Translator: 549690339
The sun was shining brightly, with a gentle breeze coming through.
Su Lu was riding in a carriage, instructing the coachman to roam around Nia City.
anwhile, his soul entered a trance state as he gathered a vast amount of intelligence through his ntal realm.
“The Goddess Church has replenished its strength again, with a fourth-tier master-class occupational person stationed… The location of the Federal Eleventh Bureau’s branch is also confird…’
“At the sa ti, there are traces of transcendent power in other parts of the city, the cause of which is unclear…”
What he was doing was looking for a suitable target for his ‘sealing ability’.
Even though, from the ntal realm, it wasn’t impossible to infiltrate the Bright Cathedral, the appearance of a seal using its power would be a major flaw.
Even if the opposite party can’t find the culprit, they can call for support from headquarters!
The Eleventh Bureau was treated the sa, therefore, Su Lu decided to abandon these two places.
What he was looking for were those wild trance-ascendants, the kind that even if bullied to death, had no place to seek help.
‘To a certain extent, isn’t this… making a show of strength only when t with weakness?’
As Su Lu touched his face, he felt his skin hardening. This should be the influence of the second generation of the Crow’s Mask, but it wasn’t his responsibility.
‘However… on the night before leaving Nia City, the wool that should be sheared still has to be shorn…’
Suddenly, he sensed a concentration of transcendent power again.
And there was a lot of it.
“Stop!”
Su Lu urgently stopped the carriage, his soul returned to his body. He opened the carriage door and looked towards the location where he detected the presence.
A large building appeared before him, bustling like a sports stadium, a sight quite rare in Nia City.
“What kind of place is this?”
“Young Master Ron, this is the ‘Nia City’s United Service Introduction for Bodyguards and Detectives!”‘
The coachman looked over once and replied with certainty: “This is a new business that has been set up in Nia City… As you know, because of the recent disaster, many people lack security, leading to an explosive increase in security-related businesses, and so the city governnt established this place, and also relaxed the relevant auditing for the qualifications of bodyguards and detectives…”
‘Is this what you call a service desk? Isn’t it simply an ancient rcenary Guild?’
Su Lu furrowed his brow in confusion: ‘So many Transcendents have gathered, and it doesn’t seem to be official; could there be sothing in Nia City that I don’t know about?’
Originally, he thought that with the crackdown and cleanup by the official Iron
Fist, followers of cults were unlikely to remain in Nia City, and even the wild
Transcendents would have to leave a lot.
But it seems that ordinary Transcendents were not affected at all, and there even seed to be a bit of a supportive attitude towards them. ‘What is this? A pilot project? Anyway, this city can’t get any worse?’
“You wait here!”
After so thought, Su Lu strode in.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw various exhibition booths neatly arranged, each one a contact point, under different banners.
– ‘Black Star Bodyguard, providing you with the most professional security’
‘Feiwenli’s private detective, professionally investigating all kinds of extramarital love and cheating behaviors’
‘Fatima Montari detective, trustworthy professional detective’
“Hmm?”
Among these exhibition booths, Su Lu saw a ‘familiar face’.
The detective Fatima Montari, from whom he had once bought information on Bess Taylor and Kira Gales. The red-haired, tall woman was sitting behind a desk, supporting her head in boredom.
Only then did Su Lu realize that she was actually a Transcendent.
It seed that she noticed Su Lu’s gaze, showed a polite smile, but clearly she did not recognize Su Lu’s real identity.
She knew Su Lu, not the blue-haired Ron.
“May I help you with anything?”
Seeing Su Lu co to the stall and sit down, Fatima Montari perked up and asked politely.
“I’m from out of town, I haven’t been to Nia City for long…”
Su Lu asked, “Is the security business here always so good? It makes want to invest a bit.”
Fatima glanced at Su Lu’s attire: high-quality goods, well-tailored, with a kind of low-profile luxury, obviously a wealthy man!
She laughed and said, “After the big disaster, it’s tough to rebuild social order imdiately, accompanied by a shortage of supplies, incidents of robbery, theft, and so on, are high… this industry being hot is inevitable, but like a tide, it will eventually recede.”
“A very vivid analogy, beautiful lady.”
Su Lu smiled inwardly, this explanation did not solve the problem of why there are so many Transcendents here.
He swept his gaze around, “I have so private matters that I would like to consult about, can we change the location?”
“No problem!”
It seed that Fatima was in a good mood today: “I wouldn’t refuse an invitation from a gentleman.”
Half an hour later, inside a coffee shop booth.
Stirring his coffee, filled with a strong aroma of milk, Su Lu said in a low voice, “Lady… I know about so ‘inner world’ stuff, as a well-known detective, it’s impossible that you don’t know about it too, right? I hope that we can be honest with each other!”
As a wealthy person in the Federation and a mber of the upper echelons, it would be strange if he didn’t know about the transcendent side of things.
Moreover, the events that occurred in Nia City couldn’t fool anyone.
Although the Federal Governnt had ‘debunked’ the rumours several tis, the existence of Transcendents in Nia City was almost an open secret to anyone with a bit of a network.
“So… what would you like to know?”
Fatima took a sip of her coffee elegantly, leaning slightly back.
“I want… to touch that world. You know? That kind of real, transcendent power…”
Su Lu displayed a teenager’s obsession and passion for mysterious power: “So… I want to hire you to investigate, to search for this kind of channel for , a safe and convenient channel…”
Fatima’s expression was a bit strange for a while.
Su Lu knew very well that this woman might even be considering whether or not to sell her professional information.
anwhile, she may also be amusingly scrutinizing herself under this ‘Muggle’s guise’ , enjoying the thrill of disguise.
After so ti, Fatima added another cube of sugar to her coffee: “The situation you’re talking about, I do know a bit about it, but what kind of price can you pay for it?”
“One hundred golden dragons!”
Su Lu had no intention of saving money for Billy. He saw Fatima’s eyes light up as expected and added, “This is just a deposit!”
“My God! Generous young master!” Fatima exclaid in surprise: “You will know everything you want to know, I swear!”
The information for an ordinary first-tier profession was about this price already.
At this mont, Fatima was honestly considering whether or not to sell out..
