Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 604 - 218: Martial Saint Makes a Move, The Entire City Watches!_3

"Did you witness him committing the murder, or did you just see him make a move?"

"Do you have tangible evidence to prove he did it?"

"Even the Ancient Roman police haven't found evidence to arrest him, so how can you touch him?"

Four consecutive inquiries.

The Godfather once again plunged the room into silence.

This was also why the Godfather hadn't mentioned Zhang Beixing earlier.

Because Zhang Beixing's cleanup was too perfect.

So perfect that, even though everyone knew Zhang Beixing was behind it, there wasn't a single piece of evidence that could definitively implicate him.

Furthermore, the Golden Wind had also become involved.

The Godfather's face grew solemn as he recalled the phone call he had received not long ago.

Oh, the Golden Wind.

This was one of the largest gangs in Ancient Rome.

Even though it had declined, it was not to be underestimated.

With its involvement, the difficulty for their syndicate to handle the matter was now truly immense!

The more the Godfather thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

Especially when he saw this bunch before him, who after all this time couldn't produce a single useful idea—knowing only how to kill and sleep with women—his frustration reached its absolute peak.

The Godfather waved his hand. "Enough. If you have no ideas, then get lost and let me have some peace. During this time, all of you better behave. Without my orders, no one is to cause trouble for that Zhang Beixing. If I find anyone disobeying my orders, I'll personally throw them into the sea to feed the fish. Understood?"

"Understood!"

The Black Ghosts replied and then departed.

The once bustling room quickly grew quiet and deserted.

After everyone had left, the Godfather took a sip of Brandy, lit a cigarette, and sat in his chair, lost in thought.

Although all current signs indicated that Zhang Beixing was untouchable...

But...

His actions are a slap in the face to our syndicate. If I don't deal with this, how can our syndicate maintain its standing among the Ancient Roman Mafia?

This vendetta must be avenged!

***

While the Godfather of the syndicate pondered how to deal with Zhang Beixing, time flew by, passing in the blink of an eye.

「The next day, six in the morning.」

After waking punctually from his sleep, Zhang Beixing went outside. He first jogged for a while to warm up, then, incorporating the 'Postnatal Five Qi Cleansing Method', he practiced a round of the 'Heaven and Earth Natural Technique' to thoroughly limber up his body, incidentally earning 10 Ability Points.

He then went to a roadside breakfast shop, intending to get some breakfast and replenish his energy.

And then... well, there was no 'and then.'

Zhang Beixing went in but came right back out only moments later.

The reason was simple: he couldn't get used to Western breakfasts.

Too sweet! He went in, bought a croissant, and took a bite.

The darn thing tasted like he'd eaten a mouthful of pure frosting!

Thankfully, his body had already been enhanced and was far from ordinary. Otherwise, with his previous constitution, a single bite might have been enough to give him diabetes.

But if he wanted to buy something that wasn't sweet, it was ridiculously expensive—so expensive that Zhang Beixing felt he would be a complete sucker if he bought it.

Better go back and eat instant noodles, Zhang Beixing finally decided.

After his morning walk, he finally understood why so many people abroad, even those who weren't particularly wealthy, seemed to be in a competition to be overweight.

Eating such high-sugar, high-calorie foods every day... Anyone would get fat from that!

He returned to the hotel, boiled a kettle of water, and took out some instant noodles from his luggage to prepare.

While waiting for the water to boil, Zhang Beixing further refined his plans for his next moves in Ancient Rome.

Thanks to the intelligence gathered last night at the syndicate's bar, Zhang Beixing now knew the location of D&E's laboratory in Ancient Rome and the nature of its operations.

With this knowledge, a plan began to form in his mind.

So, after eating the instant noodles, he packed his things and headed downstairs.

At the hotel entrance, Zhang Beixing coincidentally ran into Dong Guoning, who was just returning from an outing.

Seeing Zhang Beixing fully equipped, Dong Guoning raised an eyebrow.

"Lao Zhang, where are you off to?"

"Going on a trip out of town," Zhang Beixing replied.

Dong Guoning asked, "So you won't be joining the tour later?"

Zhang Beixing nodded. "That depends on whether I get back late."

He had come to Ancient Rome under the guise of tourism primarily to investigate the criminal organization that had kidnapped their Great Xia Martial Artists and to rescue the three kidnapped Martial Artists.

Now that he had information on D&E's laboratory and had a plan, there was naturally no further need for sightseeing.

Of course, it would be best if he could return in time for some of it.

"Well... alright then." Dong Guoning hesitated for a moment before nodding in understanding. "Be careful."

"Mm," Zhang Beixing acknowledged. "You too. Ancient Rome probably won't be very peaceful for a while, but you don't need to worry. As long as you remain under the protection of those three powers, no one in Ancient Rome will dare to harm you. Just enjoy yourselves and don't worry about me."

"Okay. Um... should I see you off?" Dong Guoning asked.

Zhang Beixing shook his head. "No need. You carry on with your things. I'm leaving."

With that, Zhang Beixing slung his bag over his shoulder and departed without a backward glance.

Shortly after he left—

THUMP THUMP THUMP—

Rapid footsteps echoed from the stairwell.
