Chapter 1191: Section 728: Facing (Part 2)_2

·Slave, I have her true name.

Ails said without looking back, then walked over to the insider. He lowered his head, using his mouth to lightly bite Mr. Insider’s ear as his eerie whispers swept across the entire interrogation room.

·Hehehe, I just love friends like you. Don’t worry, I am a very skilled Lich. Before I decided to become human again, I performed thousands of skin surgeries using goblin test subjects. I will definitely peel your skin without missing a piece, rest assured, it won’t hurt too much.

The deputy director demonstrated the prowess of a disciple of the "Cover Crotch Faction" in that moment.

Sage Yu chuckled.

Malin reached out to rub his forehead.

Mr. Insider let out a miserable cry: "I’ll talk! I’ll say everything! Don’t let this demon do that! A man can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Ails looked up at Malin.

Malin nodded.

Ails spread his hands. If he had facial skin, it would surely be filled with lingering satisfaction at this moment.

Malin led Sage Yu and the deputy director downstairs, and sat before Mr. Insider, seating himself on the chair woven from the World Tree Sapling: "Alright, Mr. Insider, what do you believe in?"

Mr. Insider, looking as if he had barely escaped death, replied sweating profusely: "I am a follower of Shafu."

"Just as expected." Sage Yu smiled, took out a cigarette, and handed it over: "You have nothing to do with the people who entered the city, right?"

"Who would be related to those lunatics," Mr. Insider said after taking the cigarette and accepting the deputy director’s light. He took a deep drag and sighed: "Our sect heard about this incident. The sect leader asked me to investigate some information. I came and then inexplicably got found out."

"Listen, even our enemies’ enemies heard earlier than us. It seems your spies have a problem, Sage Yu."

"When things are settled here, I will definitely unite with Sage Duanmu and Sage Zhao to conduct a questioning at the intelligence agency." Sage Yu said this, then looked at the insider: "Tell us about your sect, its location, and personnel composition, and I will give you a swift end, how about that?"

"I’m just a subordinate member. I only know my sect is the Sect of Joy, location unknown, personnel composition unknown, the leader sends messages each time through the public mailbox at Wen San Road number 2941." Mr. Insider answered, also mentioning some methods for sending messages, all basic measures to ensure safety.

Malin nodded: "He’s not lying."

Since this guy wasn’t lying and was just a subordinate member, he can escape the death penalty but washing away memories and lifelong labor in stone quarry is inevitable suffering.

"Better let me die." Mr. Insider cried out as he was dragged away.

Malin turned to Ails: "I’d like to borrow your succubus."

·There’s no problem in using it, but don’t inject inside it; I think your bodily fluids might have a lethal effect on the succubus.

Having said this, Ails was slapped against the wall by a Psychic Palm from Malin.

"What I mean is to have your succubus disguise as this insider to deliver messages to that public mailbox." Malin said impatiently, turning to look at the succubus, who immediately shrank into a ball upon Malin’s gaze.

Am I really that terrifying now?

Malin asked himself, failing to find an answer, and ultimately left the handling of this matter to Sage Yu and Ails, meanwhile he, alongside the deputy director, went to find the City Guardian.

The City Guardian was an old man, upon hearing the issue, assigned his eldest son to lead the City Guards along with Malin, Sage Qian joined midway, and the party grandly began distributing warmth in the rich district.

Of course, on the surface, it was an annual routine surprise inspection, given the precedence of past years, the folks in rich district couldn’t say much.

Of course, some still doubted Malin’s presence, wondering how matters of New Hangzhou fell to an outsider. Such short-sighted youths were promptly smacked against the wall by their elders— the old generation recognized the Malin standing beside Sage Qian.

Although the appearance seemed different from last time at the Meng residence, with certain power, physical appearance no longer serves as the basic verification means, Malin did not deliberately disguise himself, and once eyes fell on the World Tree Sapling bracelet on Malin’s wrist, no one doubted why he was there anymore.

After visiting two households, the City Lord’s eldest son noted that among encounters in rich district, this was the most compliant response during a surprise inspection he’d seen.

Thanks to Malin.

This middle-aged man repeatedly attributed success to Malin.

Malin, of course, wouldn’t foolishly indulge in such flattery— Malin am I, not one inclined to tyranny.

But couldn’t resist when the deputy director and Sage Qian joined in, everyone bragged together, Malin swimming in modesty, the journey folded in joy.

At the entrance of third house, Malin saw the person emerging and he chuckled— wasn’t this the young lad from the Li household from that day at Meng residence.

Hmm, Li residence, suits being the third.

Young Li initially out, stupefied at the throng, instinctively hand on hip: "Isn’t this the eldest son of City Lord’s family, why bring so many people?"

Not recognizing Malin, Malin figured all right, failing to know the deputy director perhaps due to insufficient level, but why couldn’t this lad recognize Sage Qian too.

Malin pondering, the City Lord’s eldest son coldly snorted: "I host this New Hangzhou surprise inspection, what do you think I’m doing here."

Young Li, momentarily awkward, snickered: "Oh, it’s a surprise inspection, let me notify the old master in the family."

This remark made Malin nod— the lad is perceptive, also deepening Malin’s understanding of how powerful the words ’surprise inspection’ are.

You see, Young Li can be snarky with City Lord’s eldest son, but upon mention of surprise inspection, the attitude shifts to compliant, these words seemingly hold genuine ’magic’, a potent kind.

Soon, Old Master Li arrived, surveying the scene, scratched his face: "Sage Qian, has the small brat in my family stirred trouble, provide a name, I’ll break his limbs and send him."

Grinning, Sage Qian shook his head: "What are you saying, I’m just here for the spectacle today."

"Then Director Zhang, why have you come?" Old Master Li turned to the deputy director.

The deputy director pointed at Malin: "You see, His Highness doesn’t quite know the way, I’m merely accompanying him."

The mention of ’His Highness’, half the people in the courtyard audibly inhaled, Young Li who had been eyeing Malin slapped his face.

Thus Old Master Li turned to Malin: "Oh, I say, Lord Malin, you wouldn’t come without reason, has some disgraceful child in my family done deplorable deeds, betrayed this city, or failed this city’s people."

Malin smiled awkwardly: "No, I come with duty, for inspection, your family is all present, correct?"

Upon Malin’s words, Old Master Li withdrew his smile, glancing at family: "All... wait, Old Four, where’s your treasured grandson!"

"I’m here, just sat in the toilet." A youth dashed over.

Malin’s eyes sparkled: "Old Master Li, is this your..." "My fourth son’s eldest grandson, fifteen years old, powerful in Spiritual Energy."

"Hmm, indeed strong, even possessed by Black Librarian." Malin’s words barely done, pulled the lad near him.

While everyone dazed, Malin’s right hand thrust into the lad’s abdomen.

To the youngster’s like-a-pig-being-slaughtered scream, pulled out a fleshy lump from his stomach.

"You hurt my grandson! I’ll kill you!" An elderly man charged out.

Only to be struck into the pool on the far side of courtyard by Old Master Li.

The father may not see, but the old man clearly observes, joy covering the great-grandson’s face, no injury on abdomen.

While the piece of blood reeking filth Malin threw bears stench.

Evidently, Malin isn’t killing, but saving.

Li household owes a significant favor.
