I’ve heard that Shadow is insatiable!

This middle-aged man of Chinese descent is named 'Mr. J', with the God Forsaken Game code name 'Mr. J'.

In the Chinese community in North America, the famously wealthy 'Boss Ji' is actually this Mr. J's cousin.

Compared to his relative's prominent reputation in business, Mr. J belongs to the type who quietly amasses wealth. He developed in California with his wife, children, and in-laws, managing several large farms.

When the God Forsaken Game descended, Mr. J showed great foresight by immediately selling all his real estate holdings and using all the liquid capital to purchase 'lifespan'.

This allowed him to lead his entire family in developing faster during the early stages.

What Mr. J regrets now is not selling the farms back then…

He originally thought that with the apocalypse coming, the value of his farms would soar.

However, it turned out that the God Forsaken Game actually contained 'god-given books'!

Now, the threshold for obtaining a god-given book isn't very high. As more and more people can become self-sufficient, Mr. J's farms have become utterly useless and were abandoned.

Later, after several twists and turns, Mr. J joined the 'Heavenly Serpent Organization'.

Initially, the organization's members only contacted each other offline. Their usual operations weren't solely targeting Great Xia; they also targeted powerful individuals from other countries, using methods like recruitment, coercion, or offering benefits.

And now.

The Heavenly Serpent Organization's guild has been formally established, with its headquarters set in the Los Angeles Ruins, and they even purchased this 'Noble Restaurant' Hideout.

But unexpectedly, before the guild members could even be fully assembled, a Trembling Clown was lured to the ruins!

When Mr. J voiced his idea,

the other six people all looked at him with some surprise.

Among them, a Suit-wearing Old Man said gravely, 'Mr. J. Although you were once a person of Great Xia, that clown was brought by people from Great Xia. If we want Shadow to take action and eliminate the BOSS, we will undoubtedly have to pay an unimaginable price.'

At this point, Mr. J naturally holds North American citizenship.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been allowed to join the Heavenly Serpent Organization, let alone become one of the vice presidents of the Heaven Serpent Guild now.

Of the seven people present, apart from that Suit-wearing Old Man being the president, the other six are all vice presidents.

The six vice presidents come from various parts of North America. For example, Mr. J is from California. This is actually their first time gathering online…

Hearing the Suit-wearing Old Man's words, Mr. J first bowed respectfully, then said with a smile, 'That's right. If we truly want to invite Shadow, our losses would be too great. However, getting Shadow to take action doesn't necessarily mean we have to 'invite' him…'

'With just a little manipulation, we can make 'Shadow' come uninvited!'

His words piqued everyone's interest.

Because they received news that not long ago, 'Shadow' on the Jianghai City level rankings in Great Xia had already reached level 30.

This means Shadow is now capable of cross-country teleportation!

At the president's gesture, Mr. J continued outlining his plan.

'The current situation is clear. People from Great Xia lured the BOSS over and proposed a deal with it, asking the BOSS not to attack those dozen or so guilds from Great Xia.'

'So, if the BOSS goes back on its word and doesn't keep the agreement, Great Xia will definitely be furious!'

'If Great Xia can cooperate with the BOSS, why can't we?'

As soon as these words were spoken,

in the room, a beautiful blonde female swordsman with long hair, wearing a set of Platinum-grade light armor and looking quite elegant,

glanced at Mr. J and said coldly, 'I tried sending people to communicate with the clown, but the BOSS kills anyone it sees from us. There's simply no opportunity for dialogue.'

Mr. J smiled faintly, 'Your thinking is too narrow. We don't actually need to cooperate with the BOSS. We just need to make the people from Great Xia *think* we are cooperating with the BOSS… Do you understand what I mean?'

When he put it this way, the old president frowned, 'You mean, sow discord between the BOSS and the people from Great Xia, lure Shadow over, and have Shadow kill the BOSS?'

'Exactly. Sowing discord and using someone else to do the dirty work—this is wisdom from Great Xia.'

Mr. J nodded respectfully, 'We send people to kill some members of Great Xia's guilds, claiming the BOSS forced us to do it, and that any lifespan we obtain will be taken by the BOSS…'

'This way, we can create the illusion that the BOSS is untrustworthy.'

'When Great Xia discovers that this Epic BOSS appears to keep its word on the surface but secretly forces us to kill Great Xia players, Great Xia definitely won't tolerate it!'

'Then, for Great Xia to solve the problem and eliminate the BOSS, they can only send Shadow over, right?'

Hearing this, the other six looked at each other and fell into thought.

This plan… is it reliable?

Seeing this, Mr. J pressed his advantage and continued, 'The BOSS kills us, we kill Great Xia people, Shadow kills the BOSS. Doesn't that solve the problem?'

'Once Shadow arrives, even if he communicates with the BOSS and the BOSS denies cooperating with us, it will be useless.'

'After all, the BOSS fundamentally cannot produce evidence to prove it didn't cooperate with us!'

'So, the BOSS is definitely taking the blame for this!'

Hearing this, the Suit-wearing Old Man immediately seemed somewhat tempted.

This president of the Heaven Serpent Guild was originally a governor from the North American official government, holding a high position and great authority. His combat power is also not weak now. Once the old man gives the nod, this matter is basically settled.

But at this moment, the blonde female swordsman who had just spoken frowned, 'I disagree. Do you think Shadow is a fool?'

Mr. J chuckled, 'Stina, do you have any other solutions now?'

If Qin Feng were present, he would definitely recognize that beautiful blonde swordsman as a powerhouse ranked in the global top fifty in his previous life.

She was even one of the very few top-tier powerhouses who set foot on the 'Order Land'!

Her real name is 'Stina Mozer', with the God Forsaken Game code name 'Nikana'. She possesses the unique Hidden Class 'Dragon Hall Guard' and wields the exclusive weapon, the longsword 'Dragon Blade'.

She has always been a player in the Los Angeles Ruins, ranking in the top three on the Los Angeles level rankings, with a group of powerful individuals under her command.

The reason some of the larger Great Xia guilds in Los Angeles haven't been suppressed too severely is actually thanks to this blonde female swordsman.

Out of wariness towards 'Shadow', Stina has always firmly believed in maintaining friendly relations with Great Xia.

Therefore, hearing Mr. J's words, the beautiful swordsman said seriously, 'This incident can be confirmed as revenge from Great Xia. I said before, the risk of you luring the epic-grade BOSS to the demon capital was extremely high. Facts have proven that Shadow is fully capable of handling a BOSS of this caliber.'

'Now, the other party has discovered we were behind the scheme, which is why they lured the clown to Los Angeles.'

'In that case, what the other party wants is nothing more than an apology and compensation. So, give it to them. Let them state their conditions and invite Shadow to come kill this BOSS…'

'With Shadow's current strength, us backing down is not laughable.'

These words made everyone in the room somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, they have always been elites, and North America is the world's strongest nation. Now they should back down to someone?

Mr. J, however, sneered, 'I've heard Shadow is insatiable, Stina. I'm afraid even offering yourself up wouldn't satisfy him. Since there's a disagreement, I suggest we put it to a vote. Fair, isn't it?'
