Chapter 114 Triple Agents
Chapter 114 Triple Agent (4K!)
The day's classes ended quickly.
However, until Russell left school, Mr. Chai from the Battle Club did not inform him that someone had challenged him.
He originally thought that there would definitely be students today who would challenge him because they thought he won by luck.
"Could it be that Sister Lie is acting too scary?"
Russell scratched his head and thought.
In fact, he was thinking wrongly. Although Unohana Retsu's information was indeed exposed, the half-collapsed ruins of the battle platform on the top of the mountain were still clearly visible there for a whole day.
Those who want to challenge him will always weigh their own abilities first after seeing that scene.
Besides, hasn’t Guan Jie’s card information been exposed more than his? And he has never been challenged much?
If you want to challenge Russell, you must defeat Guan Jie first.
At the school gate, Russell was about to go home when he thought of Wu Di, whom he had met in the secret realm of "Night Banquet" before.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go find Miao Xuan to ask about Wu Di.
Although Miao Xuan said that the Qi Ling Society would reduce contact with him in the future, she didn't say that he couldn't go to Miao Xuan to gather information.
Besides, if he was really discovered, Russell could just say he went to a brothel.
Only his personal reputation might be damaged a little.
Well, in this world, going to a brothel might not even be a big deal.
Of course, this refers to people in society who have graduated and are working.
"Top students from Nanjing University also go to brothels"
Russell listened to the taxi driver's words without changing his expression and came to the Yichun Institute headquarters.
"Uncle Luo, you are here."
"Do you need me to arrange two girls for you?"
It was the familiar madam who showed a flattering smile on her face when she saw Russell.
Russell waved his hand when he heard this: "I'm here to see Mr. Miao, you just go about your business."
The madam hunched over and watched Russell get on the elevator.
A heavily made-up girl nearby showed a curious look when she saw this: "Mom, who is this?"
The madam glanced at the girl and said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
"All you need to know is that Uncle Luo is the small boss of our Yichunyuan."
This was Miaoxuan's instruction to her.
The girl shut her mouth. Although she had only been in Yichunyuan for a short time, she had already developed a keen eye.
Since the madam said so, she wouldn't ask any more questions.
After all, as ordinary people, sometimes knowing things that you shouldn’t know can lead to fatal disasters.
"Why are you here?"
In the rooftop office, Miaoxuan was swiping her tablet out of boredom.
Nandu is not like Shanghai after all. As the head of the Qiling Society in Nandu, she has very few daily things to do.
"I want to ask you something." Russell sat down on the sofa. "Wu Di, have you heard of this name?"
Hearing this, Miao Xuan put down the tablet in her hand and looked straight at Russell with her charming eyes: "What? Did you run into him?"
"As expected." Russell's heart sank.
Since Miao Xuan said this, it must be that she had not just heard of the other person's name, but had actually come into contact with the other person.
Russell immediately recounted what happened at the "Night Banquet".
Of course, he only gave a brief talk about things like card battles.
Miao Xuan listened to Russell's story quietly, with a strange look on her face: "I really didn't expect you to meet him so early."
"Should I say you are lucky or unlucky?"
But thinking that Russell got a set of materials from Wu Di for free, Miao Xuan still attributed him to being lucky: "Do you want to know why Wu Di is hostile to you?"
Russell nodded.
That's what he came for.
In addition, I would like to find out whether the Qiling Society has any connection with the imperial court.
Seeing Russell nod, Miao Xuan showed a sly smile on her face: "Beg me and I will tell you."
Hearing this, Russell was speechless: "Is it fun to always play this kind of routine?"
"You don't really want an old cow to eat young grass, do you?"
Miao Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily, "Tsk, it's meaningless."
"Wu Di tried to become Bai Yueming's apprentice a few years ago, but failed."
"You can find out if you ask around. There are quite a lot of people who know about this."
Russell nodded slightly, and finally he understood why he felt that Wu Di had some ill intentions towards him.
Although Wu Di was smiling the whole time when talking to him, he gave Russell the impression of a smiling tiger.
"You better be careful behind me. Wu Di is a petty person and he won't let it go." Miao Xuan picked up the tablet again, "Anything else?"
"There is indeed one more thing." Russell's hesitant voice sounded in the office, "Is there a rift between the court and the association?"
"Is there any chance we can do something?"
It was impossible for him to ask directly whether the Qiling Society was colluding with the imperial court, so he could only pretend to care about the development of the Qiling Society and ask indirectly.
However, just after he finished these words.
The office fell into silence.
Miaoxuan held the tablet steadily.
After a while, Miao Xuan asked in a dry voice: "How did you know?"
Russell knew that the other party was asking how he knew there was a rift between the court and the association. He couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's so obvious, you'd be a fool not to see it, right?"
After he finished speaking, he recounted the events of the Jiang Province Unified Examination and when he went to select the Welfare Secret Realm.
After listening to Russell's story, Miao Xuan couldn't help but mutter, "Don't you even want to act now?"
Miao Xuan thought he couldn't hear her muttering, but Russell, with the help of his arrogance, could still barely hear the other party's words: "Sure enough, the Qiling Society knew about this a long time ago."
Putting down the tablet in her hand, Miao Xuan said to Russell with a serious face: "The meeting will make the decision on this matter."
"Just don't spread it around."
Seeing Miaoxuan so serious, Russell nodded without changing his expression: "I understand."
"There's nothing else left, so I'll leave first."
Silently watching Russell leave, Miao Xuan sighed: "I don't know if the club's plan can be caught up."
Outside Yichun Courtyard, Russell was thinking about what Miaoxuan had just said.
Miaoxuan's attitude itself tells one thing.
The Qiling Society had long known about the discord between the imperial court and the association.
As for whether the Qiling Society has any connection with the imperial court.
Russell tends to have.
Otherwise, upon receiving this kind of news, the first reaction of the Qi Ling Society should be to sow discord and add fuel to the fire in order to gain benefits.
But at the moment, Miao Xuan's words meant to keep quiet.
After all, if they really wanted to sow discord, Russell's identity would definitely be a very useful pawn. He didn't think the Qi Ling Society would continue to let him slack off.
Of course, it is also possible that the Qi Ling Society wants to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers.
But Russell was prepared to assume the worst.
"It's just that my identity is a bit dangerous now."
Bai Yueming's disciple and the traitor of the Qiling Society.
Russell is now caught between three forces. "I always feel like if I'm not careful, I might get knocked over."
Thinking of this, Russell sighed. In the final analysis, he was too weak.
The silver level is far from enough for him to protect himself in the face of such a powerful force.
Russell silently felt his own mental strength. It would take time to break through to the gold level.
"Let's first think of a way to upgrade our arrogance."
Now that he had made the decision, Russell began to count the materials that the Qi Ling Society had given him.
"Silver-level [Devil's Lone Star] (gold), silver-level [Demon Hunter] (purple), silver-level [Blood of Resurrection] (gold), silver-level [Power Demon] (gold)."
“That’s quite a lot.”
Russell has been carrying these materials with him since he got them.
He now plans to use the silver-level [Blood of Resurrection] (gold) and the silver-level [Power Magic] (gold) to help Kuangwang advance.
"That still lacks one piece of material."
Russell immediately took out his cell phone.
[Russell: Mr. Wang, do you have any materials related to copying? I have a silver-level [Lesser Demon] (blue) and six million in cash. See if you can add them together to exchange for a purple silver-level material.]
After a while, Russell's cell phone vibrated.
[Mr. Wang, the AAA material wholesaler: Yes, it is a Silver-level [Horror Imitator] (Purple), and the ownership of the material is in our company’s hands, but]
[Russell: Mr. Wang, please state your conditions first. I will see if I can meet them before making a decision.]
Russell naturally understood that the other party was waiting for a good price, but he was not someone who would be manipulated by others, nor did he absolutely need this material.
At worst, he would shamelessly ask his senior sister or teacher for a copy of the material, and then return it to them after obtaining new material.
【Mr. Wang from AAA Material Wholesale: Interview.】
Looking at the words on the phone, Russell couldn't help but frowned.
But in the end he decided to meet Mr. Wang.
Summoning Pidgeot, Russell immediately flew towards Mr. Wang's company.
"Xiao Luo is here, sit down."
In the office, President Wang looked at Russell who came in a hurry and said enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Russell sighed inwardly: "If someone shows his kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."
Sighing, he said, "Mr. Wang, if you have any conditions, just tell me directly."
Seeing Russell being so straightforward, Mr. Wang was not angry.
He just poured himself a cup of tea, looking embarrassed.
"Xiao Luo, this matter of yours is a bit difficult to handle."
"Although I am the big boss, I still have to take care of the emotions of my subordinates."
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he still said obediently: "Yes, I can understand that it is not easy for Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wang showed a satisfied smile: "Xiao Luo, I'm glad you understand."
"but."
Hearing that things seemed to be turning around, Russell immediately showed an anxious look: "Mr. Wang, just tell me what conditions you have."
Of course, this was just Russell pretending. He also wanted to see what Mr. Wang was up to.
When Mr. Wang saw Russell's expression, he immediately spoke up, but he wasn't talking about the material: "Xiao Luo, you should know that you have to do an internship in your junior year, right?"
"In schools like yours, Nanjing University, students in the card-making department are free to choose their internships after their junior year."
Russell didn't know this. He thought internships were assigned by the school. He just didn't know why Mr. Wang brought this up.
The next moment, Mr. Wang revealed his true intentions: "I hope that when you do your internship in your junior year, Xiao Luo, you can choose a position related to the imperial court."
"Your talent has been demonstrated and has been noticed by all the officials in the court."
Hearing this, Russell's heart was in turmoil: "My goodness, is this President Wang a member of the imperial court?"
"Does Senior Sister know about this?"
Although he was shocked, Russell still hesitated and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"After all, the teacher probably wants me to join the association."
Mr. Wang naturally knew who Russell's teacher was.
But seeing Russell's appearance, Mr. Wang couldn't help but feel happy: "There's hope."
As long as there is no explicit refusal, it means there is still a chance to win them over.
Mr. Wang said disapprovingly: "Hey, Xiao Luo, you are wrong."
"Why would Master Bai care about such things?"
"Besides, even if he cares, I'm sure he will respect your own choice."
If Russell didn't know about the twists and turns between the Association, the Imperial Court, and the Spirit Begging Society, he might have believed Mr. Wang's lies.
But unfortunately, he knew it.
So Russell pretended to be hesitant, and after thinking it over again and again, he said, "This is not a good idea."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I still can't make a decision right now on such an important matter."
"Let's just forget about this material for now."
President Wang did not show any surprise at Russell's words. He just said, "It's okay, Xiao Luo, just think about it slowly."
"As for this material, consider it as my gift to you."
Russell remained calm as he took out his bank card and [Inferior Demon] (Blue) and said, "How about this, Mr. Wang, I'll buy this material."
Who knows if there will be any problems with the material handed over by the other party, so Russell is still prepared to make an honest deal.
Mr. Wang's expression remained unchanged as he took the bank card and materials from Russell and said, "Xiao Luo, you are just too polite. If it were me, I would just accept it."
As he spoke, he swiped five million from the card machine.
"Now you're satisfied."
Taking the materials handed over by Mr. Wang, Russell nodded and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will consider your proposal carefully when I return."
"I actually hope to work with the gentlemen in the court."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Russell naturally didn't mind painting a big pie for Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang smiled slightly on his fat face: "Then I will wait for your good news, Xiao Luo."
Mr. Wang was not disappointed that he failed to get Russell to agree directly today.
After all, the other party was Bai Yueming's disciple, and if he agreed directly, it would make him feel like something was fishy.
However, since Russell is now willing to accept his kindness of release, Mr. Wang is confident that he can make the other party completely side with the court in the coming period of time.
Unlike Russell’s senior brothers and sisters, they were as smelly and hard as stones in the toilet.
After all, compared to the association, positions in the imperial court were all lucrative, and they were located inland, so there was no need to risk one's life too much.
Both Russell and Mr. Wang felt that they had gained something from today's conversation. Russell had obtained some much-needed material, and Mr. Wang felt that he had successfully narrowed the distance between himself and Russell.
Everyone has a bright future.
After returning home, Russell looked at the silver-level [Blood of Resurrection] (gold), silver-level [Power Magic] (gold), and silver-level [Horror Imitator] (purple) in his hands, and couldn't help but smile.
"Next, it's time to strengthen your arrogance."
“I wonder what I can achieve with the help of my arrogance after it is promoted to the Silver level.”
As for what Mr. Wang said?
Russell forgot about the other party after he left the company.
