Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After listening to Wu Yue's description, Pierce frowned, and his light blue eyes became extremely cold.

"You mean, he didn't see the hydrogen thought? But he seemed to be able to communicate with the hydrogen thought?" He wanted to confirm whether his understanding was correct.

"Yes."

Wu Yue is a very quiet woman. Although she is naturally beautiful, she usually has very little presence among the Twelve Apostles, even though she ranks second and her style is very different from that of Wu Yue.

That's why Pierce assigned her this secret mission: to track Zhong Chenmu.

And she completed the task successfully.

Although she was hit on the back by a plastic bag that came from nowhere and made a slight friction sound when she was leaving the backyard of the small shop on Jingqi Road, which attracted Zhong Chenmu's attention, she was able to leave safely after all.

And brought back this news to Pierce that shocked him greatly.

After Wu Yue left, Pierce locked the office door and stood by his desk, clasping his hands tightly against his chest and staring out the window.

From the first day he met Zhong Chenmu in the library, he felt that this young man was extraordinary, so he used his own skills to recruit him into the Prophet Society.

He originally thought that he could influence Zhong Chenmu to work for him wholeheartedly just like he controlled other people, but he soon found out that this was wishful thinking.

Although Zhong Chenmu also accepted the arrangement of his advance team, he always suspected that Zhong Chenmu was hiding a secret from him. He did not expect that he had such an incredible ability.

If that was the case, Zhong Chenmu could completely bypass him and reach an agreement with the Hydrogen Clan in private, which was something Pierce absolutely could not tolerate.

Compared to this information, his happy mood sank again.

Just half an hour ago, Zhong Chenmu informed him that Hydrogen Thoughts had accepted their goodwill and was willing to open up a new open space for the civilization of Nameless City. However, the tasks that the Hydrogen Tribe needed the Prophet Society and the people of Nameless City to complete, or the specific help they needed to provide, would take some time to finalize, and they would be notified once it was finalized.

He originally thought this was a milestone development, but now it seems that he has to doubt whether Zhong Chenmu has evil intentions.

"I still underestimated him..."

Thinking of this, Pierce took out his phone and dialed a number.

The moment the phone was connected, he tried hard to control his emotions and soften his tone, even with a hint of flattery.

"Master Liang, I want to report a situation."

"Go on." There was no emotion in the voice on the other end of the phone.

"We've made good progress in our contact with the Hydrogen Tribe. They've accepted our sincerity and are willing to open up new areas for us. The only uncertainty now is how they want us to help them..."

"I know all this." Liang Ye interrupted him: "Anything else?"

Pierce's heart trembled, but he still maintained the same tone as before: "About Zhong Chenmu..."

"Pierce, I've already told you that I was the one who asked him to report directly to me. Besides, he was the person you chose, wasn't he? The person you chose has made excellent progress. Shouldn't you be moved and happy for that? Don't be so prejudiced. I won't judge you for poaching each other's talent. Remember, we're all working towards a common goal. As long as that goal can be achieved as quickly as possible, I won't interfere with anything that happens along the way. I'll simply provide the funding and resources you need."

Pierce frowned.

He didn't expect that Master Liang would be so protective of this young man.

"If I tell you what Wu Yue just told me, you will regret it..."

With this thought in mind, Pierce still spoke in a very patient tone, "Master Liang, actually, this isn't what I want to talk about. You don't need to worry about this... What I want to say is that he's not an ordinary person. He can communicate with the Hydrogen Clan members through the air, and we have no idea what he said to them."

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Pierce thought smugly, "See how you handle it..."

Then, he heard a sigh, followed by a very low voice: "Zhong Chenmu has already told me about this matter. To avoid your suspicion, he also specifically asked me not to tell you... In my opinion, it is precisely because of this ability that he was able to achieve the breakthrough that we have been unable to achieve in such a short time. Wouldn't it be more conducive to us to achieve that goal as soon as possible? So I don't think there is any problem with this. Are you still worried that he will turn his elbow outward? I don't think so. I am very curious, how did you know about this? Did you follow him?"

"..."

"Pierce, I have one word for you: focus on your goal and don't overthink it."

After saying this, Mr. Liang hung up the phone.

Pierce slammed his phone onto the carpet.

If it weren't for the soft texture of the carpet, the poor phone would probably have fallen apart.

He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his light blue eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He paced back and forth in the office several times, then went to the bar and drank half a glass of whiskey in one gulp. Only then did he feel a little calmer.

Pierce walked over to the phone again, squatted down and picked it up.

The screen still lights up.

So, he dialed another number: "Come to my office, and also ask Meiyue to come along."

Zhong Chenmu couldn't feel how crazy Pierce was at the moment.

During the final moments of his communication with Hydrogen Thought last night, he realized he was being followed. The numbers flashing through his mind confirmed his judgment.

After leaving the shop, he went to the alley next to the backyard where he had crawled before, and carefully observed the scene, but found no obvious traces.

Apart from the very faint scent of women's perfume that wafts into my nose.

He seemed to have seen this scent before.

So, he knew exactly what was going on and simply told Master Liang about his ability to "telepathically" communicate with the Hydrogen Clan members.

Because if I don't say it, Pierce will complain sooner or later.

He also briefly imagined how this complacent retired professor and president of the Prophet Society would react if he knew his secret.

But his thoughts were soon occupied by more important matters.

At this moment, he was having a meeting with his team members at Guo Ling's home, and everyone was sitting in the living room of Guo Ling's home.

With five people sitting at once, the living room seems a bit crowded, but it also makes it full of life.

Guo Ling was very emotional: "Since that day, the house has not been so lively for a long time..."

Old Man Liu agreed: "Let's not hold meetings in Linjiang Building anymore. Let's take turns holding meetings at our homes. This will warm up the house and we won't have to worry too much."

Fan Ting objected: "We can't go to Xiaotong's house. She will be sad."

After saying that, he hugged Zhu Tong beside him.

"Let's have a meeting." Zhong Chenmu said.

The others fell silent and stared at him.

Zhong Chenmu then told in detail what had happened recently, including the situation of the cosmic gangster.

Although he revealed one of his big secrets to Mr. Liang, Zhong Chenmu still didn't want him and Pierce to know about the cosmic gangster for the time being.

He plans to share it with his teammates first, and if they are all accepting, then introduce it on a large scale.

Sooner or later everyone should know it anyway.

After listening to Zhong Chenmu's story, the other four fell silent.
