387 Thunder Kirin Special Force

Dragon City.

The streets were lit ahead of sunset. Skyscrapers stood as far as the eyes could see, and the roads were laden with heavy traffic. These vibrant and prosperous sights would never be found in Green Vine City!

The capital was home to many different people. Martial art prodigies, people with special attributes and individuals of significant influence were a mere fraction of the city's diverse population, and they were all here for one reason.

Throughout history, Dragon City was where legends were born!

"Which faction are you from?" Luo Puti asked.

The Six Doors inspector was driving a white car; she was taking Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu to dinner before they attend the auction.

"We consider ourselves Daoists, but I can't really give you the name of our faction!" Chen Xiaobei quickly replied.

"Daoists?" Luo Puti echoed in surprise, and then nodded. "I see. I've heard before that there were formidable characters who stayed deep within mountains such as Kunlun, Ermei, and Zhong Nan. Well, I guess the legends were real – there's little wonder how your combat power increased so tremendously in such a short period of time!"

"That's right! Our faction is really strong! Fate led me to this brotherhood, and I would have remained a little farmer in a little village otherwise." Chen Xiaobei replied, smiling lightly. In truth, all of his achievements were thanks to the Red Envelope Group.

"Why did your Shixiong come to Dragon City?" Through her rearview mirror, Luo Puti had noticed that Xiangyu was looking at every single thing in the city after he got in the car.

"My Shixiong grew up in the mountains, but my Sifu wanted him to fortify his mind by exposing himself to new things around the world!" Chen Xiaobei kept up his make-believe story.

"What's his cultivation?" Luo Puti then asked.

"Why'd you ask?" Chen Xiaobei was caught off guard.

"Let me be frank. Elder Cao has assigned me a new mission recently, and he wants me to recruit you into the Thunder Kirin Special Forces! If your Shixiong is good enough, I'd like to ask him to join the team with you and serve the country together!"

"Damn, you're quite the saleswoman! Elder Cao would definitely reward you handsomely if you managed to get us join Thunder Kirin!" Chen Xiaobei replied sarcastically.

"Joining Thunder Kirin Special Force is the dream of every soldier in China! I'm not trying to con you, not many can get this opportunity!"

"Well, you could actually tell me about what Thunder Kirin actually is in the first place. I'm not interested, but my Shixiong might be." Chen Xiaobei grinned. Xiangyu had indeed turned away from sightseeing and was now listening to their conversation keenly; he appeared quite interested in joining the team.

"Thunder Kirin is a clandestine special operations force," Luo Puti explained. "Everyone in the squad are the best of the best! They're also quite similar to the Six Doors Organization – the only difference was that we deal with the Jianghu business within the country, while they handle Jianghu elites overseas!"

Something promptly clicked in Chen Xiaobei's mind after she mentioned that. "So those who offend China will be killed no matter how far they were!"

"That's right! Thunder Kirin is like a blade that our nation wields against foreign enemies!" Luo Puti then paused for a moment. "Honestly speaking, Thunder Kirin missions are Six Doors Organization," she added dramatically. "Just forget everything if you don't have the guts."

"Your goading isn't working. Did you really think that I would take the bait?" Chen Xiaobei beamed.

"Sister-in-law. Is justice the way of Thunder Kirin?" Xiangyu suddenly asked.

"They work to protect the people in our country!" Luo said.

"Okay! I'll join Thunder Kirin then!" Xiangyu made up his mind immediately.

"It's nice that you're willing to join, but regarding your combat power…" Luo Puti trailed off doubtfully. Thunder Kirin was not a club open to all – only those whose combat power had reached certain thresholds could join!

"I'm at the Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana Stage. Is that good enough?" Xiangyu said calmly.

"What?!" Luo Puti's hands jerked violently and she almost crashed the car into the guardrail.

"Chen Xiaobei… Is your Shixiong joking?" Luo Puti asked in disbelief. There were less than ten super elites who had reached Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana Stage in Dragon City, and the title One Against All was not something to be trifled with.

"Hehe… Look at him. Do you really think he's joking?" Chen Xiaobei smirked.

"This means that there's another super elite joining the Thunder Kirin Special Forces! Elder Cao would be delighted!" Luo Puti exclaimed, before calming herself down to say seriously: "Xiangyu, as a representative of the Thunder Kirin Special Forces, I welcome you on behalf of the team!"

"Thank you." Xiangyu nodded. He did not feel anything particularly special about joining the force. Elder Cao and Lo Puti would be thrilled, but that does not mean that he would be excited. In fact, it feels like a few steps backward for him.

"I almost forgot! My lovely fiancée, how did you become part of the Thunder Kirin Special Force?" Chen Xiaobei smiled.

"I'm not your…" Luo Puti rolled her eyes at him as she cut herself short. "I've told Elder Cao about my problems with Poseidon after the Emperor Yan's tomb incident, after of which he got me to join Thunder Kirin as a special case. On the surface, I'm still a special inspector of Six Doors Organization and would someday return to Green Vine City to find the person that Poseidon needs."

"Nice! When did you become a special inspector? And shouldn't you be thanking me for the salary increment and promotion too?" Chen Xiaobei said happily.

"I'm not your fiancée, and I don't need to show you any special gratitude!" Luo Puti rolled her eyes at him again. She wanted to show her gratitude for his assistance with the Emperor Yan's tomb incident initially, but quickly changed her mind as he kept acting like a prick.

"Fine. Well, I'm going to do whatever I want in your house since Xiangyu and I are staying over. The two of us can sleep in the same bed while Xiangyu sleeps in the guest room. That's my final decision!" Chen Xiaobei grinned evilly.

"I…" Luo Puti was very frustrated. She wanted to kill him so much right now.

Seeing that she was now speechless, Chen Xiaobei ceased with the teasing. "I just remembered. How did you guys deal with the Hundred Beasts Faction after the tomb incident? Did they come looking for revenge?" He asked.

Chen Xiaobei had been in disguise as Bao Linshuang throughout the tomb incident, and so Luo Puti had to deal with everything without him. The faction's leader – Long Aotian was killed in the tomb, and logically any remnants searching for vengeance would look for her and not him.

Luo Puti felt a warm sensation as he expressed his concern for her. "The Hundred Beasts Faction is gone for good," she said with a different tone.

"They were accused of threatening national security on the next day by Elder Cao, and the organization pretty much dissolved by itself. Long Aotian's father was also thrown into prison."

"Awesome! Elder Cao is really harsh when it comes to criminals! I'm relieved now!" Chen Xiaobei smiled widely.

.....

Green Vine City.

At a hidden corner, a woman on the phone was speaking in Japanese. She was talking about the Hundred Beasts Faction as well.
