Rise of the White Dragon

A strange phenomenon happened.

Everyone who was participating in the criminal investigation into the murder of Bia de Sousa simply stopped what they were doing and went to their homes.

However, when it said everyone, it wasn't quite the truth, some who had already managed to reach the Third Order, were not affected, however, they felt as if something was trying to disturb their minds.

Someone like Investigator Sheron who was close to breaking the barrier and reaching the Third Order came to her senses after she got home and showered.

She was scared yet wary of what happened.

It was already 1 am, and at that time Renato had already left to try to get new information about the case and found out about what had happened.

"Are you sure it will work?" Nora asked as she placed the bodies of cultivators huddled in front of a large door.

Luan understood her distrust, but he gave her a reassuring smile: "I already told you about the 'evolution' of Leviathan, yes? So, I'll use that to my advantage and take the Qi and Stamina from those corpses and direct them to the secret room."

"Mm, yeah, I kind of understand that in theory, but in practice will it work?" Nora asked. She knew it would be Luan's first time wearing it, no wonder she was so skeptical.

"Not one hundred percent, but it's worth a try, yes?" He smiled.

Nora thought and nodded.

If it worked, they would have something that would work to their advantage. A room where time passes differently with a lot of Qi, it was something that would help them get strong 'quickly' without worrying about global change.

While they were talking, the Leviathan already started to work. The Qi of the bodies exited and the vigor as well, heading towards the secret room.

It didn't take long to show results. The secret room's Qi energy was increasing by the meter. It was fast and constant.

Nora rejoiced to see this, "It's working!"

Luan smiled softly, "Yes, it is a great discovery for us."

Lenore next door was happy too. She who tried the room before knew how good it was to have this as a resource.

Cultivators' concerns are not always whether they can get stronger, but whether they simply go into seclusion, and the world changes in such a way that they fall behind.

Going into seclusion for a few years had many advantages, but it also had many disadvantages.

In the end, the secret time room was the best of both worlds.

"My God, I didn't expect being attacked by some wretches would be so rewarding~" Nora said in a rather pleasant tone.

Lenore, seeing her mother acting so coquettishly, pretended to put her finger in her throat, and left.

Nora only blushed for a moment, but then she smiled and laughed.

She didn't even know how long it had been since she'd been this happy. She finally got to be the wife of the man she loves, and had her daughter around, good things happened too... Just thinking about it, she got a silly smile.

"Luan..." Nora's lips curved into a charming smile. She looked at Luan like a maiden in love and said with a slightly shy expression, but in a seductive tone, "How about we test the secret room for you and me for a while?"

The secret room has already recharged long enough using all the corpses Qi and Stamina. But, Luan said, "Wait for Leviathan to finish."

The implication was obvious, he accepted it, but he also didn't want to waste corpses Qi and Stamina.

"Mm." Nora nodded with a nasal sound. Her full, red lips curved into a charming smile as she waited silently with him.

It's been 1 hour since Renato started investigating.

He had managed to get in contact with some of the investigators, most notably Investigator Sheron who said what happened to her which surprised him.

"Someone is somehow manipulating your mind. However, from what I understand, it is not strong enough to control the minds of those above the Third Order, even those in the Second Order like you, it is only able to control for a few hours at most."

"Yea." Investigator Sheron nodded. It was the same thought she had.

"I will help in this case." Renato said with a serious look, "Although I am not an investigator, I have been through a lot in the last few months and my power is well above the Third Order."

Of course, Detective Sheron knew, and so did the rest. The Elite Squad was very well known in the country, they were doing some things from time to time and solving problems that were considered impossible to solve in the current times.

But, one thing was to solve it through force, another thing was to be able to investigate and find the culprit behind the murder of Bia de Sousa.

However, when they saw how serious Renato Lopes was, they agreed, since they had nothing to lose, and it was good to have someone as strong as him around, especially with the possibility of someone controlling their minds, which is something scary.

"Thanks." When they agreed, Renato said it sincerely.

He would investigate even if they refused him to participate, however, it would be very unproductive, as he wouldn't have access to the information they got so far.

Investigator Sheron looked at Renato with different eyes. As a criminal investigator, she already knew almost everything about Bia de Sousa's life, she knew that she was engaged to Renato Lopes and she knew that the engagement ended because he was betrayed by her.

What she didn't expect, was that not only did he care about it, but he was also willing to help find the culprit.

Honestly, she's already read about similar cases, but it was simply the ex-fiancé saying it was karma and that she deserved it, that's why the investigator Sheron was impressed with Renato and saw him with good eyes.
