After hearing this, Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "It's all possible, but I believe in the Snake People's ability to gather information, so it's more likely to be the latter situation. But no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to us, as long as we're not involved. Even if they cause a huge uproar, it's none of our business."
"Hmm, let the snake people stay for a while longer and see what happens next. If there's nothing else, then let them come back."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel nodded, indicating that she understood.
