The Eastern Emperor's wife displayed a clear look of shock. "You were discovered?"
"Yes. I believed that my arrival on this planet was discreet, that nobody would detect me. But the fact is, the Red Alert Base detected my presence not long after I appeared. They even tried to use this small device to ascertain my identity."
As he spoke, the City Lord took out a small device from his body. It was the tool that Yun Ru had developed to measure an individual's psychic power.
"What is this?" The Eastern Emperor's wife wasn't familiar with it.
"It's a device that can measure psychic power. They clearly underestimated me." With a light chuckle, the City Lord crushed the device into dust and casually tossed it into the wastebin.
"I don't care about the rest. I just want to know the exact time when the plan will commence. I don't have much patience!" The Eastern Emperor's wife said sternly, her gaze fixed on the City Lord.
If the Red Alert Base had managed to discover this individual from an ancient civilization, it was only a matter of time before they found her. Once her plan was exposed, her ambition to destroy humanity would be nearly impossible.
After all, her inherent power wasn't that strong. Without the identity of the Eastern Emperor's wife, many tasks would prove difficult. The Western Emperor would turn a blind eye as long as she didn't cross any lines.
The City Lord glanced out of the window and spoke with a steady tone, "The plan will begin in three days."
After the Eastern Emperor's wife left, the secretary came in. "City Lord, it's time for your speech."
"I'm aware. Let's go."
That night, a dark shadow silently merged with the darkness and soared out of Su City.
"Beast Emperor, do you have a moment?"
As Dahua was deep in slumber, a voice reached its ears, startling it awake.
Dahua opened its eyes, revealing sharp fangs. It was clearly irritated by the sudden disturbance.
"Who's there sneaking around? Show yourself before the Emperor!"
After becoming the Beast Emperor, Dahua's aura became far more intimidating. Ordinary Mutant Beasts instinctively felt fear in its presence.
"Don't be angry, Beast Emperor. I've come to propose a deal."
A shadow stepped out from the darkness. Bathed in the faint moonlight, it was none other than the City Lord of Su City.
Despite being the Beast Emperor, Dahua retained its original hunting dog form. Its eyes stared coldly at the City Lord.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Yuan Yizhong, the current acting City Lord of Su City."
"Su City's City Lord?"
Dahua blinked. Wasn't that city named after the surname of the Commander? What did this City Lord want with him?
It was clear to Dahua that this individual wasn't affiliated with the Red Alert Base, and therefore not an ally. That made things simpler.
"State your purpose."
"Indeed, you're worthy of the title 'Beast Emperor'. I've come mainly to ask...” Yuan Yizhong's lips curled into a cryptic smile, “Do Mutant Beasts truly wish to live under humans?"
Dahua narrowed its eyes, a mysterious light flashing within. "What do you mean?"
"You should understand my meaning, Beast Emperor. Originally, you Mutant Beasts were the masters of Earth. It was humans who stole your paradise, forcing you into servitude. Are you content with this fate?"
"If the Beast Emperor were not Dahua but another Mutant Beast, he might genuinely feel dissatisfied. Unfortunately, he was unaware that the Beast Emperor was one of the forces at the Red Alert Base. The true identity of Dahua was known only to the Red Alert Base and a few Human Emperors. Even the Eastern Emperor's wife had no inkling of this. No one would have imagined that among the Mutant Beasts, the Beast Emperor would turn out to be on the human side.
"Human, this has nothing to do with you!" Dahua let out a deep growl, wearing an expression that revealed his thoughts had been laid bare. If Su Chen were here, he would undoubtedly give Dahua a thumbs up. Perhaps from watching spy performances so often, it seemed that many Red Alert soldiers had acquired a survival skill—acting! At this moment, Dahua's performance was exceptionally perfect.
City Lord's lips curled slightly, and he believed he had guessed correctly. Normally, this was indeed the right way to think, but unfortunately, he was unaware of the connections and made an erroneous judgment.
"Beast Emperor, I've come here to unite with you and overthrow human rule. In the future, Mutant Beasts and Mutants will jointly rule Earth. What do you say?" City Lord said earnestly.
Dahua remained silent, appearing deep in thought. However, City Lord didn't know that Dahua was secretly contacting the Super Soldiers Yuri at the Red Alert Base.
After Su Chen's departure, Yuri, as a Super Soldier capable of using Psychic power, had taken on responsibility for most of the matters concerning the Red Alert Base, with Li Shaolong as his assistant. Boris and Guangtou Qiang were both battle fanatics and had no interest in management matters, so they became hands-off managers.
"Hmm, this is Dahua's contact," Yuri raised an eyebrow. Dahua hadn't contacted them in a long time, so reaching out suddenly meant there was something important.
Yuri wasted no time and immediately opened the map interface, locking onto Dahua's location. Soon, he saw a human standing in front of Dahua.
"Alice, analyze the identity of this person," Yuri called out.
One second later, Alice's voice responded, "Analysis complete. This person is Su City City Lord Yuan Yizhong."
"What?" Yuri was somewhat surprised. Why would Su City City Lord be meeting Dahua late at night? What did this mean?
Yuri, sensing that something was amiss, remained calm and continued to observe.
At this moment, Yuan Yizhong was unaware that he had been betrayed by Dahua. He continued to instigate Dahua to confront humans. To show his sincerity, he even produced something.
"This is a special energy entity born after the death of a Cosmic Behemoth. Just having it nearby can enhance energy absorption efficiency. With the Beast Emperor's strength, efficiency can be increased fivefold!"
Dahua's eyes lit up. This item was an absolute treasure for him.
After a pretended hesitation, Dahua finally agreed.
Yuan Yizhong handed the energy entity to Dahua, bowed slightly, and disappeared into the darkness.
Dahua was a master of acting. Instead of immediately contacting the Red Alert Base, he started using this item for cultivation, perfectly portraying the image of a Beast Emperor who couldn't wait to use a treasure. Only Yuri, through the map, observed that Yuan Yizhong did not leave immediately but observed for a while before departing. (To be continued...)"
