Chapter 417 - 415: Frog in the Well
Tie Xiong is not stupid.
After listening to Master Wu’s words, he realized that the Religious Affairs Bureau had already taken notice of him.
So when did the opponents become aware of him?
After thinking about it, it must have been during the time he exposed the fraud Master Weicai.
There were quite a few people present at the time, and with so many eyes, the news must have traveled back home.
"Alas!"
Tie Xiong secretly sighed in his heart.
Originally, he planned to find his daughter first and then return home to live a stable life.
Unexpectedly, he had been exposed so quickly!
The contact with the Religious Affairs Bureau, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
As he pondered, a hint of hesitation appeared on Tie Xiong’s face.
Upon seeing his reaction, Master Wu laughed and said, "Master Tie, are you worried about the outcome of meeting with the authorities?"
"Hmm!"
Tie Xiong nodded frankly.
Master Wu slowly walked to the window, looked down at the zoo outside, and said, "Master Tie, this time the Religious Affairs Bureau is taking your meeting very seriously."
"As far as I know, the main figure meeting with you this time is the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau!"
"The d-director?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Tie Xiong’s eyes.
He thought it would be just some minor role from the Religious Affairs Bureau, but he didn’t expect the director to come in person.
Although he didn’t know what level of leader this director of the Religious Affairs Bureau was.
But he was sure that, so far, in all the officials he’s met, this was the highest-ranking one.
After all, even when he was a normal person, he hadn’t met many section chiefs.
At this moment, Master Wu spoke again, "Master Tie, you previously saved Third and then helped me expose the true face of that fraud Master Weicai."
"In every sense, you are a benefactor to our Han Family."
"So there are some things I don’t want to hide from you..."
Hearing this, Tie Xiong’s face showed even more curiosity.
"In my view, the arrival of the Religious Affairs Bureau’s director is not a bad thing."
Master Wu slowly began to analyze, "If I’m not mistaken, the Religious Affairs Bureau probably wants to recruit and incorporate you!"
"Recruit and incorporate me?"
Tie Xiong’s brows immediately furrowed together.
After a slight hesitation, he also spoke, "Younger Brother Han, to be honest, my hands are stained with quite a few lives."
"If the domestic investigation were to clear this up, let alone recruiting me, it would be good enough if they didn’t execute me!"
After saying this, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Not long ago, he had taken over a hundred lives in one go in the border forests of Kayinbang.
If this were known at home, if he wasn’t sentenced to death, he’d have to recite Amitabha.
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Master Wu burst out laughing.
Shaking his head, he said, "Master Tie, you truly underestimate yourself!"
"Across the entire Blue Star, humans with Extraordinary powers are few and far between!"
"According to the latest information I received, there are two Extraordinary individuals in Dragon Country, to be more precise, two cultivators."
"And within Minma, there are two followers of the Blood God!"
"One of them caused the Tengxin Park massacre and repeatedly defeated multinational investigative teams, forcing them to sign a capitulation treaty — the girl in the red dress."
"And the other... is you, Master Tie!"
At this point, Master Wu suddenly raised his voice, saying loudly, "Besides you four, I haven’t heard of any other place having any other Extraordinary individuals."
"As one of these mere four Extraordinary individuals, no matter how many lives you’re burdened with, what difference does it make?"
"More importantly, the people you killed were all those who deserved to die!"
"For instance, Zhang Xu, who attempted to kidnap Third, or daring Master Weicai who tried to deceive all of us, as well as those security guards at Kayinbang’s park, etc."
"Is there a single good person among them?"
"Their deaths were simply retribution, well deserved!"
Master Wu’s voice continuously hammered at Tie Xiong’s eardrums.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed such a rationale!
After gaining Extraordinary abilities, had he killed an innocent?
No!
Everyone who died at his hands deserved it!
Whether it was those plotting abductions like Zhang Xu, or the fraud Master Weicai, or armed guards like Sha Wang at the park...
Was there any good person among them?
Killing them was practically doing the will of heaven!
Upon understanding this point, Tie Xiong breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Tie Xiong’s face, Master Wu smiled and continued, "So, once you meet that Director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, don’t feel any pressure, Master Tie."
"Because they are the ones seeking you, not you seeking them!"
"I understand now!"
"Thank you, Younger Brother Han, for telling me!"
Tie Xiong nodded slightly, showing a bit of anticipation in his heart.
If indeed he was recruited, then he could rightfully return home.
By then, he wouldn’t have to be separated from his daughter anymore.
Master Wu took in all of Tie Xiong’s reactions.
At this moment, he believed his nephew’s statement.
This Tie Xiong, although fierce in appearance, is indeed a simple-minded person.
If one can establish good relations with such a person, the benefits in the future will be endless!
"By the way, Younger Brother Han, you mentioned there are two cultivators in Dragon Country. What’s their story?"
Once his problem was resolved, Tie Xiong suddenly remembered the four Extraordinary individuals Master Wu mentioned earlier.
The girl in the red dress was self-explanatory.
But the other two cultivators piqued his curiosity.
"I’m not very familiar with these two cultivators either."
"But I do know some general details."
"Since you are curious, Master Tie, let me tell you about them..."
Upon hearing this, Master Wu gestured for Tie Xiong to take a seat and then began to explain: "The first cultivator is an old Daoist going by the name ’Zhenyuan’."
"This Old Taoist Zhenyuan claims to be a cultivator from the Ancient Era, able to calculate a person’s past and future, seemingly knowing everything there is to know!"
"He appears to love streaming online, regularly broadcasting fortune-telling sessions."
"At the same time, this old Taoist is also very skilled in talismanic techniques, capable of calling down celestial thunder with a talisman."
"It’s said that during the last multi-national investigative team’s siege on the girl in the red dress, if it wasn’t for that old Taoist summoning celestial thunder and injuring her, they all might have died tragically on the spot."
"Hiss..."
After listening to Master Wu’s explanation, Tie Xiong couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
That Zhenyuan is actually so formidable and could even injure the girl in the red dress?
If the opponent wanted to kill him, wouldn’t it be as easy as pie?
Before, he had been feeling somewhat elated, thinking he had some skills.
But now, after hearing Master Wu’s introduction, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well!
