Pretty Nation, Free City, heart of prosperity.
The nondescript Umbrella Corporation, Chairman's office.
"Boss, why tell the Ji family about this? Provoking the Jiuzhou Zhao clan out of nowhere will be very disadvantageous for our entry into Jiuzhou."
The secretary by his side said with great curiosity.
Li Fan's lips curved into a hint of leisurely confidence, his ambition expanding to its absolute limit as he spoke.
"You don't understand. The Zhao clan has been entrenched in Jiuzhou for many years. If we want to enter, this is an opportunity."
"There's an old saying in Jiuzhou: the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"The Ji family is merely a pawn I'm using to test the Zhao clan."
"It's most fitting to use the Ji family to probe the Zhao clan; they are a natural pawn hostile to the Zhao clan."
Li Fan himself was from Jiuzhou. No matter how well he fared elsewhere, he yearned to return to Jiuzhou, his true home.
Moreover, he possessed the Gate of Apocalypse. In that world, technology could be casually exchanged for mere food.
Once he possessed sufficient power in this world, he would counter-attack the apocalyptic world and become the master of both realms.
"However, we still need to strengthen Umbrella's security. The Zhao clan is not simple."
Although Li Fan was boastful, he remained rational, knowing that the Zhao clan was not easy to deal with, and his current strength was insufficient.
Li Fan did not know about the Zhao clan from the beginning. It was when he was preparing to sell Umbrella's drones to Jiuzhou that he was unexpectedly blocked.
Not only were there various requirements and checkpoints, but his products were also classified as unqualified contraband and completely banned.
Later, after Li Fan made inquiries and investigations through various channels, he discovered that it was Jiuzhou's Moyu Group that had used their connections to block him.
It was only after Li Fan acquired artificial intelligence that he discovered that behind the Moyu Group was the Zhao clan, which had been entrenched in Jiuzhou for thousands of years.
Where there is prosperity, there must be decline. However, the Zhao clan defied this unchanging eternal principle.
The Zhao clan, which had never experienced decline, was like a sleeping dragon coiled in Jiuzhou for years, an extremely terrifying family.
However, Li Fan still approached them with a friendly attitude to negotiate. After all, business thrived on harmony.
But the attitude of the Moyu Group was extremely hostile, they openly turned him away and insulted Li Fan.
From that moment on, Li Fan had been holding onto this grudge.
He always repaid kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance.
Thus, Li Fan had been accumulating strength, intending to launch a thunderous blow against the Zhao clan.
He then had the artificial intelligence, Little White, collect data on the Zhao clan, constantly monitoring their movements in Jiuzhou.
After Li Fan gave his secretary a few instructions, he dismissed her.
"Little White, have you found out? What is the relationship between Dark Water Security Group and the Zhao clan?"
Li Fan suddenly asked.
A large white figure instantly appeared on the computer screen. Because of its small size within the computer, he called it Little White.
"Master, Dark Water Security Group has no direct relationship with the Zhao clan, but it is related to Zhao Yunhai, the future heir of the Zhao clan."
"Zhao Yunhai's mother, Qin Siwan, is the behind-the-scenes controller of Dark Water Security Group."
"The disturbances in some small countries are also almost all related to Dark Water Security Group."
Li Fan snorted upon hearing this, "As expected, people of the same ilk flock together. None of them are good."
On one occasion, when he was short of money and secretly sold some weapons, he was pursued by the Dark Water Security Group for a long time.
This was because the area where he sold the weapons was exclusively controlled by the Dark Water Security Group, and no one else was allowed to enter.
That time, he barely escaped with his life.
He tallied all these past grievances against the Zhao clan.
"If Zhao Yunhai hadn't come to Pretty Nation, I would never have known that the behind-the-scenes controller of Dark Water Security Group was Zhao Yunhai's mother."
With Little White's help, as soon as Zhao Yunhai arrived in Pretty Nation, he was immediately notified.
Little White also hacked into the surveillance system and captured some footage of Zhao Yunhai secretly meeting with Gabures at Dark Water Security Group.
If the meeting place had not been devoid of any surveillance devices, Li Fan would even have known what they discussed.
He then opened the Gate of Apocalypse and walked in fully armed.
As he stepped inside, the Gate of Apocalypse closed completely and vanished, as if it had never appeared.
He was constantly accumulating power. This time, he intended to acquire a batch of death row inmates to serve him.
In the brutal apocalyptic world, a little food could easily buy and sell a person.
As for loyalty?
That world had advanced slave chips that could control a person's life and death. Betrayal was not a concern.
Meanwhile, after Zhao Yunhai gave his orders, Gabures immediately paid to bribe a mid-level manager at Umbrella Corporation.
With the cooperation of this mid-level manager, Gabures successfully arranged for two special forces soldiers to join Umbrella Corporation's security department.
At the same time, Gabures secretly investigated Umbrella Corporation.
He discovered that this company was not keen on producing drones, but rather seemed idle, like an empty shell company.
Indeed, there was something wrong.
Gabures discovered that a target his group had previously pursued and failed to eliminate was Li Fan. What a coincidence.
At that time, because the pursuit failed, he hadn't dared to report it to the group.
He was afraid of being blamed by the chairman.
Now was the time to rectify this mistake, so he reported his findings to Young Master Yun, omitting this minor detail.
This minor detail could only be erased by killing Li Fan.
Zhao Yunhai immediately instructed Gabures to update Li Fan's whereabouts at all times and monitor him closely.
If he wanted to know the opponent's cheat, he would confront him directly. Then Zhao Yunhai would understand everything.
To this simple request, Gabures agreed without a second thought.
Zhao Yunhai had originally asked Wang Fan to divine Li Fan's location, but Wang Fan's divination had become blurry.
It seemed that Li Fan's protagonist's luck was even greater than Wang Fan's.
"Benefactor Wang, you seem to be losing your touch."
"Get lost, get lost, stop talking, and go eat your fried chicken over there."
Made uncomfortable by the innocent gaze of the young monk Wuchen, Wang Fan turned his back to him and began to study his turtle shell.
The divination had become blurry. Was it due to his insufficient divination skills?
Wang Fan stared at the turtle shell, lost in thought.
"Young Master Yun, my computer shows signs of being infiltrated."
Ah Er's expression suddenly became grave.
Ah Da and Ah San quickly walked over.
Zhao Yunhai glanced thoughtfully at the laptop and said calmly, "From now on, we will use the most primitive methods of communication. Abandon all electronic devices."
"Understood." Ah Er seemed to grasp the seriousness of the matter and quickly destroyed the laptop.
Being infiltrated without detection was in itself a grave issue.
Without hesitation, everyone present handed their mobile phones to Ah Da.
Zhao Yunhai looked at his own phone and crushed it without hesitation.
The one who infiltrated him was likely Li Fan. Therefore, from now on, he could not expose any of his movements to the other party.
"Find Gabures and have him find us a place with no electronic devices."
"Also, tell Gabures to be careful of being monitored by electronic devices."
Zhao Yunhai stood up, walked to the wine cabinet, picked out a bottle of fine wine, and poured himself a glass.
After taking a sip, a cold glint appeared in Zhao Yunhai's eyes.
A challenging protagonist. Good, worthy of serious attention.
