Chapter 80: Reward

Zhai Cai's pupils contracted sharply as if encountering a strong light, "How did you know!" His expression turned serious.

"Elder Fu told me. As for how he knew, you can ask him?" Zhang Yuanqing casually passed the buck to Fu Qingyang.

Zhai Cai stared at him intently for more than ten seconds, then resumed his cynical pose, "Tsk, as expected of the youngest person in charge in the history of the Five Elements Alliance, your methods are unpredictable. That's right, I do have a treasure map. One of the great legacies of the Knight is guarding the treasure map. I can't possibly betray my ancestors and share the treasure of the Holy See with outsiders."

Zhang Yuanqing ignored his words and said to himself, "Four holy disc fragments. One is in your hands, one is in Elder Fu's hands, and the other two are in the Old Burnt Maze and on the True Body of the Heavenly Lord of the Hunter Guild, respectively."

"If you agree to cooperate and share the treasure… I will help you obtain the fragment from the maze. You should know that even a Dominator would find it difficult to venture into the maze alone. The Five Elements Alliance will handle the Heavenly Lord fragment for you."

The fact that Zhai Cai was cooperating with Winnie and that the Old Burnt Maze contained holy disc fragments had already been mentioned by the Palace Master of Zhishen in a text message. As for information about Old Burnt, he had already paid You Xin from the Interests faction of the Merchant Guild for it on the way here.

Zhai Cai was silent. Zhang Yuanqing pressed on while the iron was hot, "The treasure of the Holy See contains a demigod-level item for the Knight profession. That item belongs to you. You will become the only Knight demigod in the world. Then no one will think you're an idiot for wearing mink in the hot weather."

Zhai Cai was finally tempted, "Deal."

Immediately, he reacted, "Wait, that's not right. You think I'm an idiot for wearing mink?"

"Not at all idiotic. I even think it's very handsome," Zhang Yuanqing replied with a joyful mood.

Having settled the Single-Lineage Knight, he looked at the Palace Master of Zhishen, "Palace Master, it's your turn."

The Palace Master of Zhishen pointed to her earpiece. Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "No need. Sharing suitable information is conducive to deepening cooperation."

The implication was to share information with the Single-Lineage Knight and Minister Winnie. Zhai Cai and Winnie immediately looked over. The Palace Master of Zhishen pondered for a few seconds, then sat up and said, "Minister Winnie, when did you learn about the Free Alliance?"

"After the Pluto incident!" Winnie replied.

In other words, before Pluto's biological father was killed, the Free Alliance was well hidden. Even Minister Winnie, the chief prosecutor, had never heard of it. For a century, they had been lurking all along. Although she didn't know why he mentioned this, Winnie nodded in cooperation.

"It's just a casual discussion. There's no need to be so serious," the Palace Master of Zhishen said. "Qianning Lu told me that he was able to lurk in Heaven's Wrath without being discovered because he had received Ling Tuo's secret protection. This made me realize that the Free Alliance didn't have a large-scale installation of spies or undetectable methods. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to ask Ling Tuo for help."

"Who is Ling Tuo?" the Single-Lineage Knight interjected.

"The leader of the Dark Night Rose, the demigod-level Night Wanderer, the son of the Taiyi Sect Master?" Zhang Yuanqing replied casually, and then saw Winnie and Zhai Cai reveal expressions as if their snacks had fallen on the floor.

"Although sharing information is beneficial to strengthening cooperation, shouldn't I be paid for such important information?" Zhai Cai took out a few coins from his pocket, using a shift in attention to calm his shocked emotions.

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand at the billionaire businessman who only offered this little, "Keep it for burgers and fried chicken. Palace Master, please continue."

The Palace Master of Zhishen nodded, "You should know that the Bright Compass more than twenty years ago was deliberately thrown out by the Free Alliance. The core fragment was obtained by the Happy Organization. Later, Ling Tuo, as a member of the Happy Organization, became a Fallen One and was promoted to a demigod. Since then, the Free Alliance has had the means to hide spies. Isn't all of this too coincidental?"

Zhang Yuanqing's expression changed, "Are you saying... that the Happy Organization's acquisition of the Compass fragment was orchestrated by the Free Alliance? Including Ling Tuo becoming a Fallen One was also within the Free Alliance's calculations?"

"That's impossible!" Zhang Yuanqing felt that the Palace Master's imagination was too wild. The Happy Organization had four peak Dominators and a Guild Master who was a demigod as allies. How could such a group be plotted against? Moreover, Ling Tuo fell because he came into contact with the core secrets of the Spirit Realm and was subjected to a mysterious curse.

All four members of the Happy Organization were contaminated. The Palace Master of Zhishen crossed her arms and said seriously, "Have you ever thought about why Ling Tuo was the only one who fell when all four were cursed? Shouldn't the one who has been sitting in the ancient temple for twenty years be more likely to fall?"

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. He opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't say anything.

Winnie was dumbfounded. What had she heard?

The Free Alliance directed the struggle for the Bright Compass, even directing the ownership of the Compass in a battle involving multiple demigods, successfully creating the only Lord of Taiyin. From then on, the Free Alliance had the means to hide spies.

Zhai Cai silently placed the coins on the coffee table, pushing one to the Palace Master of Zhishen and one to Zhang Yuanqing. After thinking for a few seconds, he thought the possibility was too low.

The Palace Master's guess was mostly based on imagination. Of course, even if it were true, it would only be knowing some inside information about past events, which would be of no benefit to the current situation.

What kind of layout ability is this?

The conversation between the Single-Lineage Knight and the Palace Master ended. He finally looked at Winnie, "Minister Winnie, Elder Fu also wants to make a deal with you."

"Is your Elder Fu a Merchant or a Scout?" Zhai Cai pricked up his ears.

Winnie nodded blankly, "What deal?"

"Did the Devil Lord give you a treasure map fragment?" Zhang Yuanqing finally asked the question he had been concerned about for a long time.

Winnie was silent, without answering.

Zhang Yuanqing thought that it was indeed on her. According to Winnie's personality... if the treasure fragment wasn't in her hands, she would have told him directly.

The silence at this time meant that she was unwilling to make the deal.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "We will be responsible for collecting the Devil Lord's treasure keys. One-sixth of the treasure will belong to you. Minister Winnie, you don't want the Devil Lord's things to be sealed in the Spirit Realm forever, do you?"

Winnie thought for a moment and said indifferently, "I can agree to this deal, but there is one condition: I want the Cat King Speaker."

"Cat King Speaker?" Zhang Yuanqing pretended not to know anything, "What Cat King Speaker?"

The Palace Master of Zhishen hypocritically explained, "The Cat King Speaker is a prop of the Devil Lord. Its last owner was Yuan Shi Tian Zun, but unfortunately, Yuan Shi Tian Zun did not leave the Cat King Speaker behind. That prop returned to the Spirit Realm with him."

Winnie had already received this answer from Asano Ryo. Now, hearing the Palace Master of Zhishen mention it again, she felt a huge disappointment in her heart.

She frowned, "How did you know?"

The Palace Master said, "My Spirit Realm ID is Palace Master of Zhishen. As long as you've heard of me, you should know my relationship with Yuan Shi Tian Zun."

Winnie obviously knew the ID of the Palace Master of Zhishen and immediately fell silent.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly asked, "Minister Winnie, why are you so persistent about that speaker?"

"The Devil Lord has a habit of recording audio. He records his dungeon guides, action plans, and life details into audio," Winnie's voice was filled with sadness. "He couldn't possibly not have recorded audio in that battle when he returned to the Spirit Realm. I want to know if he left any backup plans. Is he really back in the Spirit Realm?" Winnie didn't say anything more.

Zhai Cai shrugged, "Didn't Yuan Shi Tian Zun inherit the Devil Lord's character card? Since the birth of the Spirit Realm, no Spirit Wanderer has been able to strip off a character card. Once stripped off, it means death."

Of course, Winnie knew such a simple truth. Her persistence in the Cat King Speaker was essentially because she couldn't let go of that unfaithful man.

That's too much. Say less things that pierce people's hearts, or you'll get beaten up... Zhang Yuanqing thought. Winnie's words made sense. With the Devil Lord's character, he must have recorded audio before the final battle with the Ghost Eye Judge. Although the Cat King Speaker was very stubborn and might not be willing to play it for him, as long as he controlled this prop, he would one day be able to hear it.

"So, Elder Fu's deal?" Zhang Yuanqing probed.

"I'll think about it," Winnie didn't agree or refuse.

Before dawn, Sean Meade hurriedly returned and conferred with Winnie behind closed doors for a while. Before leaving, Winnie handed Qianning's body over to Sean, and then, under the escort of the Single-Lineage Knight, left the Heaven's Wrath Branch and went to her grandfather Old Burnt's villa.

Today, the number of props and the combat power of his teammates are increasing, and they are already a force to be reckoned with. As assistants, they are fully qualified.

Zhang Yuanqing also shares his gains and merits with his teammates.

If the holy ones in the aid team join forces, it is not difficult to capture and kill a peak holy one.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the New York County Branch released a notice about the port battle at the Heaven's Wrath forum, claiming that under the wise leadership of the Chief Executive Officer Sean Meade and Chief Prosecutor Winnie Burnt, the orderly organization of New York Port had a world-shaking battle with the evil faction involving many Dominators. In this battle, the two chiefs brought out Qianning Lu, an evil faction spy hidden within the organization, and thwarted the Free Alliance's conspiracy.

In this battle, Ju Mang, a holy one from the Second District, killed Tifos and killed the Jealousy God General and Dream Eater, peak holy ones from the Second District, leading the holy ones of New York County in a beautiful holy war.

This announcement shocked the entire Heaven's Wrath and the entire Western Spirit Wanderer world.

The announcement was lengthy, with more than two thousand words in total. Qianning Lu, an eighth-level Dominator, was an evil faction spy. The legendary holy one Tifos, who had dominated the West for ten years, returned to the Spirit Realm.

Overnight, nearly ten peak holy ones died, and the factional conflict escalated, possibly leading to a Dominator war.

Although the Spirit Wanderers of the Heaven's Wrath branches could not participate in the New York County factional conflict due to work, they were paying attention to this battle every day.

Every event was a major event that could make headlines. Most orderly Spirit Wanderers have a strong sense of factional belonging and honor. Ju Mang, who has repeatedly made military exploits in New York County, has become a hero in the eyes of Heaven's Wrath Wanderers.

At this moment, the hero in everyone's eyes is sitting at the table in the conference room, receiving Sean's award.

"Your performance at the port was very good. I have verified and confirmed the combat report you submitted with Summer and others, and there are no problems!" Sean Meade's tone was rarely gentle. He picked up the tablet computer at hand and pushed it to Zhang Yuanqing, saying, "The headquarters intends to reward you with three saint-quality props, ten million federal coins, and spiritually rich materials worth thirty million. Here is the list. Choose from the federal list."

Zhang Yuanqing secretly rubbed his little hands, took the computer and glanced at it, then quickly pushed the tablet computer back.

"Executive Officer Sean...

I am not satisfied with Heaven's Wrath's reward."

Although the things on the list are precious, they don't excite him. Saint-quality props are no longer meaningful to him, unless they are of extreme quality.

He clearly saw in the stargazing that he was about to receive a "treasure." Sean Meade, who was in a great mood, nodded, "What kind of reward do you want to receive?"

"At least a top-grade prop in the Saint stage, or a Dominator-level prop! If my merits are not enough... I can make up for it myself," Zhang Yuanqing said.

Ju Mang's achievements are more than enough to抵 (dǐ, compensate) for a top-grade prop, but Heaven's Wrath will not take out the precious top-grade props on its own initiative. If it can be solved with money, it will definitely not use props. If it can be perfunctory with ordinary props, it will never give top-grade props.

Sean Meade nodded, "I will convey your request to headquarters, but I cannot guarantee that headquarters will accept it."

Zhang Yuanqing expressed his gratitude and got up to leave the conference room. He believed that Heaven's Wrath Headquarters would definitely satisfy him in order to show the clear reward and punishment system of the world's leading orderly force.

Of course, if they don't agree, he will post on the Heaven's Wrath forum to accuse them, using public opinion to force the Heaven's Wrath high-level officials to compromise.

After leaving the conference room, Zhang Yuanqing quietly left the bank building, took the subway to Queens, and turned on his spare mobile phone. As expected, he received a text message from Catherine.

The mission failed. As an ineffective subordinate, he has to give his superiors an explanation anyway, write a report, and endure the other party's reprimand.

But the content of the text message made him feel something was wrong. Catherine asked him to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon. Cocktail's successful escape was intentional on his part. Otherwise, the main body chased and killed the Star Official, and the Heavenly Lord chased and killed Cocktail. None of the evil faction's peak holy ones could escape.

But in that case, it doesn't make sense that his teammates were all wiped out and the Heavenly Lord survived alone. Cocktail surviving is actually beneficial to the Heavenly Lord, as this Disordered person will tell the killers in the evil faction how powerful Ju Mang really is.

Defeat is due to the difference in strength and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Lord.

Now that the battle is over and the responsibility is not on him, if the superior has a high EQ, a phone call to comfort him can be a good way to win people's hearts. If the EQ is low, a scolding is fine, but there is no need to meet, there is no reason.

Unless Catherine is in an extremely bad mood and wants to use his little black stick to vent her anger, poor Heavenly Lord, Zhang Yuanqing licked his lips.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, just after the lunch break, he received a message from the Execution Department that Executive Officer Sean wanted to see him.

Zhang Yuanqing knocked on the door of the Chief Executive Officer and saw Sean, whose cheeks were thin and whose corners were slightly frosted.

"Headquarters has agreed to your request!" Sean Meade smiled slightly and pointed to the tablet computer in the corner of the table.

"Choose for yourself!"

Heaven's Wrath is indeed rich and generous... Zhang Yuanqing was refreshed. He opened the tablet computer, which contained the item attributes of six props.

Zhang Yuanqing was immediately attracted by the item attributes of one of the props.

[Introduction: It is a prop forged from the core of lightning collected by an indescribable existence, and has excellent defensive power.]
