Chapter 207 The Whereabouts of the Last Dragon Ball
Longhu Mountain, the back mountain.
Zhang Zhiwei, who had just returned from the Northeast region, heard from a young Taoist boy that Lu Jin was already waiting for him at the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Although they are close, they are mostly busy with their own things and generally do not meet up.
Zhang Zhiwei knew very well why Lu Jin had come to see him today, and he sighed and said.
"Hey, Lao Lu, I never expected you to apply to go to Nathan Island. Are you still hung up on the past?"
Lu Jin knew that the "things" Zhang Zhiwei was referring to were the past events of the San Yi Sect.
"The past is not so easy to let go of, and my trip to Nathan Island is to resolve the issues between Li Muxuan and me."
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lu Jin, whose eyes were firm, raised his hand, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.
If this had happened in the past, he would have let Lu Jin do as she pleased.
Whether Lu Jin wants to fight Li Muxuan to the death or simply enjoy drinks together, it is Lu Jin's own choice.
According to the previous rules of the world of supernatural beings, Li Muxuan, as a member of Quanxing, did not have many human rights. Even if Lu Jin and Li Muxuan had no hatred between them, no one would say anything no matter how things turned out between Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, who were both members of the Ten Elders, as long as they were prepared.
But now everything is different.
The current Li Muxuan is no longer the Li Muxuan of "Quanxing", but the Li Muxuan of "Nasen Island".
Given that Li Muxuan is the maternal grandfather of King Nathan and that the first overseas military base is about to be established, his identity is quite sensitive.
Moreover, in the events that happened to the Sanyi Sect, Li Muxuan could at most be considered a trigger; the main responsibility for the sect's demise certainly cannot be attributed to him.
Even if Lu Jin wanted revenge, he wouldn't be able to find his fault.
Lu Jin is not in a good position, either legally or emotionally.
If we insist on causing trouble for Li Muxuan, it is very likely that we will be criticized and that this will have a negative impact on the reputation of the country and the Lu family.
If he insists on causing trouble for Li Muxuan, even the government might intervene to stop him.
Looking at Zhang Zhiwei's expression, Lu Jin could guess what he was going to say.
"I know what you're going to say. Don't worry, after watching the video about the truth behind the destruction of the Trinity Sect, I no longer hate Li Muxuan as much as I did at the beginning."
"I only went to see him this time to confirm one thing, and it won't cause any problems."
"I don't know when I'll be able to return from Nathan Island. I came to see you today just to say goodbye. What are you thinking?"
Hearing Lu Jin's assurance, Zhang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't want to see his old friend suffer a bad end in the final days of his life.
"Hahaha, it's my fault, it's my fault."
……
Ever since the old master left that day, Gao Erzhuang has been using his abilities to search for the whereabouts of the last dragon ball.
But the last Dragon Ball seemed to have sunk into the sea; Gao Erzhuang couldn't find it at all!
On the day Behemoth was attacked, the attackers cleaned up the mess very well, leaving no trace in the vicinity. Gao Erzhuang searched for a long time but found no clues.
Unconvinced by the superstition, Gao Erzhuang decided to change her search method. Instead of looking for clues at the scene of the attack, she turned to searching among Behemoth's adversaries.
She first listed all the forces that had a grudge against Behemoth and all the people who had a grudge against the swordsman who stole the Dragon Balls from Behemoth.
Gao Erzhuang first checked the whereabouts of all of them on the day of the incident, but did not find any suitable clues.
She then installed surveillance cameras among these people to monitor their every move.
Finally, perseverance paid off, and Gao Erzhuang actually found a clue!
……
Headquarters of Nadutong.
As a light knock came from outside the door, Huang Boren, the director of Nadutong, happily entered Zhao Fangxu's office.
"Chairman Zhao! The whereabouts of the last Dragon Ball have been found!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangxu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "How did you find it? Didn't Erzhuang say he couldn't find it before?"
Huang Boren quickly explained.
"Although we don't have conclusive evidence yet, we're pretty sure that the last Dragon Ball is in the hands of the debt collectors!"
"After Erzhuang recovered a few days ago, her abilities were also fully enhanced! She listened to all the suspicious individuals at once and finally overheard a boastful conversation from one of the debt collectors!"
Huang Boren took out his phone from his pocket, pressed play, and a voice message came out.
"If only we could intercept Behemoth's men like last time! We've been waiting for that damned swordsman for so long, and we finally caught him!"
"Chairman Zhao, Behemoth doesn't have many swordsmen to begin with. We've checked all the swordsmen in Behemoth, and the only one who's died is the one who participated in the sword-testing tournament last time!"
After listening to the voice message, Zhao Fangxu nodded, although he had long suspected that the people who attacked Behemoth were debt collectors.
After all, there aren't many forces in the world that dare to take action against Behemoth, and the debt collectors are one of the rare exceptions.
However, they had never had concrete evidence to prove this before. If you directly ask the debt collectors if they did it, they will definitely not admit it.
Now that we have this voice assistant, things are much more convenient.
Zhao Fangxu looked at Huang Boren and praised him.
"Well done, Bo Ren. You've worked hard. This last Dragon Ball is in your hands. Go and contact the debt collectors and find a way to exchange the Dragon Ball for it privately. As long as they don't make any unreasonable demands, you can agree to them."
With Zhao Fangxu's nod, Huang Boren nodded excitedly and said.
"Don't worry, Chairman Zhao, leave it to me! I will definitely bring back the last Dragon Ball."
……
After leaving Zhao Fangxu's office, Huang Boren immediately began preparing for negotiations with the debt collectors.
He didn't know much about the debt collectors. Most of the time, Zhao Fangxu himself had been the one dealing with these foreign supernatural organizations. In order to facilitate the negotiations later, he needed to check the debt collectors' information first.
As for the debt collectors, Huang Boren only knew that they were Behemoth's old enemies.
Led by a guy named Edmund, the organization's internal symbol is a red, tearful smiley face, which can be clearly found on members' clothing, armbands, and hoods.
Although he didn't know much, the only thing he was certain of was that anyone who dared to oppose Behemoth was a group of desperate criminals!
Threats alone are not enough; they must be given sufficient benefits.
If you can't find their rules and bottom line, it's definitely impossible to get the Dragon Balls from them.
