Chapter 1444 - 1442: Three-Step Plan
"To assist Yang Cao and Ye Xin’s operations, I’ve outlined a three-step plan!" Night Fire produced a strategic scheme and began explaining.
"The first and second steps will occur simultaneously. The first step primarily ensures the authenticity of Yang Cao and Ye Xin’s identities, aiming to guarantee the accuracy of information and support their work. I’ll carry out this task with Gao Hong. The second step involves external influence. This part of the work falls under you and Iron Face, boss. The main goal is to create impactful events to redirect attention towards you, thereby reducing the focus and pressure on Yang Cao and Ye Xin. Also, emphasis will be placed on continuing parasite research and developing their capabilities."
Yang Chen nodded slowly, "What about the third step?"
"The third step is the most crucial!" Night Fire said in a serious tone.
Night Fire unfurled a map onto the table.
"This is a map of the vicinity of Fuyuan Mountain. During this period, we need to set up ambushes at Fuyuan Mountain to prepare for subsequent plans! As long as our plan goes smoothly, Yang Cao and Ye Xin can infiltrate the research base successfully. Once they acquire the key information, they must choose to retreat! Our third step is to clear the escape route! Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain if we can’t get away!"
Yang Chen nodded slowly, "You’re right!"
He looked at Gao Hong and Iron Face, "Do you have any comments?"
Gao Hong shook his head.
Iron Face said casually, "I will follow your arrangements!"
"Alright then!" Yang Chen nodded, "Let me add another task!"
After speaking, Yang Chen looked up and shouted upstairs, "Imano Genso, come down!"
Upon hearing Yang Chen’s call, Imano Genso immediately ran downstairs.
"Mr. Yang! You called me!" Imano Genso bowed.
Yang Chen waved Imano Genso over and pointed to the sofa beside him, "Come, sit here."
After hesitating for a moment, Imano Genso glanced at Night Fire and the others, then finally decided to approach Yang Chen, bowed to the group, and sat down.
Yang Chen said, "Imano Genso, I am about to issue your first task. Are you ready?"
"Hai! I’m ready! Always at the ready! Just say the word, and I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!" Imano Genso said enthusiastically.
Yang Chen nodded and said to Imano Genso, "Four Spirits Hall is now considered completely eradicated."
When they went to Four Spirits Hall, they also summoned the people from Sanling Hall. So, apart from some minor minions, Four Spirits Hall’s influential figures and those with a degree of status have all been wiped out. The remaining minions are insignificant and cannot stir up trouble.
"Hai!" Imano Genso responded gravely, "These people deserved it! Their existence is like a parasite sucking the blood of the great Beihai Country while harming its nurturing quality. Our great Beihai Country houses grave sinners! Even if they are dragged from the graves and killed a hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough to atone for their crimes!"
Yang Chen looked at the indignant Imano Genso and said, "The task I have for you is also related to Four Spirits Hall."
Imano Genso paused but then bowed and responded, "Hai! Give your orders!"
Yang Chen said, "I need you to pose as a deserter from Four Spirits Hall!"
"Deserter?!!" Imano Genso froze for a moment, looking at Yang Chen in disbelief.
To him, desertion was a disgraceful affair!
"What’s wrong? Unwilling?" Yang Chen asked Imano Genso.
"Willing!" Imano Genso immediately responded, "For you, for the great Beihai Country, I’d go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Yang Chen chuckled, "No need for you to go through fire and water; your task is quite safe."
"Just give me the order!"
"I need you to act the part of a deserter, in a very miserable state. With Four Spirits Hall destroyed, no one knows your identity or what happened back then. I simply need you to appear as a member of Four Spirits Hall, taking on the identity of the deputy Hall Master of Er Ling Hall, and tell other factions about my terror, describe my strength! And tell them I’m from Flame Country, with the intent to dismantle all forces in Beihai Country, to cause trouble and provoke them, understood?"
"This..." Imano Genso looked troubled, "I don’t want to betray Mr. Yang..."
"This isn’t betrayal," Yang Chen smiled, "I just need you to help me create momentum; I want them to be well-prepared. Rest assured, I’ll back you up. Wherever you go, I’ll follow, and what you say will be exactly what happens."
"This..." Imano Genso was internally conflicted.
He witnessed Yang Chen’s power and understood the terror of what Yang Chen spoke of. He knew what he had to do and was determined to pledge allegiance to Yang Chen. This new task made him uncomfortable.
After all, he had just decided to abandon his identity with Four Spirits Hall and align himself with Yang Chen.
After some internal conflict, Imano Genso nodded earnestly, "Alright! As long as I can assist Mr. Yang, I’ll do anything!"
Yang Chen nodded, "Good!"
He turned to Night Fire, "For the second plan, I need him to help me create momentum, carry on as usual!"
"Alright!" Night Fire immediately nodded.
"You can head back now!" Yang Chen said to Imano Genso.
Imano Genso nodded, left the living room, and went upstairs.
The following matters didn’t need Imano Genso’s involvement.
Although Yang Chen would assign tasks to Imano Genso, it didn’t mean he completely trusted him yet. After all, it had been less than a day, and he couldn’t guarantee someone’s unwavering loyalty in half a day.
"I have a few other considerations to discuss with you," Yang Chen said softly to the group, "Our country has now developed medication that can control parasites. I witnessed it firsthand today. If given the chance, we must obtain this and deliver it back immediately! This is extremely important, understand?"
"Understood!" The three nodded.
"Also! Remember! Do not engage them unless necessary, avoid direct confrontation at all costs! The point isn’t about killing them; it’s about ensuring our own safety! Night Fire, having been parasitized, you know the feeling! I don’t want to leave here with a monster or return with a box of ashes, understand?" Yang Chen said solemnly.
He spoke very seriously.
If someone gets infected and begins mutating, he has no choice but to incinerate them.
At that time, all that would remain of a person is a box of ashes, a sight he doesn’t wish to see.
"Rest assured! We won’t engage them directly; if we do encounter them, we’ll escape immediately rather than face them head-on. Our primary work is intelligence gathering, not combat," Night Fire replied with a smile.
Yang Chen nodded slightly, "That’s good!"
