Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 597 Intelligence Agency

At first glance, it just feels somewhat familiar.

Bai Junjun silently mouthed "Shopkeeper Yan" towards Li Wenli, who also nodded in silence.

"I hear it was you who proposed coming to the Imperial Capital," the old man continued to ask.

"Yes," Zhao Xiaomiao answered earnestly.

"Why come to the Imperial Capital?"

"Since it’s Nirvana Rebirth, I want to start from the most difficult place. Only in this way can the value and meaning of my survival be highlighted."

Zhao Xiaomiao’s reply was calm and steady.

The Caped Old Man did not respond for a long while, apparently in deep thought.

Zhao Xiaomiao went on, "I have nothing left. Now, my only belief is to become stronger! Only the powerful can do as they please in this world."

Finally, the old man replied with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Well said. This world has always been about the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. To survive, one must constantly climb higher. Whether it is the pinnacle of martial arts or the powers of the world, isn’t it better the higher you go?"

After lamenting a few maxims of the world’s natural laws, the Caped Old Man looked at Zhao Xiaomiao again, "During this period, you have passed the assessment and performed outstandingly. Today, you have been summoned here to officially join us. Congratulations on becoming a member of Thousand Miles."

Zhao Xiaomiao showed delight on her face and gave a salute with her hands to the Caped Old Man, bowing again, "Thank you, Chief."

"From today onward, you officially become the Second Manager of Dongsheng Tavern, assisting the Shopkeeper in maintaining the Thousand Miles intelligence network in the Imperial Capital."

"Yes, Xiao Miao will not fail in her mission."

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli heard this and couldn’t help being greatly surprised. So Dongsheng Tavern is also an intelligence organization?

Hadn’t Ah Fu and Ah Gui mentioned that all Dongsheng Taverns across the land are owned by Shopkeeper Yan? Does this mean that Shopkeeper Yan is the head of this intelligence organization?

But considering the demeanor of the Caped Old Man, it seems he is not on the same path as Shopkeeper Yan.

The presence of the Caped Old Man is powerful, and his breathing is light yet prolonged, indicating he is a master of internal martial arts.

Even though they are outside the stone wall, they still dare not make any rash move, afraid that the old man might detect them. Their caution is a testament to the mysterious person’s strength. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Such a person could not possibly be under the control of Shopkeeper Yan.

Their minds raced through countless possibilities, but in the end, they concluded that Shopkeeper Yan could not be the head of the intelligence organization.

The most likely truth is that Shopkeeper Yan is in collaboration with the old man.

Dongsheng Tavern willingly provided cover for Thousand Miles, acting as their storefront, while the real operation, hidden deep in the mountains, is Thousand Miles.

It’s no wonder that Shopkeeper Yan had divulged to them that a war was imminent in the Eastern Land, advising them to leave quickly if they planned to do so.

Previously, they even thought that Shopkeeper Yan was in cahoots with the Ninth Prince.

Now it seems that it is not the case; Shopkeeper Yan’s trade is in selling information, which is why she knew so much.

Of course, if this intelligence organization were independent, that would be one thing, but if it belongs to the power of one of the princes, then the messy situation would become even more intriguing.

As Bai Junjun’s mind raced, the Chief of Thousand Miles handed Zhao Xiaomiao a pill, which she swallowed without suspicion. The Caped Old Man chuckled happily at that.

His voice, both low and eerie, echoed in the empty mountain hollow for a long time.

After a while, the people inside the room left.

The two glanced at the still-operating machinery and, after much thought, decided to retreat for now.

After all, the commotion they had caused today was too great. If the intelligence organization were to discover that their lair had been visited, the first to be suspected would certainly be those who had gone up the mountain.

The family of the Minister of Rites might be alright, given that their motives are minor, but those who have most recently entered the city would definitely suffer.
