Mei and Lan felt deep despair. After listening to Zhang Lu’s words, the two women learned about the dire situation facing the organization.

Since the Ghost Team and several Hunting Teams were wiped out by the laser zone inside the Blood Wolf Base, everything could be explained. If it was claimed that Ye Fan had taken them down with his own hands, that would be impossible.

But the current situation is real and compelling, making it hard not to believe.

"When coercing the Terminator, the organization must have estimated the threat the Terminator posed. If it weren’t for Batu and others’ betrayal, with hostages constraining the Terminator, he wouldn’t have done such a thing. Now that the whereabouts of the hostages have been found, and the rescue operation is almost certain to succeed, it’s evident that with just a slight move of a finger, the Terminator can trap the Ghost Team and Hunting Teams in the laser zone. This is both apparent and easy to understand. However, the Ghost Team was the organization’s biggest trump card, and to die like this is indeed terrifying and shocking," Mei whispered with infinite sadness.

"One by one, these warriors didn’t die in a fair fight but fell to mere laser weapons. Such a way to die is too tragic. The Terminator is truly ruthless," Lan said, full of melancholy.

Accepting this reality, Mei and Lan couldn’t figure out why the organization might be delisted in the future.

Since Zhang Lu couldn’t have leaked this news, they believed he either didn’t know or truly didn’t want to disclose too much.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems Ye Fan has some collaboration with the Fire Phoenix?

The Terminator wiped out so many of Sky Net’s experts in the Blood Wolf Base. If the Fire Phoenix wasn’t involved, it’s impossible to believe. It seems the Terminator’s relationship with the Fire Phoenix isn’t as combative as the outside world believes.

As for the relationship between the Terminator, the Fire Phoenix, and the Butcher, none of the parties involved have said anything.

The outside world believes the three have parted ways. Now, it seems that’s not the case.

If Sky Net can be delisted, the only explanation is that the Terminator will conspire with the Fire Phoenix and the Butcher to annihilate Sky Net. This would be the only way to delist Sky Net; there is no other possibility.

"A glorious Sky Net Organization, emerging powerfully and sweeping all opposition, unexpectedly fell at the hands of the Terminator. Coercing the Terminator was indeed a double-edged sword, but the damage to Sky Net was terrifying," Mei sighed silently. "It was on the verge of dominating the Underworld, becoming a peak force like the God Organization, but now it’s headed for decline. It’s truly incomprehensible, and if word gets out, the entire Underworld’s powers might find it hard to accept or imagine."

"In my opinion, the organization shouldn’t have provoked the Terminator, which wouldn’t have led to this disaster. It was a foolish mistake that resulted in the current catastrophic outcome," Lan regretted. If the organization hadn’t focused on the Terminator, its rise would have been slow, trying to replace the Deceitful Fox would require an unimaginable price, but there would not be this calamity, leading to certain doom. It’s exceedingly sad.

But what good is regret now?

Even if Mei and Lan worried themselves sick, it wouldn’t change the elders’ decision or have any effect on the current outcome.

Everything is set in motion, and nothing can be altered.

Zhang Lu and Qiu Wen’s actions were a great success. Due to their extensive knowledge of the island villa, they encountered no obstacles and controlled Mei and Lan, keeping all threatening factors in check.

Batu, Reiss, and Jona were extremely delighted, unexpectedly excited. The Terminator’s courage and Sky Net’s impending doom are all praiseworthy matters.

"The elders of Sky Net could never have imagined the cost of coercing the Terminator would be so severe."

"Maybe the elders naively thought that once they had used the Terminator, it wouldn’t be too late to destroy him, for Sky Net was not foolish—the elders know better than anyone what the consequences are of provoking the Terminator."

"So once he was provoked, it would be a fight to the death. If in the end they didn’t destroy the Terminator, Sky Net would suffer the consequences, and this was clearer to the elders than anyone."

"What the elders never dreamed of was the Terminator breaking the game first, achieving this victory."

"This is the outcome of provoking the Terminator—Sky Net deserves the huge catastrophe it faced."

"Previously, powers in the Underworld believed the Terminator was being compelled by Sky Net to work for them, looking down on him. Well, once the Terminator destroys Sky Net, his reputation will not only recover but rise to a new peak."

"Using Sky Net’s power to destroy the Deceitful Fox and then swallow Sky Net—such courage and daring could only belong to the Terminator."

Batu, Jona, and Reiss had many thoughts at once.

From afar, Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang jogged over.

"Sister Dao, you’re finally here." Before approaching, Lu Xiangxiang’s loud voice came through.

"Zhang Lu, Sister Dao, long time no see, you’re just on time." Lu Xiangxiang ran to Qiu Wen and Zhang Lu’s side, extremely joyous.

"You’ve had a tough time, haven’t you?" Qiu Wen asked with concern.

"Hard time? Oh, of course, we’ve had a hard time." Lu Xiangxiang, initially taken aback, then tried her best to put on a very aggrieved look.

"How about it? Weren’t you scared?" Qiu Wen asked Liu Shangxiang.

"It’s been okay, besides the three meals a day, whenever I wanted to eat, there was always food. We almost had no free time. If you plan the day reasonably, you can run on the beach in the morning, enjoy the sea breeze, cool down under a tree if it’s hot, or swim in the sea. Life has been comfortable here. If you hadn’t come, I might have liked it so much I wouldn’t want to leave," Liu Shangxiang remarked.

"Ah, weren’t you hostages? How could life be so comfortable?" Qiu Wen was astonished.

"Were you here for a vacation or taken hostage?" Zhang Lu was speechless.

"I have a strong mentality, and since they didn’t restrict our freedom, allowing us to move around the island, I just treated it like a vacation," Liu Shangxiang said innocently.

"You’ve got a really broad mind. Everyone outside was worried sick, while you live it up here," Qiu Wen said, amused and frustrated.

"If we hadn’t thought about entertaining ourselves, we would’ve gotten bored to death here," Lu Xiangxiang laughed.
