The surrounding professionals and mutated beasts consciously made way for Wen Yu, looking at him with eyes of gratitude, as if he were a benefactor.
Of course, Wen Yu was no longer the cannon fodder from his past life. In this life, having witnessed countless grand scenes, he felt indifferent to it all.
Benefactor or enemy, gratitude or hatred, it was all irrelevant.
The attitudes of others held no importance for Wen Yu, because living, killing, and fighting were never for anyone else but himself!
He walked directly to the entrance of the Red Stone Grand Hotel and quietly spoke to Klaus, "Let them rest. Right now, all areas around the Red Stone Grand Hotel that have not lost visibility belong to my designated safe zone. There’s no need to worry about those demonic creatures outside for the time being..."
At this point, Wen Yu paused and spoke to Klaus in a more subtle tone, "In a bit, you and Victor go to the fourth-floor conference room, call Arthur and Qin Tian; we need to discuss how to get out of here."
Klaus nodded, signaling that he understood.
Then, Wen Yu walked directly into the Red Stone Grand Hotel.
...
There were hardly any figures along the way.
This was to be expected.
Hiding in the rooms of the Red Stone Grand Hotel was not safe; windows and walls could all become breakthroughs for the incoming demonic creatures.
The basement, though potentially facing threats from burrowing demonic creatures, was still stronger than the upper rooms.
A sealed and ventilated environment might induce fear in humans, but when greater fears arose outside, a sealed space could instead create an illusory sense of security—this is human nature.
Walking to the fourth-floor conference room, Wen Yu attempted to contact Black Cat and Star, who were outside. However, the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier perfectly isolated all forms of communication, including Wen Yu's mental links.
After some thought, Wen Yu abandoned the mental link and directly waved his hand to activate the fourth soul realm, pulling back Faceless, who was hiding in an unknown corner of the Red Stone Grand Hotel.
By the time Wen Yu completed these actions, he had already arrived at the fourth-floor conference room.
...
The conference room was small but suitable for a small-scale meeting.
Wen Yu sat in the main seat, quietly waiting.
It didn't take long for Arthur to arrive first.
Next, Qin Tian walked in with a pale face, shooing out the sobbing Qin Shiyuan from the small meeting room.
Wen Yu looked Qin Tian up and down; while his injuries seemed to be fine and he had changed into clean clothes, his pale complexion was probably due to the psychological trauma from nearly dying twice over the past couple of days, Wen Yu thought with a hint of "malice."
Soon, Klaus, with Victor perched on his shoulder, also arrived at the small meeting room.
...
"Click."
Klaus pressed a switch on the wall, and the entire room instantly lit up.
The Purple Light Nurturing Barrier had completely sealed off all light sources in Las Vegas, and now the only light source came from the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier—eerie, somewhat bloody, but soft, with decent brightness.
Seeing Klaus and Victor sit down, Wen Yu cleared his throat slightly, first looking at Klaus, then speaking in a serious tone.
"The three of us need to apologize to you and Victor, as well as to all the professionals and mutated beasts who have died in Las Vegas or are about to die."
After saying this, Wen Yu ignored the surprised expressions of everyone and continued, "Strictly speaking, the situation in Las Vegas is related to me, Qin Tian, Arthur, and those outside like Wang Fu Cai and Yang Hong, with the focus being on me and Qin Tian."
Wen Yu paused for a moment.
"The number of demonic creatures invading Las Vegas is not consistent with our original estimates, and the methods and war weapons of these creatures are far beyond what we expected. The main problem lies with us."
"Since Qin Tian and I were dealing with the demonic clan hunting group near the Red Rock Canyon, combined with the numerous strong individuals in the Las Vegas area, we gave the demonic clan the illusion that we are the most powerful gathering in North America. The intelligence I obtained from outside indicates that the vanguard of the demonic creatures invading America—note, the entire American continent!—has concentrated nearly thirty percent of their forces here, so we should take the blame for putting you in this situation."
