Chapter 2529  Submit

Fang Heng glanced at the mission prompts.

Choosing the Conservative’s mission route meant there would be follow-up missions ahead.

There was no rush.

With the second mission target achieved, it was time to focus on the first.

He turned to Ruan Ziying and said softly, “I need to return to the Revolution Society to complete my tasks. You stay here and keep an eye on them. Let’s stay in touch. If the Federation or the Occult Union makes any moves, notify me immediately.”

“Return to the Revolution Society?”

Ruan Ziying felt her heart skip a beat.

Going back now?

Ruan Ziying was taken aback. Just moments ago, they had dealt a devastating blow to the Revolution Society, repelling their attack. Now he was running back?

Was he going to show off?

Did he really think the Revolution Society was a pushover?

“It’s fine, I have my plans. Just stay safe.”

Seeing the shock on her face, Fang Heng quickly explained, then transformed into bat form and swiftly flew toward the direction of the Revolution Society.

…

The headquarters of the Revolution Society.

Narlyev returned with the defeated group.

“Sir, we couldn’t find any trace of Ge Tianyu. Some reported seeing him enter the library area, but he seemed to have vanished afterward and didn’t leave,” one of his subordinates reported.

Guillermo quickly added, “I just checked the status of the Hell Gate magic array. Thankfully, we retreated in time, and it wasn’t damaged. I’ve had people verify it, and there shouldn’t be any major issues.”

“President, should we be on guard against a counterattack from the Conservatives and the Federation?”

“Ha, a counterattack?” Narlyev sneered, feeling quite frustrated. “Do they have the strength for that?”

“President, this defeat was all because of Fang Heng’s sudden appearance. We had successfully restricted the main forces of the Occult Union and the Federation. If it weren’t for him showing up at the last minute…”

Guillermo felt a sense of discomfort.

They had reached the final step, only to stumble at the last moment.

This was bad!

As he thought about Fang Heng, Guillermo noticed that the vines Fang Heng had left in their research room were still there.

Though they had lost their effectiveness…

What if? What if Fang Heng regained control over them?

He had to remove the vines immediately!

Otherwise, damaging the Hell Gate could lead to serious trouble!

“President, I’ll go and have someone start clearing out the vines Fang Heng set up.”

“Hmm, go ahead.”

“Report!”

Just as Guillermo was about to leave, a guard suddenly walked in and reported, “President, Fang Heng is here and says he wants to see you.”

What?!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly.

Guillermo’s expression darkened, and he exclaimed angrily, “How dare he show up?”

Narlyev raised a hand to silence Guillermo, then asked, “Is he alone?”

“No, he brought those same companions as before,” the subordinate replied after a moment. “They’re in the same vehicle, held at our entrance outpost.”

“Let him in,” Narlyev said after a moment’s thought. “Let’s meet Fang Heng and see what he has to say.”

Soon, in the conference room of the Revolution Society headquarters, Narlyev and Guillermo faced Fang Heng again.

Seeing the heavy expressions on their faces, Fang Heng said nothing and simply placed the Book of Greleng on the table, sliding it toward them.

Guillermo and the others, who had initially looked displeased, suddenly changed their expressions, their gazes intensifying as they focused intently on the book.

What’s going on? The Book of Greleng?!

He got it?

Narlyev looked at Fang Heng, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. He then turned to Guillermo and said in a deep voice, “Guillermo, check it.”

“Understood!”

Guillermo quickly picked up the book, examining it thoroughly before nodding. “President, it is indeed the Book of Greleng. No doubt about it!”

“Hahaha.”

Narlyev’s face broke into a smile, warmth returning to his demeanor as he praised, “Fang Heng, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me.”

“However… there is one thing I would like to ask.”

Fang Heng nodded, “Please go ahead.”

“Where did you find the Book of Greleng?”

“Underground library,” Fang Heng shrugged. “I first went to the Star Mage Tower, but I didn’t find the Book of Greleng there and almost got caught. After leaving, I happened to run into a friend from the Federation who mentioned that the book was hidden in a certain mage tower. So, I went with him.”

“It seems you were quite lucky. Our previous intel was incorrect; the Book of Greleng wasn’t hidden in the Starry Tower. By the time we received the correct information, it was too late to notify you. Thankfully, it all turned out well in the end,” Narlyev said, a hint of regret on his face. “By the way, did you see Ge Tianyu?”

“No,” Fang Heng shook his head. “I only encountered some abyssal monsters along the way. After I found the Book of Greleng, I left immediately. Why, did Ge Tianyu run into trouble?”

“Yes, he also went to the underground library. Perhaps he wasn’t as fortunate as you,” Narlyev replied, appearing somewhat relaxed. He shrugged, adding, “But I find it strange. I know the strength of the conservatives. Aside from those old men who’ve withdrawn from the world, it’s hard for anyone else to defeat him, let alone prevent him from escaping with his soul…”

Sun Zhaoyu chimed in, rolling his eyes, “You just said he was unlucky.”

“True enough. This isn’t the time to dwell on that; it’s time to study the Book of Greleng. I believe we can find a way to deal with the ‘Jealousy’ demonic seed,” Narlyev said.

He eyed Fang Heng with some suspicion but decided not to press further. Instead, he turned to Guillermo, saying, “Guillermo, I’m entrusting this to you. Make sure it’s handled well.”

“Understood!”

[Hint: Due to the player losing the item-Book of Greleng, the current branch mission-Greed and Greater Greed has changed status to incomplete.]

[Hint: The player has submitted the mission item-Book of Greleng to the Reformists, fulfilling the conditions for the current branch mission – Trust and Cooperation. The player may choose to delay the settlement of this mission.]

[Hint: Mission rewards-Follow-up missions will trigger after settlement.]

Fang Heng quickly glanced at the mission hints.

It was just as he had guessed.

At that moment, both opposing side missions had been completed.

To finish the last branch of the side mission line, there was just one final step remaining.

He needed to reclaim the Book of Greleng from the Revolution Society!

There were still 65 hours left before the compulsory mission was completed.

It was enough!

Fang Heng didn’t rush to take action; he was more curious about what methods the Book of Greleng contained to deal with the “Jealousy” demonic seed.

Since the mission hadn’t been settled yet, it wouldn’t trigger automatically, so he could only try to explore on his own.

He looked up at Narlyev and asked, “Do you mind if I join in?”
