Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

"In your opinion, would they kill me for a subordinate at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm?"

Baiyuan asked again.

While one cannot completely trust what the person in front of you says, it can at least be used as a reference when combined with the task information released by the system.

"Of course they wouldn't go to great lengths for a servant. They're afraid you'll know too much, afraid those shady things will be exposed. That would be truly fatal to their reputation," the supervisor said, shaking his head.

"I understand, but I've already accepted the trainee mercenary assessment, so I have to stay and complete the mission before I leave."

"Foolish!" the supervisor couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"By entering the Red Mountain World, aren't you just handing them the opportunity to make a move? I chose to stand by before because you were an outsider, but now that you've reported this to the Consumer Association, it's like telling them directly!"

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Now you've dragged me down with you, which is why I'm risking everything to warn you not to walk down a dead end."

Seeing the other party's anxious expression, Baiyuan was already 80% convinced.

With the opponent's cosmic-level strength, there's no need to waste words; if they really wanted to kill him, they would have done so already.

"Don't worry, I value my life more than anyone else, but things haven't reached a dead end yet. In a little while... we'll put on a show together."

"Cooperate?" The supervisor was speechless.

This young man is far too audacious.

Inside the villa area, two staff members in uniform flew in at top speed; they were sent by the Consumer Association.

The next moment, Baiyuan and the supervisor also returned here.

Bai Yuan yelled and cursed, "No way! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a cosmic-level being! I have the Cloud Sea Society behind me, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Kid, don't push your luck!" The supervisor's face was ashen, full of impatience. "This matter ends here! If you cause any more trouble, you'll lose your head!"

Upon seeing this, two staff members quickly stepped forward to dissuade them:

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

Baiyuan grabbed one of them and shouted, "The security in this crappy place is practically non-existent! The assassins were right at my doorstep, and they didn't even notice! I demanded compensation, and instead they threatened me!"

"Hmph, nonsense! Where did this assassin come from? I can't see him. All you're trying to do is extort money!" the manager said coldly.

The two were arguing fiercely, and the staff were also at a loss, so they could only try their best to calm them down.

Once the situation calmed down a bit, one of them asked, "Where's the killer?"

"He's dead," Baiyuan replied.

"Are there any witnesses?"

"You'll have to ask them."

The two then looked at their supervisor, who stated unequivocally, "There were no witnesses, all thirty-eight surveillance cameras were functioning normally, this person is simply trying to extort money."

The two staff members immediately understood.

This wasn't the first time they'd dealt with something like this.

It was clearly the work of some important figure's subordinates who secretly intervened, but this time they failed and were killed instead.

As for the surveillance footage... even if there were any problems, it would have been completely wiped clean long ago.

After figuring everything out, when they looked at Baiyuan again, their eyes were filled with hostility.

"You've made a false report and interfered with official business. Please come with us."

Bai Yuan, adopting the air of a spoiled young master, stood there and shouted, "How did I lie? Let me tell you, I'm a member of the Yunhai Society!"

Just as the two were about to forcibly take the person away, the supervisor stepped forward again and stopped them.

"Gentlemen, please give me some face and let this matter drop. If word gets out, it will negatively impact my business."

The supervisor is, after all, a top-tier figure; we can't refuse to give him that much face.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to stop.

"You'd better behave yourself from now on, or we'll come back again."

After saying that, they turned and left.

As soon as the person left, the supervisor immediately transmitted a message: "Are you really sure about this?"

"Hmm," Baiyuan replied briefly, "I'm betting on this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he blurred and flew rapidly in another direction.

Watching his departing figure, the supervisor remained silent for a long time, finally letting out a soft sigh:

"I don't know what you're planning, but I hope you succeed."

-

Inside the Consumer Association's office, two staff members were reporting what had just happened to the City Lord of Tiansha.

The main body of Tian Sha City is three meters tall, clad in earth-yellow flowing armor, and exudes an aura of authority even when sitting there.

He is the seventh-generation bloodline of the Heavenly Fiend Realm Lord, with outstanding talent and cultivation reaching the sixth level of the Universe Realm. He holds a revered position within the family.

He is one of the key figures in the Consumer Association.

Domain Lord-level powerhouses usually do not reside on the Heavenly Fiend Star, and even less so do they personally concern themselves with such matters.

Upon hearing the report, the Lord of Tiansha City flew into a rage.

"You two idiots! Yunhai Society is the employer! Would they pay to assassinate their own people? You've been played!"

He suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"That person must have sensed something. Find him immediately and clean things up!"

The two staff members were so frightened that they trembled and quickly agreed.

However, just one minute later, another message arrived that enraged the Lord of Tiansha City even more.

"What? He's already entered the Red Mountain World? Send men in immediately! Guard the exit! Kill him at all costs!"

The Lord of Tiansha City slowly sat back down, suppressing the anger in his heart.

After calming down, a strange feeling suddenly surfaced in my mind.

"Something's not right. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, why would someone deliberately head towards them? Is this person simply arrogant and ignorant, or do they have some compelling reason to enter the Red Mountain World?"

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Although he couldn't access the core of some things, he wasn't completely unaware of them.

If he only had ability but no brains, he wouldn't be in his current position.

In the past, the Lord of Xuanming Domain would personally intervene in the affairs of the Consumer Association every so often, sometimes for one or two thousand years, sometimes for twenty or thirty years, without interruption.

But now, a full ten thousand years have passed, and the Lord of Xuanming Domain has not shown himself even once. How can this not make people suspicious?

Four thousand years ago, he took the initiative to request an audience with the Lord of the Xuanming Domain.

Since the domain lord's words and actions were no different from usual, he temporarily put aside his doubts.

As time went by, the matter was gradually forgotten.

Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to allow his subordinates to take on these shady private jobs.

"No! This matter must be reported to the clan chief immediately!"

He dared not delay and quickly compiled the information into a secret message, which he then sent to the clan chief.

All decisions must be made by the clan chief; he cannot afford to take the blame.

Upon receiving the news, the clan leader Tianxu's expression suddenly darkened.

"Knowing it's a dead end, why would he still venture into the Red Mountain World? Has his plan already been exposed? In any case, this person must not be allowed to live!"

On the surface, he is the patriarch of the Heavenly Fiend Realm Master Family, but in reality, he is nothing more than a puppet in the open.

The one who truly held the power of decision was his father, the biological son of the Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Realm.

As for Tianxu himself, although he was the grandson of the Lord of the Heavenly Fiend Realm, he did not receive much attention.

His father had countless concubines and many children, but he was not particularly outstanding among them.

The reason he was able to take the position of clan leader was simply because he was "obedient" enough.
