After chatting briefly with Yan Liben, Xu Zimo smiled.
"Since I'm the one handling this matter, may I ask how much authority I have?"
After all, Xu Zimo was still being treated as a stowaway.
So this was using evil to restrain evil.
He was one of that evil too.
Then how much authority could Yan Liben grant him?
Would it merely be petty skirmishes, or did he truly harbor lofty ambitions?
Xu Zimo was very curious.
Yan Liben smiled.
He said to Xu Zimo,
"As long as it concerns people or matters related to this case within Green City, you have the authority to mobilize them."
Xu Zimo was somewhat startled.
Or rather, somewhat surprised.
Because the authority Yan Liben had granted him was indeed exceptionally high.
It could even be said that it exceeded the authority held by many ordinary people.
Not everyone had the courage to grant so much power to so-called evil.
Of course, if Xu Zimo ultimately failed to solve the case, the consequences were easy to imagine.
Sometimes, the more resources one enjoyed, the greater the price one had to pay.
Yan Liben did not hide anything in response to Xu Zimo's surprise, instead speaking frankly.
"This is not your problem alone."
"You must understand that, in this matter, the two of us are bound together."
"I must use you to realize my ambitions, and your success is also of vital importance to me."
Yan Liben's meaning was actually easy to understand.
If Xu Zimo succeeded, then the concept of using evil to restrain evil that he had proposed
could naturally be carried forward.
But if Xu Zimo failed, the Spirit King would not support him in the future either.
That was why Yan Liben's support for Xu Zimo was naturally substantial.
