Chapter 166 - Chapter 168: I've Become the Leader of Vought's Opponents?

Fang Yuan instantly understood Moni's meaning. Currently, there were many anti-Vought forces, but they were very fragmented. The original Freemasons could no longer meet their needs.

After all, a significant portion of the Freemasons' members had already been corrupted by Vought's financial offensive.

Therefore, the anti-Vought forces actually needed a new organization.

The Dark Council that Fang Yuan had fabricated happened to satisfy this requirement.

"Of course it's useful." The Black Mask disguised by Fang Yuan nodded decisively. "You can call them all over!"

However, knowing the importance of maintaining an air of superiority, he added another sentence: "If their influence is decent, they can unite to be granted a single spot."

Membership spots couldn't be handed out like common cabbage; the more precious they were, the more these people would value them.

This was especially true for those in high-level positions.

Sure enough, Moni's eyes brightened even more after hearing this.

Although he hadn't come into contact with too many people at the very top of the power structure, Moni knew that as long as he took the lead, those with intentions would follow suit. When the time came, those people would all owe him a favor.

As a top Gang boss, Moni Scana understood one principle—

Gangs have no future; capital is king!

Although Scana started in the Gangs, he was actually already transitioning toward capital.

Commonly known as 'washing clean.'

"Why did you want to assassinate Kennedy?"

Since they had reached a preliminary agreement, Moni asked the Black Mask about this doubt.

"Kennedy's support for Vought is growing stronger. If we changed to a different President, it would be more suitable for our plans."

Fang Yuan shook his head and feigned a sigh. "It's just that the operation was ruined by Wolverine."

"But we weren't exposed. They won't be able to find anything!"

The Black Mask looked at Moni. "The Dark Council is hidden much deeper than you imagine."

Well, of course; currently, only Fang Yuan and Moni knew the name 'Dark Council'... but Moni really fell for it.

The more mysterious and cryptic something was, the easier it was to fascinate high-end individuals.

"Then I'll contact you once I'm ready on my end. Give me a way to reach you," Moni said.

"No need." The Black Mask shook his head. "You can go directly to The Collector Daily. In the seventh advertisement column of the third page, just post an ad for selling milk powder."

"I will contact you then."

Moni's heart jolted. "The Collector Daily! Is it also part of the Dark Council?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why do you think The Collector opposes Vought at every turn?" Fang Yuan replied righteously.

The reputation of The Collector Daily was becoming more and more prominent. Every day, a large crowd of people wanted to investigate who was controlling this media outlet.

It was also time for Fang Yuan to find a backer for The Collector.

This Dark Council was quite good; it had a powerful background and a motive.

Moni, upon hearing this, was actually greatly encouraged. "So the boss behind The Collector Daily is the Dark Council. No wonder they dare to speak out so much!"

"Since it's the controller of The Collector, then there's certainly no problem. I'm sure others won't want to miss this opportunity either."

"You should have said this earlier. Why did you need to use the assassination case to scare me?"

Fang Yuan was somewhat stunned. He really hadn't expected that among the group of Vought's opponents, the name of The Collector Daily would be so effective!

What was this?

The spiritual pillar of Vought's opponents?

He hadn't expected that one day he would benefit from the reputation of 'The Collector Daily,' that messy thing.

"Indeed, no matter what kind of junk it is, as long as it's put in the right place, it can become a useful resource!" Fang Yuan thought to himself.

Hmm, this sentence should be written into the Vought Spirit!

Moni Scana moved quickly. Within a few days, Fang Yuan received feedback from The Collector's side that Moni was contacting him.

"He really is proactive enough," Fang Yuan thought.

Fortunately, during these few days, he had also prepared the things he needed.

On the outside, Professor X had already gone to read the memories of the gunman and Ike Collins. He discovered that the order to assassinate Kennedy did indeed come from the Collins Family, though it was unknown exactly who issued the order.

But for the authorities, this was enough.

Solving a crime requires evidence, but counter-terrorism only requires a list.

Assassinating the President was undoubtedly a terrorist act.

This matter didn't involve Moni. There were indeed rumors circulating about Moni and Kennedy, but the impact was minor.

Since Moni and the others had already contacted him, Fang Yuan needed to provide a response.

These past few days, Fang Yuan had been preparing for these matters.

He found Moni and obtained the membership list from him. He was shocked by what he saw.

There were over thirty forces on it, including many familiar corporations and financial groups. Some companies were even currently making money through cooperation with Vought.

For example, the Morgan Consortium... "These dogs are playing both sides with me?" Fang Yuan thought with some annoyance. "Just wait and see if I screw you over later."

They were taking benefits from him now; later, he would definitely make them spit it back out twofold!

For details, please refer to Salvador.

But for now, these forces were his new allies. Especially for the first meeting, Fang Yuan naturally couldn't just think about how to target others.

He gave Moni over thirty business-card-sized invitations. The texture and feel were very high-end.

"Distribute these to the representatives of those forces. Only one person from each force can attend," Fang Yuan instructed Moni.

"I understand!"

Moni nodded. He knew that an organizational gathering like this certainly wasn't a vegetable market where anyone could participate.

However, Moni looked at the invitation for a long time. It only had a date written on it—nine o'clock in the evening three days later—but it didn't specify a location.

"Mr. Black Mask?" Moni asked, holding up the invitation.

Although his status in the Gang world was much higher, the Black Mask disguised by Fang Yuan clearly held a high status, and Moni knew the wisdom of being flexible.

"We will go and pick them up when the time comes," Fang Yuan answered flatly. He then took out three larger, more exquisite invitations.

"Because your numbers are quite large, you can obtain three official council member spots for the Dark Council. As for which three people it will be, you can decide among yourselves," he said.

Moni was startled. Over thirty forces only had three official membership spots; the Dark Council's vetting standards were truly high.

However, Moni did not object, nor did he question it.

For some reason, he always felt that what this Black Mask said was very much to his taste and particularly easy to believe.

Fang Yuan didn't even have to think to know it must be the credit of Dark Affinity.

It was a good thing the Dark Council hadn't officially been established yet; otherwise, Moni, the national Gang overlord, would have to turn around and call him 'Boss.'

And it would be the willing kind.
