On a public vehicle of the Stability Maintenance Group.

The person in charge, Eddie, was flipping through a document.

A document...

About the Sea World Association.

"I thought this was a hype by the Sea World Association, but I didn't expect it to be true. Raffi Military Attache's son really died."

Eddie put down the document in his hand.

"It can't be considered hype, it's just taking the opportunity to promote York to the forefront."

Beside Eddie, a middle-aged man in a suit said.

He was also a member of the Stability Maintenance Group, named Charter.

"York... I've dealt with this person, a sly old fox, very shrewd."

Eddie narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he said, "Aurora has temporarily suppressed this matter because Red Flame has deployed troops on the border, but Raffi will definitely not let it go so easily. According to my investigation, he only has one son, Russell."

"Now is a special period, and the Aurora Empire is suppressing it, but when the situation on the border stabilizes, Raffi will definitely question us."

Charter said, somewhat regretfully, "Unfortunately, we have too few people we can use at the moment. The forces in Xia City are intricate and affect the whole situation. Using the military's power is too sensitive, otherwise..."

"The military... If the power of the army could be used, the task of this trip to Xia City wouldn't have fallen to me."

Eddie said, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, "The more difficult the situation, the more we must do things well, so that we can highlight our abilities."

"In the current situation, it's like asking a skilled woman to cook without rice. Our group has only twenty or so people, most of whom are clerks, and your own fists aren't hard enough, who would listen to you?"

Charter shook his head.

"Soon, soon."

Eddie said, his gaze falling on the document in his hand, as if he had thought of something, "Has the murderer who killed Raphael and the others been found yet?"

"How can we find them? It was dark, and it was a riverside scenic belt with a complex flow of people... But I guess these little brats were too arrogant and provoked martial artists they shouldn't have, so they were killed. Back then, because of General Melbourne's incident in Xia City, the top figures were unwilling to confront the country head-on and temporarily left to avoid the limelight, but the base of strong people is still there. There are at least eighty people who can deal with Russell, if not a hundred."

"Is that so? I know an old man named Baili Changkong, who is a master. Although he is old and can't fight anymore, it's still no problem for him to deal with young martial artists like Russell."

"Baili Changkong... Our Martial Artist Association does have a record, but he's over seventy years old, his Qi and Blood has long since declined, and he shouldn't be aggressive anymore. Plus, he lives in Wuhe City..."

Charter frowned, about to say what he knew, but Eddie gave him a faint glance.

Instantly...

Charter understood.

"I understand, this matter is probably done by this old geezer Baili Changkong. I seem to have some evidence, I'll go back and check it out carefully."

"Yes, check it carefully, record it in the file, and list him as the primary suspect."

Eddie said.

Charter nodded, about to say something, but saw Eddie's face change, and he said to the driver, "Find a secluded place with few people to park."

"Sir…"

"We're being followed."

Eddie said calmly, then sneered, "But it should be a newbie, without any basic common sense. He keeps glancing with his eyes while following a Spirit Nurturing expert. I want to see which ignorant force dares to target me. If things go smoothly, I might be able to catch a big fish."

"Sir, should we call for backup?"

"No need, what kind of experts can Xia City have?"

Eddie said casually.

Clearly, he was extremely confident in his own strength.

Just then, the car turned a corner and stopped at an abandoned construction site.

Eddie got out of the car and waited there.

At this time, the person behind seemed to realize that he had been exposed, so he simply stopped hiding. After the car stopped, a young man got out.

"Hmm?"

Looking at this young figure, Eddie, with his excellent memory, recognized him immediately: "I remember you, Baili Changkong's grandson, that Baili Qingfeng who was praised by him for developing energy in just a few days?"

Baili Qingfeng stepped forward and stopped ten meters away from Eddie: "Did you do what happened to my father's factory?"

"Oh?"

Eddie nodded: "There was such a thing."

After speaking, he continued, "However, you please your grandfather, and you are the best of the younger generation of your Bai Li family. As long as you can persuade your grandfather to help me, I can get the bank to release the loan for your father's factory with just a word. With the loan, that factory can operate. At that time, your family will get a factory worth hundreds of thousands for nothing."

"If my grandfather keeps refusing, I'm afraid you won't let it go, will you?"

"That's right."

Eddie looked at Baili Qingfeng's young face. This kind of young man should be given a heavy dose of medicine and scared into obedience: "I shoulder the important task of maintaining the stability of Xia City. What I do is to save the country and the people. If your grandfather doesn't cooperate, he is not qualified to enjoy the treatment of a citizen of our Xia Country. He is an ingrate. At that time, not only your grandfather, but your family will be implicated. Imprisonment is a light punishment. For those with ulterior motives who betray us, I never show mercy. I slaughter their entire family. Therefore, you should persuade your grandfather properly..."

"Bang!"

Eddie didn't finish his words before Baili Qingfeng in front of him moved.

The moment he moved, it was as if a submerged furnace was suddenly detonated, releasing endless flames and heat, almost tangible.

"Slaughter my entire family, you are so insane, I'll fight you!"

Along with his step forward, the thick energy rose from the soles of his feet, causing him to cross the ten-meter distance between them in an instant. As he crossed the distance, the fierce aura accumulated from killing several people rushed towards him, causing Eddie, who was still confident and didn't pay much attention to him, to change his expression.

"This momentum, this murderous aura... the Bai Li family has such an expert!"

Eddie roared.

He was, after all, a Spirit Nurturing expert for many years. His cultivation was far beyond what Hong Lie and Jiang Ziheng could compare to. In the entire Xia City, there were probably fewer than five people who could defeat him.

The battle experience of going through hundreds of battles, coupled with his own powerful physique, allowed him to not only not retreat under Baili Qingfeng's momentum suppression, but instead stimulate his Qi and Blood and bravely meet the attack.

With a step forward, he seemed to transform into a fierce tiger emerging from its cage, a kind of metallic, horse-like, tragic aura that seemed to crawl out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushed towards him, almost able to intimidate people and make them feel fear.

Fist Intent!

The Eddie in front of him, even though he hadn't cultivated Fist Intent, possessed a terrifying aura and held a high position. The power of his punch was not necessarily inferior to Fist Energy!

Amplified by this force, which was almost Fist Intent, his punch actually seemed even more formidable than Baili Qingfeng's.

"Must kill!"

Seeing this scene, a cold light burst from Baili Qingfeng's eyes.

Ferocious!

If this kind of terrifyingly fierce person really attacked his father and sister, who were just ordinary people, they would undoubtedly die!

He had to go all out and kill him before he attacked his family!

In the next moment, the image of the ancient Thunder Beast was visualized in his spiritual world. In an instant, it seemed to soar out of the spiritual world, crushing the tragic aura of metal and horses that Eddie had unleashed. At the same time, Baili Qingfeng's body seemed to break through the limits of the human body, and the originally surging, violent, and thunderous Fist Energy soared by a fold...

The terrifying baleful aura was like a rolling blood dragon, about to soar into the sky!
