Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

But then he swiftly changed the subject. "However, Hailong, have you considered one thing? What if Zhang Beixing doesn't go abroad? What will you do then? Do you have a plan?"

Indeed, once Zhang Beixing left the country, Cui Hailong, with his means and influence, had a hundred ways to teach Zhang Beixing a lesson and vent his anger.

But the problem was, what if Zhang Beixing didn't go abroad?

After all, following the Koryth incident, Zhang Beixing had completely fallen out with those Black Ghosts overseas. Now, Black Ghosts all over the world had essentially listed him as a target for revenge. Many gangs, mercenaries, and even terrorists were eyeing him hungrily.

In such a situation, unless Zhang Beixing was a fool, he wouldn't even think about leaving the country.

Ma Yuankai was very curious about how Cui Hailong would handle this. Would he directly send someone into the country to secretly rough up Zhang Beixing and teach him a lesson, or what?

As his question was posed, a long silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Ma Yuankai noticed this and couldn't help frowning. Just as he was about to ask why Cui Hailong was taking so long to speak, he heard Cui Hailong's voice, clearly lacking confidence.

"Well... if he doesn't come out, then I'm out of options. Master, why don't you call the police?"

Even though he was so angry with Zhang Beixing that his teeth itched, and he longed to string up the young brat who had insulted his sect and give him a beating, Cui Hailong hadn't let his anger cloud his judgment; he was still quite clear about his own limitations. Not to mention, my current status makes it inconvenient to return to the country. Even if I did return and face Zhang Beixing, I wouldn't be able to defeat him! That Zhang Beixing is a Grandmaster who has mastered the external release of Vital Energy! I'm just a Pseudo Grandmaster skilled in American-style Iaido, and back in the country, my American-style Iaido is forcefully sealed. Against Zhang Beixing, what could I possibly fight with? A numbers advantage? Grandmasters don't fear that at all! Isn't every one of them capable of taking on ten opponents at once?

Cui Hailong felt utterly helpless.

Hearing his words, Ma Yuankai's smile instantly froze, then his expression darkened. Holding the phone, he cursed, "No plan? Then what the hell are you blabbering about? And I actually thought you had some way to teach that brat a lesson! I've wasted so many years doting on you—you're fucking useless when it really matters!"

"Get lost! Get the hell out! The mere sight of you pisses me off right now!"

With that, he paid no mind to Cui Hailong's thoughts and slammed down the phone, slumping into his chair, fuming.

Today's events were infuriating to the extreme, as if frustration itself had opened the floodgates, leaving him utterly choked with anger!

He, Ma Yuankai, was one of Great Xia's ten publicly recognized Great Grandmasters.

In the past, whenever anyone saw me, wouldn't they respectfully and deferentially address me as Grandmaster Ma? And then today, facing Zhang Beixing, a fellow Grandmaster but from a younger generation... It was bad enough that the other party showed no respect whatsoever. But to strike so ruthlessly, so mercilessly! To humiliate me in front of my own disciple was one thing, but he even posted about it online! Now look! Not only is my real-world reputation ruined, but my online reputation is gone too! I've become a laughingstock!

Combined with the students who had withdrawn from his classes because of this incident, among many other factors, Ma Yuankai's already small reserve of magnanimity was now completely overwhelmed by rage.

"Zhang Beixing, Liu Yi..." he seethed. "You and your master are rotten to the core! So you accuse me of lacking martial ethics, is that it? Fine, then I'll show *you* what lacking martial ethics looks like! For what happened today, I'll make sure you both face severe consequences!"

Muttering this to himself and recalling what Cui Hailong had just said, Ma Yuankai stood up, took his cell phone, walked to one side, and dialed a number he hadn't contacted in a long while.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP—

The dial tone sounded as Ma Yuankai paced back and forth, waiting.

Soon enough,

CLICK—

A crisp sound indicated the call had connected.

Then, a cool female voice came through:

"Hello, this is the Chang'an Police Department. How can I assist you?"

"I want to report a crime! Report a crime!" Hearing this, Ma Yuankai suddenly erupted like a child tattling to a parent after being wronged. "I want to report two people, Liu Yi and Zhang Beixing! They came from out of town, trespassed on my property, and beat me up! This is malicious assault, a serious violation of my personal safety and interests! I want to report them both!"

After Ma Yuankai rattled off three accusations in one breath, the female operator on the other end was momentarily stunned, clearly taken aback by his rapid-fire delivery, as if he were ordering from a menu.

However, her excellent training allowed her to recover quickly.

She addressed Ma Yuankai, "Please don't rush, sir, take your time. The two individuals you want to report are named Zhang Beixing and Liu Yi, correct? Who is the main perpetrator, and who is the accomplice?"

"Zhang Beixing is the main perpetrator, and Liu Yi is the accomplice! Officer, you must get justice for me! My martial arts school was operating perfectly fine, and they just barged in without a word and challenged my school! I know such things are common among us Martial Artists, but an incident like this should still be registered with the police, shouldn't it? They're showing contempt for the authority of our Chang'an Police Department!"

"Alright, alright, sir, please calm down. I am currently verifying this for you... Hmm... Zhang Beixing, Liu Yi... I'm very sorry, sir, but we are unable to assist you with this matter!" After a moment's pause, the operator stated decisively.
