"That’s right, he’s not only of that race but also a member," Song Jinmin said:

"For Gerard to climb to that position, he must have had support from inside the organization. Think about it, even the Beautiful Country was played by them. There’s no need to say more about how powerful this organization is."

Lin Yi pondered silently and said in a low voice:

"It’s indeed beyond my imagination."

"There’s more beyond your imagination," Song Jinmin said:

"The reason for the close cooperation between the Storm Team and the Gongyuan Association is very likely because the Gongyuan Association is also an organization controlled by them. You have to be careful. Now that they’ve intervened, things have already taken an uncontrollable turn."

"The Gongyuan Association is also being controlled by them!"

Lin Yi sat silently on the steps, but inside, waves of shock surged through him!

The powerful and seemingly unstoppable Gongyuan Association was just a subsidiary organization.

This news is like a bombshell to anyone.

"All their actions are for that ore, but we haven’t figured out the purpose of the ore yet. Logically, they wouldn’t take such drastic actions."

"That’s also something I can’t figure out, but we can’t think about the Anglo organization with conventional thinking. The secrets and information they hold are more than we can imagine, which indirectly proves that the ore you got may have extraordinary significance."

"I understand."

"Be careful with everything."

It was rare for Song Jinmin’s tone to be so heartfelt.

"Call us when necessary. It’s not a loss of face."

"Thank you."

"What’s there to thank? Just arrange for the Big Treasure Sword when I visit Zhong Hai."

Song Jinmin said nothing more and hung up the phone.

Lin Yi got up alone and walked out, returning to his car.

Song Jinmin’s reminder cast a shadow over Lin Yi’s mood.

Before this, he had considered the issue but not in depth.

The ore he brought back was being researched intensively but its specific effects hadn’t been discovered yet.

Moreover, deciphering it was much harder than the ancient books previously retrieved.

Globally, with no one aware of its effects, such a high-profile robbery is completely incomprehensible.

But now, a hint of the true story seemed to surface.

The Anglo came, and this event was orchestrated alongside the Gongyuan Association.

Analyzing from this point, it seems that the Gongyuan Association alone wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

Even if they had the will, they wouldn’t choose such a moment.

Based on these reasons, this action is very likely led by the Anglo.

Those interested in the ore are also the Anglo!

Lin Yi’s eyes twitched and his brain raced.

Their aggressive behavior only left one possibility.

The Anglos might know the ore’s purpose; otherwise, they wouldn’t do such a crazy thing.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Yi’s lips.

"The Descendant of God? Quite a name they’ve given themselves!"

Then, Lin Yi pressed the accelerator and headed towards the airport.

...

Meanwhile, other members of the Central Guards Brigade were still inside the building, waiting for the cremation to finish.

As leaders of the Central Guards Brigade, the work of comforting family members was mostly done by Liang Xianghe and Liang Xianghe.

Such treatment was not afforded to others who died or were severely injured.

After comforting Chen Shengli’s family, the two stood together.

"What Lin Yi did yesterday is causing quite a stir online. Many are speculating that this incident was orchestrated by us."

"Let them speculate. If we don’t act after such a huge event, we’ll lose face."

Liang Xianghe nodded, not opposing Lin Yi’s actions.

However, things must be done by the book. If it brings negative impacts, then that’s another issue.

Now that Liang Xianghe said so, naturally, there was no problem.

"I guess all those people are dead, and Lin Yi might have calmed down."

"Ah... What a pity," Liang Xianghe sighed.

"You mean about him taking over the Central Guards Brigade?"

"Yes," Liang Xianghe sighed, saying:

"I’ve been grooming him as my successor since the day he joined the Central Guards Brigade, but now I feel he falls a bit short."

Liang Xianghe nodded with a smile and said:

"I always thought Lin Yi was a talented general, capable of winning any battle entrusted to him. Later, I found he’s a great commander with a broad view, but upon deeper thought, I believe he’s not suitable to head the Central Guards Brigade."

"Tell me why not."

"Because he’s human, and taking this position requires detachment."

"You old brat, how long has it been since I kicked you?"

"Haha..."

Liang Xianghe laughed, "We’re birds of a feather, otherwise we wouldn’t be standing here."

"Ah..." Liang Xianghe smiled wryly, "Although a pity, it seems fine in some ways."

"Who says otherwise? The Lin family already has a Lin Jingzhan. If Lin Yi turns out the same, it won’t be good."

"Who said there’s only Lin Jingzhan? There’s also another madman from the Lin family," Liang Xianghe said:

"Mind you, even at my peak, I couldn’t beat him."

"If I recall, even at your peak, Lin Jingzhan wasn’t necessarily your match."

"That comparison isn’t fair," Liang Xianghe said:

"I know a few things about him. Lin Jingzhan hasn’t even reached his prime yet."

"The Lin family are freaks, definitely abnormal," Liang Xianghe critiqued.

"Indeed, over the years, only the Lin family gave me this feeling— their talent is absurdly strong, rarely comparable."

"Though the two of them wander outside Yan Country, fortunately Lin Yi is with us."

"That’s something I’m grateful for."

"By the way, have you heard from him all these years?"

"No, after he entrusted Lin Jingzhan to me, I’ve heard nothing," Liang Xianghe sighed, "If he died in some unknown place, it would be a lifelong regret."

"That’s their fate— dying in the wilderness is their best end."

"Dying in the wilderness..."

Liang Xianghe murmured, then burst into laughter.

"You’re right, the wilderness is their best end."

"Let’s go; there’s still a lot to do. Let’s return to the brigade first."

Liang Xianghe nodded, and the two walked out together. But after glancing around, Liang Xianghe’s face suddenly changed.

"Where did that kid Lin Yi go?"
