Nightmare Apostle

Together, a few of them could hammer the Master of Bone Pavilion into a pig’s head.

Even if the Master of Bone Pavilion brought the original thirteen protectors to their Jiangbei Province Office, they wouldn’t be intimidated; they could seize everything in one sweep.

This made Yang Xiao even more determined to continue blending in at the Patrol Defense Office, as this place was full of hidden talents and experts, a perfect place for him to showcase his skills.

"By the way, Director Hong, how did you know I was ambushed?" Yang Xiao suddenly asked.

This question had troubled him for a long time. He wanted to ask as soon as Director Hong and the suited expert appeared, but at that time the formidable Frost Evil Woman was still present, so it wasn’t convenient to ask.

"You have to thank that person. It was he who sensed the movements of the Frost Evil Woman and reported to me, which is why the two of us rushed over,"

Hong Anguo exhaled deeply, with lingering fears, said: "Luckily, Younger Brother Yang’s methods were extraordinary, persisting until we arrived, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Yang Xiao clasped his fist in thanks: "All thanks to Brother Hong’s excellent command. If you hadn’t arrived swiftly, I fear I wouldn’t have had another chance to meet you."

"Hahaha, there’s no need for formalities between us. This time Younger Brother Yang went to the Huai Shuo Province Office on a mission, right?" Hong Anguo suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.

Yang Xiao just smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, which was as good as an answer to a smart person.

Actually, Hong Anguo had speculated early on, but wasn’t certain, and now seeing Yang Xiao’s expression, he had guessed about seventy to eighty percent of it, and couldn’t help but say: "Younger Brother Yang, if you have the opportunity there, don’t forget about your older brother."

"Brother Hong treats me like his own younger brother; I, Yang Xiao, will never forget the kindness you’ve shown me," Yang Xiao resolutely promised.

"Good, good!" A glint appeared in Hong Anguo’s eyes, knowing that the trip wasn’t in vain.

Actually, sending that expert alone would’ve been enough, but Hong Anguo insisted on both going, to confirm some matters in person, and also to let Yang Xiao owe him a favor.

Jiangbei Province Office, located inland, has a relatively good security environment, making it difficult to achieve great feats usually. Assisting in reclaiming Yiling Academy is a strategic goal at the headquarters level, a perfect opportunity for him; he didn’t want to miss it.

Before long, that suited expert returned, dragging a sack behind him.

Two feet were sticking out of the sack, tied together with hemp rope, held by the other end by the suited expert, who dragged the person back this way.

The bloodstains seeping through the sack indicated the person was dead, confirming that a Netherworld Envoy had perished effortlessly, which Yang Xiao hadn’t expected.

He initially thought it would take an evenly matched battle to determine the outcome.

The Frost Evil Woman toyed with him like a three-year-old child, yet the suited expert killed her with three strikes, revealing a huge disparity in power.

Witnessing this scene, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel admiration for this guardian of the Provincial Bureau, hidden in the shadows.

Noticing Yang Xiao’s desire to thank this expert in person, Hong Anguo made an opportunity for him, greeting: "Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Yang from my Jiangbei Province Office, he’s..."

But an awkward moment occurred as the expert, Mr. Chen, didn’t respond, merely nodding slightly at Hong Anguo as acknowledgment, while not even glancing at the bowing Yang Xiao, and walked straight past.

This left even Hong Anguo feeling a bit awkward, he smiled wryly and explained to Yang Xiao not to mind, as the person had a nature like that.

"Little Yang, you and this Mr. Chen actually share some fate, do you know what department he belongs to?" Hong Anguo asked.

"Could it be he serves under Chief Commissioner Gu?" Yang Xiao guessed tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Hong Anguo nodded, "You’re right, he serves in the second brigade under Chief Commissioner Gu. Don’t worry, there will be opportunities for you two to meet in the future."

Currently, Mr. Chen had already walked away, and one could barely see the vehicle parked in the distance in the dim light, presumably the one Director Hong arrived in, and Mr. Chen tossed the sack-covered corpse into the trunk.

Then he waved to signal Hong Anguo to come over, presumably to head back.

"Little Yang, you don’t need to worry about this place, you drive off, I’ll handle the scene. We’ve already had this section of road sealed off when we came," Hong Anguo said.

Yang Xiao looked back at the desolate, silent road and realized that the road had been blocked off when he wondered why no vehicles were seen.

"Brother Hong, these two brothers died because of me, I hope they receive generous compensation; whatever the higher-ups give, you approve it as usual, and I’ll add my share," Yang Xiao said, looking towards the direction of the two corpses.

"I understand, the mission is important, you go first, don’t delay." Hong Anguo patted Yang Xiao’s shoulder.

After bidding farewell to Hong Anguo, Yang Xiao bowed towards the distant vehicle, as a gesture of gratitude for the life-saving favor from Mr. Chen.

Even though the other party didn’t quite warm up to him, Yang Xiao felt obliged to acknowledge the favor since Mr. Chen had saved him.

Without further hesitation, he still had a mission assigned by the headquarters to complete, so he got into that car and continued on his journey, this time all alone.

Before he could report to Miss Gu about the situation, her message came first, informing him that the mission remained unchanged; he was to continue with it and someone would meet him at Huai Shuo Province.

Yang Xiao originally intended to report some information leak issues, but the other party seemed uninterested in hearing it, likely due to arrangements at higher levels, making it unnecessary for him to worry.
