Chapter 3795 In short, I have special channels
Chapter 3795... In short, I have special channels.
The two vampires from the [Karen] clan were clearly not as uncooperative as Situ Qingfeng.
The main issue is that vampires in [IERO] basically have no human rights—because they aren't human at all.
After being sprayed with holy water, the two vampires quickly confessed everything they needed to, only asking for a quick death... It was just too painful!
They had never experienced such terrifying "holy water" before. Not only was the damage exceptionally great, but it also had an extremely foul smell...like the stench of urine.
……
"I never expected that this time it would be the American [Hongmen] leading the charge, organizing the American underworld [non-humans] to launch an attack on [Sky.H.I.E.L.D.]..."
Alex's expression was grave. This would be a very serious inhuman incident. If it got out of control, the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nationwide security plan would fail, and it could even lead to an inhuman civil war within the United States.
“Instructor Ye, Instructor Alex, I don’t think so.” Robert thought for a moment and said, “Since the Karen family has already defected to S.H.I.E.L.D., it means that S.H.I.E.L.D. can prepare in advance, and even use this incident to wipe out the Impacters in one fell swoop.”
Ye Yan and Alex exchanged a glance but neither of them said a word.
If Situ Qingfeng remains imprisoned and unable to send out information about the Karen Clan's rebellion, the likely outcome is that the Hongmen plan will fail, while Sky Shield's nationwide security plan will be a resounding success.
"Robert, keep a close eye on Situ Qingfeng right now, make sure he doesn't get a chance to escape!" Alex said hurriedly.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Robert quickly saluted and immediately went to carry out his mission.
Ye Yan was holding a tennis ball and serving it back and forth against the wall... clearly deep in thought.
"Should we report this first?" Alex asked, unsure of what to do.
Ye Yan did not answer. As a martial artist, he was more inclined to support the Hongmen organization... Since the last world, the overseas Hongmen had been secretly supporting the salvation of China and its subsequent development.
Humans are inherently selfish. Whether the native vampires and werewolves of the United States live or die is irrelevant... but it's different when it comes to one's own compatriots.
As fellow martial artists, Old Ye held a deep respect for the seniors of the Hongmen.
However, given his identity as [IERO], he naturally couldn't say such things to Alex directly.
"Report now," Ye Yan suddenly said. "It's no longer a matter of who discovered it and who investigated it. This is a serious matter, and the three of us, including Robert, are probably not enough to handle it."
Alex nodded, and without saying a word, quickly picked up his phone and went outside.
Not long after, Alex returned and told Ye Yan that he had informed Sherry Diane, the head of the Organization Department, about the matter.
"Minister Shirley instructed us to keep quiet for the time being, not to leave the office, to confiscate our cell phones, not to contact the outside world, and to keep a close watch on Situ Qingfeng and the two vampires... I think she should continue to report to her superiors. Judging from her tone, she takes it very seriously."
As soon as Alex finished speaking, two staff members from the [IERO] office entered the room and confiscated all of Ye Yan and Alex's communication devices.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, we need to conduct this in a business-like manner..."
"learn."
After the two left, Alex sat down somewhat uneasily. "Ye, what do you think [IERO] will do next?"
Ye Yan thought for a moment and said, "They might secretly let Situ Qingfeng go."
Alex asked in astonishment, "Why is that? Wouldn't it be better to have S.H.I.E.L.D. cripple those inhuman villains wreaking havoc in the American underworld?"
Ye Yan shook his head slightly, "That's right, this is naturally good for ordinary people, because there will be fewer threats from unruly [inhumans]... But for [IERO], it may not be a good thing."
Alex scratched his head, feeling that this was a good thing. "Why wouldn't it be a good thing?"
Ye Yan chuckled softly, "Let me ask you, if S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nationwide security plan proceeds smoothly, will S.H.I.E.L.D. gain tremendous prestige among the public?"
"Really?" Alex paused, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Ye Yan patiently said, "If everyone only recognizes S.H.I.E.L.D., then let me ask you, how will IERO continue its work in the United States? Americans already think S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing enough and no longer needs IERO. So, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, you can't carry out your work, but if you leave, it proves that IERO is dispensable. If it's like this in the United States, what about in other countries?"
Alex stared wide-eyed, hesitated several times before finally slumping down. "We can't just hope that the S.H.I.E.L.D. plan fails and causes a huge disaster, can we?"
Ye Yan sighed, "Actually, [IERO] was already unable to gain a foothold in China, and now that [S.H.I.E.L.D.] is too powerful, the environment for [IERO] will be very bad... This is a very difficult thing for the people who formed [IERO]."
"Damn it!" Alex roared, "What kind of time is this to be engaging in such dirty politics!" Alex sighed, then pondered, "But there are quite a few American officials in [IERO]'s headquarters... Do you think they'll just sit idly by?"
“That depends on what Minister Shirley chooses to do.” Ye Yan shrugged. “Alex, we’re just ordinary soldiers. We either resign or obey orders.”
Resigning... is impossible; he still has to support his nephew.
Ye Yan patted Alex on the shoulder, "Dude, you shouldn't overthink it. This isn't for you."
Alex immediately glared angrily – What the hell? Do you think I'm brainless?
Ye Yan shrugged.
"Ye, did you encounter anything similar when you were with Interpol?" Alex asked curiously.
"It's just a regular meal." Ye Yan shook his head. "Alright, I'm going to go chat with Situ Qingfeng."
……
Inside the interrogation room, Situ Qingfeng was eating large mouthfuls of char siu rice.
When Ye Yan came in, Situ Qingfeng only glanced at him and then ignored him... until Situ Qingfeng finished eating everything in a way that was almost like licking the plate clean.
"Want me to get you another serving?" Ye Yan smiled casually. "How many more servings can you eat? The environment here isn't great, but at least the food is guaranteed."
Situ Qingfeng said calmly, "Don't eat too much."
Ye Yan asked curiously, "Why?"
"I'm afraid of being hungry." Situ Qingfeng said expressionlessly.
Ye Yan became even more curious, "Then shouldn't we eat even more?"
Situ Qingfeng shook his head. "If you eat too much, you won't be able to go hungry."
Ye Yan remained silent.
Situ Qingfeng remained silent.
After a moment, Ye Yan sighed and said, "Those two vampires who were chasing you have confessed everything... The [Karen] clan betrayed your alliance."
"Then you should let me go." Situ Qingfeng stared at Ye Yan and said, "You're a martial artist too!"
“But you chose to cooperate with vampires and werewolves.” Ye Yan shook his head. “You should know what kind of non-human beings these are.”
Situ Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Aren't there any good ones among vampires and werewolves?"
“That’s too little.” Ye Yan sighed. “It doesn’t change anything. People are afraid of what they are, so they can only be what they are.”
"I thought you were different; I was blind." Situ Qingfeng couldn't help but sneer, "Lackey!"
Ye Yan chuckled softly, "We only met today, how could you possibly know me?"
Situ Qingfeng snorted coldly.
Ye Yan smiled and said, "Shall we have char siu rice for dinner again?"
Situ Qingfeng closed his eyes.
"Then let's have char siu rice."

When Ah Xiruo returned to the closed-door meeting room, she saw the old scoundrel and Huo Zhen sitting calmly like fishermen on a fishing platform... The rest of them all had dark circles under their eyes.
The Dragon King has returned, and everyone naturally sits down like his underlings.
"Now I know how S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the Engineers." Unexpectedly, the Dragon Lord released explosive news immediately upon his return.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. can artificially create Level 7 non-human beings through the cell tissue and blood transfusion of Engineers, and there is already the first successful case."
Everyone was moved... and almost at the same time they all looked at the old scoundrel and Huo Zhen.
Although different regions of the world use different methods to rate "extraordinary" and "inhuman," the conclusions are similar... LV7, according to the hypothetical data given by the United States, is the level of the "Fire Cloud Evil God."
As for Huo Zhen, this "National Hero," he's still a little short of LV7... probably around LV6 with full limit break.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. already possesses such dangerous technology?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances, all sensing the danger... The old scoundrel of China could not be replicated, but the "Soldiers of the Motherland" could be artificially created?
“This isn’t S.H.I.E.L.D.’s own technology.” Ah Xi Ruo shook her head. “A resurrected god is secretly cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D. He brought this technology, and he also provided the Engineers.”
The old scoundrel and Huo Zhen were deeply moved.
Huo Zhen subconsciously asked, "Could it be [Mr. Wednesday]?"
“That’s right.” Ah Xi Ruo nodded. “Odin, the father of the gods in Norse mythology, of course… only the Odin of this world.”
This abrupt and incomplete second half of the sentence left everyone bewildered... What does it mean to be "Odin" limited to this world?
Only the old scoundrel looked deep in thought... He himself had already reached that point.
"Wait, what is the Dragon Lord referring to as Odin?" The old man's dead memories suddenly resurfaced. "I remember, didn't Odin perish in that extraordinary war more than a hundred years ago?"
It's naturally referring to the previous generation of shop owners' extraordinary manipulation of the world... or rather, their reaping of wealth.
“It’s him.” Ah Xiruo shook her head. “Obviously, he didn’t perish; he even survived. He’s just been hiding somewhere to recuperate all these years.”
Huo Zhen couldn't help but gasp. The opponent was a god among mortals who had lived for an unknown amount of time, which didn't sound like a good thing. "This... I wonder how the Dragon Lord learned about this information?"
How did they find out...?
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly fell into deep thought.
—I got this after being hit by thousands of critical strikes at a normal speed... What do you think?
She felt like she had been ripped off!
I put in so much effort and was forced to unlock the second entrance, while the other party just talked and provided some information... It's an unequal exchange!
I wonder if that heartless maid did the same thing...
Men all like this... So skilled.
……
"Dragon Lord... Dragon Lord?"
Everyone watched with bated breath.
Ah Xiruo picked up her water glass to moisten her slightly dry throat and said calmly, "As for my sources, of course I use my own channels... I have my own channels. If you don't believe me, then go ahead and do it yourselves."
"Of course that's not what we meant!" everyone quickly said, and then began to sing praises... "You've worked hard, Dragon Lord!"
Ah Xiruo waved her hand and then continued talking about the information she had gathered.
The meeting in the small, dark conference room continued until evening, and no one even had dinner.
However, since Lord Dragon has returned, the chair is definitely not going to be thrown out, and spitting is not allowed... so it's very friendly.
The meeting didn't end until nine o'clock.
Ah Xiruo yawned. "I wouldn't even hold a dog's meeting like this next time."
"Why are you here?"
Standing in front of the room, she looked in surprise at Ziling's mother, who was standing at the door, seemingly having waited for some time.
"Master, I need to go out for a bit..." Ziling's mother pleaded, "but the security guard said I need your permission to go out..."
Ah Xi Ruo didn't ask why, "Is it something very important?"
"Well, it's very important!"
“Okay.” Ah Xiruo nodded. “I’ll go get the car.”
"Great God! I love you!"
—You're welcome... Your son has already paid.

Streets of Washington, D.C. at night.
A black Cadillac Escalade was parked on the street, and two Level 4 agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. quietly got out of the car and walked into an old, short-term rental apartment building.
Two agents arrived on the sixth floor quickly. The landlady was standing in front of one of the apartments, looking panicked, accompanied by two DCPDs.
“Sir!” One of the DCPDs rushed forward. “It was this landlady who reported the incident. The tenant inside should be a non-human who came to participate in the arena competition, but he should have failed the qualification assessment. However, he did not leave.”
The two agents nodded, then pushed open the door... and saw that the entrance was splattered with blood.
The floor and walls were covered in splattered blood, and in enormous quantities... What kind of cruel method could have caused such a large-scale splatter?
"Could it have been torn apart alive? But where is the body?"
The two agents frowned... This wasn't the first similar case they'd encountered—in fact, more than twenty similar incidents had occurred in recent days.
The victims involved in the case have been confirmed to be both "non-human" and "extraordinary," but they were all eliminated during the qualification assessment. They did not leave, presumably to continue watching the competition.
Furthermore, these are all loners, without any companions, and if they disappear for a few days, no one will care.
The two agents inspected the scene but found no useful clues, so they had to temporarily seal off the area... They still had to write a report when they got back.
One or two such incidents could be dismissed as private feuds between "inhuman" individuals, but more than twenty such incidents with similar methods indicate a different nature.
"Is there any conspiracy?"
"Then why choose these weaker characters, those whose deaths wouldn't have much of an impact?"
"To avoid attracting attention?"
"What is their purpose...?"
The vehicle's communicator then relayed another message... A similar case had been discovered on the next street—the two agents exchanged a glance instinctively.
Has the frequency of the crimes increased?
Perhaps this matter is beyond the capabilities of fourth-level agents like them.
……
……
Listening to the upbeat tune, Ah Xiruo steered with one hand on the wheel... Following the address given by Ziling's mother, she arrived at the foot of a large building.
—【IERO】?
Then Ziling's mother excitedly ran over with a bag, but was quickly stopped by several security guards.
"what happened?"
Ah Xiruo walked forward with a cold face and asked.
Ziling's mother said helplessly, "I have a good friend who works here, and I was planning to give him something... but the security guard said there's no such person here, and I don't know what's going on?"
"Where's the phone?"
"I haven't been able to get through." Ziling's mother shook her head, worriedly saying, "Could something have happened?"
Ah Xiruo glanced casually at the two security guards, then calmly pulled Ziling's mother back to the car and asked directly, "What's your friend's name? What does he/she look like? Is he/she male or female?"
"Ye Yan, you're thirty-seven this year, right? You look quite mature, but with a touch of world-weariness!"
Ah Xiruo's eyes flashed with a golden light, and the entire interior of the [IERO] building instantly became like a projection.
"Found him, but... he seems to have run into some trouble."
