Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 465 - 314: The World is a Grass-Roots Troupe

Li Hui mentioned other privileges, including the ability to visit the leader at any time, seek help from other members, receive an information briefing every three days, and deploy a squad of Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men in emergencies, among others."

Ji Xinghuo listened attentively.

These privileges, for those with ambition or those aspiring to advance, each had tremendous implications.

For instance, being able to visit the leader at any time was a privilege many dreamed of. If used appropriately, it could yield immense influence.

However, Ji Xinghuo had no particular thoughts about it.

To him, the most attractive aspect was the resources of the Star Realm Department.

With the power of an entire nation to gather resources, both the efficiency and scope greatly exceeded what one could achieve alone, saving countless time and effort.

Ji Xinghuo asked, "Director, is there a specific term for our identity?"

"No."

Li Hui shook his head and smiled, "You understand, even without me saying it, that these are privileges, actually against the law, naturally they can’t be formalized in official documents, nor is there a specialized agency or a distinct title for it."

"We are neither a faction nor a family."

"All our actions are within reasonable limits, following the leadership of the leader, serving the nation."

Ji Xinghuo instantly understood.

Everything should be done according to the rules, silently, with mutual understanding.

"Have you ever heard of Saint Creationism?" Li Hui asked again.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo nod, he continued, "The leader set the plan many years ago, marrying Saint Creationism with Endurance. Not only focusing on gathering resources to train Mutants and break through to Saint level but also to vigorously research and develop technology to elevate Earth to a Fifth Level civilization."

"We are part of the Saint Creation plan, but not exactly following the proponents of Saint Creationism, slightly different."

Li Hui did not detail the differences.

Ji Xinghuo sighed, "The leader truly is visionary. Director, how many members do we have?"

"You are the 67th," Li Hui seemed to recall the past, speaking regretfully, "However, only 35 are still alive today, and not everyone has achieved great success or holds a high position. Some renounced their rights, some settled, and others disappeared. You won’t meet more than 20 here domestically."

Of the 67, only 20 remained.

The loss ratio, nearly half, far exceeded Ji Xinghuo’s expectations.

Since he learned of this "family’s" existence, he speculated, could Ren Mian also have once been a member?

After considering, he finally asked, "Do you know a Mutant named Ren Mian?"

"I don’t know her," Li Hui immediately shook his head, "Who is that?"

"A friend of mine."

Seeing that Ji Xinghuo did not elaborate, Li Hui looked thoughtful but did not pursue further questions.

"Alright, I’ve told you everything the leader instructed," Li Hui regained his formal expression, "Do you have any questions?"

Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment, "What’s the situation with the Qianyuan Association now?"

"Their influence within the country has been completely eradicated," Li Hui said, pressing lightly on his desk to project the file, "See for yourself."

Ji Xinghuo quickly browsed through.

The file was still being updated; the Sword Bureau’s Swordsmen were summarizing the content obtained from interrogations and syncing it to Li Hui’s terminal.

After reading just two or three pages of summaries, Ji Xinghuo found it shocking.

The Qianyuan Association had been infiltrating Earth for over 30 years, starting from the early 1990s, setting up organizations globally, and penetrating the major nations.

The Asia-Pacific Community, American Federation, West Alliance, and New Roman Empire—from government high-ranks to private enterprises—had spies from the Qianyuan Association.

The Qianyuan Association’s method of infiltration was also quite straightforward.

They selected Mutants with excellent talents but who had not yet made any achievements, provided them with sufficient resources and information to display their strength and earn achievements, thus ascending to high positions within various countries.

For the sake of their future and strength, these individuals gradually came under the control of the Qianyuan Association.

Moreover, the Qianyuan Association had a very powerful Mind Hacker who branded these important members mentally.

However, this method was not foolproof.

Shen Yucheng was an exception; his mental branding somehow failed, and he fled into the Star Realm right before being exposed.

Ji Xinghuo saw a list naming the Qianyuan Association’s spies.

There were over three hundred people!

Su Qingqiu and Ye Tongjun were prominently listed, among the highest-ranked few. Additionally, there were two key figures.

One was a commander of the Asia-Pacific Community military, a Vice Admiral, who died last night during the arrest.

The other person caused Ji Xinghuo to pause when he saw the name.

"Shi Daoyuan!"

The file indicated that the Qianyuan Association had established multiple companies and non-profit organizations within the Asia-Pacific Community; three of which were mentioned by Shen Yucheng.

Behind these companies and organizations, the actual controller was Shi Daoyuan.

"It’s actually him."

Ji Xinghuo felt this was both expected and surprising.

Shi Daoyuan, the eldest son of Shi Hongyi and heir to the entire group’s enterprises, a billionaire, was also a high-ranking member of the Qianyuan Association.

But was only Shi Daoyuan involved with the Qianyuan Association?

Ji Xinghuo had always suspected that Shi Hongyi was one of the controllers of the Qianyuan Association, but the results of the mental interrogation revealed only Shi Daoyuan’s involvement; Shi Hongyi and his family’s business group had no ties with the Qianyuan Association.

The most surprising thing was that the letter reporting Ji Zongbang to the Security Department had actually been written by Shi Daoyuan.

"What is Shi Daoyuan up to?" Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but ask.

Li Hui said, "Just keep reading and you’ll understand."

As Ji Xinghuo read further into the mind records, he became more speechless. It turned out that Ji Zongbang had been dispatched from Fusang Autonomous Province to Chang’an, encountering a research institute for Alien Species owned by Shi Daoyuan, and on a sudden whim, he had stolen the "Rotating Magnetic Field."

This Alien Species had been prepared by Shi Daoyuan for himself.

His profession was a Martial Artist, and he wanted to take on a side job as a Magnetic Field Madman to thus advance to Magnetic Storm Martial Saint.

He never imagined that it would be stolen by a spy working under him.

Unable to find Ji Zongbang, Shi Daoyuan came up with a foolish plan and sent an anonymous report to the Security Department.

He hoped to use the Security Department to find Ji Zongbang, and then have another spy within the department covertly relay the information.

But the plan went awry.

The Sword Bureau found Ji Zongbang before the Security Department could, Yan Xiao led a team to injure him, and he fled, ultimately encountering him.

By the time the Security Department arrived, Ji Zongbang had already been killed by his own three arrows.

The Rotating Magnetic Field ultimately ended up in his own hands.

After reading, Ji Xinghuo was at a loss for words.

The ins and outs of a spy case from several years ago, he had never expected the truth to be like this.

The report letter from Shi Daoyuan stated that Ji Zongbang was a spy for the United States, arousing the attention of the Sword Bureau; after several months of deep investigation, they eventually traced back to Shen Yucheng, leading to a series of subsequent events and exposing the Qianyuan Association.

"Too smart for his own good," Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Li Hui had seen it long ago and sighed, "Sometimes, reality is just this illogical."

"Yes..." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Shi Daoyuan was driven mad.

He had finally acquired a Rotating Magnetic Field at great cost and impulsively acted out when it was stolen by his own subordinate.

The Magnetic Storm Martial Saint was a very powerful advanced profession, and everything related to a Mutant’s path of evolution was always hard to keep calm about.

Essentially, the world is a stage filled with change and uncertainty.

It can also be seen as: the world is a huge makeshift troupe.

Some high-ranking individuals, even those powerful Mutants, often behave irrationally or even in extremely crude ways, causing shocks and raising doubts about their intelligence.

"Director," Ji Xinghuo asked, "do you think the other members of the Shi family are truly uninvolved?"

"They should be uninvolved," Li Hui replied, "The leader has already conducted a mind interrogation on Shi Daoyuan; he couldn’t possibly keep any secrets."

The leader, as the world’s most powerful Mind Hacker.

Any person, after undergoing a mind interrogation by the leader, holds no secrets any longer.

Last year, the assassination that occurred at Tianqin Stadium and the "Ghost Wolf" attack by the All-Purpose Battle Police were arranged by Shi Daoyuan, unknown to the Shi family.

Shi Daoyuan, Su Qingqiu, and Ye Tongjun didn’t know each other’s real identities.

However, they all had a common superior.

While the true identity of their superior was unclear, the information they gathered from multiple encounters all pointed to one person.

That was a Heavenly King Mutant.

"Star Patrol," Wei Tianyuan, ranked 22nd among the Heavenly Kings, secretive and low-profile, without any official identity or title.

Seeing this name, Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat.

Each person on the Heavenly King list is globally renowned, and people are familiar with the legends of the Heavenly Kings.

This year Wei Tianyuan is 76 years old, a citizen of the Asia-Pacific Community. Initially obscure, he became a Mutant at 21 and chose the "Ranger" as his professional template. He ventured into the Star Realm as a Primary Level Mutant until he ascended to Legendary at 38, becoming famous overnight.

After becoming famous, Wei Tianyuan mostly remained solitary, occasionally teaming up with other Mutants for hunts.

According to investigations by the ADC, Wei’s advanced profession should be "Border Walker."

An advancement from Ranger and Flying Steps.

However, Wei also demonstrated the capabilities of a "Hunting Master" with three very powerful War Pets.

Thirteen years ago, Wei ascended to Heavenly King at the age of 63 and his strength continued to rise rapidly, rising quickly in rankings from the bottom to 22nd place within a decade.

Wei Tianyuan was not involved in any of Earth’s affairs, spending most of his time adventuring in the Star Realm, free and unrestrained, only occasionally returning to Earth.

This lifestyle was envied and admired by many.

Thus he was called the "Star Patrol," meaning one who tours the Star Realm.

Ji Xinghuo had once longed for this kind of life. Little did he expect that Wei Tianyuan was the mastermind behind the Qianyuan Association.

"30 years ago..."

"When the Star Patrol became famous, it coincided with the founding of the Qianyuan Association, aligning perfectly in time."

Ji Xinghuo agreed with the Sword Bureau’s conjecture.

Regrettably, Wei Tianyuan was untraceable, and his last return to Earth had been six months ago.

Li Hui said, "The Qianyuan Association’s Heavenly Kings should be more than just Wei Tianyuan; the guess is at least three, and those legendary figures who conceal their identities are only more numerous."

"That’s what I think too," Ji Xinghuo nodded. Last night Ye Tongjun brought two legendary strongmen who turned out not to be Xuanyuan Swordsmen, "Director, the domestic powers of the Qianyuan Association have been cleared, but what about overseas?"
