Chapter 3868 The Sorrows and Big Ideas of Rich Woman Su!
Washington, D.C., the temporary headquarters of the Magicians' Guild.
As the king of the non-humans, Radiance naturally has its own prestige—so the temporary outpost is one of the few buildings that survived the disaster... and it's quite large.
Inside the room, in front of the fireplace, the passage to the [Non-Human Realm], opened by magical dust, slowly opened. A flash of magical blue light appeared, and [Radiance] came into the sight of Elizabeth and Zhong Luoyue.
"Teacher, has the plague in the [non-human realm] been resolved?"
“It’s currently under control.” [Radiance] smiled slightly at his elementary school student and said, “Fortunately, we found a solution from these prisoners, otherwise I would have had to continue freezing [Non-human Domain].
Zhong Luoyue was shocked upon hearing this... The Tower Master had frozen time in the [Non-human Domain] using magic; this was no ordinary feat.
Even with the help of the magic tower... just how vast is the tower master's magic power?
"Great."
The little vampire girl didn't have many thoughts on the matter; she just felt that the crisis in the [Non-human Realm] could be resolved, which was something to be happy about.
Zhong Luoyue straightened her expression and asked, "Lord Huiyao, have you returned to participate in the upcoming public trial?"
“I will still attend.” [Radiance] nodded. “Has the venue been decided?”
"This trial will be held publicly in Gotham," Zhong Luoyue said hurriedly. "The Chinese embassy has already sent people to escort Wayne, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., there."
[Radiance] pondered for a moment, "Elizabeth, you'll accompany me to the public trial... Also, I plan to send you to be in charge of the [Magicians' Association]'s new post here."
"Me?" The little vampire girl was taken aback. "But teacher, I lack both experience and strength... Shouldn't there be more suitable candidates in the association?"
“You will have someone to assist you.” [Radiance] smiled calmly. “It is precisely because you lack experience that you need to train even more. Moreover, as one of your deputies, I believe Miss Zhong will not let you down… Don’t you agree, Miss Zhong?”
When [Radiance]'s gaze fell upon Zhong Luoyue, this woman, who was already very career-minded, felt somewhat excited... Did this mean that the [Magicians' Association] was officially beginning to accept her?
She was still a little confused. How did she, a descendant of a pure and upright family from China, end up as a member of the Magicians' Association?
Life's opportunities are truly...wonderful.
"Rest assured, Tower Master, I will do my best to assist Elizabeth." Zhong Luoyue knew this was not the time to be distracted, so she quickly assured her.
"By the way, did anything happen during the two days I was away?"
Elizabeth said, "The Holy See has sent someone over; it seems Lord Stella wants to see you."
“Hmm…” [Radiance] thought for a moment and said, “I understand. For now, we don’t need to pay attention to the [Holy Church]… Stella contacting me usually means something bad.”
—Mostly because of the [King of Flies]?
Stella is out of his mind. The plague in the [Non-Human Realm] hasn't been resolved yet, and [Radiance] doesn't intend to get too involved with this idiot for the time being.
Furthermore, the runes he inadvertently glimpsed during this great battle unexpectedly aligned perfectly with his path... This alone would be enough for him to study for a long time.
"Then I'll go prepare the plane for our trip," Zhong Luoyue said softly.
When traveling in [Non-Human King], it's better to be a little more formal... Flying directly there is faster, but it lacks class.
……
……
"Pear, look! We can see Gotham! Welcome to Gotham!"
To liven things up, Ziling's mom even played a song—Pear, who was scrolling through news updates from the United States, blinked and said, "Sis, they say she got engaged today."
"Oh... really?" Ziling's mother said casually, "I don't pay much attention to these celebrities... they're trending so quickly? Do Americans still have the mood to gossip about entertainment news?"
"Life is too depressing, the world is too terrifying... Amusement to the death?"
Ziling's mother shrugged, casually opened her laptop, and began organizing the materials—as the only non-official media representative cooperating with the Chinese Embassy this time, she certainly didn't want to miss such an important event as the global live broadcast of the public trial.
Anyway, the embassy seemed to have tacitly agreed that she could go with the team if she wanted to... no one said she couldn't go, and she was even assigned a good seat when she boarded the plane.
"Sister, have Luo Qiu and Miss Youye arrived in Gotham as well?" Pear asked abruptly.
Without looking up, Zi Ling's mother said, "Well, it seems they arrived yesterday. Youye also has businesses in Gotham that need managing... Let's see if we have time to have a meal. Anyway, we should be going back to China after the public trial, so we can see each other easily then."
Ziling's mother was completely immune to the fact that the maid had businesses everywhere, and was no longer surprised as she had been at the beginning... This kind of aristocratic beauty who looked like she stepped out of a comic book was already her son's fiancée, so what was there to be surprised about?
……
Up ahead, in business class—those seated here are naturally the leaders of the Administration Bureau, as well as Ah Xi Ruo and Su Zi Jun.
For this trip, Su, the wealthy woman, did not bring any of her entourage, opting to travel light—this plane already carried the highest combat power in China, so Gui Qianyi had nothing to worry about.
"Is it appropriate for you to put that woman in economy class?" the wealthy woman Su asked curiously.
"Is it appropriate for me to let her in here?" Ah Xi Ruo said irritably, "She doesn't know anything. She's already overjoyed to be able to come along this time. Let it be. Being content with what you have is good for a silly woman."
"When can I be that kind of 'foolish' woman?" Rich woman Su asked with genuine envy.
Ah Xiruo flicked the idle Princess Xuanyuan's finger in annoyance, "That's why I say, contentment brings happiness!"
"You old hag, you want to fight again?" Rich Su instantly bristled, almost wanting to bring up Ah Xiruo's embarrassing past to mock her—but she held back, because this thing is only most powerful the first time it is brought out!
"Stop fooling around, if you want to fight, go find that old bastard." Ah Xi Ruo said uninterestedly, "I could kill you with one finger right now."
"Old hag, you've gotten too big for your britches!" Rich woman Su snapped again. "Do you really think my killing sword is too weak to cut anything anymore?"
Ah Xiruo let out a cold laugh, and with just a glance that turned her hair to gold, she directly gave the agitated Su Zijun a complete restraint package.
Completely immobilized, Su Zijun's eyes widened in disbelief... This old woman, she really has taken flight? She'd never seen such terrifying power before...
"This……"
"Now you know how powerful it is, right?" Ah Xiruo said with a smile.
"Tsk..." Su Zijun was not about to go along with Ah Xiruo's wishes, and said disdainfully, "Old woman, you've fallen... You actually rely on men!"
Ah Xiruo made a zipping motion towards her mouth, and Rich Su's lips instantly shut tightly... Her eyes widened even more!
Ah Xi Ruo chuckled softly, put on her headphones and eye mask, and happily pressed the reclining function of the seat.
The rich woman Su, whose mentality was gradually becoming twisted, became more and more resentful... Su, who wanted to compete with the real dragon in everything, suddenly came up with a daring idea.
—I wonder if the old woman will be furious if I steal her man?
Ah Xiruo, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly shivered... She quietly pulled her blindfold down a little, looked at the expressionless Su Zijun, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
...I hope this kid won't become withdrawn.
……
The old scoundrel and Huo Zhen chose to ignore the conversation between the two most terrifying women in all of China in the back seat.
They have more important things to discuss.
The Vermilion Bird Squad has already delivered the information they gathered about the [Original Species]... The two old guys are quite concerned about this strange life form that can cause [Mutants] to mutate again.
As for the intelligence that was suspected to be from an ancient civilization, the two old men paid even more attention to it.
After all, the Underwater City is a living, breathing entity, and the second Underwater City is currently under construction in the East China Sea... The technological openness of the Underwater City will greatly benefit the development of China.
"Evil God, the rescue operation has begun. I think if there's an opportunity, we should have the Vermilion Bird Squad bring back as many samples of the [Original Species] as possible." Huo Zhen pondered, "What do you think?"
“Yes, it would be best if we could find out the exact location of the [Original Nest]…” The old man nodded. “[Mutants] are not unique to the United States. There are also [mutants] in China, but they are very rare.”
“Then I’ll make the arrangements.” Huo Zhen nodded, then took out another document. “The rest is this matter… Do we really want to announce it?”
"Humanity... will have to overcome this hurdle eventually." The old man sighed. "In the future, we may face even more [enemies]."

……
Shenzhou... [Qilin City], the location of the Administration Bureau's branch.
"Haha, welcome, Detective Ye!" The branch manager warmly shook hands. "I heard that Detective Ye's hometown is also [Qilin City]. I won't make any arrangements for your leave this time. But after get off work tonight, we can have a drink and catch up!"
"You're too kind, Minister." Ye Yan smiled slightly. "Although I grew up here, I'm just a newcomer to the [Management Bureau]. If I do anything wrong in the future, please be sure to point it out to me, Minister."
"You're too kind, you're too kind!"
Knowing that Agent Ye was about to enter headquarters for further training and would be at least a mid-level agent upon completion, the branch manager was naturally enthusiastic—hoping that after completing his training, he could be arranged to return to Qilin City to take up a post.
According to the minister's sources: This Detective Ye seems to have a significant background and is highly regarded by his superiors!
"Minister, has Qilin City taken any special actions recently?" Ye Yan suddenly asked.
The minister asked curiously, "Detective Ye, is this your pre-training vacation? You're already getting restless?"
"I really can't sit still." Ye Yan smiled casually. "Besides, it's not bad to practice, since I'm not very familiar with the Bureau's operations yet."
"What a pity." The minister nodded. "There's nothing urgent in Qilin City right now... To be honest, if something were to happen here, it would be a real problem."
As the only forbidden zone in the world for those with extraordinary powers, the branch manager's words came from the bottom of his heart.
"It's alright," Ye Yan said casually. "I'll just see some old friends these next few days."
"I'll arrange a room for you; that will be more convenient," the minister said quickly.
"No, I have somewhere to stay."
……
[Qilin City]...In front of a newly renovated tombstone in a suburban cemetery.
When Inspector Ma arrived, Yip Yin had probably been standing there for quite some time.
"I knew you'd be here..."
Mr. Ma muttered to himself.
He looked at Ye Yan's hair, which was slightly damp with dew, and said nothing. He simply walked silently to the tombstone, offered incense, and then stood beside Ye Yan.
The two stared blankly at the black and white photo on the tombstone.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you know, after all these years, the boss is still so handsome." Ma Sir suddenly said, "Now that we're in a supernatural society, maybe the underworld really exists... Old Ye, do you think that with the boss being so handsome, he might have found another one down there?"
"Come on, if you're going to look for someone, you'll only find Xiao Luo's biological mother." Ye Yan rolled her eyes. "The boss isn't that kind of person... Be careful, the boss might come to you in your dreams tonight."
Inspector Ma's expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed, "Boss, I'm sorry for being so talkative, please don't come back to me in my dreams..."
He stood there like a wooden statue for quite a while.
Ye Yan patted Ma Sir on the shoulder, "Let's go, you lazy bum at work, wanna grab a couple of drinks?"
"Come on, I know a good place!" Sir Ma immediately became interested... a look that any man would understand.
Ye Yan gave him a light elbow strike and chuckled, "You fatso."
"I've lost over ten pounds, okay?" Sir Ma complained bitterly. "I've been looking for people every day lately. I could only stay at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year... Damn it, I can't live like this!"
"Still haven't found that young lady named..." Ye Yan asked curiously, "...Daidouji Yuga?"
"It's like this person vanished into thin air." Sir Ma sighed, his face full of helplessness. "I've already asked the local bureau's agents for help. They used some magic outside [Qilin City] to search for him... The strange thing is, they said he's inside [Qilin City], but this is a restricted area, and they can't pinpoint his location. It's really bizarre!"
Ye Yan said thoughtfully, "Let's search slowly. As long as the person is still alive... they will definitely reveal a flaw. Be patient."
"By the way, have you been pretty free these past few days?" Ma Sir suddenly looked at Ye Yan with sparkling eyes. "How about lending me a hand?"
"That depends on whether tonight's drinks are right or not." Ye Yan didn't refuse... He really was a person who couldn't sit still.
"Sure, you can have as good as you want!" Sir Ma patted his chest and assured him, "Japanese sake, Korean shinro, Russian vodka, that's fine too... but our own fine brews from China, I'm really worried you won't be able to handle them since you just got back."
"You'd better talk about drinks..."
