Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi both felt assured of their victory, so the White Wolf Mercenary Corps arrived the latest. The team assembled quickly, and as the only two leaders of the base’s major powers and the initiators of this operation, Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun naturally had to deliver motivational speeches before departure.
Bai Zhengyi always appeared sanctimonious. With just a few words, he could turn black into white. The plan to attack Luyun County was originally a power struggle between him and Zhao Qiankun. Yet, after Bai Zhengyi spoke, it transformed into a matter of considering the millions of residents of the base.
Zhao Qiankun was equally skilled at stirring people’s hearts. This time, without Fang Yuxin to disrupt his plans, and with no intention from Bai Zhengyi to cause turmoil at such a crucial moment and give away any hints, nobody stopped Zhao Qiankun from taking the stage, preventing the kind of embarrassing blunder that happened last time.
After the motivational speeches, the team was ready to set off. Neither Zhao Qiankun nor Bai Yi took their exclusive vehicles; instead, they boarded trucks along with everyone else and set out for Luyun County in a mighty procession.
Han Lingxi waved goodbye to Zhao Qiankun with reluctance. Once Zhao Qiankun’s people had left, she returned to the car and exchanged a knowing smile with Yang Bo, who was acting as the driver. By then, many of the residents who had come to see them off still hadn’t left. Bai Zhengyi, despite his scheming mind, couldn’t take action just yet and could only watch the Qiankun Mercenary Group depart.
Afterward, he led his trusted subordinates back to the White Wolf Mercenary Corps’ station. The team had only left a short while ago; if he were to make a move now, Zhao Qiankun could discover it and even rush back. So, he had to wait!
With these two powers harboring ulterior motives gone, the remaining people also trickled away. Everyone felt confident about attacking Luyun County, and with the presence of several Level 4 Superpower Users including Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi, there was no real concern.
Fang Yuxin smiled mischievously and glanced at the oblivious residents around her, feeling a sudden sympathy for them. She didn’t know how many of those who joined the mission would return alive, but neither Zhao Qiankun nor Bai Yi were complete madmen. Since many of those who joined the mission were the backbone of the base, even if they were to compete, they likely wouldn’t let others die in vain.
