“Investigate the cults?”
“Yes.”
“When do we start?”
“Right now, Mr. Su. Your Majesty places great importance on this matter, and on you as well. This is your first assignment since arriving in Central City. Do a good job.”
“But shouldn't investigating cults be left to the Security Bureau?”
“That is exactly why I said Your Majesty places great importance on you.”
The elder smiled, his figure vanishing into the night.
Su Baadao's expression was extremely grim.
Central City was different from the cities he had run before; it was home to countless nobles and complex, overlapping factions.
If the cult investigation led to these people, should he keep investigating or not?
If he did, he would make enemies!
If he didn't, it would be a dereliction of duty!
And even if he succeeded, there wouldn't be much credit to gain. At most, he would get a simple “well done” from Qin Qian.
For anyone else, this would be considered catching the Emperor's eye and a good thing.
But he was Wan Tianqing's disciple!
What use was Your Majesty's praise to him? Absolutely none.
Thinking of this, his expression grew even more unsightly.
“Those old geezers, their retaliation sure came quickly!”
Su Baadao felt that it must be because he had cursed those people on Wannian Platform, so they were retaliating by making him handle this disgusting chore.
At this thought, Su Baadao's smile gradually turned sinister.
“But you are the ones who handed this power to me! If I ‘accidentally’ uncover something else while investigating the cults, don't you dare regret it!”
...
Early the next morning, Yin Yang leaned against the bar counter with a cup of coffee, already contemplating whether he should flee.
Right now, Great Qi and Great Wei were at war. Logically speaking, Central City should be the safest place.
He could look for clues about his internal organs while feeding the heroic souls to accumulate spirituality and gather promotion materials.
Truth be told, the materials in Central City were incredibly abundant!
During this time, he had asked Little White Rabbit to help him purchase quite a few materials.
Having an obedient subordinate was indeed very convenient.
Little White Rabbit had been busy with two things: keeping an eye out for the materials Yin Yang wanted, and secretly investigating clues regarding the past 【organ trafficking】.
Yin Yang's kidney couldn't have just appeared in Qin Qian's hands out of thin air.
The Qi family, Lyu family, Li family, and others had all taken their organs themselves. But what about Qin Qian?
Yin Yang had not forgotten that his kidney had been taken by a duck-voiced man.
Yin Yang had no intention of letting Qin Qian off, and he had no plans to let that duck-voiced man go either!
Taking his kidney to exchange for benefits—it was about time they paid the price.
Later, upon discovering that Xia Yitiao was also investigating human traffickers, Yin Yang simply went with the flow and handed over all the clues he had gathered from Kang Ming.
Xia Yitiao did not disappoint his expectations, wiping out quite a few people in a short amount of time.
Initially, Little White Rabbit had wanted to tail Xia Yitiao, but Yin Yang had stopped her.
What a joke. Xia Yitiao was a powerhouse who could even detect the gaze of his blade-wielding ghost, let alone a mere Sequence 7 like Little White Rabbit.
So Yin Yang had given her a new task: infiltrate the Sun family!
Whether it was Kang Ming or Xia Yitiao, both had visited the Sun family.
This indicated that the Sun family definitely had some connection to the organ trafficking ring.
With no other leads, Yin Yang could only have Little White Rabbit look into this first.
Little White Rabbit had been scared out of her wits. The Sun family had two Demigods on the surface alone. Sending her to investigate them—how was that any different from sending her to her death?
Yet, she still went. First, because Yin Yang's restriction was on her heart, and she would die if she didn't.
Second, because she had already cooperated with Yin Yang twice. It was like this every time, but she had never died.
Yin Yang was also very trustworthy, fulfilling his promises every single time.
Yin Yang had originally planned to keep a low profile in Central City and develop steadily.
But now, an unexpected variable had appeared: Wannian Platform was influencing him.
Although Yin Yang did not know what it intended to do, Central City was home to Wan Tianqing and Huang Quan!
With those two around, even the slightest clue could arouse suspicion. If he were actually discovered, one could easily imagine his fate.
“Morning, Boss.”
The employee pushed open the shop door and greeted Yin Yang with a smile.
“Morning.”
Yin Yang put down his coffee cup and said,
“I'm heading out for a bit.”
“Alright, Boss.”
Yin Yang walked out of the cafe. No matter what, he needed to speed up his progress.
...
The Sun family.
“You can't go in!”
“Can't go in? Why? Is your family harboring a cult, and you're afraid I'll find out?”
“A cult? Do you even know whose house this is?”
“Whose house? Isn't it the Sun family's?”
“Since you know, how dare you be so insolent!”
“Insolent? The real insolence is yet to come!”
Wang Gen leading over twenty security officers, kicked the main gate open and swaggered inside.
The surrounding Sun family guards clenched their teeth so hard they almost cracked, but none of them dared to step forward.
Simply because the intruders were wearing security officer uniforms. Once they fought back, the nature of the situation would completely change.
Buzz—
An incredibly powerful pressure radiated outward, instantly pinning the twenty-odd security officers in place.
Wang Gen snorted coldly. The pressure on his own body flared up as well, surging forward to counter the opponent's!
The strengths of both sides were evenly matched. The pinned security officers finally caught their breath and instinctively shrank behind Wang Gen.
“What? Trying to resist the law?”
Wang Gen's voice was extremely booming, clearly heard by everyone around.
The Sun family's butler walked over slowly, his voice cold.
“Our Sun family is a well-known, respectable family in Central City. Yet you bring so many people here, conducting an investigation with such fanfare.”
“What? Are you trying to throw mud at our Sun family?”
Wang Gen heard this and let out a sinister chuckle.
“I received an anonymous report saying that the Sun family is harboring a cult! What's wrong with us coming to investigate? Got a problem with that? If you do, go take it up with Your Majesty!”
The butler's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze cutting toward Wang Gen like a knife.
“Just because of an anonymous report, you can investigate our Sun family at will?”
“If you find nothing, I'm afraid you will have to give our Sun family an explanation, sir!”
Hearing this, the pressure radiating from Wang Gen intensified, waves of baleful aura surging toward the butler.
“An explanation? What explanation? If you want an explanation, go ask Your Majesty for one!”
The butler was forced back a step by this baleful aura. But in the next moment, another wave of pressure erupted from deep within the Sun estate, rushing toward Wang Gen.
“Hahaha!”
Wang Gen not only was unafraid, but his laughter grew even more arrogant.
“What? Wanting to use numbers to bully us?”
“You've blocked me at the entrance for so long. Are you trying to cover the cult's retreat?”
Hearing this, the butler's expression turned even grimmer.
At this point, even a fool could see that the burly, double-door refrigerator of a man standing before them was just here to pick a fight!
Buzz—
The air hummed as a ring of ink marks wrapped around the surroundings, completely enclosing the entire Sun estate.
“Don't worry, no one is getting away.”
Su Baadao strode inside, his gaze locking onto the butler as he spoke:
“If you resist law enforcement again, I will kill you.”
Su Baadao's voice wasn't loud, but it made the butler's scalp tingle with fear.
