Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Son-in-Law Dog

"This Demon Beast can not only understand human emotions but also shows no reaction after consuming a Third Grade Spiritual Fruit; its abilities are indeed special."

Speaking of which, he looked towards Xiao Zhan, "You should cultivate it well. It may be of great help to you in the future."

Xiao Zhan nodded as well, "Yes, I will cultivate it well."

If this White Emperor was indeed that White Emperor, then Xiao Zhan had really stumbled upon a treasure.

...

Several hours later.

On the square of Northern City, a helicopter hovered and descended. Xiao Zhan and Qin Wanfeng and the others got off, and a group of people had already been waiting there.

"Old Qin, long time no see," a middle-aged man came over.

As Qin Wanfeng saw him, his face lit up with excitement, "I didn’t expect them to send you here. It’s been several years since we last met, right?"

The man nodded, "Yes, it has been several years. They weren’t planning on sending me, but since I just completed a mission and was available, they dispatched me."

Qin Wanfeng said with a smile on his face, "If it’s you coming, I can rest easy. If they had sent someone else, I would be worried they might get bribed."

"Don’t always be so suspicious; you need to learn to trust others."

"Ha ha, if someone else said this to me, I might believe it. But coming from your mouth, there’s no way I’d believe it." Qin Wanfeng shook his head and laughed.

Working on the most life-threatening jobs within the Federation’s higher echelons, where a single misstep could make all your teammates your enemies, you’re telling me to trust others?

Might as well believe that the Big Bad Wolf ate the sheep.

Lei Hong just chuckled and didn’t say much more. Apparently, he felt that statement was somewhat unrealistic as well.

Qin Wanfeng didn’t dwell on the topic either and turned his head to introduce them to Xiao Zhan, "This is Lei Hong, a special agent from the Investigation Bureau, and next to him is his wife Wen Ya, responsible for investigating this incident."

Then he introduced them to Lei Hong, "These are Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong."

Lei Hong had already learned the brief details of the incident. Seeing Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, his expression subtly showed his touched feelings, "I heard that not only did you two escape unscathed from Huang Jun’s pursuit, but you even counter-attacked and killed them?"

"It was all luck." Xiao Zhan was more modest in front of others.

"Luck is also part of strength."

Lei Hong evidently found Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong quite interesting.

Dual SSS-grade talents, fighting for the Federation for a Secret Realm, granted entry into the Special Service Bureau, breaking through to Third Grade in one year, counter-killing a Fifth Grade...

Any of these events, taken alone, would be shocking, yet they all occurred with Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong.

They were practically legendary figures.

Back in the day, Ye Wuming wasn’t as exaggerated!

Truly a case of like father, like son... Oh, wait, like son-in-law.

After the pleasantries, they got to the point. Qin Wanfeng asked, "What about Huang Yuan, does he not dare to meet you?"

Lei Hong shook his head, "Huang Yuan is on the front lines; right now, there’s a surge in Demon Beast activity, and the battle situation is tense."

Hearing this, Qin Wanfeng was surprised, "The front line is tense, and he still dares to incite a mutiny?"

"Eh, it’s premature to come to conclusions now. Whether it’s a mutiny or not still requires evidence; it might be personal vendettas."

Saying this, Lei Hong couldn’t help but turn towards Xiao Zhan again, "You two are quite something, not even leaving behind corpses for Huang Jun’s men, making it difficult for us to collect evidence."

Xiao Zhan just smiled without saying a word. How can you blame me?

I’m too busy staying alive to worry about these things.

Of course, it wasn’t that Xiao Zhan left no traces. Rather, both the Earthfire Tribe and the Mystic Ice Tribe had large formations concealing them, and it would be difficult for Lei Hong and his people to enter without permission.

But, there’s no need to go back to collect evidence now.

Qin Wanfeng then asked, "What about Ye Wudi and his people?"

Lei Hong answered, "According to Huang Yuan, Ye Wudi led the third legion to the Northern Snow Domain to deal with the Snow Demon King. This surge of Demon Beasts is different from before and is likely instigated by the Snow Demon King."

"The Snow Demon King?" Qin Wanfeng was somewhat shocked, "Wasn’t the Snow Demon King sealed seven years ago? What are they doing dealing with the Snow Demon King again?"

"It’s said the Sealing was broken. Now, being a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, only Ye Wudi is capable of facing the Snow Demon King. To prevent the situation from escalating and endangering Northern City, he took the initiative to lead his men to slay the Snow Demon King!"

"The Snow Demon King can’t be that easy to deal with, right?" Qin Wanfeng couldn’t help worrying.

Back in the day, Ye Wuming was so powerful, nearly reaching the Seventh Grade threshold, yet it still took a massive amount of manpower and resources to seal the Snow Demon King.

Now that the Snow Demon King has returned, Ye Wudi might find it hard to cope alone.

After all, Ye Wudi is not as capable as Ye Wuming.

Lei Hong sighed as well, "It’s difficult, but it’s a bit easier than a few years ago. The Snow Demon King has just broken the Sealing and is at its weakest state. Striking now is the best opportunity."

Qin Wanfeng nodded; that was indeed a fact.

But he immediately frowned, "That means the entire front line is under Huang Yuan’s command now. If we go to investigate him now..."

Before he could finish, Lei Hong showed a wry smile, "Yes, the timing is awkward. Not to mention that our investigations will cause panic among the soldiers, making them lose their backbone. Even if we do find evidence, we can’t arrest Huang Yuan."

Qin Wanfeng sighed as well, "After finding the evidence, whether Huang Yuan submits to the law or not, we can’t arrest him. If he submits, the front lines would lose their Commander, and the army would be in disarray, putting Northern City in danger."

"If he resists, perhaps even using military force, the outcome would only be worse!"

"I have to say, Huang Yuan has played a good hand."

"Then can’t we temporarily transfer another Commander from somewhere else? There should be many Commanders who can be reassigned, right?" Xiao Zhan couldn’t help asking from the side.

With so many Commanders, it should be no problem to borrow one in an emergency.

Qin Wanfeng shook his head, "That method would have worked before the calamity when commanders would sometimes be moved around to prevent the concentration of military power."

"But it’s not possible now. The current state of the world requires armies with a strong sense of unity! Only such armies can win battles!"

"And often, this sense of unity is embodied in the Commander. So if you transfer a Commander over, not to mention whether he is familiar with the local conditions or can make the correct decisions. Even if he does the right thing, it’s likely many won’t follow his orders."

Xiao Zhan understood the point. In other words, the world is no longer peaceful, what’s needed is an army roaring like a pack of wolves.

And with a wolf pack, there’s one characteristic—the presence of an Alpha commanding the respect of the pack.
