Chapter 231: Episode 21.4 Karen In Red

"It’s great to know that all of you are fine there," Bai Weisheng told his son in a light tone. "By the way, I just want to tell you that we are in the same room with Chairman Mao."

The omega, on the other end of the line, made a shuffling noise, and the next thing Chairman Mao knew was that Shen Yuan’s video call was no longer on.

The old alpha looked as if he tasted shit. He felt happy and touched that Shen Yuan contacted him first after settling the ordeal.

For him, it’s like a filial junior or student visiting, but his happiness is only short-lived. He was immediately dropped without even saying hello!

"Father, Dad."

"Grandpa! Grand Dad!"

Shen Yuan and Yanyan soon crowded in front of Bai Tingfeng’s phone.

The small family of three looked so cute despite their apparent fatigue. Rong Suyin’s original worry-stricken face brightened up.

"W-what’s up?" Rong Suyin stuttered as his throat suddenly tightened due to a threatening sob.

Thankfully, this beautiful family is safe and sound. He would probably go crazy if something happened to any of them.

"How are the things in your end? You beat the Cardinals, right? Please don’t tell me that you managed to run away from that mana explosion," Rong Suyin asked as if he was rapping a hip-hop verse.

Words couldn’t describe how flustered he was, but despite that, his honest face tried his best to act cool.

Shen Yuan smiled at the other end of the line, "There are at least 100 assassins who attacked the villa, but we are lucky enough to beat all of them. We have a few injured security personnel on our side. Some of them suffered minor to major injuries, but thankfully, no one is in critical condition, and they are sent to hospital for treatment."

The omega explained as concisely as possible and ultimately hinted that everyone in their family was unharmed.

One hundred assassins are staggering and frightening figures, but hearing that Shen Yuan and the others dealt with them easily, the guild masters in the conference hall couldn’t help but whisper to themselves.

Is Shen Yuan really that strong? Or was it an easy fight because Bai Tingfeng lent a hand and ultimately did everything?

Some even doubted the strength of the Cardinals.

They heard that the terrorist had a dangerous weapon called the Mage Killer. But how come the Bai family’s forces get away without death?

Well, no matter how ugly their cogs turned inside their head, Rong Suyin doesn’t care about it at all.

His son and son-in-law triumphed over the terrorist group; no other details are more important than this.

"That’s good! That’s good!" Rong Suyin exclaimed. His heart could finally rest easy.

"How about S-class awakeners? Did he encounter any powerful enemies?" Mo Lihua’s voice suddenly rang.

Chairman Mao and the others shot her a questioning look, but her snobbish and sophisticated expression remained.

"Who is that?" Shen Yuan asked on the other end.

Rong Suyin blushed bright red. He was too out of his head that he forgot to inform Shen Yuan that they were inside the conference room! It was only at this time that he realized that he just barged in!

"W-well, Chairman Mao seemed to be in the middle of an important meeting. The woman who asked that question is the guild master of Crimson Guild. Her name is Mo Lihua."

"Oh..." Shen Yuan reacted. His tone showed he didn’t know who Mo Lihua was and wasn’t even interested in getting to know her further.

Mo Lihua’s lips pursed. She’s starting to hate this Shen Yuan more than she already is.

"Rather than a simple encounter," Shen Yuan responded after thinking hard. "I think it is better to call it a reencounter."

"The S-class snow mage I met in Taiyuan Ice Dungeon returned to—" Shen Yuan abruptly stopped and meaningfully looked at his son and secretly signaled to slash his neck. "— you know what I mean. But thankfully, Bai Tingfeng was here to beat him."

Mo Lihua snickered in the background. See? Shen Yuan is different from his son, an independent omega who doesn’t need an alpha’s help.

’That S-class power is wasted on him. Why did it have to be Shen Yuan to be the lucky one to reawaken—’

"Don’t excessively cut the details, Yuan," Bai Tingfeng’s proud, doting voice sounded, interrupting Mo Lihua’s thoughts. "Actually, that man wouldn’t leave any residue if I didn’t interrupt my husband’s attack back then. Let’s just say that I gave him a much better ending."

Chairman Mao’s expression lightened up. "Then that means we finally captured a high-ranking terrorist?"

Bai Tingfeng seriously shook his head, and on his side, Shen Yuan was all smiles while motioning, chopping his left palm.

"Fish filet."

"You—" Chairman Mao no longer needs further explanation. That archbishop was cut in half!

Meanwhile, Rong Suyin and Bai Weisheng worriedly looked at their son. They are familiar with the effect of Bai Tingfeng’s power.

If what they are thinking did happen, then their son will be scarred once again!

As if sensing their concern, Bai Tingfeng quickly commented. "As long as my family’s fine, everything is good with me."

Chairman Mao massaged his chest. Well, he couldn’t argue with that.

It was clear to him how hard it was to apprehend a fellow S-class awakener. The need to protect one’s life outweighs the need to exercise self-control to capture the criminal.

Zhu An, on the side, bit his lower lip. So, his Brother Tingfeng is really determined to build a family with Shen Yuan, huh?

And he was even willing to defend him even in a life-or-death situation.

His heart couldn’t help but be bitter about it.

"Anyways," Shen Yuan suddenly said. "Xia Jinhai is too asleep to report to you, but don’t worry. I will submit a detailed written report by morning. I am magnanimous enough to do that even though I’m on leave. You’re lucky I agreed to work with you."

Shen Yuan winked at the old man.

"This child!" Chairman Mao’s nostrils flared. "Can’t you just tell it all now instead of joking?"

This omega is so unserious! He just survived a frightening assassination, and yet he still has the guts to joke around. What kind of nerves does he have?

"Hihihi," Yanyan giggles in the background.

Upon hearing the milky voice of the child, Chairman Mao internally soothes himself. With a child present, this laid-back attitude is better than a panicking one.

He could only imagine how hard it was for Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng to safeguard their son’s mental and emotional well-being while in that hostile situation.

For that, Chairman Mao could only rub his chest.

"Fine. I want to see that written report in the morning," Chairman Mao made a concession,

Pressing the guild masters to lure out the spy and Shen Yuan’s assassination are two different things.

This little delay has nothing to do with the present meeting anyway.

"Wait!" Mo Lihua interjected once again. She was out of the video call’s view, but her harsh and high-pitched voice was far from unnoticeable.

"Aren’t we forgetting something? Shouldn’t your rookie agent of the year inform us what explosion happened in the woodland of Tong Shen area?"

"That mana explosion shouldn’t happen in that isolated area! There’s no energy plant there to create such an energy reaction. I wonder what explanation you have on this."

If there’s someone who didn’t notice her sarcasm, then they must be the densest people on the planet.

"Who the hell is this Mo Lihua, and why do I feel like I am being pressed as a criminal?" Shen Yuan murmured under his breath.

Yes, he took the time to contact Chairman Mao, but that doesn’t mean he is completely rested. They are still on their way to a nearby hotel to rest.

He is still tired, and his patience is running thin. How long he could remain civil to this annoying lady was beyond him.

"Dad, is it okay if you pass the phone to whoever asked the question?" Shen Yuan asked nicely to Rong Suyin.

Rong Suyin has a good grasp of Shen Yuan’s temperament, and he knows what’s about to go down. As a supportive father-in-law who is getting pissed at these passive-aggressive comments from Mo Lihua, he happily obliged.

Rong Suyin held the phone in Mo Lihua’s direction, where the other attendees of the meetings could see Shen Yuan.

"Look, the detail of this explosion needs utmost confidentiality, and as the Hunter Association’s Rookie Agent of the Year (according to you), I am smart and mindful enough to decide that a casual video like this is too risky to use a method to share the important information that I hold."

Shen Yuan snickered, "Take this situation as an example. I am seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces here. Who knows if some of you are actually spies for the Cardinals? I wouldn’t risk revealing sensitive information to people not in the Hunter Association."

The present guild masters looked as if a cold glass of water was splashed on their faces. Indeed, that is the reason why they are stuck in this conference room.

"But to give you the big idea of what happened, let me just tell you that explosion resulted from the mana bomb that a cardinal’s lackey planted to escape from me."

’Wait, Yuan!" Chairman Mao scampered to see Shen Yuan. "You had an encounter with a cardinal? Like the one of the leaders behind that terrorist group?"

Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders. "That’s the reason why it was confidential information."

He then turned to Mo Lihua, "I hope that answer satisfies your thirst for gossip, Mrs. Karen?"

"Or maybe that served as nothing because that didn’t give you any chance to find fault with me? Well, whatever the case, I don’t care. I am too tired to entertain you further."

Shen Yuan then whispered that it wasn’t precisely a whisper. "Gosh! I exhausted my mana to contain that explosion, yet I still need to face a holier-than-thou Karen in red hideous clothes. Seriously! This makes me regret joining the Hunter Association. Damn it!"

"Daddy, what’s damn it?" Yanyan suddenly squeaks, startling Shen Yuan.

"Yanyan, you’re still awake?! I thought you already dozed off?"

"He was awakened by your monologue, Yuan."

The image on Shen Yuan’s end became messy. The entire people in the conference room witness the daily life of the Bai family.

Rong Suyin pulled back his phone, a small, satisfied smile on his lips.

Mo Lihua’s face is tainted with the colors of red and black. Shen Yuan just tore her face! How dare he!
