Chapter 102 Inviting Experts!
"Brother Yu, having Sister Bao'er impersonate King Nathan was probably King Nathan's idea from the beginning. Why did she do it?"
After the meeting, Zhang Chulan went to Lin Yu to ask him why.
"There are two ways to select King Nathan. First, after the death of the previous king, the divine tree selects from the newborns on the island. Second, it is done through a voluntary challenge. Anyone who breaks a branch of the divine tree can get this opportunity, and then kill the original king by any means to become the new king."
"Someone broke a branch of the sacred tree, so King Nathan used this method to avoid potential assassins? Then why did she even come out in the first place? Wouldn't it have been safer for her to stay on the island?"
Zhang Chulan immediately guessed the reason.
"Nathan Island had an agreement with all parties that the change of the throne could not be carried out privately, so King Nathan had to come forward, which was also the best opportunity for the assassin."
"Is that so? Then I'll go and keep watch over Sister Bao'er."
Although he didn't believe anyone could hurt Bao'er under such tight company protection, Zhang Chulan decided to stay nearby tonight just in case, just to be on the safe side.
That night, Feng Baobao was still assassinated. The assassin used a rather special secret technique, turning his own consciousness into a shadow, which passed through the heavy guards and assassinated Feng Baobao. An ordinary person might have been killed by such a strange method, but Feng Baobao was not an ordinary person. Her senses were extremely sharp, and she noticed the movement of the shadow.
For an ordinary person with supernatural abilities, even if they noticed this abnormal situation, it would be difficult to avoid it immediately because they need time to react. But Feng Baobao is different. She doesn't think about what the situation is or whether she is seeing things. When she notices an abnormal state, she only avoids it immediately.
Therefore, although the Shadow Assassin's attack was very stealthy, Feng Baobao still managed to dodge it.
This secret technique of turning into a shadow is quite powerful at first sight, but if the first attack fails, it becomes much more difficult to succeed again. Moreover, Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Spell and Thunder Magic are extremely effective against this kind of sinister technique, easily driving away the shadow assassin. The shadow assassin, who had returned to his original form, unfortunately encountered the temporary worker Xiao Zizai and was subsequently arrested.
Although the Shadow Assassin was arrested, no useful information was obtained from him, because he too had been threatened.
His wife and children were kidnapped, and he had no choice but to obey orders to assassinate King Nathan. He knew nothing about the mastermind behind it all.
Then the real King Nathan came out, explained the whole story, and announced that Nathan Island would be open to the public during this period before leaving.
Before leaving, Nathan Vieille told Zhang Chulan some information, which made Zhang Chulan want to go to Nathan Island.
The day after King Nathan left, Lin Yu invited some acquaintances to the company, preparing to invite them to go to Nathan Island together.
Behemoth Corporation is indeed very powerful, so Lin Yu is preparing to strengthen his own forces.
Lin Yu didn't know many people; they were mostly younger members of the supernatural world. Among them, only Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Zhuge Qing, and Wang Ye were qualified to go to Nathan Island.
These four extraordinary individuals, though younger and less skilled, each possess unique abilities and are no less powerful than the older generation of masters, making them top-tier fighters.
Those who weren't from the younger generation were just a few temporary workers. Needless to say, their strength was top-notch, not much worse than the Ten Elders.
"Everyone, have you finished reviewing the materials?"
As soon as they entered, Lin Yu handed each of them a document containing information about Nathan Island and Behemoth Company.
"You summoned us here and showed us this document, what exactly is it about?"
The clarinet speaker was the first to speak.
"As you can see, Nathan Island is open for a short period of time because someone wants to compete for the position of King Nathan. This is not an internal power struggle, but because someone outside wants the sacred tree of Nathan Island, so they are causing all this trouble."
"I think you've already guessed it. The one causing trouble is Behemoth Corporation, or more precisely, Ron, a director of Behemoth Corporation. He wants to obtain the Divine Tree to create more Inhumans and increase his influence in his family and company. The reason I've brought you here is to go to Nathan Island together and help the people of Nathan Island resist Behemoth Corporation."
"Is this the company's intention?"
"No, this is my own decision. The company will not issue direct orders; everything is up to your own wishes."
"Behemoth Corporation is no ordinary company. Do you think we, just a few of us, can stand against them?"
Wang Zhenqiu, holding Behemoth's company documents, asked his questions.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Zhenqiu would definitely refuse such an invitation, because it would be too dangerous, and their relationship wasn't that good.
However, this invitation was clearly not simple. They were summoned here as temporary workers, and the company's attitude was very clear. This invitation was not a genuine personal invitation, and therefore could not be refused at will. The company already had objections to the temporary worker system, so they had to carefully consider this kind of invitation that carried the company's attitude.
"Behemoth Corporation is indeed powerful, but they also have many rivals. No force is willing to sit idly by and watch Behemoth Corporation swallow up Nathan Island and grow stronger. Nathan Island is already quite powerful. As long as we can unite, defeating Behemoth Corporation shouldn't be too difficult."
In the original story, Behemoth Corporation wasn't overwhelmingly powerful. If we add these other forces, the chances of defeating Behemoth Corporation would be much greater.
"In that case, I have no objection; I'm willing to join."
Wang Zhenqiu agreed to join, and the other temporary workers did not refuse either. This task was actually quite to their liking. Although it was a bit dangerous, temporary workers had plenty of dangerous tasks to do, so they didn't need another one.
"Master Wang, True Man Lingyu, and Brother Zhuge, what are your choices?"
Having settled things with the temporary workers, Lin Yu looked to the other side, at Wang Ye and his group.
Even if Lin Yu didn't invite Zhang Chulan, he would still go, because there is a master of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques on Nason Island. As for Wang Ye and the others, it's hard to say. After all, they are different from the temporary workers; it's possible for them to go or not.
"Oh dear, I would like to go and help the innocent Nathan Island, but I am neither as powerful as some of the seniors, nor do I possess the extraordinary skills of Master Wang and Master Lingyu. I'm afraid I would only be a hindrance if I went!"
The group seemed to be pondering whether to go or not. Zhuge Qing spoke first, neither agreeing nor refusing outright. Instead, he adopted a sullen and aloof manner, saying that he was weak and lacked any special skills, and would be a burden.
But the problem is, Lin Yu remembers that Zhuge Qing has already mastered the Samadhi True Fire, which is not much inferior to the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, plus the Divine Hundred Refinements he obtained in Biyou Village. Which one of them is not a divine skill? Is he just asking for benefits?
