Chapter 27: Secret meeting in bar, Griffin Family’s action

Compared to Ritchie's ravenous eating, John was much more elegant.

He glanced at Ritchie and said calmly, "Indeed, there is something. How many men do you have under your command now?"

Ritchie paused, his actions halting, and he looked at John warily. "Why are you asking? That's classified information!"

John picked up his tea and took a sip slowly. It was a sensitive question.

"Never mind," John set down his cup. He realized it was impossible to explain to Ritchie immediately.

"I'm not a spy, nor do I mean you any harm. What I'm about to tell you is very important."

Ritchie looked at John, half-listening, as his attention drifted back to the delicious food in front of him.

However, John's next words made him sit up straight.

"I know you're running for the position of legion commander in the Flame Legion. I don't care what you have to do, even if you have to use your grandfather's and uncle's connections. You need to get rid of Kevin. This is crucial."

John emphasized the last sentence.

Ritchie stood up abruptly, glaring at John, his voice edged with suspicion, "Who are you, really?"

His reaction was justified. The information John had just revealed was classified. The Flame Legion was an extra unit being formed specifically for the world of Gods. It was still in the planning stages and hadn't been finalized. Even high-ranking officials in the military knew very little about it, yet John seemed to know everything.

John considered Ritchie's intense reaction and came up with a plausible explanation. "I have a unique talent that allows me to foresee future events."

"Really?" Ritchie scrutinized John, starting to believe him.

The world of Gods was mysterious, and having such a talent wasn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Besides, Ritchie had thoroughly investigated John and found nothing suspicious.

Given John's background, it was unlikely he would know about these matters unless it was indeed due to a unique talent.

Ritchie sat back down, curious. "So, what did you foresee happening in the future?"

John shook his head mysteriously. "I can't say."

"Fine," Ritchie grumbled, giving up on his curiosity. He resumed eating, mumbling through a mouthful of food, "If the boss asks, I'll make sure to take the Flame Legion."

With his connections, securing the position of legion commander was no problem.

In the previous timeline, Ritchie had avoided using his family connections to avoid controversy within the military and had allowed Kevin to take the position.

However, Kevin turned out to be a coward who eventually defected to the Dark Humans, leading to the Flame Legion's destruction and the subsequent downfall of Earth.

In John's mind, Kevin had to be removed, but it needed to be done without causing unnecessary conflict with the military.

"Boss, there's one more thing," Ritchie said, putting down his chopsticks and looking at John. "Have you heard about Gaia planning to establish a city in a week? He invited me to help, and I decided to check it out."

John frowned and said coldly, "Why get involved in that? Don't go!"

The first to establish a territory would get a hidden instance reward, essentially allowing them to endlessly farm skill stones.

This was a reward John was determined to get.

Ritchie looked puzzled, not understanding why John was reacting so strongly. He explained, "Boss, I'm not really going to help. It seems like Gaia has made some deal with a city lord. I'm just going to observe and learn so that when we establish our city, we have some experience."

"What?" John exclaimed.

This likely wasn't just a deal with a city lord, but an alliance with the Dark Humans!

The cities and even the novice villages in the world of Gods were under the influence of the Dark Humans.

John hadn't expected Gaia to align with the Dark Humans so quickly.

With the help of the Dark Humans, Gaia would definitely succeed in establishing a city.

John couldn't let that happen and had to stop Gaia. 

Even if it meant confronting the Dark Humans prematurely.

Ritchie, seeing John's reaction, asked, "Boss, is there a problem?"

"No," John replied, not wanting to explain further. He decided to handle this matter himself.

Gaia was backed by the Mike White Family, a powerful force with influence in several countries.

Ritchie's current status and power were no match for the Mike White Family.

If it was John, he must conflict with Mike White Family.

But John, with his divine attributes already fused, wasn't afraid.

"Ritchie, I have some equipment here. I'll sell it to you at market price," John said, emptying the equipment he had gathered over the past few days from killing monsters.

Gurgle.

A clatter followed as over a hundred sets of equipment, mostly first-tier and of ordinary quality, spilled onto the ground.

"Wow, Boss, that's a lot!" Ritchie exclaimed. No wonder John leveled up so quickly; how many bosses had he slaughtered to get all this gear?

But soon, Ritchie's excitement dimmed. "Boss, can I owe you? I'm out of money."

For equipping the artifact Diamond Giant Shield,Ritchie spent a lot of money.

Ten million dollar!it exhausted his private coffer,but just increase the strength to 500 point.

John, not in need of money, nodded, "Fine, you can owe me. I'm logging off now. Contact me if you need anything."

With that, he logged off on the spot.

Ritchie looked at the pile of equipment, his heart leaping with joy. "Haha, I'm rich!"

With this gear, he could quickly build up his forces.

"Right, I forgot to mention the Griffin Family!" Ritchie suddenly remembered.

Yesterday, the Griffin Family had contacted him, wanting his Diamond Giant Shield.

Of course, Ritchie had refused outright.

The Griffin Family is an Ancient Martial Arts Family with formidable power, but in the real world, Ritchie is not afraid of them.

He suspects that Aron is somehow involved in this matter.

The Griffin Family might target John.

"Forget it, I'll warn the boss tomorrow," Ritchie decided, not in a hurry. He packed up the equipment on the ground and left Jade City.

...

In the real world, dawn had just broken.

Snap!

John snapped his fingers, and a small fireball formed at his fingertips.

The attributes had truly fused into reality!

John was overjoyed and excited. He dispersed the fireball, knowing its destructive power. Though it seemed small, it was strong enough to destroy the entire villa, so it was best not to experiment recklessly.

In addition to mastering magical skills, his physical attributes had significantly improved. His body was now filled with immense power.

John felt no discomfort despite the sudden increase in strength.

In his previous life, his power was far more terrifying than it was now, and controlling this amount of power was effortless.

Whoosh...

His enhanced attributes also sharpened his senses. He could clearly hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Sini was taking a shower.

A mischievous smile appeared on John's face.

With his super-high agility, he moved silently and entered the bathroom.

"Ah!" Sini screamed, startled.

But then her voice changed, becoming sultry and suggestive.

...

Two hours later, the bathroom door opened.

Sini lay limp against John, her face flushed and eyes glazed, weakly saying, "Master, you are too strong. You should find a mistress or a sister for me."

She meant it sincerely.

John was too powerful. She had used every trick she knew, including some shameful ones she learned online, but she still couldn't satisfy John. She ended up feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

If this continued, she feared she might break.

John didn't answer, gently placing Sini on the sofa and softly saying, "Rest for a while. I'll prepare breakfast."

"Okay," Sini replied shyly, lowering her head. She didn't want to agree, but her lower body ached, and she was too weak to move, needing time to recover.

Listening to the sounds from the kitchen, Sini's face lit up with a blissful smile.

Her master never treated her like a slave.

At that moment, she felt truly free.

"This is so nice," Sini murmured to herself.

Buzz!

Her phone vibrated softly on the table, indicating a message.

Curious, Sini checked the message, and her smile vanished. Her body trembled slightly with fear.

"Tonight at midnight, Pale Mountain Park."

The message was followed by a leaf symbol.

It was from the Griffin Family!

Sini instinctively clenched her fists, biting her lip hard, her eyes filled with despair and sorrow.

The Griffin Family had found her.

Pale Mountain Park was in Down City, not far from here.

Sini felt she had no choice but to comply.

Her whereabouts had been exposed. If she refused, she feared for John's safety.

The kitchen door opened, and John walked out carrying a simple breakfast.

Sini quickly regained her composure and deleted the message.
