“`
After three hours of interrogation, Pei Jinye finally walked out of the small dark room.
One of the disciples of King’s Rule, one of the Three Giants of the Central Continent, died at a banquet in Storm City. Compared to the scrutiny Pei Jinye and his group underwent, Storm City faced an even more thorough backlash.
“I heard that young master from the Meng Family was taken away directly. With this news getting out, Meng Corporation’s stock price will drop by at least half…”
Sun Sifu said in a low voice.
Liu Feng didn’t look very good, after all, the mission this time was indeed a failure.
Old Fang, however, casually mentioned, “I think I saw Meng Tong talking to Xu Shanwu about something, but I’m not clear on the specifics. I did notice, though, that all of their faces changed.”
“What were they talking about?” Sun Sifu asked curiously, as he had been outside the whole time and wasn’t very clear on the situation.
Old Fang shook his head indicating he didn’t know.
However, Liu Feng added in a low voice, “It is said that the young master of the Meng Family has an Extraordinary ability to predict a person’s death.”
At this, both Old Fang and Sun Sifu were momentarily stunned.
“Damn, what kind of creepy Extraordinary ability is that?”
“So, the young master had foreseen Xu Shanwu’s death? No wonder Xu Shanwu suddenly started yelling about a retreat…”
Liu Feng didn’t say anything.
After the three of them walked out of the building,
Liu Feng turned to Pei Jinye, “This matter is no longer related to us. I will go to Minister Gao for approval of the Dragon Blood order, just wait for me for a moment.”
Pei Jinye nodded and followed Old Fang and the others to the special forces training camp and casually took a seat on a chair.
Sun Sifu was still puzzled, “Honestly, the fact that they didn’t pair you up with me on the perimeter as a sniper, I felt something was unusual.”
“What’s so unusual?” Pei Jinye took the bottle of water passed by Old Fang, seemingly unaware of anything.
“Your sniper skills are evident to all, remember our cooperation on the river? It was seamless. Such an excellent teamwork setup not being utilized, and instead splitting us up, is this normal?” Sun Sifu said, perplexed.
Before Pei Jinye could speak, Old Fang jeered at Sun Sifu, “You think everyone is like you, only knowing how to use a rifle? Old Pei’s swordsmanship is pretty good too. In close-quarters combat, it makes much more sense than using a sniper rifle.”
Sun Sifu didn’t argue.
But thinking back to the shadow he had caught a glimpse of in a hurry, he once again felt a sense of relief at having survived a close call.
“Good thing I maneuvered in time, or else my life would have been in danger.”
…
Before long, Liu Feng appeared with 20 milliliters of Dragon Blood.
This wasn’t Pei Jinye’s first time using this substance.
He had previously obtained a bottle from the Old Gods Association, but it was more than twice what the Investigation Team’s Base had, and it was very helpful for enhancing the physical body.
Especially in boosting physical strength, it was the most effective treasure Pei Jinye had encountered so far.
As Pei Jinye was about to leave,
In a distant building,
A middle-aged man silently watched Pei Jinye’s retreating figure.
“Buzz buzz.”
The phone vibrated.
It displayed an encrypted message.
Translated, it read: “Subject has passed the test, surveillance lifted.”
He calmly deleted the message.
Someone knocked on the door at this moment.
A young woman’s voice spoke softly, “Minister Gao, the meeting starts in three minutes.”
The middle-aged man picked up his coat, draped it over himself, and walked out with an amiable gaze.
…
It was only after leaving the special forces camp that Pei Jinye sensed the “feeling of being watched” finally disappearing.
After Devouring Xu Shanwu, Pei Jinye had learned some secrets.
However, the secrets of Xu Shanwu were unrelated to the Superior Department’s Minister at the Investigation Team’s Base.
There was no connection between these two men at all.
“Perhaps, the identity of this Minister is similar to Wu Zhuofei, both are chess pieces secretly placed by the Judgement Place.”
About his trip to Storm City, Pei Jinye could only be thankful that he had a Powerful avatar to protect himself.
Xu Shanwu had to die, and only death awaited him.
The investigation against him… perhaps, it ends here.
But for Pei Jinye, it wasn’t over yet.
Next, all he needed to do was maintain his usual life.
With an avatar, he had the ability to maintain the life rhythm of a normal Extraordinary Third Rank.
“The Judgement Place really does reach too far.”
If it weren’t for Devouring Wu Zhuofei and Xu Shanwu, Pei Jinye wouldn’t even know about the secret agents nurtured by the Judgement Place.
“Wait a second.”
Pei Jinye suddenly realized something unexpectedly.
“I can now access some memories concerning the Judgement Place!”
This was something he couldn’t do before.
The power of the Judgement Place was formidable. Even now, with his spiritual power nearing three hundred points, the information about the Judgement Place was limited.
He wasn’t yet capable of a full invasion and Devour.
“So, I still need to continue to grow stronger… truth and secrets are always only in the hands of a few.”
He exhaled deeply.
By this time, night had already fallen.
In the alley, Pei Jinye’s true body lay in the Shadow, as the avatar that had pretended to be him for most of the day began to turn into black mist and merge with the main body. Just then, two thugs wielding knives rushed in.
They didn’t even notice Pei Jinye’s true self in the shadows, their menacing gazes fixed on the avatar of Pei Jinye.
“Hand over all the money!”
“So young and already learning to rob and plunder,” a soft sigh came from behind the two men.
Before they could turn around in shock,
Their Vision turned dark.
The avatar turned into black mist and entered Pei Jinye’s body.
On the attributes panel,
The Vitality Value replenished a bit and was still declining to 277 points, but such consumption was nothing to Pei Jinye.
