Hao Ren appeared at the provided address, and found Stephanie waiting for him outside the building. She led him to the house, and after the two of them sat down, and Hao Ren asked, "Tell me, now."
Stephanie opened the laptop laying on the table, and said, "Master Ye, this is the person you are looking for, Bai Yulong."
Hao Ren looked at the screen, which displayed the picture of a youth in his late teens. This young man had a very cold vibe about himself, and Stephanie said, "We all thought that the person used some mystical ways to keep his appearance."
Stephanie tapped the next key on the side, and a report appeared on the display. Hao Ren quickly read the content and his gaze turned cold. He leaned back in the chair and asked, "Why is this scumbag, treated as the national guardian?"
Stephanie replied, "Sir, it is because of his contribution in the Centurion war. He defended the western borders alone, and killed many enemies. He was awarded the title of National Guardians."
Hao Ren clicked his tongue and asked, "Your SID cannot do anything about him even when you have so much proof?"
Stephanie shook her head and replied, "No, Master Ye, the chief of SID was also a participant in the war. He is the second National Guardian, but his strength is nowhere close to Bai Yulong. The latter has reached the peak of Core formation realm, and that is only a conservative estimate."
Hao Ren shook his head, and said, "It does not matter, what realm he is, he will die when I face him. Well, what about your SID chief, how strong is he?"
Stephanie replied, "He is at the peak of foundation establishment."
Hao Ren snorted and replied, "Too weak."
He thought about something and asked, "Can your chief negotiate with the government, if I take an action, would they allow it?"
Stephanie shook her head and said, "Master Ye, although I am just a normal agent at the organization, but since we are just a comparatively small group of people, even I know that the position he holds is a trump card for the nation. All these years, Bai Yulong has maintained a pristine record in duty despite the fact that he is a Dual Cultivator."
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Well, what if I give the nation two people who are at least on par with Bai Yulong? What then."
Stephanie was shocked, and after some thought she said, "Master Ye, would you mind meeting with the chief? This issue is a bit too big for me to decide."
Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "Good, tell him to meet me within two days after the school hours, or I will take action on my own."
Stephanie nodded, it was not like she had any other option, and Hao Ren left the house. She closed the door, and when she turned to look at the table, she found an extra pill bottle and heard a voice in her head, "This bottle contains two pills, one body formation and one regeneration pill. The red one is for you, and the green one is for the old chief. Give it to him, and he will come to meet me."
Stephanie was shocked, she looked around but Hao Ren was nowhere to be seen. She rushed up to the table, picked up the bottle, and carefully opened it. The aroma rushed out from the bottle and as Stephanie took a sniff, her blood rushed to her cheeks, and a blush appeared on her face.
She hurriedly closed the bottle, and picked up her phone, and made a call. The call connected and she said, "Priority Dragon, Operative Silver Thread."
The person replied after a few minutes, "Forwarding call."

An old man was sleeping in his bed, when a sharp phone rang beside his head. He opened his eyes and sighed, "The life of an old man is difficult."
He picked up the call, and asked, "What is it?"
The operator replied, "Chief, Operative Silver Thread has something to report to you."
The old man sat up and said, "Connect."
The call was connected after a buzz, and the old man asked, "What is it?"
Stephanie spoke from the other side, "Chief, he came to me, looking for Bai Yulong, and he said that if we can help him negotiate with the government, he will give us two people who are as strong as Bai Yulong. As a token of faith, he left a green pill. The pill has extraordinary healing effects. I have taken one, it is a spiritual pill."
The old man's breath picked up pace and he said, "Fine, I will come over there by the morning. Stay indoor, keep the pills safe, and wait for me."
Stephanie nodded and the call was disconnected, the old man flung the blanket away and he stood up quickly before yelling, "Xiao Tie, get the fucking car ready we are going to the capital."
A young man replied, "Yes, Master."
Hao Ren came back to his room, but he was not in the mood of sleeping. The two pills he gave out were some rewards from the previous tasks. In this life he did not have a space ring, but he had a system inventory, and so he used the leftovers for transaction. He did not wish to have any interaction with SID, but since Bai Yulong was fated to be his enemy, he did not mind cutting him off from the roots.
He sat down on the ground with his eyes closed and began to channel his spiritual energy faster than he ever had in this life. The speed of the spiritual energy was so high that it created a vortex above his head, sucking all the energy that he could, and the city experienced a sudden storm.
In the morning, Hao Ren received a call from Stephanie, who said that the old chief was ready to meet him. The young man agreed and told them to meet at the cafe opposite the school, however, when he was going to class, he noticed Han Lingshi walking with a young man and his eyes turned cold.
Han Lingshi was smiling but her expression was one that of hesitation. He took a deep breath and calmed down, before he said, "Lingshi."
Han Lingshi looked at him and waved her hand before saying a few words to the young man and dashed to his side. The young man was still looking at Hao Ren, and so was the latter, there was smoke in the air, but Hao Ren quickly let Han Lingshi drag him to the class. Bai Yulong took a deep breath and said to the middle-aged guy beside him, "Find out who he is."
The man nodded and replied, "Yes, Master Bai."
