Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 739: Chapter 737: Blinding (Extra for Alliance Leader “Jie Qunte” 1/2)_1 Chapter 739: Chapter 737: Blinding (Extra for Alliance Leader “Jie Qunte” 1/2)_1 Emperor Yasui is here in person?

Quietly appearing, an existence that even two demigods can hardly detect, seems like it can only be a Divine Envoy.

After all this roundabout thinking, was my judgment still correct?

It really drew out a higher-level figure, even directly to the top.

Although the leap is a bit big, in some sense, it’s more reasonable than Asao Sakura coming over again.

Fu Qian seemed to see a slippery, sticky invisible snake coiled around, ready to strike a lethal blow at any moment.

However, we can’t be one hundred percent sure it’s Yasui Tokiyuki right now, and there’s another problem—how did they do it?

Based on previous experience, the gap between a Divine Envoy and a demigod shouldn’t be so exaggerated.

Moreover, Su Gao and my perception abilities are definitely top-notch.

Yet, the fact stands before us, none of the three people in the room have detected its presence until now, and I am merely speculating.

The most peculiar case is Su Gao; obviously, she isn’t subjectively aware of it, otherwise, she would have definitely found a way to hint at me.

But due to the special nature of her ability, her body still instinctively reacted, such as her presence weakening, like the subconscious defensive action taken after being attacked.

“Forgive my candor,”

Thinking this, Fu Qian cleared his throat, ready to make a concluding statement.

“The promises made earlier, shouldn’t they be made by Lady Asao instead?”

This statement had a simple meaning, that being your level isn’t convincing enough to make such promises.

“Mr. Darcy makes a good point, indeed I am not qualified to make such promises,”

Considering the contradiction that had just perplexed her, Asao Sakura’s demeanor was even more cautious, and she showed no exception to the disdain in Fu Qian’s words.

“But I am very certain that someone within Yasui Corp with sufficient authority would be willing to make such a commitment if you two are interested.”

“Sufficient authority? Who? Yasui Tokiyuki?”

Fu Qian harrumphed, rudely invoking Emperor Yasui’s name.

“I have not yet received any notification about such a possibility,”

Asao Sakura was momentarily at a loss for words, carefully formulating her response.

“Is it because you’ve concluded that it’s not yet serious to that extent, right?”

A muffled cold laugh escaped from beneath Fu Qian’s mask.

“I understand, then we’ll wait until you think the situation is serious enough!”

Is he hinting at something?

Fu Qian’s words made Asao Sakura’s heart flutter with anxiety.

That’s right, in her view, the situation might be serious, but it was still not serious enough to alarm Emperor Yasui.

Most importantly, the executive currently in charge of the matter also thought so.

But the recent revelation had started to make her heart beat with doubt.

…

Is it really strong to that extent?

At the same time, Fu Qian was wondering as well.

The words he had just spoken, seemingly chiding Asao Sakura, were actually intended for the hidden Yasui Tokiyuki to hear.

Given that the speculation was rather terrifying, it needed to be confirmed immediately.

The worst possibility is that Emperor Yasui is comfortably sitting here, casually observing, and I’m completely oblivious to it.

This means extreme danger, as Su Gao and I could face an unexpected strike from a Divine Envoy level presence at any moment.

But at the same time, Fu Qian still held one doubt.

After becoming a Demigod, perception had transcended the simple five senses, becoming more abstract. It was like those nuisance calls one received in the real world or even muttering to oneself in one’s mind—they would all be perceived.

Therefore, it was hard to imagine how a Divine Envoy could deceive two Demigods to such an extent unilaterally.

Could it be that the creature had not observed him at all and thus reduced the chance of being discovered by him?

After all, according to previous intelligence, Su Gao was the peak Fourth Phase powerhouse behind the scenes, and he was just a tool.

In any case, the situation had to be confirmed immediately, especially if it were the first case, which would be terrifyingly inconspicuous.

And to differentiate between these two situations, Fu Qian’s first move was “Come at me.”

No matter how much one might ignore, being called out by name should at least warrant a glance, right?

Last time, Ariel, as a Second Phase, had failed to see through the mask given by the Witch.

Even if that person had some way of making himself unobservable, the difficulty of discerning his real tier would certainly be greater than Su Gao’s.

When that time came, it might cost them more effort, and perhaps he could observe something in reverse.

From this perspective, his preparations had some use after all.

Unfortunately, despite tossing out bait and waiting until now, there was still no response whatsoever.

Could it really be the first case?

Fu Qian silently captured the Pseudo-Divine Being, ready to transform at any sign of trouble.

With tier suppression, he was not without similar methods, but they came at a cost.

This cost was not just 10 SAN Points; it very likely would blow his cover as well.

And that meant for his trip to Ye Island, if he wanted to make further gains, he’d have to resort to physical means.

But these were trifles.

If the opponent struck, they were most likely to target Su Gao first.

The safety of volunteers must be ensured.

Naturally, there was one last possibility—that he was overthinking everything and had actually been pitting his wits against thin air the whole time.

No one was lurking nearby; Su Gao was just groggy from his nap.

This thought appeared in his mind for a split second before being immediately dismissed.

Such speculation was pointless.

Following this train of thought, one might also wonder if the other party was intentionally unresponsive, just to make him think he was dueling with the air.

Real men never easily deny themselves—not even their speculations.

…

“Mr. Darcy misunderstood; the message has not yet reached that level, that’s all,”

“In fact, no matter who relays it, a promise from Yasui Corp is never broken. Lady Violetta should be aware of this as well,”

On Asao Sakura’s end, the light-hearted conversation continued, even attempting to bring Su Gao into the dialogue.

“So, what constitutes an official promise from Yasui Corp?”

Finally breaking her silence, Su Gao spoke up, seeming completely lucid.

The situation appeared stable for the moment. Starting from the top, was there anything he had overlooked?

Seeing this, Fu Qian, while fondling the Pseudo-Divine Being and ready to activate it at any moment, thought rapidly.

This might help deduce how the other party had achieved what they had so far.

Wait a second, speaking of abnormalities, Asao Sakura’s reason for coming today was a bit far-fetched. The persuasion, although eloquent, was essentially meaningless…

Did she have another purpose? Was it to cover for Yasui Tokiyuki?

But if they were powerful enough to evade perception, couldn’t they just stroll in openly, without needing a Middle Tier player for cover?

Asao Sakura must have another crucial role to play.
