Chapter 723

His original intention was only to ask the passersby on the street what had happened to Sato, after all, his persona was that of a mixed-blood who had left home twenty years ago and had remained completely out of touch.

But he hadn't expected that before he could ask clearly, he was led to the church. And he had inexplicably undergone a baptism, which indeed consumed quite a bit of his time.

However, the only benefit of this was that Ning Chen obtained a set of clothes, at least allowing him to blend into the crowd without being discovered.

After this prayer ended, everyone in the church dispersed. The resident who had previously brought Ning Chen to the church walked over to Ning Chen again, leading him out along with the flow of people.

Ning Chen followed behind him, not knowing what to say, but his intuition told him that if he followed this resident further, he should still be able to obtain some intelligence.

So Ning Chen said nothing until the resident turned around, looking Ning Chen up and down with an appreciative gaze.

Ning Chen frowned at this gaze; it didn't look like the gaze of someone inspecting a stranger: "What's wrong?"

The resident stroked his chin and said, "Since you are a person of Sato, it won't be difficult for you to stay and develop in Sato in the future. Besides, you look..." He clicked his tongue, nodded, and his approving gaze fell on Ning Chen, "I actually want to introduce you to my daughter."

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, then helplessly said, "Better not. I am already married."

"Married?" The resident Zhang Zui, "You don't look like someone who is married."

"Just got married not long ago, still on our honeymoon," Ning Chen lied, "You should drop this idea."

Although the resident really wanted to matchmake a good marriage, he couldn't possibly break up a newlywed couple, so he had to say, "Alright, what a pity. A young man like you getting married so early."

Ning Chen took the opportunity to close the distance: "You have a daughter?"

"Yes," the resident, speaking of his daughter, couldn't help but have a smile appear on the corner of his mouth, "My daughter is very promising. She just obtained the highest degree and was sent back to the country."

Ning Chen asked an extra question: "How old is your daughter?"

"Twenty-six."

Ning Chen was somewhat surprised, then nodded and praised: "Your daughter is indeed a standout among people."

The resident, perhaps liking to hear such words, pulled Ning Chen into more conversation. Ning Chen nodded in agreement while following the resident aimlessly. Only when he found a gap did he have time to ask: "By the way, is Ye Lisi an organization in your country?"

Hearing Ning Chen ask this, the smile on the resident's face immediately collapsed. Ning Chen observed his expression and felt there must be some inside story.

As expected, the resident said: "Ye Lisi? Isn't that just a..." His voice gradually weakened, and he whispered to Ning Chen, "It's just an organization that monopolizes resources. We have disliked it for a long time."

After hearing these words, Ning Chen felt he had grasped some clues, so he pressed his advantage and continued to ask: "They convert to religion, but can't they even compare to the royal family?"

The resident said: "I wouldn't say these things to others, but since you are at least someone I find acceptable..."

Ning Chen said: "Have the masses endured this for so long?"

The resident smiled bitterly: "Then what can we do? Ye Lisi holds the religious power; we submit to them. And although the royal family and Ye Lisi are in an opposing stance, they also won't allow us to get a share of the pie."

That was true. Ning Chen said: "It looks like you will have to wait a long time to liberate yourselves."

"Not just a long time..." The resident looked at the sky and sighed, "But in the short term, these things have nothing to do with us. Now it is a contest between the royal family and the church."

Ning Chen roughly understood these matters and felt that inciting the masses to rise up was probably impossible. This path was blocked, replaced by the more difficult Ye Lisi.

Ning Chen's mind stirred, and he asked: "If Ye Lisi is destroyed, what would the mindset of the masses be?"

This question made the resident somewhat difficult to answer, but Ning Chen's expression was very serious and did not seem like he was joking with someone, so the resident simply pondered carefully and intended to give Ning Chen an answer.

After a while, the resident said: "There should be no change... After all, for us, whether that organization is destroyed or rises makes no difference, as long as it doesn't threaten the interests of the masses."

Ning Chen said: "Good, I understand."

He already knew what he had to do next.

Originally, Ning Chen planned to start some uprising activities directly in Sato; after all, he could let the system fabricate a fake identity for him.

And the system had also told him everything about Sato. Most of the masses here were living in dire straits, surviving in the cracks between the royal family and the church, and could no longer go on like this.

They were just waiting for someone to take the initiative to step forward.

If Ning Chen led this "uprising," then he would be qualified to lead the psychology of the masses. He could mobilize the masses of Sato, and dealing with Ye Lisi would naturally be easy.

Without his instigation, Sato would probably continue in this state for a long time, still ruled by the church and the royal family.

But now, after Ning Chen clarified the psychology of those people, he vaguely understood that the first path he wanted to take was not feasible.

Because the masses here simply wouldn't care about what the next step should be; the destruction of Ye Lisi was just a small matter to them.

So Ning Chen knew deeply that he couldn't do this and had to change his method. He needed a fast and good method. If he couldn't start this uprising within a short time, or if the goal of the uprising did not reach the result Ning Chen expected, then this period of time would be wasted Yue?; Feiqun 857:, 6,"63"4; 42;?

Ning Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts and, without realizing it, had followed the resident to his house. It was a beautiful small villa with a small courtyard in front, better than most dwellings in this country.

Ning Chen stopped in front of the small house and did not follow the resident inside. The resident walked a few steps, saw that Ning Chen behind him had not followed, turned back, and raised an eyebrow at Ning Chen behind him: "Where is your home?"

Ning Chen thought for a moment and gave a false explanation: "It's gone long ago... My mother passed away a long time ago. This is also the reason why I have always been unwilling to return."

The resident, realizing he had inadvertently touched on Ning Chen's sad spot, said apologetically: "Sorry. Seeing that you have no home, stay with me for now?"

Ning Chen's first reaction was actually that this middle-aged man in front of him was inviting him to live with him, with the main purpose of introducing him to his daughter. So Ning Chen flatly refused: "Sorry, I can find a hotel myself."

The resident seemed to see through Ning Chen's thoughts, laughed, put his arm around Ning Chen's shoulder, and said very intimately as if they had known each other for a long time: "Since you are already married, isn't introducing my daughter to you just breaking you up?"

Ning Chen nodded, his expression serious: "I suspect you thought that way before."

The resident rubbed his nose and chuckled twice, used a key to unlock the door of his home, then pushed Ning Chen inside. While changing shoes in the entryway, he said: "There is only me in my house currently. Don't say introducing you to my daughter; there isn't even a person in the house to talk to. It would be too lonely. This is the real reason I asked you to stay at my house."

Ning Chen touched his head: "Alright, but I'm not someone good at talking either."

Moreover, he still had to attack Ye Lisi, but usually it was a night raid; as long as he was careful, he basically wouldn't be discovered.

The resident brought out a pair of slippers for Ning Chen to change into. Ning Chen obediently changed his shoes. After all, he was in a stranger's house; even though he had once caused the destruction of the Gulf family, he had to lower his head at this moment.

But just staying temporarily was fine. After all, Ning Chen had a place to sleep. Although he was not familiar with that resident, for such a stranger's kindness, Ning Chen was willing to accept it in full and feel grateful.

"By the way, call me Se Wei," the resident said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the guest room."

Ning Chen made an "Hmm" sound and followed Se Wei up to the second floor.

The second floor was very spacious; Ning Chen could see three or four rooms at a glance. Se Wei leaned against the corner of the second-floor steps and said: "Basically no one comes back to our house. Except for my master bedroom and the room my daughter sleeps in, all the others are guest rooms. You can choose yourself."

After speaking, Se Wei walked straight to a corridor and opened a door.

Ning Chen looked at the guest room arrangement inside; it was indeed very beautiful and comfortable, but the color was a bit too bright. So Ning Chen asked: "... How about, I look at the next one?"

Se Wei nodded and opened the door of the room directly opposite.

The light in this room was excellent; facing the bed was a beautiful set of blinds. The entire guest room was designed in green, and the view outside was green as well. Ning Chen felt this shade of green was pleasing to the eye, so he smiled and said to Servey, "Then I'll choose this room. Thank you."

Servey shook his head and said, "It's fine. Having someone around is at least some company. When will you leave?"

Hearing Servey ask this question, Ning Chen's expression froze for a moment. In fact, he himself was unsure when he could leave; anyway, he would leave only after he destroyed the Ye Lisi headquarters.

But looking at the situation now, destroying Ye Lisi in the short term seemed almost impossible, especially since Ye Lisi was now tightly guarded with layers upon layers of security, presumably to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to infiltrate and attack Ye Lisi.

Those people guarded so strictly that Ning Chen was almost speechless, as if the organization "Adding Personnel" would never be destroyed. In reality, for Ning Chen, whether they added personnel or not made little difference; killing one was killing, and killing many was also killing.

Ning Chen tidied up the items in the room. Servey had told him the room was clean, so Ning Chen placed his things inside.

After that, Ning Chen felt he had nothing else to prepare. He checked the time, saw it was still afternoon, and noted that more than ten hours remained before the action time at night, so he lay down on the bed and rested briefly.

In the evening, Servey actually knocked on Ning Chen's door. The knocking sound completely dispelled Ning Chen's sleepiness, so he got up, walked to the door, and casually opened it.

Servey said, "Eat."

Ning Chen made an "Oh" sound, then walked to the living room. Several items were laid out on the dining table, but they were all high-calorie foods. Ning Chen took one look, felt he could still eat them, and said thanks to Servey before picking up the knife and fork.

Servey seemed very pleased, pulled out a chair for Ning Chen to sit, and Ning Chen sat opposite Servey.

Dinner time was very short. Servey's habit at the table was not to speak, so Ning Chen silently finished his meal, watching Servey throw the dishes into the dishwasher to clean.

After finishing, Servey came back and asked Ning Chen, "Go for a walk later? I'll take you to get reacquainted with Sato."

Ning Chen still had matters to attend to and certainly could not go out at this time, so he very tactfully declined. Servey did not say much, merely nodded, and curled up on the sofa to read his magazine again.

Seeing this, Ning Chen quietly walked upstairs. In Sato, the only place Ning Chen could rest was here; that room would be Ning Chen's temporary haven.

Night fell. Ning Chen checked the time; it was now eleven at night, but he felt this time was still not safe enough. Not to mention Servey who was still showering downstairs, even just the group from Ye Lisi would not possibly lower their guard at eleven at night.

So Ning Chen sensed what Servey was doing at that moment and found the other person had already put on a bathrobe and was about to come out of the bathroom. Ning Chen's perception was so rich that he could even sense the other person humming a song.

After listening for a while, Ning Chen stopped listening. He lay on the bed, feeling somewhat tormented, because the upcoming action would be quite dangerous for him; if there were any oversights, he might truly get injured.

Ning Chen opened his eyes at two in the morning. His internal biological clock forced him to open his eyes at this time. Ning Chen got up and stealthily headed downstairs.

Servey's room was on the first floor, a room with very good lighting. If he walked from his current position to the door, he would definitely pass Servey's room, and opening the door might very well make a sound.

So Ning Chen could only grope his way step by step toward the door in the dark. Fortunately, his night vision was very strong; he could see things in the darkness without turning on the lights.

Servey must have fallen asleep in the room. Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief. In an instant, he had reached the door, his hand on the doorknob hesitating, before finally gently pressing down on the doorknob.

Opening the door made no sound. Ning Chen gently pressed his face against the door, striving to minimize any noise. When the lock was opened, only a faint "click" sound came through.

The sound was very faint; Servey, sleeping in the room, would most likely not hear it. Ning Chen slowly opened the door, walked out silently, and closed the door again after his feet stepped across the threshold.

He could look up and see the moon hanging in the sky. The night temperature here was also very pleasant. At two in the morning, most people in Sato were already asleep; on the street, aside from the streetlights, everything else was dark.

This was different from the Hua Kingdom, but it also facilitated Ning Chen's actions.

Ning Chen naturally could not hail a taxi at two in the morning, so he could only choose to walk. With his skill enhancement, rushing toward Ye Lisi would not take long.

The system once again confirmed Ye Lisi's address with Ning Chen. Ning Chen immediately hesitated no longer, directly activated his skill, and rushed toward that location at maximum speed.

Not a single person discovered his whereabouts.
