Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 318.010. Negotiation (Part Two)

"Of course, you're not bad either. You're the organization's third leader, the representative of the White Walkers' power within the NA organization. Without you, the organization wouldn't be able to initiate the mode of working between the White Walkers and humans, right?"

Kato Ren said slowly.

Chi Xingluan did not answer, because the other party was merely stating facts and did not require an answer.

“I’ve also been in contact with the organization, and even met your number one leader once. Given time, he must be quite the schemer to have developed the organization to this extent.”

Wu Xiang approached with his hands behind his back.

Chi Xingluan had never heard of that guy being involved with Wu Xiang, but given his abilities, it wasn't exactly unexpected.

"But intrigue is ultimately a low-level tactic; it can only be used in secret. It can't be brought into the open and can't be used for great things."

The martial arts seem to be both instruction and a joke.

Today, he used the bombing of the Alden building to expose the organization to the public, hitting the organization where it hurts the most.

It's obvious that the future won't be easy.

Chi Xingluan looked up at the precarious ceiling, his eyes filled with a hazy, murky mist.

If there is a "future".

“Luan, you are a smart man, and you know why we kept you here. I want to hear your answer.”

Kato Ren met Akashi Raku's gaze, his tone gentle and his smile kind.

Chi Xingluan smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, even I am burdened with the Blood God Curse to prevent being hypnotized or having my soul's memories searched for information. I can't say anything."

The military prime minister glanced at the civil prime minister.

The latter nodded in confirmation that Chi Xingluan was right.

"That's really a difficult situation." Kato Ren scratched his white hair, still smiling, as if he couldn't see the moment when he was annoyed.

"It's alright. As far as I know, Blood God Curse will explode and die as long as it tries to confess its identity through actions or consciousness, right? Let's talk about something else, something that doesn't involve the organization's secrets."

“Let’s talk about you?” Wu Xiang looked at Chi Xingluan with a scrutinizing gaze. “What are Luan-jun’s ideals? I’m very curious. What could possibly move someone who has learned to be patient and meticulous since childhood?”

"In human society, a man's adornments are nothing more than three things: wealth, power, and women. The same applies to the world of the White Walkers. So, Luan-kun, what are you lacking?"

Kato Ren said jokingly, "Wealth is foundation, power is strength, and you seem to have neither."

Chixing Luan did not answer.

However, Kato Ren's interrogations never require answers. Just by standing in front of the person being interrogated, the other person's body language, expression, and other characteristics will reveal their inner thoughts.

"It seems you mentioned Miss Qi beforehand, and it wasn't just a random remark," Wu Xiang chuckled.

Kato Ren's words were like a postmark machine, each one striking Akahoshi Raku's heart; if you squeezed hard, blood would seep out from the fine seams.

Chi Xingluan looked at him, his eyes dark, but not like the dejection of a loser, but a silent sneer.

"Of course, I don't think you're fixated on women, but every woman who comes into your view must have something special about her, right?"

The flames on the building burned fiercer and fiercer, accompanied by occasional popping and crackling sounds.

Considering that Akashiro Raku's physical condition was not strong, not to mention the scorching temperature around him and the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning at any time, Kato Ren waved and said, "This is not a good place to talk, come with me."

Kato Ren took a few steps forward, and the silent guard in a suit at the door stepped forward on his own initiative.

The command [Hidden and Repressed] was released, and Chi Xingluan, Wenxiang, Wuxiang, and Chi Xinghuang all seemed to dissolve into a puddle, suddenly leaking from the floor and disappearing in the blink of an eye like splashes of water.

Unrestrained, the flames suddenly blazed fiercely, spreading like ivy across the entire floor in an instant, their tongues of fire bursting from rows of broken windows.

People on the ground became agitated again, and upon seeing the strange behavior in the building, they all evacuated.

This world-famous 100-meter-tall building ended its mission completely in flames.

……

Chi Xingluan looked around and took in the interior layout of the room.

In the dimly lit study, there were still unorganized documents on the desk. The desk in the center was empty, but another member of parliament stood silently to the side.

The other party was clearly stunned when they saw him, and then Kato Ren and the others slowly emerged from the shadows.

Qi Tongli's expression turned slightly solemn as he nodded and said, "Military Prime Minister."

"Brother Qi, you've come at just the right time."

Ren Kato patted him on the shoulder and smiled happily.

"I dare not neglect the orders given by the Prime Minister." Councilor Qi was still somewhat uneasy in front of Kato Ren.

"Then let's move on to the next topic." Kato Ren looked around at the people present and smiled mysteriously.

When Chi Xingluan saw Qi Tongli, he already knew what was going to happen next.

Qi Tongli glanced at Akahoshi and his son, but didn't say anything, listening quietly to Kato Ren's speech.

"Hey, Brother Qi, your daughter's reached the age for marriage, hasn't she found someone she likes yet?"

"It's Wu Xiang!" Wu Xiang suddenly said.

Qi Tongli was slightly taken aback. He didn't understand what political matters had to do with his daughter, but he still answered truthfully: "Nothing like that. My daughter is stubborn and rarely goes out. She doesn't have anyone she likes right now."

Looking at Chi Xingluan, a strange thought popped into his mind: Could it be that Wu Xiang came to arrange a marriage for Chi Xingluan's eldest son?

Wu Xiang chuckled: "That's perfect. Do you think Luan Jun meets your standards?"

“Luan Sang is the eldest son of the Chi Xing family, and his status is noble. I’m afraid my daughter is not good enough for him.”

Qi Tongli said in a lukewarm tone.

"Hey, what era are we living in? Why are you still so concerned about status and position? Just give this old man some face and let them give it a try. I also want to see how these young people can develop. If the two families can get married, that would be a good thing for both sides, right?"

Kato Ren maintained his usual irreverent tone, using both encouragement and jeering.

The civil official despised the military official's character and turned his head away without saying a word.

"Huang, do you have any objections?"

Ren Kato looked at Akira Akahoshi.

"I will follow Lord Wu Xiang's arrangements." Akashi Akira always spoke in a very formal and methodical manner.

“Luan?”

Chi Xingluan knew in his heart that Qi Tongli probably didn't know he was a member of the organization, so he naturally thought it was a joke by the Martial Prime Minister.

But everyone else knows that a new scheme has already begun to be set up.

But at this moment, Chi Xingluan is a prisoner.

Kato Ren didn't even give him a chance to speak; with just a few words, he seized control of the situation.

He can only survive by cooperating, is that the message you're trying to convey?

"I will follow the arrangements of Minister Wu and Father."

Chi Xingluan nodded slightly.

"That's right." Kato Ren chuckled. "Don't be so reserved. We're all family. When are you going to bring your precious daughter out so the young people can get to know each other? If it goes well, then you can get married, right?"
