Chapter 1813: The Situation as It Stands

On the way back, inside a thickened bulletproof Phantom, An'er hesitated to speak.

"Is there something you want to ask?" Chen Yu knew what An'er was worried about.

"This... Mr. Chen." An'er steadied himself: "Regarding today's events, I think it is necessary for us to communicate."

"You want to say that Wang Ye also has someone supporting him from behind the scenes, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, An'er's backer is called Kaza, and like me, he is also a member of the Red Skull."

"You and Kaza have quite a lot of grudges between you, don't you?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, we have conflicting opinions. In fact, although the Red Skull appears to be a single group on the surface, it has actually split up long ago."

An'er revealed the biggest secret: "There is no connection between us; on the contrary, whenever there is the slightest opportunity, we will try every possible means to kill the other to strengthen our own power."

"Why did such a situation arise? What about your previous Commander?" Chen Yu asked.

He knew the Red Skull; at one time, he had made the countries of the Western World tremble with fear, and even made everyone feel insecure.

The reason was that they were too powerful, monopolized the underground business of the Western World, and had pushed the role of the underworld to the extreme.

But later, this organization turned from being vigorous and spectacular to being obscure; although their influence remained, few people mentioned them anymore.

"Because... our strength is too great. If we were to twist into a single rope, it would pose a threat to the Western World, and this is something the governments of the Western World are unwilling to see."

An'er smiled bitterly: "Moreover, the various levels of Western governments have united. If we do not agree to their demands, we will be annihilated."

"So we can only split into several major factions, with our strength dispersed; only in this way can the Western World feel at ease."

"Indeed, a single family dominating is not good for anyone." Chen Yu nodded slightly, understanding the reason behind it.

"But over these years, the balance between us has been constantly broken. The previous alliance no longer plays much of a role, and we are all expanding crazily now."

"Because a crisis is already looming over us; if we do not strengthen ourselves, we will only be devoured by the other side."

"Who is creating this sense of crisis for you?" Chen Yu smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Certain politicians in the West." An'er sighed; in fact, he knew the reasons for everything that had happened clearly.

But regarding this situation, he was powerless.

"Politicians want you to kill each other, and while weakening each other's strength, they want to twist the Red Skull into a single rope and then have it under official jurisdiction?" Chen Yu asked: "Is the person who came up with this idea a high-level official, or someone else?"

"It is a certain ambitious politician named Samuer, who is an Assistant Minister of Yizhou." An'er said: "I, Kaza, and Luo Na De are the three major forces of the Red Skull. We all know what Samuer is doing."

"But we have no choice, because the power he holds is too immense, so we can only desperately weaken each other's strength, striving to be the last one standing."

"Such a person is truly evil." Chen Yu's brows locked tightly: "And his chances of winning are high. He uses the power in his hands and political factors to force you to kill each other."

"I can guarantee that even if the person left at the end wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory, because their strength will have been drastically weakened, and in the end, they will only become a chess piece in Samuer's hands, to be manipulated at will."

Chen Yu said: "Once he controls the Red Skull, he will have the strength to challenge the high-level authorities. When that time comes, he will logically become the symbol of power in Yizhou, and after achieving all this, he will certainly have further goals."

"Yes, I have met this person; he is very sinister and also a very ambitious person." An'er nodded with deep empathy: "After he succeeds, there will certainly be more conspiracies, but what other conspiracies there are, I do not know."

"Perhaps the truth is not far from us." Chen Yu muttered.

He came here for the God Lord, but for some reason, he felt that behind Samuer, there was vaguely the shadow of the God Lord.

Even if he was not being controlled by the God Lord, he must have a partnership with the God Lord; their relationship must be very close.

"Mr. Chen, what is your purpose in coming here?" An'er saw Chen Yu lost in thought and couldn't help but probe.

This was also a question he had always wanted to ask but dared not. He had always wanted to figure out Chen Yu's purpose for coming here, but felt that if he took the initiative to ask, it would seem a bit abrupt.

But now he felt the timing was ripe; firstly, Chen Yu should have accepted him, and secondly, he wanted to get closer to Chen Yu.

Although An'er was a warlord, his level of meticulous thinking was no less than that of those old politicians.

In fact, for someone in his position, if they didn't have so many thoughts, they would have been killed by competitors long ago.

He felt that this time he could use the Wang Ye incident to let Chen Yu help him, and at that time, even Kaza, who was behind Wang Ye, might be removed by him using this opportunity.

"The Shilaike Family, you know them, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"I know them. They are a very ancient family here that monopolizes many businesses. Although they are very low-key, the foundation of the family is stronger than any current Aristocratic Family." An'er nodded deeply.

Of course he knew the Shilaike Family; they were one of the hidden families of their Yizhou, and the sudden rise of this family made many people feel curious.

Because more than twenty years ago, the status of the Shilaike Family was average, and their financial resources were also average.

But they seemed to have received help from a mysterious person, making rapid progress in just twenty years.

Moreover, their Head of Family, Lao Shilaike, had hardly changed his appearance in these twenty-plus years. Some people exclaimed that the Shilaike Family were people chosen by the heavens.

"I know them. Mr. Chen, your visit this time is related to the Shilaike Family?" An'er was startled.

His mind quickly became active; in this instant, he weighed the pros and cons of opposing the Shilaike Family.

"Yes, their heir is Qiongsi, and I have come this time to help Qiongsi successfully inherit the position." Chen Yu said.

"Qiongsi is already the first heir; this is an open secret in the Shilaike Family. Could there be any accidents regarding his succession?" An'er was slightly surprised.

"The Shilaike Family is so vast, do you think the others will let Qiongsi inherit the position smoothly?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "My purpose in coming here this time is to ensure Qiongsi inherits the position smoothly."

"Then after Qiongsi successfully inherits the position, does it mean that the Shilaike Family will be controlled by you?" An'er keenly realized this question.
