Chapter 2632: Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office

The next day, the sky over Northern Europe had just begun to lighten.

As soon as Gongong Ber Ouberkun opened his eyes, he received a message from a stranger.

The message contained only four brief characters: Naples.

Ouberkun knew these four characters must be the location of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office.

Even if not, it should at least be the first stop on the way to the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office.

It is somewhat heartbreaking to say, but even as one of the Four Earls, Ouberkun did not know the exact location of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office, nor its internal personnel structure.

In the Anti-Qing Association, although the Four Earls are said to be second only to the Yingzhu in status, this applies only to individual strength.

Although the Yingzhu highly values the Four Earls, constantly praises them before others in the Anti-Qing Association, and even gives them many elixirs and materials for cultivation advancement, he has in fact always deliberately controlled the Four Earls' authority within the Anti-Qing Association, rarely allowing them direct control over any sizable, organized unit of the Association.

Whether it be the death warriors, the Elite Cavalry Guards, or even the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office that ranks above them, none obey any command from the Four Earls.

The Yingzhu's true confidants are not these Four Earls, but the Commander of the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office.

The structure of the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office is the true core of the Anti-Qing Association; each Commander-in-Chief's Office beneath it commands vast personnel, industries, supplies, weapons, and funds.

Each Commander-in-Chief's Office beneath it has at least one death warrior garrison, several thousand death warriors, several hundred Elite Cavalry Guards, several regional commanders, and envoys.

In addition, there are many like Feng Zidong's parents, dispatched overseas, and many like Ye Chen's third aunt, placed under normal identities in various countries and fields as special operatives.

Without the Four Earls, the Anti-Qing Association would merely lose four peak-power supermasters, but without the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office, the Anti-Qing Association would be crippled.

Therefore, the Yingzhu himself controls the Five Armies Commander-in-Chief's Office and has long guarded against the Four Earls, not wishing them to know too much about it.

Thus, the Four Earls, though called as such, are in fact merely the four mascots of the Anti-Qing Association.

At this moment, Ouberkun dared not delay; he hurriedly rose from the hotel, called a business aviation company, and leased a Gulfstream jet for thirty thousand euros, flying directly from Osu City to Naples in southern Italy.

During the flight, Ouberkun continuously analyzed the current situation of the Anti-Qing Association and the Yingzhu's present difficulties.

As one of the Four Earls, he actually had many questions he could not understand.

First, why the Yingzhu is so obsessed with Lin Wanan;

Second, how miraculous Lin Wanan's so-called ring truly is, to make the Yingzhu so infatuated;

Third, why the Yingzhu, twenty years ago, had Changsheng Bo kill Ye Changying and his wife, yet still constantly thinks of the An family, even suddenly attacking them with lethal force twenty years later;

Fourth, why the Yingzhu suddenly ordered Changsheng Bo to search for Ye Changying's son's whereabouts.

Although he had many unresolved questions, through these circumstances he perceived a clear change: the Yingzhu now relies more on these four earls, gradually relaxing from his former constant vigilance.

Thus, in Ouberkun's view, whether he can seize this opportunity to achieve merit or not, his future situation will be much better.

After three hours of flight, Ouberkun's aircraft landed at Naples Airport.

This was his first visit to the city, though he had long heard of it, thanks to football legend Maradona having once played for Napoli Football Club.

At this moment, standing at Naples Airport, he was completely in the dark, not knowing where to go or whom to seek.

He kept waiting for his phone to ring, but even as he stepped out of the airport, he had received no message.

At that moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and respectfully said: "Gongong Ber, you have worked hard on your journey; please follow me."

Ouberkun looked at the man and asked: "What is your surname and given name, and what is your position in the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office?"

The man hastily replied: "Reporting to Gongong Ber, I am Yuan Chengze, a Deputy Commander of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office!"

Ouberkun slightly nodded and said: "Then please, Deputy Commander Yuan, lead the way."

As he spoke these words, he inwardly lamented: "What is called a gap—this damn thing is the gap. As one of the Four Earls, I come to this place not knowing where to go or whom to seek, yet this person before me knows all my movements. Yingzhu, Yingzhu, you truly guard against us like thieves."

Yuan Chengze led Ouberkun into a locally licensed Maybach sedan, personally driving him toward the Naples city center.

While driving, Yuan Chengze asked Ouberkun: "Gongong Ber, have you been to Naples before?"

"No," Yuan Chengze shook his head: "This is my first time coming."

Yuan Chengze laughed: "Since it's your first time, I'll take you around Naples properly later." ReadNovel

Ouberkun lightly said: "I still have pressing matters, so I won't sightsee. Where is Wu Shutong, the Wu Commander? I wish to meet him as soon as possible."

Yuan Chengze hurriedly replied: "The Commander has already reserved a banquet at Naples' finest Chinese restaurant, awaiting to welcome and cleanse you, Gongong Ber."

Half an hour later.

Yuan Chengze's Maybach pulled up before a restaurant named Yue Rong Ji.

This restaurant is located at the base of a forty-story building; entering from the ground-floor shop, its interior spans three levels.

He personally opened the car door for Ouberkun and briskly escorted him into the restaurant.

The two took the internal elevator to the third floor; upon exiting, several court-attired female service staff respectfully greeted them, loudly calling out in Chinese: "Welcome, Gongong Ber!"

Ouberkun did not expect these people to know his identity; astonished, he suddenly noticed that these female attendants were, without exception, martial artists— the weakest at three-star strength, the strongest already at six-star.

It appears this place has already entered the internal zone of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office.

Yuan Chengze led the way, walking and saying: "Gongong Ber, this is your first visit to the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office; let me give you a rough introduction. This restaurant is an industry of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office; the first and second floors operate normally for the public, while the third floor is said to be membership-based but is in fact not open to outsiders—only internal personnel of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office come here, and in this establishment you need not worry about identity exposure, for the staff here are without exception the children of death warriors, Elite Cavalry Guards, and other department members."

Ouberkun exclaimed in surprise: "Is this place actually the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office?"

"Yes, but not entirely," Yuan Chengze smiled faintly: "In fact, this forty-story building is entirely our property; although more than half its area is leased to local enterprises, the southern section directly above and below this restaurant is not leased out at all, and the top three floors, though superficially leased to a shipping company, are actually ours, and this section connects to the restaurant via a secret elevator— in truth, the very top floor is the garrison of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office."

Ouberkun gasped upon hearing this.

While marveling at the scale of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office, he also felt his speculation from the flight had been confirmed— Yuan Chengze disclosed the office's details so thoroughly upon first meeting that it must have been the Yingzhu's instruction; it seems the Yingzhu will henceforth gradually relax the many restrictions on himself and the other three earls…
