Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

The white wolf was puzzled, but still obediently followed the guards.

The four walked further and further into the remote area, until they reached a corner of the management bureau.

It was a separate courtyard with the words "Ministry of Internal Affairs" written in brass on the gate.

One guard went over to hand over the duties at the post, while the other gestured for White Wolf to go inside.

As the white wolf walked in and turned a corner, he saw Cen Feiyu staring blankly at the sky.

"Old Cen?"

Upon hearing this address, Cen Feiyu's eyebrows twitched noticeably.

He turned his head and said calmly, "Yang Kai, the richest man in the Nanyang region, will contact you later. We hope you can get more details about that mirror."

"Understood. Don't worry, Lu Hao is my mortal enemy. I will definitely do my best!" White Wolf said very seriously.

Even now, he still feels lingering fear.

From all perspectives, Lu Hao had already decided to defect when the two met for the last time.

He even wanted me to come along with him.

If it weren't for wanting to say goodbye to Yu Zhou in person, I probably would have gone along without a second thought.

Lu Hao was already strong, and his sword qi burst was even more astonishing.

Furthermore, given that he was caught off guard by the enemy's cunning, White Wolf didn't think his fate would be any better than that of Class C.

Cen Feiyu nodded, turned around and led the white wolf into a building not far away.

There were seven people sitting inside.

Wei Zhou, the chairman of the aftermath committee whom I had met before, was also among them.

But the first to speak was a man with a large beard whose muscles seemed to be bulging out.

The bearded man extended his hand: "Minister of the Interior, Ding Jian. You must be White Wolf? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

White Wolf quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "Hello, Ding Bu! Just call me Little Wolf."

Ding Jian didn't mince words: "Little Wolf, remember this, the policies in the Nanyang region are a bit different from ours. They don't restrict the possession of non-standard items there... so we can't be too forceful, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!" White Wolf nodded. "Don't worry, I will get the information even if I beg."

"There's no need to be so humble. Just pay attention to the details. Always remember, you have the East Region behind you!"

Ding Jian smiled with satisfaction, then released his hand and pointed to the corner.

There is a podium there.

The white wolf wisely walked over, and then heard a sound coming from behind.

"Five seconds countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Activate!"

The white wolf quickly cleared its throat.

Just as it was finished, a beam of light shone onto the whiteboard on the other side.

The air suddenly heated up, and the image flickered.

Once things settled down, a man who looked gentle and scholarly appeared on the projection screen.

The white wolf greeted him first: "Hello, sir. I heard you were looking for me?"

The man smiled and gazed at the white wolf for several seconds before nodding: "Indeed, it has some of the charm I had in my youth."

"Huh?" White Wolf looked at Ding Jian and the others, somewhat bewildered.

This is the beginning!

Am I the illegitimate son of the richest man in the Nanyang area?

Ding Jian and the others also looked solemn, not at all like they knew the truth.

"Haha! That's not what I meant." The man waved his hand. "I was talking about your looks and your demeanor. Seriously, I looked like that when I was young. Girls would scream when they saw me."

"Sir, if you go out now, the girls will scream," White Wolf said politely.

"It's different." The man pursed his lips, changing the subject. "I heard you chopped off Ning Xiao's hand?"

"Yes, it's me." White Wolf stared at the expression on the projection, quickly trying to guess the thoughts of the richest man in the South Pacific region.

Seeing that Ding Jian and the others gave no instructions, he gritted his teeth and added, "And I heard that he has already been killed."

The man paused, blinked slowly, and then tears inexplicably streamed down his face.

White Wolf thought he had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends.

"Hey! Hey! Don't be sad, we will definitely bring the culprit to justice..."

Unexpectedly, the man cried and laughed at the same time, repeatedly saying, "No, no, I'm so happy!"

He picked up a bottle of wine from the side, and it took him a while to fill the glass with his trembling hands.

He gulped it down and said directly, "Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

White Wolf briefly recounted the whole story.

The man remained silent after listening.

White Wolf glanced at the leaders, pondering how to steer the conversation back to the mirror.

The man suddenly blurted out, "When I was a child, Ning Xiao and I were classmates."

"Back then, I was very poor, but I was very popular with girls. Ning Xiao was the complete opposite; he was rich and surrounded by all sorts of buddies."

"I was bullied... Later I got into university and came to Southeast Asia."

"On the contrary, he stayed in the same place and rose all the way to become the principal of Liancheng High School."

"Then he contacted me that day and said I was an honorary alumnus. Fuck him!"

The man took another big gulp of wine.

"This mirror was made by a branch of our witchcraft sect. I gave it to him to ruin his reputation!"

White Wolf recalled that his teachers had mentioned at school that this mirror was originally meant to be displayed at the final pep rally before the college entrance examination.

If Principal Ning Xiao were to tear off the red cloth in public, he would really be in serious trouble.

"But you didn't expect the mirror to have been opened beforehand," White Wolf sighed.

"Nonsense, isn't it normal to be exposed prematurely?" The man chuckled. "But I know even more how greedy he is."

"The Eastern Region does not allow any private ownership or sale of non-native species."

"He's just the principal of Liancheng High School; the school doesn't actually belong to him. But if this thing were sold, it could buy hundreds of Liancheng High Schools. If he knew that, he wouldn't be able to resist."

"It's greed at work!"

The white wolf couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't quite understand either.

Ning Xiao, now the principal, already has countless students and mentors.

What good is the money from a few hundred Liancheng High Schools?

Can he even spend all of it?

But in fact, Ning Xiao did just that.

It can only be said that this richest man truly understands Ning Xiao.

"Well... sir, could you please tell me about the properties of that mirror? We are currently searching for the murderer," White Wolf asked.

"Call me Brother Kai!" The man downed another gulp of wine.

"Yes, Brother Kai! Please!" White Wolf clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Originally, I should have helped the murderer who killed Ning Xiao to cover up the news." The richest man, Kai Ge, shook his head. "But your junior really resembles me back then. I'll have the witchcraft faction explain it to you in detail."

He clicked a few times on the remote control panel on the desktop.

The projection suddenly split into two parts: one showing Yang Kai, the richest man in China, and the other showing that the connection was being established.

Meanwhile, all the leaders in the Ministry of the Interior were on high alert.

However, the witchcraft faction did not answer for a long time.

Seeing this, Kai waved to a servant beside him: "Go and find them! See what's going on."

After the servant left, Kai Ge smiled and said, "Let me start by talking about what I know."

"This mirror was created based on an infant who was pampered from a young age and died prematurely."

"When it's reflected in a mirror, it can display a person's deepest fears and greatest desires in the most distorted way."

The white wolf asked, "What if it were inlaid in a sword?"

The mirror in Lu Hao's hand was only the size of a coin, making it difficult even to see himself.

"Then I don't know." Kai shook his head.

The white wolf then asked, "Can your mirror... communicate with humans?"

Otherwise, there's no way to explain how Lu Hao knew the core of that thing and took it away so precisely.

"Communication? No, right?" Kai was clearly confused. "Never mind, let's wait and see what the sorcery faction says..."

Suddenly, the servant who had just left reappeared in the projection.

He scrambled and stumbled, as if he had forgotten how to walk.

"My lord! It's terrible! Elder Wangli is dead... The entire witchcraft branch has been dead for at least two months, it's full of corpses, it's horrific!"

"Two months? That shouldn't be!" Kai was clearly stunned. "They just gave me the mirror a month ago!"

White Wolf gasped.

He quickly asked, "Brother Kai, do you remember anything?"

"That's all, it's all here." Kai shook his head. "Wait, I have to go! Damn it, something's not right, I have to go."

After he finished speaking, the projection disappeared.

White Wolf looked at Ding Jian.

Ding Jian and the others looked extremely pale.

Soon, several orders were issued.

The arrest warrant for District 492 was escalated two levels, and the incident was treated as a high-level alien invasion.

The internal investigation of Fang Chi and others was directly cancelled.

All senior personnel were immediately dispatched to begin searching for Lu Hao and the core of the mirror.

Amidst the chaos, Cen Feiyu found Bai Lang: "Your mission is complete, but the post-mission review process is still underway, so the reward may be delayed."

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry."

White Wolf is very understanding of the current leaders.

"Since you have some free time, why don't you get another test done and update your information and permissions?" Cen Feiyu glanced at the white wolf's chest. "Your Cloud Yang Skill is maxed out, right?"
