He pondered for a moment before finally saying to Di Jie, "Young Master Di, please leave. The Shadow Guard Bureau needs to conduct its investigation properly."
The smile on Di Jie's face immediately vanished upon hearing this.
What had he just heard? Zhao Lei was actually throwing him out!
He, Di Jie, was a young master of the Di Family. In Greatwood City, who wouldn't show him some respect?
And Zhao Lei dared to throw him out?
"Zhao Lei, I'll give you one more chance to reconsider your words."
Di Jie spoke darkly, his voice carrying a hint of threat. "Our Di Family is renowned throughout Greatwood City for our tracking techniques. You don't trust me, yet you trust some unfamiliar Holy Land disciple? If he fails to find him, your position won't be secure."
He paused, a cold sneer curling across his lips.
"When the time comes and you come begging me, one portion of Grandmaster True Liquid won't be enough. Think it over carefully."
He had to obtain Zhao Lei's Grandmaster True Liquid!
That thing was of utmost importance to him.
With Grandmaster True Liquid, his chances of breaking through to Grandmaster would increase by another degree.
So no matter what, he had to get his hands on that bottle of Grandmaster True Liquid.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei hesitated only briefly before continuing in a deep voice, "Escort Di Jie out of the Bureau."
Several Shadow Guards then came to Di Jie's side and said expressionlessly, "Young Master Di, this way."
Di Jie still wanted to say something, but the True Qi of the surrounding Shadow Guards was slowly gathering, their auras locking onto him.
This was the Shadow Guard Bureau, an official force. Even his family's old ancestor wouldn't dare cause trouble here, much less him.
