Chapter 460: The Arrival of the Tyrant Saint! A Proactive Approach from the Golden Heart!

Chapter 460: The Arrival of the Tyrant Saint! A Proactive Approach from the Golden Heart!

In the span of a day, Su Ping spent time with Little Flame, and he and Fatso utilized online searches to find information about a crow-like pet beast that had seemingly vanished from history. In the blink of an eye, this fleeting moment passed.

Hundreds of Wood Element Cores had already been acquired by Su Ping from the Beastmaster Association in Linzhou on the same day.

However, the Imperial-grade resources, which were speculated to have effects similar to the Magma Heart, had not yet arrived.

Reaching this level, it was impossible for the provincial Beastmaster Association to possess all of them.

Therefore, they had to be mobilized from the headquarters.

Fortunately, Su Ping still had some influence.

As soon as he made the request, the staff from the Beastmaster Association responsible for the liaison immediately prepared and sent them.

However, the next morning, instead of the courier he was expecting, Su Ping witnessed the descent of the Tyrant Saint, who seemed like a divine mechanical warrior from the heavens.

His semi-mechanized body had a red-glowing prosthetic eye.

This clearly indicated that the body before him was no longer a complete flesh-and-blood form.

On his seemingly mechanized face, a rare smile appeared:

"Su Ping, it's been a while."

Su Ping scratched his head, "It hasn't been that long. It's just that Tyrant Saint Senior has been busy, and it feels like a long time has passed."

"Hahaha, I'm not as busy as you! In just this short time away from Dragon City, you've made quite a stir! Here you go!"

At this point, Wu Kuang handed Su Ping a spatial ring, which, upon a quick inspection, turned out to be the resources he had requested from the Beastmaster Association headquarters the day before.

The Imperial-grade Wood-attribute resources 'Forest Heart', 'Greenfield Seed', 'Heaven-Earth Root'...

There were as many as five of them.

Each one was a rare Imperial-grade resource.

"How is it? Any problems? If there are any issues, I, as your temporary courier, might get questioned by Elder Feng later!"

Wu Kuang smiled with narrowed eyes.

Despite the odd crimson prosthetic eye, his expression seemed slightly comical.

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction:

"No problem! Thank you, Tyrant Saint Senior."

"Well, I'm just doing this on the way, and it's not a big deal to bring these resources. As for my visit, I've already explained it to you clearly on the phone yesterday!"

Wu Kuang paused and continued:

"The Elder wants you to join this Silver Chain Bureau's special action team, and you'll be the first deputy leader. There's no need to elaborate on the importance they place on you.

So, you can choose to participate directly in the investigation or simply provide identification of resources and cultivation methods used by some investigative companies."

Previously, Wu Kuang had mentioned this; there was no doubt that his obligation and this position alone would make it clear to anyone with insight that he was here for inspection, and at the same time, to reap benefits and enhance his reputation.

However, Su Ping didn't rush to respond. Instead, he led Wu Kuang back to the reception room, where he finally asked about their situation:

"Senior, how many people are in this Silver Chain Bureau's special action team?"

Wu Kuang didn't mind Su Ping's curiosity:

"Currently, including me, there are eight people in total. One is at the Holy Spirit Rank, two at the Imperial Rank, and the remaining five, including you, are all Beastmasters at the Sovereign Rank!

However, they are currently investigating elsewhere. For now, most of them are still in the investigation phase, and only two provinces are preparing to take action. One is your Jianghai Province.

The other is Qilu Province, where the headquarters of the Mountain River Corporation is located, which goes without saying.

Initially, the mechanical pet beast used by that Shen Fu had traces of the 'Qiao Sun Mechanics' group, a big shot from the Eagle Nation across the ocean. After my investigation, it was confirmed that the Mountain River Corporation had established contact with the Golden Heart long ago.

The Mountain River Corporation is Qilu Province's largest enterprise, so we need to take action early to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, the Shen family of the Mountain River Corporation is likely one of the original founders of the Golden Heart within the country.

Oh, right, the Golden Heart is a special organization formed by some domestic enterprise leaders. On the surface, it's for mutual development and exchange, but in reality, it's a cover for the Golden Heart's activities.

As for Jianghai Province, its development speed has been incredibly rapid in recent years, with private enterprises making significant strides. Additionally, there's the influence of the Dong family, and your presence here, making it a primary investigation province.

Su Ping's eyebrows rose:

"Is the Dong family also involved?"

If that's the case, it might be a bit tricky.

However, what slightly relieved Su Ping was that Wu Kuang quickly shook his head.

"No, after the Dong family went through that incident, they became more restrained. These years, under Dong Muchun's leadership, the Heaven Cloud Group has done well. That little girl from the Dong family is quite capable, and her temperament is steady with progress."

"But since her older brother took over, the Heaven Cloud Group has become slightly restless. However, they haven't fully committed yet. So, this time, we need to give them a warning."

"Many companies in Jianghai Province have either already joined the Golden Heart or started making contact with the Golden Circle."

"Among them, you should be familiar with the Fire King Corporation, right? It's one of the first companies in Jianghai Province to join the Golden Heart, and it's also the representative of the Golden Circle in Jianghai."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping's pupils suddenly constricted.

Although the Fire King Corporation's influence in Linzhou was not as significant as the Dong family's Heaven Cloud Group,

its specialization in fire-type pet resources made it a giant in the industry.

It could be considered one of the most prominent companies in Jianghai Province.

What's more important is that when he graduated last year, the director who taught him, Director Zhang, tried to persuade him to join the Fire King Corporation. He wanted Su Ping to work for the company, just like his former class monitor, Zhou Shuchen.

Later, after Qin Chuan, the father of Miss Qin, was involved in an attack case, his company was eventually divided between Pingyun and the Fire King Corporation. Su Ping had further contact with the Fire King Corporation.

This was about the ownership of the Victory Forest Farm.

Later, Su Ping transferred all the plant-type pets from the Victory Forest Farm to his own Forest Heart.

In theory, it could be considered a big favor for the Fire King Corporation.

No, it could even be said that they had been cheated.

Because the Victory Forest Farm was located in the western suburbs of Linzhou.

When Linzhou was planning to expand further, it was supposed to expand towards the west.

Therefore, when the news spread, many plots of land in the western suburbs experienced an inexplicable increase in value.

Later, due to Su Ping's appearance, Linzhou changed its development policy and direction, shifting towards the east and even connecting to the West Dragon Lake.

This caused the land value of the Victory Forest Farm to depreciate significantly, and the Fire King Corporation suffered a considerable loss.

Of course, at that time, Su Ping had already grown his wings, and Dong Muchun was there. Even if the Fire King Corporation suffered a silent loss, they wouldn't dare do anything.

However, in the past six months, the Fire King Corporation didn't seem to be severely weakened. Instead, after Pingyun launched several fire-type magical medicines, the Fire King Corporation invested heavily to capture the market.

This clearly demonstrated the ample financial resources backing the Fire King Corporation.

Su Ping had never expected the reason to be this.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

In fact, he didn't have any ill feelings towards the Fire King Corporation.

Moreover, one of the shareholders of the Fire King Corporation, Xu Li, who often fished at his home, was quite familiar. Occasionally, they would go fishing together.

But when it came to high-level policies, although Su Ping didn't know what would happen if they joined the Golden Heart,

since the higher-ups attached such importance to it, it must be detrimental to Longguo. At this moment, Su Ping was very clear about his position.

Moreover, when the time came to dismantle the involved companies, ultimately, the reason he was sent to Jianghai was not only to let him and Pingyun stand firm amidst the turmoil, but also to gain the greatest benefits. There was no reason to hesitate.

So, Su Ping turned to Wu Kuang:

"Senior, what do you plan to do?"

After all, the legendary special investigation group should have at least ten people, but the current situation clearly showed that there were no others, only this Tyrant Saint.

Su Ping really didn't know what this Tyrant Saint was going to do.

Wu Kuang's half-mechanical, half-human face remained calm, and he shrugged:

"It's simple. For the confirmed companies, we'll separate the high-level executives for interrogation. If they confess, we can go easy on them. If their testimonies don't match, we'll conduct soul searches.

Once confirmed, the adults will give them a lighter sentence if they confess. But if they dare to hide or resist, we'll kill them on the spot, along with their pet beasts. At the same time, the involved companies will be dismantled!

If they show a repentant attitude, we can handle them accordingly.

If you're willing, you can also keep some of your assets and have a chance to rise again in the future.

But if you're not willing, then I can't do anything about it."

Looking at Wu Kuang's matter-of-fact expression, Su Ping fell silent for a moment, and it was at this moment that he once again clearly realized that the Blue Star before him was inherently such a world and society.

Not just Dragon Country, but even Dragon Country was already considered good.

The individual strength of Beastmasters was enough to control the life and death of others without relying on power and wealth.

Not to mention, there's also the extremely useful method of Soul Searching, which doesn't require interrogation.

Killing, especially after having a very legitimate reason, seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

Even if one had to say it, this person gave an opportunity for sudden enlightenment, which was already considered good.

Su Ping thought for a moment and asked a somewhat redundant question:

"Senior, if we do this, will it lead to them absconding with the money or taking a large amount of resources and funds to leave Dragon Country?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Kuang's face twisted into a sinister smile:

"Brat, not to mention whether they have the ability to really succeed in those places where others have already divided the cake. There's no real value in relying on early cost investments to create so-called businesses and establish themselves locally.

Even if there are exceptional aspects, even if they can leave Dragon Country, with the help of the Golden Heart, and stand firm in other countries, but you should know that this behavior is considered desertion, and our country has some means in assassination."

As soon as these words came out, Su Ping's eyelids twitched rapidly.

Between countries, in such a huge world, there is no right or wrong, only differences in positions.

Su Ping wasn't a naive child who overly pursued right and wrong, so he naturally understood this.

Thinking of this, there were no more questions in his heart.

"Since that's the case, how do you plan to act? How should I cooperate?"

"Don't be hasty. First, let my Mystic confirm the activity range and current locations of these company executives on the list. After the Mystic completes the surveillance, we can prepare to take action.

As for the first target, how about the Fire King Corporation that you're familiar with?"

Obviously, asking for his opinion was just a polite gesture.

Su Ping naturally couldn't interfere with such direct action decisions.

Thinking of this, he nodded:

"As you decide, if you need any help later, you can contact me directly! By the way, if the workload is relatively large, do we need to find some external personnel for search and record-keeping?"

As soon as these words came out, Tyrant Saint chuckled:

"People, except for those who have truly reached a certain level, like you, Su Ping, I don't trust anyone else.

Even some Holy Spirit Rank Beastmasters, who dares to say they don't have their own thoughts? In this matter, machines are far more reliable than humans!"

Su Ping's eyebrows rose.

As the only Holy Spirit Rank in Dragon Country who specializes in mechanics, and also an early Holy Spirit Rank senior, it was understandable for him to have such thoughts.

Since that was the case, Su Ping didn't bother to be overly sentimental.

"By the way, Su Ping, I heard that your mechanical beast has evolved into an unprecedented form. Can you show me?"

Wu Kuang didn't say more on this topic but changed the subject to Fei Fei.

Su Ping was also happy to do so, as his understanding of mechanical beasts far surpassed ordinary people, and it would be good to have his guidance in Fei Fei's cultivation.

Unfortunately, just as Su Ping and Wu Kuang were about to get up, a phone call came in at this moment, once again reaching Su Ping's hand.

The call changed both of their actions, and even the actions that Wu Kuang had just mentioned were all overturned.

This was because the content of the call was not only beyond Su Ping's expectations but also beyond the expectations of Wu Kuang beside him.

The caller was none other than Dong Muchun, whom this senior had just praised.

Dong Muchun's words on the phone made Su Ping startled and also caused Wu Kuang's electronic eye to turn slightly cold.

"Su Ping, are you short of money lately? Just now, someone found me, he said he's from our Dragon Country's 'Golden Circle',

If Pingyun joins this Golden Circle, he can lend Pingyun 50 billion Dragon Country currency in cash flow as a gesture of support for new members, without any conditions or interest!"
