Chapter 395: Even the Military Generals Are Defected

Chapter 395: The High Generals Have All Been Turned

Wang Guohua directly issued an alliance notice:

"The Secretariat, in conjunction with the Dao Sect, Blaze, and the Jiang family, have committed insubordination and openly challenged the Alliance, attempting to overthrow it. Shen Que (actual identity Noah Squire) brutally murdered the Alliance Leader in the central hall of the Alliance Building.

I hereby order all military personnel to spare no effort in eliminating them without mercy.

The position of Alliance Leader cannot be left vacant; Deputy Alliance Leader Wang Guohua will temporarily assume the role of Alliance Leader until the situation is fully resolved."

Mist Month clapped her hands,

"If I hadn't recorded everything, I might have believed you.

Otherwise, spreading rumors is as easy as opening one's mouth, while dispelling them requires running oneself ragged."

Wang Guohua glared at Mist Month coldly, while Fu Yanqi and Lu Li raised their hands simultaneously, "We all recorded it, and we will start dispelling the rumors immediately."

"Alliance Notice: [Video][Image][Image] Acting Alliance Leader Wang Guohua, in collusion with remnants of the former regime, intends to overthrow the Alliance and frame Prince Squire, the descendant of a hero, for the murder of the Alliance Leader. Their malicious intentions are clear and evident.

Considering the special circumstances, the military has been infiltrated by enemy agents. The Secretariat has no choice but to take over the entire Alliance, including the Central City under the jurisdiction of the Alliance Leader and all military affairs."

Chuci Xie looked at the alliance notice, clearly the Secretariat had been well-prepared. He let out a low laugh,

"First, they target me, sowing discord between me and Chen Meng. As soon as my people make a move, you immediately issue a notice of rebellion.

Not bad, this move is truly excellent, worthy of..."

Mist Month interrupted him directly, "Sorry, this has nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself. It's just genetics; my family has good genes."

Chu Cixie looked at Wu Yue, "I was supposed to meet you much sooner."

Wu Yue nodded, "Yes, in my so-called memories from my past life, the only character that could be considered warm was the old bartender—the role you set up for yourself.

At a time when I had lost all hope and everything, you were my only companion and source of warmth, like a father, a teacher, and a friend, listening to my troubles as an elder and healing my cold heart."

It was precisely the appearance of such a character that made Chu Cixie well aware that she would reveal her skills to quickly break free from Zui Yese.

Disgusting, right? Even at the last moment, he couldn’t resist loading himself up with bonus points, trying to evoke her reverence and admiration.

A nasty grin suddenly spread across Wu Yue’s face,

"But you know what? Actually, I’m a lightweight—it doesn’t fit your setting of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and chatting all night. I also don’t like the feeling of hanging around bars getting drunk and foggy-headed. Alcohol doesn’t solve problems; it only numbs my will.

A strong will, a clear head, and cool judgment are the only true ways to drive away troubles and worries."

"Shen Que: So you don’t like drinking? If you don’t like it, we won’t drink next time."

"Wu Yue: I was just messing with him. I like drinking with you. I like it when you hold me and we get cozy when I’m a little buzzed—it feels especially comfortable."

His wife was sweet-talking him.

Shen Que felt shy, his face slightly red as he looked down at Wu Yue.

"Shen Que: I like it too. I like watching you squint your eyes with a look of enjoyment on your face."

Shen Que had been highly tense since Chu Cixie’s appearance, but with just one sentence from Wu Yue, he was instantly soothed, so thrilled he was floating on air.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, and Chu Cixie’s face gradually soured.

He looked at Wang Guohua, "Why haven't the military arrived yet?"

Wang Guohua's expression changed, "The White Tiger lost contact after entering the sea mining town, and there's been no news from the Azure Dragon or the Vermilion Bird either. I don't know..."

Wu Yue blinked, "You don't know? Well, I do. Let me tell you—they've all defected to my side."

Wang Guohua refused to believe it, "Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!"

Zhou Qianfeng sneered, "We already spelled it out for you. You're so arrogant, thinking you still hold all the cards. Like we said, you're backed into a corner, you punks!"

Seeing Wang Guohua's disbelief, Wu Yue told him:

"Then let's start from the beginning, from the sea mining town..."

...

Wu Yue said to Shen Que, "Let's go find the White Tiger directly."

The map of the sea mining town had been completely distorted by the massive explosion Wu Yue caused earlier. The central area was entirely destroyed, with only the outskirts retaining the town's basic appearance.

Wu Yue found a mining truck, smashed the window, opened the door, hotwired it, and stepped on the gas—all with the ease of a seasoned pro.

As she closed the door, Shen Que was already seated in the passenger seat. Just as Wu Yue was about to start the vehicle,

Shen Que grabbed her by the neck and kissed her violently. If they weren't pressed for time, Wu Yue suspected he might have had his way with her right then and there.

It was clear that Shen Que had been thoroughly frustrated with her during this instance.

Wu Yue stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and the mining truck lurched to life.

Shen Que asked, "What's your plan?"

Wu Yue glanced at him—his serious expression made him look like an actual operative contemplating a mission.

In reality, though, from the moment he got in the car, his mind had been filled with nothing but dirty thoughts.

Wu Yue warned him, "Can you get your mind out of the gutter?"

Shen Que turned to look at her, "If I can't do it, can't I at least think about it?"

Wu Yue retorted, "It's affecting my ability to think."

Shen Que shrugged, "If you're borrowing my mental energy, don't expect miracles. This is just how I am."

Wu Yue, "..." Fine, fine! This guy's just scoring points! That annoying tone is back again!

Suppressing her anger, Wu Yue said, "The military must have their own way of rallying their forces. Otherwise, at this rate, even if they enter the sea mining town—an instance this big—they won't make it out until after S4 is over, let alone confront Sirius head-on."

Shen Que asked, "Didn't you say the Order Realm is also making a move? Could they have sent some intel over? Since your mother managed to contact your father through the astral array, maybe the other side has a similar channel."

Wu Yue nodded, "Very likely..."

Wu Yue pondered, then suddenly recalled,

"That item of Richard's that would turn him into a vampire was destroyed, but now Vlad carries the vampiric presence. Could there be a new link between them? At the time, no one from Blaze died—only Chen Zhou from the Shadows... Chen Zhou, he's an inherently treacherous person. He wouldn't need persuading; he'd be more than willing, even eager, to join the other side."

Wu Yue didn't have an omniscient view, but that didn't stop her from cataloging this intel about Chen Zhou into her vast mental database. If needed, this detail would become part of her hypotheses.

As Wu Yue drove further out of the city, she finally noticed signs of a military presence at the entrance toll station.

Wu Yue immediately took a detour. She lowered her voice and looked at Shen Que, "Let's go, we'll get out and join them."

Shen Que grabbed her, "Ask me again: 'Have you been busy lately?'"

Wu Yue, "...Captain, have you been busy lately?"

Shen Que nodded, "Busy."

Wu Yue, "...Spending time with your destined person?"

Shen Que shook his head, "With my wife."

Wu Yue was fed up with this guy, and he was still looking at her.

"Shen Que: Ask me, what have we been doing together?"

"Wu Yue: I won't ask. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming."

"Shen Que: Then I’m backing out."

"Wu Yue: Do you even realize what kind of situation this is?!"

"Shen Que: Back then, I was so pitiful. I agreed to everything you said, did whatever you wanted, and stayed by your side through everything."

Wu Yue gritted her teeth in fury. She grabbed Shen Que by the collar, buried her head in his neck, and bit down hard.

She was so enraged she could've killed him—she wished she could just bite this person to death!!

Only when her mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood did Wu Yue finally release her built-up fury.

She looked up at Shen Que, and her expression instantly froze.

Shen Que’s face was flushed, his gaze foggy and distant as he looked at her. Wu Yue was completely dumbfounded:

Holy shit!! This bastard actually liked it!
