Chapter 231: Tomorrow

"What did you just say?"

Even the usually composed Director couldn't mask his shock.

If anyone else had made such a claim, he might have brushed it off. But this was Fang Xiu, a top ten figure in the national psychic talent database. His foresight had previously averted a Grade-S Specter disaster, making him a rising star and a respected figure among the country's psychics.

When Fang Xiu spoke of the future, people listened.

"Mr. Fang, are you sure? You really foresaw the fall of the headquarters?"

The Director's disbelief was met with Fang Xiu's nod. "My foresight has never been wrong."

Fang Xiu hadn't seen the exact moment of the headquarters' downfall, but he knew that if Yan Changshou and his group succeeded, the result would be catastrophic—either destruction or severe damage.

Psychics were not ordinary people; power often twisted them, making them rebellious.

The headquarters, with its five captains and the formidable Xiao Zhenhua, could keep them in check. But if the headquarters fell, psychics across the nation would become restless, and foreign psychics would see an opportunity to strike.R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at novelhall.com Only

This wasn't just a battle; it was an all-or-nothing fight. A mere victory wouldn't suffice—only a decisive win would do.

As Fang Xiu's words sank in, the Director's face grew more serious, his eyes reflecting deep thought.

The room was swallowed by silence.

After a few moments, the Director's gaze sharpened, locking onto Fang Xiu.

"Mr. Fang, can you tell me when this destruction will happen? Is a Specter behind it?"

Fang Xiu shook his head and uttered two chilling words, "Human disaster."

The Director's eyes narrowed instantly. "A human disaster? Who's behind it?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "I heard the headquarters has a Spiritual Gadget for me as a reward?"

The Director, an experienced man, understood the unspoken message. Fang Xiu was making it clear that such valuable information wouldn't come for free.

Rather than being offended, the Director recognized the practicality of the request—after all, this information was worth more than gold.

"What exactly are you asking for, Mr. Fang?"

"Mr. Fang, I agree to your terms. Now, can you tell me more about this future? When will the headquarters face this disaster?" the Director asked earnestly.

Fang Xiu didn't hesitate. "Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" The Director was taken aback, a trace of disbelief flickering in his eyes.

Had Fang Xiu predicted the headquarters' fall years from now, the Director might have found it more plausible, due to the growing Specter threat. But tomorrow? With the five captains guarding the headquarters, it seemed impossible that it could be destroyed so quickly.

However, the Director wisely kept his doubts to himself. Questioning Fang Xiu without knowing all the facts would only reveal his own ignorance.

"What will cause the fall?" he asked.

"The headquarters will be attacked tomorrow night by someone working with the Pokers from within," Fang Xiu answered plainly.

The Director's expression darkened as he considered the implications.

Xiao Zhenhua scoffed. "Fang Xiu, is this really what you saw? Do you honestly think a mere traitor and the Pokers could bring down the headquarters? You have no idea how strong we are."

Fang Xiu knew exactly what Xiao Zhenhua was hinting at—Xuanyuan Sword. With such a powerful weapon in their possession, the headquarters indeed had the ability to suppress almost any threat.

But Fang Xiu's next words cut through their confidence like a knife. "What if Fang Moli dies?"

Both the Director and Xiao Zhenhua froze, shock rippling through them.

"Impossible!" Xiao Zhenhua exclaimed, disbelief etched across his face. "Who in the world could possibly take down Fang Moli?"

Fang Xiu didn't bother to elaborate. He simply added, "It's not just Fang Moli who will die; you two are destined for the same fate."

The Director's frown deepened, his eyes becoming unreadable windows to his thoughts.

"Mr. Fang, did you see this exact future? What's the reason behind Fang Moli's death?" the Director questioned, deliberately ignoring the mention of his own demise to focus on Fang Moli.

"Yan Changshou will kill Fang Moli," Fang Xiu replied calmly, dropping yet another bombshell.

The Director's expression shifted instantly. "Are you telling me that Yan Changshou is the insider collaborating with the Pokers?"

"Exactly. Yan Changshou has been working with the Pokers for quite some time. He's already undergone Specterization. Haven't you noticed he's been making fewer public appearances lately?"

The Director fell into deep thought. With Fang Xiu's revelation, he realized the truth. Given how occupied the five captains usually were, he hadn't paid attention to this detail before.
