Lu Shu walked on the road. He had kept the goods from Zhao Yongchen in the Seal of Lands. He looked out as far as the eye could see. This African city was desolate and dilapidated.

This place had experienced many wars. Furthermore, the locals here were not very courageous. Many of them wanted to reap without sowing. He was not belittling them. Their personalities were indeed very different from the people back home. This piece of land was very fertile. There were many resources whose potential had not been tapped on.

When Lu Shu walked past the building, he could still see a hole in the building, as well as countless dilapidated walls.

When he returned to the villa, everyone was in the living room discussing their next move. Lu Shu realized that for some reason, while he was gone, the secret practitioners and the three negotiators had become closer with each other. What was happening? How did these two groups of people bond so quickly?

To be honest, Lu Shu did not expect that the secret practitioners and the negotiators would be bound by hatred for a common enemy, Lu Shu. Thus, they were on much better terms with each other…

After entering the villa, Lu Shu walked up. Liu Fan shouted, “Where did you go? The mineral resources are very important. Don’t you feel that you should help out? We have put in so much effort. And here you are, observing by the side?”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “What exactly have you guys done?”

This baffled Liu Fan and the rest. Up till now, everyone had only been discussing. As for the concrete steps they would take to carry out the organization, they had not even seen the people from EO, let alone start any negotiation. If you were to ask them what exactly they had done… even Liu Fan could not come up with an answer.

“From Liu Fan’s distress, +99!”

“From Xia Rensheng’s…”

Lu Shu had offended everyone. He had rejected everyone’s contributions.

“The negotiations will eventually begin. We have to make preparations in advance so that during the actual negotiations, we will be able to proceed smoothly,” said Li Ganyu coldly.

Lu Shu nodded his head and went up. If he said this, they may not believe him. But he thought that… the talks would not go through…

In other words… if he succeeded, then Liu Fan’s, Li Ganyu’s, and everyone else’s preparations would be for nothing. But he could not accuse them of not taking the initiative.

The Heavenly Network’s objective this time was to obtain all the mineral resources. Lu Shu had his own judgment of the situation. He felt that as long as one organization took all the mineral resources for themselves, they would definitely be attacked by the others. He did not know how he could obtain the resources. But now, he decided to just stir up trouble.

Lu Shu returned to his room and took out the goods that Zhao Yongchen had given to him. He found an army uniform and a beret.

After he changed his clothes, he changed his appearance to that of Bennett’s and jumped out of the window. At first, he had thrown the stinky tofu to make the large organizations give up on surveillance. Now, the entire vegetation was filled with the smell of stinky tofu. No one would be able to stay there for long. This made movement for Lu Shu much easier.

If he did not do so and someone saw him jump out of the window, what would he do?

Thus, Lu Shu felt that he had great farsightedness… although he did not think of this back then when he threw the stinky tofu.

Lu Shu walked around and arrived at the villa where the Phoenix Society was staying at. The members of the Phoenix Society were doing shifts at the door. Initially, they did not plan to do so. Now, they did so to escape the stench of stinky tofu. After all, the box of stinky tofu back then had made them nauseous for an entire night. The smell still had not dissipated.

Lu Shu calmly stood at the door. “I have something to discuss with Howard.”

The members of the Phoenix Society looked helplessly at each other and welcomed Lu Shu in. In the afternoon, they were still talking about Bennett’s message that he would talk to whoever found the culprit first. They had decided to wait patiently, but they did not expect Bennett to personally come and find them!

It seemed like the message was just an excuse. They had to pretend to advance on one path while secretly going along another!

Howard walked down with a smile. He said proudly, “Mr Bennett, you have made a wise decision. The Phoenix Society is your best partner.”

Lu Shu calmly said, “There’s no use just talking. I need to see the actual goods. After all, there are many organizations competing. What has the Phoenix Society brought to me?”

“We have whatever the other organizations have. I heard that Mr Bennett’s son has not awakened. The Phoenix Society has a fruit that can awaken earth-type abilities,” Howard said.

Lu Shu felt slightly disappointed. He had no use for the fruit. After all, he could not eat it. How nice it would be if he could obtain a weapon! But either way, Howard was giving it to him for nothing. He said calmly, “Then what are you waiting for…”

“Ha ha, Mr Bennett, there’s no hurry.” Howard invited Bennett to sit on the sofa. From this, Lu Shu could see Howard’s superiority. They were evidently on EO land, but he acted like the owner of the house. This was the result of being one of the most powerful people.

To be honest, destroying EO would be like completing an easy game to a Class A. This was a true top-notch organization.

This time Lu Shu did not come to obtain goods. The people in charge of foreign affairs from the large organizations would not commit themselves until success was certain. Was it logical to offer payment even without seeing the actual goods? They had nothing to fear because of their strong backing!

Thus, from the start, Lu Shu had determined that it was not realistic for him to obtain anything. He was only testing the water. He had no time for this. He went straight to the main point.

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “The Phoenix Society wants to obtain the mineral resources through us, right?”

He had hit the nail on its head. Everyone clearly had this intention. Lu Shu just wanted them to reveal it. Howard laughed and calmed down. He said in a serious tone, “Mr Bennett, I don’t know why you have called the large organizations here. Since you’ve said it, we will not hesitate to lay our cards on the table.”

“The mercenary organization EO has developed very well in Africa. But we are facing some limitations. We are too weak to set our eyes on the world. Thus, we planned to choose an organization to protect us through this deal. Frankly speaking, it is a merger,” Lu Shu said. He had randomly come up with an explanation.

Howard’s eyes lit up. So this was Bennett’s original intention! The Phoenix Society was their first choice because of its power!

As for the merger, they would wait until the influence of Bennett and the others were taken away by the Phoenix Society. Then, they would have no say!

Howard laughed. “So, Mr Bennett, what do you think about the Phoenix Society?”

Lu Shu was silent. “You are not suitable.”

Howard was speechless.

“From Howard Miller’s distress, +999!”

Howard could not understand Bennett. After all that trouble, you only came to say this? Are you crazy?!
