Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 299: Chapter 298 We Are Enemies

In the conference room, everyone was exchanging horrified glances, with some almost suffocating.

As everyone knows, once the entrance to Resurrection Island is opened, the world’s noble families, masters, and even mercenaries will not be able to resist heading there.

Such a powerful force, if not a gathering of all of Earth’s masters, almost represents the power of half the planet.

And once these people all die on Resurrection Island...

One can imagine that Earth will lose over eighty percent of its masters; all the family powers will be greatly diminished, and the whole world may have to reshuffle.

And as the dark hand behind the scenes, by then the East Atlantic Company would become the most powerful force on Earth!

The thought alone is exhilarating!

"But... what should we do?" Mei Chuannei’s eyes flashed with cold light, very excited, obviously very taken with the plan.

Not just Mei Chuannei, the other seven board members were also looking towards John Robert.

Indeed, if this plan really materializes, the East Atlantic Company could stand at the pinnacle of the world!

But if anything goes wrong, if the news leaks, it could bring endless calamity to the East Atlantic Company, and not one person in this conference room would survive.

This is a gamble, a gamble with rich rewards!

"Hehe."

John Robert looked disdainfully at everyone: "You think it’s very risky?"

Everyone was stunned. Wasn’t that stating the obvious?

Going against all of Earth’s noble families and masters, killing all that are not our kind—it’s unthinkable how many would have to die. Not to mention whether the company has that capability, even if it does, if one survivor leaks the information, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hmph, we can choose allies, we can use others to do our dirty work, let them find no fault with us. Moreover, we can seal the entrance after everyone goes in!" the more John Robert talked, the more smug he became.

The listeners grew more and more excited.

If that was truly the case, then this plan really could work!

"So, right now, we should also thank Lin Hao, hehe, let them go on, once they discover the secrets of the island, they’ll surely be unable to resist going deeper, and their venture deeper is our opportunity. At that time, as they die, the treasures of the island will also be ours. Hahaha!"

The plan was just too perfect, so perfect that John Robert wanted to laugh out loud, even wanting to embrace Lin Hao and kiss him three times.

"Remember, let him go to the island, withdraw most of our experts, ’for riches, men will kill; for food, birds will die.’ Once they’re up there, I don’t believe they won’t kill each other. Even if they don’t, the terrifying entities on the island will also inflict heavy casualties on them. Hehe, by then, we’ll be sitting back and reaping the profits..."

John Robert began to snigger.

A wave of sinister laughter resonated through the conference room.

Meanwhile, on Transshipment Island, at Skin Peeling Cliff.

The sea breeze was blowing, scattering the bloodstains wave by wave.

The jagged rocks, blown by the sea wind, were making a wooing noise, as if countless spirits were wailing by the sea.

The skinning was over; the bodies of Carter and Doug were already at the foot of the cliff, gnawed to nothing by the sea fish.

The crowd had dispersed as well, leaving behind the ominous and terrifying Skin Peeling Cliff, looking much like hell itself.

"I wonder how many people have died here; the stones are stained red with fresh blood, turned crimson."

Beneath the cliff, standing tall behind a huge rock, Lin Hao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant sea horizon.

"That’s true. But, after all, that is the nature of this world. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest."

A voice as melodious as a nightingale sounded from not far behind Lin Hao. It was the Huaxia youth from earlier.

The three Sky-breaking Experts from Huaxia were not present. In the entire Flaying Cliff, there were only the two of them.

"I have to say that I admire you. You almost went too far, nearly dying here." The Huaxia youth stopped not far behind Lin Hao, and those dark, shining eyes looked at Lin Hao with a depth like black holes, exuding an indescribable attraction.

"Didn’t I survive?"

Lin Hao smiled faintly, lifting his head to look at the sky.

This time, the risk was indeed too great. If it hadn’t been for Li Yuan and the others arriving just in time, he probably would have been killed by Nicholas.

"But you might not be so lucky next time. You, undeniably, are the top genius of our Cultivator World. Therefore, we hope you don’t encounter any problems. Our arrival in disguise was precisely to protect you." The youth smiled faintly, his handsome face suddenly rippling like the surface of a lake, his features twisting and changing.

Soon after, an incredibly beautiful face, one that would make any man’s heart flutter, appeared behind Lin Hao.

Indeed, the Huaxia Cultivators who came were led by Li Yuan in disguise, and the others were also high-ranking members of Dragon Needle.

This was a plan conceived by Lin Hao himself, risky but effective.

And Lin Hao had succeeded!

Li Yuan stood tall and proud, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Hao, speaking lightly, "The East Atlantic Company has just agreed to unconditionally open the entrance to Resurrection Island. Moreover, they are also hoping more people will go to Resurrection Island to hunt for treasures."

"Really? That was rather straightforward?" Lin Hao was surprised, and somewhat astonished.

"Of course, the whole world has demanded they open it up, and even the parliaments of the Eight Great Countries have pressured them, not to mention the Mercenaries Association. It’s fair to say that the East Atlantic Company is at odds with the whole world this time. How could they not yield?"

Li Yuan smiled lightly, clearly in a very good mood.

"But, even so, that was awfully quick." Lin Hao shook his head, his gaze turning toward the nearby coast where the heads of Carter and Doug, blurred with blood and flesh, were still hanging on ropes underneath the reefs.

Li Yuan didn’t find it strange at all and said with pride, "Because after learning of your plan, I suggested to Dragon Lord that we should spread all the information Dragon Needle has about Resurrection Island, letting everyone in the world know what kind of place Resurrection Island is."

"Wealth moves the heart." Lin Hao nodded, seemingly comprehending.

"Exactly, humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food. No one can resist the allure of everything that Resurrection Island offers. Therefore, all the major families pressured the parliament endlessly; they had to open the entrance."

Li Yuan took a couple of steps forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Lin Hao, "Now, Resurrection Island will become chaotic. Do you have any plans? We, Huaxia, must retrieve what rightfully belongs to us."

"Don’t worry." Lin Hao nodded and turned to walk away: "Leave everything to me."

"Good. I and Long Si will continue in disguise, entering Resurrection Island together with you. However, on Resurrection Island, all signals will be blocked, so be careful." Li Yuan turned her head to look at Lin Hao, concern flashing in her eyes.

Lin Hao stopped, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes.

Somehow, the East Atlantic Company’s easy concession to open the entrance felt strange to him.

"Don’t forget, we are still enemies."

After speaking, Lin Hao stepped forward and quickly disappeared from Flaying Cliff.
