God Territory, Blood Sickle Shelter, Death's Scythe headquarters.
In the meeting room, Zang Tian and the few Blood Sickle members did not look too good.
Sitting across the table from Zang Tian was a red-haired man with a red beard.
His feet were propped up on the table, and his upper body was almost lying on the chair. He was puffing smoke out of his mouth, and his tone sounded rather nonchalant.
"I'll give you a little more time to consider whether you want to ask Lin Huang out or not. However, I suggest that you decide quickly because my partner isn't as easy to talk to as I am. "
"Seniors, ever since Lin Huang entered a Heavenly God's arcane territory as Xiu Mu more than two years ago, he hasn't been seen since. If you hadn't brought it up this time, we'd have thought that he was long dead, "one of the Blood Sickle members said helplessly.
The red-haired man puffed out a mouthful of smoke, then his gaze fell on Zang Tian. "Mr. Zang Tian, I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Lin Huang, and that you've taken good care of him in the past. Has he not contacted you since? "
"No." Zang Tian replied expressionlessly, "I took good care of him before because he was indeed talented and had amazing potential. I thought he was a good seedling, and I wanted to train him. As for after he went missing, I've tried to contact him, but it was to no avail, so I gave up.
"Moreover, I've been busy preparing for unification for the past two years. I don't have the extra attention to spare on someone who's probably dead. "
Zang Tian's answer was flawless, but the other party clearly did not believe him.
The red-haired man flicked the ash off his cigarette and glanced at Zang Tian. His tone was still nonchalant.
"To be honest, I'm a lazy person. I hope to solve all the problems I encounter in the simplest and most direct way. I'm not good at detecting whether someone is lying or not. However, there are people among my partners who are good at this. I hope that when they arrive, your words will still be the same as what you're saying now. Otherwise, the consequences might be dire.
"Alright, that's all for my questioning." The red-haired man glanced at the cigarette that had been burnt to the end and pressed it into the ashtray. Then, he took out another cigarette and lit it up. He then said to Zang Tian and the others in a muffled voice, "Do you mind if I borrow your conference room for a day?"
"I don't mind. Please feel free to use them, seniors," one of the Blood Sickle members said immediately.
Zang Tian and the others got up and were about to leave when they heard the red-haired man's voice.
"By the way, when our companions come over later, you can just bring them here."
Following the departure of Zang Tian and the others, only the red-haired man and the two men who had been sitting on either side of him were left in the conference room.
The man on the left was skinny and bony, like a mummy. "That Zang Tian guy is obviously dishonest. Why don't you just capture him and force him to contact Lin Huang?"
"If we read his memory directly, we might get something." The tall and skinny man on the right, who was almost three meters tall, nodded in agreement.
"Do you two really think that we can do whatever we want in this great world just because we've passed Royal's investigation request?" The red-haired man glanced at the two men beside him indifferently. "This is Royal's affiliated territory. Everything we do is under Royal's surveillance at all times.
"Also, generally speaking, the top organizations in the affiliated territories of galactic organizations are protected by the galactic organizations. According to the ranking of organizations in this great world, Death's Scythe belongs to the top grade-7 organization. It's under Royal's protection.
"If we want to make a move against Death's Scythe, we need a good reason. Otherwise, there's a high chance that Royal will intervene. "
After the red-haired man finished speaking, he took another deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled slowly. "It's not worth it to have a conflict with Royal over such a small matter."
"So what do we do now?" The mummy man asked again.
"Wait for someone," the red-haired man said simply.
…
When Zang Tian and the others walked out of the conference room, their expressions were grim.
Although there were only three people visiting from the galactic world this time, they were three Lords.
Zang Tian could not sense the combat level of the red-haired man in the lead. However, he could clearly sense that the other two, who did not speak much, were intermediate Lords.
He could vaguely sense a lethal threat from these two lackeys.
As for the red-haired man, he could only guess that he might be a higher Lord.
Most importantly, these three were not the only ones who had descended into this great world.
They watched as the Combat God Temple, God Capital, and the other veteran grade-7 organizations hung up Lin Huang's wanted posters under the other party's coercion.
Death's Scythe had no choice but to hang up a mission related to Lin Huang.
The red-haired man had made it very clear that if they did not disassociate themselves from Lin Huang now, he could consider Death's Scythe as an accomplice of Lin Huang, who had killed his comrade.
If they could not find Lin Huang, the three of them could only slaughter Death's Scythe to avenge their comrade.
No matter how close he was to Lin Huang, there was no way Zang Tian would give up on all the members of Death's Scythe just to protect Lin Huang.
Moreover, they were only issuing a wanted mission, not asking them to attack Lin Huang.
This was a compromise made out of expediency.
Zang Tian believed that if Lin Huang saw this, he would be able to understand their current predicament.
"What should we do now?" Blood Scythe Gao Ming frowned and asked Zang Tian through voice transmission.
Zang Tian fell silent when he heard this question.
He did not know what else he could do. He could only try his best to keep Lin Huang's hiding place a secret.
He did not know that the Devil Hunter Star Zone where Lin Huang was hiding had long been destroyed.
"I don't think the red-haired guy was lying. His comrade might be even more dangerous. Once his comrade comes to our headquarters, we might encounter more trouble. "Xue Wuya expressed his concern when he saw that Zang Tian did not speak.
"You mean, we should betray Lin Huang for Death's Scythe?" Zang Tian glanced at Xue Wuya.
He had always respected this senior who had participated in the founding of Death's Scythe, but at that moment, he only felt that he was being selfish.
"Zang Tian, Senior Wuya definitely doesn't mean that." Nine-Tailed Hu Xian 'er quickly tried to smooth things over. "I also think that we should at least come up with a plan."
"No matter what plan we come up with, we have no chance of winning once we fight." Zang Tian shook his head helplessly.
As a Lord, he could feel the difference in ability between him and the other three.
"What about working with the Combat God Temple and the other organizations? Can't we do that? "Hu Xian 'er asked immediately.
"Why do you think the Combat God Temple and God Capital made an exception and announced Lin Huang's bounty? They even announced the authority to accept this mission to the public. They haven't announced the authority to accept missions to the public for a few eras, "Zang Tian retorted.
"Because … they're threatened by these people from outside the galaxy?" Hu Xian 'er asked uncertainly.
"I'll put it this way. That red-haired guy in the meeting room can easily destroy all the grade-7 organizations in the entire God Territory by himself," Zang Tian's words stunned the Blood Scythe members. They did not know what to say for a while.
Just when the atmosphere was at its freezing point, Zang Tian's communication ring vibrated all of a sudden …
