Those who were qualified would be absorbed to become a member of the faction. Those who failed to meet qualification were abandoned and left to their own devices. In this case, Baoze and the demon descendant community would need to clean up after their mess.
It was no wonder that the Great Demons' Alliance suddenly rose and grew up in a short time. But what did they want to do? To raise havoc in the demon descendants community?
“What is that thing that can promote individual evolution and awakening? Did the technicians figure it out?” Li Xianyu said in a deep voice.
“Not yet. We tried to extract the substance from the blood, but later we found the blood of those who were awakened this way were no different from the blood of normal demon descendants,” Lightning King said helplessly.
“Incredible!” shouted Li Xianyu.
Compared with the Great Demons' Alliance, the source of the substance that could promote awakening should be the biggest concern. No wonder it was called the Great Demons' Alliance. If it goes on like this, maybe it will really gather enough members for it to be called Great Demons' Alliance.
“The existence of these substances should be kept secret, even to members of Baoze. If this thing is widely known, its allure will not be lower than that of the Great Deities Palace. Now is really an eventful time.”
“I understand. Don't worry. I'll try my best to finish the mission,” Li Xianyu replied in a serious tone.
The behavior of the Great Demons' Alliance had touched the bottom line of Baoze. Baoze, being such a huge inst.i.tution, did not belong to either the good or the evil, as its main purpose was to maintain order in the community.
That was what Baoze had always been doing. Only after the order becomes stable, can the society develop steadily and peacefully, such that the populace could feel at ease.
The existence of the Great Demons' Alliance had threatened the stability of the order, which was a matter more complicated than good and evil. In j.a.panese parlance, this matter is about righteousness.
A few minutes after hanging up, Li Xianyu received a call from an unknown number.
“h.e.l.lo?” Li Xianyu picked up the call.
“Is this the commissioner sent by the headquarters? I'm Zhang Yong, the leader of the third team of the law enforcement department of the Henan Branch. Your location is my jurisdiction. The division chief just asked me to contact you and said that you arrested a demon descendant who committed a crime.”
“Where are you? I will go and find you.”
“That's not needed, sir. Please tell me the address, we will head over instead…” The voice on the other side of the phone seemed respectful.
Aftering hanging up the phone, Li Xianyu couldn't help but think of when he entered Baoze for the first time. That time when his pictures were sent around in the chat group and everyone poked fun of him.
At that time, he could only express his real thoughts in his heart: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
But on the surface, he had to maintain: (〃^ω^)
Somehow I've been promoted to a small boss myself. This doesn't feel bad~
Jumping off the roof of the apartment, Li Xianyu waited for someone from the branch to take over the poodle. Ten minutes later, a large business car came and stopped in front of Li Xianyu.
A well built middle-aged man opened the door, shook hands with Li Xianyu warmly and respectfully, and took out his employee card to show his ident.i.ty.
“So that's the demon descendant that was arrested,” said Zhang Yong, looking at the poodle, who was unconscious in Li Xianyu's hand. “What did he do?”
“Well… Outrage of modesty of his owner,” Li Xianyu said.
Zhang Yong nodded and understood the situation, and said, “According to the company's rules, it should be castrated.”
The poodle in Li Xianyu's hand woke up immediately, kicking on all fours and barking.
“You can do whatever. It's fine to do experiments on it after castrating it, but it won't last long.” Li Xianyu slapped it again, causing it to pa.s.s out, and gave it to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong beckoned his men to pick up the dog, hesitated, and asked, “You are here to help investigate the current demon descendant incident, aren't you?”
Li Xianyu nodded.
Zhang Yong sighed. “Alright, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll go first.”
When the business car started, the whispers of the employees in the car drifted into his ears.
“Ah, that is the Unparalleled War Spirit. She is so beautiful.”
“The legendary Unparalleled War Spirit looks like a model.”
“Here comes the heir of the Li family. We can finally take a rest. Such a difficult task should be handled by such a strong person.”
Then there was Zhang Yong's quiet voice. “Take a rest? You should thank the heavens if you don't die at the end.”
“Chief, what do you mean?”
“The heir of Li family came the day before yesterday. The chief of our branch was both happy and worried. When I asked, he told me that the heir of Li family was a trouble magnet. Wherever he went, there would be trouble. Once he came here, it meant that the current issue about the Great Demons' Alliance would soon have a breakthrough.”
“Isn't that a good thing?”
“Hah, a good thing? I'll tell you, do you know why he got the t.i.tle of a trouble magnet? Almost all the colleagues who formed a team with Li family's successors have pa.s.sed through tests of life and death. Those who survived were considered lucky, and those who died could only be considered to be just unlucky. This little secret is only circulated at the top of the company, employees like us normally won't get to know this.”
“It's superst.i.tious, boss. How can you believe this?”
“It's definitely true. One of our ten G.o.ds, San Wu went with him to Chongqing and almost died. As she was seriously injured in bed, Ape G.o.d from the Chongqing branch went to Hunan with him and almost died as well. Even these two experts landed up in this state, what could happen to small fries like us? And I also heard from the chief that the reason for such a mess in this Forum Conference was that the heir of the Li family attended this year. The Taoist Reverend was also pretty unlucky as he was suddenly suppressed by Li Xianyu, even though his death was well deserved. But think about it, after so many years without being punished for his crimes, how could Taoist Reverend suddenly get called out?”
“I-I want to apply for leave.”
“Wans.h.i.+ is not peaceful anymore. Chief, I want to go to the provincial capital for a while.”
“The provincial capital may not be peaceful either. Chief, I want to take this year's annual leave and take my family to Shanghai for a sightseeing trip. Only the headquarters can give me a sense of security.”
It seemed like everyone was scared.
“These guys are so good at slandering me, as though I have no need for reputation,” Li Xianyu said awkwardly.
“What reputation do you still have, you devilish successor?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady squinted.
Li family's descendant, also known as the devilish successor, stood out in the Forum Conference and became the conqueror of women and turned into the public enemy of men all over the world. Anyone who was connected to the Demon Descendant's network would have heard of his notorious achievements.
Li Xianyu was quiet. There are only two scapegoats in the world taking all the blame. w.a.n.g Chen and me.
“We got ten contribution points,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady said. However, she didn't want to end the mission and asked, “Where do we go next? Shall we go back to the hotel for a rest, or continue to investigate?”
“To the Golden Gate Club, 33 Xiabu Street. Now that we have a clue, we should check it immediately in case anything goes wrong.”
“Let's charge in straight!” Thunderbolt Battle Lady said.
“Ok,” Great-Grandma said.
“Let's give them h.e.l.l!” Cui Hua rubbed her hands.
“Get out of here!” Li Xianyu vetoed the suggestions of his harem. “It's not easy to find a clue. When you do this, you will only attract attention from the masterminds and lose track of the clue.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady's IQ is average. Great-Grandma is used to using violence to solve everything. If it was something that could be solved by violence she would never try to talk her way out. Cui Hua is only responsible for being a cute mascot, and usually doesn't use her brains. Mother Hua Yang is meditating in my sea of consciousness. As for San Wu… What's a brain? My harem is short of a smart strategist. The position of the intellectual princess is vacant. Li Xianyu was deeply aware of the inadequacy of his own harem group and felt that he has a long way to go.
Li Xianyu already had two candidates in his mind to fill this vacancy: Hu Xinyue of the Hu family in Dongbei, and the watermelon girl of the Sakurai family. The former was clever and cunning, but she was too open-minded when it comes to certain things. The latter has her unique perspective, and could often see the crux of the issue with just a glance. The best part was that she could be bought over with just a watermelon. He can also get to sleep with a j.a.panese girl — a dream of all Chinese men.
However, he was not that familiar with the two of them to a point where he would trust them with all his secrets.
Their relations.h.i.+p wasn't that close yet.
At half-past twelve, Li Xianyu arrived at the Golden Gate Club in the business car allocated to him by the company.
It was a little far from the city center. It was a new area just developed in recent years. The district was full of vitality as all the buildings were new and recently built.
The Golden Gate Club in Xiabu Street was the largest and most luxurious nightclub in the new urban area. It was a Roman-style building with seven floors and gorgeous neon lights that twinkled in the dark night.
