I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 219. One Piece? Activation?

As the leader of the Peach Organization, do I have subordinates?

That’s a good question.
Xia Feng clicked his tongue, "Who said I don't have any? Cha Nai Xue is one!"

"She can be counted?"

"Of course, she is now my slave girl, so naturally she is under my command. And Hongli is my maid, so naturally she is also under my command."

Xia Feng smiled confidently, "Miss Mu, I'm sorry, I have two subordinates, but what about you?"

"Oh, I have a thousand." Mu Qingtong smiled faintly.

"?" Xia Feng's confident smile froze slightly. Wait, the Peach Organization has already grown to this size?
How did this world-destroying witch manage to do that?
The moment the doubt arose, Xia Feng realized that this was very likely Mu Qingtong's third spiritual understanding ability!
His alpha spirit weapon has three abilities, so Mu Qingtong probably has three as well.

The first two are hypnosis and manipulation, and the third is probably this ability.

Since Mu Qingtong dared to say that she had a thousand people under her command, she must have the ability to control these thousand people so that they would not dare to have the slightest thought of betrayal and would be absolutely loyal.

This ability could be mind control, contract control, or toxin control.
How did she manage to grow to such a large number of people so quietly? Four words came to Xia Feng's mind: Spirit Song Competition!

He had initially thought that Mu Qingtong was participating in the Spirit Song Competition to complete a sacred liberation ritual, but now it seemed that this was not the case, but rather that she was accomplishing something far more evil.
That wicked witch is definitely up to something!
However, Xia Feng had a vague feeling that Mu Qingtong's purpose in participating in the Spirit Song Competition was probably not just this evil, but perhaps even more evil.
But now is not the time to think about these things, because Xia Feng realized another problem.

As the leader of the Peach Organization, Lord Spade actually has fewer subordinates than his deputy, Lady Heart!

"Miss Mu, are you plotting to usurp the throne?" Xia Feng, the lone commander, pointed at the world-destroying witch and shouted angrily.

The woman in the black dress flipped through the documents in her hand, glanced at them, then looked up and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Xia, first of all, you need to understand one thing: I, Mu Qingtong, am the leader of the Peach Organization!"

"So how can there be any talk of plotting to usurp the throne?"

Xia Feng: "!!!"

In fact, Mu Qingtong and Xia Feng didn't pay much attention to the sudden establishment of the Peach Organization at first, since there were only two people in the organization.

However, as online public opinion intensified and more and more people learned about the Peach Organization, Xia Feng began to consider expanding the organization's scale.

But to his surprise, before he could even begin to develop the organization, Mu Qingtong had already completed a large-scale screening and recruitment of its members.
"But everyone outside believes that the leader of the Peach Organization is the Spade Man!" Xia Feng said, disagreeing.

“That’s right. Everyone outside thinks the leader of the Peach Organization is the Spade.” Mu Qingtong nodded and patted Xia Feng’s shoulder, her eyebrows curving like crescent moons. “This is just the right smokescreen to confuse the enemy. No one will think that the seemingly weak Heart is the real leader behind the Peach Organization.”

“(」゜ロ゜)」”

Insidious, so incredibly insidious! Xia Feng felt like a child being placed on the throne by a treacherous minister, with only two brainless maids at his disposal. The Imperial Guards, the Feathered Forest Army, and the 100,000 troops outside the city were all in the hands of this treacherous minister.

"The country is in ruins, and treacherous officials are in power," Xia Feng lamented.

"Alright, stop nagging, we should leave." Hearing footsteps approaching in the distance, Mu Qingtong grabbed Xia Feng's arm and started walking.

The two walked through a futuristic, silver-plated corridor and soon entered a beautifully decorated upscale café.

Waiters carried trays through the quiet, luxurious hall, while aristocratic ladies sat by the arched, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping drinks and admiring the magnificent, flowing blue waters outside.

Several gentlemen approached to chat, some covering their mouths and chuckling, others politely declining. Everyone seemed relaxed and at ease, enjoying this wonderful Yongliuhai trip. Xia Feng and his companion sat down at a corner table by the window.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?" The waiter, dressed in a dark red uniform, bowed respectfully and asked with a smile.

Mu Qingtong: "Hawthorn juice."

Xia Feng: "Soy milk, thank you."

"..." Who would order these two things in a coffee shop? But the waiter maintained his polite smile and replied gently, "Okay, please wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Xia Feng looked at Mu Qingtong and asked in a puzzled voice, "What are we doing here?"

"Forty days ago, this Starship set sail from District 49. Ten days ago, it stopped in District 50 for a day. On that day, only one person bought a ticket to board the ship from District 50."

As she spoke, Mu Qingtong handed over an information sheet. Xia Feng glanced at it and immediately understood that the person who had set off to find him ten days ago was also the 14th. Therefore, the person who boarded the ship from District 50 was the 14th.

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes and glanced at the woman in the black dress: "Was this information also collected by your subordinates?"

Mu Qingtong smiled but remained silent.

Seeing this, Xia Feng didn't press further. However, based on the information he had gathered, he could deduce that Mu Qingtong's ability was terrifying. Not only could she reliably recruit subordinates, but she could also transmit information to them over extremely long distances.

This is equivalent to placing a thousand eyes in every level of the empire, and this number is likely to continue to increase in the future.

Thoughts flashed through Xia Feng's mind. He looked down at the information, which was very detailed. It revealed exactly where No. 14 lived and how many lovers she kept. One of No. 14's hobbies was drinking coffee, and she needed to come for afternoon tea every day at three o'clock.

Xia Feng glanced at his watch; there were still several tens of minutes left. He wasn't in a hurry and would wait patiently.

Just then, curious voices arose. It was a group of young noblemen who looked to be under twenty years old, sitting not far from the back table, talking excitedly in hushed tones.

"I heard that the fifth spark was found not long ago. Do you know if this is true or not?"

"Pshaw, it's definitely fake. How could it be that fast?"

Xia Feng blinked, somewhat surprised.

Two legends have been passed down in the Eternal Flow Sea. The first legend is the "Fourth Divine Treasure".

It is said that after the mysterious death of the first fourth pillar of the state, Gu Yi, he left behind a very rich divine treasure, which is hidden in the Eternal Flowing Sea.

There is only one way to find the divine treasure: activate the five [Fire Seeds]. The Fire Seeds will guide you to the path to unlock the divine treasure.

As a result, not only are pirates rampant on Yongliu Sea, but legions also frequently appear there.
Of course, the main search for the Divine Treasure is done by the [Li Dong Legion] and the [Yin Long Legion], since these two legions were originally under the command of the first Pillar of State, Gu Yi.

According to rumors circulating online, four of the sparks have already been discovered, and only the fifth spark is missing.

However, judging from the words of the group of noble young masters behind them, it seems that the last spark of fire has already been obtained by someone else.
Of course, in theory, such news is not very credible, since every two or three years there are rumors that a fifth spark has been found, but they are always false.
