"Finally, it's over. I can breathe a sigh of relief." As the summer vacation came to an end and the first day of school began, Yang Xiaoyou felt a slight ache in her back as she walked up the school's slope.
For her, the long and tragic summer vacation had finally come to an end.
Compared to this summer's 'break,' school life truly felt like a 'classroom.'
Unexpectedly, the last few days had not allowed her a moment of peace.
The relentless questioning and coercion had left Yang Xiaoyou feeling tearful.
Since Dream Butterfly's inner persona had submerged, it had not reappeared during this time, leaving many unresolved questions lingering in her mind.
However, the last time that entity revealed quite a bit was due to the influence of alcohol. After experiencing that once, Dream Butterfly seemed to have developed an aversion to such 'drinks,' making it difficult to find another opportunity like that.
If she were to appear with a clear mind, obtaining the information she sought would likely be quite challenging.
Although it seemed she bore no ill will towards Yang Xiaoyou, understanding what was truly on her mind or what plans she had remained completely elusive.
Having barely escaped from the organization, it seemed that during her time in Dubai, she still maintained some strange connection with it. Yang Xiaoyou had not forgotten what Dream Butterfly had said about her 'ideals' when they first met.
Now, thinking back on it gave her a chilling sensation.
"Why think so much? Since the main personality can maintain maximum suppression, then the situation hasn't reached such a dire level. However, after reaching the peak of mental strength, such a terrifying qualitative change can occur. This aspect indeed needs more emphasis; many times it might achieve effects that fleshly power could never reach." After some reflection, Yang Xiaoyou found herself yearning for that transcendent state.
Right now, she needed to carefully nurture her emotions to ensure that when it came time to act, she wouldn't lose control in a fit of rage. School provided the best environment for maintaining connections. Unfortunately, Dream Butterfly's foolishness still made her an idol; opportunities to seek guidance were rare.
"Oh no! The wonderful summer vacation has ended! My beach, my bikini beauties! I still want to follow in Dream Butterfly Sauce's footsteps and let her purify my soul."
Just as Yang Xiaoyou reached the slope and was about to enter the teaching building, she heard an incredibly irritating and disgusting voice at the entrance.
The most crucial part was that this repulsive voice was all too familiar to her.
Soon, Huang Wei appeared with a look of 'ecstasy' on his face, performing a 'dance' that made Yang Xiaoyou shudder with discomfort. He was reciting poetry while doing a sort of 'ballet' at the entrance of the building.
Not only Yang Xiaoyou and the average students, but even the few resilient friends kept a considerable distance from Huang Wei, pretending not to know him.
Faced with this situation, Yang Xiaoyou felt his aura become obscure, like a drop of water merging into the sea, 'drifting' along with some students entering the teaching building. He slipped in unnoticed by anyone.
Under non-combat circumstances, forced to utilize the characteristics of his aura to achieve his goal, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but admire the 'extraordinary' domineering strength of those troublesome friends.
"Uh, I think I just saw Yumeiren come up here. Where did she suddenly go? Was it an illusion?" muttered the chubby guy hiding nearby, glancing uneasily at Huang Wei, who was still lost in his 'lyrical' reminiscence of the past summer vacation.
"If it were me, I'd want to hide too. Let's hurry inside; Damn it, other students are looking at us strangely. I still want to find a girlfriend in my last year; I can't let this guy ruin it for me," said the tall and sturdy Fool, dragging the others along as they stealthily slipped away while Huang Wei was still engrossed.
Using his ethereal presence, like a ghost, Yang Xiaoyou managed to weave into the classroom and noticed that Liu Lianyue, who had been busy all summer, was already there.
She was adopting a slightly delicate demeanor, discussing some holiday 'funny stories' and cosmetics with several girls in the classroom.
Watching her fully immersed in conversation, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but criticize her acting skills again and thought about introducing her to Chen Wuyou for a shot at stardom; she would surely become an overnight sensation.
However, seeing her again made Yang Xiaoyou acknowledge her hard work. A summer filled with intense tasks had seemingly refined her like flames refining metal.
At this rate, combined with her mentor's guidance, if she could overcome her mental barriers, she might break through to the next level within the year.
Of course, most strong individuals who had touched this level often remained stuck at this stage for life or only gained insight when they grew old and weary.
"Um, excuse me for interrupting," said Liu Lianyue, who had been chatting with several girls while lightly covering her lips in a ladylike manner. She had now noticed Yang Xiaoyou entering.
She then bowed slightly in apology.
"It's fine, it's fine! Aside from having poor taste in friends, this fellow actually looks pretty good," teased a youthful girl named Lianli, causing laughter among the others nearby.
Facing such teasing, Liu Lianyue simply smiled naturally without offering any defense and gracefully approached Yang Xiaoyou, who was setting down his backpack.
"Well, recently we are in urgent need of high-end Force personnel. I wonder if we could collaborate with your company; the terms will definitely satisfy you." When Liu Lianyue approached Yang Xiaoyou, she simply greeted her before suddenly shifting the topic and lowering her voice.
Yang Xiaoyou was slightly taken aback by such words.
Then, Heart flashed through the current situation of the Red Dragon.
It seemed that the Radicals were indeed restless, and they already had a certain foundation. If they could really take over, the absorption speed would likely be very quick.
Moreover, for her faction, even if she couldn't succeed in obtaining it herself, she absolutely couldn't let the other factions gain it, especially the Tongtang Party Headquarters!
Before establishing a partnership with the Liang Family, Yang Xiaoyou was somewhat inclined to push them forward later, using their strength to embarrass the Tongtang Party Headquarters.
However, now there was another option.
Since they had taken the initiative to reach out, it clearly indicated that their current situation was not optimistic. Besides the issues with the Red Dragon, they might also be under some significant pressure and were in urgent need of assistance. In such circumstances, negotiations would be more likely to maximize benefits.
"Tsk, as you know, the Middle East and North Africa are quite chaotic lately. Our company's main forces are being reassigned, so let's discuss this further in the Activity Room; it's a bit unclear right now." Although she knew the other party was anxious, Yang Xiaoyou still chose to delay.
It was true that she had a good personal relationship with Liu Lianyue; however, personal ties were one thing, and her relationship with Liu's faction was another. If it weren't for the Tongtang Party Headquarters exacerbating tensions, she might even have some disdain for the Radicals. Even now, she wanted to persuade this fellow to leave that faction since it wouldn't benefit her growth.
When it came to her personal matters, sometimes providing help without compensation was fine. But if it was for her faction's interests, then it had to be handled formally; at most, she could ensure that she could help facilitate connections.
Hearing that Yang Xiaoyou's main forces were still in the most scrutinized area globally made Liu Lianyue feel somewhat anxious.
Ever since the strong ambush at Beach Villa last time, it seemed like headquarters had been inexplicably provoked recently.
A large number of experts had suddenly emerged.
In terms of sheer numbers compared to their own side, they were far from comparable; however, in terms of skill level, they completely suppressed their side.
Without a large-scale conflict breaking out, that type of team suitable for special operations had unleashed unprecedented combat power!
In the Chinese Empire, the atmosphere of martial arts was thick among the people. As the Radicals sought to enhance their presence and trendiness, they also put considerable effort into uncovering some skilled martial artists across the nation.
Despite their current reputation allowing them to cast a wide net, they managed to find only three experts at the Momentum Level, while there were just over twenty strong individuals who had reached the threshold of power.
With the foundation left by the Radicals, there were a total of five strong individuals at the Momentum Level.
Originally, their role was not to engage directly in battles but to serve as a form of deterrence and protection for key personnel against assassination attempts, as well as to carry out certain Special Missions.
However, since the conclusion of the Beach Villa Incident just a month ago, they faced significant losses against those clearly belonging to the Special Forces from headquarters.
Out of the five who reached the Momentum Level, one died and three were injured! The core group of strong individuals close to that level suffered over half their numbers!
Although this did not cause a major blow to the fundamental grassroots forces, it was evident that once the Radicals lost most of their personnel at this level, future operations would become entirely passive. Many actions involving intelligence gathering, assassination, and kidnapping would mostly be limited to defensive measures, unable to impose any corresponding deterrence on their opponents!
At such a time, given the allure of the vast market in the Chinese Empire, as long as their faction desired it, they would certainly not lack overseas partners. However, there was unanimous opposition within the faction regarding this point.
After much deliberation, the best partner turned out to be Beehive Ming, which had already established a foundation domestically. They required minimal concern regarding sensitive aspects and had a highly reputable security force globally.
