......

Watching line after line of prompt messages slowly pass in front of his eyes.

Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly, as if he had realized something.

The growth of Spirit Attributes is not like physical training that brings an intuitive increase in muscle strength.

But it can make one’s Spiritual World more stable, and the five senses become more acute and alert.

It also provides stronger resistance against the invasion of external negative consciousness and spiritual abilities.

This is not merely a simple mental enhancement, but also the necessary path to cultivate the Sixth Sense, the Seventh Sense, and even the Eighth Sense "Alaya Consciousness".

When you reach the end of this road, perhaps you can touch the legendary, immortal Divine Realm...

Numerous thoughts flashed through Fang Cheng’s mind, vaguely capturing a path to supreme power.

If he could have enough "Devotion"-level links, the pure "Wish Power" they return would certainly have an immeasurable impact on his mental evolution.

Withdrawing consciousness from the Memory Palace, Fang Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

A flash of brilliance flickered in his gaze, then returned to normal.

The night was deep.

The alarm clock on the table ticked, with the hour hand quietly pointing to midnight.

Fang Cheng deftly removed his clothes, lay on his back on the bed, hands resting behind his head.

In the silent atmosphere, he began to sort through everything that happened tonight.

Chen Chen, the Gang Leader of the Red Tiger Gang, was an important peripheral power head cultivated by the Noah Organization in the East Capital.

Such a person actually chose to betray the organization and took the initiative to come to him, seeking cooperation with him, the "Mysterious Killer".

This is undoubtedly a variable, as well as a rare opportunity.

This unexpected "meeting" tonight gave Fang Cheng some new considerations on the current situation.

He could clearly feel that Chen Chen was ambitious and deeply scheming, far from being as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Dealing with such a person, for ordinary people, is no different from seeking skin from a tiger.

A slight carelessness, and even the bones would be swallowed clean.

But Fang Cheng is not just an ordinary person.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots are just the clumsy performances of jumping clowns.

And from the analysis of the current situation, Chen Chen indeed harbored thoughts of betraying Noah and breaking free from the organization’s control.

If used wisely, this local power entrenched in the East Capital could become a crucial piece against the Noah Organization.

Moreover, he still held an unpredictable trump card in his hand.

Thinking of this, another face appeared in Fang Cheng’s mind.

Xiao Shuai...

This guy, although he had seen his true face and had direct entanglements with the Red Tiger Gang, posed a risk of identity leakage.

But at the same time, he unexpectedly had strong Spiritual Resonance with him, already becoming a valuable "Wish Power" provider.

The value is self-evident.

Moreover, this person was clever enough to hold his ground at critical moments.

If he acted as a "spokesperson" between him and Chen Chen, it would be a suitable choice.

As for that potential risk...

If he completely turned him to his side, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

After pondering for a moment, Fang Cheng’s slightly knitted eyebrows gradually relaxed, and he had made up his mind.

Whether to engage in deep cooperation with Chen Chen still required careful consideration.

But further contact was necessary.

The information provided by Chen Chen regarding Noah Organization’s cadre "Scorpion" can be used to test his sincerity and capability in cooperation.

He had originally planned a hunting strategy to continue eliminating Noah members, to weaken their influence in the East Capital.

However, solving several cadres, including Chen Rui, in succession probably already alerted the Noah high command.

The intelligence network of the East Capital Branch was presumably fully activated, searching for any suspicious clues.

To avoid arousing the suspicion of Noah Organization’s intelligence personnel, Fang Cheng had specifically instructed Xu Hao earlier not to act recklessly, to avoid exposing his undercover identity.

Now, with this unexpected "surprise" from Chen Chen, he could obtain information about Noah Organization from another more secretive channel.

Naturally, he could proceed confidently.

Even if there were some slip-ups during the operation, Chen Chen’s line could confuse and mislead.

It could even serve as a potential shield if necessary.

Fang Cheng lay on his back on the bed and closed his eyes.

Outside the window, the neon lights of the city still flickered, sketching out the bustling outline of this sleepless city.

Beneath this bizarre and colorful surface, deeper undercurrents are surging relentlessly.

..................

Yuanchen Group Building, top floor.

The morning light peeks through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a light golden hue over the luxurious office.

Chen Chen rubbed his bleary eyes, let out a big yawn, and walked out of the luxurious lounge inside.

On the floor, four men laid sprawled haphazardly, each with a battered appearance, looking utterly miserable.

Some had blackened eye sockets, swollen like ripe peaches, others had split lips, oozing dark red blood.

Even more exaggerated, two of them had arms hanging at bizarre angles, clearly broken.

They wore a mishmash of clothes that were obviously ill-fitting.

It seemed they had scavenged them from some garbage heap, barely able to cover their bodies, adding a touch of absurdity.

Chen Chen’s brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown:

"What happened?"

Standing beside him, Secretary Liu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and quickly explained the situation:

"Chairman, they were knocked out last night and dumped in the outskirts at a landfill."

"They woke up at dawn, walked quite a distance through the night, and finally found a phone in a nearby village to call me."

"I just sent people to drive over and bring them back."

The four unfortunate souls, upon hearing the commotion, struggled to get up but pulled on their injuries, wincing and groaning.

One of them, whose injuries seemed slightly lighter, barely raised his head, his voice tinged with a sob:

"Gang Leader... no, Chairman... we... we were set up..."

He recounted their ordeal from the previous night and described the man wearing the white Evil Ghost Mask in a halting voice.

When mentioning the "warning" the masked man left for the Gang Leader, his tone became extremely cautious and euphemistic.

Afraid that delivering this bad news would incur the Gang Leader’s wrath upon himself.

After listening, Chen Chen inquired in more detail, confirming that there was no more valuable information to extract.

A flash of impatient anger swept across his face, and he waved his hand:

"Get out, you bunch of waste!"

"Yes, yes..."

The guys felt as if granted amnesty, supporting each other, they scrambled and stumbled out of the office.

Once the unlucky ones disappeared through the doorway, the office door softly closed.

The anger on Chen Chen’s face receded like the tide, replaced by a look of grim determination.

"Chairman."

Secretary Liu stepped forward timely, lowering his voice:

"It seems that Xiao Shuai indeed has a deep connection with that ’gentleman’."

"Otherwise, the other side wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to protect a small-time thug by targeting our men so severely."

Chen Chen walked to the large floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the city slowly waking beneath, remaining silent.

The gaze behind Secretary Liu’s glasses flickered, and he continued to inquire:

"Chairman, should we still provide the ’Scorpion’ information to him per the cooperation agreement?"

He paused, lowering his voice further:

"Yesterday, someone from Noah came over and conducted a surprise inspection of all our communications and equipment."

"Their vigilance seems even higher than before. If they discover our little maneuvers in private, I fear..."

Secretary Liu didn’t finish the sentence, but both men present were acutely aware of the apprehension behind it.

"It’s alright."

Chen Chen seemed to be in contemplation for a while before finally speaking, waving his hand:

"Noah Organization just suffered a huge loss, currently being fiercely pursued by those mad dogs of the Special Search Team, they are quite overwhelmed."

"They simply don’t have much energy to worry about the life and death of our peripheral forces, it’s all just for show now."

As he spoke, his fists clenched, an almost crazed gambling intent shone in his eyes.

"If we want to break free from their control, now is the best opportunity!"

"Seize the moment, for it may not come again!"

"But... that Mysterious Killer, can he really help us deal with Noah’s monsters?"

Secretary Liu’s tone still carried deep anxiety.

The terror of the Noah Organization, as Chen Chen’s trusted secretary, he naturally understood all too well.

"Heh, only monsters can deal with monsters."

Chen Chen let out a cold laugh, his gaze drifting toward the towering buildings outside the window:

"Therefore, we need to find another force, more powerful and more brutal than them..."
