Chapter 445: Hope to Continue Cooperation
"What should we do now?" Liu Yanhe asked.
Tang Rao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and suddenly he looked out of the car window.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yanhe, seeing Tang Rao's action, was startled. Could something be about to happen?
"Right now, you can witness my power, as well as the ferocity of the other party," Tang Rao said coldly.
Before Liu Yanhe could react, a fierce beam of light surged towards them, striking the car directly.
Boom!
In an instant, the car exploded and turned into a massive fireball.
The impact was so intense that, at the moment of the explosion, not even fragments were left; everything was completely melted away and obliterated.
Clearly, only super technology could achieve this.
Moreover, this was a war weapon from the field of super technology.
Currently, only the Special Ninth Department possesses such weapons. Due to a unified policy, no other place, not even allied nations, is permitted to use these weapons – at least, it's not allowed.
Soon after, as the explosion cleared, two figures appeared.
Tang Rao stood quietly, completely unharmed. As for Liu Yanhe, he was squatting on the ground, his face utterly pale.
Just a moment ago, he had thought he was going to die.
"Alright, get up; you're not dead," Tang Rao said, pulling Liu Yanhe up.
Although he was standing, Liu Yanhe's legs were still trembling.
It was terrifying, utterly vicious.
And Tang Rao's power was beyond belief.
To have effortlessly blocked such an attack, without even a scratch.
Is this what a Cultivator is? So, a Cultivator can be this powerful.
Tang Rao glanced around, only to hear pedestrians screaming. Due to the chaos, he could not determine the source of the attack.
Of course, if he couldn't figure it out, someone else could.
Tang Rao took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Skinny Monkey, locate my position. I've just been attacked by a super technological war weapon, help me find the person," Tang Rao spoke directly.
"One moment," came a voice through the phone, Yan Wei uttered just two words, and then there was silence, only the sound of typing on a computer keyboard.
Half a minute later, Yan Wei coughed softly, "Found it, I've sent all the data to your phone, I'll be there shortly."
"Good."
"Tang Rao..." Tang Rao was about to hang up when Yan Wei called out.
"What is it?" asked Tang Rao.
"That thing... you see, now I'm also working for you, so... I was planning to propose to Li Li," Yan Wei said hesitantly.
"Damn, I have to blame myself for that, I've been forgetting it," Tang Rao felt somewhat embarrassed, "I'll transfer your salary to your account."
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it; I should be the one thanking you. Without your help, much would have been difficult," Tang Rao said with a laugh.
"It's what I should do," Yan Wei said earnestly, and then the call ended.
...
Not three seconds after the call ended, Tang Rao's phone vibrated.
He opened an email, which contained a video, presumably clipped by Yan Wei from surveillance footage.
It showed a young man, but his face was covered, making it impossible to discern his appearance. The only identifiable feature was his hair, which was a golden color.
Not the golden hue of the people from the Bing State, but rather the unconventional color you'd see on street hooligans.
Yan Wei supplemented the video with three words: Grand Joy Club.
It seems that to find this blondie, one needs to look for the Grand Joy Club.
However, Tang Rao had no intention of seeking out this blondie, as it held little meaning. Since the other party dared to let the blondie take action, they must have covered their tracks thoroughly.
Even if he found the blondie, it would probably be fruitless.
Instead of wasting time and energy on such matters, it would be better to do something meaningful.
Such as putting pressure on the Special Ninth Department.
Many issues no longer merit a meticulous unraveling; it is more direct to pull the rug out from under and address the problem from the very top.
"Let's go," called Tang Rao to Liu Yanhe, and then headed straight towards the secret entrance of the Special Ninth Department nearby.
Liu Yanhe was taken aback for a moment but quickly followed.
Soon, Tang Rao and Liu Yanhe entered the base.
They'd hardly taken a few steps when a group of people came up to meet them.
"Tang Rao, are you alright?" Han Wanli quickly asked.
Tang Rao did not reply, his face as cold as frost.
"Tang Rao, speak up," urged Han Wanli, growing anxious.
Tang Rao remained silent, staring intently at the big boss next to Han Wanli.
As for the big boss, he also had his brows deeply furrowed.
The two men looked at each other, the atmosphere eerie and oppressive.
"It wasn't me," finally, the big boss spoke.
Tang Rao glanced at the big boss while also surveying the crowd behind him. These people constituted the most authoritative group in Yannation.
"Since you all disdain me so much, I might as well leave. As for those advanced technologies, sorry, but due to your issues, I will be taking them away," Tang Rao said coldly.
Everyone was startled. Take away the advanced technologies? How could that be done?
"You think I can't take them?" Tang Rao scoffed, and with a casual gesture, a middle-aged man dressed like a researcher was pulled by Spiritual Energy right in front of Tang Rao.
"Your name is Jin Shengqiao, right?" asked Tang Rao.
Tang Rao had heard of this Jin Shengqiao from Zhao Bingchuan's mouth; the big boss had given part of the Seventy-two Domains' technology to Jin Shengqiao. However, Jin Shengqiao was very much a bureaucrat, divulging little information and thus slowing down the research.
"What are you going to do?" Jin Shengqiao looked at Tang Rao in fear.
"Nothing much, just want to let you know that whatever I have given you, I can take back at any time!" Tang Rao snorted, then pointed a finger and lightly tapped on Jin Shengqiao's head.
A look of bewilderment appeared in Jin Shengqiao's eyes, and then his face turned deathly pale.
"Why can't I remember anything? What about the knowledge? Why can't I think of it? What did you do to me!" Jin Shengqiao roared as he lunged at Tang Rao, his eyes bloodshot.
He could never catch Tang Rao—who waved his hand and sent Jin Shengqiao flying out.
Everyone looked at Tang Rao in horror... Could knowledge also be taken away?
"The things in the heads of others, I will also take them back one by one. Don't worry, it definitely won't damage their brains," Tang Rao said with a light laugh, his tone chillingly cold.
"Tang Rao, can we talk for a moment?" the big boss knew that it was not the time to keep silent anymore.
"Go ahead," Tang Rao nodded, with no intention of speaking privately.
"I will give you an explanation for this matter, just give me some time," the big boss said somewhat circumspectly.
"Is this your sincerity?" asked Tang Rao, "If it weren't for me standing guard during this period, do you really think you guys could develop advanced technologies in peace? Any Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator from the Seventy-two Domains could ravage Blue Star ten or eight times over."
"And…" Tang Rao fixed his gaze on the big boss, "do you really not remember the vow of Heavenly Dao we made in the beginning?"
The big boss stiffened, his expression fluctuating.
"One day, I will give you an answer."
"I hope we can continue to cooperate," Tang Rao nodded, then disappeared on the spot.
