Seeing Arcade's state, Wen Yu let out a deep sigh.
"Arcade?"
The mental fluctuation was transmitted into Arcade's mind in an instant, but the reply was far from optimistic.
"I'm here, my lord..."
It was still Arcade's former voice, yet looking at the person before him, Wen Yu felt an odd sense of strangeness.
After a long moment of eye contact, Arcade's figure quickly vaporized, and just three seconds later, there was no trace left.
The situation was clear; the eye that Wen Yu had inserted beside Bai had long been controlled by Bai— not only did it not have any effect, but even Arcade had perished in this task.
Wen Yu stood silently for a few minutes, mourning for Arcade.
Until footsteps were heard behind him, the remaining high-ranking members of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union followed Wen Yu into the room— Howard was also among them.
Everyone looked at the empty office, then at Wen Yu standing in the doorway, until the current strongest member of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union— Sequence Thirty-Seven— spoke up.
"My lord, this is..."
"Your former president killed the former vice president— this is the state you see before you."
After Wen Yu finished speaking, he walked over and sat down in Arcade's office chair. He looked at the high-ranking members of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union, whose expressions were all unusual, and slowly began to speak.
"Files, documents, testimonies, even memories... I know some of you have helped Bai a lot, but it's not your fault, and I have no intention of holding you accountable. Now, I only need any information that can provide me with details about Bai."
The group exchanged glances but had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Freedom is valuable, but life is even more precious.
Lone Wanderers are the most adept at judging the situation, and they have the strongest desire to survive— the conditions Wen Yu laid out, even if it involved their privacy, left them no room or reason to refuse.
"Regarding the subsequent issues of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union, as high-ranking members, you should be aware of the background behind the Union. That's right; I am your background. Let's put Bai's matters aside for now. The Union has accomplishments and hard work over the years, and I have no intention nor necessity to disband the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union..."
"I will appoint another person as the president of the Union; assist him well, and that's it."
Once Wen Yu appeared, this place had already become a one-man show— whatever he said was law, and no one had the capability to resist.
Thus, the high-ranking members of the Union nodded in agreement, followed by a round of flattery.
Until Wen Yu frowned, waved his hand, and chased them all out. After everyone left, Wen Yu squinted his eyes, extending his senses to scan the entire headquarters building of the Union again, confirming there were no issues before turning to leave.
Meanwhile, in Beijing, Wen Yu One was also simultaneously getting to know the entire background of the matter. He set aside his research, returned to his office, and summoned Lin Haifeng, then called Fran. The three of them discussed for a long time in the commander-in-chief's office until they finalized the process for wrapping this matter up.
Choosing a new president for the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union was quite easy— after all, Beijing is currently filled with talent.
After evaluating with Lin Haifeng and Fran, the three of them unanimously decided that Fang Yuqiong's abilities and strength made her suitable for the position of president of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union. After inquiring about Fang Yuqiong's thoughts, the next day, she resigned from her position in Beijing and went to the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union to take office and handle the follow-up issues left by Bai.
Wen Yu One, under Lin Haifeng's suggestion, also prepared to personally gauge a certain someone's stance.
...
The gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, waking Wen Yu from the disorientation caused by teleportation. He lifted his head and immediately saw the castle complex he had visited only once before.
