Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

Chapter 111 Overseas Intelligence

Jiang Fan felt his aunt's breath almost touching his face, and before he could do anything else, the woman brushed his nose.

Xu He then opened his arms and hugged Jiang Fan tightly.

"You've gotten a lot more handsome, you brat."

Listening to his aunt's whispers in his ear, Jiang Fan felt his whole body stiffen.

Lately, his aunt has been acting a little strange to him, or rather, he himself is acting a little strange.

Surely not? Is it because I play games with beautiful girls every day that I'm feeling a bit depressed?

Li Xiuyi, Li Xiuyi, it's all your fault, you're so useless.

But my aunt's embrace was still quite warm, soft and big, and...

Seemingly noticing Jiang Fan's unusual behavior, Xia He smiled smugly, revealing a crescent shape, before releasing him.

"Why aren't you hugging me anymore?"

Jiang Fan said, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"Hmph, you didn't even call me 'Auntie,' that's naughty."

Xu He sat back down in her seat, her voice sounding mature and alluring.

A woman's twenties are the most beautiful time of her life, a blend of youthful innocence and maturity, like a flawless fruit, the first bite of which is crisp and sweet.

Jiang Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart; this was his aunt.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. I still have a lot to do since I got back. I'm exhausted today. Let's go home quickly."

Xu He stretched in the passenger seat and let out a suggestive hum.

"Aren't you going to see Grandpa this time? How is his health?"

Jiang Fan looked at his aunt's stunning profile and asked.

"The old man is in good health, but his mind isn't working very well. He introduced me to several of his business partners' sons, which made me so angry that I went back to California that very day."

Xu He snorted coldly, clearly showing that she was indeed very angry.

"Um...yes, I think Grandpa is getting senile."

Jiang Fan nodded fiercely. He felt no affection for that old man whatsoever, and now he wanted to take his aunt away as well, which was simply unforgivable.

Xu He chuckled upon hearing this, then parted her red lips slightly.

"I rarely hear you speak ill of others, but I do need to deal with things over there. Several international foundations have commissioned me to sign contracts with them through domestic companies to arrange for people to enter Jingchu."

Jiang Fan was not surprised to hear this, or rather, although surprised, it was reasonable.

As expected, the strange phenomena occurring in Wushan and Yunmengze have attracted the attention of those extraordinary forces from abroad.

As for the Boundless Covenant, it has been lurking around the world, but it does not possess strong organization and combat capabilities, so it will not become Jiang Fan's target.

"I heard from people in the bureau that there has been a lot of flooding in Jingchu recently, and many monsters have appeared. I hope it won't affect us."

Jiang Fan said.

"No, it's just a normal business transaction, but I'm not really keen on agreeing."

Xu He sighed. She couldn't make the decision herself, after all, she was still a member of the board of directors of Xu's Genting Group, the chairman of the overseas strategic investment committee, and the executive partner of the Genting family office.

In short, she has a whole bunch of titles on her head, which allow her to allocate money, personnel, and resources, without having to worry about the trivialities of the group's daily operations.

To outsiders, she would only appear to be a wealthy heiress and a highly capable female CEO.

These resources did indeed help Xu He start from a high level in the early stages of establishing [Moon Crown], allowing her to avoid compromising anything, and the members all met her expectations.

However, these titles are no longer so important to Xu He. The [Lunar Crown] has now become a sharp knife hanging over the heads of people all over the world, and wealth is just something within reach.

As long as [Lunar Crown] slightly opens her red lips, countless resources and manpower from all over the world will serve her.

Therefore, Xu He is no longer so concerned about the group's affairs, and does not want to disturb her and Jiang Fan's aunt-nephew relationship.

"Aren't you going to pay?"

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, what if those foreign supernatural forces can't get in if we don't give them money? We don't even have this much funding.

Without these wild Pokémon, his selection range for catching them would be much smaller.

Jiang Fan was already debating whether to choose the beauty from Somalia or the Greek mythology.

"One foundation is worth about 200 million, settled in US dollars. However, some are considering bonds. In short, we need to negotiate with many companies. It's not too much trouble, but it does take some time."

Xu He's casual remark almost sent Jiang Fan soaring to the heavens.

Holy crap! Two hundred million! And from the same company!

What an extravagant gesture! How much money did you actually give to foreigners back then, Empress Dowager Cixi?

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat. Come to think of it, the [Divine Tower] seemed to have always lived a very frugal life.

Rias is still using the money called "Silver Fox" to buy discounted food at night, and even her clothes are hand-me-downs from others.

It does fit quite well, though.

Li Xiuyi's shop was also opened up by the ghost who swindled people at night. If that little devil hadn't gone around scaring the rich people at night, they would still be using that broken table that couldn't even be leveled when you put water in it.

As for Ni Yao and Yin Panqing, that goes without saying.

People generally believe that the Divine Tower is detached from worldly affairs, rarely appears, and is a mysterious, secretive organization.

In reality, Jiang Fan was so poor that he couldn't even afford one lipstick from his aunt with a month's salary.

"Two hundred million per family?"

Jiang Fan confirmed it again.

Xu He hummed in agreement.

"Yes, several companies want to deposit tens of millions into my personal account. If you want, you can use your account."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan quickly shook his head.

"No, no, I'm afraid someone will put a bag over my head and kidnap me."

"With my aunt here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xu He chuckled, delighted by Jiang Fan's reaction.

She certainly knew who the organizations behind these international capitals were, but they didn't know her; they only regarded her as someone accessible in the secular world.

If we don't let [City on the Mountain] and [Court of Judgment] in, although they are not without a way to get to Jingchu, they will still be significantly hampered on the surface.

After all, Tai'a was still number one in the world in last year's power rankings, followed by Xingming, then Emilia's City on the Mountain, India's Sumeru... and only in sixth place were Europe's Tribunal and Russia's Viles Ring.

In the early stages, all the major civilizations around the world chose to place all their hopes on the strongest group of people, a trend started by [Tai'a].

This is an organization that surpasses the current version. If an outside organization wants to get involved in the internal affairs of the Xia Kingdom, it is absolutely necessary to consider whether [Tai'a] will be angered.

They were a group of people who went to great lengths to uphold the true meaning of history.

Even the two sisters of [Lunar Corona] who obtained the Mythical Sequence might not be able to defeat her without a doubt.

Xu He knew that Jiang Fan had a secret, but she didn't care. The reason for this indifference was that [Moon Crown] now had the ability to defeat first-class forces such as [Tai'a] on paper.

The only thing that worried her was her "astrological destiny".

[Star Destiny] is suspected to possess a terrifying mythological sequence, not a minor or peripheral deity in mythology, but an existence capable of occupying a central position in mythology.

If it truly exists, then all current sequential organizations combined would be unable to withstand it.

However, such a sequence would place great demands on the human being and cause significant mutations, so it's not entirely without a chance.

Perhaps the strange phenomenon in Yunmengze will help her answer this question.

Looking at his aunt's pensive profile, Jiang Fan suddenly realized that there would be two people in the apartment tonight.

A man and a woman alone together in a room...

How can he play games then?

"Richard, Don Quixote and Joan of Arc will be going with you this time, along with the Second Execution Team of Saint Thorn. Merlin will be providing remote assistance from Glastonbury. Remember to bring those magic stones."

Inside a church filled with a sacred atmosphere, a man whose face is obscured sits on a wooden chair at the front, arranging for the [Court of Arbitration] to participate in the Xia Kingdom mythology revival event.

Unlike top-tier organizations in other countries, the Tribunal has a very large membership. Apart from the official members who serve as the core combat force, it is composed of the main combat force, such as the Saint Thorn, who are deployed in teams of fifteen.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister oversees the affairs of most European countries, and there is no other top-tier organization in Europe that can rival them. Even among other official organizations, their strength is relatively weak.

The reason why the Tribunal was able to do this was largely due to this Odysseus.

His sequencing abilities can obscure your perception and understanding of him even in face-to-face situations, and his intellect and cunning far surpass those of ordinary political and business geniuses.

"Also, bring back King Arthur. I've used a 'Trojan horse' to put everything we need into your devices. She's the core of the connection to Celtic mythology. If the Norse mission fails, we'll at least have a backup plan."

Odysseus can conceal danger within a seemingly harmless vessel.

For example, relief supplies, medical kits, surveying instruments, drone equipment—anything that can be brought to Xia Kingdom can be concealed to completely circumvent official inspections by Xia Kingdom.

Is Don Quixote going too? He doesn't seem to be very capable.

Richard scratched his head.

"The others will sneak in secretly; I'll let you know the details later."

Odysseus was also somewhat speechless. People from the Lionheart and Joan of Arc factions were too pious and upright, making them more useful for drawing attention and drawing fire.

His goal can only be accomplished by those few sequences.

"Okay, but have we come up with a pretext for going in with such fanfare?"

Richard also noticed Odysseus's speechlessness, but the Tribunal also recognized his ideas, so it was alright.

"The situation at [City on the Mountain] has been resolved. A Chinese group entered the disaster relief effort through the Saint Thorn Foundation."

Odysseus had already assumed that they would agree, since a price of two hundred million US dollars would be hard for anyone to refuse.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Richard raised his head high and placed his right fist in front of his chest.

"May you return victorious, Lionheart."

Odysseus also stood up and bowed to Richard.

Meanwhile, Emily was far away on the other side of the ocean.

The TurtleBay private foundation building, located in Midtown East, Manhattan, near the United Nations headquarters.

From the top-floor conference room here, you can overlook the United Nations Headquarters, the East River, and the night view of Queens.

The conference room has a full-length window facing the Donghe River.

There was no national flag on the wall, only the logo of the White Tower Future Foundation: a tall white tower reaching upwards, its top surrounded by stars.

A holographic projection is located in the center of the conference table.

The projection wasn't a financial statement, but a satellite image of Hubei province.

The white mist over Yunmengze expanded, layer upon layer covering the modern map.

Sitting in the conference room was a group of white men who looked like business elites. Their expressions varied, and they did not appear to be a coordinated group.

"The ancient water system has been revived, and from it gods have been born."

"It seems that the advantage of our 'Angel' and 'Demon' sequences cannot guarantee victory forever."

The man sitting at the head of the table had a full head of white hair, but his face was very young and handsome, and he had a pair of white wings folded behind him.

"【Ariel】, 【City on the Mountain】 only sent you alone to come with us?"

On the right, a middle-aged man wearing a "Mayflower Boat" badge complained.

"Is there anything the Bradford family is unhappy about?"

[Ariel] said, flipping his hand over, his tone indifferent.

"Of course we're not satisfied. Every year we invest enough to buy half of the export port for [City on the Mountain]. Now, with such a crucial opportunity, why aren't we going all out?"

Elias Bradford uttered a question laced with foam.

"Indeed."

"That's what we think too, after all..."

"After all, this is the country where [Tai'a] is located. Although we have many powerful Sequence Users, we are still far from being the top ones."

Rockland, Winslet, and members of the Astwell family also chimed in.

"The emergence of the mythological sequence is a very important matter."

Their goal has always been to plunder sequences from all over the world, regardless of the myths, legends, or history of any civilization, as long as a sequence can be awakened, they must obtain it.

"Because... I'm enough on my own."

[Ariel] chuckled and stood up.

"Ariel, one of the three chief administrators of the City on the Mountain, is an angel who governs the harmony between nature, wind, water boundaries, beasts, and divine order. He is a fourth-order ascendant angel who is about to touch the gates of God."

The white-haired man raised his arms, and a fierce wind swept across the entire building, causing clouds to gather.

According to the original text, Ariel is not an explicitly registered angel name in the Bible; rather, he is a symbolic name for Jerusalem, the altar, and similar places.

However, in later mysticism, Kabbalah, and angelology, Ariel was developed into an angel associated with protecting the boundaries of nature.

This is precisely what makes them special. Angels' power comes from God, and apart from seraphim such as Michael, the strength of these angels, who appear due to elemental symbols, is close to that of myths and legends.

Every angel possesses such great power.

"I will shatter the future of [Tai'a]."

[Ariel] suddenly calmed down and said with a cold laugh.
