Although Fang Ze had already inford Nan Yi that he was going to teleport and had asked her to confirm, she was still startled to see Fang Ze suddenly appear before her.
Fang Ze glanced at her and said, "Don't speak of this matter to anyone."
Nan Yi snapped out of her daze and quickly agreed.
Seeing Nan Yi's agreent, Fang Ze used the "Verbal Contract" to solidify this agreent, then he followed the established plan to check on the fate of several detained Council mbers.
Soon, he confird that the fate of those Council mbers had not changed.
With one possibility eliminated, only one remained.
Although this still posed many obstacles in Fang Ze's search, the "Black Panther" ability was still effective, at least preventing the worst scenario.
Thinking this, Fang Ze gave Nan Yi a few instructions and then used "Imperial Expedition" to return to the Provincial Governnt.
This ti, his target was the Shadow Warrior "i" he had left behind.
A mont later, Fang Ze was back at the Provincial Governnt.
As soon as he returned to the Provincial Governnt, Fang Ze saw Bai Zhi standing in front of him, looking curiously at him.
Fang Ze lightly tapped her forehead and chuckled, "Why are you staring at like that?"
Bai Zhi felt pain and, covering her forehead, replied irritably, "It's because you just disappeared suddenly and gave a scare. I thought you had vanished."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze smiled and then pinched her exquisitely beautiful cheek.
Bai Zhi's cheek felt tender and smooth, just like a freshly peeled egg, stirring sothing within Fang Ze.
The teasing remark he was about to make got stuck, and, letting go of her cheek a bit awkwardly, he said, "How could I possibly disappear? I just went to verify sothing."
Their intimate actions made Bai Zhi's heart beat faster. She didn't continue to inquire about what Fang Ze had gone to verify but instead relayed Lady Jin's answer to him, "Lady Jin said, 'Talents are a very special thing. Not one in a million may possess it. The reasons for their ergence are unknown—so are born with them, so suddenly acquire them after waking from sleep, and others just before they die.'
"Rumors say it is the world's favor, others say it is a manifestation of advancing in power.
"And like abilities, talents vary vastly. For example, so may gain an additional Awakening Ability slot, so might double their Martial Arts training speed, and for others, the more enemies they face, the more terrifying their power becos. But all are passive abilities."
"The most important characteristic of talents is that they cannot be restricted by Law Prohibition nor detected by current thods. If the person doesn't admit it, they are almost impossible to detect."
"This has caused many in history to falsely claim they possessed talents. Such as one who said he could fire a hundred shots without hitting anyone."
"Although he indeed never hit a target in his life, ...no one could confirm whether he missed intentionally."
Fang Ze: ...
Dispelling that absurd image from his mind, Fang Ze was sure he knew where the problem lay!
Since Dahei Jialuo infiltrated the Real World, if influencing people was possible through talents rather than abilities, then Fang Ze would continue this line of inquiry!
It's just 60 Council mbers! Visiting each one wouldn't fail him in finding those hidden traitors!
Thinking this, Fang Ze felt assured and then he and Bai Zhi got back into the car, continuing towards the next Council mber's location…
...
anwhile.
In that opulent room, those few people dressed in suits and wearing golden badges were still chatting softly.
The leading Council mber said slowly, "Do you think Fang Ze's visiting each Council mber is really just about paving the way for the Si Family's rebuilding?"
Hearing this Council mber's words, the other mbers stared blankly for a while. They had spent the whole day here watching the excitent, never really considering this angle.
One of the Council mbers pondered for a mont, then said, "On the surface, Fang Ze's visit to the Provincial Governnt indeed seems to be for his promotion and to secure his Council mber status."
"And his actions over these past few days seem to suggest the sa."
"But think about it, it seems a little too rushed."
The Council mber looked at the others, then spoke slowly, "If I were Fang Ze, I would probably absorb the resources given by the federation slowly and just quietly observe the situation within the province, to see who jumps out first rather than rushing to et all the Council mbers."
"Moreover… his way of eting the Council mbers is a bit strange. Each eting only lasting half an hour or an hour. What can really be accomplished in that?"
Although these two Council mbers started to suspect Fang Ze's motives, there was still a dissenting opinion among the Council mbers. One scoffed, "I think you're overthinking it."
"I've researched his history in Erald City. He has always been this decisive. Plus, the reason he ets every Council mber briefly is simply to preliminarily determine friends and foes and to get an overall feel for the internal situation."
"If anyone really wants to side with him or owes the Si Family a favor, half an hour is enough to reveal the essentials. If they bear enmity towards the Si Family, it would have shown either during the invitation or the eting."
"That's plenty for him."
"Otherwise, what other motives could he have, to check on us? Hahaha."
At his words, the Council mbers in the room all couldn't help but laugh.
