Upon returning from the Golden Cooked Palace, Yang Xuan immediately requested a flagship from Ges, arranging for the Paradise City authorities to have all the women boarded onto the vessel. After half a day of bustling activity, he dispatched half a squad of Ghost Agents and two squadrons of Marines to escort the passenger ship away from Paradise City.

Unlike his own disarmament upon entering the city to travel lightly, the Marines boarded fully armed. Yang Ying was confident that twenty-four Marines clad in power armor would effectively deter any ill intentions from the passenger ship's crew, ensuring the ladies remained undisturbed.

After sending off the majority of his personnel, Yang Ying was left with only six Ghost Agents in Paradise City. Of the two Ghost Agent Colonels who were originally by his side, only one remained; the other had boarded the ship, belonging to that half-squad of Ghost Agents.

As for the passenger ship's destination, Yang Ying decided to send them first to Tulan City for a period. Tulan City was one of the two orbital cities acquired as mission compensation by the Tulan Mercenary Corps for covering the rear during the Jupiter withdrawal mission over half a year prior.

Currently, everyone in Tulan City, from top to bottom, consisted of Yang Ying’s clones, making it one of the places he trusted the most.

Even without dwelling on it, Yang Ying knew that spies were certainly present among this group of women. However, the entire security system of Tulan City had been designed by the Ghost Agent Corps, far surpassing the standards of this era.

Once any spy arrived in Tulan City, whether they could transmit intelligence, and what kind of intelligence they could send, would all be under the control of the Ghost Agents.

The urgency to dispatch them immediately after viewing the palace was due to a premonition. Yang Ying always trusted his instincts, and Naboo wouldn't keep him for three days just to give him a tour of the city.

Over the next three days, since more than a dozen beautiful women connected to him were now on the ship, Yang Ying donned his gem-studded golden mask and strolled through Paradise City with his six Ghost Agents.

At this time, Paradise City Two had only recently been established but already displayed considerable prosperity. However, intelligence reports Yang Ying received indicated that this city still lagged significantly behind Paradise City One.

Furthermore, the loss of a large number of low, mid, and high-level management personnel to Paradise City One had resulted in a degree of chaos in Paradise City Two. Restoring it to the brilliance of City One was clearly not something achievable in a short time.

During these three days, Yang Kang's horizons were broadened, though he wished they hadn't been, as the things he witnessed were infuriating. Paradise City featured countless unheard-of services, repeatedly testing Yang Ying's limits of tolerance. He had previously sent people to survey the ruins of Paradise City One, gaining a general understanding of it, and thus had some mental preparation for the cruel, cold-blooded, and insane aspects within.

Yet, upon actually arriving here, he realized that what he thought he knew amounted to nothing. Compared to Paradise City, the Santos underground laboratory of the Caesar Group seemed like paradise.

To give the simplest example, there was a highly renowned restaurant in the core district. One of its signature dishes used human hearts as ingredients, rumored to even extend one's lifespan, making it extremely popular.

Yang Ying immediately left the restaurant, then turned back and unleashed a Psychic Storm, enveloping the entire establishment. Afterward, personnel from Paradise City investigated, finding not a single living soul inside.

Because of this incident, Yang Ying and Naboo had a heated argument, but as the approach of the third day neared, it was ultimately dropped unresolved.

During this period, the transport ship arrived at Gray Port, then transferred to a passenger vessel entirely controlled by the Tulan Mercenary Corps, heading towards Tulan City.

Regarding the matter of this group of peerless beauties, Yang Ying also offered explanations to Katerina. The kind and gentle Katerina showed no signs of displeasure.

In the early hours of the third day, Yang Ying stood on a balcony, gazing up at the starry sky, idly turning the hilt of a lightsaber in his hand. He remained silent for a long time.

"Sir, you have been standing here for three hours," the last remaining Ghost Agent Colonel approached Yang Ying and reminded him.

"Is that so? Time flies," Yang Ying retracted his upward gaze and looked down. "The starry sky is so beautiful, yet it can nurture a place like Paradise City. This world is truly too insane."

The Ghost Agent Colonel did not reply. He knew Yang Ying was merely talking to himself.

"The third day has arrived. Whatever Naboo intends to do will become clear today," Yang Ying said, returning to his room.

At this moment, at a secret base in the distance, Yang Ying’s permanent clone was conversing with Kalia.

"The General Staff has developed several contingency plans capable of handling any sudden situation. Based on what the Commander's main body has seen and heard in Paradise City, coupled with Naboo's behavior and the latest intelligence analysis from the asteroid belt, I personally favor this one," Kalia manipulated a light screen a few times, pulling up the plan document.

The clone glanced at it and nodded. "Is this your assessment?" ... Kalia nodded: "These are several plans, this one is the most probable, Commander. I heard you are deeply dissatisfied with Paradise City and wish to..."

"Yes," the clone nodded firmly. "Paradise City is one of humanity's largest cesspools. When they put even human hearts on the menu, what wouldn't they do? This city, and the guests who frequent it—they all deserve execution. Just looking at it makes me sick. If I weren't waiting for the General Staff to finalize the plans, I would have summoned an atomic bomb long ago and turned Paradise City into stardust in the cosmos!"

The clone’s tone was exceptionally resolute. Yang Ying's murderous intent towards the entire city had begun to accumulate during his tours over the past few days.

In all matters of the world, there is a limit. Paradise City had far exceeded the boundary in Yang Ying's mind, so he had long decided to annihilate the city. The Pirate King Naboo himself, along with the Caribbean Pirates, had also been marked as enemies by Yang Ying.

The information displayed on the data disk Naboo had Fatty deliver previously was indeed formidable. Yang Ying had consistently underestimated the Caribbean Pirates, the foremost pirate faction. This group was intricately connected to the entire Dark World and, through it, connected to the normal world.

The fact that the Pirate King Naboo could preside over a treasure trove like Paradise City demonstrated, from one angle, the influence of the Caribbean Pirates.

However, the shares of Paradise City were not solely owned by Naboo. Although Naboo held the lion's share, the Caribbean Pirates had agents in both the business and political spheres. They served as a protective umbrella for Paradise City; even if Paradise City One was destroyed, they could rapidly mobilize vast resources to rebuild a second Paradise City.

Nevertheless, in Yang Ying's view, their resources, however vast, were finite. Perhaps after Paradise City Two was destroyed, they could build a Paradise City Three, or even Four or Five. But they couldn't build them indefinitely.

When it came to attrition, Yang Ying had no fear. For every Paradise City they built, he would destroy one.

Naboo merely intended to exchange Paradise City Two for Hulas's head, thereby restoring Paradise City's glory, while Yang Ying planned to eliminate every future Paradise City as well.

Against the backdrop of each party harboring their own agenda, the grand stage centered on Paradise City Two commenced!

On the morning of the third day, the Observer suddenly transmitted a Red Alert: a ship approaching Paradise City was causing significant problems.

Yang Ying opened the alert to view it. According to the Observer's through-scan of the vessel, there were two life forms within whose reactions were abnormal—both were exceedingly well-built, and their life energy and mental energy readings were frighteningly high.

"Heh heh, two masters with seven-digit psychic intensity? Judging by their physique, they must be peak Ape-Man masters, right?"

Yang Ying pondered for a moment, then pulled up a perspective map of Naboo’s residence. Within that large palace, there was also one expert with a seven-digit psychic intensity. Yang Ying had detected this several days ago; clearly, the reading belonged to the peak Ape-Man master, Agen.

Agen's presence was also the reason Yang Ying had refrained from using an atomic bomb to obliterate the entire city these past few days.

"Two peak Ape-Man masters arriving in Paradise City are clearly not here for tea with Agen. They are here to deal with a traitor! So Naboo kept me here until this moment."

Yang Ying had now connected all of Naboo's preceding actions. It was obvious that Naboo resorted to this tactic because Yang Ying refused to lend the Observer.

"Damn it, Naboo is willing to sacrifice this Paradise City Two, even spreading news to lure Hulas into attacking! He’s using both me and himself as bait. But with two peak Ape-Man masters arriving at once, I wonder if Naboo has countermeasures," Yang Ying calculated rapidly in his mind. His first consideration was whether or not to inform Naboo of this news.

"In Naboo's view, with me in Paradise City, once I detect Hulas's attack, I will have no choice but to cooperate with him. Judging by Agen's current location, he is clearly monitoring me, probably to prevent me from getting the news and running away. But fortunately, all this is within Kalia's plan. Let me also step onto this grand stage and put on a show!"

These thoughts were completed in a flash. Once Yang Ying understood, he looked up and shouted loudly, "Master Agen, the time you and Naboo were waiting for has arrived! Hulas and another peak Ape-Man master are aboard a ship heading for Port Seven. As for what to do next, leave that to me to handle!"

At that moment, the signal for Agen displayed on the light screen instantly activated, and he suddenly rushed out. Simultaneously, a voice sounded in Yang Ying's ear: "Thank you, I apologize for the trouble this time."

Yang Ying had never heard this voice before; it clearly originated from Agen's telepathic transmission. , for more chapters, please log in to , support the author, and support genuine reading!
