"Alright, you go ahead and handle your business. There’s nothing for you to do here, let me have some quiet."
Under Lin Beichen’s command, Dongchuan Ichiro left the hotel with his people.
Originally, Dongchuan Ichiro intended for Lin Beichen to stay with the Dongchuan Clan. Firstly, he could consult Lin Beichen anytime if something came up. Perhaps even Dongchuan Ichiro himself hadn’t noticed, but he increasingly relied on Lin Beichen, feeling very assured as long as he was by Lin Beichen’s side.
Secondly, it would better guarantee Lin Beichen’s safety. Although Gale and others were around him, Dongchuan Ichiro still felt that his own personnel were more abundant. While they could not win in quality, they could win in quantity.
"You all go rest too. Things will get a bit troublesome next."
After Dongchuan Ichiro left with his people, Lin Beichen waved to Gale and the others.
Gale, who was standing beside, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Electric Flash.
Electric Flash signaled with his eyes to the reflection of Lin Beichen in the mirror, only then did Gale and the others notice the calm expression on Lin Beichen’s face in the mirror. In their impression, it was the first time they had seen Lin Beichen like this.
The few exchanged glances and then left the room.
Only Lin Beichen was left sitting in front of the mirror, feeling as if he were in a different world.
"Is this me?"
"Is this the me right now?"
"Is this the real me now?"
......
...
Lin Beichen kept asking himself such questions in his mind. Ever since he acquired the ability of enlightenment and step by step reached this point, every time he was alone, he always felt a sense of unreality.
No one knew how much time had passed, but Lin Beichen seemed to fall into a state of tranquility, even forgetting what was on his mind, as if his thoughts were drifting into space.
Crack...
Suddenly, a sound of lightning echoed in Lin Beichen’s mind, simultaneously pulling his thoughts back.
"What is this."
Lin Beichen abruptly woke up, only to see a black lightning seal just disappeared from the center of his brows in the mirror.
"Was it my illusion?"
Although he saw it with his own eyes, Lin Beichen still couldn’t be sure what was happening. Lin Beichen then tried to harness the power of the Point Element in his body but received no response.
The black lightning seal that had just disappeared from his brows never appeared again.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Beichen murmured to himself. He had previously tried to enhance the power of the Electric Element but seemed to hit an invisible wall. Thus, Lin Beichen concluded that to enhance the Electric Element, he needed to improve the levels of other Five Elements powers.
Currently, among the Five Elements, only the Gold Element and Fire Element had reached the Third Realm; the Wood Element and Water Element were in the Second Realm, while the Earth Element was in the First Realm.
"It seems there is still a long way to go."
Lin Beichen sighed to himself, but the most important thing now was to elevate the realms of Immortal General Wood and the Water Element. After that, handling the Earth Element would be much easier.
"Ah, Divine Light Country, I didn’t expect to return here again."
Lin Beichen walked to the window again, looking down at the bustling crowd below. The confusion and calm on his face had disappeared, replaced by unwavering determination.
His eyes seemed to emit two beams of light, aiming southeastwards—where the Divine Light Volcano was located.
"Previously, my power was not enough. Now, I want to see if I can awaken the heart of this sleeping volcano with the power of Fire Element, Gold Element, and Electric Element!"
Determined, Lin Beichen returned to his bedroom and took out an entirely black phone from his hand-carry satchel. This phone was provided by Song Xiangdong, equipped with a secure bureau satellite, ensuring that it could not be intercepted by anyone.
After taking out the phone, Lin Beichen dialed Song Xiangdong’s number without any surprises. The call was answered with Song Xiangdong’s cheerful voice.
"We’ve just received news that the personnel list we provided has entered the designated positions. Kid, you really opened my eyes."
Song Xiangdong sounded very pleased on the other side. This was normal since sixty percent of the personnel inserted were from the secure bureau.
They occupied key positions in the Dongchuan Clan, Dongchuan Group, and Dongchuan Business Federation. Even if they couldn’t influence subsequent decisions, they could provide crucial intelligence.
This was the reason why Lin Beichen and his group did not request Dongchuan Ichiro to arrange too many personnel. Only in this way could they deceive their targets, as Lin Beishan was more concerned about the importance of information rather than money.
If they inserted too many personnel, causing dissatisfaction among Dongchuan Ichiro and others, a future purge would lead to significant losses.
"I’m calling you not for this matter."
"No problem, whatever it is, I will agree to it!"
The smooth progress of the matters made Song Xiangdong very happy. Just before Lin Beichen called, Song Xiangdong had received a call from an elder senior official.
The five senior officials lavishly praised Song Xiangdong, making him feel very comfortable inside!
