Chapter 150: Didn't expect that, did you? I'm bringing the Lion King Organization to

Inside the dim antique shop.

Lanyu Xianzai, who had stepped inside, narrowed his eyes slightly, took an amulet from his pocket, and after activating the charm, dispelled the magical arts in the surroundings.

In a place like this, where magical crimes occur and demons and humans live together everywhere, he, as a high-ranking official of Itogami Island, still had a few means of self-protection.

Or rather, if he did not have certain means of self-protection, he might have been assassinated or mentally dominated by some unknown demon criminal or other magical arts before even climbing to such a height.

Just like Su Nian—though of course, Su Nian is on an untouchable level; even if their amulets used the most advanced Magical Technology and science, they would have no way to withstand a single strike from Su Nian.

There was not even a possibility of struggling.

Almost the second after the arts made contact, a black cat walked slowly toward Lanyu Xianzai.

"I wonder what leisure the Mayor has to come to the Lion King Organization?"

Looking at Lanyu Xianzai, who had undisguised panic on his face, even Yuantang Yuan, who had lived for over a thousand years and had been locked in a struggle with Lanyu Xianzai on Itogami Island for several years, felt surprised.

She had never seen this man show such a flustered and terrified expression.

On Itogami Island, which was completely controlled by the Xianshen Family and the Yase Family, and with a gravely ill wife and a daughter who was a priestess of Kain, to become the mayor of Itogami City, one could not have reached this step without a sufficiently resilient mentality.

Although Itogami Island was nominally a city of the Island Country, it was more like an independent Itogami Kingdom, and the Island Country's control over it was quite low.

The old men in the Diet had not been without the thought of bringing the gold mine that was Itogami Island back under their control.

Lanyu Xianzai rested for a moment, calmed his mood, and after organizing his words, said very seriously.

"Yuantang Yuan, I don't have much time to waste with you right now, so I will speak directly."

"Itogami Island needs the help of the Lion King Organization; I am here to seek assistance."

Hearing the word "assistance," even the leisurely Yuantang Yuan was stunned for a moment; she put away her black cat familiar, and a green-haired, rather curvaceous elf walked out from behind the door.

She looked at Lanyu Xianzai seriously and questioned him.

"Mayor Lanyu, do you know what you are saying right now?"

One must know that asking for aid is not a phrase that can be used casually; once Itogami Island asks the Island Country for aid, it means the Island Country has a reason to intervene in the affairs of Itogami Island.

It could also be considered that Itogami Island had unilaterally and voluntarily abandoned all its interests.

So what kind of incident could have occurred to make the mayor of Itogami City come to ask for aid?

No one knew better than Yuantang Yuan that the so-called mayor of Itogami City was merely a target on the surface; in reality, the power of Itogami Island was held by the Xianshen Family and the Yase Family hidden in the shadows.

Appearing on the surface in this world where various magical criminal groups emerged one after another meant being exposed to their sight, and one could be attacked at any time.

One must know that even the Kalyana Family, a Count family of the War King Domain, had been attacked by an arms dealer, losing all their status and wealth, with only a pair of sisters remaining.

Let alone a mere mayor of a small Itogami City.

Even big figures like the Three True Ancestors rarely appeared on the surface.

Lanyu Xianzai was nothing more than a shield, and now the shield actually had to come out to ask for aid?

Yuantang Yuan's heart gradually tightened; the situation was somewhat beyond her control.

"I know, but I have no choice but to come and seek assistance."

Lanyu Xianzai paused, vigilantly looked around, and stopped speaking.

Yuantang Yuan naturally understood his meaning in a second; he was afraid of being monitored by others, and this matter was of great importance, so he had to hide it this way.

Yuantang Yuan reached out and drew a few runes in the void, after which a Barrier rose, shrouding the interior of this dim antique shop.

"Alright, speak. Within this Barrier, information will absolutely not leak out."

Yuantang Yuan asked with some curiosity, what exactly had happened?

"The high-ranking officials of Itogami Island have all been mentally dominated by the Fourth Progenitor."

"What did you say? It's mental domination? Not a threat?"

Yuantang Yuan looked at Lanyu Xianzai in shock; she suspected she had misheard.

"Isn't the Fourth Progenitor's Twelfth Familiar, the Crystal of the Demon Scorpion's Eye, still in the Chaos Realm? That is the territory of the Third Progenitor?"

The Twelfth Familiar, the Crystal of the Demon Scorpion's Eye, possessed the ability to control the mind through charm, but the corresponding twelfth cultivation was still in the Chaos Realm, right?

The Third Progenitor, the Chaos Empress, was not an easy existence to deal with.

The Fourth Progenitor had just awakened; he shouldn't have been able to retrieve his Familiars so quickly, right? The Flame Light Banquet hadn't even started yet, had it?

And although it was rumored that the true Fourth Progenitor had been resurrected, and even that the Twelfth Familiar was unimaginably powerful, it didn't have the ability of mental domination, did it?

And this also sent a more unsettling signal: why exactly did the Fourth Progenitor want to control the high-ranking officials of Itogami Island? Did he not trust the human high-ranking officials?

If that were the case, what were "loyal subjects" like them, who wanted to offer "loyalty" to the Fourth Progenitor and help him establish the Fourth Night Empire, supposed to do?

They offered "loyalty" for more benefits, not to truly sacrifice everything.

This made things very awkward.

"Yes, and it seems he used some kind of unknown black Familiar to achieve their domination."

Lanyu Xianzai recalled the scene at that time, his body trembling slightly as he spoke; he knew very well what he had done when he was being controlled, and he even remembered his thoughts at that time clearly.

Those were absolutely inhuman thoughts, even wanting to bring the entire world under the domination of the Fourth Progenitor.

Merely because of a single word of loyalty from the Fourth Progenitor, and to be praised by him once.

It was terrifying to think about.

He dared not imagine what would happen to his daughter if she fell into the hands of such an existence, but even so, he had to try every possible way to rescue Lan Yu Qiancong.

But just as Lanyu Xianzai finished speaking, he did not hear a response from Yuantang Yuan for a long time; even Yuantang Yuan's figure had disappeared, leaving only a black cat familiar here to listen to his words.

"Wait, Yuantang Yuan, where are you?"

Lanyu Xianzai pushed the curtain open anxiously and walked into the interior of the antique shop, seeing someone who seemed to be packing up her belongings, stuffing various precious materials and books into the belly of the Snake behind her.

No way? She's running away just like that?

Lanyu Xianzai panicked instantly; the Lion King Organization was the only savior he could find at the moment.

Although there was the Taishi Bureau, the Taishi Bureau was a bit too extreme; if they found out, their first thought would be to directly blow up Itogami Island, letting the Fourth Progenitor and Itogami Island perish together—as for his daughter?

The priestess of Kain was already on the Taishi Bureau's key surveillance list.

The Taishi Bureau would never give up the chance to kill its own daughter.

It was only the Lion King Organization, as his old rival, that he was relatively familiar with; perhaps there was a chance to maneuver.

"Lady Yuantang Yuan, I beg you, please, for the sake of the fifty on Itogami Island."

Lanyu Xianzai went straight down to his knees in a formal prostration before Yuantang Yuan, hoping she could intervene; for the sake of his daughter, he would spare no cost.

Yuantang Yuan was stunned for a moment, sighed, and leaned casually against the wall as she spoke.

"It's not that I won't help you, but with the Fourth Progenitor's magic power reading off the charts, how are we supposed to help you? A single ordinary True Ancestor-level Familiar requires the Three Saints to act together."

"Not to mention that this magic power intensity is even comparable to the main trunk of a continental Dragon Vein."

"So, my advice is that there's no saving it; surrender, perhaps you'll at least be left with an intact corpse."

"......"

Lanyu Xianzai fell silent.

Just as Yuantang Yuan had not yet managed to pack up and leave, a dark crow flew over, dropped a letter, and departed.

After reading the letter, Yuantang Yuan couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it! How dare those old things even think of this? They want us, the Lion King Organization, to eliminate the Fourth Progenitor and take back Vessel No. 12?"

Because they discovered that the Fourth Progenitor, Su Nian, could not be controlled, they decided to eliminate the Fourth Progenitor? Taking advantage of the time when the Fourth Progenitor only had one Familiar.

And then extract the Fourth Progenitor's power to create a more controllable Fourth Progenitor.

Huh? Their Lion King Organization is to deal with the Fourth Progenitor?

To deal with that monster whose magic power from just one Familiar is comparable to a continental-level main Dragon Vein?

After all, the Flame Light Banquet is not being held for the first time; in fact, seizing the Fourth Progenitor's power is not a first either, since the Fourth Progenitor always eliminates the previous incarnations of the Fourth Progenitor due to the 【Logic Bomb】 within their body.

The 【Logic Bomb】 is one of the Fourth Progenitor's fail-safes, eliminating the Fourth Progenitor's self to make them a complete magic power supply device, putting them into a frozen mode.

This is also the reason why the Flame Light Banquet can be held multiple times and why the Fourth Progenitor will not exist in the world forever.

And now, the high-level officials of the Island Country want the Lion King Organization to find a way to activate the 【Logic Bomb】 inside the Fourth Progenitor, and then create a Fourth Progenitor that better aligns with their ideas.

They had even already selected the candidates.

But how could the 【Logic Bomb】 be so easy to activate? Isn't this just asking the Lion King Organization to go to their deaths, to fight with their lives, and then gamble for a glimmer of survival?

After it is activated, how many of the Lion King Organization will be able to survive?

Yet Lanyu Xianzai couldn't help but feel a bit happy; perhaps this way his daughter could be saved?

Then he heard the sound of Yuantang Yuan's phone.

"Hello? Have you investigated clearly what kind of young girls the Fourth Progenitor likes? Loli girls, huh? Then let's pick some from the reserves."

"Huh?"

Lanyu Xianzai stared dumbfounded at Yuantang Yuan, who was arching her eyebrows with a hint of smugness.

Yuantang Yuan waved the photos on her phone of Su Nian with Agulora, Nangong Nayue, and Lan Yu Qiancong, saying.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I'm taking the Lion King Organization and defecting!"
