Beep, beep beep!
The office phone suddenly rang. Raymond was watching a movie on his computer and picked up the phone casually:
"Dr. Raymond, it's !" The voice on the other end sounded urgent and very quiet.
Raymond imdiately recognized that it was Ren. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Tell ..."
"I'm in so trouble here. It's related to that thing from last ti. Can you please co over?"
"Address." Raymond didn't waste words.
"It's the sa place you ca with last ti," Ren said quickly.
"I'll be right there—"
Raymond hung up the phone directly.
After thinking for a mont, he switched to his Kizaru personality and disappeared from his spot as a beam of light.
His John Constantine personality was at Kamar-Taj right now. He could of course call him back and use teleportation magic to get to Ren's place.
But that would be making a big deal out of nothing.
For short distances, Kizaru's speed was not much slower than teleportation magic. There was no need to go through all that trouble.
On the side of the road, in a black van.
Ren, sitting in the driver's seat, hung up the phone with a slightly worried look on his face.
In the back seat, North Arican Hongn's senior mber Li Yuanlong and the guest advisors who ca with him all sat there silently, waiting for Ren to finish his phone call.
Only after he hung up did the lead guest advisor nad Shui Wuhen ask coldly:
"This doctor guy is the person who told you last ti that the source of the problem was here?"
"Yes." Ren nodded.
"There's clearly nothing wrong here, and there are no people with powers. You didn't get tricked by a con man, did you?" Shui Wuhen asked with so doubt.
"Dr. Raymond has a special identity. He can't be a con man," Ren said firmly.
"Guest Advisor Shui, this kid Ren Yan has not been new to this business. He shouldn't be fooled so easily," senior mber Li Yuanlong also helped smooth things over.
"Elder Li, I don't understand gang business, but about people with powers... you don't understand," Shui Wuhen was slightly more polite to Li Yuanlong, but still didn't back down.
When Li Yuanlong heard this, he actually felt a bit unhappy inside, but the people from the Worship Hall didn't answer to him. Except for the Dragon Head, they didn't have to give face to anyone. He had no choice.
He could only give Ren a look, telling him not to be impulsive and to be more patient.
These guest advisors had already gone around Hell's Angels' territory before, but found nothing—not even traces that people with powers existed.
So when they ca back, they imdiately wanted Ren to explain himself.
Calling them over when nothing had happened—wasn't this treating them like monkeys?
Ren had no choice but to call Raymond.
Even senior mber Li Yuanlong found them difficult to handle, so as a branch leader, he definitely couldn't afford to offend them.
Although Ren totally believed in the investigation results Raymond gave, and logically speaking, it wouldn't be strange if this thing was related to Hell's Angels.
But these guest advisors insisted that there was no problem with Hell's Angels. He had no choice.
After all, he was not a person with powers, so he didn't have much say in this kind of thing.
Knock knock knock—
The car window glass was suddenly tapped.
Ren was startled. When he looked carefully, he saw it was Raymond outside the car. He quickly opened the car door.
After Raymond got into the passenger seat, he asked in surprise, "Doctor, you got here so fast..."
"I happened to be nearby. What's wrong? What problem ca up again?" Raymond asked casually.
Ren didn't hide anything. He quickly told Raymond the situation and introduced the visitors from headquarters sitting in the back.
Raymond politely nodded to them, then asked, "You doubt my investigation results?"
"Isn't this obvious..." Shui Wuhen questioned, "Hell's Angels doesn't even have people with powers here. How could they secretly harm people from the Washington branch?"
Raymond looked at him, and his eyes also swept over his few followers. He shook his head and smiled:
"Are you so sure you didn't miss sothing?"
Shui Wuhen smiled lightly, "I've seen many lone people with powers like you who are proud and arrogant, but you need to understand that even among people with powers, there are huge differences. So people are ones you can never afford to ss with in your lifeti..."
"Oh? It seems you all have big backgrounds?" Raymond was not angry and asked with interest.
Shui Wuhen didn't answer Raymond's question, or rather, he simply didn't bother to show off his background.
It was still senior mber Li Yuanlong who saw the atmosphere was a bit awkward and ca out to help introduce: "I wonder if Dr. Raymond has heard of 'Kunlun'?"
"Of course." Raymond didn't deny it, then asked in surprise, "Your North Arican Hongn is related to 'Kunlun'?"
"Not just North Arican Hongn. We should say that Hongn's existence is related to 'Kunlun'..." Li Yuanlong said thoughtfully.
Probably because Ren had introduced Raymond to him beforehand, he directly told Raymond about this kind of thing that wasn't very secret.
It turned out that Hongn's founder Hong Ying ca from China's secret realm for people with powers—'Kunlun'.
Raymond was indeed not unfamiliar with Kunlun.
The Kunlun in this world didn't really have much to do with the Kunlun from the myths and legends of his previous life on Earth. Only the nas were the sa.
The only thing they had in common was probably that this world's Kunlun was also within China's borders.
Raymond also knew sothing about Hongn from his previous life. The founder was also called Hong Ying, but this world's Hong Ying was clearly not an ordinary person.
If Li Yuanlong hadn't introduced it, Raymond probably wouldn't have connected Hongn with Kunlun.
However, Kunlun actually had different origins and backgrounds in different Marvel worlds.
According to Li Yuanlong's introduction, this world's Kunlun sounded sowhat similar to Kamar-Taj.
The only difference was that Kamar-Taj was a holy place for sorcerers, while Kunlun was a holy place for martial artists who practiced Ki.
Kunlun mastered a cultivation thod called Ki gong. Besides making people into those with powers, those who cultivated it to high levels could also extend their lives.
