Liu Long left. Only Li Hao remained at the top of the tower.
“Bait …,” Li Hao murmured softly. He understood Liu Long’s intention
He looked and spoke like a madman but he was an expert. He was open and frank about what he wanted. He had made it clear in his words that he was a person who valued friendship. He had emphasized that multiple times.
He wasn’t willing to investigate the mole in the law enforcement team because he didn’t want to doubt those he worked with.
Yes!
On this point, Liu Long had said several times that he was not willing to investigate the mole in the law enforcement team. In fact, this sentence was Liu Long’s statement.
I can’t bear to hurt those who betrayed me.
“I help you solve the case and you help me in return,” Liu Long had said.
‘Do you really value your feelings that much?’ Li Hao thought to himself. ‘Did anyone care for their emotions and feelings about others so much that they were willing to overlook their treachery?’
Li Hao couldn’t not really believe everything the captain had said. He didn’t know if he could even trust the captain. Li Kao knew that every word of Liu Long’s had been calculated.
“Kill Supers, strip them off their mysterious power, and absorb it…. If it doesn’t work the first time…”
Li Hao felt a chill in his heart. The world of Supers seemed brutal. If an ordinary person wanted to kill Supers to become one themselves…
‘No wonder the Supers keep a low-profile when they are being hunted like this,’ Li Hao realized. ‘Liu Long told me some things, but didn’t go into detail. He probably expects me to be tempted to join the law enforcement team to know more.’
Liu Long hadn’t mentioned what kind of training methods the Supers used to draw energy into their bodies, the strength of their abilities, the type of abilities, etc.
‘He even sensed the mysterious energy on me… was he bluffing to make me lose my composure or was he for real?’ wondered Li Hao. ‘Perhaps he had intended to make me flustered and admit to taking the stone from the Zhang family residence.’ That was entirely possible.
What Liu Long didn’t know what that not every ordinary person could see the mysterious energy like Li Hao. He didn’t see any starlight energy remnant around his body. So how did Liu Long sense the mysterious energy on him? If there were any remnant of the supernatural energy, the person who controlled the red shadow would have definitely attacked him.
Liu Long was trying to trick him!
As for Liu Long, Li Hao had seen a faint starlight energy on the surface of his body. It was very faint but it was there.
Liu Long probably had killed Supers and absorbed their energy. Some of it was still left. ‘At this rate, Liu Long might really become a Super,’ thought Li Hao.
Ordinary people couldn’t see it but Li Hao could. He had noticed it among the other members of the team too. They seemed to have mysterious abilities as well. Perhaps the ‘we’ Liu Long meant were those few members including Wu Chao and the charming female Patrol Officer. A total of five people. Not everyone in the law enforcement team.
It seemed like there was a small team within the law enforcement team, the Hunter Alliance, formed by Liu Long and the others who hunted the Supers.
Supers definitely didn’t sound weak. So, what did Liu Long and his team of hunters use to kill them? This small team was scarier than anything Li Hao had encountered so far.
They had access to everything within the Inspection Division. It was not really difficult for the law enforcement team to find the Supers and kill them since Liu Long was the head and he could get any information and weapon he wanted.
This man was in charge of Silver City’s Violence Department. Li Hao Vortex Mk III was useless. The Inspector General was rarely seen at the front lines. So, Liu Long was the boss and could do anything he pleased.
…
Li Hao walked down the stairs of the tower.
He was deep in thought.
If he rejected the offer, what consequences would he have to face? ‘Will Liu Long cause me trouble?’
‘Would he tip off the enemy with the red shadow and inform them that I had both the Zhang family’s saber and Li family’s sword?’ wondered Li Hao. ‘What if he kills me?’
Liu Long had talked about loyalty and friendship, so Li Hao had thought him kind, but now he realized that the captain was really a cold and ruthless man.
Liu Long did not seem reckless to Li Hao anymore. He was cold and calculating. He might have deliberately led the law enforcement team to inaction to let the enemy and the Supers to relax their vigilance! To show weakness and to pounce at the right time.
‘In fact, I think that Liu Long knows who the mole is already! He is just letting the mole do whatever he wants for now.’
