The Red Stone Grand Hotel was bustling with activity, as everyone was busy preparing for the banquet scheduled in two days.
Klaus was also running around, appearing to be fully dedicated to this event.
In fact, hosting a banquet at the Red Stone Grand Hotel had its advantages for Klaus—at least for those who did not understand the true distribution of power in the city of sin. The very fact that Klaus could organize an event of this scale was enough to demonstrate his influence within the city.
Wen Yu, however, did not seek out Klaus again; instead, he went straight to Kuang Liu's room to communicate the latest developments in the situation.
Originally, Wen Yu did not need to invest so much effort into this matter, even if this strange dream actively entangled him. After all, if he couldn’t find the main culprit, he could just leave—after all, the United States was vast, and there was no shortage of places for him to hide.
However, the inference that a divine beast species possessed dream-related abilities made Wen Yu restless, making it hard for him to give up on such a uniquely powerful creature.
Kuang Liu had just stayed in the room to communicate with Claire, checking if she had any relevant information regarding the situation.
Unfortunately, Claire was also in the dark. According to her, during her last mission in Las Vegas dealing with military casualties, she had not managed to uncover any useful results. This led the U.S. military to decide to abandon Las Vegas and instead assign a small Special Operations Team to establish a communication network there.
Thus far, all leads had completely ceased.
Returning to his room, Wen Yu lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
After a while, he let out a heavy sigh.
"This water is indeed deep."
The truth seemed to be obscured by a veil, making it difficult for Wen Yu to grasp.
For the first time, Wen Yu felt his own powerlessness—while his strength was formidable, this world was filled with bizarre abilities! At this moment, he had no means or capabilities to deal with all the unknowns!
He seemed to recall what "Kuang Liu" had said to him in the dream—get stronger! Become even stronger!
"Still not enough."
Wen Yu’s previously confused gaze gradually became resolute.
All misfortunes stem from weakness! This saying had always been a truth he held dear. The events of the past two days undoubtedly reinforced this notion in him.
Tearing through the fog, capturing that creature with its strange abilities! And then, integrating that power into himself! In this situation, Wen Yu would not only resolve the weaknesses within his own ability system, but also transform what was originally feeble into something extraordinarily powerful in an instant!
This might also be the terrifying aspect of being a soul master—the perfect way to turn enemies into allies and grow stronger.
...
As night deepened, it was just another ordinary evening. However, in this world, unusual events were bound to occur.
In a space shrouded in shadows, filled with mysterious gray-black currents, a black cat quietly lay on a massive stone platform. The bright moonlight gently spilled in from the opening above the cat, illuminating its sleek, dark fur with a faint silver sheen.
However, from the black cat's slightly trembling body, it was evident that it seemed to be enduring immense pain!
Then, the black cat slowly opened its eyes.
Its emerald green eyes, filled with terrifying cracks like broken glass, once beautiful, now reflected a hint of dazedness, with countless fragmented images flashing by, eventually settling on the figure of Wen Yu.
Afterward, the black cat softly let out a "meow"...
The weakness in its voice was palpable, and the next moment, the black cat slowly closed its eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.
A strange and secretive wave of spiritual energy was sent out, crossing time and space, and instantly arrived at the Red Stone Grand Hotel.
Then, it slipped into Wen Yu's mind...
Neither Wen Yu nor the watchful One-Eyed and Xing noticed anything at all.
