Chapter 99: Pirate Commander Xu Bai

Heavenly Sword!

This was a law enforcement agency that existed but did not exist.

It was said that he existed because the Heavenly Sword Bureau was a law enforcement agency established under the authority of the Federation.

However, he didn't exist because the establishment of the Heavenly Sword

Bureau didn't go through the Federation's House of Representatives and Senate's review process.

Simply put, the Heavenly Sword did not exist in the existing list of law enforcement agencies. He did not have separate law enforcement powers, but he did exist.

At the very least, the current President of the Federation and the Minister of Justice knew about them.

Homeland Security was established to maintain the barrier between transcendents and ordinary people and protect ordinary people from transcendents.

In that case, the Heavenly Sword was targeting transcendents.

In fact,…

Sometimes, the Heavenly Sword's way of doing things was much more radical than Homeland Security.

Here was an example.

If Homeland Security knew that an ordinary person was fighting with a transcendent, they would shut this ordinary person up.

However, if the Heavenly Sword was present, the two transcendents would have died on the spot, and the unlucky ordinary people would also have been eliminated.

Of course.

This was the worst-case scenario. Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Sword would choose a gentler method.

For example, if an ordinary person lost their memories during this period of time, 99% of ordinary people would wake up and realize that their memories for the past week would become abnormally blurry due to some technical deficiencies.

As for An Ya…

She was a member of the Heavenly Sword Bureau.

Zhu Nianyan didn't know that Xu Bai and An Ya knew each other.

However, she knew about the Heavenly Sword Bureau and its attitude towards an ordinary person who had entered the transcendent world.

This was also the reason why Zhu Nianyan hurriedly came back to her senses when she saw Xu Bai coming over just now and tried to pull him away.

Homeland Security was the firewall between transcendent and ordinary people.

In that case, the Heavenly Sword Bureau was a real anti-virus program. Any transcendent who exposed their strength and entered ordinary people would be strictly enforced.

Similarly, the Heavenly Sword Bureau would treat all ordinary people who entered the transcendent realm equally.

Zhu Nianyan remembered one of her mother's favorite words to scare her when she was young.

“If you're disobedient, I'll get the people from the Heavenly Sword Bureau to come knocking on your door and erase your memories, turning you into a silly girl!”

She still remembered it, and it was engraved in her heart.

Zhu Nianyan didn't want Xu Bai to become a fool, so she mustered her courage and explained to An Ya, “It's true. If you don't believe me, ask my grandfather.

Xu Bai is already a disciple of our Miracle Hands Empty Sect.”

In a single sentence, Xu Bai was still an ordinary person, but his identity was no longer ordinary. Therefore, according to the procedure, there was no need for the Heavenly Sword to enforce the law.

But…

Hearing Zhu Nianyan's words, An Ya frowned and looked at Zhu Cong, who was sitting on the sofa with Xu Bai and taking his pulse seriously.

Did Xu Bai join the Miracle Hands Empty Sect?

What kind of joke was this about the Great Desolate World?

How could he join a heterodox sect?

And…

Since when did Xu Bai get to know the people from the Miracle Hands Empty Sect?

An Ya raised her eyebrows.

Ever since she first met Xu Bai five years ago, she had been observing him.

She saw Xu Bai standing alone at the scene of the car accident. His face was like a puppet as he watched his parents and sister being carried onto the stretcher. He did not say a word and did not even have a trace of anger.

An Ya even saw how Xu Bai kicked out those relatives who had tried to persuade him out of goodwill but had targeted the insurance company for huge compensation.

She even saw how Xu Bai worked hard in the police academy just to get first place in the entire school and have a chance to choose to allocate law enforcement agencies.

An Ya didn't know how Xu Bai survived five years ago, but in the past five years, An Ya had been watching the entire process. She had been a calm spectator from the beginning until now.

In these five years, An Ya could not find any place where Xu Bai was connected to the transcendent world.

At this moment.

After Zhu Cong checked Xu Bai's body, he completely believed it this time. Xu

Bai, who had displayed his talent at the age of seven and was comparable to a

Martial Apprentice without any cultivation, had completely recovered.

Furthermore…

This time, it was even better.

He had just entered the Martial Apprentice Realm, but his Dantian already had the True Vitality that only Level 5 Martial Apprentices could condense.

Moreover, the Nine Revolutions True Vitality was endless.

Although he had already confirmed it, Zhu Cong was still a little shocked by this outcome. He stroked his beard and looked at Xu Bai. He clicked his tongue in wonder. “When I was six years old, I knew that your foundation was very strong. I didn't expect that your foundation would be damaged. Ordinary people would no longer have the chance to repair it. However, not only did you self-heal, but you even improved.”

Xu Bai smiled without saying anything and accepted Zhu Cong's praise.

Yes.

Xu had been gifted since he was young.

An Ya, who was standing aside, suddenly came back to her senses when she heard Zhu Cong's words. Then she seemed to have thought of something.

The next second.

An Ya raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Bai, who was smiling. “Are you the Pirate Commander?”

Zhu Nianyan, who was standing at the side, was also stunned. She looked at Xu Bai and could not help but say in shock, “You're the Pirate Commander?”

Pirate Commander.

It was a nickname.

Or rather, it was an elegant term.

Anyone from the thief sect who was slightly famous would have such an elegant title.

After all, the thief sect belonged to the heterodox path. Although it was not like the evil sects that were hated by everyone, this line of work was indeed not that glorious.

Therefore, the people of the thief sect would give themselves a nickname when they walked.

For example, the Nigger Nemo. His nickname was Black Snake.

Another example was Zhu Cong. When he was roaming the martial world, his nickname was Miracle Hands Star Picker.

Back then, Xu Bai, who followed Zhu Cong and regarded him as his mission ATM, naturally had an elegant nickname.

The thief sect called him “Pirate Commander!”

As for the reason…

It was clear at a glance.

Handsome!

Actually, Xu Bai originally wanted an elegant name like “God of Thieves” or “Divine Thief”.

However, Zhu Cong told him that the nickname was not given to him by himself. Instead, it was given to him by his fellow comrades from the thief sect.

It was just like how the emperors of ancient times could not choose their own posthumous titles. Similarly, those who roamed the martial world could not

give themselves nicknames.

Only those given by others could be circulated and known by others. Moreover, the person who gave you this nickname had to be one of the best and most respected people in the industry.

Thus, he forced Zhu Cong to call everyone he met Pirate Commander.

As time passed, there was a rumor in the thief sect that a person who looked very young was respectfully addressed as Pirate Commander.

When Xu Bai heard An Ya mention his nickname, he recalled forcing Zhu Cong to say that he was the Pirate Commander. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

But…

He raised his head to look at An Ya and frowned as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

“Pirate Commander? Who is this? Is he very handsome?”

“Haha!”

An Ya already had an answer in her mind. She sneered. “He's ugly. I heard that Pirate Commander is a detestable man. He has a snake's head and a rat's eyes. The more he lacks something, the more he craves it.”

He was really Pirate Commander!

After An Ya finished speaking, she couldn't help but be shocked. At the same time, she completely understood why Xu Bai had never interacted with Zhu

Cong in the past five years, but he acted like he was an old friend of Zhu Cong.

It turned out that the two of them had known each other for five years.

It was no wonder that even Su Bancheng felt that the Pirate Commander was dead yesterday. The Pirate Commander was no longer a thief but a constable who caught thieves.

The corners of Xu Bai l s mouth twitched when he heard An Yds adjective.

This cold-faced tiger was blind.

It was very normal.

90% of normal women would be unable to help themselves when they saw his looks. They might even subconsciously think that he was their boyfriend.

Hence, it was obvious that this cold-faced tiger was an exception.

There was an apt adjective.

“Heresy!'

“What did you say?

“Nothing.”

Xu Bai shook his head under An Ya's narrowed eyes.

After confirming that Xu Bai had really recovered and even exceeded the limit,

Zhu Cong, who was completely relieved, was stunned when he saw the interaction between Xu Bai and An Ya. Then, he realized.

“Lil Bai, you know Team Leader An?”

When Xu Bai heard this, he looked up at Zhu Cong and said with a strange expression, “Don't you know that Team Leader An is the head of our 38th Precinct's internal affairs monitoring team that specializes in investigating our own people?”

Zhu Cong was slightly taken aback and glanced at An Ya. “Team Leader An, aren't you…”

An Ya interrupted him. “Sect Master Zhu, did you ask for help for Agent Xu yesterday?”

Xu Bai frowned and looked at Zhu Cong.

An Ya had been here since yesterday.

No wonder.

He said so.

He had found Black Snake through special professional channels. How could An Ya have followed him and almost bumped into him?

And…

Zhu Cong asked for help for him?

What was it for?

Zhu Cong looked at Xu Bai, who was looking at him as if he needed an explanation. He shook his head and said) “I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. Team Leader An happened to look for me yesterday and asked me for some information. I thought that Team Leader An might have a way to solve the problem of your foundation being damaged. I didn't expect…”

As he spoke.

Zhu Cong shook his head repeatedly and sighed, “You actually know each other. It seems that I've really been away from the action for too long.”

Xu Bai nodded affirmatively.

Exactly.

As an old thief who had been in the martial arts world for countless years, he had directly lured the officials to his old nest.

What kind of operation was this?

It was the thief sect's rule.

This operation required three slashes and six holes to apologize.
