Saigo Kadoko

Hearing the server's report.

Xi Shenlian immediately began making calculations.

Yet his expression did not change at all.

With the hand that was not holding the crab claw, he gently waved:

"Let them in."

Although he had not met them directly.

He knew perfectly well why they had come looking for him.

It was nothing more than the sense of crisis that Ouin Chiyoka's appearance last night had given them.

I'm afraid Ouin Chiyoka's sudden appearance has already become, in the eyes of some people, a deliberate arrangement by the Ouin Family?

At this thought.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Xi Shenlian's mouth.

If he had not possessed Perfect Nature, which could automatically determine every lie, perhaps he might have thought the same.

There was no helping it. The other party's appearance had indeed been a little too coincidental.

But through yesterday's contact.

He knew very clearly that their meeting had been entirely the result of luck.

He had been wandering around, hoping to find a local who could tell him about the local situation.

By chance, he had encountered Ouin Chiyoka, who was also wandering around.

If that hadn't happened, those guys might have continued observing for some time...

Xi Shenlian casually tossed aside the crab claw he had just taken two bites from and wiped his hands.

One minute later.

After the server who had gone in to report left.

Before long.

Six men and women dressed in high-end suits, carrying a rather imposing air, slowly entered from outside.

The leader was a mature, beautiful woman of around thirty.

She wore a black checkered suit jacket over a white blouse, with a short skirt reaching her knees and black stockings below. Paired with high heels decorated with golden patterns, she looked like the quintessential career woman.

Her figure and appearance were both excellent.

What stood out most was her stern bearing, which carried a distinctive charm.

A charm as proud as a swan's...

Xi Shenlian could also clearly sense that the other party was not weak.

She could probably fight five Ouin Chiyokas?

According to what Ouin Chiyoka had said.

She herself seemed to be a level-five Expert Level Martial Artist. Did that mean this woman was at least level six?

Xi Shenlian, who had never truly fought martial artists of any level, made a somewhat uncertain judgment inwardly.

However.

Regardless.

He understood one thing: the other party was not weak among ordinary people.

She was even exceptionally outstanding.

According to Ouin Chiyoka, Expert Level was already the lifelong limit of the vast majority of ordinary people.

It was enough to open a school, take on disciples, and win prizes in all kinds of formal competitions.

To reach this level at such a young age.

No matter what, she should be able to earn herself the reputation of a genius, right?

And according to Xi Shenlian's perception, the other people beside her also possessed more or less some strength.

They were probably the so-called Elite Level.

But that level of strength genuinely meant nothing to him...

Too weak...

He could not sense the slightest hint of danger from them.

In his perception, the threat they posed was no different from that of the surrounding servers.

Whether there was one, ten thousand, or a million of them, he could win with ease.

After they entered.

The moment they saw Xi Shenlian.

Everyone instinctively froze.

They looked at Xi Shenlian, bathed in the golden winter sunlight. He wore nothing on his upper body, exposing fair skin, while his lower half was clad only in a pair of loose black trousers. His muscles were not bulky in the slightest, instead filled with an overly perfect and strange sense of harmony. He looked like a living deity.

For some inexplicable reason.

They felt a wave of pressure.

It was as if they were coming into contact with another kind of creature.

And in those deep violet eyes, the second vertical pupil within the round pupils seemed to shine with a strange radiance.

The mere act of him looking toward them made their hearts turn cold instinctively.

A martial artist's instincts and years of experience in battles large and small told them with absolute clarity that they could never oppose the existence before them.

The slender throat of the leading woman moved involuntarily.

"You..."

But before she could say anything.

Xi Shenlian casually pointed at the chairs the server had brought over.

"Sit."

His tone was rather flat.

But it contained no trace of contempt.

It was merely direct and indifferent.

After hesitating for a second, the woman glanced at the chairs first, then led her subordinates to sit down one after another.

The feeling was like appearing before a superior.

Their postures were incredibly straight.

The arrogance they had shown at first was entirely gone.

"...That... Lord Xi..."

As she faltered, unsure of how to begin.

She glanced at the surrounding servers, and the meaning was obvious.

Seeing this.

Xi Shenlian had no intention of making things difficult for her.

He waved at the servers, signaling for them to leave.

Then.

The woman introduced herself:

"My name is Saigo Kadoko. My subordinates and I are from the Third Branch of the Tokyo City Awakened Registration Bureau of Eastern Ying Nation."

"We came here uninvited this time to discuss with you the various management policies our nation has regarding newly awakened Awakened."

"You should understand that the government has always placed great importance on all matters concerning Awakened, and this is even more true for newly awakened Awakened who are unfamiliar with the situation."

"To help newly awakened Awakened better understand the government's position, every newly awakened Awakened is assigned specialized personnel to discuss matters and maintain contact with them. In this regard, I am the government official currently assigned to keep in contact with you..."

Xi Shenlian nodded without changing his expression.

No one wanted nuclear warheads running and jumping around everywhere.

But completely restraining them was clearly unrealistic as well.

Therefore, having dedicated personnel maintain contact and stability was naturally perfectly normal.

After that, Saigo Kadoko went on to say some highly formulaic things.

For example:

What matters crossed the government's bottom line and could not be done.

What matters fell within the scope of what the government could tolerate and could be negotiated.

Generally speaking.

The basic idea was that as long as no one went too far, everyone could talk things over peacefully.

Besides that.

Saigo Kadoko also briefly introduced the general internal situation of Eastern Ying Nation.

Compared to the information Xi Shenlian had learned from Ouin Chiyoka yesterday, it was largely the same.

Half an hour later.

Before Saigo Kadoko left.

She hinted that other local forces would probably attempt to contact Xi Shenlian in the near future.

If Xi Shenlian was willing to join a major force, the government would offer extremely generous terms!

She hoped Xi Shenlian would give it serious consideration.

After the other party left.

Holding the business card that still carried a lingering fragrance and recalling the meaningful look in her eyes.

Xi Shenlian merely shook his head with complete indifference.

They know I'm a womanizer, so they found a beautiful woman to contact me?

Still...from beginning to end, there were no threats or coercion. All they offered was inducement and seduction...

It seems my fellow Awakened predecessors really are a bunch of ruthless people... They completely educated everyone with their fists: don't threaten Awakened, because they might well show you all kinds of Ruthless Tactics...

As he thought about it.

Xi Shenlian could not help laughing helplessly.
