Chapter 478: Going Over in Force! Demanding the Supplies!

"Don't rush, we still have one last thing left to do."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming looked at Li Xiang and asked, "How about it? Did you manage to interrogate Du Ma and the others and find out where the stolen supplies went?"

Besides this batch of culprits, Lei Ting Wu Guan had also lost supplies worth several hundred billion.

Among them were some rare flowers and exotic herbs, as well as weapons and equipment.

If they could be recovered, it would naturally allow this S-rank mission to be completed more perfectly.

"They said all the supplies were handed over to Miao Pu, and they weren't clear on the specific whereabouts."

Li Xiang shook his head, his expression somewhat hesitant as he said:

"Miao Pu is a seventh-rank Grandmaster, my psychic-type ability is useless against him.

If we want to interrogate him, we'll probably need to invite a psychic-type seventh-rank Grandmaster to handle it."

The moment Li Xiang finished speaking, Leng Yuexi eagerly cut in, saying softly:

"I do happen to know a few psychic-type seventh-rank Grandmasters. If you need to invite one, I can help arrange it."

"This batch of supplies was most likely sent by Miao Pu to the Black Lion Guild's side.

Now that things have been exposed, the Black Lion Guild has probably already begun transferring the supplies.

Even with Miao Pu's testimony, they're very likely to deny everything."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Jingming spoke to his smart bracelet:

"Eva, can you hack into the Black Lion Guild's intelligent management system? I want you to look into where those supplies from Lei Ting Wu Guan went."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone present, Leng Yuexi included, wore puzzled expressions.

The Black Lion Guild is a peak eighth-rank power — their intelligent management system is something you can just hack into whenever you feel like it?

"Eva received, beginning intrusion..."

"Intrusion successful, supply warehouse query complete. The whereabouts of the seized supplies are as follows."

Eva's crisp voice rang out, and just a few seconds later, a holographic projection appeared before everyone.

It listed in detail the supplies seized from the Lei Ting Wu Guan branch, along with their warehousing times.

It even clearly displayed which items were currently being transferred and where they were being transferred to!

"This..."

Leng Yuexi's eyes widened, her face full of surprise: "It actually hacked in successfully?

Jingming, what level is your AI? That's impressive.

And from the name, it seems somewhat similar to that top-tier AI from Mo Da?"

Xia Lan and the others also looked over curiously.

If the intelligent systems of peak eighth-rank powers were that easy to hack, they would have been blown open countless times long ago.

"It's just a level-1 AI, it's just somewhat better at hacking control systems.

The name is also because I got used to calling it that back at Mo Da, so I just used the same name."

Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

Leng Yuexi immediately made an amusing expression that clearly said, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

A level-1 AI can hack into a large-scale system like this? Yeah, right!

If there really were a level-1 AI like that, I'd take as many as you have!

After muttering a few complaints in her heart, Leng Yuexi also realized Xu Jingming wasn't telling the truth.

But she didn't press further, just nodded and said:

"With this evidence, things are indeed much better. Just hand this evidence over to the person in charge who comes from Lei Ting Wu Guan to take over later."

Back in the Kanda Wilderness Zone, she had already known that Xu Jingming was only here to do the mission, and that someone else would be responsible for taking over afterward.

"By the time the person taking over arrives, the Black Lion Guild will probably have already transferred the supplies.

By then, even Eva might not be able to track them down."

Xu Jingming shook his head. "So I'm preparing to go there in person to demand the supplies back."

"You're going there in person?"

Leng Yuexi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Several hundred billion in resources — that old fellow at the Black Lion Guild won't cough them up that easily.

Forget it, I'll go with you. Our Spirit Fox Guild is, after all, a peak eighth-rank power.

With me there, they at least won't go too far."

"It's fine. I'm representing Lei Ting Wu Guan, the Black Lion Guild wouldn't dare do anything to me."

Xu Jingming waved his hand. "At most I'll just have to bear the pressure of a peak eighth-rank Grandmaster, that's all."

The Spirit Fox Guild's presence in this Chaotic Triangle Domain was merely a branch.

Including Leng Yuexi, they only had three seventh-rank Grandmasters in total.

If she tagged along with him, once the mission ended, he could just pack up and head straight back to Da Xia.

But the Spirit Fox Guild's situation would become very troublesome.

"I'll trouble you all to keep Miao Pu in custody for now."

After saying that, without waiting for Leng Yuexi's reply, he directly took Lin Hui and the others and left.

"This Xu Jingming, he really does think things through quite thoroughly."

Watching Xu Jingming walk away, the corners of Leng Yuexi's red lips curved up slightly — clearly in a very pleasant mood.

As clever as she was, she naturally understood why Xu Jingming had done this.

The Black Lion Guild was located in the urban area of the Chaotic Triangle Domain.

Like the Spirit Fox Guild, they also had a compound, except its area was four or five times that of the Spirit Fox Guild's.

It seemed they had long been prepared, for when Xu Jingming and his group arrived.

He was immediately led to the VIP reception hall on the second floor of the Black Lion Guild's central building.

"Honored prodigies of Lei Ting Wu Guan, sorry to keep you waiting—my apologies, something held me up just now."

It wasn't long before, accompanied by a hearty laugh,

a man with stubble, yellow-black skin, and a tall, broad frame pushed the door open and entered the reception hall.

This man was none other than the president of the Black Lion Guild, Mara Nian.

"You must be Xu Jingming, right? Truly a hero from among the young—even Miao Pu could be defeated by you."

Although Mara Nian was an eighth-rank peak Master Zongshi, he kept his posture very low.

Not only did he greet them in the language of the Great Xia Kingdom, he also enthusiastically extended his right hand right away, wanting to shake hands with Xu Jingming.

But Xu Jingming merely glanced at him coldly and said in a cold voice:

"Our Lei Ting Wu Guan branch was wiped out, so it's only right that we capture them."

His handshake refused, Mara Nian wasn't embarrassed either, merely putting on an extremely regretful look:

"That Miao Pu fellow is always reckless and overreaching—I never imagined he'd be this audacious this time, daring to make a move against you all!

Rest assured, I absolutely will not show him any favoritism.

You may deal with Miao Pu and his group however you wish; our Black Lion Guild absolutely will not interfere."

At these words, Xu Jingming was immediately somewhat surprised.

Miao Pu was, after all, a seventh-rank Master with passably decent combat ability.

He had originally expected Mara Nian to at least try to persuade them a few times, but he hadn't expected the other party to give up so cleanly.

'I wonder if Miao Pu and his group, knowing their president has this kind of reaction, will feel chilled to the bone.'

Xu Jingming was very clear that the raid on the Lei Ting Wu Guan branch had Mara Nian's covert approval behind it.

Otherwise, they alone wouldn't have had such boldness, and the subsequent supplies wouldn't have been transported back to the Black Lion Guild either.

But Mara Nian now abandoned them without the slightest hesitation, which also showed from another angle how ruthless his temperament was.

"How Miao Pu and the others are dealt with, President Mara need not worry about."

Lifting his eyelids, Xu Jingming's cold, sharply contrasting black-and-white eyes stared fixedly at Mara Nian:

"I've come here for only one thing—to recover the supplies Miao Pu and his group seized from the Lei Ting Wu Guan branch."
