"But strangely enough, that slum is different from other low-level cities' slums."
"Most slums in other low-level cities are quite chaotic, and even if they manage to maintain some order, it's usually controlled by gangs or desperados."
"As a result, that slum was actually controlled by a newly emerged sect."
"A sect?" Hearing Black Bull's words, a beautiful young woman with a pair of black wings gently twirled her hair as she curiously asked, "What sect?"
Black Bull thought for a moment and said, "It's called the 'Devil Sect.'
''Devil...''? What is that?" A few people clearly didn't understand the meaning of the word "devil," so they were somewhat puzzled.
Black Bull simply said, "That's not important."
"It might just be an Awakener playing tricks there."
"As long as they keep it small, it's fine, but once they really get big, the Security Bureau won't turn a blind eye and will quickly exterminate them."
He paused and then said, "What's important is that the sect has strong discipline and control over the slum."
"As soon as our people went in, they were discovered."
"Not to mention gathering information, they were even almost caught."
"So, regarding the situation of the young master there, I've hardly obtained any information."
"However, although I don't have information on the young master's past, I have investigated his present."
"So... I have some doubts."
Saying this, he took out several documents, distributed them to everyone, and then spoke with a serious expression, "After coming out from the slum, this young master joined the Security Bureau and started serving the federation."
"If he truly is the young master, his nanny wouldn't have failed to tell him that the federation and the Jiang Family were the ones who harmed his entire family."
"Knowing this and still willing to enter the official organization of the federation seems quite unreasonable to me."
"Moreover, previously 'Mist' said that the young master, when using his dark ability, would appear out of nowhere and disappear just as suddenly."
"At that time, I doubted whether he understood the equipment."
"But today, I personally went to see for myself, and the result was the same."
"The young master's power is like water without a source, appearing out of nowhere and disappearing just as unexpectedly."
"Moreover, from my investigation, I learned that the young master is just an Awakener. An Awakener should only have one ability."
"Yet, many people know his power as a potent martial combat ability capable of lethal strikes, not 'darkness.'
"Therefore, like Mist, I'm now skeptical about whether he is the young master."
"I suspect he has merely stolen the power or bloodline of the owner, making use of the 'dark' ability."
Hearing his words, everyone present fell silent.
Just then, 'Black Mist,' who had finished reviewing the documents, suddenly spoke up, "General, my dear colleagues, actually... I've changed my opinion tonight."
Hearing his words, the others couldn't help but look towards him.
Black Bull also looked at him strangely.
After all, Black Mist was the first one to doubt the identity of the young master, which led to others' suspicions. And now, the one who claimed not to doubt was also Black Mist?
Didn't that sound a bit like flip-flopping?
However, Black Mist looked at Black Bull and then said, "Because today, I followed the young master to participate in an operation."
"An operation? What kind of operation?" The others were a bit curious.
Black Mist replied, "An operation to rescue our compatriots."
He said, "I witnessed the young master buying ten of our compatriots from a young merchant, bringing them back home."
"If he's not the young master, why would he secretly rescue our compatriots?"
As he spoke, he slapped the documents in his hand and said, "After all, with his current status as a high-level Awakener, he really doesn't need ordinary Shadow Warriors for assistance or protection."
"As for whether it's as servants or slaves."
He pointed towards the window of Fang Ze's room nearby and said, "You all heard and saw just now. The young master is destitute, without his own property, with absolutely no need for labor."
"So, he must have bought these compatriots to rescue them."
Hearing his words, everyone thought for a while and nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, Black Mist continued, "Regarding what the General said earlier about why the young master joined the Security Bureau and became a member of the federation."
"I suspect the young master might be preparing a massive plan for revenge!"
"A revenge plan?" The winged beauty blinked her eyes.
Black Mist nodded gravely, lifted the documents in his hand, and then said, "General Black Bull only saw that the young master joined the Security Bureau but didn't look closely at what the young master did."
"I took a closer look, so I roughly guessed the young master's intentions."
"You all can see for yourself. Although the young master has done quite a few things since joining the Security Bureau, in the end... he has only been doing one thing."
"And that is cutting off the Jiang Family's wings."
"Others may not know the identity of those people, but having monitored the Jiang Family for so many years, how could we not recognize them?"
"Qiu Yue, Kai Shi, Qianfeng, they are all the Jiang Family's lapdogs."
"The young master entered the Security Bureau, and within less than ten days, he took action against them. For what?"
