Jiangnan Abnormal Affairs Bureau.
Confinement Prison.
The empty room had a sci-fi feel to it. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of silver-white metal plates, and the built-in lights illuminated the large space.
A silver-white metal chair was placed in the middle of the room, and a man in a prison uniform sat on it.
His hands and feet were bound by thick shackles, and his face was pale.
He looked like he had nothing left to live for.
Outside the prison, Yue Heng retracted his gaze from the observation window.
The person locked inside was the Beast-tamer he had captured from the Dragon Lake Wetland three days ago.
"This guy's name is Luo Hongbo."
Yang Jian, who was standing at the side, said, "He awakened naturally last May and has the ability to control mutated creatures. Our people spent a lot of effort to pry open his mouth."
Yue Heng stroked his chin. "Unaffiliated?"
The term 'unaffiliated' originated from online games, and it was used by superhumans outside the system.
Now, this term was officially recognized as a non-system naturally awakened.
Yang Jian nodded, then shook his head. "According to his statement, he joined an organization called Super Poker two months ago, and his number is Seven of Spades."
The organization Luo Hongbo joined was very mysterious. Although he had an official number, he was still in the observation period and had not been accepted as a true member.
According to the requirements of Super Poker, he needed to show his strength and ability, and only after getting the approval of the organization's upper echelons could he enjoy all the benefits.
The temptation of money was the main reason Luo Hongbo was willing to join Super Poker.
Luo Hongbo was a gambler. Before he awakened, he had lost all his family's wealth, causing his wife and children to break up and be in debt.
He had almost walked into a dead end.
It was not clear how Super Poker knew that Luo Hongbo had awakened his superpower, and when they first met him, they had already transferred one million in cash into his account.
They also promised that after he passed the organization's approval and became an official member, his annual salary would be at least ten million!
How could Luo Hongbo, who was addicted to gambling, resist such temptation? He was bought over by Super Poker without hesitation.
His trouble in Hongzhou and coming to Taijiang to cause trouble for Yue Heng were all instructed by this organization.
The two snipers were also sent by Super Poker to assist Luo Hongbo.
"Those two are foreign mercenaries …"
Yang Jian said, "He died when he was sent to the hospital. The autopsy showed that he had taken toxic cyanide."
Now that the person was dead, the clues were cut off.
And the information that could be dug out from Luo Hongbo was very limited.
Super Poker's contact was located overseas, and every time he contacted him, he would change his account number. The money was also sent overseas, so it was extremely difficult to trace the source.
Even if they found out, it could be a fake account.
"Luo Hongbo instructed …"
Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "As long as he kills you, he will be rewarded with 5 million dollars!"
Five million Maia dollars?
Yue Heng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy.
His net worth is only five million dollars?
Wasn't he looking down on others too much?
In Shi Feng's previous life, someone had placed a bounty on Yue Heng's head, and the highest bounty was ten billion Credits.
According to the cost of living, the Credits circulating in the Galaxy Era compared to the current Maia dollars, ten billion Credits was equivalent to 20 to 30 billion Maia dollars!
Probably sensing Yue Heng's indifference, Yang Jian reminded him, "They failed the mission this time, so they might send someone to deal with you again. Don't be careless."
Yang Jian, of course, knew that Yue Heng was very strong.
Even in the entire Jiangnan Anomaly Authority, there was no Super more powerful than this teenager.
However, Supers were not invulnerable. For example, Liang Kun, who had a defensive Super, could still be killed by a sniper rifle.
The physique of many Supers was not much different from that of ordinary people.
There was only a thousand days of being a thief, but there was no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against thieves.
Being targeted by such a mysterious organization, Yue Heng was in a very dangerous situation!
Although Yue Heng was not afraid of Super Poker, he still nodded and said, "I will be careful."
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to send a few people to follow you?"
He actually wanted to say to protect, but when he thought of Yue Heng's strength, he felt that this word was not appropriate.
Yue Heng's heart skipped a beat. "Director Yang, I want to borrow someone."
Yue Heng did not need anyone to protect him, and it was inconvenient to have a few Supers around him.
But he thought of Man Li.
Man Li was now the CEO of Xing Hai Technologies. She was very beautiful, and her original backer had lost its power. It was too easy for her to become a target for the powerful.
And Yue Heng could not protect her all the time.
Originally, Yue Heng wanted to try to see if he could awaken Man Li and give her the ability to protect herself.
But he failed.
In this way, assigning a Supers bodyguard to her was the best choice.
Yue Heng had mentioned this to Man Li before, and now it was just the right time to mention it to Yang Jian.
After understanding Yue Heng's intentions, Yang Jian pondered for a moment and asked, "How long?"
For Yue Heng's sake, it was not a big problem to send a Supers to protect Man Li.
Yue Heng had made great contributions to the Administration!
But the Supers of the Administration were members of the system, and it was impossible for them to always be private bodyguards.
So there had to be a deadline.
Yue Heng thought for a moment and replied, "Is three years okay?"
In another one or two years, the astral world would be fully opened. At that time, he would be able to enter a certain astral world to look for the strange item that could forcefully awaken people.
If it really did not work, it would not be a problem to find another Supers bodyguard in three years.
"Okay."
Yang Jian nodded and said to a staff member next to him, "Let Dan Tong come to my office."
He then said to Yue Heng, "Let's go up and talk."
After leaving the detention prison, Yang Jian brought Yue Heng to the director's office.
After a moment, a young woman with a strong figure appeared at the door. "Director, you were looking for me?"
Her appearance was not beautiful, but she was full of heroic spirit and had a special demeanor.
She could give people a deep impression.
"Dan Tong."
Yang Jian said, "Let me introduce you, this is Yue Heng, Consultant Yue."
The young woman's eyes flashed, and she took the initiative to extend her hand to Yue Heng. "Hello, Consultant Yue, I've heard a lot about you!"
Could it be the "Tiger of Taijiang" chuunibyou?
Yue Heng secretly complained and shook hands with the other party. "Hello."
Yang Jian smiled. "Dan Tong is an elite of our bureau. She was born in the special forces, and her skills are first-class. If you want to take her away, you'll need two great merits!"
Two great merits?
Yue Heng sensed the Supers emitted by Dan Tong and had a rough estimate of the latter's strength.
"No problem."
