[Tianjing]

In a breakfast diner.

Zhang Yue was having breakfast with Lin Tian, Tian Xin'er, Chen Long, and the others.

On Night Stand and Mage Stars Spark Fire each had a deep-fried dough stick in their right hand and a smartphone in their left.

Meanwhile, the diner's television was broadcasting the news.

"At 10 AM tomorrow, the first stage of the World Finals will take place in [Divine Realm]. According to the rules, Divine Realm is opening today. Contestants from each country must arrive in Divine Realm by the end of the day to receive their assignments and spend the night there."

"Reportedly, our nation's representatives—Moon Mark, Ice Emperor, Seraph, and Seven Nights—have already landed in Divine Realm. We hope they can achieve even better results this year, continuing to bring glory and pride to our Dragon Nation."

"The rules for the 100th World Finals remain the same as previous years. The matches will be globally livestreamed. Let us eagerly anticipate the results…"

As an event tied to national honor, the finals had attracted massive public attention.

Inside the diner, patrons of all ages were chatting enthusiastically:

"I hope we don't end up matched with the Lighthouse Nation this year. That mythical-class Ghost Swordsman, Elfa, is just too strong. Last year, even when our top three—Moon Mark, Ice Emperor, and Seraph—teamed up, they still got defeated by him alone. That's why we lost to the Lighthouse Nation…"

"Eastern Cherry Nation is so arrogant. Just because they're doing alright, they've got the nerve to provoke Dragon Nation. They even said online that they'll crush us in this year's finals?"

"Well, let's shut them up with strength. To all the contestants who qualified: fight hard! As a third-generation tycoon from Beihai with assets worth tens of billions, I promise this—if our nation makes it to the top three this year, I will personally reward all participating heroes with 100 million."

The moment he finished speaking, everyone in the diner turned to look at the buzz-cut young man.

Even the busy diner owner couldn't help but glance over.

"A third-gen tycoon with billions in assets, eating fried dough sticks at a humble diner like this in Tianjing? Rare sight!"

"What, I can't like dough sticks since childhood? I save where I can and use the savings to invest in nurturing national talent."

Saying this, the buzz-cut young man pulled out his phone and made a public donation of one billion to the Dragon Nation Professional Guild Development Fund, right in front of everyone.

"Whoa! Big moves! Brother, I was narrow-minded. To apologize, let me buy you three more dough sticks."

"I'll take five!"

"Deal, hahaha!"

At this moment, Ouyang Ling'er, seated at the same table as Zhang Yue, looked at him and said, "Guild leader, slow down! You're moving so fast, even the Autumn Mountain Car God can't keep up with your taillight."

Overlord Blade chimed in, "We just reached the Seventh World. Don't tell me you're already at the Ninth, guild leader?"

Zhang Yue took a bite of his dough stick and a sip of soy milk. "Not that fast."

After a pause, Zhang Yue looked at Ouyang Ling'er and said, "Help me check on this Chen Jun."

Ouyang Ling'er, her mouth full of soy milk, asked curiously, "Why check on him? He's not even handsome~"

Lin Tian adjusted his glasses with his index finger. "Didn't you say last time that his God-Binding Curse came from the Eastern Cherry Nation?"

Ouyang Ling'er suddenly remembered. "Oh right! This traitor colluded with the Eastern Cherry Nation. Let's investigate—thoroughly."

She immediately pulled out her laptop.

However, as she dug deeper, she was startled by what she found.

"I hacked into the Chen Army's system and discovered that during Chen Jun's tenure, he cooperated multiple times with a family from Longcheng under the banner of the Chen Army."

Hearing this, Chen Long, munching on a pancake, fell silent for a moment before saying, "Seriously, are we really discussing this in front of me?"

Just then, Chen Long received a flying message from a guild member: "Guild leader, something's wrong! Someone hacked into the Chen Army's system. They're incredibly skilled and seem well-prepared. They even fried our top programmer's CPU."

Looking at Ouyang Ling'er, who was furiously typing away, Chen Long calmly replied, "Got it, I know."

"Guild leader, why are you so calm?"

"I mean… don't worry. That hacker probably doesn't have malicious intentions and won't harm the guild. Just carry on with your tasks."

As soon as Chen Long sent the reply, Ouyang Ling'er exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, "Wow! The Chen Army's guild fund has so much money. Can I steal a little?"

Pfft!

Chen Long immediately sprayed soy milk everywhere.

"Sis, please, the Chen Army's guild leader is right here."

Not until Wu Haotian's reminder did Ouyang Ling'er realize that Chen Long, the subject of her conversation, was sitting across from her, staring in disbelief.

Awkwardly, she forced a polite smile. "I'm kidding!"

Clearing her throat, Ouyang Ling'er continued typing. "Chen Jun's God-Binding Curse Technique seems to have come from a guild in Longcheng."

"Which guild?" Zhang Yue asked.

Ouyang Ling'er uttered a name that shocked everyone present: "Empire."

"Isn't that the guild managed by Ice Emperor, one of our nation's top three pros?"

Wu Haotian was incredulous. "If Chen Jun's God-Binding Curse Technique came from Empire Guild, and considering that such techniques only originate from Eastern Cherry Nation, which doesn't sell them publicly, then… does this mean Empire Guild has dealings with Eastern Cherry Nation?"

"Could Ice Emperor be a traitor?" Overlord Blade blurted, drawing the attention of everyone in the diner.

He quickly shut his mouth.

Li Yue firmly denied it. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible. Ice Emperor would never betray our nation. I've followed him for years. Aside from Asura God, no one is more patriotic than him."

"He couldn't possibly betray Dragon Nation."

"Ice Emperor isn't a traitor," Warrior Knight Owl said. "Watch past tournament highlights. In recent years, whenever we faced Eastern Cherry Nation, Ice Emperor was always the most ferocious, earning the nickname 'Ghost Hunter.'"

"If that's the case, there might be a mole within Empire Guild."

Overlord Blade suggested, "Let's report this information directly to the authorities and let them handle it."

"That's not an option," Lin Tian analyzed calmly. "Without solid evidence, no one will believe us, and it might alert the enemy."

"Isn't the God-Binding Curse Technique proof?" One-Night Stand asked. "Ouyang already found out that Chen Jun's technique came from Empire Guild. Doesn't that prove Empire Guild has private dealings with Eastern Cherry Nation?"

Ouyang Ling'er hesitated, speaking softly. "Actually… I didn't confirm that Chen Jun's God-Binding Curse Technique was bought from Empire Guild. It's just a guess. An 80% certain guess, though~"

"In that case, let's gather evidence first."

Zhang Yue said, "Start by capturing Chen Jun."
