Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 1057: Chapter 416: Going Abroad Again

That guy? Has he grown up so quickly?

Richard was momentarily taken aback by Zhang Beixing’s words. Zhang Beixing seemed unsurprised and was evidently quite familiar with the mysterious creature that the five families had somehow acquired.

"Minister Zhang, how did you come to know of this news? Our Federation Clan only just found out about it.

And judging by your demeanor, you seem to know a lot about this creature."

Richard looked at Zhang Beixing, his azure eyes blinking rapidly, filled with confusion about the matter.

Chen Feng shared the same perplexity. Although Minister Zhang was renowned worldwide for his extraordinary combat power, representing Zhang Beixing’s unparalleled strength, Chen Feng could not fathom how Zhang Beixing had learned of this information.

Even the two families that were attacked couldn’t ascertain the creature’s exact origin, yet Zhang Beixing acted as if he knew exactly what was going on.

"Do you think I spend all day focused only on women?"

Zhang Beixing glanced at the two, even though he was just a step away from the true level of the transcendent, his body could no longer be explained by current science. Any past memory fragment he wished to recall would appear in his mind in the highest definition.

One could say Zhang Beixing’s brain now operated like a high-speed supercomputer, allowing him to deduce the general picture from the smallest clues.

Chen Feng and Richard felt a bit choked by Zhang Beixing’s rhetorical question.

They hadn’t anticipated Minister Zhang’s information network to be so unexpectedly powerful, but the attention on women didn’t seem entirely wrong either...

Of course, neither Richard nor Chen Feng dared to voice this thought. Richard just exchanged a glance with Chen Feng and then organized his thoughts.

"Minister Zhang, since you know about this creature, could you lend a hand to the Federation Clan?

Of course, the Federation Clan wouldn’t expect you to do it for nothing."

Richard didn’t beat around the bush. Despite his identity as a subordinate to Zhang Beixing, he had made this choice to aid the Federation Clan, and at this moment, Richard’s priority was still his family.

At this moment, hearing Richard’s words, Chen Feng followed suit and looked at Zhang Beixing. He was conflicted; he acknowledged Richard as a person, and when the Ninth Logistics Group was established, he would inevitably contribute. However, if these matters required Minister Zhang, the sole extraordinary combat power, to intervene and return a favor, Chen Feng felt the Ninth Bureau was at a disadvantage. Even if the Federation Clan was willing to pay, or offer something else, Chen Feng believed it was a loss.

Zhang Beixing glanced at Richard casually.

"Won’t let me intervene for nothing? What can your Federation Clan offer that will make it worth my while? Money?"

Richard was at a loss as Zhang Beixing’s question caught him off guard, wanting to retort but not knowing what to say.

The Federation Clan, a deeply-rooted behemoth in Europe, was to ordinary people what the moon is to a frog at the bottom of a well. If an ordinary person had the fortune to cross classes and join Europe’s elite, they would truly understand the difference between a mere glimmer and a brilliant sun.

But now, the issue was that Richard wasn’t facing an ordinary person, but the world’s only extraordinary combat power. People say family power is strong, but in front of Zhang Beixing, money became just a number. Anything the Federation Clan could do, Zhang Beixing could handle; and even what they couldn’t manage, he could. For the first time, Richard, who was usually quite superior to outsiders, found himself not knowing what could entice the man in front of him.

Watching Richard hit a wall, Chen Feng felt a hint of smug satisfaction, though he said nothing.

Seeing this kid who was born into the Federation Clan, with an unruffled expression, one would think nothing in the world could faze him. But in the end, no matter how formidable the Federation Clan was, they were still no match for our Ninth Bureau’s Director.

Thinking this, Chen Feng viewed Zhang Beixing with even more approval, even for the first time with a hint of admiration.

For someone like Chen Feng, who had diligently battled his way to becoming a Great Grandmaster, he held immense pride, and ordinary people could scarcely catch his eye. Even someone like Zhang Beixing, who in every respect surpassed him, had earned only his respect. This sense of admiration was a first, and even Chen Feng himself hadn’t realized it.

"Alright, I understand your predicament. I’ll find a way to solve it for you, but remember this isn’t for the Federation Clan. It’s because this creature was created by the BE Organization, and I have other uses for him."

Zhang Beixing didn’t let Richard linger too long in uncertainty, finally speaking slowly.

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Richard was initially momentarily pleased, then doused with cold water, realizing for the first time that his proudly upheld family held little utility, a disparity that truly made Richard feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Beixing certainly understood Richard’s current emotions, but he did this intentionally. Zhang Beixing was aware that although Richard had run to him to become a subordinate, he still harbored the pride of someone born into the Federation Clan, evident from the extravagant gift card he presented upon their first meeting. Although it wouldn’t immediately hinder Richard’s usefulness to him, who knew what kind of influence such an attitude might have in the future.
