[Amos: ...]

[Amos: All right, I shouldn’t have asked.]

[Let’s postpone the meeting with Lord Vesinu for a moment, I need to report the situation to him. Come back to the ’Disciple’s Sanctuary’ in one hour.]

[The figure in the black robe behind the podium suddenly disappeared.]

[Only you are left in the Meeting Room No. 11...]

Seeing this, Lin Xun left the Disciple’s Sanctuary and contacted his female boss to report the situation.

The call was answered immediately, and Li Xingyue’s voice came from the other end.

"Lin Xun, did you clear the hidden Chapter?"

"How are you, have you been hurt?"

Dying in Slaughter Mode as a Wandering Soul reduces the strength of the soul’s upper limit, naturally causing damage to the soul.

The female boss doesn’t know the specific situation inside the hidden Chapter, let alone the fact that in this election, if the Shell dies, the Soul will be annihilated immediately.

On the other end of the phone, Li Xingyue anxiously waited for Lin Xun’s response.

To ensure that Lin Xun wouldn’t get into trouble, she even applied for the extremely precious ’Escape Bookmark’ from the organization.

This kind of bookmark is very rare, only Apostles with a certain level of invasion authority and extremely good luck can acquire it in the ’Library Keeper’s’ transaction list.

The probability of getting an ’Escape Bookmark’ is much lower than that of winning a lottery jackpot.

"Boss, I have both good news and bad news."

At this point and he’s still keeping her in suspense!

Li Xingyue wished she could go to Lin Xun’s rental house right now, hang him up, and interrogate him thoroughly.

"Speak quickly!"

When she applied for the ’Escape Bookmark’, she had already prepared for Lin Xun failing to win the position of Disciple.

The best outcome, of course, would be if Lin Xun became the twelfth Disciple.

The next best outcome would be if he didn’t secure the highest number of kills but still cleared the hidden Chapter and was able to enter the Council of the ’New World’ smoothly.

The worst-case scenario would be him using the ’Escape Bookmark’ to leave the election halfway through... No! It was Lin Xun’s stubborn temperament flaring up, insisting on competing for the position of Disciple even if it meant reducing his soul’s strength, leading to the final...

Now that Lin Xun was able to call, and judging from his tone, he hadn’t suffered any soul injuries, it meant the worst had not happened.

"Boss, the good news is that I cleared the hidden Chapter. Apart from two hostile Apostles who escaped using the ’Escape Bookmark’, I have eliminated all the other Apostle candidates."

"If all goes well, I should become the twelfth Disciple tomorrow."

Li Xingyue’s eyes widened, the surprise was so sudden that she didn’t react for a moment.

"You, you mean, you’ve eliminated all the other candidates and are the final victor?"

"Yes, to be precise, I missed two candidates who fled midway."

Li Xingyue suddenly slumped in her office chair, letting out a sigh of relief.

She clenched her fists tightly and couldn’t help but wave them a couple of times. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

That’s right! How could the person I, Li Xingyue, chose disappoint me?

"Boss, you seem to be getting too excited; I still have bad news to share."

Li Xingyue rolled her eyes: "You’re about to become the twelfth Disciple, what bad news could you possibly have?"

"Stop joking around; I’m buying a flight to Yunjing right now to submit your application to the council!"

"At the very least, I should get you a position as a senior council member, which is only fitting for your accomplishments!"

Lin Xun was taken aback.

What council could it be, if not the core organization of the ’Apostle Security Council’, the ’Apostle Council’?

Among his teammates in the hidden Chapter, there was an elite Apostle with a Death Mage Shell, Du Cheng, who was the leader of Jinling’s regulatory team. It was said that he was about to enter the sixth difficulty.

If he could clear a sixth difficulty Chapter without hindrance, he would be able to enter the official core organization ’Apostle Council’.

It was said that, apart from specially recruited personnel, every council member was at least a sixth difficulty Apostle, who were truly top-level elites.

The council members also had different levels, including council member, senior council member, nine directors, and the highest level: chairman.

It was said that the threshold for becoming a senior council member was the seventh difficulty. His becoming a senior council member would be an unprecedented promotion!

Don’t think that being the twelfth Disciple in the ’New World’ and merely being a senior council member in the official organization is somewhat low.

You should know that Lin Xun is still lurking in the ’New World’, a covert operative who hasn’t surfaced yet. His becoming a senior council member would already be an exceptional promotion within an exceptional promotion.

If he manages to obliterate the hostile organization and successfully lands ashore, any position he attains would not be outrageous.

For him to be suddenly chosen as a high-ranking council member while he is still infiltrating the ’New World’ Organization would certainly catch the attention of those who are paying attention.

Perhaps the organization would even have to assign him some special tasks to provide him with the necessary qualifications to be elected for a senior position.

"Every three years, another three years, when can I finally land ashore? In the end, wouldn’t I turn out to be the Big Boss of the New World? "

Lin Xun shivered at the thought and quickly shook his head to banish this outrageous idea.

"Leader, there really is a bad news... or perhaps it might be good news from the organization’s perspective."

Li Xingyue furrowed her brows, finally confirming that he was not joking: "Speak up!"

"The Sovereign of the New World wants to meet me in reality and preside over my coronation ceremony as a Disciple."

Bang!

Li Xingyue’s mobile phone fell to the ground. She quickly picked it up:

"You, you’re saying that the leader of the New World wants to meet you? In the real world?"

"Yes, Amos didn’t tell me the exact time and location, only that an hour later, no, now it is 52 minutes, to enter the Disciple’s Sanctuary again."

"No! It’s too dangerous!"

Li Xingyue blurted out.

She knew that if Lin Xun met the leader of the New World in reality, it represents an excellent assassination opportunity for the officials!

The ’Sovereign’ of the New World has always been elusive. The officials do not even know the gender, let alone the nationality of the person.

All they know is that the ’Sovereign’ is incredibly powerful, and any attempt to assassinate them would be futile facing such powerful Apostles. The destructive power of all modern weapons is negligible.

Apostles have various methods to resist, evade, and even ignore the extreme power of modern weapons.

The only threat to an advanced Apostle would be another Apostle!

Success of the operation aside, many people would certainly die, and Lin Xun will be the first in the line of fire!

Even though Lin Xun has the advantage of having multiple Shells, against the supreme power of the Sovereign who rules the entire New World, all their so-called advantages are reduced to nothing.

Li Xingyue was overwhelmed with a thought: to have Lin Xun immediately abandon his cover and leave the New World organization.

With Lin Xun’s potential, he could grow to become the most powerful Apostle, not less than any powerful Apostle, and even single-handedly eliminate all Apostles of the New World.

But would the organization give up on such a tempting opportunity to trust her judgment?

"Don’t act rashly, wait for my message!"

She hastily ended the call and decided to call her Uncle Li Long, the deputy council chairman, to ask for his advice.

To her, the power of the ’Sovereign’ of the New World is unsurpassable, and she must seek assistance from the deputy council chairman, even the council chairman, to solve it.

But her fingertips had yet to press the call button.

"If I tell my uncle the situation..."

"What if he also agrees to use Lin Xun as bait and enforce an assassination operation against the ’Sovereign’ of the New World?"

"Would I still have the chance to oppose then?"

"But if I don’t tell my uncle, how should I resolve the current predicament?"

Li Xingyue pursed her lips, and glanced at the empty office.

The hustle and bustle continued out on the street.

Yet she felt a deep sense of loneliness and helplessness.

"Who can tell me... What should I do?"

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palm deep enough to draw blood, but she didn’t notice.

...

After a long hesitation, Li Xingyue finally pressed the call button.

She had made up her mind.

If her uncle’s thinking is completely divergent from hers, she would rather rebel against the organization and protect Lin Xun!

If needed, she will persuade Lin Xun to give up his Disciple status and leave the New World organization!

Nobody understands Lin Xun’s potential better than she does. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs would be the most foolish decision.

As she pressed the call button, she couldn’t tell herself whether she was doing this for Lin Xun’s potential or something else.
