Chapter 5802
5802 Who is master Pao?
“Right, how many of the higher-ups are there on Sky Class Island?” Lin Yi wanted to get to know the central power structure of this place, so it would be easier for him to deal with them in the future.
“Boss, I’m not sure about that. It’s always been that mysterious Man in Black contacting us. I mean, the Nakajima district’s special envoy isn’t even close to being in the central circle.” Pinliang smiled bitterly.
Lin Yi nodded-this was normal. If pinliang had been able to make it into the core of central in such a short time, it’d only mean that he was suited to work for them. It’d be better for him to join them as soon as possible.
“Then you should know what central has been doing recently, right?” Lin Yi decided to settle for the next best thing-the problem should be a lot simpler. With Zhong pinliang’s identity as the Nakagama Island Special envoy, even if he couldn’t directly participate in the core of the plan, he had to at least be able to cooperate.
It was easy to find some clues from those clues and deduce what central wanted to do.
Pinliang said after some thought,”as for their movements … I heard that central has a plan for the South Island or something. I’m not too sure about the details, but the mysterious man in Black and master Pao are in charge of it. I didn’t get much information.”
“Master Pao? Who’s there?” Lin Yi asked, confused. This person might be a key figure in central-it’d be great if he knew more about him.
“I’m not too sure,”pinliang shrugged.”I’ve only seen him once, wearing a hooded cloak and a black face cloth. I was thinking if he was Pao, but he didn’t say anything, so I didn’t dare to think too much.”
Lin Yi’s heart jumped-it was a possibility, but there was no rush. He’d look into it later-if master Pao really was Zhang naipao, pinliang might be able to reverse the situation.
Speaking of which, Zhong pinliang’s authority as Nakajima’s special envoy was a little too low. He didn’t have much useful information, but he hadn’t been in central for long. It was already hard for him to rise up the ranks, so he shouldn’t have too many requests.
“Boss, there are no more problems with the letter you wanted to send. I specifically asked the people above and said that you and central have reached a one-year non-aggression agreement, as well as the opening of the wormhole pathway and research rights to you. We’ll just stay out of each other’s business and develop on our own, so if there’s anything we need to teleport, we can do it at any time. ” Pinliang didn’t say much about Pao and turned back to Lin Yi’s letter.
Lin Yi nodded casually. He should’ve informed the people of Sky Class Island about the agreement with central already, but pinliang didn’t know about it until now. It seemed that pinliang was only a high-ranked special envoy on the surface, but he was still an outer member.
Pinliang paused for a second before asking,”Boss, why do we have to sign a one-year armistice agreement with central? If the southern island Plan is carried out and you want to destroy it, wouldn’t that be the same as tearing up the truce agreement?”
Lin Yi blinked as he turned to pinliang.”So you’re saying that the agreement between central and I includes the Sky Class Island?”
“Isn’t that so?” Pinliang didn’t know what was going on-that should be what the higher-ups were saying, but Lin Yi didn’t seem to think so.
Lin Yi smacked his forehead,”I get it now, it’s really that woman LAN xiaoru’s fault!” Her agreement didn’t state whether it was the common world or Sky Class Island, only between central and me, which naturally included all the places! She probably just wants me to go back to Sky Class Island, so she can’t just get in my way, right?”
Han Jingjing had already carefully found a hidden loophole in the agreement. She did not expect there to be another one here. However, she could not be blamed for this. Perhaps han Jingjing did not think that there would be any problems with a total truce with central for a year.
This was all because of the information imbalance. If han Jingjing had known about the South Island Plan in the center of Sky Class Island, she would have suggested a one-year period only for the secular world.
Pinliang said, understanding the situation.”Boss, central has been trying so hard to get you not to interfere with their plan. It’s obvious that this is very important to them. It’s fine if you don’t want that agreement. You must not let central do what they want smoothly!”
Lin Yi nodded,”you’re right, but since it’s been set, I have to follow it. Although neither of us really care about this agreement, I won’t be the first to go back on my word!”
“Then what should we do?” Pinliang didn’t think it was a big deal to tear up the agreement, but Lin Yi had to keep his promise. Pinliang would only respect Lin Yi more, and only people like him were worthy of his loyalty. People like Kang Zhaoming, who treated promises like farts, would never be trusted.
Lin Yi didn’t answer immediately, but closed his eyes to think. After a while, he smiled faintly.”We won’t take the initiative to tear up the agreement, but if central makes the first move, I won’t have anything to worry about!”
Pinliang’s eyes lit up as he laughed, “It’s boss indeed! That’s right! We can just let central tear up the agreement!”
Now that he knew that central had a plan for the South Island, Lin Yi only needed to set up his plan there first. Central would definitely have a conflict with him because of this, and he could say that central tore up the agreement. It was the truth, too.
The only thing to worry about was the southern part of the island. Lin Yi would have a 90% chance of escaping if he went there, and who knew what would happen if he went back and started his plan? The spirit beasts weren’t easy to deal with, especially the Vermilion Bird. Lin Yi knew that he was no match for the Vermilion Bird at his current level, and he could be killed easily if he was discovered.
Pinliang patted his chest before Lin Yi could say anything.”Boss, don’t worry. Regarding the southern island Plan, I will definitely speed up the investigation. As long as we have the detailed location and target, it will be much more convenient for us to prepare in advance. When the time comes, it won’t be us who’ll cause trouble, but central who’ll cause trouble for us!”
“Good! However, you must pay attention to your own safety. You can’t expose yourself for the sake of getting information. Remember this, haste makes waste!” Lin Yi said seriously. Pinliang’s safety had to be taken into consideration if the guy was serious about following him.
