Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 512: Chapter 0512: Conflict (Extra 6400, asking for monthly pass)

Zi and Wang Chaoqun’s mission was to get in touch with Su Lu and attempt to win him over.

Now, Huang Minghao’s actions have clearly made them see him as a troublemaker.

“I’m only following the rules.”

Huang Minghao said, forcing a smile.

“Is that so?”

Su Lu raised an eyebrow, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees.

Especially those who came with Huang Minghao, all showing changes in expression, as if their bodies froze with fear.

“You… you dare to lay a hand on us?”

Huang Minghao was genuinely surprised, suspecting that he had encountered a madman.

Was he not the slightest afraid of the power of the entire Cybernet division?

“Enough, assisting with investigation could also be done in East City!”

Zi shouted in irritation, waving her hand for them to leave.

She knew that if a conflict erupted, nobody present would benefit. She suddenly pressed in on Huang Minghao: “I told you to get out of my way! Can’t you understand?”

“Fine, very good!”

Huang Minghao, choked with anger, replied with a sarcastic laugh: “You just wait, I’ll include everything that happened today in my report.”

He stepped aside, after all he had not planned on initiating a fight with Su Lu here.

Yet the other party was like a keg of gunpowder, ready to explode at a slight touch!

He felt somewhat wronged.

As they watched Huang Minghao leave, Father Bai, Mother Bai, and particularly Bai Tong and Chu Gufeng, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chaoqun sighed: “Boss Bai, don’t you think you were overly impulsive?”

Surely this will give impression of being ‘rebellious’ to the upper management, which would be detrimental to our future developments.

“I really don’t intend to join the Cybernet division, so it doesn’t matter.”

Su Lu casually explained.

In fact, he was laughing bitterly inside.

Should he suppress his capability and let others push him around, just to conceal his true strength?

It might be fun to play dumb and dupe others, but if he played dumb too often, he might end up being a fool himself!

“No matter if what just happened was part of a factional struggle or something else, there better not be a next time. You won’t want to know the consequences.”

Su Lu climbed onto the airplane, reclined comfortably in his seat and addressed Zi.

Looking at Zi’s quickly changing face expressions, he felt a surge of joy deep inside.

When he embraced his Spirit Summoning form, he received information that the world was about to experience the third Spirit Tide.

He was one step closer to becoming a [Spiritualist] and creating the Secret Realm.

…

Half a month later.

Bai Jing restaurant.

Li Weiwei sat down at a table with Lin Hong and Cheng Feng. They looked around and found the atmosphere slightly eerie.

A few members of the Cybernet division, all wearing serious expressions and radiating an intimidating aura, sat at the table next to them.

They were expressionless, offering various valuable spirit materials for Su Lu to cook. It was only when they tasted the delicious food that their faces showed a hint of emotion.

‘Second tier, second tier… still second tier… Is this the foundation of the Cybernet division?’

Li Weiwei ate her food in small bites, trembling inside.

Such a massive structure was indeed far more powerful than their small team formed in a half-hearted manner.

“Boss Bai.”

After these members finished their meal and left, Zi walked in briskly, holding a file.

“Hmm? What’s up?”

Su Lu looked up and saw that there were no regular customers left in the restaurant.

Most of the people left were Cybernet elites. Apart from them, there were only Cheng Feng and the rest of his party.

Zi’s gaze also veered towards them.

“We should go, we should go now.”

Cheng Feng laughed awkwardly and quickly left with Li Weiwei.

“Sigh…”

As they left the restaurant, Li Weiwei let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Hong, hugging this little sister of hers, asked: “Have you developed a crush on Boss Bai Jing?”

“Not really… I just feel a little uncomfortable and unwilling.” Li Weiwei responded with a bitter smile: “It’s like we agreed to fail together, but he secretly became a god…”

…

“What’s it this time?”

Su Lu frowned, looking at Zi.

“Regarding the joint plan to hunt the Ancient God’s Eye… The headquarters has approved, but the whereabouts of the Eye of God is difficult to trace… he was last seen heading to the White Elephant Country, specifically to a certain temple.”

Zi replied: “I suspect he’s planning to sneak in from the border.”

“So it seems… You’ve questioned the captured God’s Ear and gathered a substantial amount of clues, forcing the Ancient God’s Eye into a corner, isn’t it?”

Su Lu chuckled.

“Indeed. We received substantial intelligence support, and have dismantled numerous bases of the Ancient God’s Eye… The enemy is furious, you should be careful.”

Zi warned: “Also… that Huang Minghao, he has been transferred to East City, serving as the deputy head of the branch… be careful.”

“An insignificant bug.”

Su Lu sneered, his eyes somewhat deep.

No matter how he put it, this round of personnel transfers was strange, seemingly targeting him.

“But… The third Spirit Tide will start soon, once the Secret Realm is established, I’ll move in right away… I’m done playing with you all.”

Su Lu had planned for a long time. He took a taxi to a villa.

This was the place Chu Gufeng purchased for him to relocate his family. The security and greening in this community were excellent. Among the Bai family, apart from keeping a slight eye on Chu Gufeng, there was nothing to worry about.

However, after the elderly couple arrived with nothing to do, they immediately made friends with the old men and women nearby, forming a terrifying matchmaking group. This gave Su Lu more trouble than the last encounter with God’s Ear.

The taxi stopped in front of the villa.

Su Lu paid the fare and got out, just as a white-collar beauty came out to greet him: “Are you home?”

“Yes, are you satisfied with your new job?”

This was a job Zi had recommended specifically for Bai Tong, with excellent benefits and arrangements, but Su Lu was only considering it as a temporary arrangement.

“It’s great, and my colleagues are very nice to me.”

Bai Tong gave a light laugh in response, looking at Chu Gufeng beside her, her eyes full of laughter.

If life could go on like this, she would be very satisfied.

She and Chu Gufeng were even thinking of getting married.

Chu Gufeng, this kid, could be presentable once cleaned up, and he had also become a lot steadier since his last lesson. But Su Lu knew that deep down, he was still a slacker.

Nevertheless, with him around, Chu Gufeng couldn’t mess up too much, so he just let things be.

After all, his sister jumped into the pit willingly, and he couldn’t be bothered to intervene.

The family had a harmonious meal together, almost making Su Lu believe that he had returned to his hometown.

But after the meal, when he went up to the balcony and looked up at the moon in the sky, he promptly regained a bit of clarity.

“What are you looking at?”

Bai Tong came up behind him and asked softly.

“I wish the world could always be like this moment… Unfortunately… everything is but a mere wish.”

Su Lu sighed and looked in a certain direction.

…

Cybernet division.

“Everyone should have heard about the personnel appointments. Next, I want to assign our first task.”

Huang Minghao opened a floating screen and projected a young man’s portrait on it: “Bai Jing! Codename ‘Death Crow’, extremely dangerous… Your task is to surveil him, monitor his every move.”

“Such uncontrolled power must always be monitored, just in case!”

“I want to know every single move made by his family, his friends, his lovers. Is that clear?!”
