Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379: Chapter 544: A Stone's Throw Away Chapter 1379: Chapter 544: A Stone's Throw Away Yan Fei was merely skeptical of the secret manipulator's boast when the latter immediately demonstrated a terrifying ability before his eyes–like magic, a huge villa was erased along with all the people and things inside it.

Upon witnessing this inconceivable scene, Yan Fei swallowed his saliva with some difficulty and said, “Are you trying to intimidate me?”

The man in black, capable of erasing villas and people in the city area of Los Angeles at will, could certainly do the same to the buildings on Dream Island. Not even the people on Dream Island could escape his erasure. The demonstration of this ability sent a very strong deterrent message to Yan Fei.

The man in black said, “Yan Fei, you are mistaken. I'm not intimidating you but helping you. You'll understand it before long.”

Yan Fei still couldn't believe everything he saw with his own eyes and said, “Even if you really are destiny, you can't just erase a villa and everyone inside without reason. This can't be your real strength…”

The man in black responded, “Sadly, this is one of my abilities, although I seldom use it.”

Yan Fei suddenly remembered something and said, “Years ago, after leaving the Louvre Museum in France, I was targeted by a sniper on the banks of the Seine River. The bullet that hit me went into the riverbank's stones, covered with a great deal of my blood. I was too severely injured at the time to locate and destroy that bullet. I originally thought that the French could use the blood on the bullet to pinpoint my identity, but later on, it turned out they did not find the bullet warhead. The stone that should have contained the warhead had nothing in it. Yet, there were no signs that the stone had been replaced. It perfectly blended with the surrounding stones, with moss growing on it just like the others…”

Years ago, Yan Fei had gone to the Louvre to steal the Drone Upgrade Essential Items, and when he left, he was ambushed and sniped by Gu Xiaolan. Gu Xiaolan's bullet had hit Yan Fei and flew out. Later, when Gu Xiaolan went to find this bullet, she found nothing at the place it should have been, and the spot was untouched. This incident had always been treated as a supernatural event, shrouded in the highest secrecy. But after Yan Fei acquired the Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” he began to collect intelligence on this incident and learned of its existence.

Yan Fei was also curious about where the bullet had gone since his DNA was on it. If the bullet were found by anyone, his identity would be compromised. Previously unaware of the reason, now having witnessed the secret manipulator's erasure ability, Yan Fei immediately remembered this incident and came to a conclusion. The secret manipulator must have been nearby at the time, secretly helping him by erasing the bullet in the stone, which is why his identity was not exposed.

Hearing Yan Fei raise the past, the man in black laughed a few times and said, “Correct, I did that. It was highly possible your identity would be exposed because of that bullet, so I used my erasure ability to erase the bullet in the stone and helped you conceal your identity. But that was in the early days; now, I will not make a move to hide your identity anymore; you must rely on yourself.”

Another bullet carrying Yan Fei's blood sample was the one found by the Oogawa Family in that dense forest. The Ancestrial Land discovered Yan Fei's true identity by analyzing the blood on that bullet. From this, it can be seen that the secret manipulator indeed helped Yan Fei hide his identity in the early days, but as Yan Fei's strength grew, he never helped Yan Fei again.

Having confirmed that the secret manipulator truly controlled everything behind the scenes, Yan Fei felt a chill run through him, for he had never detected this person's existence before. Furthermore, the secret manipulator's ability was too overwhelming; if he wished to kill Yan Fei, a mere gesture would suffice. To think that he had been contemplating how to take down the secret manipulator when in reality, their strengths were not even on the same level…

The man in black said, “Yan Fei, you have seen me, know my ability, and understand some of the truth about certain matters. I hope from now on you'll stop overthinking, because whatever you do, it's impossible for you to kill me.”

Yan Fei remained silent…

The man in black continued, “Of course, my aim is not to prevent you from confronting me. If you have the strength, you can strike at me anytime, and even killing me wouldn't be a problem. Once you go back, just act according to your heart's desires, without concern for my existence. Because whatever you aim to do is precisely what I want you to do.”

Yan Fei said, “If I want to kill you now, is this also what you want me to do?”

The man in black said, “Perhaps… Being like me is quite lonely. Who knows, maybe I'm tired of living and suddenly wish to die. If you really think so, I believe you could give it a try. Maybe you'll succeed in killing me. Once I'm dead, no one will be able to control your destinies, and you'll truly be free…”

But Yan Fei did not continue with this topic, instead asking, “What exactly are the origins of that Future Technology and Ancestrial Land? Why do they possess technology far surpassing Earth's Technological Level? Why does Ancestrial Land want to kill me?”
