World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 247 - 131: The Guardian’s Loyal Fans

Shi Yong’s words clearly caught Sam off guard.

Although he had seen the photo in the other’s hand, he hadn’t expected that these people had already investigated to such an extent; he himself had only just learned about the title of Guardian.

"So you’ve even investigated the Guardians; it seems you really do know a lot."

At these words, the several people became both nervous and scared, fearing the next second he might suddenly say, "You know too much."

Fortunately, Sam did not utter that typical villain line; he only pondered for a moment and then asked,

"You mentioned just now that you belong to the Order Camp... what does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yong perked up and hurriedly responded, "Well, all of us are good people, loyal fans of the Guardians. We have never done anything bad and often help elderly ladies cross the street... Aren’t you Guardians on the side of justice? Then, we should be on the same side, right...?"

What?

Loyal fans of the Guardians?

Helping elderly ladies cross the street?

Sam was stunned.

"That’s what you call the Order Camp?"

He felt he was about to laugh himself silly; at the beginning, he had thought this group might also be from some other Extraordinary Force. He hadn’t expected that their so-called Order Camp was actually this.

How was this the Order Camp at all?

Wasn’t it clearly just a "civilian unit"?

You think I, Sam, haven’t played games before?

His expression grew grim.

"What exactly do you want to do here? What are your intentions?"

Seeing that his expression was still unhappy, but he seemed not to be about to make trouble, Shi Yong couldn’t help inwardly praising his own cleverness and said,

"We’re all members of the Canglan Expedition Team. We accidentally discovered your deeds, and that’s why we organized this expedition to find you. If possible, we too would like to join; we don’t know if the Guardians are still recruiting new members..."

Shi Yong explained the actions and plans of his group over the recent period in one breath. He felt that when facing such a Transcendent existence, it was better not to play any tricks and to be more honest.

People from a camp like his, the Order Camp, should appreciate such qualities, right?

The other members of the expedition team also subtly showed an expectant look at this moment. Although they were somewhat worried about their current situation, they felt incredibly thrilled about the opportunity to come into contact with the Extraordinary.

However, Sam’s reaction next was far beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Expedition Team? You say you came for an expedition!?"

He suddenly raised his voice, anger appearing on his face:

"Do you know how dangerous, how ignorant, what you are doing now is!?"

"An expedition? Do you even understand what you are doing! Can you really face true death?"

Sam became more and more agitated as he spoke, and at that moment, the image of his father’s tragic death surfaced in his mind, reigniting the torrent of sorrow and anger within him.

"What do you think the Guardians are doing? Playing house!? Is that fun to you? You should be thankful that we just discovered you; if the true horror had appeared before you, it would have been too late!! By then, your lives would no longer be your own, everything would turn into a nightmare tormenting you! This feeling is more desperate and terrifying than suffocation!"

The crowd was dumbfounded by his scolding, not understanding why he suddenly reacted so strongly.

Although one or two were persuaded and showed signs of fear and retreat, most of them felt indifferent about the content.

After all, these things are hard to sympathize with unless experienced firsthand.

Zhang Xiaoman noticed that Sam had been gone for a long time and seemed to have started arguing, and couldn’t help but curiously glance over there.

Dane said, "That kid has been taking forever to deal with someone, should I go check on the situation?"

Seeing the man beside him nod, he then strode towards the area.

Soon, the Wencheen brothers came back, followed by someone, it was Shi Yong.

"What happened?" asked Zhang Xiaoman with a frown.

Dane glanced at Shi Yong behind him, then explained, "Star Lord, I just went to check the situation; these guys seem to know a lot about us, even discovering our title as Guardians..."

He then briefly recounted what had happened, and in his speech, he had already switched to calling Zhang Xiaoman "Star Lord," a title he had picked up from following Lin Sisi.

Upon hearing Dane refer to the man in the black robe as such, Shi Yong immediately shivered, realizing that he had probably encountered a high-ranking figure from the opponent’s organization.

To have such a title, he must be a leader or definitely high-ranking, right?

Moreover, looking at the girl who subtly stood behind him and the silvery glint in their eyes, it was clear they were big shots!

Zhang Xiaoman also recognized the identity of the man before him; it was the person they had encountered in the restaurant that day. It seemed his guess was indeed correct, they had come for the Star Alliance.

However, after hearing about the situation’s cause and effects, he did not show much emotional fluctuation; he merely said indifferently, "I understand, let them go."

His words not only stunned Shi Yong, but also the Wencheen brothers; Dane quickly asked,

"Star Lord, they already know quite a lot about us; if we let them go like this, could it cause any trouble later...?"

Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said, "Don’t worry, the little information they do have about us isn’t significant. If I want, they will not be able to investigate anything about us in the future."

He wasn’t just saying this casually; now that Zhang Xiaoman understood the Shadow Lord, as long as he wanted to shield these people, they would encounter various difficulties, even if they weren’t directly using him as a tracking target.

Because if they managed to investigate the people or organizations related to him, it would potentially threaten his exposure.

Therefore, according to the rules of the Shadow Lord, these people would also face various resistances during their investigation.

The intensity of this resistance would grow as they got closer to the core truth about him, until it finally became infinitely great.

These were also conclusions he had drawn from subsequent tests.

However, what surprised Zhang Xiaoman was that he hadn’t consciously tried to shield these people from tracking him, and his subconscious hadn’t reacted too strongly; otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared before him today.

"It seems my subconscious doesn’t strongly oppose their finding me... could it be influenced by Yang Yangyang and his gang?"
