Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang sprinted down the street, a layer of transparent mist enveloping them, making it seem as if no one else could see them.
"I never expected that the third kid would be a traitor! But it's all for the best. At least we can remove this thorn in our side in advance, so that nothing else can go wrong later!"
Although both of them suffered minor injuries, they managed to defend their vital points during the battle, preventing any potential problems. Once they recover from these injuries, they will be back to their old selves.
The Demon Apostles and their three committee members will remain in a stalemate, and nothing will change.
A door opened, and Jiang Ran and Gwen appeared before them.
This made the two realize something was wrong instantly, because the door had appeared out of thin air on the wall!
"Who goes there?!"
"I just came to ask a question..."
Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang quickly turned around and fled. They didn't want to cause any trouble on their way back, and they didn't even know these two people!
"Let's talk at our headquarters!"
Zhao Tiao, as expected of a seasoned veteran, feared that this was an ambush by the Demon Apostles, so he would not stop to talk to Jiang Ran. If they wanted to talk, they should go to their headquarters, where at least it was their home ground!
Jiang Ran thought about it. If he directly stopped the two of them, they would definitely treat him as an enemy, and a battle would be inevitable. Besides, he had no reason to do so.
Zhao Tiao is unlikely to be the one to trigger the problem. If you want to find Li Tianhu, you still have to go to their headquarters. In the end, it's all the same.
After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Ran used [Armed] to generate a high-speed jet for himself and followed Gwen, maintaining a safe distance to show that he had no hostile intentions.
As for the rioting crowd below? That's a matter for the authorities to consider.
In fact, considering the common goal of resisting the demons, the three committee members should have a common headquarters to ensure rapid support in case one side is attacked. However, this is not the case. The three committee members are outwardly united but inwardly divided, and their headquarters are far apart.
Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang finally returned to headquarters. The headquarters of the three committee members was not something that needed to be hidden. Here, they had more arrangements, more subordinates, and more trump cards, which made the two of them relax for the time being. They turned around and looked at Jiang Ran and the other person.
"We are acting out of safety concerns, please forgive us. However, we do not seem to know each other and do not know why you two have contacted us."
“Li Liubi seems to have betrayed you, but I’m very curious why this well-off young master would do such a thing. Do you have any questions for him?”
Jiang Ran did not hide the fact that she knew the truth. Sometimes, being secretive makes it harder to ask questions, so it's better to be open and honest.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Ran say this, Zhao Tiao's face darkened: "This guy always complains about why he can't get close to the core of power. He only thinks that Brother Li favors his two older brothers, but he never thinks that he is not capable enough. Besides strength, he is far from being good enough in terms of temperament and wisdom."
"I have nothing to say to him. What happened today was unexpected, but also reasonable."
It seemed that Zhao Tiao wouldn't get any information from him, so Jiang Ran then asked to see Li Tianhu. Zhao Tiao and the other man didn't know where Jiang Ran came from, so they didn't dare to let him in directly, but they also couldn't refuse him outright.
"We need to inform our elder brother."
"Yes, of course. I will wait here for the time being. Please inform Chairman Li as soon as possible."
Jiang Ran and Gwen sat in chairs waiting for the results. He believed that Li Tianhu would definitely meet with him. As a leader, he couldn't possibly ignore the arrival of a powerful stranger.
Gwen yawned: "Always running around, even though not a day has passed, it feels like I haven't had a moment to myself."
Jiang Ran's gaze inadvertently drifted towards the corridor, and after catching sight of a familiar figure, he instantly locked onto him!
"Alex the Great? What's he doing here?"
Having openly collected seals in the past, he should have been hostile to the three chairmen... But thinking about it, it makes sense. Jiang Ran had also collected seals before, and Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang didn't recognize him either, which means that Li Tianhu's side probably hasn't been checking the surveillance footage much lately.
Didn't Yang Zong send the intelligence over? That's strange.
Is Alex no longer focused on collecting seals? What is he planning to do then?
"Gentlemen, please come in, brother."
Li Tianhu's side wouldn't just leave a strong person hanging here. Although Jiang Ran didn't seem to have much strength, Gwen beside him was a genuine [near-god].
So soon, Jiang Ran followed Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang into Li Tianhu's headquarters. Although Li Tianhu agreed to see him, these two [near-gods] still had to stay with him to prevent any accidents.
There were only five people in the huge conference room: Jiang Ran and Gwen, two of Li Tianhu's near-god-level subordinates.
When facing Li Tianhu, Jiang Ran did not immediately ask about Li Liubi. Instead, he first stated that he was a newcomer from out of town. He explained that he had previously inquired and found that many people in the residential building had gone outside, so it was reasonable to assume that he came from another place.
Jiang Ran explained that he was new to the area and naturally wanted to pay his respects to the local leader first. He deliberately elevated Li Tianhu's status and then discussed two topics before turning to Li Liubi.
"My good-for-nothing son, I didn't really have any expectations for him. I just hoped he could live a peaceful life, even if he was a spoiled brat. But I never thought he would betray us for power. That fool, even if I pass this legacy to him, can he protect it? He's just a tool of the devil."
Li Tianhu, being in a superior position, didn't lose his composure too much. After a few words, he changed the subject. Jiang Ran knew he wouldn't get anything out of him, so he took his leave.
"Not even Li Tianhu? Then it's very possible that it was written on the note."
Jiang Ran was considering whether or not to sneak into Li Liubi's room to take a look.
He pushed open the door to leave the conference room and happened to run into Alex and his two inseparable henchmen, and even Booles, the four of them.
"What a coincidence, Jiang Ran."
The two sides sized each other up, and then Alex led his men into the conference room.
"Chairman Li, I am here on behalf of Chairman Bai to discuss with you the final matters of the joint operation."
