Although Evil Sword God had been arrested, given his identity, the matter had been suppressed in the end. As for the abnormal large-scale power outage in the area and the malfunctioning of electronic equipment, Songhai city's Electric Power Bureau finally took responsibility for it. The next day, the accident notice posted clearly stated that the cause of the outage was an equipment error. In the end, only those who had personally been involved would know what had really happened.
That night, not long after Evil Sword God had been taken into custody, Odd Zhuo received calls from two people.
The first was from his old leader, Secretary Dakang.
"Hello, Little Zhuozi …"
Odd Zhuo had already been overwhelmed by the old Secretary's familiar address at the beginning, but now he was completely used to it.
Odd Zhuo nodded. "Mm, it's me, Secretary …"
On the other end of the line, Secretary Dakang's tone was a little meaningful. "I've always felt that you had an expert lurking around you … Hehe, this time, you were able to capture Evil Sword God completely …"
Odd Zhuo was stunned when he heard this. If shifu knew that he hadn't taken responsibility for this, he would definitely hate him!
"Secretary Dakang, it's not like that …"
Odd Zhuo was about to defend himself when Secretary Dakang's voice rang out again on the other end of the line. "Don't be afraid. As long as you can contribute to society, I don't care if you have one or two experts by your side. But to be able to capture this Evil Sword God, I'm afraid that the senior you invited definitely isn't weak, and might not be weaker than me or Old Yi at all. "
"Secretary, I …"
"Alright, no need to explain anymore. I understand you. "
On the other end of the line, Secretary Dakang nodded slightly and said unhurriedly, "Everyone has secrets, and people without secrets can't live on. You've won glory for our educational cause, and now you're a role model for all children. I should be the one thanking you for this … later, if Old Yi calls, directly push it to me and say that I was the one who invited the senior behind you. That way, he won't run his mouth behind my back … "
"…" Listening to the phone, Odd Zhuo suddenly felt a little stupefied.
It had originally seemed like something that couldn't be explained clearly, but had actually been inexplicably resolved just like that?
"Given Old Yi's temperament, I'm guessing that he definitely won't be able to resist coming to Songhai city when he hears about this. He might even call you. Let's get this straight first, this is more important. Old Yi is a very shrewd person. "
At this point, Secretary Dakang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Previously, he, Old Jiang, and I made a bet to see who could catch Chen Nanxuan first. In the end, I never thought that I would be the one who picked it up! Little Zhuozi, you've made me proud again! "
Odd Zhuo: "…"
Secretary Dakang: "Moreover, you did one detail very well this time. It was to suppress the media at the first instance and not alarm those people. It's better for Old Yi to handle the matter of Evil Sword God himself. "
"…"
"Little Zhuozi, don't worry. Although there was no news exposure this time, there would definitely be a lot of internal commendations. If you rise to our Alliance of Ten Thousand Schools in the future, if Old Yi is willing to put in a good word for you, it'll be quite a big deal. "
"Yes, Secretary …"
Odd Zhuo thanked him and hung up. He couldn't help taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his sweat.
He was sitting at home, but the pot fell from the sky …
It turned out that he didn't have the right to decide whether he would take the blame or not, because it was predestined! Which sky had it fallen from?!
…
…
Not long after Secretary Dakang hung up, another phone rang in the staff apartment where Odd Zhuo was staying. The number showed that it was an unknown number, but when Odd Zhuo saw the caller ID, he already knew that it was most likely General Yi calling.
To be honest, he and General Yi had actually met once at the military training exercise for the six schools, but General Yi hadn't been very familiar with Odd Zhuo at that time.
This was a hero who had founded the nation back then, and a legendary existence who had single-handedly fended off a demon god. In fact, he was already indifferent to a lot of things. It was impossible for an ordinary junior to curry favor with him.
So this phone call was in fact an opportunity.
But right now, Odd Zhuo's priority was to take the blame for shifu … Making shifu happy was his top priority. Although he hadn't learned anything from shifu yet, with this master-disciple relationship, Odd Zhuo felt that it was only a matter of time.
From the very beginning, Odd Zhuo had already thought this through.
Odd Zhuo picked up the phone. Compared with Secretary Dakang's usual matchmaking tone, General Yi's voice sounded deeper and more serious. "Are you … Odd Zhuo?"
Odd Zhuo nodded. "I am …"
On the other end of the line, General Yi was silent. "Dakang is your shifu?"
Odd Zhuo: "General Yi, you misunderstand … We're just a leader and subordinate …"
General Yi couldn't help tsking. "Then why does he treat you like he treats his disciple? If this old man hadn't looked into your background, I would have almost thought you were his illegitimate child. "
Odd Zhuo's face twitched. "…"
Getting down to business, General Yi cleared his throat. "This old man just received a call from him saying that you've captured my long-lost junior brother who has been on the run for many years? Is this true? "
In fact, the moment he had received the call, General Yi hadn't really dared believe it, because no one knew his junior brother better than he did.
He was vicious and merciless, and had killed his shifu with his own hands. Back then, his junior brother's strength had already been very terrifying. Now, after disappearing for several hundred years, he had suddenly been captured, which made General Yi very suspicious.
Odd Zhuo: "General Yi, the news of Evil Sword God's capture is true. The Heaven-Cleaving sword in his hand has already been taken as evidence, and General Yi can personally verify it. "
"Very well, this old man can tell at a glance whether the Heaven-Cleaving sword is real or fake. I'll set off for Songhai city tomorrow … we'll see for ourselves then. "
On the other end of the line, General Yi said, "But this old man still has a question."
Odd Zhuo: "Please speak, General …"
General Yi: "I heard that you're the direct leader in this matter. Then can you tell this old man … how was my stupid junior brother defeated? I hope you're not trying to deceive me … I've already put a curse on this phone. If you hide anything, for the next six months, every time it rains, you'll feel an unbearable itch all over your body … "
"…"
To be honest, Odd Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief at this question. Because General Yi was asking how Evil Sword God had been defeated, not who had defeated him.
As long as he didn't expose Wang Ling, Odd Zhuo felt that it was perfectly fine.
In fact, he hadn't seen the battle with his own eyes, and had instead heard everything from Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal.
He just wanted to hear the truth …
Recalling Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's account of the battle, Odd Zhuo replied, "Ermmm … General Yi, it's like this …"
"First, he was slapped twice in the face …"
"Mm …"
"After that, he was stuck with a big magic sword …"
"Mm, and then …"
"That's all …"
