However, looking into Ji Chen’s eyes, there was not as much resentment as before.

This wasn’t the first time she was surprised by this Lord of Glory. Previously, she thought he left Feiguang City out of fear or something similar. But she hadn’t expected that he wanted to entangle many Lords of Glory from the Bass Kingdom.

In fact, Ji Chen also achieved the purpose of this action, successfully delaying the defense of Feiguang City for a few days, directly or indirectly leading to the Bass Kingdom’s comprehensive retreat.

In reality, she was the only outsider who knew that Ji Chen hadn’t gone all out in that battle. If he wanted to, he could have retreated into the ocean, using the advantage of aquatic troops to annihilate the pursuing enemy, instead of stubbornly defending.

And the several heroic units accompanying him were each more powerful than the last.

The Naga hero on the surface was the strongest, even Katie couldn’t see through his true strength and heroic tier.

The hero of an unknown race named Alice appeared fragile, but the sense of danger she brought was the most obvious.

The Murloc hero named Benbo was not to be underestimated either, displaying a dragon-like aura with every move, and the bump on his head hinted at his unusual bloodline.

And then there was the powerful little girl who resembled a whale…

In Katie’s several months of observation among the Lords of Glory, none of them possessed such powerful heroic units and armies. There was a clear gap in strength between Ji Chen and the other Lords of Glory.

Katie couldn’t help but feel curious.

What was the reason behind this significant strength gap?

Of course, this curiosity vanished instantly after she fell on her butt, leaving only resentment.

I am a Revered Envoy, a high-ranking captive. How dare you treat me like this!?

When I return to the organization, I’ll bring a million-strong army to crush you!

Ignoring her displeasure, Ji Chen asked directly, “Why did you drive the Bass Kingdom to start this war?”

Katie sneered. “Do you think I’ll tell you?”

Ji Chen glanced at her and revealed a gentle smile.

Katie felt a strong sense of unease creeping over her. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a pair of hands on her head.

Turning her head, she saw the hero named Alice staring at her coldly.

“Alice is a Siren, born with the power to manipulate minds. I believe she can see what you have hidden in your mind.”

Katie was left in shock, feeling like a tidal wave had washed over her as her mind raced with fear and uncertainty.

She tried guessing what race Alice was, but she had never expected her to be a Siren!

Sirens, the legendary deep-sea mythical race, were rarer than a handful of rare gems and they hadn’t been seen by the world for more than a thousand years.

And you’re telling her there’s one right in front of her?

Is this some kind of a joke?

Seeing the depth in Alice’s eyes, a power that seemed to penetrate the soul, Katie involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

She knew that once her mind was forcibly invaded, her soul might not be destroyed, but there was a high probability she would become a simpleton.

But when she thought of her faith in the organization and her vows, she hesitated once again.

Ji Chen seized this opportunity and calmly said, “I’m not interested in what you Deceivers do. 1 only want information about the Bass Kingdom and this war.

As long as I get enough information, letting you go is not impossible. You probably know that my territory is located on a remote island in the open sea.

If 1 were to capture you and take you there, you might spend the rest of your life locked in a cage.”

Ji Chen’s words made Katie’s expression tremble slightly, just the thought of that possibility was infinitely repulsive to her.

Her mind wavered in an instant.

Anyway, it’s just about the Bass Kingdom, and sharing some information shouldn’t be a big deal… right?

After a long silence, she finally spoke, “What do you want to know?”

Ji Chen raised a smile and quickly asked the first question, “Did you control the Bass Kingdom’s king through some means, causing him to launch this war?”

“…Isn’t that related to us?”

“Answer quickly, or the consequences will be severe,” Ji Chen said with an unmistakable tone.

Katie froze and then fell into silence.

Seeing her reaction, Ji Chen immediately understood.

He then asked the second question, “Does the Bass Kingdom have any hidden moves? Something that could completely change the situation?”

Katie hesitated for a moment and replied, “As far as 1 know, the Bass Kingdom has a secret army inherited from the previous king, numbering around ten thousand troops, and their strength is unknown, but at least at Tier 5, 7 stars or higher.”

Ji Chen’s eyebrows twitched.

A secret army of around ten thousand troops, at least at Tier 5, 7 stars or higher. This was a force that couldn’t be ignored, and it might have unimaginable impact at certain moments.

“Next question…”

Ji Chen asked four or five more questions, none of which were related to the Deceivers, making Katie’s complexion improve considerably. At least it wouldn’t force her to choose between becoming a simpleton or betraying the organization.

However, she didn’t realize that, under this deliberate conditioning, her moral boundaries were gradually lowering.

From the initial firm stance of not saying anything, it gradually turned into a firm refusal to divulge anything about the organization.

Ji Chen observed all of this and nodded in approval.

After asking the final question, he knew better than to press further.

Pushing too hard would only awaken Katie’s awareness, making it lose its meaning. To fully exploit her last ounce of value, she needed to fall completely into depravity.

Ji Chen didn’t make things difficult and simply instructed Anina to continue watching Katie. Then, he left the place.

The next day, Ji Chen met with Wang Shanyue. As soon as they saw each other, Wang Shanyue warmly greeted him with excitement on his face.

“Big Bro Ji Chen, no, Islander, you really kept me in the dark!”

Ji Chen paused slightly, knowing that Wang Shanyue had found out through other sources, and replied, “1 didn’t deliberately hide it; you just didn’t ask.”

Wang Shanyue jokingly scolded, “Am 1 supposed to ask every random solo player I meet if they’re the Islander?”

After some small talk, they got down to business.

“Thanks to you, Ji Chen, that daughter of the Grand Duke sent a mission to our Shanyue Guild this morning.

The mission is to follow the Reinhardt army and launch a counterattack on the Bass Kingdom’s mainland.”

It seemed that this war was far from over. However, this was in line with the interests of the players. If the two countries had stopped fighting, they wouldn’t have benefited from it.

Players from both the Bass Kingdom camp and the Reinhardt camp didn’t want the conflict to end, especially Wang Shanyue, who had brought three million troops into the field.

Ji Chen was about to say something when a familiar voice reached their ears.

“Lord Ji Chen, good morning.”

They turned to see Monica approaching with a large group of maids and servants.

Ji Chen casually greeted her, but Wang Shanyue was more respectful in his response.

“Monica, 1 heard that you’re about to sound the horn for a counteroffensive?”

“Yes.” Monica nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “The Thorey Kingdom and the Pelan Kingdom have already pressed their armies to our borders. Once we finish our preparations, the three countries will collectively attack the Bass Kingdom and teach those ambitious invaders a lesson.”

She blinked her big, innocent eyes and asked softly, “Lord Ji Chen, will you continue to help us?”

Ji Chen smiled confidently and said, “Of course, there are still some matters to be clarified between me, the Bass Kingdom, and the Deceivers.”

Monica’s face lit up with a smile, and she clenched her small fist with determination. “That’s great! With your assistance, we have even more confidence.”

Ji Chen’s strength was well-known, and even the Reinhardt Grand Duchy couldn’t ignore such a force.

Especially when Feiguang City was first besieged, those who had witnessed him in action couldn’t possibly forget the scene of him summoning massive waves that swept away tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.

Ji Chen’s power as an individual was equivalent to the strength of several tens of thousands of troops. This statement was by no means an exaggeration..
