In the spacious and bright office, Wen Yu held a wine glass and gazed out the window at the distant scenery.
The window faced east and was at a decent height, allowing a view of about one-third of the eastern city wall of the Beijing gathering area not far away.
It was said that this position used to afford a view of the sunrise...
But with the continuous expansion of the city wall, the once beautiful scenery was no longer in existence.
Even though the soundproofing was not bad, faintly audible from the office was the booming sound of the outside giant cannon, which meant that battles were happening every moment, and death was descending constantly.
Likewise, military professionals were getting stronger every moment!
With the presence of level restraints, the only factors determining combat power were skill combinations and levels, of course, along with foundation level skills or items with limit-breaking abilities.
Wen Yu himself had two and a half—Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, the one-eyed feast, and the soul battlefield counted as half.
Tang Haofei was known to have two types—true god dominance body and life and death battle resolution!
Aside from these, there were no other known life forms in the military...
And here was the main reason why Wen Yu and Tang Haofei could maintain an absolute advantage in combat power!
Wen Yu could sense the bloodthirsty impulse from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, but there was no rush now. A new official had taken office, and it was better to clarify various things first.
...
Sitting on a comfortable and soft sofa, Wen Yu gently sipped high-quality red wine while enjoying fresh and delicious food. He mused about how good the military's treatment was while waving at Fran, who was seated in another direction.
"Join me."
Fran smiled and didn't hesitate—after all, this meal was prepared for both of them.
Casually pulling a chair, Fran sat opposite Wen Yu, her knife and fork transforming into a stream of silver light. Her seemingly elegant and dignified eating movements were surprisingly quick.
Wen Yu suddenly felt a bit of toothache...
If he had known, he wouldn't have held back...
...
After a while, they finished their meal.
Fran lightly clapped her hands, and the personal guard standing at the door respectfully took away the leftover food. Meanwhile, Fran remained seated across from Wen Yu, seemingly waiting for his questions.
Looking into Fran's calm eyes, Wen Yu sighed silently.
This guy in front of him, just at a glance, could tell was a difficult character—not because of combat power but due to experience and life knowledge.
In Wen Yu's mind, someone like this, akin to Lin Haifeng, was even more challenging to deal with than purely strong combat beings...
"Fran, right? I remember you, sequence six..."
Fran nodded with a smile.
...
"I remember you seem to possess time-related abilities?"
Fran nodded in response.
"The usefulness of time-related abilities is immense, such as resurrection or peering into the future... Do you have those?"
Tang Haofei explicitly stated that Fran was very important, and based on Wen Yu's understanding, Fran surely possessed this kind of time-related skills.
For the scale of the Beijing gathering area, such auxiliary skills were far more valuable than purely combat type skills!
Wen Yu's guess was not wrong.
"I can't resurrect, but I do have some insights into the future..." Fran replied with a smile.
Upon hearing Fran's words, Wen Yu immediately became excited.
"Take a look, show me my future, what will happen to me, when will I die?"
The tone might have sounded joking, but looking into Wen Yu's bright eyes, Fran understood he was serious.
Everyone wishes to peek into their own future; it is human nature, stemming from the instinct of life to resist the unknown future, just like ordinary people who prefer to believe in certain prophecies. However...
Fran's abilities were far more reliable than mere fortune-telling!
Watching Wen Yu's earnest eyes, Fran gently nodded.
Slowly closing her eyes...
Unknown energy waves spread like tendrils, piercing into an unknown place.
