Chapter 374: Chapter 245_2

"However, according to the reliable information I’ve received, the Golden Benba Bottle will be sent by the Lu Family to the International Shadow Auction tomorrow as one of the auction items."

"As for what the International Shadow Auction is all about, I believe you all have heard of it. Even I am quite wary of it; I doubt anyone wants to have a direct conflict with them."

"Opposing the noble families and the authorities, we could at worst go into hiding and flee to foreign lands where their reach doesn’t extend as far."

"But if we offend this international organization, it would be more than we can handle, and there’s likely nowhere in the world to find refuge from them."

At this point, the mysterious man paused briefly, then intensified his tone:

"Therefore, my thoughts are similar to yours; we must act before then, and tomorrow morning at nine o’clock is the deadline for this operation."

"Everyone is trapped in this situation now; if we continue to wait and see, relying on others to take the lead, it’ll only result in further stalemates and a waste of energy."

"In that case, why not join forces to break the current predicament and together deal with the Lu Family guards to resolve the most pressing issue?"

"As long as we can breach the defense and smoothly approach the Golden Benba Bottle, whoever gets the treasure first will be right in front of everyone’s eyes, clear as day."

"All teams can continue vying based on their skills. The entire operation is fair and transparent, chances equalized, there’s no need to blame anyone regardless of the outcome."

After the mysterious man finished speaking, his eyes sparkled, seemingly waiting for the group’s response.

"This... seems to make some sense..."

The strong man who had questioned earlier scratched his head, evidently much more lenient now.

The others also started whispering among themselves, with discussions growing louder.

The previously silent library Secret Realm seemed to explode like a pot being boiled, appearing chaotic.

Fang Cheng calmly observed the situation around him.

Lord Bao squinted slightly, leaned in, and whispered:

"This method sounds feasible, but it has significant loopholes; it’s impossible to make everyone act in unison."

Fang Cheng gently nodded:

"Let’s see how the others respond."

While speaking, he kept his gaze fixed on the mysterious man.

He felt the man’s voice was somewhat familiar, reminiscent of someone he’d met before, yet his appearance was entirely different, ordinary to the point of being indiscernible.

His suspicion deepened, as his gaze shifted to a young woman who silently accompanied him.

Upon careful scrutiny, aside from noticing her cunning gaze, she liked observing others, murmuring to herself, revealing no further clues.

Then someone sneered, speaking in a somewhat sarcastic tone:

"Sounds easy! Team up? Who knows if he’s trying to use us as cannon fodder, waiting until we’ve worn down the guards and Lu Family experts, then reaping the benefits."

The speaker was monkey-like in physique, with a sinister look in his eyes, none other than Ba Ming, Lord Bao’s rival.

"Exactly, we all want the treasure, but we’re not stupid enough to be sold and still help count the money."

Beside him, a man wearing a bandit-like mask echoed, shadowed allegory:

"This guy comes with unknown origins. What gives us reason to trust him? Is he expecting us to risk everything just based on his empty promises?"

The crowd agreed, raising voices of concern continuously.

Soon after, an elder stroked his beard, squinted at the mysterious man, and said:

"Young man, your idea might sound reasonable at first, but upon closer examination, there are quite a few loopholes."

"Even if we team up, how do we divide tasks and ensure coordination effectively? Each issue must be clearly addressed. If you can’t present a plan that convinces everyone, it’s unlikely to gain widespread acceptance."

The elder’s voice wasn’t loud yet struck key points, quieting the noisy crowd.

Indeed, everyone harbors their own interests; if people intentionally slow down during the attack, it’s no different from before.

Without ensuring collective action, the plan lacks practicality altogether.

So, all attendees’ focus again gathered on the mysterious man standing at the center of the room.

"I naturally understand the concerns of these friends."

Yet the mysterious man remained calm, first raising both hands and pressing down slightly.

This gesture seemed magical, causing the noisy chatter to vanish instantly.

Then he lifted his hands, drawing a frame, and a strange glow emerged from his palms.

The glow gradually spread, forming a white light screen resembling a television display, with images flickering within.

The crowd looked closely and found it was a detailed defense mapping inside the estate.

Not only were positions of each visible and hidden guard marked, but also relevant information on the Lu Family experts, including their abilities and usual activity ranges.

Even the specific location, security measures surrounding the Golden Benba Bottle were described.

The detail of the information was astonishingly remarkable.

"Please take a look, this is intelligence our team gathered through immense effort, enough to prove my sincerity."

The mysterious man spoke, his voice carrying a convincing calmness.

"With this intelligence, we can penetrate the defenses more smoothly at the time and head straight for the target in the underground vault."

"Since I’m willing to provide these details, I’m not afraid of verification. If I were double-minded, why conduct such labors that yield no benefits?"

With that, he waved his hands, the thin fingers like an artist plucking strings.

The white light screen transformed into countless pages, fluttering elegantly towards each attendee present.
