Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 78: Spirit of Vengeance

Walking on the street, Chakle was thinking silently.

Hugh Igleser's performance on that sleepless night is still unforgettable for him.

Today's Xiu Yiglaer has become a very terrifying opponent.

Since he became a high-ranking warrior of the empire, he has never seen an enemy as difficult as Xiu Yiglaer.

He simply regards the huge empire as nothing, comes and goes freely, and kills freely.

He had seen many strong men who relied on force, and some quite extraordinary wise men, but no one could openly confront a country like Xiu Yi.

What frightens Chuckle is that Huey has a super quality that no one else has: calmness.

Extremely calm.

This kind of calmness has exceeded the limit of a person, and the result is that he always knows what to do at what time

He makes plans, executes them, and completes them, just like a machine that is good at high-density calculations, taking everything under his own control, and never following in the footsteps of others.

It can be seen from the whole empire's pursuit of Xiu Yiglaer that from beginning to end, Xiu Yi asked them to come, so they could come.

It’s not scary to be powerful, it’s not scary to be intelligent, it’s not scary to be talented, but having all these at the same time, coupled with that inhuman cold thinking, creates a truly terrifying opponent.

For such an opponent, no matter how you tease, calculate, seduce, or bribe, it is useless. He has his own plan, he only does things according to his own plan, and will never be swayed by other people's opinions.

On the contrary, if you want to catch him, you have to follow him.

This made Chakle feel a little helpless.

At the beginning, it was his own greed that allowed this terrible murderer to escape from Lianhe Island. As a result, he was blackmailed by Raschel and forced himself to serve him.

But the facts have proved that Hugh Igleser is not easy to deal with. If you want to catch him, you must have the awareness to pay a sufficient price.

The problem is, the price is likely to be himself.

Chakle wasn't sure, if Huey wanted to kill him, would he be sure that he could escape from his schemes.

It's all the damn Raschel's fault. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have to be so passive at all. That hideous proof!

He cursed in his heart.

There are too many things in this world where a mistake can turn into eternal hatred. More than once, he thought about whether he should immediately confess all the facts to the empire and exchange his status as a land warrior for forgiveness, but when he thought of the terrible consequences, he was still hesitant.

Ever since Xiuyi appeared by his side that day on the banks of the Fein River, he had a bad feeling.

He felt that sooner or later he would be pulled over by Xiu Yi and become his subordinate to serve him.

Xiu Yi has a very strong ability to grasp people's hearts. His sentence "No matter which road you choose may be a road of no return. But there is one difference. If you cooperate with me, you will enjoy happiness for at least a long period of time, but if you fight against me, your next step is to perish!" hits the crux of the problem.

Confess yourself? Come on, Chuckley could well imagine the consequences of that. Politics has always needed a scapegoat. Hugh Igles' escape is a big problem, and the higher-ups are worried that they can't find anyone responsible for this matter.

But working with Xiu Yi...

This thought surged up in his mind unstoppably, making him tremble all over.

Everything that happened in Spark Prison is still impacting his soul until now.

He didn't know exactly what happened there, but Hugh Iglesle had already proved with facts that he could indeed do many things he wanted to do, including destroying an empire's strongest steel barrier.

I... what should I do?

Chakle suffered from a deep headache.

"Chakle, are you okay?" The familiar voice woke Chakle up from his contemplation.

Standing in front of him was Raschel.

This old dog, Chakle thought viciously, before he noticed that he had unknowingly returned to the gate of the Legal Affairs Department.

"I'm fine, what's the problem?"

"A lot of it is pressure from the upper echelon." Raschel shrugged: "Too many big figures have issued me an ultimatum, asking me to find Hugh Igles as soon as possible and catch him."

"What do you think of this problem? I noticed that you have hardly shown anything recently. Since you came to Royo City, you have been almost silent. That's not like your style, Raschel." Chakle said coldly.

Raschel giggled a few times: "Yes, it's really strange, isn't it? It's strange why I can always be so calm?"

He looked around, then leaned over to Chakle and said, "I can give you the answer, because I don't need to look for him at all."

"What? It's not necessary?" Chakle was stunned.

"Yes." Raschel nodded seriously: "Okay, Chakle, don't look so surprised. Don't you understand it now? Haven't you seen it yet? Hugh Iglell has the teleportation array technology, and he is the only one who has this technology. In this land, he can come and go whenever he wants, and he can go wherever he wants. So tell me, Chakle, what do you think we have to find him? Find him, surround him, and then watch him leave with the teleportation array. Send him off?"

"Hell, so you expected this from the start?"

"No." Raschel shook his head: "I didn't realize it until Igleer used the teleportation circle to send Bogle away in the central square. That was the first time I saw him use the teleportation circle. He brought out his alchemy ability to the fullest, and he did a great job. But it was because of this that I realized that we had no point in finding him and capturing him. Because he has a natural advantage. Hunting him can only mean one thing... that is, we can only run behind his ass forever, forever Don't try to catch him."

"Then what's the point of being in this position? You're good at finding criminals, not catching them."

"That's right, that's why I can't say anything, and I can't do anything. If I say or do something, the people above will think I'm useless even more." Raschel giggled.

"But if the days drag on, they will lose patience with you sooner or later."

"Why worry, my friend?" Raschel shrugged: "Know that the only way to catch a criminal is to find him. Especially our little friend is very different from other criminals. He doesn't need us to look for him, he will show up by himself. Look, he has shown himself twice in Royo City. The first time he killed and blinded my two most important assistants, and killed Bogle. The second time he strangled the whole city and took the entire Spark Prison. Believe me, he will definitely come again Coming for the third time. Will definitely..."

"So what are you going to do? Lay a trap to catch him?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Raschel shook his head: "When a cunning criminal meets a shrewd detective, the criminal usually has the first-hand advantage. It's like attacking against defense. The defender can only defend passively. Only the attacker has the right to decide where the focus of the attack is. The defender is not qualified to decide the battlefield and the time of the battle. Setting traps...you think it's so easy? Where should I go to set them up? I need to know what his plan is first. Without knowing anything, I can't take any favorable measures against him."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Remember what I said to Marlette? This is a young and energetic lad. With his victories, he will only become more and more confident. But no action in this world can be carried out completely according to the plan. There will always be accidents and failures. Waiting is a good choice, and patience is a quality that belongs to the winner. The Lance Empire has enough human resources. Even if the loss is great, we can afford this sacrifice. The only question is when... will he make a mistake."

"Then if he makes a mistake..."

"If he makes a mistake, I can find his weakness. Believe me, Chakle, he must have a weakness. It's just that he hides it very well, so that we don't know it."

"Then when will you discover his weakness?"

"Soon, soon. I'm rearranging all the actions of Xiu Iglesel since he left the island. I'm retrieving some of his ways of doing things and studying some of his habitual thinking. You know that everyone has habitual thinking patterns, and even smart people cannot avoid this. Thinking without thinking patterns is the most inefficient...I feel that my way of thinking is getting closer and closer to Xiu Iglesel. I can even feel what he is thinking and why he does it..." Raschel raised his finger and said with a smile: "So I believe that I am getting closer and closer to some unknown secrets of Hugh Igles, some secrets that he has worked so hard to hide from others. The problem now is that I need some confirmation."

"Prove what?"

"Prove if there is still a hint of pity hidden under Hugh Iglesel's cold heart, and prove that deep in his heart, is there a guard that is worth his risk and makes him pay everything... Believe me, Chakle, everyone has something worth defending with their lives. Hugh Igles also has it, but he may not even know it. And I think I can discover it before he finds it out."

"I hope that everything you say is not empty words, it sounds too mysterious."

"No, it's not mysterious at all, Mr. Chakle." Raschel said solemnly: "I know that I am approaching something. Although I still can't tell what it is, I am indeed approaching. There is no doubt about it. It won't be long before I can find out Hugh Igleser's weakness. Then, I will make arrangements for his weakness. At that time, the teleportation circle will be meaningless. Hugh Iglesia's consistent style of doing things according to his own plan will also encounter an unprecedented challenge. He has been challenging us these days , and it won’t be long before I will challenge him.”

"when?"

"After he killed Kevin Beers and Garrick Inston." Raschel replied with a smile: "When they die, the Empire will send Star Warrior. So it's fine if they die, I won't feel bad."

"You bloody bastard." Chuckley muttered, "So when do you think he'll take action?"

"It's almost time. It's been a while since Spark's robbery. I hope he can start his action within the time I expected, so at least in terms of time, I already know him. The time between his arrival in Fragrant Leaf City and killing Ablit was almost a month. Then another month later, he went to the Villas Mountains. After spending a month there, there was news of him purchasing materials in Royo City. Then it was another month or so, when he made his first move in Royo City. It's been almost another month now... Hugh Igles may not even realize that his actions are unintentionally following his instincts to form some habits. Then if he continues to follow this habit, he will soon make a move."

"I hope your prediction is accurate. Hugh Igles has been on the run for half a year. When facing him, apart from embarrassment, the Empire still has nothing but embarrassment."

"Then continue to embarrass yourself. At least this time, I still don't plan to do anything. Serious observation is more important than anything else, and it is also the basic quality that an excellent detective must have." Raschel walked into the Legal Affairs Office with his hands behind his back: "Oh, speaking of it, I have observed that your mood has been very unstable recently, Chakle, that is not a good sign."

Chakle was shocked.

—————————————————

No matter how tedious chores are, there is always an end.

In the Hidden Valley, the once huge and chaotic prisoner team gradually showed a clear organizational outline under the governance of the committee formed by Xiu Yi.

Disobedient people will be monitored, isolated, or even eradicated.

Capable people will be promoted, reused, and even ascended.

One of the biggest advantages of choosing prisoners is that from their criminal history, they can clearly analyze their personality traits and their hatred and opposition to the empire, so as to determine which people are available, which ones are not, which ones can be reused, and which ones need to be guarded against.

The cave above the valley wall has become a special place for the committee to discuss and make decisions. Xiu Yi adopts a hands-off attitude, and his subordinates will give opinions on all major matters, and then report them to him, and he will make the final decision.

This is a very smart approach. As a leader, you don’t have to do everything yourself. Proper decentralization can not only brainstorm ideas, make yourself relaxed, but also maintain a certain degree of mystery and majesty. When the plans that the subordinates have painstakingly made are delivered to him, they usually spontaneously have a trembling and frightened mentality, fearing that they will be picked out.

Unless they are the children of the royal family, not many people have the natural majesty of the king, and the majesty does exist. The source of its birth comes from this attitude and method of dealing with things.

For Xiu Yi, his biggest weakness is that he is too young. Although he has demonstrated extraordinary abilities, his frail, youthful and slightly immature appearance will always look more intimidating than his strong, fierce, mature and stable appearance. That's why Xiu Yi has to pay more attention to this aspect.

The appearance of the black warrior helped Xiu Yi solve a big problem virtually.

This whole body is full of cold killing intent, will never speak, will never die, and is so strong and powerful that it looks like a god of death. Ever since he challenged the Six Heavenly Kings that day, everyone has been terrified.

No one dared to violate Xiu Yi's will, and no one dared to ignore his orders.

Although Xiu Yi never yelled at people, every order he gave would be executed quickly and effectively as soon as possible.

As a leader, one should show others majesty and magnanimity, but his close relatives should be intimidated by cruelty and coldness, so that people will be afraid of his strength and at the same time turn their minds to the supreme leader. This is the art of leadership.

Today, the committee is discussing another important issue after the establishment of the team: what name should be given to the team.

"I propose, how about calling it the Spark Legion?" This was Cleo, the flame clouded leopard, speaking.

After many days of getting along, this rebellious cheetah began to realize the strength of Xiu Yi, gradually found its own position, and knew how to use a consulting rather than a strong tone when speaking.

"I think this proposal is good." Denan and others also echoed: "In any case, the people here are mainly prisoners of Spark Prison. The common prison life has made us experience common pain. This name can bring everyone together."

"But it will also expose us." Buckle, who was sitting opposite them, sneered: "Don't forget that we are going to walk on this land pretending to be Xido's mercenary group. Spark Legion, hum, do you want to inform the empire who we are?"

"Then what do you think is a good name?" the monkey asked.

"Alpen Corps."

"I don't think so either. The Lance Empire is also very vigilant against the Alps."

On the issue of naming, the two parties hold their own opinions and have ideas for each other.

They hope to give all the prisoners a name with a common centripetal force, but they don't want this name to reveal their existence. The contradiction gradually becomes prominent in this choice, and the final result can only be decided by the person in charge of the overall situation.

At the entrance of the cave, Xiu Yi sat cross-legged outside.

He just sat quietly like that, the Dou Qi in his body circulated, looking for the Qi channels and Qi machine, and tried his best to seize every minute of time to practice.

The arguments in his ears were like noises from the sky, so far away for him.

The black warrior stood motionless behind him, using his unique coldness to kill, implying that the young man at this moment should not be disturbed.

After running for a while, Xiu Yi finally opened his eyes.

Behind him were Buckler and others, waiting for his answer.

"The name is just a code name." Xiu Yi said lightly: "The meaning of its existence can be to explain where we are from, and it can also explain where we are going. The people here come from all corners of the world. We do not have a common origin, but it does not mean that we do not have a common future. Since we cannot be unified in the past, let us be unified in the destiny of the future."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Xiu Yi continued: "Our team, in the future, will become the biggest trouble for the empire. Our existence will make them restless. Our goal is to take revenge and claim from this evil country what he owes us. Our mission is to make ourselves the biggest nightmare of this country."

With that said, Xiu Yi stood up and looked behind her: "So the name of the organization is called the Spirit of Vengeance, and the combat team is the Nightmare Legion, so that's settled."
