Chapter 513 Everyone expresses his or her own opinion
The two talked for a long time, and before they knew it, it was late at night. Both had gained something from their conversation, and Chao Bufan stood up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back. Father, about the matter of God's treasure—"
The priest smiled slightly and said, "Whenever you want to go, I will take you to search."
“Alright,” Chao Bufan nodded, “Let’s go search tomorrow! Is there anything I need to prepare?”
“No need,” said Father Frodo. “I will prepare everything for you when the time comes.”
"Then thank you very much, Father."
"You're too kind. I should be the one saying thank you."
"Father, I'll take my leave now!"
Before Father Frodo could react, Chao Bufan vanished from the secret chamber. Father Frodo was startled to see Chao Bufan disappear in the blink of an eye. He then stroked his beard, nodded and smiled, before sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to meditate.
Although it was late at night, the entire ancient city of L was still brightly lit, illuminating every corner of the city. On the streets, soldiers of the ancient L Kingdom patrolled in perfect unison, their movements synchronized, moving through every street and alley of the ancient city.
I've heard that this is the most well-organized patrol area in the world, with soldiers marching in unison through every street and alley. I've also heard that this is the place with the lowest crime rate in the world, where you're unlikely to spot robberies, rapes, or thefts.
So, when you see a line of soldiers carrying guns passing by you late at night, don't be surprised or panicked. It's a perfectly normal thing to do, so just take it in stride.
Chao Bufan strolled casually along the quiet streets late at night, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips, hands behind his back, occasionally humming a cheerful tune, exuding an air of leisurely ease. Unconsciously, images of Tang Qianqian and the others surfaced in his mind, and a faint, happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He wondered what they were doing. Were they thinking of him?
At this moment, he truly felt a sense of "a day apart feels like three autumns, a month apart feels like a lifetime," and he wished he could rush back to see them immediately.
I quickly took out my phone to call them, wanting to hear their voices, but when I looked at the time, it was already 3 a.m. I hesitated for a moment, then muttered to myself:
"It's so late, won't calling them disturb them?" After thinking for a moment, she continued to mutter to herself, "Never mind, I'll go back to see them after I finish what I'm doing!"
Before he knew it, he had returned to the Lucky House Hotel. However, just as Chao Bufan reached the hotel entrance, a powerful gust of wind suddenly swept past him. He quickly frowned, then turned his head to look to his right, wondering suspiciously, "What are those people from the Crossfire Cult doing in the middle of the night?"
However, no sooner had the thought left his mind than another gust of wind swept past behind him, causing him to become suspicious again: "Huh? Aren't these people from the Sunfire Hall?"
He stood at the hotel entrance for a while, and after confirming that there were only two groups of people flying away in the same direction, he wondered, "What are they doing, all so mysterious?"
Just then, He Yifei and Lin Xiaomin came out, both with solemn expressions. He Yifei transmitted her voice and asked, "Bufan, who are they?"
Chao Bufan replied, "They are from the Sun Holy Fire Hall and the Cross Heavenly Fire Cult."
"Judging from their hurried manner, something seems to have happened," Lin Xiaomin transmitted her voice. "Bufan, should we follow them to see what's going on?"
Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go take a look. You all go back to sleep!"
"Then be careful!" He Yifei transmitted her voice.
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement, and after arriving on the street and confirming that no one else was around, he vanished from the spot with a thought.
At the summit of a high mountain east of Ancient L City, five members of the Sun Sacred Flame Hall and five members of the Cross Heavenly Flame Sect stood side by side. All of them were at the peak of the Earth Realm. However, the two sects maintained a certain distance from each other, seemingly wary of one another.
Both sides remained silent for a moment before the member of the Crossfire Cult closest to the Sunfire Church spoke first: "Antoni, isn't your Sunfire Church overreaching a bit too much? How dare you steal food from our Crossfire Cult."
Although the man's words were accusatory, they didn't sound angry at all.
“Likewise,” the man from the Sunfire Church standing next to him smiled slightly. “Those who act fast get to eat, and those who act slow will go hungry! Sipler, your Crossfire Church has taken food from our mouths before, and you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks here.”
As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance and then smiled at each other.
After a moment, Antony said with a serious expression, "We received news from our branch that they have successfully completed their mission. The next task will require us to work together."
Sipler nodded and said, "Since it's a joint operation, we can't keep our own selfish motives as we have in the past. We should prioritize the overall situation."
“That’s right,” Antoni nodded in agreement. “This mission is different from the past. It’s extremely difficult. If we make the slightest mistake, we will both be doomed.”
“Moreover,” Sipler continued, “the enemy has increased their vigilance, which will greatly hinder our operations, so we must be extremely careful.”
The two of them spoke back and forth, each expressing their own opinions, yet maintaining a consensus.
Not far away, Chao Bufan, concealed behind a boulder, overheard the conversation between the two and was secretly astonished. Both the Crossfire Cult and the Sunfire Hall were among the four major international mercenary organizations, possessing formidable strength. Ordinary missions were beneath their notice; they wouldn't accept them, and besides, ordinary people couldn't easily persuade them. The missions these four mercenary organizations took on were challenging, arduous, and dangerous, so the rewards were naturally very generous. Furthermore, these four mercenary organizations rarely had opportunities to cooperate; they each took on their own missions, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other. He was greatly surprised that they were cooperating on the same mission this time. It was clear that both sides attached great importance to this mission, but he didn't know what kind of mission they were talking about. However, what they said next piqued his interest.
