Chapter 213: Episode 19.9 Lurking Eyes

And with that, Qin Mian’s grilling session was postponed for better or for worse.

The atmosphere immediately sank once Assistant Su reported what happened.

Nobody dared to make a sound and aside from the shallow breaths of the frantic alpha, the low murmuring coming from Xia Jinhai’s phone could be faintly heard.

Xia Jinhai’s expression was grave, "I see. Thank you for reporting it to me. Please reach out to all relevant departments and make sure to provide all needed backups to all affected guilds. I am with their guild master so; I will cooperate with him on my end. Great work. Bye."

If they were under normal circumstances, Shen Yuan would have made fun of how abruptly Xia Jinhai ended the call. Instead, he solemnly picked up his son from the back of the Mammy Yin and carefully reassured the boy that everything was okay—even though it was not.

Just now, they received a disturbing report that a C-class dungeon of the Baihu Guild was attacked by none other than the Cardinals.

As though they are aware that the Hunter Association issued a memorandum to bolster the security of the dungeon, the damned assholes seemingly gave up on infiltrating the dungeons to wreak havoc and instead, they shamelessly bombarded the dungeon gate itself. Presumably, trying to cause a dungeon break.

What’s worse, they did it not only to one dungeon or guild but to ten others!

"This went beyond my calculation. I thought that since we’ve been actively raiding their illegal businesses, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. Damn, what are they up to now?" Xia Jinhai murmured, clicking his tongue in annoyance.

Thanks to Shen Yuan’s eye-catching exposition of the Cardinals after their attack in Taiyuan Ice Dungeon, the Hunter Association found an opportunity to be on the offensive. The untimely exposure of their organization caused confusion and discordance in their small units. This, in turn, made the raids easier.

The removal of these income-generating groups should hinder the movement for a considerable time. However, based on what is happening now, this shouldn’t be the case. The Cardinals are like cockroaches that aren’t easy to kill.

"Have you forgotten about the factions of the Cardinals?" Shen Yuan asked rhetorically.

"If I’m not mistaken, there are seven factions in that damned organization. As far as I know, the groups that our Special Counterterrorist Task Force is currently hunting belong to that one group that is kidnapping the presumed remnants of the Wei family. Meaning this could be an attack of different faction with a different goal in mind."

It isn’t obvious on the celestial fox spirit’s face during regular days, but he is quite sharp when the time counts.

Xia Jinhai had a flash of realization on his face.

"Now that you said it... That makes sense," the beta then shook his head. "Well, no matter who they are or what their goal is. It doesn’t change the fact that we are in a state of emergency."

"Guild master Bai," Xia Jinhai turned to the alpha. "If you don’t mind, can you come back with me? The Hunter Association calls for an emergency meeting to all guild masters of the affected guild."

Shen Yuan interrupted before Bai Tingfeng could answer. "Wait, will I get deployed, too?"

He really doesn’t like to end their vacation in such an early fashion but since this is a serious matter, Shen Yuan is fine with cutting his vacation short.

The only problem is Yanyan.

His son will surely be disappointed.

"No, you can stay on leave since you are injured," Xia Jinhai flatly answered while looking at Shen Yuan’s lower part.

"Hey! Where do you think you are looking?!" The celestial fox spirit was once again reminded of his dark history.

"Some of my hunters are injured too so I must make a sacrifice this time," Bai Tingfeng solemnly said, saving his husband by changing the topic. He approached Shen Yuan and their son and comfortingly kissed Yanyan on the cheeks.

"Sorry for going against my word, Yanyan. But don’t worry I will come back soon."

The little boy whose eyes were hiding sadness nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. "Okay! Your job is saving people from monsters, it can’t be helped. Yanyan will wait for you, Daddy. But can we stay here? I want to make friends with Mammy Yin."

"Rawr!"

Yanyan fondly pointed at the blazing red tiger that silently joined the group of people. However, as he looked in the direction of his big friend, his eyes accidentally saw two glowing dots in the woods that surrounded the garden.

He reflexively froze like a gorgon petrified him and yelled, "Waaaaah!"

"Yanyan, what’s wrong?" Shen Yuan alertly asked his son. He suspiciously looked at the location where Yanyan was looking and used his sharp vision to check, but he found nothing.

"Daddy, I saw glowing sharp eyes beyond those trees! It’s spying on us!"

Adults are not quick to believe the words of a child who hasn’t seen the world yet, much less if it’s a five-year-old kid.

"Young Master, you don’t have to be afraid. Little critters are living in the woods around here, it’s not surprising if you see their glowing eyes from time to time," Assistant Su reassured the cub.

Hearing this, Shen Yuan’s eyes suddenly changed.

’No, my son is probably right. A lot of weird things are popping up here and there. Something isn’t right.’

"Wait. The glowing eye phenomenon or eyeshine only happens to nocturnal animals during nighttime. This happens so that animals can see normally even in the dark," Shen Yuan told the crowd with a serious face. "Isn’t it way too bright and early to see glowing eyes?"

Bai Tingfeng and the others were stunned when Shen Yuan pointed it out. It only makes sense since a good example is right before them.

Mammy Yin, who is a B-class beast, has normal bright eyes under the subtle sunlight. The hot flares they saw sprouting from her eyes during nighttime are gone.

Feeling that everyone was looking at her, the Flame-Stripped Tiger let out a low growl, "Grrrr."

"Don’t be angry, Mammy Yin. They are just looking at your beautiful eyes," Yanyan consoled his furry friend and when he stared at the tiger’s vertical pupils, recognition flashed in his little face. "The eyes that I saw are sharp like these, Papa. But they are glowing like Daddy’s when he’s using his powers!"

What else could be if it’s not a magical beast? There are only a few beings whose eyes would glow and all of them are humans with strong powers; the S-class awakeners.

Gu Jinpeng felt like he was struck with lightning, "Master Shen! I committed a big mistake! I didn’t tell you that I’ve been feeling some weird presence in the woods. I shrugged it off thinking that I’m just imagining things!"

If the spy in the woods is an S-class awakener with powerful stealth skills, then it’s only reasonable that even Bai Tingfeng and Shen Yuan couldn’t detect them. And the fact that they are trespassing and hiding in private property means one thing: they are not friendly forces.

"Hurry! Assistant Su, mobilize all our forces here. Check every part—"

Bai Tingfeng alertly issued orders when he heard his husband’s assistant. However, he was abruptly stopped by Shen Yuan.

"Shh. Don’t startle the snakes or else we will lose them," Shen Yuan cryptically smiled. He finally got it after retracing the weird occurrences around him and putting himself in his enemy’s shoes.

’You can no longer wait, huh? Cardinal bastards,’ he thought and his eyes flashed malice.

If they are laying low in taking the vessel that they need to summon the "Tailed Guardian" that they are looking for, then they only have one business that they need to settle.

"It’s me," Shen Yuan murmured in his heart. How to say this? He is actually happy at the bottom of his heart. "Before anything else, can you listen to me first? I have a very, very bad idea."

No one knew why but when the omega’s tantalizing eyes swept over them, they felt an indescribable chill creeping on their spine. Particularly Qin Mian since Shen Yuan’s look lingered on him.

’Why does it feels like my test isn’t done yet? I’ve had enough hardships, Mr. Shen! Please spare me!’

Thankfully, Bai Tingfeng quickly stood in front of him, stopping the intense stare.

"What are we still doing here? Let’s go inside to get some privacy," The handsome S-class alpha said in a grave tone. The jealous tiger is back regardless of the occasion.
