“Hello, Commissioner He. I’m Zhao Wenke, the staff officer of Chifeng Stronghold.”

A moment later, Zhao Wenke saw He Xin in the command tent and immediately extended his hand to introduce himself. He Xin held his hands behind his back and said, “Mm.” His attitude was arrogant and his expression was cold. However, in the blink of an eye, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man standing behind Zhao Wenke. He was immediately shocked. He put on a gentle smile and stepped forward to hold Zhao Wenke’s hand.

“Hello, hello.” He Xin said politely. With his many years of social experience, it wasn’t difficult to tell the middle-aged man’s identity. Regardless of whether it was his clothes or expression, he emitted a rich aura of nobility. If it wasn’t a great noble, then it would be a noble of the territory, and at least an earl. In order to be cautious, he put away his arrogant attitude and decided to clarify the matter first. Before this, he had never heard of Syris Investment Co., Ltd. Having any deep background, so he accepted this case. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have time to avoid it.

When Zhao Wenke introduced Earl Andrew Teresa to He Xin, He Xin’s expression immediately became exceptionally brilliant. First, his eyes widened. A look of disbelief appeared on his face. As if he had seen a towering mountain and a vast ocean, he was only one step away from saying, “You are the legendary one” Then, his gaze narrowed and he bowed respectfully. Then, he took out his handkerchief and quickly wiped his hands before reaching over. He Xin said solemnly, “I, He Xin, am the supervisor of the Wind Sand Castle Mining Committee. Greetings, Earl Andrew.”

Although Earl Andrew did not hold any position in the system of the World Council, nor did he possess much wealth, he represented the dignity of the upper nobles. He Xin could privately call him a “poor ghost” or a “broken house”, or even treat him as a joke after tea, but on the surface, he had no choice but to respect him. Especially in public, he had to be treated with the utmost respect. Otherwise, the other powerful Silver City nobles would make He Xin understand the consequences of despising them at any time.

He Xin knew what was at stake, so he naturally made a gesture. However, using the fallen nobles as a cover was nothing new in the Silver City world. The moment he heard the count’s surname, he understood seven or eight points. However, since the other party had used this move, he could only temporarily retreat. Not long after, he left Crimson Peak Stronghold on the pretext of “numerous official duties.”

About half an hour later, halfway back to Sand Wind Castle, he suddenly stopped his car and walked down the Dead Sea Poplar Forest. The two Wind Sand Castle clerks immediately looked at each other, not knowing what his boss wanted to do.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go undo it.” He Xin made a gesture and explained, but at this moment, a long jet came from far to near.

“Aggressive …”

He hurriedly turned around and saw a figure descending from the sky and landing behind him. The man was dressed in a dark green cloth robe and his face was hidden under a headband.

“You are” He Xin hesitated.

The green-robed man ignored him and walked over to the jeep.

“Commissioner He” Seeing the stranger approaching, the clerk in charge of driving turned around and asked He Xin. The other looked at the green-robed man with caution and subconsciously touched the pistol at his waist.

At this moment, the green-robed man suddenly moved his arm and pulled out his gun.

“Bang!” “Bang!”

With two gunshots, the space between the eyebrows of the two clerks of Windsand Castle exploded, and large amounts of flesh and blood sprayed out from the back of their heads.

“You” Before He Xin could react, the two subordinates were already dead.

The green-robed man put away his gun and slowly said, “The investigation team found a large amount of evidence against Chifeng, but on the way back, they were assassinated by the other party. The two clerks bravely resisted and died in the end. Under their cover, Commissioner He was lucky enough to escape.”

“Yang Yong, let’s do this” He Xin’s eyes flickered as he asked hesitantly, “Isn’t it a bit too much?” Although he said “we”, Yang Yong did not discuss it with him. He directly ended the matter and did not even give him any room to maneuver. At this time, as long as he said the wrong thing, it was very likely that the corpse would explode on the spot. Therefore, he had to be cautious in his words to avoid arousing the suspicion of the other party.

Actually, several months ago, they had already reached an agreement in private to suppress Crimson Peak Stronghold together. Although He Xin was lecherous, he would not muddle over the key issues. Previously, he had only contacted Syris or asked the little girl to accompany him in order to create the illusion of “neutrality”. Even if Syris was really willing to sleep with him, or if they were willing to let the little girl accompany him, he would still find another excuse to clash with them. Anyway, he didn’t take their money. As for the relationship between men and women, that’s what you and I want. There’s no deal.

He Xin is a smart man. He never takes money for his work, because money will become evidence.

How much can a small official have? Just a little calculation will make it clear. If he had a large amount of unknown assets, as long as someone reported him, he would immediately go to jail. Therefore, as long as he had ready-made enjoyment and a long-term partner, someone would pay for all the food, clothing, shelter, wine and beauty he needed.

“Too much? I don’t think so.” The green-robed man lifted his head and revealed a serious poker face.

“They found Earl Andrew Teresa …” Before He Xin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

“They’re all dilapidated nobles. They don’t have much influence anymore.” Yang Yong said disdainfully.

“This is secondary” He Xin hesitated for a moment and said, “Didn’t you discover that the jurisdiction of Crimson Peak Stronghold and Storm Stronghold overlapped by one-third? Have you investigated the relationship between them?”

“What does it matter? The Storm Stronghold is even more ruthless than us. It has already taken advantage of them. Moreover, there are only two highlands nearby. There aren’t many places to build a stronghold.” Yang Yong said.

“We have an old saying in the Far East, be careful to sail for ten thousand years.” He Xin advised in a harmonious voice.

“They have already killed more than a hundred of us. What the hell are you being careful about!” Yang Yong’s face darkened as he said.

He Xin could only sigh and say, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Right now, he was unable to get down on his tiger, so there was nothing he could do about it. Originally, he only wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn’t expect that things would develop to such an extent that it had already exceeded his tolerance. He wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t be able to. He was just a small official. If he forced others to be anxious, wanting to take his life would be like asking for something.

Seeing that He Xin’s expression was uncertain, Yang Yong took out a gold card from his inner pocket and flew over between his fingers, saying, “Go and relax.”

He Xin caught the golden card and flipped it over to take a look. Instantly, his face revealed ecstasy as he thanked him repeatedly.

There were only three words engraved on the card-Elysium. The font was round and enchanting, like the curves of a woman’s body, and the thorns twisted around it. The exquisite and meticulous lines seemed to be able to make people feel the sharpness of thorns. Together, the two created a peculiar sense of beauty, filled with mystery, darkness, cruelty, and beauty.

“I’ll wait for your good news in the honeycomb.” After Yang Yong finished speaking, without waiting for He Xin to reply, he jumped into the air and spat out blue flames from his back, flying away directly.

Looking at the blue dots of light disappearing into the sky, He Xin snorted coldly and put the gold card into his inner pocket. Then, he dragged the corpses of the two clerks out of the car. After cleaning them up a little, he drove away.

A few hours later …

He Xin returned to Sand Wind Castle and immediately reported his subordinate’s death. There was no lack of content to add fuel to the fire. In short, the people of Crimson Peak Stronghold were lawless and had no regard for human life.

The chairman of the mining committee was enraged when he heard his report. Killing the investigators was akin to declaring war on Sandstorm Castle’s City Hall. He immediately reported the situation to the Deputy Mayor and asked the Fort Wind Sand Police to take over the case.

About two hours later, Inspector Vick, who had received the order, set off with twelve motorized warriors. It was related to the prestige of the City Hall of Windsand Castle. He had to investigate this matter as soon as possible and bring the criminals to justice.

At the same time, He Xin returned to his apartment after reporting the situation. This was a two-bedroom one-hall suite located in the residential area of the City Hall. It was patrolled 24 hours a day and was one of the safest places in Windsand Castle.

He poured himself a glass of wine and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

“Sigh …” After taking a sip of wine, he let out a long sigh. What happened next would only become more and more dangerous, and he didn’t know how many more drinks he would be able to drink.

Thinking like this, he took out the golden card that Yang Yong gave him and looked at it carefully while drinking.

Elysium was an underground club in Wind Sand Castle. It held an event once a month, and the admission fee was as high as 3,000 gold coins. Moreover, money was useless, and there had to be enough people to recommend it. He looked at the calendar on the wall and saw that there would be an event the day after tomorrow. It was time to see how much longer he could live if he got caught up in this storm.

“Ah ~ Elysium ~ Looks like our hobbies are very close ~”

Just as he was calculating, a voice suddenly came from somewhere, causing his entire body to tremble and the card to fall to the ground.

“Who is it!” He cried out. As he looked at the voice, he saw a graceful and pure-looking girl walking towards him from the shadows of the living room.

“You … What do you want to do …” Seeing someone suddenly appear in his own house, He Xin’s soul was shocked to the point that even his voice trembled.

“Don’t be afraid ~ If I wanted to kill you ~ You’ve already died ten thousand times ~” The girl’s voice was thick and smooth, making people itch.

“You are” He Xin quickly calmed down. After all, he was someone who had seen storms before. As long as he wasn’t here to kill him, everything would be easy to say.

“I want to know something. If you can cooperate, it should be over soon.” The girl smiled and said.

“Good good” He Xin nodded his head repeatedly. Although the woman in front of him was beautiful, she was like a deadly poppy, causing people to tremble.
