SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 204

Chapter 204: A Special Task Force
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the family heads from a top family asked, “Although the idea is good, how do we know we won’t be infiltrated?

These evil cultivators hide in plain sight. Who’s to say one of us isn’t already working for them?”

He said all of this while scanning the room to see if anyone showed any reaction that would give away their identity.

But he did not see this, which made him slightly disappointed. This would mean two things: the first being that the evil cultivators had not infiltrated this deeply, and he hoped this was the case.

The other option would be that they have infiltrated and are here listening to them, which is bad for all of them, as that would mean that any plans they make against them will not work.

Some of the other family heads also thought about this, making them frown as they looked around to see if they could spot anything unusual.

This caused everyone else to look at each other warily as they all moved away so that they would not be implicated if one of them turned out to be a spy among themselves.

Xu Qianghua’s avatar watched all of this with indifference, knowing that some of them were indeed part of the evil cultivators because they were either partners or evil cultivators themselves.

He knew this because he had seen these people slowly reveal their identities in the old timeline as more and more top-tier cultivators joined the ranks to support them from all the other cultivators.

Xu Qianghua already had plans for these people, so he did not kill them; instead, he would use them to lure out more evil cultivators.

Meanwhile, Chen Zemin, who observed the reactions from the family heads, nodded, understanding their concern.

“That’s why we’ll establish a system of checks. Every task force member will be vetted thoroughly, and we’ll share information between families.

Although we cannot fully eliminate the chances of spies entering the task force, we can reduce them to a minimum so that the task force can work as a united unit.”

“In addition,” he continued, “I want to make this task force independent so that none of us can use it for our own purposes.

I plan to use a family card so that the person who leads this task force is not someone from any one of our families.”

Hearing this, most of the family heads showed small smiles as they sighed in relief. With this measure, some of the top families notorious for using force to control others would not get their wishes fulfilled.

This was also what the rest of the family heads had in mind. For them, evil cultivators were just another type of cultivator who wanted to cultivate and achieve immortality.

For these family heads, the lives of others were not something they thought about.

They all viewed themselves as god-like figures who lesser-powered people should worship and be at their beck and call.

This is a common phenomenon among the nouveau riche in the old world after they acquire a large sum of money.

Similarly, all of these family heads, who used to be normal people, were now given an immense amount of power to wield.

At the same time, they were able to create their own forces that would listen to their every word, which was enough for most people to lose themselves and slowly lose touch with reality.

And this will slowly make them disregard the value of other humans, which will, in turn, make them the most hated people, as they will kill anyone just for looking at them.

This is also how the evil cultivators were able to grow so quickly, as they used these family heads not only to hide from the world but also to collect the resources required to cultivate.

However, not everyone shared the same thoughts. They had grown for many reasons that might seem illogical, but they worked wonders.

They all wanted to prevent further damage in the future, knowing that these cultivators would not be satisfied with just the normal inhabitants.

If left alone, they would soon come after them, and then they would have nowhere to cry as they all perished at the hands of these rats who had nowhere to survive.

So when Chen Zemin proposed the idea, those who were the most eager wanted to nip this problem in the bud before it became a major crisis for them.

Then, one of the family heads suggested, “What if we bring in the top leaders of all the other continents and invite them all to join so that this task force can spread around most of the human-occupied world?”

Hearing this, some of the family heads nodded while others shook their heads, and the rest did not show any reaction as they waited for either Chen Zemin or one of the top family heads to respond.

One of the top families responded almost instantly, “Well, this will require a lot of work to establish trust among these leaders, and I know it will take a long time.

That is not something we have right now, as we do not know when the evil cultivators will strike again.”

“And if we do this,” another family head added, “the chances of spies joining the ranks will increase, as we will not be able to monitor the personnel sent by those families.

Otherwise, it will create a conflict that we do not need.”

Hearing this, everyone sighed as they understood the implication. If they brought in more powerful people, they would have more influence and power, giving them advantages over the evil cultivators.

However, this would create problems requiring time and heavy investment from everyone to solve, which was not something many of them were willing to do.

Xu Qianghua, who saw all of this, also sighed. All of this had happened in the old timeline, but at that time, most of the intelligent and honest family heads had already died or had left their positions.
