Chapter 406: Chapter 309 William Marshall

Tang Qi’s vision blurred as a scene played out before him.

It was inside a messy room, where two figures confronted each other. One seemed to be the owner of the room, dressed in a white lab coat, wearing glasses, with hair as messy as a bird’s nest. He appeared to be a scientist, except his body bore a remarkably real wooden texture, as if he wasn’t quite a human but rather a Tree-man.

“Professional Transcendent, Tree-man Dr. Rod, transformed into a special form by an accident, was granted powerful Extraordinary Power, which did not affect his intellect. He is employed by a Neutral Organization, the Truth Eye Association.”

As the corresponding information flashed through Tang Qi’s mind.

In the video, that Tree-man had already taken the initiative to move against the other, even stranger Human Figure.

This Transcendent named Rod seemed to harness Extraordinary Power. In an instant, countless lush, thick vines sprouted and wrapped around the “invader.”

At this moment also did Tang Qi discern the true nature of that Human Figure.

Various colors of paint were mixed together and under the influence of some power, coalesced into a middle-aged man. However, that power seemed to be fading constantly, and the colorful paint dripped down, continually polluting Dr. Rod’s floor.

Faced with the assault of numerous vines, the painted figure merely cocked his head and waved a hand, causing the vines that should have kept growing to suddenly regress and retract into Dr. Rod’s body.

While Dr. Rod was in a dazed state, the painted figure appeared before him without warning, reaching out his arms and embracing Dr. Rod.

The next second, the outcome emerged.

Dr. Rod’s body suddenly stiffened, and then his eyes began to dim. Even through the video, one could feel Dr. Rod’s life essence fading away. He was dead.

At the end of the video, the painted figure slowly placed the Tree-man, who had become like a tree, onto the lab table.

Subsequently, the painted figure took out a Small Knife from within and began to carve.

A leisurely motion, finishing right before the hourglass ran out. A new “body” was born, as the painted figure slowly melted away into a puddle of filthy paint, while on the lab table, the Tree-man was resurrected.

It was no longer Dr. Rod’s appearance, however, but that middle-aged man’s.

He stepped down, one step at a time, without a single mistake, walking towards the outside of the house.

Just as he was about to step out of the house, suddenly, he slowly turned his head. He looked over.

“Boom~Sizzle sizzle”

The video cut off instantly.

“Huff~”

Staring at the empty air before him, Tang Qi’s mind seemed still locked in a stare with a pair of emotionless eyes.

Those eyes, unlike Worsman’s indifferent, bloodthirsty demeanor, Tang Qi could tell, were definitely not the eyes of a human.

“An Extraordinary Monster of unknown nature!”

Tang Qi silently mused to himself.

Unimaginably fast, Tang Qi felt the benefits of cooperating with the Investigation Bureau.

Witness the World!

What was just a routine intelligence sharing session had already broadened Tang Qi’s horizons.

Before this, Tang Qi had never seen, nor even imagined in any book of Extraordinary Books, that such Biological creatures could exist.

After the Hourglass Monster, there were other Danger Sources related to Secret Phoenix City.

Originally intending to just glance and let it be, now he found himself wanting to investigate further.

However, at this time, he had an even more important task at hand.

Setting aside the report gently, Tang Qi’s gaze returned to his side, where Worsman stood still like a statue.

Exhaling a breath, he immediately reached for the special Magic Device.

Picking up the receiver, a surge of Magic Power flowed into it, and immediately, a familiar albeit somewhat stiff voice came through.

Mr. Berenson’s face automatically came to Tang Qi’s mind.

After the train incident, understanding the temperament of this strong-willed individual, Tang Qi didn’t beat around the bush.

Tang Qi spoke directly: “I accidentally stumbled upon a sudden event that involves an Extraordinary Organization, and I think you should know…”

“Huff!”

After Tang Qi shared the Angel Potion, Mrs. Anderson and related speculations through the receiver.

On the other end, Tang Qi sensed some subtle changes.

Mr. Berenson’s breathing quickened slightly.

“Ten minutes from now, I will visit personally.”

From the other end of the Magic Device, Mr. Berenson’s voice, now stern, transmitted.

Clicking off the receiver, Tang Qi didn’t ponder how Mr. Berenson would arrive at the Witch School within ten minutes; as a leader of a special unit within the FBI, it was natural for him to have exceptional channels and power.

Before the workbench, Tang Qi pondered for a few seconds, then picked up another phone.

This time, the voice that came from the other end of the receiver was kind: “Hello, this is Rafael.”

…

Ten minutes later, in a clandestine meeting room of Dragon Heart Castle.

Tang Qi sat upright in a high-backed chair, seriously perusing internal federal wanted reports, when he seemed to sense something.

With a sudden wave of his hand, a portal opened in the meeting room, Guiding in several figures.

At the forefront was none other than Mr. Berenson, who Tang Qi was meeting for the first time.

Previously, over a screen, Tang Qi had only seen Mr. Berenson’s upper body.

Now face-to-face, the stiff, solemn aura Tang Qi felt was even more intense.

“A parent-figure strong leader!”

Tang Qi felt a certain impression deepening in his mind.

Mr. Berenson, also a newcomer to Dragon Heart Castle, looked towards the giant-like figure Worsman the moment he arrived.

Then, his gaze, filled with a bone-chilling coldness, swiftly shifted to the few other figures in the room, apart from Tang Qi.

Rafael, Jason, and an old man who simply could not be ignored.

In terms of demeanor, both Jason and Rafael were top-notch.

But at this moment, anyone looking at the three would probably notice the old man first.

A noble! He was dressed in traditional gentleman’s attire, complete with white leather gloves, a white scarf, a black hat, and meticulously groomed semi-long white hair, which included his white beard covering his chin and upper lip. Below a pair of bushy black eyebrows were his razor-sharp eyes.

In Secret Phoenix City’s Mysterious Side, Tang Qi was a rising big shot.

But he was not the only one; he was merely at the bottom.

Before Tang Qi, there were many other names enough to strike terror into the hearts of those evil creatures.

This elderly gentleman was one of them.

Agent Director of the Ancient Castle Bureau.

William Marshall!

At the same time, he was Old Coulson’s brother.

In fact, the Ancient Castle Bureau’s headquarters, William Castle, originally belonged to the William family, but was donated by the current head of the family to serve as the base for Secret Phoenix State’s official Extraordinary Institution.

And in this generation, what should have been a declining William family gave birth to three powerful Professionals; they were brothers.

Tang Qi had already met two of them, Old Coulson and the current one in front of him, Marshall.

The latter’s personality was somewhat similar to Mr. Berenson’s—stiff and serious, only differing in their approach.

And the strength of the two?

Tang Qi was observing that now.

Without any surprises, Tang Qi sensed resistance.

The terrifying strength of the two was only a minor factor in why Tang Qi wasn’t able to instantly see those Information Fragments. Perhaps it was because both occupied high positions and carried some high-level wonders that could interfere with detection.

Tang Qi’s Special Ability could bypass the unknown, high-level wonders and forcibly analyze them.

But at a cost—being detected by the two men.

If they were enemies, detection wouldn’t matter.

But now, as allies, Tang Qi naturally wouldn’t act recklessly.

Just as he managed to take in a few pitiful but crucial Information Fragments, the two men, having exchanged glances, simultaneously extended their palms.

“Long time no see, Mr. Berenson.”

“Marshall!”

Clearly, it wasn’t the first time the two had met.

However, both lived up to their rigid temperaments, maintaining an unsmiling expression even while greeting each other.

Aside from them, everyone else felt the atmosphere grow a bit awkward.

Tang Qi winked at Rafael and Jason standing behind William Marshall. As they showed helpless expressions, Tang Qi suddenly got up, turned to Mr. Berenson and the few researchers behind him, who were now showing curiosity; they were dressed in white uniforms.

Mr. Berenson showed a hint of surprise when Tang Qi invited over people from the Ancient Castle Bureau but didn’t voice any objections.

Although from a “jurisdictional” standpoint, the Shepherd Sect or the Leckter incident belonged to the FBI.

But the discovery site was after all in Secret Phoenix State.

And the Discoverer was Tang Qi.

Compared to the Investigation Bureau, with whom they had just established a cooperative relationship, the relationship between Witch School and the Ancient Castle Bureau was much more profound.

If the truth turns out to be what Tang Qi suspects.

Then the organizations to be involved in the future won’t be limited to just the Federation and the Ancient Castle Bureau.

Other states and even the massive Bright Church will be implicated. Especially the Bright Church—the previous Sect and their so-called “Evil Flower Potion” that developed the Hounds did not catch their attention.

Now, however, it was a different story.

Tang Qi even believed that if he leaked the effects of the “Angel Potion” to the Church, it would be enough to alarm the headquarters of the Bright Church.

Indeed, when Tang Qi caught a glimpse of the conspiracy behind the Angel Potion through the information in Worsman’s mind, he immediately realized that this case wasn’t something he could take the lead on.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to drag the Federation and the Ancient Castle Bureau into this.

“Let’s begin!”

At Tang Qi’s command, the dazed Worsman obediently sat down, and then Tang Qi gestured to the researchers from the Investigation Bureau to proceed.

Following him, Mr. Berenson also nodded his head.

The next moment, a total of five researchers in white uniforms stepped forward, each carrying a black case. Upon opening it, several strange devices were revealed inside. They took out the devices and began installing them around Worsman.

The primary focus was on his head.

When official action is taken, it naturally cannot rely solely on the information provided by Tang Qi.

What’s happening now is the essential verification process.

“Are they going to… read memories?”

Not only Tang Qi, but Jason and Rafael as well, looked curiously at Mr. Berenson’s subordinates, who were engaged in futuristic-seeming yet somehow unnerving actions.
