At the opening ceremony, I transformed into Time King and manifested my divine power before everyone

At the same time, on the other side.

A group of oddballs are also having a meeting.

Among them were Lin Xiang and Bao Qing, who had clashed with Ye Feng.

The person leading this meeting was a middle-aged man.

He shouted.

No one knows his identity or past.

All that is known is that he was one of the founding members of the Orphnoch pro-war faction.

He has a long tenure.

He held high prestige within the Orphino hawks and was a leading figure.

At the same time, it also manages all the Orphnochs in the mountain city area.

Lin Xiang and Bao Qing were recruited by him.

He also chaired today's meeting.

"Everyone, you must all already know about Lin Xiang's failed attempt to steal the power of Kamen Rider Zi-O," Xiao said calmly.

Baoqing and Lin Xiang had a good relationship. Upon hearing Xiao's words, he immediately stood up to help Lin Xiang out of the predicament: "Let me say this first, the responsibility for this defeat does not lie with Lin Xiang. I watched the whole battle. It was just that Zi-O's power was too strong, and Lin Xiang simply couldn't beat him."

A young man sitting opposite Baoqing and Lin Xiang said, "If you don't have the strength, you don't have the strength. Don't make so many excuses. If it were me, I would have captured Kamen Rider Zi-O in no time."

The young man's name was Cao Jia. Like Lin Xiang and Bao Qing, he was also a leading figure of the new generation of the Orphino pro-war faction.

However, he didn't get along well with either of them.

He always wanted to outdo the two of them.

Lin Xiang wasn't exactly known for his good temper either. When the other person confronted him, he immediately stood up and retaliated.

"Alright, since you're so confident, then go ahead. If you can snatch the power from Zi-O, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you. Go ahead, go ahead."

"I..." Cao Jia panicked immediately.

He was just joking.

In terms of actual strength, he knew in his heart that he was no stronger than Lin Xiang.

Even Lin Xiang couldn't beat Zi-O and almost died at Zi-O's hands. If you go yourself, what's the difference between that and courting death?

"Alright, that's enough, stop arguing!"

Fortunately, Xiao stepped in and helped Cao Jia out of the awkward situation.

Cao Jia, seizing the opportunity, said, "For Lord Xiao's sake, I won't mess around with you!"

Lin Xiang was too lazy to waste any more words on Cao Jia, a good-for-nothing who only spouted empty talk, and sat down.

Xiao continued, "I'm not trying to criticize Lin Xiang. Everyone here knows Lin Xiang's strength; even he's no match for Zi-O. It would be very difficult for us to forcibly seize Zi-O's power. Therefore, I plan to change our strategy and outsmart Zi-O!"

"Outsmart them? How do we outsmart them?" someone asked.

Xiao turned to Baoqing: "Baoqing... Ye Feng, the user of Zi-O, has a very close relationship with your sister Xie Xiaoxiao, you know that, right?"

Baoqing's surname is Xie, and his full name is Xie Baoqing.

He was Xie Xiaoxiao's older brother who died in an accident.

However, after his death, he was fortunate enough to awaken as an Orphnoch and be reborn.

But because of this, he could never return to his former family or his sister's side.

Kashu Technology has a close and in-depth cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Once he goes back...

S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely discover his Orphnoch identity.

In addition, the Xie family and S.H.I.E.L.D. already have conflicts.

Given S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tough style of doing things.

Once it was discovered that he was still alive.

He will most likely face the fate of being hunted down.

And it was during this time of confusion that he found himself lost.

They happened to run into Xiao.

At Xiao's invitation, Xie Baoqing joined the Orphino pro-war faction and became a core member.

Although he was far away from his sister, he kept a close eye on her movements.

He knew very well who his sister was around and who she was close to.

"I know they are classmates." Xie Baoqing could not deny it and could only admit it.

Xiao added, "As far as I know, they're not just ordinary classmates. Your sister has chosen to lead the entire Kasshu Corporation to side with Zi-O! She's breaking with S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"What? Xiaoxiao broke with S.H.I.E.L.D. with Kasshu Technology? And even sided with Zi-O?"

Xie Baoqing was unaware of this matter. Upon learning it, he was shocked and panicked.

In his view.

Zi-O does have some strength.

But compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., it's undoubtedly a drop in the ocean.

Xie Xiaoxiao's choice of sides could very well lead her to her doom.

"You really don't know?" Xiao squinted at Xie Baoqing.

Xie Baoqing quickly explained, "Ever since I brought Lin Xiang back, I've been staying with him to help him recover. I really don't know what's going on outside."

That statement doesn't seem to have any flaws.

Xiao nodded slightly, indicating that he believed Xie Baoqing's words.

"Since Zi-O and your sister are close, then through your sister's connection, it's very easy for you to get close to Zi-O now, so..."

Xie Baoqing wasn't stupid; before Xiao could even finish speaking, he had already guessed what the other person was thinking.

"So you want to send me back to find an opportunity to secretly steal Zi-O's power?"

"Yes, that's exactly right."

Xie Baoqing shook his head solemnly: "Impossible."

"What? As an Orphnoch, don't you want to contribute to the revival of the Orphnoch race?"

Upon hearing this, the others stared at Xie Baoqing with strange expressions.

Could this kid be a traitor?

At this point, if Xie Baoqing said the wrong thing, he could be killed by someone else.

Therefore, Xie Baoqing did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly explained to everyone: "No, what I mean is that this plan cannot succeed. After the last attack, Ye Feng will definitely be very wary of all Orphino and will not give me a chance to get close to him. At most, he may not kill me because of my sister."

"That's true... I overlooked that detail." Xiao's expression improved slightly. "However, we still can't give up on seizing Zi-O's power..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the person at the very end of the room.

"Thai Tiger".

"exist."

"You're an expert at petty theft. Why don't you try to steal the Zi-O Driver?"

"Huh? Me?"

"You are Gecko Orphnoch, capable of perfectly blending into your surroundings, even more effectively than invisibility. You definitely have a chance to get close to Zi-O. I believe in your abilities."

"Um... I'll try my best..."

Taihu reluctantly accepted the task.

With the matter settled, everyone left.

Xie Baoqing and Lin Xiang arrived at a secluded corner.

"Baoqing, what are you thinking?" Lin Xiang asked.

"What? What are you thinking?" Xie Baoqing was taken aback.

"Hmph!" Lin Xiang snorted: "Stop playing dumb with me. Don't tell me you don't have any other thoughts about your sister and Zi-O. Your sister chose to side with Zi-O and break with S.H.I.E.L.D. If anything happens to Zi-O, your sister is finished too. I don't believe you can watch your sister die."

Lin Xiang had read her mind.

Xie Baoqing simply stopped pretending.

His face was etched with worry.

"I don't know either."
