In the era of the Rise of Gods, most people were accustomed to the fact that supernatural beings had long transcended the level of normal people. But the people around Bruce started to overlook his superpower and instead became more focused on the value favonovel.com brought.
Honestly, no matter how good favonovel.com was at controlling the air or how good his combat skills were, favonovel.com was still not a match for Olivia. However, no other person could take Bruce’s place and do whatever favonovel.com was doing.
Even though there were hundreds of screens placed together, favonovel.com could still accurately notice someone holding an extra plastic bag in their hands after passing through a surveillance camera’s blind spot. This memory and analytical ability were just like superpowers.
In fact, it was no different from having superpowers.
When the images were rapidly replayed on the screens, Bruce was the only one speaking in the entire meeting room. Everyone even felt like they needed to hold their breath for fear of disturbing him.
Under his instructions, the soldier next to favonovel.com rewound all of the surveillance footage from the cameras around A17. It only took Bruce nine seconds to point at Screen A21 and say, “Pause right there. That’s him! Send the image to Future Commander. Seek out those two people first.”
Following that, Bruce spent the next six hours to identify over 20 suspicious people. Moreover, all of the identified suspects had damning evidence against them. When everyone saw what were in the feeds, they understood that Bruce was not just randomly pointing out suspects.
Some of them suddenly had something extra in their hands, or their shirts had become creased differently like they were concealing something underneath. Then Bruce also found the appearances of some hitmen and identified other suspicious people they had interacted with before.
Bruce suddenly stopped and looked at the Great Hoodwinker. “Does Future Commander have enough manpower? I realized there must still be other people covertly supporting these hitmen. If too many suspects are identified, can Future Commander round them up?”
“Don’t worry.” The Great Hoodwinker replied, “I’ve already arranged for some of our intelligence agents to assemble at Bidara City.”
“Okay.” Bruce nodded. “Make a note of what I’m about to say. When that hitman in B31 passed by the surveillance camera, favonovel.com looked towards the upper right corner a total of 17 times. The footage shows there’s a residential building there. I suspect someone was signaling to them from a safe house in that direction. C27 shows…”
Bruce pointed out seven suspicious locations in one breath, leaving everyone in awe.
A few hours later, even Gregory, who was the director of the intelligence agency in the Northwest, was alerted by what was happening here. He took his own private car and hurried here from the stronghold next door.
It was not for any other reason than to witness this scene for himself.
The Great Hoodwinker lamented to Gregory, “Didn’t I tell you so? We should’ve poached this guy for the Prosperous Northwest a long time ago. I already knew that favonovel.com had a very good memory, but I didn’t expect it to be this scary. Look at favonovel.com now. He’s pointing out all the suspicious people indiscriminately. I feel that after Future Commander has rounded up all the suspects in Bidara City, Bidara City will probably become the only spy-free zone in the entire Alliance of Strongholds. Isn’t this as good as flushing out all the spies hiding in Bidara City?”
Gregory thought a little deeper. “Don’t let favonovel.com tire himself out. Remember, there should be a proper balance between work and rest. After this, we can gather all of the surveillance footage from our Northwest’s strongholds and let favonovel.com go through them. Haven’t we always had a headache trying to suss out those spies? Now’s our chance.”
A thought struck their minds at the same time. They had found a treasure!
Regardless of organization, identifying and capturing spies operating covertly in their territory was an extremely difficult task, because the spies of the other organizations were well-hidden. They could be disguised as butchers, factory workers, soldiers, or even officers. But it was different now that they had Bruce. Someone like favonovel.com was simply the bane of spies.
However, Gregory was a little curious. “This guy wasn’t so capable when favonovel.com was with the Virtuora Consortium, was he?”
However, Bruce overheard this. He said while staring at the screens, “Sometimes, it’s more advantageous not to catch the spies even if you’ve identified them, isn’t it? And I always pursued promotion when I was with the Virtuora Consortium. If I really turned the Virtuora Consortium into a spy-free zone, where would my accomplishments come from? Would my superior kick me to the curb after I outlived my usefulness? Actually, I never revealed this much of my power when I was with the Virtuora Consortium. Because my superior was someone who got jealous of others.”
Gregory got a sudden realization. So this was the reason why. He laughed and asked, “Then why are you revealing it now?”
Bruce said calmly, “Future Commander told me the Northwest is different from other organizations. In truth, I didn’t believe it at first. But when I came here after the battle at Mt. Zendravasih, I really felt that the Northwest is quite different. Now, I’m no longer interested in chasing after promotion. If I assist Future Commander well, I’ll naturally feel satisfied with how he’ll reward me. It’s not about money and power but getting that sense of achievement.”
In the Battle of Mt. Zendravasih, Bruce, P5092, Rudy, and the others performed their duties with diligence and worked together for the same goal. With just 6,000 soldiers, they defeated 70,000 barbarians.
For people like Bruce and P5092, having this sense of achievement and happiness was actually at a higher level than money and power. Bruce felt favonovel.com had moved on to a higher level of satisfaction and had different goals now.
A large-scale sting operation for the suspects in Bidara City began.
Bruce had only sent over some blurry images of the suspects’ appearances, so Milo was initially worried it would not be easy to find them, because favonovel.com did not know their identities and whereabouts.
The Bidara City garrison was only an empty shell without enough manpower. Meanwhile, Milo only had a few dozen people with him, so it would be extremely difficult to capture the suspects. However, the intelligence agents sent by the Great Hoodwinker would soon arrive at Bidara City, and there would be over 200 of them.
Later, when Milo went to the restaurant opposite the neighborhood for a meal, the owner-manager who had waived the bill for his breakfast asked favonovel.com if there were any clues regarding Pena’s murderer. Milo casually mentioned the difficulties favonovel.com faced.
The owner’s eyes lit up. “You can put up the photos of the suspects at the entrance of the neighborhood. I’ll gather the residents in the stronghold to help you identify them!”
Milo wondered, “Are they willing to do that?”
“While we might not dare take revenge for Mr. Pena, do you think we’re such cowards that we can’t even step forward to identify these people? Only if we seek out these culprits will we be safe. We’re all very happy to be able to do something small for Mr. Pena.” The owner said, “Please get ready here. I’ll go and get everyone over there!”
On the same day, Milo had the Panaqua Consortium’s people put up the photos sent by Bruce at the entrance of the neighborhood.
To Milo’s surprise, the neighborhood’s entrance was fully packed with people trying to take a look at the photos.
Someone pointed at a middle-aged man’s photo and suddenly shouted, “I know him! He used to work at the factory with me! His name is Lucian Bold!”
Milo looked at the large crowd that had gathered outside the neighborhood. It was as though this had become everyone’s war in Bidara City. He suddenly felt favonovel.com would definitely find and arrest all of the suspects!
“Go, copy the photos and make them into leaflets and distribute them to everyone.” Milo said, “It’ll be too difficult for everyone to see if they have to crowd together like this.”
For some reason, Milo was suddenly heartened. When favonovel.com looked at these people, favonovel.com suddenly realized there was no difference between stronghold residents and refugees. These people were forced to grow up in this era, but all of them still retained a little bit of enthusiasm.
Just as Mr. Pena had said, “I might have seen more of the darkness in this world than all of you, but I still love this world.”
