Zuo Yi knew that the person who came to the Supernatural Administrative Bureau to look for him was definitely not an ordinary person, but he was not afraid.
Following Wu Yongjian, Zuo Yi met several guests from Beijing in the VIP reception room.
"This is Zuo Yi, the special consultant of the Jiangnan Supernatural Administrative Bureau …"
Wu Yongjian first introduced Zuo Yi to the visitors. Then he introduced the other party to Zuo Yi. "Left Counsellor, this is Xu Yanghua, the director of the External Affairs Department of the Xia Super Alliance. This is Kou Hai, the chairman of the Xia Super Alliance's Jiangnan Sub-Commission. And this is Xia Xun, the special representative of our Super Administrative Bureau."
Among the three of them, Xu Yanghua was in his forties. He was wearing a white collared shirt, black trousers, and a pair of gray cloth shoes. He was thin and had a sharp look in his eyes.
He was playing with a pair of shiny steel balls in his left hand. He had a half-smile on his face as he sized up Zuo Yi with interest.
Kou Hai looked much younger than Xu Yanghua. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a dignified bearing and a dignified demeanor.
When he looked at Zuo Yi, there was a hint of caution and seriousness in his eyes.
As for the special representative of the Super Administrative Bureau, Xia Xun, he was a big fat man. When he smiled, he looked like the Maitreya Buddha.
Xia Xun was the most enthusiastic about Zuo Yi. As soon as Wu Yongjian finished speaking, he immediately extended his chubby hand to Zuo Yi. "Hello, Left Counsellor. I've heard a lot about you!"
"Hello, Deputy Xia."
Zuo Yi shook hands with him and found that the skin on his palm was extremely rough. It was almost as if he was holding a rock.
Wu Yongjian said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Everyone sat down on the sofa in the reception room. Wu Yongjian and Zuo Yi sat in a row with Xu Yanghua and Kou Hai across from them.
Meanwhile, Xia Xun leaned against a single sofa chair on the right.
"Left Counsellor …"
The fat representative was the first to speak. "Today, I am representing the Super Administrative Bureau to accompany two colleagues from the Xia Super Alliance. I would like to ask you about the Silk Weaver incident that happened two days ago in Sanjiao Town. I hope you can provide us with some help."
Zuo Yi said, "Everything is in the report. What else do you want to ask?"
The incident report was written by Zhong Ming, and Zuo Yi provided the information regarding the Silk Weaver. It was already very detailed.
"Cough, cough."
Kou Hai coughed twice and stared at Zuo Yi with bright eyes. "We've already read the report. What we want to know now is, after you killed the Silk Weaver, did you take away its Extraordinary Source?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi replied: "The Silk Weaver's Supernatural Source is in my hands"
The Origin of Transcendent was what the Blue Star World called it. The Transcendent Core of the Demonic Beasts in the Sadeya World was called the Magic Crystal.
Kou Hai and Xu Yanghua looked at each other. They probably didn't expect Zuo Yi to admit it so quickly.
What they didn't know was that the most abundant thing in Zuo Yi's Space Ring was the Magic Crystal. The Silk Weaver's Supernatural Source wasn't even on the list. Why wouldn't he admit it?
Kou Hai put on a fake smile and said, "Left Counsellor, isn't it against the rules for you to keep the Extraordinary Source?"
"Against the rules?"
Zuo Yi laughed involuntarily. "The agreement I signed with the Super Administrative Bureau has a clause regarding the disposal of spoils of war. Based on my contribution to the Silk Weaver incident, it's not against the rules for me to only take the Extraordinary Source."
The Super Administrative Bureau's Special Counsellor was actually equivalent to a mercenary. They didn't have a basic salary or fixed benefits. They earned merit points and rewards by completing missions. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward.
There was also a clause regarding spoils of war. Zuo Yi's contribution to the Silk Weaver incident was at least 90%. Taking only one Extraordinary Source was definitely a good thing.
Wu Yongjian immediately said, "There's nothing wrong with the Left Counsellor's actions. Chairman Kou, please watch your words!"
This A-level bigshot supported Zuo Yi and immediately suppressed Kou Hai's rising momentum.
Xu Yanghua suddenly straightened his back and said, "Chief Wu, the Silk Weaver is the property of the Xia Chaolian. It belongs to the Xia Chaolian Laboratory. Of course, that includes the Extraordinary Source of the Silk Weaver!"
As expected!
Zuo Yi wasn't surprised at all because Renata had already said something similar.
The truth of the matter couldn't be clearer. The Silk Weaver had escaped from the Xia Chaolian Laboratory and dug a hole in Trinity Reef Town to reproduce. Renata and the others had heard the news and rushed over to capture it, but they were killed by Zuo Yi first.
Now, the Xia Chaolian Laboratory's people were here to denounce him and take back the Extraordinary Source.
"What a joke!"
Wu Yongjian slapped the armrest of the sofa and retorted, "Xu Yanghua, your laboratory didn't take good care of the experimental subject and let it escape. It almost killed so many people. If it wasn't for the Left Counsellor, do you know how serious the consequences would have been?"
Kou Hai said expressionlessly, "I sent people over as soon as I heard the news. Without your Left Counsellor, we can still solve the problem."
Wu Yongjian said coldly, "Kou Hai, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but let alone your subordinates, even if you went over yourself, you wouldn't be able to deal with this evolved Silk Weaver!"
The Jiangnan Chaolian Administration had its own laboratory. After the support team transported the Silk Weaver's corpse back, the professionals in the laboratory conducted a detailed analysis of it.
The conclusion was quite shocking. The Great Silk Weaver had actually reached the standard of a B-level supernatural creature!
Moreover, the signs of its recent evolution were very obvious.
In addition, the Great Silk Weaver had dozens of underlings and was fighting in its own territory. Wu Yongjian didn't think that Kou Hai, who was also a B-level, could deal with it.
This was the fundamental reason why Wu Yongjian had decided to give Zuo Yi A-level treatment!
As the saying goes, hit someone but not the face. Wu Yongjian's slap landed on Kou Hai's face. Even with the latter's shrewdness, he couldn't help but feel a burning pain. His face turned red.
"That's enough."
Xia Xun tried to smooth things over. "Everyone, don't quarrel. We're all brothers. There's no need to hurt our friendship over this matter."
Xu Yanghua looked deeply at Wu Yongjian and said to Zuo Yi, "Left Counsellor, we must take back the Silk Weaver's Extraordinary Source. Name a price."
He didn't expect Wu Yongjian to be so supportive of Zuo Yi. He had originally planned to use his power to suppress him, but now he had to make some concessions.
"Sorry."
What surprised Xu Yanghua even more was that Zuo Yi actually refused. "Not for sale."
Xu Yanghua was stunned.
The director of the Xia Chaolian Administration's face sank. "Left Counsellor, have you thought it through?"
"I'm very clear."
Zuo Yi didn't seem to hear the threat in the other's voice. He said calmly, "I used the Silk Weaver's Extraordinary Source to make a ring called the Silk Weaver Ring. I've already given it to my daughter."
He smiled. "She likes it very much."
Xu Yanghua stared at him and didn't say anything else. However, the temperature in the reception room instantly dropped.
Kou Hai glared fiercely at Xia Xun.
The fatty wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Left Counsellor, the Xia Chaolian Administration is our brother unit. I hope you can consider the big picture. Don't …"
"The big picture?"
Zuo Yi interrupted. "Whose big picture? Why should I consider it? Representative Xia, you're the representative of the Xia Chaolian Administration, right? Where is your butt sitting? "
Consider the big picture? Ridiculous. This fatty's butt is so crooked!
Xia Xun was speechless. He looked at Wu Yongjian with a bitter smile.
Wu Yongjian turned his face and showed the back of his head to Xia Xun.
Xu Yanghua took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is it worth it?"
The temperature in the room dropped again. Snowflakes began to fall around them. The chill was bone-chilling.
"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me."
Zuo Yi replied, "If you're not convinced, then come and try!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly rose. It instantly changed from the coldest days to the hottest days of summer. It made people feel like they were in a furnace. It was so hot that their mouths and tongues were dry.
Xu Yanghua and Kou Hai's expressions changed at the same time.
Before coming to the Xia Chaolian Administration, the two of them had already overestimated Zuo Yi's strength. Now, they realized that they had greatly underestimated him.
Xu Yanghua and Zuo Yi had just exchanged blows. The result of their probing was not good.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Xu Yanghua suddenly stood up and left the VIP reception room without looking back.
Kou Hai hesitated for a moment and left without saying a word.
Wu Yongjian sneered and looked at the embarrassed Xia Xun. "Representative Xia, the weather is dry. I won't keep you for dinner. Help yourself."
"Then I'll take my leave too."
Fatty's butt jumped up as if it was loaded with springs, and he fled in a fluster.
Wu Yongjian watched him escape and said to Zuo Yi, "Fatty Xia is actually not a bad person."
Zuo Yi nodded and suddenly asked, "Officer Wu, can you tell me more about this Xia Chaolian?"
Wu Yongjian was stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "No problem!"
He made the right bet!
