I've lived in this area for so long.
They know each other to some extent.
In addition, the environment has deteriorated in recent years, and new mercenary groups are becoming increasingly rare.
Even if someone organizes a new mercenary group, it's all the same old faces.
They are people I can say I know.
It is precisely because they understand that they cannot understand who has such great personal charisma to become the leader.
There are indeed outstanding individuals.
But none of them were truly outstanding.
The crowd, still puzzled, gradually dispersed.
The previous liveliness has disappeared.
With nothing exciting to watch, Luo Chen and his friend naturally stopped paying attention.
But Lao Tie still looked preoccupied, as if he was still struggling with something he couldn't understand before.
Luo Chen glanced at it but ignored it.
Instead, he looked ahead with great interest.
There, the nine people who still held a high position in this region remained.
However, Luo Chen took a closer look at them with some interest.
Although I don't know anything about those eight regimental commanders.
But for Jiang Tao, there were still some things from before.
Luo Chen had already guessed what was going on.
[Based on previous events and what others have said, there is still some uncertainty.]
[But this does not prevent the truth from gradually moving in the right direction.]
Neither Jiang Tao's previous words nor the lack of response to the public's support for him to be the leader.
However, this is combined with the speculations of others.
Without a doubt, the things involved behind the scenes are not simple.
It's said to be a conspiracy.
But Luo Chen realized that this must be the increased difficulty mentioned in the dream.
Things that seem normal are actually not normal.
After all, no one is immune to the allure of power.
If there is no love, it only means that the value given does not meet the ideal in one's heart.
It's like having something extremely valuable right in front of you, but being too poor to get it because of your own circumstances, and you can only watch helplessly as it falls into someone else's pocket.
Conversely, if something extremely valuable is placed before you, but you feel no interest whatsoever, even if you don't care about the amount of money in your own circumstances.
But he remained unmoved.
That means that this seemingly priceless and rare item must contain some serious problem.
This resulted in me having absolutely no desire to buy it.
They even avoided it like the plague.
If we compare them like this...
Does this mean that the leader's identity is also like this?
Having figured this out, Luo Chen's previous worries all became clear.

"It's about time to start over. We've given them enough time."
On stage.
Sanger's voice rang out, and he looked impatient as he smoked a cigar.
Even though the chair he was sitting in was very comfortable and he felt good.
Yet it still gave him a feeling of being pricked.
Sang's complaints went unanswered; instead, the other leaders glanced at him with slight disdain and then ignored him.
Even Moto, who loved to oppose Sanger the most, kept quiet at this moment and did not utter a sarcastic remark.
Moto sat quietly in the chair, a kind and gentle smile on his face.
No one knew what Moto was laughing about at that moment, which was rather intriguing.
But they knew very well that people who didn't know Moto could really be fooled by his appearance.
They thought this guy posed no threat and was a great philanthropist.
People who think this way usually don't end up in a good situation.
Especially with known intelligence, based on understanding.
Those who were deceived by Moto were never seen again after that.
Whether they live or die, or are utterly ruined and left with nothing but bones.
Nobody knows the details of this matter.
However, this does not prevent them from being less wary of Moto.
Moto seemed to notice the strange looks on their faces.
His eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
They still looked so kind and approachable.
He seemed unconcerned about how others viewed him, and instead noticed someone staring at him.
Moto would always greet them in a friendly manner.
Of course, unsurprisingly, this was met with a hasty retreat and an expression of apprehension.
Only Sanger seemed to lack a brain, glaring at Moto without showing any weakness.
Moto's smile widened, revealing his pearly white teeth.
Sanger's face instantly darkened, and he wished he could slap Moto's face with his size 48 shoehorn.
But in the end, he just snorted and stopped paying attention.
Sanger may seem a bit impulsive, but he still has some brains.
What kind of person is Moto?
Sanger is well aware of this.
The reason they are so arrogant is simply because they have some confidence.
I'm no longer paying attention to Moto.
Instead, his gaze turned to where Jiang Tao was.
However, upon seeing this, Sanger was stunned.
"Huh? Where's Jiang Tao? He's disappeared."
Sanger said that although he was lost in thought here, he did not want to stay any longer.
But they didn't actually leave in a fit of impatience.
When he complained earlier, Jiang Tao was still in his position.
Because of Moto's disgusting gaze, Jiang Tao disappeared in no time.
How could this not make him feel strange?
So, where did Jiang Tao go at this time?
[...]
Backstage.
A corner.
Jiang Tao, who had disappeared, reappeared here.
Standing with him was a young man.
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Tao asked calmly, "Shouldn't you be following the plan at this point?"
"Or is there a problem with the plan that has been decided?"
No, that's not it.
In response to Jiang Tao's question, the young man simply shook his head slightly and then explained, "I just feel that some things still need to be handled with more caution."
Jiang Tao was slightly puzzled.
Although the young man in front of me looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Too naive.
But his mind, like the old man's, is hard to fathom.
If it weren't for that identity...
The person in front of him had no chance of ever appearing in his sight.
Jiang Tao paused for a moment: "Wasn't the plan I mentioned earlier something that everyone was very satisfied with?"
"And we all fully support you and approve of your plan."
"But you feel it's not perfect now. Forgive my ignorance, and I apologize, but I'm thinking about what aspects of this plan I'm not satisfied with."
"Of course there is."
The young man took two steps and emerged from the shadows.
On her youthful face, a pair of bright black eyes met Jiang Tao's slightly weathered face.
"Our original plan was to unite this region and form an alliance based on the reasons for the conquest."
“That’s right.” Jiang Tao nodded.
"The next step is to put forward the identity of the leader and let everyone participate, creating the illusion that everyone can be elected and everyone is suitable for the position."
“Yes.” Jiang Tao nodded again.
"But I just watched the whole process carefully backstage. Although everything was going according to plan, there was one thing I didn't expect..."
The young man paused at this point.
