Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Unexpected Gratitude
Regarding the old gentleman’s recruitment, Tang Qi had anticipated it and intentionally used Stanna as a shield while “accidentally” leaking his talent in casting, although it was inconspicuous.
If Tang Qi could turn the Red Rhino into an Extraordinary Gun, he believed that this old gentleman would not formally invite him but would let Mr. Jason beside him tie him up and take him back to William Castle.
To manufacture Extraordinary Bullets, though there are two types, one can only say it is a talent.
Perhaps inside William Castle, such individuals are not lacking.
And from the beginning, Tang Qi had no intentions of joining any higher official institutions.
Perhaps by entering the so-called “Special Event Handling Bureau,” it could help Tang Qi avoid the threats from the Samra family. Even if things were exposed, if Tang Qi revealed his strong capabilities, obtaining shelter would be certain.
...
Perhaps, to win Tang Qi over, the official might even directly help him by treating the Samra family as a “special event” to be dealt with.
But after that, Tang Qi would be like selling himself to the official.
This, definitely, is not the life Tang Qi wants.
Having been reborn, Tang Qi is very much looking forward to the future.
And the “threat” in front of him, as Tang Qi gradually becomes stronger, is no longer so intense.
If it weren’t for avoiding any future troubles, actually Tang Qi could now take action and confront the temporarily vulnerable Samra family, except that Abu is a bit tricky; Tang Qi is confident he could kill all other members.
Since that’s the case, why should Tang Qi join the officials?
At this thought, Tang Qi has already thought of what to say, displaying a very polite smile, Tang Qi spoke: “Old sir, I only know a bit about mysterious knowledge, my casting techniques are also very rudimentary, most importantly, I do not plan to leave Messer City.”
“Although it is cold and somber, it is the city I am used to.”
“And, I believe the Messer Police Station still needs me.”
Each sentence, was spoken with very sincere intonation.
Jason, standing nearby, upon hearing Tang Qi actually refuse the invitation of the “Ancient Castle Bureau,” showed a flash of displeasure, but soon realized the person in front of him was a life-saver, hence, a guilty expression appeared.
Against him, Old Coulson, after being refused, showed no change in his expression, seeming to have anticipated such a result.
He maintained a gentle smile and said, “Don’t mind, you are a young man with convictions, which is good. Do you have any requests? Feel free to state them, if it is within my power, I was initially very willing to spend more time talking with a young person like you, but tonight, Jason and I must leave, by order of the castle.”
“Before we leave, I can offer you some help within my abilities.”
“Really?”
Hearing this, Tang Qi showed a surprised expression at the right moment.
Then he deliberately hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Old sir, I entered this field by chance, have encountered some Evil Spirits and Monsters, but I don’t know other information, such as what counts as an Extraordinary Human, how many there are, or other pieces of information. As a Seeker, I am very eager to acquire this knowledge.”
“Perhaps you could leave a telephone number with me so that I can consult you if you have some free time.”
This, this was Tang Qi’s request.
Very appropriate, just asking for a phone number.
Anyone would find it reasonable.
Upon hearing, Old Coulson indeed smiled and took out an exquisite business card but did not immediately hand it to Tang Qi. Instead, he pulled out a small booklet from his chest.

The booklet appeared to be made from some kind of animal hide, exquisite in craftsmanship, with a cover featuring a grand-looking castle.
At the bottom of the booklet, there was a line of small print: For internal use only, do not disclose.
Tang Qi’s mind immediately brimmed with speculations.
Then he saw Old Coulson hand him both the business card and the booklet, seemingly noticing Tang Qi’s hesitant expression. Old Coulson explained, “This booklet is used internally for training newcomers at the Ancient Castle Bureau; although it’s a secret, it’s not as significant as you might imagine.”
“Alright, accept it young man, Old Coulson always trusts his own judgment, and you are a trustworthy young man.”
“We should be going, Jason.”
Old Coulson swiftly stuffed the two items into Tang Qi’s hands before agilely boarding the carriage. Before getting in, he even smiled and waved at Tang Qi.
Jason was quick in his movements too, as he was responsible for driving.
However, before he got on, he swiftly reached inside his coat, pulled out something, and stuffed it into Tang Qi’s hands, saying with a smile, “This is a little token of appreciation, after all, you did save me once. If you ever want to spar with me, just call Old Coulson.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man leaped onto the carriage, and with a light command, the elegant and ancient carriage quickly drove away, pulled by two black horses, closely followed by a previously silent car.
As they passed by Tang Qi, he could still see the cold, stern faces of several black-clothed agents inside.
Soon, the secluded street outside the hospital was quiet again, devoid of any ghostly shadows except for Tang Qi.
“Wise and broad-minded old man, righteous young man.”
Tang Qi maintained a smile, watching the two depart.
The very brief contact was somewhat different from what Tang Qi had envisioned.
However, it could also be because Tang Qi himself was an Extraordinary Person.
Thus, he received such a mild and equal treatment from the two.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they could only see their mysterious silhouettes, like the chief still in the hospital and the group with Gideon. From beginning to end, neither of them intended to communicate with these individuals, mostly maintaining an “upper-class” attitude.
It was very natural and offended no one.
Perhaps because, originally, they were from two different worlds.
Maybe Old Coulson’s willingness to treat Stanna stemmed from seeing Stanna as a “useful body”.
The tight schedule of the two indicated that the Special Event Handling Bureau, also known as the “Ancient Castle Bureau,” must not have enough manpower to handle the core areas of Secret Phoenix City, and could not dispatch more personnel to assist Messer City and other counties.
As for some remote villages or small towns, they were left to fend for themselves.
Now that Messer City had Tang Qi and Stanna, perhaps in Old Coulson’s view, that was enough.
Whether it was truly enough?
Who knows, he just a non-combat consultant.
Tang Qi silently put away his smile, first placed the booklet and business card into his chest pocket, then shifted his gaze to his own palm.
There, lay an object.
The mysterious token of appreciation Jason gave him just before leaving.
Tang Qi didn’t have much expectation, but a surprise flashed across his face the first moment he glanced at it.
