Having said that, he turned to leave.
But having only taken a few steps, he seemed to remember something. He turned his head back; under Mu Yuâs somewhat surprised gaze, he pondered for a moment and took out a book.
It was none other than the Paperman Cultivation Journal that Sun Chaoju had given him.
"This belongs to you, doesnât it, Breeder Mu? I must admit, I admire your professional attitude, but forgive me for saying I cannot agree with your cultivation methods! I hope you can make further progress in the lands across the ocean," Su Ping said.
Mu Yu was slightly taken aback as he looked at the journal handed to him. He didnât take it, but instead, raised his head and gave Su Ping an interested look, his slightly narrowed eyes showing no clear emotion.
However, Mu Yu eventually smiled faintly and accepted the journal.
"Then Iâll take your kind words to heart. And, that pendant looks quite nice," Mu Yu said.
Su Ping looked down slightly, glancing at the sword-shaped pendant from which he had taken the cultivation journal.
It was none other than the Space Device of the Fengdu Sword King.
Su Ping smiled, not minding it at all.
However, it was just then that Vice President Liu finally spoke up, "Su Ping, go have something to drink first. I wonât be busy for too long, and we can have a chat later..."
...
Just as Vice President Liu had said, he indeed didnât spend too much time with Mu Yu.
After a little over half an hour, he came to find Su Ping again.
Meanwhile, Mu Yu and his two companions walked out of the Breeder Association building.
âMu Hang had already left when Su Ping did.
Mu Yuâs expression was calm; he didnât seem to care at all about the cold reception he had received at the Breeder Association.
However, the fact that the two Caucasians beside him didnât dare to speak even a word showed that Mu Yuâs mood must be quite bad.
The evolutionary cultivation of the mutated Paperman.
The rejection by a mere junior, and the disdain for him evident in that juniorâs words and tone.
Furthermore, the one he once considered his best friend showed him no regard, not even bothering with basic superficial courtesies.
This made Mu Yu, who had actually come back wanting to catch up with an old friend, feel like a clown.
However, the old and shrewd Mu Yu was not as angered as the two had imagined. Instead, he was puzzled.
Indeed, once in the vehicle, his puzzlement could no longer be masked. He even muttered softly,
"It really looks like that thing. A coincidence? But itâs also unlikely; it lacks that aura. It must be a coincidence, or just one of many fakes..."
Supporting his chin, he no longer cared about the previous Paperman incident.
Chris, beside him, carefully asked, "Master, what thing were you talking about?"
Mu Yu gave him a sidelong glance and replied indifferently, "Donât ask about things you shouldnât! You go out first..."
"Oh..."
Although Chris didnât understand his masterâs meaning, he obediently left the car.
Afterward, with a thought from Mu Yu, a Spirit Barrier completely sealed the space inside the car. Only then did he look at the Caucasian man beside him.
"Harman."
"Mu Sir! What is it?"
A cold light flashed in Mu Yuâs eyes. "That Su Ping is very interesting. I want three things from him. You go get them for me!"
Harman was taken aback, then said with some difficulty, "Mu Sir, this is Dragon Nation, after all. If I act rashly..."
He hadnât finished his sentence when Mu Yuâs gaze swept over him. "After so many years in Dragon Nation, has your brain frozen? I recall you have a rare âMind Wormâ Pet Beast, right?"
"..."
"In Dragon Nation, even in the most glamorous cities, there are always people lurking in the grey areas! No one cares about their lives or movements. That kid is merely an elite Beast Tamer..."
"This... Yes, I understand!"
Harman nodded. Indeed, compared to Mu Yu, a native of Dragon Nation, he was still far too lacking.
However, what truly chilled Harmanâs heart was this Mu Sirâs icy and ruthless nature.
Perhaps this is the reason this Mu Sir is appreciated and heavily relied upon by that entity?
"Remember, leave no trace! The reason Dragon Nationâs security is countless times stronger than Eagle Countryâs is because of the omnipresent official forces! So, from now on, do not have any direct contact with Su Ping, understand? Furthermore, when you make your move, you and I must have a strong witness to provide us with an alibi. Also, it must be done quickly."
"Yes, Mu Sir. What are the three items you require?"
Mu Yu smiled faintly. "The Soul Fire of that Genius Breeder, that mutated Paperman, and..."
A puzzled look flashed in Mu Yuâs eyes. After a momentâs pause, he continued, "And that sword-shaped space pendant."
Although reason told Mu Yu it was highly unlikelyâafter all, if that item were real, its significance would be unimaginable. Moreover, there were indeed too few clues. With only a slight resemblance, there was no need to be overly sensitive.
However, Mu Yuâs style was to rather eliminate the wrong person than let a potential target escape.
After all, that item was supposed to have appeared in some Secret Realm. It was clearly impossible for it to be on that young fellow.
Shaking his head, Mu Yu dismissed the thought, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Liu Fuhai, since you canât even be bothered with superficial courtesies, donât blame me for meddling in your affairs!
Observing the cold glint in the Undead Cultivatorâs eyes, Harman involuntarily shivered. "I understand, rest assured!"
"Go. It would be best to act tonight. Coincidentally, this evening I have to meet with President Qin again; heâs always been keen on joining the âHeart of Goldâ."
