Sheng Cheng was indulging in the excitement of being in contact with his lord, not realizing that even if he had destroyed the surveillance, there was still an existence called the system, secretly cowering in the corner recording his every move.
"My lord, there's a person called Ya Bu in the organization. He's the one who ruined my plan. If it wasn't for him, I would have killed Soren and managed to get away!"
Sheng Cheng was worried that his lord would shut down the communication. He hurriedly said what he was most worried and irritated about, "That guy should be an undercover agent of the Sixth Base. The organization most likely can't be saved anymore."
[I understand, Sheng Cheng. Don't worry.]
The voice was like a spring breeze brushing against his ear, gentle and affectionate as if he was murmuring softly to appease his lover.
[Ya Bu? I will kill him to avenge you.]
The careless words revealed his power.
Sheng Cheng was touched by his words. He clenched his fists, his body heated up, trembling with excitement, yet he had to remind his lord, "That Ya Bu is ridiculously strong, perhaps even Qin Qi's adjutant Soren can't compare to him. Your lordship has to be more careful."
The sound of footsteps came from outside the basement door.
Obviously, the officers guarding the surveillance have already noticed something wrong on his side.
Sheng Cheng immediately shut his mouth, and his lord's side also cut off the contact. He shrank in the corner of the basement, looking at the door of the room that let out a hint of light, his eyes dark with a little bit of pleasure.
The lord will avenge himself, these bastards must die!
Soon, the closed door of the basement opened up to allow a person to enter and exit. Officers with weapons came in one after another from outside the door to check the surveillance and the rest of the basement. Among them, two of them walked up to Sheng Cheng's side and pointed their guns at him.
"What did you do?"
The cold muzzles of the guns were pointed threateningly at Sheng Cheng's face, showing no concern for their former companionship. From the moment Sheng Cheng was imprisoned, he and the entire Sixth Base were in a hostile relationship.
"I didn't do anything."
Sheng Cheng suppressed the killing intent in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be disheveled and fragile, curled up in the corner, looking very pitiful.
He must not be in a hurry. He must be patient.
He had to find a chance to secretly push everything onto Marshal Delbo.
On the other side, Ya Xiao had also watched all of the videos that Fourth Uncle had passed over.
Thinking that Sheng Cheng had already mentioned the name of his Great Demon form to a certain being, Ya Xiao raised an eyebrow and pointed at Sheng Cheng on the screen:
"Fourth Uncle, if he reminded that lord to be careful of Ya Bu, does that mean that existence will find a way to deal with me?"
[Very likely.]
The system observed Sheng Cheng's reaction and felt that in all likelihood that lord would retaliate against Ya Bu, at least from Sheng Cheng's point of view. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so agitated and excited.

[Host, Sheng Cheng said earlier, 'Everything I did was instructed by Marshal Delbo', it's obvious that that being should be instructing Sheng Cheng to spread false news, what should we do?]
"Huh? What to do?"
Ya Xiao was a bit bewildered, and only after a few seconds did he realize that Fourth Uncle was asking what he should do to clear up Marshal Delbo's misunderstanding.
"Fourth Uncle, it's not like Delbo has anything to do with us, why should we help him clarify the truth?"
System: ......
It seemed right.
The other party was different from Adjutant Soren.
After Ya Xiao came to the central city, he only followed behind Qin Qi and met with Delbo a few times. They didn't even talk, so they weren't familiar with each other at all.
Even in the plot, Delbo only showed up a few times. Ya Xiao's impression of this marshal was not as deep as that of Lu Chuanxi from the Eighth Base, so naturally, he would not want to do something troublesome for the other party.
Furthermore, he had no evidence to prove that what Sheng Cheng said was true. The video recorded by Fourth Uncle barely counted as one, but it was not good at all to explain to people how the video came about.
Feeling Fourth Uncle's inner tangle, Ya Xiao arched his eyebrows, "Fourth Uncle doesn't need to worry, the villain is very smart."
"If Delbo is really innocent, Qin Qi definitely won't easily believe Sheng Cheng's bullshit."
[Okay.]
The system was convinced and didn't think much more, [Host, are you still going to the organization tonight?]
"Go."
Ya Xiao nodded and said as he opened the mall panel, intending to repurchase a Great Demon Experience Voucher, "In the morning, I heard from Ariel's side that they should have already learned of Sheng Cheng's news. I wonder what the organization is planning to do next."
Ya Bu's optical brain hadn't moved until now.
Ya Xiao was not sure for the time being if the legendary lord had already told the organization about Ya Bu and if he had decided what to do about Ya Bu.
This could be too interesting. Ya Xiao couldn't wait to stand up. He was eager to meet that lord for a while.
"Let's go Fourth Uncle!"
Ya Xiao's blue eyes lit up as he leapt to his feet.
[Okay, host.]
â Inside the club
The intense and exuberant music was deafening. As usual, men and women swayed on the dance floor in an extravagance of lights. Contrary to the above, the basement was terribly quiet, and people were on edge.
Even though the group of them had already prepared to sacrifice their lives, who would have thought that the danger would come so suddenly?
"Has it been confirmed?"
"Of course, that supporter definitely came to the organization before he was captured."
"What are you two talking about?"
The two who were whispering within the corridor, heard this voice and their hearts thumped. They immediately stood up straight to face Kunge and quickly shook their heads:
"No, nothing!"
Kunge was usually as listless as someone who had gone through a thousand sails, minding his own business, and had a good relationship with everyone in the organization, but once he frowned, almost no one dared to say anything.
"Don't spread rumors that shouldn't be spread."
Kunge held a cigarette in his mouth and said with intent.
"Sorry, we definitely won't do it again!"
The two of them hurriedly swore and admitted their mistake again, their necks straining, their bodies stiffening, and cold sweat breaking out on their backs nervously.
After seeing Kunge nod his head and wave his hand without further comment, the two bowed and left the place without looking back as if fleeing for their lives.
Standing alone within the corridor, Kunge stubbed out his cigarette and exhaled the last puff of smoke rings from his mouth, his face somewhat gloomy.
The news had traveled faster than he had imagined.
The organization was not necessarily really exposed, but if the top did not give an accurate message as soon as possible, the disorganization of people's hearts underneath was not a joke.
"Kunge, what happened?"
A crisp male voice sounded behind him, and Kunge was startled. Seeing that it was the new Ya Bu who had joined a few days ago, he settled down and said perfunctorily, "Nothing, you don't have to worry about it."
Kunge was Sheldor's subordinate, and his status in the organization was not low. If the news about "Ya Bu" spread, he would know it very early.
But now, Kunge's attitude towards Ya Bu was the same as usual, so it seemed that the news hadn't gotten down yet.
Ya Xiao's blue eyes curved slightly. Then, he was still a member of the organization.
The sense of 'responsibility' belonging to the organization slowly rose, and Ya Xiao was content to test the organization's next plan:
"Is it really alright? Kunge, I heard from the others that Sheng Cheng was caught and the organization is at risk of being exposed?"
"And who did you hear that from?"
Kunge's face sank. The others were only guessing that a fellow member of the organization had been caught, but Ya Bu had directly named him.
Where did Ya Bu know such details? Kunge looked critically at the youth in front of him.
"Helring."
The young man didn't hesitate to push Helring out. Of course, it was true that Helring had told him that. Ya Xiao wouldn't leave anything to chance if he wanted to test Kunge.
Kunge withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and nodded knowingly.
Helring and Ya Bu were of similar age. The two of them had a good relationship and had jointly executed the plan to kill Sheng Cheng. Even if Helring did not directly tell Ya Bu about this matter, as long as he revealed just a few words, it would not be difficult to guess the truth of the matter based on Ya Bu's cleverness.
Kunge scratched his hair in annoyance as he thought of this, "Don't tell anyone about this matter, and don't reveal a single bit of information to anyone else."
"Okay."
Ya Bu's blue eyes widened slightly as if he finally realized that the matter was true. He hesitated and acted a bit scared, "If the organization is really exposed, what should we do? Is the organization going to change its stronghold?"
"Wait for the notification from above."
Kunge reached into the pocket of his white coat with one hand and pulled out a cigarette from it, his expression a little anxious. Before he could light it, the optical brain suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Sheldor.
Kunge was a little surprised. Half an hour ago, the top brass of the organization had gone forward for a meeting. Sheldor had also attended, and now the meeting was over?
"I have to leave first."
Kunge put the cigarette back in his pocket and stopped after a few steps, turning his head to warn the youth once again, "Never mention this to anyone."
Ya Bu put his left hand on the corner of his mouth and crossed it from right to left, making a zipper movement, his blue eyes with a smile, acting sincere.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Kunge was half convinced by this. Since he was in a hurry to get to Sheldor, he hmmed, said nothng else, and left the corridor straight away.
Ya Xiao looked at the back of the man in the white coat and silently summoned his elder.
[Fourth Uncle, please.]
[Leave it to me!]
The system immediately followed.
Ya Xiao cheered his Fourth Uncle in his heart. After standing in place for a few seconds, he turned his feet intending to go to find Helring.
He didn't know many people in this organization. Other than Sheldor, Kunge, and the arrested Sheng Cheng, there was only Helring.
Demons were big on promises.
Since he had promised Kunge not to tell anyone else, Ya Xiao naturally wouldn't reveal any information.
But Helring was different, Helring admired that lord and knew more than he did, so talking to him wasn't considered breaking a promise.
Ya Xiao's tail hidden gave a small flick, thinking that Helring should be very willing to tell himself the news of that existence.
