Chapter 628: 【466】I’m just a nobody, really (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_1
Holy Alliance, Rose!
…
Pei Jinye’s eyebrows slightly raised, and the corpse in his hand had already been nearly consud by the Karmic Fire.
It was unexpected for the Holy Alliance to target his family.
“Ultimately, the root cause is ,”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
He wasn’t worried about his other identities being exposed.
If the Holy Alliance knew that Pei Jinye, the public investigator, was secretly the Old Gods Association Demon King, their attitude would not be what it was now.
Under the night sky.
Pei Jinye turned to look at his well-lit ho.
The Holy Alliance was aiming at him.
He did not go directly to confront them.
Reckoning with this colossal entity personally could easily make him a target.
The investigation identity he held was a lifeline in itself.
Soon.
The Investigation Team’s Base dispatched an elite squad.
Led by the vice-captain of the special combat team, Liu Feng, in person.
“Is Old Pei alright?” As several floating cars stopped, Liu Feng imdiately went over.
Pei Jinye extended his hand and shook hands with him.
Noticing that Sun Sifu, Old Fang, and the others were present, he smiled and said, “Thanks for making the trip in the middle of the night.”
“What’s there to thank us for? We’re all on the sa side, right?” Liu Feng said, and then his attention shifted to a figure in the corner.
The special combat team mbers had already started sealing the area, monitoring in real-ti, and collecting samples.
Pei Jinye had been careful not to expose any other Transcendent abilities when he acted, so the energy fluctuations detected at the scene were very pure.
“Is she dead?” Liu Feng was taken aback.
Pei Jinye nodded: “It was an ergency; I couldn’t hold back.”
Liu Feng did not tease Pei Jinye about being heavy-handed with a woman because in their line of work, there’s no distinction between n and won; anyone who is an enemy must be dealt with full force.
“Take the samples, look up her identity,” Liu Feng signaled to Old Fang.
Old Fang nodded, very adept at it.
Liu Feng approached Pei Jinye: “Have you offended anyone recently?”
“Apart from criminals, no. You know my life is quite monotonous,” Pei Jinye shook his head.
Liu Feng’s expression grew solemn: “Indeed. You usually focus on your cultivation and seldom interact with others.”
He then said to Pei Jinye, “Xing Tian has already joined the investigation.”
No sooner had he spoken than he added, “We’ve got a result! Everyone in the car, head to Osmanthus Alley, seal it off secretly.”
“I’m coming too,” Pei Jinye signaled.
Liu Feng nodded, not doubting Pei Jinye’s abilities in the slightest; the more strong players, the better.
In the car.
Liu Feng sent out the information.
“The deceased, Sun Miyan, codena Rose, is an international assassin. According to Xing Tian’s system analysis, this person is intricately connected with the global-scale Holy Alliance.”
Although Liu Feng was only an Extraordinary Second Rank, his wealth of experience was formidable, and each car was equipped with an Elental Cannon; they even had a chance of taking down an Extraordinary Fifth Rank working together.
Pei Jinye, acting as an accompanying mber, knew through Rose’s mory exactly how many people from the Holy Alliance were around and subtly “reminded” them of suspicious targets.
After sealing the floor, Liu Feng led his team to break in and started firing electro-guns.
The two mbers of the Holy Alliance inside the room hardly had ti to react before they were zapped, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed straight to the ground.
“Captured! Take them away!” Liu Feng shouted, “Take away all information in the room, even scraps of paper in the trash can, as there might be important clues hidden.”
Just then, Pei Jinye suddenly pushed open a window. Liu Feng, standing beside him, also saw a young man with a late-night snack, crouching and spying at the alley’s entrance below.
“Don’t move!” At a glance, Liu Feng spotted sothing off about the guy and shouted in anger.
But then he was startled.
Because Pei Jinye had rushed down from beside him.
“Damn it!”
He hurriedly followed, looking down at a drop of at least twenty ters…
“Old Pei is seriously fierce,” Sun Sifu watched, dumbfounded, but could understand since they had co knocking on his door; letting them go would definitely spell endless trouble.
“Seal the area, check it carefully! Old Fang, you co with to chase!”
“Okay!”
The two dashed one after another.
By the ti they reached the mouth of the alley.
The bag of late-night snacks was there on the ground, but Pei Jinye and the other person had both vanished.
Liu Feng’s face changed slightly and he quickly said, “Old Fang, let’s split up, you go left, I’ll go right, do our best to keep the suspect alive.”
“Keep the suspect alive???” Old Fang reflexively thought he had heard sothing wrong.
But seeing the serious look on Liu Feng’s face, he dared not ask any more questions.
The two ran into the alley.
What they didn’t realize was that five kiloters away at the entrance to the mountain forest, Pei Jinye stood in front of the young man.
“Pei Jinye, you really et our expectations.”
What expectations?
Pei Jinye did not ask.
He simply brought his hand down.
The young man raised his hand, and the Knife in Sleeve slashed.
“Clang,” the sound echoed.
The Knife in Sleeve fell on Pei Jinye’s arm, surprising the young man as Pei Jinye’s hand did not break; instead, his fine steel knife, which cost eight hundred thousand to forge, shattered into pieces of scrap tal.
[Damn!]
The young man’s heart skipped a beat.
It was only now that he realized he had gravely underestimated Pei Jinye’s strength.
“Pei Jinye, listen to , my boss appreciates you…”
“What does that have to do with !”
The young man’s words were cut off abruptly.
Because Pei Jinye’s palm was already pressed against his face.
The instant endless darkness enveloped the young man’s Spiritual World, a torrent of mories also continuously poured into Pei Jinye’s mind.
…
“Boss, all three batches of Confidential Clerks heading to Central State have been eliminated by the Old Gods Association…”
“At first, I was puzzled, but now… even Huang Zhonglei has taken a big fall at their hands. Perhaps we really need to reassess their strength. There’s one more thing, go to Central Continent City and look for a kid nad Pei Jinye.”
“Boss, once we find this person, what’s the plan?”
“Do not take him lightly, this kid now has an official identity with the Federation Investigation Team. You must act discreetly and capture him alive.”
“Understood.”
“An Extraordinary with S-level potential… I hope he can be of greater assistance to our experint.”
…
The mory scene abruptly ended.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes to see the corpse hanging from his hand.
The attribute panel added the “Instrunt · Sword” Extraordinary-Human Genes.
But he ignored it.
He retrieved a small USB drive from the young man’s body.
Just as he got up.
Old Fang and Liu Feng ran over, out of breath.
“Finally found you.”
“Is the person okay?”
Pei Jinye shook his head: “I’m fine.”
“I’m not asking you, I’m asking about the suspect!” Liu Feng hurried over, and seeing the corpse on the ground, he slapped his thigh in pity: “Still ended up dead.”
Old Fang hastily tried to smooth things over: “As long as you’re okay, that’s what matters.”
Liu Feng gave Pei Jinye a wry look: “Old Pei, I’m not blaming you, I really wanted to catch the fellow alive and see if we could get so information out of him. You should know how tough the Holy Alliance is to deal with.”
Pei Jinye certainly knew he ant well.
Even without a live catch, Liu Feng wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.
His eagerness to catch the other party was also out of goodwill.
Pei Jinye understood his intentions and smiled: “Brother Liu, I get what you’re saying, dead is dead, there are still two live ones at the scene. Also—”
He stretched out his hand with the USB drive.
“This was found on the person, it should have information.”
In fact, he had already scanned the information inside with his brainwaves.
It recorded a list of people targeted by the Holy Alliance.
Liu Feng carefully took the USB drive, seemingly aware that a dead person can’t be mourned forever, looked up and asked, “You’re not hurt, right?”
“I’m fine,” Pei Jinye shook his head.
The main force arrived soon, sealing the cri scene.
The young man’s body was packed into a black bag and carried away.
On the way back, Sun Sifu couldn’t help but glance at Pei Jinye.
He was curious.
Can a normal person really be so nonchalant after killing two people in one night?
In the car.
Pei Jinye seed to casually glance outside the vehicle.
Three n dining at the roadside were talking about sothing.
Liu Feng and the others had no idea that these three ca from the Investigation Team.
Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze.
He didn’t know what these three were up to recently; their focus had already shifted elsewhere.
Pei Jinye didn’t pay them any mind.
For now, they maintained a mutual non-interference stance, and he had no need to draw the attention of the Investigation Team Headquarter.
He returned to base.
Interrogations were conducted throughout the night.
Liu Feng told Pei Jinye to go rest.
“Leave this kind of thing to , I’ll inform you imdiately if anything arises.”
Pei Jinye indicated: “Unlock the USB drive as soon as possible to see if there’s useful information. As for the rest, I won’t say anymore; you guys are the experts in this field.”
Liu Feng chuckled, but he suggested: “I can arrange so brothers to covertly stay nearby your parents’ place, is that okay?”
“There’s no need to trouble the brothers from the base, Xing Tian has already intervened. It will personally monitor and provide early warning there,” Pei Jinye replied.
Liu Feng was startled.
Xing Tian’s direct involvent?
Truthfully, he wasn’t even at that level.
He assud there were influential people behind Pei Jinye.
He nodded and refrained from further comnt.
After leaving the base.
Pei Jinye received a call from Mother Pei, with his parents asking if sothing had happened. Pei Jinye didn’t want to scare them, so he said there was a thief, and he just happened to encounter it.
“Small matter, no need to worry.”
They didn’t talk much on the phone.
The parents’ cultivation was kept secret.
For the ti being, it wouldn’t cause panic.
That night.
Pei Jinye received a call from Ms. Xu Jing.
“Co and visit .”
…
Ten minutes later.
Pei Jinye drove to a teahouse.
