Darkness gave way to light, the mountain path twisted and turned. Although the sender of the letter remained elusive, a breakthrough in other areas was an acceptable outco.
"Where are those three? What’s the reason behind this cri syndicate targeting and our Great Xia Martial Artists?" Pressing the phone to his ear, Zhang Beixing asked.
Commissioner Bai didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, "According to our joint investigation with Interpol, we have preliminarily identified the location of these three people’s disappearance: right in Fog City, located in Britain, Ouzhou."
"And the reason this foreign cri syndicate is targeting you and the Great Xia Martial Artists is ultimately because of you!"
"???" Hearing such words from Commissioner Bai, Zhang Beixing furrowed his brows. Feeling that sothing was quite off, he asked, "Why?"
Commissioner Bai didn’t answer directly but suddenly asked a sowhat unrelated question, "If our investigation is correct, those three Martial Artists who disappeared abroad had contact with you before their disappearance, right?"
Stunned by the question, Zhang Beixing quickly recovered and said, "Yes, these people indeed had contact with before they disappeared. Commissioner Bai, are you suggesting that I’m the reason they disappeared?"
Commissioner Bai nodded. "Correct. During our recent review of these two cases, we found they have one commonality: the victims in both cases were related to you and had learned your Martial Arts."
"We discussed your situation and believe the reason for this is because you’re too special. So special that not only are you targeted, but even those influenced by you beco targets for that cri syndicate!"
Zhang Beixing listened as Commissioner Bai outlined the police’s speculation. Even though he had already suspected sothing, hearing the specific answers from Commissioner Bai made his expression inevitably grow grim. He fell silent.
All that has happened so far can be traced back to . The reason I’ve caught the cri syndicate’s eye is because I’m very special. Very special... Does that an I’ve beco Transcendent? Zhang Beixing pondered.
On the other end of the line, Commissioner Bai heard no response from Zhang Beixing for a long ti. Understanding that the information was impactful, he waited patiently.
After a mont, Zhang Beixing finished his contemplation. He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "I understand, Commissioner Bai. I’ll be careful with this. Please continue investigating those three who disappeared in Fog City and inform imdiately if there are any updates."
"No problem, it’s all part of the job," Commissioner Bai replied, assuring him it was a small matter.
Afterward, he chatted with Zhang Beixing about other things before the call disconnected.
Reflecting on their recent conversation, Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. The cri syndicate’s actions were stronger than he had anticipated. Previously in the Tai Luo Kingdom, they had colluded with the Tai Luo police to brazenly kidnap people, disregarding local laws. Now, in Great Xia, they had silently delivered a threat letter to his school’s doorstep. Critically, their whereabouts still hadn’t been traced by the investigation. Even now, Zhang Beixing didn’t even know the cri syndicate’s na.
He muttered, "They’re a tough nut to crack. I need to improve myself quickly."
A sense of urgency gripped Zhang Beixing.
He also thought it necessary to inform other Martial Artists about the situation, to give them a heads-up. He opened WeChat, found the "Great Xia Martial Artist Exchange Group," shared the photo of the threat letter, and briefly explained the situation to everyone, reminding them to be vigilant during this ti before he went to his Martial Arts Training.
As for the "Great Xia Martial Artist Exchange Group," after Zhang Beixing sent his ssage, there was a brief silence, and then it absolutely erupted!
Primordial Form Intent Ma Yuankai: "We must fight to the death! Damn it, they ’don’t mind destroying you and us’? What do they take us Great Xia Martial Artists for? Pigs and dogs to be slaughtered at will?!"
Ma Yuankai was already hot-tempered. Now, upon seeing Zhang Beixing’s ssage and photo, and feeling the cri syndicate’s arrogant disdain in every line of the threat letter, his blood pressure spiked. He imdiately voiced his opinion, making his stance clear.
After he kicked things off, others, recovering their senses, chid in.
Taizu Long Fist Tian Fenglin: "Ma Yuankai is right! We must fight to the death. Damn it, I’ve never seen such arrogant people! This is a slap in the face to us Great Xia Martial Artists, a trampling of our dignity!"
Original Style Tai Chi Quan Wan Mingde: "They must have eaten the hearts of bears and the gall of leopards, daring to threaten our President Zhang! We must take them down! President Zhang’s business is our business!"
Qingwei Daoist: "These fiends must be executed!"
Black Dragon Eighteen Palms Wu Yougui: "What’s the na of this cri syndicate? I’ve been abroad for a few years and still have so connections. I’ll investigate. I want to see what gives them the audacity to say such things!"
The group erupted in discussion, everyone outraged by the incident.
This was no longer just about Zhang Beixing alone.
It was about all of them, the entire community of Martial Artists!
