Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 784 - 192. Jiang Cheng: Join me in exterminating this evil organization!

Chapter 784: 192. Jiang Cheng: Join me in exterminating this evil organization!

At this moment, the Rejuvenation Society was also a bit dumbfounded.

Everything just happened too fast, so fast that they didn’t even have time to react before everything was already settled.

So, although they wanted to make amends, it was simply too late.

As a result, those who originally wanted to evade official organizations were now forced to confront them face to face, making the saints rather frustrated.

Although the Rejuvenation Society is an illegal organization, there are different danger levels among illegal organizations. An illegal organization committing minor crimes and one that targets official personnel are seen very differently by the federation. An illegal organization that secretly kills a few officials is even less significant compared to one that openly kills thousands.

Especially considering there are obviously a few high-ranking officials in this squad. If they were to be wiped out, it could alert the entire Eastern Administrative Region, leading to a thorough investigation.

So, although the three saints held a superiority in strength, they did not dare to act rashly.

Thus, the atmosphere was locked in a stalemate.

Time ticked away, and eventually, it was Jing Tai who spoke up, being in a hurry to deal with the Devil Sect. He looked over at the Rejuvenation Society and asked, “Who are you? What organization do you belong to? Why did you attack us?”

As he spoke, his hand discreetly made a few gestures behind his back. The Federal Defense Team officer caught the signals and quietly blended into the crowd, instructing members at the rear to try and surround this mysterious force, preparing for combat if necessary to gain an advantage.

Upon hearing Jing Tai’s query, the three saints of the Rejuvenation Society exchanged glances. The Big Head Saint wanted to speak, but before he could, the Silver-Haired Saint interrupted and began to speak in her ancient voice, “Officer, if I were to say that the earlier attack wasn’t carried out by us, would you believe me?”

Hearing the Silver-Haired Saint’s words, Jing Tai furrowed his brow slightly. To be honest, he did believe her.

The simple reason being that this mysterious force had such an exceptional hiding ability that Jing Tai and his team had passed by without noticing them. If the earlier attack had been launched by this mysterious force, then they could have easily attacked when Jing Tai and his team were nearby, making it more unexpected.

Moreover, after the attack, this mysterious organization did not take advantage of the chaos to pursue further but waited until Jing Tai’s side had regained composure before negotiating, which did not align with the purpose of an assault.

Additionally, Jing Tai’s team’s reconnaissance ability was not weak, being a combination of the Security Bureau and the Federal Defense Team, with reconnaissance members all in the Fusion level, yet they couldn’t detect this mysterious organization. This indicated that there were experts of higher than Fusion level within this mysterious organization.

Combining the clues that rarely did Spirit Ascension level people engage directly and that the leaders of this mysterious organization had physical forms, it became apparent that the leaders were of the Yang Transformation level!

Such strength was more than enough to annihilate Jing Tai’s team, making idle chatter unnecessary.

Therefore, Jing Tai truly believed the Silver-Haired Saint.

However… Although he believed that the earlier attack was likely not from the opposing side, he couldn’t just let them go.

He was representing the official side on this trip. Encountering a mysterious organization and an attack without investigating would surely lead to impeachment or even resignation upon returning.

Thinking of this, Jing Tai felt caught in a dilemma.

But time was running out; the ordinary members of that mysterious organization were already showing signs of impatience, and he still had to deal with the Devil Sect tonight. There was no room for delay. His mind raced, seeking a solution.

Soon enough, he did come up with a makeshift plan.

Thinking this, he coughed lightly and asked in a deep voice, “You say it wasn’t you who attacked, then who was it?”

Hearing his words, the Rejuvenation Society members grew more impatient: They were lawless and dangerous individuals, with no respect for the federal authorities. Now, with a superior force, and faced with continuous questioning by the federal officer, they were on the verge of acting out if not for the restraint imposed by the saints.

It was then that the Silver-Haired Saint managed to quell the restive crowd, replying in her ancient voice, “Officer, we couldn’t clearly see the assailant either. But we believe the attacker hasn’t gone far.”

Hearing this, Jing Tai followed his plan and said, “I cannot verify your words, so I cannot believe them. But…”

He paused and then continued, “I am willing to give you a chance.”

“I order you not to leave this place, to investigate the attack on the spot. Regardless of the outcome, you must report to me in Emerald City tomorrow.”

“If you can’t find the perpetrator within the night, then the official side will take over and thoroughly investigate this matter!”

Upon saying this, Jing Tai turned to a member of the Federal Defense Team behind him and said, “You, register their organization’s name, the leaders’ names, and their headquarters.”

Hearing this, the Federal Defense Team member promptly saluted, “Yes, Officer!”

After which, the member strode over and began asking for the Silver-Haired Saint’s details.
