Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 46: Who Says There Is No Retribution; A Single Thought Knows No Borders (Part 2)

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Who Says There Is No Retribution; A Single Thought Knows No Borders (Part 2)

Looking at the phone that had just automatically locked its screen, the private room fell into a brief silence.

"Did you hear that clearly? Did Mr. Yi just say he killed five Super Warriors who’d infiltrated the country?"

Zhou Baiwei turned to Meng Qianyuan beside her for confirmation.

"Unless I was hearing things, then yes, that’s what he said."

Meng Qianyuan nodded, a thoroughly bewildered expression on his face.

Yi Beidou had only said he was taking a casual stroll around the city. Who could have thought that in such a short amount of time, he would stir up such a huge commotion!

A full five Super Warriors, possessing Saintly Bodies, who had snuck into the country!

This was an infiltration incident big enough to rock the Special Security Bureau, an event that could even reach the highest levels of government!

’That man truly lives up to his reputation!’

Just the thought of it made Meng Qianyuan’s heart race with excitement.

CLICK!

With an incredibly grave expression, Zhou Baiwei immediately pulled out her satellite phone and dialed the emergency contact number for headquarters.

"This is Zhou Baiwei. There is an emergency in Spring City, Yunhai Province. Please dispatch local armed forces to the Yunding Grand Hotel to provide support. I will proceed to the scene at once..."

After making her urgent report to the Special Security Bureau Headquarters, Zhou Baiwei didn’t even bother to wipe her mouth. She and Meng Qianyuan stood up together, headed to the parking garage, and drove off, racing to the scene at top speed.

Yunding Grand Hotel, Banquet Hall.

Yi Beidou hung up and handed the phone back to Yang Tianhe.

"Just who are you...?"

Yang Tianhe took a deep breath. From the tone Yi Beidou had used on the call, he knew this man’s identity was anything but simple.

"It seems one of your men isn’t very clean."

Yi Beidou’s sudden words made Yang Tianhe’s heart skip a beat.

Yi Beidou’s gaze had already shifted, landing on a spot somewhere in the crowd.

There, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was using the crowd for cover, rapidly tapping on his phone as if covertly sending some kind of message.

This man was the head of the logistics department at the Yunding Grand Hotel. Naturally, he had to be present for such an important banquet.

It had to be said, the man was remarkably calm. Seeing the five Super Warriors exposed and killed, he hadn’t tried to flee. He knew very well that running would only attract suspicion, and there was no escaping the inescapable dragnet of the Yang Family and Donghua.

Instead, if he stayed here and secretly sent a message to pass on intelligence, others in his organization could use this window of opportunity to destroy evidence and quickly move assets. He might even get away unscathed and evade the investigation.

After all, Shen Song and the other four all had perfectly forged legal identities. Checking into the Yunding Grand Hotel under those identities was a perfectly normal and legitimate matter that couldn’t be traced back to him.

But how could he possibly escape Yi Beidou’s Dharma Eye?

Once the immense source of malice from Shen Song and the other four was eliminated, the lesser malice within the crowd was naturally laid bare.

SWOOSH!

Yi Beidou moved. Amid the crowd’s gasps, he shot into their midst. Wherever he went, it was as if an Invisible Force Field parted the dense throng of people. The middle-aged man at the back was instantly exposed to everyone’s view.

His expression could no longer remain calm. He tried to make a move, but he was merely an ordinary person. In front of Yi Beidou, how was he any different from a helpless chicken?

Yi Beidou’s hand clamped around the man’s neck, pressing on a vital point that made him lose all bodily control. Then, he flung the man out in front of the crowd.

Yang Tianhe’s expression changed the instant he saw the middle-aged man.

He recognized him as an executive from one of his own companies.

’So it’s true. One of my own men was the reason those five Super Warriors were here.’

"Quick! Seal off the banquet hall—no! Seal off the entire hotel! Don’t let anyone leave!"

Yang Tianhe reacted instantly, shouting orders to his men without a second thought. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you a proper explanation."

Having done all this, Yang Tianhe came back and spoke sincerely to Yi Beidou.

"I’m afraid this matter won’t be as easy for you to resolve as you think," Yi Beidou said faintly.

「A short while later.」

WEE-WOO!!

The piercing wail of dense sirens echoed from outside the hotel.

And it wasn’t just sirens.

WHIR! WHIR! WHIR!

The dull roar of engines rumbled from outside.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Dark figures descended from the sky on ropes, shattering the windows to enter the banquet hall.

They were Warriors, armed to the teeth and carrying firearms.

The team captain in the lead took in the chaotic scene inside the banquet hall, his expression turning grave.

"Everyone here, regardless of your identity, do not make any sudden moves! Stay where you are, do not leave the banquet hall, and wait for screening!"

The team captain shouted as the Warriors raised their guns and surrounded the crowd.

The team captain scanned the crowd, and his gaze locked onto Yi Beidou.

He quickly jogged over, gave Yi Beidou a salute, and said loudly, "Hello, Advisor Yi. I’m Yu Xinlei, captain of the Cloud Wing Team. Assistant Zhou and Minister Duanmu are on their way. We came ahead to stabilize the situation. Do you have any instructions for us?"

"Just follow your standard procedures," Yi Beidou said with a wave of his hand.

「Elsewhere.」

In Spring City, the driver of a van suddenly received a message, and his expression changed dramatically.

He immediately pulled over, removed his phone’s SIM card, replaced it with a new one, and dialed a number.

「A short time later, on the other side of the ocean.」

「In a secret laboratory.」

"Dr. Beretta, a message has arrived from Donghua. The hunting operation has failed."

A report was handed to a tall man whose ethnicity was difficult to discern.

"Oh? The plan should have just gotten underway."

A hint of surprise flickered in Beretta’s eyes as he took the report and began to look it over.

"They hadn’t even made a move, yet the target found them first? So even *his* Talisman Treasure couldn’t block this person’s Mind Sensing? He just achieved Ascension, and he can already kill five test subjects all by himself?"

"I’m finding myself more and more interested in this man’s brain."

Upon hearing this news, Beretta showed no signs of anger or rage. Instead, a slight smile touched his lips.

He hoped this world of mortals would become a little more interesting.

Only then would it provide him with sufficient samples.

「Sometime later, at the Yunding Grand Hotel.」

Zhou Baiwei, Meng Qianyuan, and a well-built, middle-aged man approached Yi Beidou, who had since changed his clothes.

"Our preliminary investigation has confirmed that the five Super Warriors were members of the Pioneer Group. Their objective was to hunt you, Mr. Yi, and capture you to be taken abroad."

"In addition to those five, we’ve followed the leads and managed to track down some of the Pioneer Group’s forces hidden within Yunhai Province. If we dig deeper, we should be able to uncover quite a bit more."

"If you hadn’t seen through their plot in time, Mr. Yi, there’s no telling what kind of mess this would have turned into."

Duanmu Qing, the head of the Special Security Bureau’s Yunhai Province branch, said to Yi Beidou, his eyes still filled with profound disbelief.

According to their investigation, the enemy had been in the country for less than twenty-four hours and hadn’t even fully begun their operation. Yet, Yi Beidou had somehow located their hiding spot and single-handedly killed five Super Warriors. If word of this got out, it would cause an unbelievable stir.

"I doubt their operations are limited to just within the country, are they? I’ve only been in Yunhai Province for a day or two, yet the Pioneer Group managed to track me down and assemble five Super Warriors. They must have a significant presence in the Nanyang region, not far from Donghua."

Yi Beidou seemed to sense something as he gazed to the south.

"That’s correct. The Pioneer Group has secret strongholds in Nanyang, but they are very well hidden. We still don’t know the location of their headquarters," Zhou Baiwei affirmed with a nod.

"Alright. In that case, I’ll leave things here to you. I’m taking off," Yi Beidou said, rising to his feet.

"Where are you going, Mr. Yi?"

Seeing this, they all asked, their expressions full of surprise.

"I’m taking a trip to Nanyang. As the saying goes, it’s rude not to return a favor. They’ve already sent people into the country with the intent to harm me. If I don’t respond in kind, won’t that make me look weak and easy to bully?"

Yi Beidou’s tone was as casual as if he were just popping out to the supermarket for groceries.

It was as if the whole wide world, and the borders between nations, were nothing to him.

Hearing this, Zhou Baiwei and the other two were stunned into silence.

The logic seemed flawless, yet they couldn’t help but feel that something was fundamentally wrong with it.
