“Lu Shu has kidnapped Coral,” said s.h.i.+ Xuejin as he ate a green onion pancake.

Nie Ting did not speak.

“I said… Lu Shu has kidnapped Coral.” s.h.i.+ Xuejin repeated himself.

Nie Ting expressionlessly turned around to look at him. “I know, but could you not talk to me while eating green onions?”

“You look down on green onions,” said s.h.i.+ Xuejin.

“I don’t look down on green onions. I look down on the you, eating green onions.” Nie Ting said, “Where do you think Lu Shu will bring Coral?”

Nie Ting’s original plan was very clear. With so many organizations from Europe gathered in Sardinia to compete over something, it was only a matter of time before a fight broke out. This would weaken the power of European Pract.i.tioner organizations who held large influence across the continent.

He did not plan this. He was just an observer who was glad to see this happen. This were his limitations as the boss of the Heavenly Network.

s.h.i.+ Xuejin sighed with emotion. “This is the soul-stirring love that I’ve seen in the past few years. An earth-shaking conflict will break out in Europe, with people being hunted down and running away. And the source of all this conflict was simply love.”

“Are you sure that the two of them know what love is? Leaving Coral aside, do you really think Lu Shu would think about love? I doubt that he has even understood love,” said Nie Ting in disdain.

“But I feel that love is ignorant,” said s.h.i.+ Xuejin as he laughed. “How many people in the world actually know what love is? In their ignorance, they mysteriously did their best even without knowing why or what the other party could give them. This is love. Am I wrong?”

“You have made love sacred,” said Nie Ting calmly. “Let Chen Baili know and make him to go to Europe. He must bring Lu Shu back safely. He is very useful to the Heavenly Network.”

“If you want to save people, then so be it.” s.h.i.+ Xuejin started to laugh loudly. “There’s no need to find any excuse. But I feel that if Chen Baili rashly attacks ordinary Metahumans, it will not turn out well. Let him stop that Bishop. I feel that as long as the Bishop doesn’t make a move, Lu Shu will not die.”

They had known each other for more than 30 years. They understood each other the best. Nie Ting was just worried about Lu Shu.

Nie Ting could not stand it. “Me? Worried about him? I just feel that the Heavenly Network needs people like him.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” s.h.i.+ Xuejin laughed. “I think so too. Lu Shu can endure even Russia’s winter on the battlefield. Oh yes, what do we do about Chen Zuan, Cao Qingci and the rest?”

Nie Ting suddenly rubbed his temples. “I just remembered about them…”

“Furthermore, this has become Lu Shu’s personal problem. Is it appropriate to send out Chen Baili?”

Chen Baili, who was away training, was about to fly to Europe to provide support after receiving the notice. But at that moment, an uninvited guest came to his courtyard.

Chen Baili looked at the girl in front of him. She wore a white s.h.i.+rt and a black suit. She seemed very delicate. Who would think that she was the Puppet Master who had shaken the world?

Chen Baili calmly said, “Young lady, have you come to find me?”

Cloud Yi laughed. “You should know who I am. To be honest, I did not expect you all to find me so quickly. Could you tell me how you did it?”

“The process is not important. What is important is the result. What, are you here to stop me?” Chen Baili asked in a dignified tone.

“It is already chaotic enough over at Europe. So I would like to ask the Heavenly Network not to intervene. If a conflict really happens, this world may even be destroyed by you,” Cloud Yi said with a smile.

“Destruction would only affect us humans. What does it have to do with the Puppet Masters?” Chen Baili was not in a good mood. Why did the Puppet Master suddenly want to protect the world? The Golden Foundation had not wanted to deal with the Puppet Masters for so many years. Since when was there an overlap in their interests?

Cloud Yi shook her head. “This world is for my King to return to. This entire world belongs to my King. I cannot allow you to destroy it. We are enemies till death, but once I take action, I am afraid that you will not be able to stop me. You decide.”

Chen Baili laughed coldly. “Let’s fight before talking it out.”

“No need.” Cloud Yi shook her head. “Even if I kill you, my King will only lose one of his subjects. In the end, my King will still suffer losses. But you do not have to worry. I will ensure that the Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory will not partic.i.p.ate in the conflict. This way, it will be equal.

After she finished speaking, Cloud Yi rushed up into the sky. After a long pause, Chen Baili rushed out as well. To be honest, he did not quite understand the Puppet Master’s train of thought and distorted logic. She was protecting the world as well, but she was just protecting the world for her King.

This was a very strange feeling.

Nonetheless, the prestige of the Heavenly Network could not be provoked.

At that moment, Tiger Zhi floated in mid-air above a city in southern Sardinia. He was clad in black robes. The iron-clad puppet stood silently beside him like a great mountain.

The Bishop was opposite him. His expression darkened. “Are you taking the Department of Faith Theory as your enemy?”

Tiger Zhi laughed. “No, no, no. I am just allowing you to recover in this city. This world is too weak. If you all would like to fight before my King returned, please go to the remains to fight.”

“Why don’t we join hands?” The Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory suddenly laughed. “I know that the Puppet Master is not alone. If we work together, this world will not be difficult to handle.”

Tiger Zhi was silent for a moment. Then he laughed. “You are not suitable.”

The voice sounded from the shadows of the robes. One could sense the gloom and power from the voice. Grey clouds gathered and a.s.saulted the entire Sardinia and northern Italy with heavy rain.

There were a few billion adults on earth, but the two Puppet Masters were very powerful. It was as if all the organizations in the world combined had no way of defeating them.

The Heavenly Network could defeat them, but they had their weak spots. On the other hand, the Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory did not have the courage to provoke two experts just after facing the Saint.

The world had always been tumultuous. When one stepped into the rat race, they were destined to not be able to do whatever they pleased, unless they were the first person to advance to a level greater than Cla.s.s A. Then they would be able to enjoy the view.

But the difference was that, after Cloud Yi rose into the sky, Chen Baili chased after her and fought her. When the civilians in Nancang saw what was happening, they were terrified. On the other hand, the Bishop from the Department of Faith Theory slowly retreated to the city in southern Sardinia and did not make a move. The disparity was obvious.
