Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 656: Hurry and Threaten
"So, what kind of girl is that?"

Although Jed still had an expressionless look on his face, the light flickering deep in his pupils revealed his gossipy thoughts.

Leo scratched his hair embarrassedly and lowered his head to think for a while:
"She said she was a ghost. She was unexpectedly stubborn and would occasionally get angry at me when she was in a bad mood. I actually didn't really understand what she was thinking... hehehehe..."

At this point, Leo couldn't help but smirk.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Women's hearts are as deep as the sea. Women are simply the most mysterious in the world. Poor Leo was played in the palm of that guy's hand."

Zapp's voice came from behind Zheng Shu. He didn't know when he had ended his quarrel with Zhen and quietly came over to listen to the gossip.

Not only Zapp, but Jane, who had quarreled with him before, also stood aside silently with her reduced presence and listened attentively.

Even Stephen, who was processing documents in the distance, slowed down his movements noticeably.

"That's... that's what I'm saying..."

Leo also came back to his senses from his silly smile. He felt a little guilty when he saw that he had inexplicably become the focus of everyone.

"Don't feel guilty, young man. A sweet and sour love like yours is a treasure to us. Tell us more!"

Zheng Shu sat on the sofa with a satisfied look on his face, sipping tea and urging others to come, as if he was treating the gossip as a snack to go with his tea.

"No, no, there aren't many things..."

At this point, Leo fell silent:

"Yes, I know nothing about her... or Xiaobai's affairs."

He recalled the time when he took Xiaobai out of the hospital and went to the open-air cinema to watch a comedy movie, and the other person's strange crying, as well as some other mysteries he observed.

"I didn't even know why she was crying at that time. I didn't know what she was carrying or what she was thinking."

Speaking of this, he thought of Xiaobai's brother Xiaohei.

Although they felt a little strange when they first met, their similar temperaments soon made them become friends.

But Leo could clearly feel that both Xiaobai and Xiaohei were hiding something from him.

Although he knew very well that having one or two secrets in this city was nothing special, Leo still felt vaguely uneasy.

The source of that uneasiness came from certain truths that he had seen with his own eyes when he met Xiaobai.

Looking at Leo who had unconsciously fallen into deep thought, the others who were ready to listen to gossip looked at each other in confusion.

Although they didn't know what had happened to cause Leo's attitude to change so quickly, they knew that this was Leo's private matter and not something they could get involved in.

So, the people who had originally gathered around Leo slowly dispersed, giving him enough space and time to think calmly.

Even Jed, who was in a large fish tank, took out a special book from somewhere, turned his back and floated in the water to read it.

"It seems that today's interview ends here."

Zheng Shu shrugged indifferently, put down the teacup in his hand, expressed his gratitude and praise to Mr. Gilbert as usual, waved goodbye to the people present, and then left with his hands in his pockets.

After leaving the building of Libra, Zheng Shu casually opened a space crack and came to the dark space of Feimto almost seamlessly.

"Oh? Here we come."

Feimto, who was lying leisurely on the recliner, had already anticipated Zheng Shu's arrival. He nodded as a greeting, then stood up, created a crack in space, and stretched out his hand to invite Zheng Shu to come over.

"Let's go, Aluel should be ready."

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"It doesn't matter. I'll have to trouble you again in a couple of days anyway." Feimto lay back on the recliner.

The two sides didn't say much. Zheng Shu quickly found the elder Alul El who had moved away in a hurry through the coordinates provided by Feimto.

"Mr. Zheng Shu, thank you for coming. We are deeply honored."

Elder Alul, who has a huge external brain and looks like a fly's head, was waiting outside the space crack early.

His two bodyguards had already knelt on the ground respectfully, waiting for Zheng Shu's arrival.

"Elder Aluel, I am sorry to trouble you again this time."

Zheng Shu nodded with a smile on his face. Although he didn't say much, just a smile and a greeting were enough to make this elder at the pinnacle of power in another world so excited that his body trembled.

"It is our honor to serve you..."

"I don't have much time this time. Is the lab I need ready?"

Zheng Shu forcibly interrupted Alul's attempt at a long-winded compliment, because he really didn't have much time, so he came to this elder to borrow his laboratory that could regulate time.

"Of course, please follow me. The laboratory is ready, and the time multiplier has been adjusted to the maximum as you requested."

The experienced Alul understood the way to get along with Zheng Shu from just a few words. He acted decisively without hesitation and brought him to the door of the laboratory.

"I may need it for a whole day this time, so I'm sorry to bother you with the energy."

Zheng Shu looked at the light gate in front of him, felt the time distortion inside, nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out a finger to reveal a faint white light.

"This is my reward for borrowing your land. It should be useful to you."

"Ah! You are so kind. It is my honor to serve you..."

Zheng Shu ignored Alul'el's nagging. He flicked his hand to send light into Alul'el's body and then stepped into the light gate.

Behind him, Alul El, who had received the light spot, suddenly stood still.

After a long time, until the two bodyguards beside him began to worry that something had happened to their boss, Alul El slowly opened his eyes.

"How generous..."

With a long sigh, Alul El looked at his two bodyguards with a serious expression.

"Stay outside and don't let anyone get close!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the two bodyguards who quickly ran out of the palace, Alul El did not wander around, but sat carefully in front of the light gate to guard it.

After all, the reward that Zheng Shu had given before had far exceeded the limit of his inner expectations. Even because the reward was too generous, this veteran from another world began to feel a little worried.

"Such a small thing doesn't seem to be worth such a generous reward. Let me think... This person seems to like that close-knit organization in that city?"

Recalling the questions Klaus had asked him and the reports from his own spies about the recent series of situations, Alul hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.

"Forget it. Although it would be a huge loss if I intervene to help those guys now, it's nothing more than some personal relationships and interests. At worst, I'll just have to fight with those old guys again."

After taking another cautious look at the light behind him, an expectant smile appeared on Alul El's face.

"They are all small losses, small losses!"

……

……

The next morning.

Klaus and Stephen secretly met with Police Chief Daniel Low again.

During the meeting between the two parties, Inspector Daniel Lo issued an additional commission regarding the family gang of the Reggio brothers.

A few days ago, thousands of second-hand power armors manufactured by a certain Eastern country were exported, but no information about the buyer was found after searching the entire world.

In the end, we can only confirm that the goods were probably transported by an organization called "Bottomless Suitcase", and the buyer was none other than the alien mafia that had been in trouble recently.

Because the enemies were too numerous and their whereabouts were secretive, the police chief was short-staffed, so Inspector Daniel Luo once again asked Libra to help.

With the premise of the last cooperation, the two sides reached an agreement on this cooperation very quickly.

However, after discussing all the conditions and about to leave, Inspector Daniel Luo stopped again.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to add? Or have you figured it out? Why did you capture us here just now?"

Stephen looked relaxed, but his muscles under his suit were tense, ready to guard against the opponent's attack at any time.

"No..." Inspector Daniel Lowe seemed to find it difficult to speak.

After struggling for a long time, he finally lowered his head dejectedly: "Sorry, I can't investigate further."

This sentence was said without any beginning or end, and it sounded incomprehensible, but Stephen frowned and immediately reacted.

What the other party was talking about was exactly the strange things they discovered after their last cooperation. After that, their investigation was subject to many restrictions and obstacles. Although they had been working hard silently, there was still not much progress.

Inspector Daniel Lowe can be said to be an absolutely confident paranoid. In other words, anyone who can survive in this crazy city and take charge of the overall situation basically has more or less paranoid traits.

It is no exaggeration to say that this guy is not even afraid of death. To be able to make such a person suddenly want to give up...

Recalling the family information about Inspector Daniel Lowe, Stephen frowned deeply.

"Your brother was threatened? Are those guys crazy?!"

Inspector Daniel Luo didn't say anything else, but just nodded in silence with a grim expression.

Although Hersharemz Lot is still nominally under the rule of the United States, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the city had actually become independent the moment it signed the contract with the other world, and it is a true country within a country.

The top ruling class of Hersharemz is divided into three departments, namely Femto, the Warlock Association, and the Police Department.

Among them, the one with the highest power is naturally the city manager Feimto.

Although this guy has been doing whatever he wants in the city, and every time he causes incidents with large numbers of casualties, from a "legal" point of view, he has not even violated the law, because the entire city can be considered his property according to the treaty.

It's just because it's too troublesome, Feimuto usually doesn't care about the city's affairs, and the exercise of his power basically only stays at the level of playing some pranks every once in a while.

Judging from the actual policy operation of the city, he as the city manager can be completely considered non-existent.

Under Femto, the Warlock Guild has the highest legal authority within Hersharemz.

However, this force is similar to Fimto's situation. The Warlock Association is mainly concerned with the maintenance of the Hersharemz Great Barrier and does not have much interest in ruling the city.

Therefore, in actual operation, the Police Department of Hersharemz is the highest authority in the city with actual law enforcement power.

As the highest-ranking officer of the police department, Inspector Daniel Lowe is, under normal circumstances, the most powerful person in the city.

For such an important position, if the American senior officials are not stupid, they will definitely have a backup plan.

Inspector Daniel Lowe is indeed a candidate who perfectly meets the requirements of the major supernatural forces in both the alien world and the human world. He is capable, responsible, and just to the point of being paranoid. It is basically impossible for anyone to influence him by using interests or threats to his life.

But such a person still has his own weakness: his twin brother.

Life threats do not work, but that changes when it comes to his brother.

However, the US top leaders are not too stupid. They know very well that even if they have weaknesses in their own hands, if they use them frequently, they will definitely cause backlash from the other side.

After all, the twin brother of Inspector Daniel Lowe is in a sense the same type of person as his brother. When he realizes that he will become his brother's "weakness", this paranoid guy may even commit suicide to break the "confinement".

Therefore, the younger brother of Police Chief Daniel Low has always been well protected by the government. He works outside Hersharemz and can occasionally meet his brother in his free time.

Although he doesn't have much power, he can still lead several police teams to eliminate criminals to satisfy his paranoid sense of justice and make them let down their guard.

In this case, as his trump card against Inspector Daniel Lowe, this method of threatening his brother can be used almost every time.

Inspector Daniel Lowe is not stupid. The fact that he can be threatened means that the other party has indeed produced real evidence.

Considering the current situation of Daniel Lowe's brother, who could be a real threat to his life...

Stephen closed his eyes and thought slowly, and basically had several possibilities in his mind.

While the other party successfully threatened Inspector Daniel Lowe to stop the investigation, they also demonstrated their influence indirectly.

After all, the number of forces that can have this level of influence is quite limited.

"I see. Thank you very much for the information."

After hearing Stephen's reply, Inspector Daniel Luo didn't say much. He just waved his hand and left with a sullen face.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Stephen was just about to leave with Cross when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, I'm Stephen..."
