Chapter 383: 383 Transcendent Woman’s Background, Mysterious Jidao Leader! [1 more update]

Top-tier families also have world-class secrets in their hands, secrets unknown to ordinary people, yet the members of these families are well acquainted with them early on.

Things like inner strength, Gu art, and psychic powers... in the real elite circles, these are not secrets at all.

Since no physical cause could be found, it must be that the soul has been damaged.

This was also the reason why the Si Family sought out the Supernatural Affairs Office.

"I’ll go take a look then," Wen Chaosheng rubbed his head, "Is this urgent? I’m currently hosting guests."

"Hosting what guests?" The other party was stunned and then burst into fury, "You little rascal, you live in a basement, using your basement to host guests? Aren’t you disgracing our Supernatural Affairs Office?!"

"Hey, boss, that’s not right," Wen Chaosheng argued reasonably, "My basement is 400 square meters, how is it worse than a villa? Besides, it has good concealment and defenses. In case of an aerial explosion, mine is the only safe place!"

The other party: "..."

Quite reasonable, he couldn’t refute it.

"It’s not urgent, you can go tomorrow," the other party sighed. "Chaosheng, I have high hopes for you, so this simple task was assigned to you right away. Don’t disappoint me. The election for the head of the office day after tomorrow..."

"Boss, hello? What did you say? My signal is bad, I didn’t hear you clearly!" Wen Chaosheng deflected, "You see, this mobile service provider at the Global Center really has poor service. They should consider us who live in basements."

The other party gritted his teeth: "Wen, Chaosheng!"

"Boss, I really can’t hear you clearly." Wen Chaosheng feigned ignorance and added a few more words, "Got the task, I’m hanging up now."

He ended the call, feeling refreshed.

Christine, with her keen hearing, had heard the entire conversation. "Today you mentioned in the group that you wanted to replace the director, and your boss wants you to run for election, why aren’t you listening now?"

"Hey, hey, I was just saying. Being the director is too tiring." Wen Chaosheng waved his hand, "I’m just a salted fish, slacking off and messing around at work, that’s the life I want."

"The Si Family." Christine nodded slightly, "I visited them last month, and indeed, they mentioned this matter."

Among the Four Major Families at the Global Center, the Si Family is the oldest, with a family history over a hundred years longer than the Constans Family.

The Si Family has always been low-key, but being low-key doesn’t mean they lack strength.

On the contrary, as an ancient family that moved from Shenzhou, the Si Family is unfathomable.

"Not interested." Wen Chaosheng shrugged his shoulders. "I’ll go take a look tomorrow, but I guess the Si Family is just panicked. If there really was a problem with the soul, something major would have happened by now."

Christine nodded and continued eating Delicious Crisp.

The television broadcasted the news—

"[This report, a large group of mercenaries was discovered in the forest outside the main city. Our reporter was about to approach them when they encountered people from Extreme Path. It’s preliminarily assumed that these mercenaries were involved in illegal activities and were discovered by Extreme Path...]"

The screen showed a video from a bird’s-eye view where a ring of thick trees had been cut off mid-trunk, and leaves were scattered all over the ground.

On the clearing, nearly a hundred mercenaries lay down, apparently unconscious or dead.

"Clang," a knife fell from Wen Chaosheng’s hand onto the chopping board.

He stuttered, "Rich Sister, this... this couldn’t have been done by Sister Wanlan, could it!"

Christine frowned and watched the entire news insert. She hesitated for a moment, but was firm, "Definitely not. Although Sister Wanlan’s actions are very bold, she is definitely not this violent."

"Huh?" Wen Chaosheng doubted he heard right. "Rich Sister, are... are you—"

Before he could finish, he received Christine’s murderous glance.

Thus, he had to swallow back the words "Putting Sister Wanlan on too high a pedestal."

At the moment, the group was also discussing this news.

[Crazy Scientist]: Who could it be? Knocked down so many mercenaries at once? Why do I suspect it was someone among you?

[Cultured Person]: Definitely not me. I am a cultured person.

[Deadly Poison Master]: Well, I could have done it, but I’m currently on a business trip in a tropical rainforest, too busy, huh.

[Crazy Scientist]: Neither do I. Although I could have, if I had taken action, there wouldn’t even be bodies left.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: ?

Sister Ye Wanlan calmly sent this message and put her phone aside.

Having witnessed the whole incident and reviewed the news, Jiang Xulin opened his mouth in shock, "You... how do you even know people from Extreme Path?"

The name Extreme Path is well-known in the Global Center.

No one knows the true purpose of Extreme Path; its members are both righteous and evil, but their methods are as the name implies—utterly extreme.

Yet, Extreme Path is revered by ordinary citizens of the Global Center because it has helped them expand their living space without oppression from the powerful.

Although 99% of the power and resources in the Global Center are held by 1% of the population, if the 99% unite, their strength is immense.

Over the years, the major forces in the Global Center have tacitly allowed Extreme Path to exist.

Even the organizers of the supreme conferences have invited the Extreme Path leader, it’s just unfortunate that this leader’s domain is too mysterious and has never appeared in public.

"I don’t know them." Ye Wanlan calmly sipped her tea. "It’s just a coincidence."

Jiang Xulin snorted, "You can fool Fang Qingli with that kind of talk."

He began to suspect that Ye Wanlan might be the illegitimate daughter of the Extreme Path leader.

"What do you mean?" Fang Qingli erupted, "Are you saying I’m gullible like a child?"

Jiang Xulin: "..."

He hadn’t been that blunt.

"Tomorrow is the last day of this fashion show, there’s another runway in the morning, and the closing ceremony in the afternoon," Ye Wanlan said, tapping her fingers on the table, her voice steady, "Now they’ve tried various means, although failed, but they will not easily let up."

Fang Qingli was furious: "Using such despicable methods when skilled enough, truly disgraceful."

Today, Sister Ye Wanlan had killed nearly a hundred mercenaries within moments, and people from Extreme Path also appeared, making those brands with ulterior motives afraid to continue on the path of assassination.

Still, there would surely be new methods.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes deepened.

Indeed, living in the Global Center was harder than hard.

She closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.

Indeed, she had not yet come to terms with those four years taken away by the Transcendent Woman.

Not to say four years, even four months were enough to accomplish a lot.

Time was becoming more pressing for her.

"Sister Lan, no matter what, we will protect Pulling the Sky," Fang Qingli said determinedly. "Shenzhou culture absolutely does not allow anyone to steal."

As they were planning for the unforeseen incidents of tomorrow, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Xulin went to open it, and standing outside were a middle-aged man dressed like a housekeeper and two servants.

He furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Don’t waste your efforts, we definitely will not join any company."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was startled, then smiled, "Mr. Jiang, you misunderstand. I am sent by the Si Family; the lady is very fond of your company’s designs and specially commanded me to discuss cooperation."

"Si Family?" Jiang Xulin was taken aback.

This was one of the Four Major Families in the Global Center, actually coming in person to visit?

"Our Si Family and you all share the same ancestor, I find myself quite fond of you all too," the Si Housekeeper smiled even wider, "Your company’s designs use ancient Shenzhou methods, the lady wants to customize a whole set of jewelry and garments. Please rest assured, money is not an issue."

Fang Qingli and Jiang Xulin both looked towards Ye Wanlan.

Following their gaze, the Si Housekeeper’s expression shook!
