Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye-Chapter 372: Secretly Sneaking Back and Inquiring about Information Covertly
After saying goodbye to Susie, Luca left Shelter 102 covertly and at the fastest speed possible.
His purpose was simple, which was to create the illusion that he was still in the shelter.
When the enemies didn't know that he had already left the shelter, all of the enemies' attention would be focused on Shelter 102.
Naturally, he could then covertly gather information.
The first target location he was going to was the Imperial Capital.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
He needed to meet with Sky James, who was still staying in the Imperial Capital, in secret.
Sky James had once provided him with information about the covert salon in Dragon Gate Mountain.
So in his opinion, Sky James surely knew some information about other laboratories and branches of Zenith Company in Summer Country.
While he was taking action, the Imperial Capital had finally completed the clearance of the remaining monsters.
The high-ranking officials of Morning Star in the Eastern Territory, Western Territory, and Northern Territory met again.
The conflict between the Northern Territory and the Western Territory wasn't particularly obvious yet, so Drumph and the high-ranking officials of the Western Territory were still able to exchange pleasantries calmly.
However, the conflict between the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory had already been out in the open.
So when Drumph and Zovland met, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"It seems that the people from your Northern Territory aren't as outstanding as the legends say." Zovland directly started to sarcastically taunt Drumph after they met. "So many outstanding talents from the Northern Territory gathered together, yet they only cleared one urban area. We, the so-called 'inferior talents' from the Eastern Territory, cleared three urban areas."
"It's good that you know you're inferior talents." Drumph retorted without hesitation. "There wasn't even a single high-level monster in those three urban areas combined. You were probably just strolling around, right? But I can't really blame you. With your strength, you can't do much more than just stroll around."
Zovland was immediately enraged.
He stood up angrily and slapped the table in front of him heavily: "What did you say?! Say it again!"
"Fine, I'll say it again. The abilities of you people from the Eastern Territory are only good enough for being security guards!"
Zovland and Drumph were having a fierce exchange, and everyone was worried that the two of them would start fighting directly.
Behind Zovland, Mingmei had already prepared for a fight.
And naturally, Fuzzsir and Donlow behind Drumph had also made preparations for battle.
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. The Federation has just been established. As an important department of the Federation, Morning Star must maintain unity within."
An old man with gray hair walked out surrounded by the crowd.
He was Wang Mingzhao, the designated new general director of Morning Star after the establishment of the Federation.
Although Wang Mingzhao also had the surname Wang, he had no relation with the Ben family.
Before the monsters descended, he was already a high-ranking official in the military of Summer Country.
After the establishment of the Federation, he rose from being a high-ranking military official of Summer Country to become the general director of Morning Star.
According to the discussions among the high-ranking officials of the Federation, he will be responsible for expanding the scope of Morning Star's work to cover the entire Federation after this.
The reason for gathering the important members of Morning Star this time is to discuss this matter.
Both Zovland and Drumph quickly lowered their heads.
"Everyone is here. Let's start the meeting now. The crisis that the Imperial Capital encountered has little to do with us. From now on, Morning Star doesn't need to take the protection of important cities as its core task.
The core tasks of Morning Star from now on are to explore the nodes that are still connected to the Eternal World, as well as to deal with high-level monsters and the suddenly descending monster hordes. Our task scope is the entire Federation, that is, the whole world."
After Wang Mingzhao said these words, he began to distribute tasks in detail.
At the same time, in a building not far away, the important members of the Willow Family, Mingwhel Family, and James Family gathered together.
What they were going to discuss, of course, was the action plan after the Imperial Capital was attacked by a monster horde.
All three major families regarded Luca as a thorn in their side.
So, after they met, what they discussed most, of course, were matters related to Luca.
And just as the three major families were having their meeting, Luca also arrived in the Imperial Capital.
He first went to Sky James' secret villa in the Imperial Capital.
"I have something extremely important to discuss with your master. Hurry up and ask him to come out and meet me." he said directly to Sky James' butler when he saw him.
The butler knew Luca, and he said somewhat nervously.
"Master isn't at home. He has gone to attend an urgent family meeting."
"Oh, really? Where is the meeting being held?"
"I don't know. But master said he left some clues."
The butler handed a piece of paper to Luca.
There was a sentence written on the piece of paper.
[The powerful families gather. Idle people are not allowed to enter.]
After glancing at the content on the piece of paper, Luca directly activated the invisibility magic runes.
Turning into a black shadow, he quickly disappeared.
The discussion among the three major families reached the intermission.
The ordinary members of each family all fixed their eyes on their respective family heads.
Everyone knew that the communication among the three family heads next was really important.
As the most powerful family among the three major families, of course, the head of the Willow Family should be the first to speak.
Glennmountain stood up with a smile on his face and said slowly as he held a wine glass.
"Our various powerful families have all faced the threat from Luca. All of you have been trying every means to find his weaknesses. I guess none of you have made any progress, right? You haven't made progress because you've been looking in the wrong direction."
His tone suddenly turned cold.
"I don't want to blame any of you, but in my opinion, you are all good-for-nothings. I'm indeed very disappointed in you, but I hope you can feel ashamed and then strive for success."
Naturally, Glennmountain didn't say these words just to provoke everyone present.
He just hoped that the members of these various powerful families present could cooperate sincerely with his upcoming plan.
Cleanload certainly knew what Glennmountain's plan was, because it was he who provided the plan.
However, the head of the James Family, Hummer Nan, who was standing aside, had an unhappy expression on his face.
"I don't understand. What exactly do you want to say?"
"Since you've asked, I'll just tell you my plan then."
Glennmountain and Cleanload told the whole plan in one breath.
And just as they started to talk about their plan, Luca arrived outside the meeting venue.
Luca listened to their plan in detail.
"It seems that these fools have finally come up with a plan with a relatively high success rate. They finally realize that it's impossible to defeat me by force."
The three major families intended to use underhanded tricks to manipulate the power of the Federation to target Luca.
Such a plan was indeed something that the major families had never thought of before.
Luca couldn't help but sigh.
Under his pressure, the major families had finally started to use their wits.
However, this intelligence was also rather shallow.
In the situation where the Federation is facing such a huge threat, as long as Luca firmly stands on the side of the Federation, some of his extraordinary actions will not be cared about by the high-ranking officials of the Federation at all.
A powerful existence like him is someone that the high-ranking officials of the Federation must try to win over.
After listening to the whole plan, he waited somewhat boredly for Sky James to come out of the meeting venue.
He didn't plan to launch a direct attack on the meeting venue.
Because this would disrupt his plan.
The various major families must have close connections with Zenith Company.
Before digging out the information held by the major families, he must keep these people alive.
However, for the members of the major families, being alive may not necessarily be a good thing.
The clan leaders of the three major families in the meeting venue quickly reached an agreement.
Everyone thought that this plan was perfect.
They decided to directly raise objections at the high-level meeting of the Federation to be held in a week.
As long as they can persuade the high-ranking officials of the Federation to designate Luca as the enemy of the Federation, then they can easily achieve the plan of eliminating Luca.
Sky James, who had been listening in the meeting venue, hesitated slightly.
After all, he had already betrayed his family and was cooperating with Luca.
He still hoped that he and Luca could ultimately succeed.
But at the same time, he also thought that the possibility of this plan succeeding was very high.
In his state of indecision, the meeting came to an end.
He also left the meeting venue with the crowd.
Not far from leaving the meeting venue, a familiar voice suddenly came from the back seat of the car.
"It seems that the James Family can finally succeed in taking revenge on me."
The moment Sky James heard this sentence, he slammed on the brakes.
Luca's sudden appearance surprised him greatly.
Moreover, from the other person's words, he could tell that the other person already knew the specific plans of the various major families.
"Don't stop. Keep driving. If you stop here suddenly, it will arouse the suspicion of others."
Sky James composed himself and started the car again.
He secretly changed his final destination. Originally, he had planned to return to his luxurious villa in the city center of the Imperial Capital.
But with Luca already in his car, he felt that he should drive the car to his secret stronghold.
"Besides Dragon Gate Mountain, do you know any other branches or laboratories of Zenith Technology Company?"
In the darkness, a cold voice came from the back.
Sky James didn't give an immediate answer.
Due to being too nervous, his mind was completely blank at the moment.
"Don't try to lie. Lying will ruin the cooperation between you and me."
"I know! I will definitely not ruin our cooperation. I have clues about the locations of other laboratories of Zenith Technology Company, but I can't remember these clues for now. Please come with me to my secret stronghold."
Sky James said these words timidly and nervously.
There was no more sound coming from the back. Apparently, the other party had agreed to his plan.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, started the car at its highest speed, and sped towards the secret stronghold.
