Chapter 91 - Briefing The Leader
Hei Bao inwardly sighed with relief upon seeing the veiled woman who had just entered the safe house.
’Finally, she’s here.’ Hei Bao thought.
Hei Bao had been extremely stressed ever since last night’s events. He had experienced one shock after the other and was becoming more and more worried. Their investigations were not bearing fruit for a while, but now that they actually had some leads, it just seemed like a mountain fell on his mind.
It started with the emergency signal called by Hei Wen, then the appearance of the culprit’s corpses, after was that the surprise of Lin Mu’s status and then finally the incident with Hei Wen this morning. Hei Bao felt that everything was occurring too fast and it was beyond his capacity to handle the alone.
Hei Bao walked forward and greeted the Veiled woman personally.
"Greetings leader. We have been waiting for your arrival." Hei Bao spoke.
"So what was the emergency for which you have summoned me here?" The Veiled woman coldly asked.
Hei Bao took a deep breath before speaking again,
"I’m afraid we have more than one issue that needs to be addressed."
"If you may please." Hei Bao added while gesturing towards the other room.
The veiled woman did not speak anything, but simply followed Hei Bao’s lead. Hei Bao brought her to the locked room, which he opened to let her inside. This was the same room where the plates which were used to send an emergency signal were kept in. These plates were very precious, thus were kept securely locked in this room, which also served as a meeting room for important matters.
"Yes, leader." Hei Bao replied politely.
Hei Bao then guided the veiled woman to the storage room where the dead bodies of the culprits were stored. As soon as they reached the cold room, the woman approached the bodies. Hei Bao suddenly felt a certain wave pass through and understood that it was just the spirit sense probe of the veiled woman.
The veiled woman did not touch any of the bodies, but instead just scanned them with her spirit sense. She seemed to have frowned for a moment, but it wasn’t visible under her veil. A minute later, she was done with the observations.
"They are death warriors, low-level ones, but death warriors indeed." The veiled woman concluded.
"We can also confirm that the town guards may be involved in this. From now on, all the town guards are to be closely investigated." The veiled woman added.
"Leader, the boy named Lin Mu also wants to meet you." Hei Bao spoke with bated breath.
"Yes, I want to meet this boy as well. The lord is especially interested in him." The veiled woman replied with a little interest in her voice.
"Leader, I’m afraid that we may be going beyond our limits with that boy. I can tell with a great surety that he is a category four party." Hei Bao seriously spoke.
The Veiled woman’s pupils widened underneath her veil.
"That boy also knows about the other category four-party in the town; Old man Jing." Hei Bao added.
If the veiled woman’s shock was hidden because of her veil at first, now it was completely revealed as even Hei Bao could hear her breath getting rough. He could swear that he even saw her tremble for a brief moment.
"Do you have an estimate about his cultivation base?" The veiled woman questioned.
"I did not dare confirm it myself, but Hei Wen is sure that it should be at the peak of the Qi refining realm as the boy has refined his spirit sense as well. We also witnessed the carnage he had caused. All the bodies that you see here are his handiwork." Hei Bao explained.
"He... he... he has skills that are rather strange and terrifying, Hei Wen seemed to have experienced it and has become very disturbed because of it." He added.
