Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 257: Preparing for the Arrest

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Preparing for the Arrest

Huang Kailong was still clever.

He knew the president might abandon him, so once he arrived here, he first observed secretly.

Only after confirming that the president was indeed here did he make his approach.

However, the man in the suit paid no attention to his questioning.

So what if the president was here? What did it matter if he wasn’t?

After all, he had the final say.

Huang Kailong watched as the man in the suit walked further and further away, and suddenly he panicked, knowing that without their help, he would certainly die.

Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "The thing your president wants is with me!"

Upon hearing this, the man in the suit immediately stopped in his tracks.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

It wasn’t that the man in the suit hadn’t heard clearly, but he wanted Huang Kailong to think carefully before speaking, because if he told a lie, he would have to face consequences he couldn’t afford!

At this point, Huang Kailong had no time to consider so much.

He was facing death either way, lying might not necessarily result in death, so why shouldn’t he take a gamble?

People from the Ye Family had been pursuing him all the way; Bright Moon City was his last resort, and he had no way out.

So, he must tell this lie!

"I said, I’ve already obtained what you want, and if you want it, arrange for me to get out."

Huang Kailong’s face showed a fierce expression.

This place was the border; as long as he could get out, then the sky would be wide open for him to fly, and the sea boundless for him to leap.

The man in the suit stared into Huang Kailong’s eyes, silent and pondering whether what he said was true or false.

Huang Kailong also stared unwaveringly at him, both engaged in a silent contest.

"Wait here for a while."

In the end, the man in the suit chose to compromise.

It wasn’t that he believed what Huang Kailong had said, but that he couldn’t miss any possible opportunity.

Even though he was ninety-nine percent sure Huang Kailong was lying, he still had to believe in that one percent.

"You better be quick, the Ye Family’s people are chasing me like dogs," Huang Kailong warned.

But the man in the suit just snorted coldly, didn’t say a word, and closed the door.

...

On the other side.

When Xiao Zhan and his team arrived at Bright Moon City, it was already dark.

Coordinating with their contact, they arrived at a temporary command center.

Inside, the people responsible for surveilling Huang Kailong had already been waiting.

"Director, these two are the captains of the Ghost Squad, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong."

Upon entering the command center, the liaison introduced them to a middle-aged man inside.

The middle-aged man was named Li Wu, the director of the Bright Moon City Action Division, specifically in charge of monitoring Huang Kailong’s actions.

Seeing Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong enter, the expression on his face showed a flash of surprise.

So young?

And so handsome and beautiful?

But he also knew the selection criteria for the Ghost Squad, one should not judge by appearances, how could someone who was a captain not have real skills in their hands?

However, he then saw the contract marks on the foreheads of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong.

His expression suddenly turned strange.

Death Scythe.

This is exactly the same Contract mark as Ye Wuming’s.

He immediately knew that Ye Youlong was Ye Wuming’s daughter.

However, understanding this point did not evoke in him a solemn reverence, but rather a slight frown and a good deal of skepticism about the pair.

"General Ye only sent the two of you? No one else?"

Li Wu’s opening remarks were questioning, not giving much face to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan, with his keen Perception, naturally heard the implications in his words; he doubted their strength.

"It’s not just the two of us," said Xiao Zhan.

"Oh? Who else is there?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, General Ye wouldn’t joke about such matters.

Xiao Zhan, however, smiled, disappointing him.

"The whole Phantom Squad."

Li Wu’s expression instantly darkened upon hearing this. Isn’t that stating the obvious!

He looked straight into Xiao Zhan’s eyes; Xiao Zhan met his gaze without weakness. At the same time, a faint smile lingered on his lips.

Li Wu understood that Xiao Zhan was deliberately provoking him, and his emotions surfaced.

"I know you two have exceptional talent, but talent doesn’t equate to strength. You should be aware that you will face not only Huang Kailong but also the people behind him."

"We are all aware of the strength of those behind him and should certainly not underestimate it; this mission is not very safe either."

Li Wu’s words were not especially unpleasant; he was still giving some face to Xiao Zhan, the son-in-law of the Ye Family.

His implications were reminders for Xiao Zhan not to be overconfident, not to overestimate himself, and not to seek glory recklessly. This mission wasn’t as simple as he thought.

And the reason he said this was that, in his view, Xiao Zhan being so young yet able to become the captain of the Phantom Squad, relied on his relationship as the Ye Family son-in-law.

Put bluntly, he believed that Xiao Zhan taking charge of this capture operation was just the young master coming down to gild his credentials, to rack up merits.

He also didn’t think General Ye Wudi sent Xiao Zhan here because of Xiao Zhan’s capabilities but rather because Ye Wudi couldn’t resist the insistence of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong and had to give this face.

But this mission was complex, far from as simple on the surface as it seemed; the slightest carelessness could result not just in mission failure but could even cost lives.

Therefore, Li Wu wanted Xiao Zhan to recognize the difficulty and step back.

Xiao Zhan also picked up on his implications; he just smiled and didn’t elaborate much, simply saying, "Where’s Huang Kailong now? Send me a copy of his intelligence file."

There was no need for Xiao Zhan to explain to him.

This is Bright Moon City, a border city, where Li Wu was just an action department head of the city, with merely Third Grade strength; there was no need for Xiao Zhan to explain to him at all.

Upon hearing Xiao Zhan’s words, Li Wu’s face grew even uglier.

Hadn’t he made himself clear enough? Could Xiao Zhan still not understand?

Yet Xiao Zhan’s expression clearly showed that he had understood.

And his insistence on doing things his own way showed that he didn’t take the matter seriously.

Li Wu clenched his teeth, really wanting to explode, but in terms of military rank, he wasn’t as high as Xiao Zhan; he had no right to.

Seeing the disdain on Xiao Zhan’s face, he finally held back and said nothing, only instructing his subordinates to pass Huang Kailong’s intelligence file to Xiao Zhan.

After receiving the files, Xiao Zhan prepared to leave.

Before leaving, however, he still kindly asked, "Is there anything that needs to be coordinated?"

Li Wu responded, "You are the commander in chief; it’s us who need to coordinate with you."

Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded at him, then left straight away.

After Xiao Zhan had left, Li Wu couldn’t help but vent, snorting coldly to his subordinates.

"Bring up Xiao Zhan’s file for me. I want to see what kind of ability he has to be so arrogant and self-important!"

The subordinate immediately accessed the file upon hearing his words.

Li Wu’s expression changed instantly when he saw the file.

"Double SSS grade talent! A Fourth Grade Spirit Master under twenty years old! Heaven..."
