Chow's restaurant. A very famous restaurant for its steak. Only rich people could dine here and if your section was VVIP on top of that spoke volus of your status.
Wei Jun entered the restaurant for the second ti. The first ti he entered was when he ca there to et Na Tong, the woman who had put out a target on Zhan Yi and Quan Li.
Wei Jun made his way to the VVIP section and found it to be empty. It was strange for such a famous restaurant. Wei Jun found a man in the middle sitting on a table, eating a steak gracefully.
He looked like a typical Western with blonde hair and slightly blonde eyes, dressed in a suit, he looked like he ca straight out of a spy movie.
Wei Jun couldn't feel any Qi from the man so he just ignored it. Either he wasn't awakened, or he was sothing else. Since Wei Jun had only encountered mana so far, and even through direct physical contact, Wei Jun didn't know much about anything else.
[He's a mana user, host]
Wei Jun put up his guard but let it down the next mont.
[You don't need to worry host]
[Mages are weak in close combat]
[He has no traces of aura so he's not physically great]
[Even if he can cast spells very quickly, the shortest spell takes two seconds]
[You can react before that]
Wei Jun rembered a saying the system had said before. Mages never let anyone get closer to them if they intend to fight.
Wei Jun approached the man and took the seat from across him. The man, presumably Mark Wilson, looked at the man across him and said, "Mister Ruan, I presu?"
Wei Jun remained quiet. Mark hadn't stood up to et him which ant there was nothing official yet.
Wei Jun didn't say anything. Mark looked at him for a while before he said, "Before we begin, I would like to tell you that my fee is very high but I get the job done. If you're not willing to et my demands, there is no point in going forward with this."
Wei Jun didn't reply but he nodded to give Mark a go to speak.
"I understand that there are so types of pills that only people with Qi can make. I want those." Mark spoke.
"I looked into you. You recently got accepted in a sect, a good one. so you must have been given many treasures, right?" Mark asked.
Wei Jun didn't let his confusion show up on his face. After all, he didn't know what Mark was talking about. Since when was he accepted? He wasn't inford of that. Besides, he had only been to a sect just once and that was last night where he didn't leave such a good impression behind.
Yet, he was accepted? He was finding that hard to believe.
Wei Jun remained quiet, no answer leaving his mouth. Mark chuckled and said, "Lady Lin said you would be a bit difficult."
Mark then pulled out a piece of paper and slid it across saying, "I need these elixirs. If you can sacrifice your share of elixirs and get these, I will get you whatever you want."
Wei Jun took the piece of paper and read it. The list followed a few elixirs that Wei Jun could easily get from the shop. They weren't expensive as well.
Cumulatively they only cost him ten million yuan. What did catch his eye was the list of the elixirs. The items stated were of yin essence. For won.
Wei Jun looked at Mark for a few monts but still didn't speak a word. According to the system, so spells require the requirent of the voice. Whatever he said could be the prerequisite to act co king of a spell.
Wei Jun pulled a pen out of his pocket while he pocketed the list. He wrote on the napkin near him and slid it across, "Deal done. Na: Shao Chen."
Mark read it and laughed slightly. You do know that spells have categories, right? I cannot use ntal high-level ntal spells because my attribute is fire.
Wei Jun just stared back, without saying a word. He didn't understand what Mark ant nor was he interested in knowing.
"Haa… You are difficult indeed." Mark said as he pocketed the napkin and said, "I will let you know about the exchange et-up via text ssage since you are so cautious about speaking."
Wei Jun nodded and stood up to leave when Mark said, "Let us have a pleasant partnership, Mister Ruan."
Wei Jun didn't say anything and left. He headed straight for his car and headed straight to the warehouse after making sure there was no spell cast on him.
[You can nullify spells with your Qi]
[Qi interferes with mana circuits so that can help]
[Of course, that would only work on lower-level spells since you are currently not that high-ranked yourself]
It was also the system that assured him that there were no spells cast on him. Wei Jun arrived at his warehouse and made his way inside. He donned his biker outfit and left the warehouse on his bike.
**********
Recently, Yuan Yin city was very chaotic. Attacks of unknown origin, so dicine guy's attack that disfigured half the city, a terrorist attack that blew a good part of the city, and the recent prison massacre. Everything was very chaotic about it.
While in the middle of all of that, Zhao Hui, thanks to his promotion, only had more work added. And since a good chunk of the police force was under investigation for many cases of corruption, the police departnts were severely short-staffed.
"Coffee," A girl placed a cup of coffee in front of Zhao Hui. Zhao Hui took it with gratitude and smiled at the young woman who seed to be in her early twenties.
"Little Rong, it is hard to believe a gentle girl like you works for the cultivator's special forces." Zhao Hui said.
"Well, it's because of my father. That's all." The girl surnad Rong replied with a smile. Her facial features were hidden by the shade so she couldn't be seen completely.
Zhao Hui said, "Haha. Then your father made the right choice. A talent like you belongs in the world of law enforcent. Helping people is a great virtue."
"I actually didn't want to beco a cultivator police. I wanted to be the normal one, to get in direct contact with people. But unfortunately, I awakened at a young age so I had to reconsider my career path." The young woman whose features still couldn't be made out said.
"What do you an 'unfortunate'? You don't have to be part of the police to serve people. Besides, crooked cultivators are a greater threat than normal criminals." Zhao Hui said.
The young woman didn't say anything in response and just sipped her coffee.
"Tell about your recent cases." The young woman said, looking at the file opened in front of Zhao Hui that had the na and picture of a familiar person.
"Wei Jun Ruan. Technically, he hadn't done anything wrong. But I just lack the evidence to change that point." Zhao Hui sighed and said. It was a person who had almost crippled the entire police force.
The public still didn't fully trust the police and many of the policen were fired because of extensive investigations. It wasn't just that, the D.A. had also taken quite the hit, making the police departnt lose a great ally.
"Is it possible he isn't guilty?" The young woman asked.
"No. He is." Zhao Hui resolutely replied while he closed the file.
Just at that mont, a voice ca from his radio, "Calling all units. The bike suspect has appeared in the city. I repeat! The biker suspected of high-end robberies, civilian attack, and the prison attack has been spotted in the city."
Zhao Hui hurriedly took the radio and spoke, "This is Sergeant Hui. Show responding."
He then switched the channel and said, "Call every officer, even those off duty. Set up barricades throughout the city. We must capture him this ti."
Zhao Hui was about to leave when the young woman said, "Should I co, Uncle Hui?"
Zhao Hui looked at the girl and contemplated for a while. With her there, he could easily catch the person in suspicion but he didn't know if it was right.
The cultivator special forces didn't interfere in the normal cases per the imperial decree. He didn't want the young woman to get in trouble so he said, "For now it doesn't seem to be a cultivator's case. Let think about it."
The young woman nodded and said, "Do not hesitate though."
Zhao Hui nodded and left the station. As for the young woman, she took the file on the table that Zhao Hui was just reading and began to read it, "Wei Jun Ruan." That was all she said and kept on reading.
