Coercion

"What did you say to Ziwei's people?" Myozun Chiou Buddha transmitted to Han Bi.

Han Bi sat back down and smiled. "Just a few trivial matters. Surely you needn't trouble yourself with them, Miaozun?"

"Ziwei destroyed Anunnaki and secretly kept the Tai Wei Hua's equipment. Yet you're helping him conceal it. Could you have a share of the spoils?" Miaozun sat amid the nebula, utterly composed, but his words made Han Bi's heart lurch.

Han Bi did his best to maintain his smile, inwardly astonished. Miaozun actually knows. Is he guessing, or...

His thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged. "Oh? Secretly keeping the spoils? So that's why you don't dare admit it. I was wondering why you were so eager to deny everything."

"Since when has the Shacha Civilization had the confidence to speak to me like this?" Miaozun asked pointedly, his words carrying a power that intimidated the mind.

Han Bi's mouth twitched, and he blurted out, "If you don't believe me, Miaozun, I'll invite the Tai Wei Hua Heavenly Police here right now. I can permit them to search within my civilization's territory."

Frankly, that was an extremely humiliating decision. But Han Bi had already realized that Miaozun must have uncovered a great deal and deduced that Ziwei was the force behind Anunnaki's destruction.

Once the Heavenly Police were informed, they would surely head into Ziwei's territory to search.

Rather than let that happen, he might as well summon the Heavenly Police and let them waste time in the Shacha Civilization, buying Huang Ji a chance to finish cracking the Quantum Divine Core or move it elsewhere.

Miaozun chuckled gently. "Why go that far, Your Majesty? Even if they are the Tai Wei Hua, allowing them to search freely within your civilization would still be a humiliation."
