I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

South Federation, outside the Victor Grand Hotel.

Evening. The silvery moonlight lightly sprinkled across the night sky, but it was easily overshadowed by the brightly lit city itself. If one didn't look carefully, it would be impossible to notice that the moon was already high in the sky.

Right across from the hotel, in a dark alley, three figures slowly emerged.

Standing at the front was a man with Eastern Federation features, so ordinary in appearance that if he were lost in a crowd, it would be impossible to pick him out again. No one would have thought that he was the Shadow, the current Minister of the Investigation Department.

Following closely behind him was a young man with glasses, dressed in a refined and scholarly manner. He was Nie Chengyu, a New Liberal Party member, from the Nie family, whose influence was no less than that of the Shu family.

However, unlike most young members of other families, Nie Chengyu's name was quite well-known within the Federation, because he was almost entirely self-made as a councilor. His achievements would guarantee any other politician without a background a meteoric rise, at most reaching this position a few years later than him.

Although he did receive help from his family, and Nie Chengyu wouldn't have grown into what he was today if he hadn't been born into such a family, few other young members of other families could achieve what he had.

You should know that although some of those young people are unmotivated, there are also many outstanding ones among them. After all, they are born to enjoy almost the best education and training resources in the world, and with a little talent, they can become talents.

And in this situation, they couldn't miss any geniuses.

Nie Chengyu is a "political" genius, and he is here to represent the non-powered politicians to jointly lead this negotiation with Shadow, the Minister of the Investigation Department. The two of them are the leaders and decision-makers of this negotiation.

In fact, although they both have the right to decide, Nie Chengyu's decision, representing the politicians, is more representative of the will of the Federation itself in this negotiation, and Shadow's identity is closer to that of an expert.

The third "guest" was a Western Federation man in a brown suit, looking to be in his thirties. Unlike Shadow and Nie Chengyu, he was not a member of the Federation at all, but a well-known wild ability user, "Six Eyes."

As a well-known wild Tier V ability user, Six Eyes often cooperates with various organizations, because he is an extremely rare top tracker in the world, and also the only one among them willing to sell his skills for profit.

This time, he was hired by the Federation to try to lock onto Ma En in the Victor Grand Hotel, and start tracking his location directly after he leaves.

"The target should already be waiting for us inside," Shadow said. "Do you have anything else to prepare?"

Six Eyes said nothing, maintaining the taciturn demeanor of a professional.

Nie Chengyu said:

"Lord Shadow, do you think we can seize this opportunity to directly arrest the target?"

As a politician, Nie Chengyu especially hoped that they could take the opportunity to capture Ma En. This dangerous ability user had killed his "kind" recently, and was also related to the Shenxiao that they were most worried about.

It's better to kill ability users who dare to kill politicians like this, not only because they must kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and deter other ability users.

It is also because these ability users, regardless of their strength, are like farmed tigers who have accidentally eaten human flesh. If Ma En is allowed to continue living, he will think that politicians can also become his prey.

This is a wrong idea that must be eradicated in time, otherwise this kind of thinking will continue to grow and spread, infiltrating the minds of other ability users before they notice it and taking root, becoming weeds that can never be cleaned up.

"I will do my best," Shadow replied. "However, although Lord Six Eyes and I are both extremely powerful and professional ability users in our own fields, the Victor Grand Hotel itself should not be underestimated.

"Moreover, Ma En has already demonstrated a strong ability to hide, so I don't think we can track down his hiding place through this negotiation itself, at least the possibility is not high.

"However, I don't think we necessarily need to consider this matter."

Nie Chengyu showed an eager expression and humbly asked for advice:

"How so?"

Shadow said:

"I think we don't need to track him at all. As long as we use the chips in our hands well, we can subdue him. You may find it a bit difficult to imagine, but I actually think Ma En may be particularly concerned about You Yue's life and death.

"He might even submit to it."

Nie Chengyu showed an understanding expression and nodded slightly in agreement:

"I see, it's understandable. After all, Ma En was born in an orphanage and has only lived for a short twenty years, so he is easily strongly influenced by these emotions."

The expression on his face when he said this was as if he were very mature.

Hearing this, Six Eyes finally couldn't help but interject:

"Or perhaps the love that these so-called commoners in your eyes feel may be far warmer than that between you cold-blooded lizards, so they care more about their families than you do."

"No, my family loves me very much. My parents are very clear that love is the best way to educate," Nie Chengyu offered a different opinion with a smile, but he didn't completely deny Six Eyes. "But what you said also makes sense. I haven't thought about it from this perspective before."

Six Eyes curled his lips and muttered in an inaudible tone:

"Idiot, you said that the love of you politicians is only for 'education'."

Actually, Nie Chengyu, who heard what Six Eyes said, still had a faint smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard it at all. He turned his head to look at Shadow, who was standing in front of him on his side.

"So you think we can directly make Ma En submit," he asked curiously. "But I think that a high-level ability user with his rich experience won't just submit like that.

"Although the time before the negotiation is very tight, I have also carefully studied this Ma En. He seems to be quite capable. If he hadn't gone astray, he would have been quite suitable to work for our Federation.

"Unfortunately, now he can only be reduced to our prisoner. He might even lose his life."

When he said this, his tone was really filled with some regret, as if he regretted Ma En's fate, but even if he didn't deliberately show it, Shadow could still detect that this "regret" carried a deep-seated arrogance.

Being able to reach his current position at such a young age, how could he not have some arrogance?

And being able to restrain himself from showing this side also proves that Nie Chengyu actually knows his problems in his heart, but he can't do it perfectly yet, otherwise he would have ridiculed him like other politicians.

Everyone has their own flaws. Nie Chengyu is already very good at doing what he is doing at twenty-two years old. When he reaches his age, he will naturally become much calmer, and then his career will become smoother.

Even in Shadow's eyes, Nie Chengyu's achievements in his field are not much worse than the dangerous ability user they are about to meet, and Nie Chengyu's life is better than his.

Although they are both leaders in their own lives, Nie Chengyu is walking on a path that will not collapse, while Ma En, as he said, has taken the wrong path, which has laid the groundwork for his tragic fate.

Thinking of this, Shadow also felt a few more sincere regrets than Nie Chengyu, after all, he really appreciated this potential young ability user at that time.

Ma En can do anything with unlimited potential, but he has to collude with Shenxiao.

Shadow sighed slightly in his heart, and then began to answer Nie Chengyu's doubts:

"That's right, ordinary ability users may not be so easy to deal with as you said, and those particularly fanatical Shenxiao followers may sacrifice everything for their ideals, but Ma En is not that kind of person.

"Although he doesn't easily reveal his thoughts, it is difficult for ordinary people to see through him, but I am a Tier V telepath, so I can directly 'read minds' without using my ability.

"So I can see that Ma En is the kind of person who will compromise for his family.

"And hasn't he shown up now?"

After hearing this, Nie Chengyu nodded heavily:

"I understand, then I just need to constantly tear off his disguise and rhetoric, and push him towards the bottom line that I can understand, right?"

He had 100% trust in Shadow's words. After all, Shadow's identity in this negotiation is an anomaly expert. If they even doubt the expert's words, then why bother bringing him here?

Shadow replied:

"That's right, just pay attention to this point. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Nie Chengyu shook his head slightly:

"No, if I have any questions at that time, just remind me in my mind."

Shadow nodded:

"Then let's go."

The shadow instantly swallowed the entire alley, and then after Nie Chengyu reacted, the world in his eyes was filled with soft orange-yellow light, and then he realized in a trance where he was.

They were standing in the hallway of the hotel, and right in front of them was the room that Ma En claimed in the message.

Shadow raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Ma En?"

"I'm here, the door is unlocked," a relaxed young male voice came from inside.

Although they hadn't seen Ma En's face yet, Shadow and Nie Chengyu both felt that Ma En was pretending to be relaxed. After all, he couldn't really be so comfortable at this time, and Ma En was originally a person who didn't easily reveal his emotions.

Even if he was so nervous that he was about to die, he might still be able to greet them with a smile without changing his expression.

Click.

Shadow raised his hand, turned the handle, and pushed the door open.

The scene inside was not particularly surprising. This was a very ordinary-looking living room, but Ma En seemed to have slightly adjusted the position of the furniture, placing the table horizontally in the center and leaving a few chairs for them.

What surprised them a little was the young girl next to Ma En.

The three walked to the opposite side of Ma En's table and sat down in silence.

Ma En didn't start talking about business, but looked at Shadow, who was directly opposite him, and asked:

"Where's the thing?"

Nothing would be meaningful without the answer to this question.

Shadow raised his right hand slightly, and the black shadow flowing out of his sleeve began to erode the surrounding space, and then a contract that was churning slowly emerged from it, looming.

Ma En stretched out his hand:

"I want to check the goods first."

Shadow replied:

"We can use other contracts to determine that this is the real thing."

Hearing this, Ma En didn't continue to speak, but looked at the girl next to him.

She looked at the contract and said:

"It's the real thing."

Shadow took the contract back.

After confirming that this was the real thing, Ma En slowly showed a warm smile, then stood up directly and began to greet the guests in front of him:

"Would you like something to drink? It's provided by the hotel, so don't worry about me poisoning it."

The other two didn't move at all, but Nie Chengyu spoke up and said:

"Is there coffee?"

Hearing this, Ma En got up unhurriedly and made him a cup of coffee, and poured himself a glass of purified water before returning to his seat:

"I don't often have the opportunity to prepare drinks myself."

Shadow looked at him and said:

"I never knew you had this side."

Ma En told the truth:

"After all, I'm asking you for something this time, and I did do something wrong.

"It's not a bad thing to lower my posture a little."

Nie Chengyu showed an approving expression:

"That's right, I knew you were a smart person when I was looking at your information.

"If bowing my head could be beneficial, then I would have buried my head in the ground long ago, but unfortunately, bowing my head can't make my career go smoother, and I'm afraid it won't allow you to gain any benefits in the negotiation.

"By the way, the coffee is okay."

Seeing that being soft wasn't working, Ma En began to get tough:

"Let me introduce you, this is You Yue, the girl who wasn't killed when she was twelve years old, and also the pitiful person corresponding to the soul in the contract in your hands. You probably haven't seen her yet, right?"

You Yue said with a cold face:

"You can call me Long Qin."

Nie Chengyu said with a smile:

"Nice to meet you, I sincerely hope that a beautiful girl like you can live for a few more years."

While speaking, he glanced at Ma En, his expression seemed to be saying that how long you can live depends on your brother.

Ma En took a sip of water, and then calmly said:

"Now that things have reached this point, then I'll be frank. I don't want You Yue to die, but I will never submit because of her. In fact, this is not my own opinion.

"This is You Yue's decision."

You Yue looked at them calmly and said:

"That's right, I don't care what you want to do, I won't let you threaten my brother with my life. Since it's a flaw that I left behind, I'll just use my life to bear it."

These words briefly shocked Nie Chengyu. At this moment, he even really felt that Ma En couldn't back down.

"This is the truth," even Shadow looked at You Yue and said, but then he turned to look at Ma En, "Why don't you learn from your honest sister and stop spouting lies."

Ma En looked back at him indifferently:

"Believe it or not."

Shadow laughed:

"Lying to me isn't a wise move. You're good at controlling your emotions, but ultimately, you're not a top-tier professional actor. You can't perfectly convey their thoughts.

"You Yue is telling the truth. She is indeed willing to die for you; that's your luck. But you lied; you aren't willing to sacrifice her, and that's her luck.

"But it's a pity, because this is actually unfortunate for both of you."
