He got through right away and heard Qin Feng’s voice. “Brother, is the place sealed off? Are you unable to go in? I’ll let the department know so they can let you in.”
Zhou Kai said, “Brother Qin, you said before that I’d get 500 million when I solved the problem. Is that still true?”
Qin Feng laughed. “Brother, although we just interacted with each other today, I work for the Analogous Department and I’m the person in charge of the branch. I don’t go back on my words and ruin my reputation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be the person in charge.”
Zhou Kai answered, “Great. Come to the Grand View Hotel with the money.”
Qin Feng was stunned. “Brother…”
Zhou Kai replied, “I’m currently on the highest floor of the Grand View Hotel. Yes, I’ve captured two evil thoughts, but I killed one of them. The other one has also been sealed. Come over and check on them so that we can complete this deal.”
Qin Feng was speechless.
Is that for real? It hasn’t been long since I called him. Someone else would have still been considering whether to take on the mission, yet this brother has already taken care of it? He’s incredibly fast!
After hanging up the call, he felt as though he was dreaming.
However, Qin Feng suppressed his inner doubts and excitement and quickly rushed to the location of the anomaly.
If this was true, the Anyang branch would be able to show its face this time. Even though he had mentioned that 24 hours were necessary to do this, the problem had been solved in less than half that time. Such a speed would definitely make the local officials value them, and it would be really beneficial to the future restoration and establishment of the Anyang branch.
Half an hour later, Qin Feng arrived at the Grand View Hotel.
While he stood at the entrance, he was aware of the changes inside the place right away. The terrifying things lurking inside were completely gone.
He had a pleasantly-surprised expression on his face, as he had been surprised by Zhou Kai.
Young people these days were more than just a little impressive.
He wondered which lineage of the Dao Alliance had groomed such an outstanding disciple.
Qin Feng ran straight to the highest floor and soon saw Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai was drinking juice while leaning against a sofa. Based on his carefree and calm appearance, it didn’t seem that he had solved an anomaly case that the Anyang branch had been unable to.
“Brother, you’re here.” Zhou Kai got up to greet him with a chuckle.
Qin Feng replied with a smile, “You’ve made me view you in a different light. I can only say this much: I’m impressed.”
Zhou Kai said modestly, “You’ve overpraised me. I mainly relied on Little Leopard Cat. Without her help, I couldn’t have dealt with the evil thoughts here so quickly.”
Qin Feng cast a glance at Little Leopard Cat, who was smiling and did not object at all.
This was what the two of them had discussed previously. Zhou Kai had given Little Leopard Cat the most credit. In return, she would get a million as a reward for this mission!
The little girl tried to count how much food a million could buy her, but she couldn’t calculate. Therefore, she agreed with him firmly.
Qin Feng laughed and did not ask him anything else.
They were all grown-ups who knew that they should not go overboard.
“Alright. I will transfer the reward for handling this anomaly to your account within two hours. It’ll be 500 million. Nothing less than that, and there will be no need to pay taxes. This is a benefit for handling the anomaly case.” Qin Feng did not add any superfluous words. He just told Zhou Kai what he was most concerned about.
Zhou Kai smiled satisfactorily and picked up the shattered Rubik’s cube and sealed stone before handing them to Qin Feng.
Since he couldn’t exchange the evil thoughts of the enchanting woman and the old man for more money, and given the fact that those two were Zhou Kai’s experiments on captive-breeding anomalies and his tools to tame and train, he would be more delighted if the experiment succeeded than he was about the 500-million reward.
After all, money was secondary. Supernatural powers were fundamental.
Qin Feng checked to ensure that these things were real.
One evil thought had been completely obliterated, while the other had been sealed.
Qin Feng knew how terrifying the sealed one was and could even sense how great the Exorcism power was.
This made Qin Feng more and more curious about Zhou Kai’s background.
The purer the power of Dao cultivation, the more it showed the power and longevity of inheritance.
Only sects that had existed since ancient times had the methods to cultivate such power.
Qin Feng, who was silently surprised, shifted his gaze slightly and asked, “Brother, the Analogous Department of Anyang will soon be expanded. Are you interested in a position?”
Zhou Kai laughed.
I already have 500 million. I’m a multi-millionaire. I can be free and carefree. Why should I work for you? What can a mere Analogous Department branch do? How much can they pay me per month? There might even be all sorts of trouble. I can’t do it.
“Brother, if you had said this in the morning, I definitely would have agreed. However, I’m sorry. I like being free.”
Qin Feng’s gaze moved.
This guy must have obtained some insider information.
He’s indeed from an ancient sect and he is well-informed.
“Ha ha… It’s fine. I understand. It was a pleasure working with you this time. You’ll have to help me with any future missions,” Qin Feng said with a laugh.
Zhou Kai replied with a smile, “That’ll be no problem. Anything can be discussed as long as I’m getting paid right.”
After exchanging conventional greetings with the man, Zhou Kai chose to take his leave.
He had been busy for more than half a day and had suffered through all kinds of pain and torture, which had exhausted him. He only wanted to go back and have a good night’s sleep now.
Zhou Kai and Little Leopard Cat left the hotel through the sealed-off area by using a card that Qin Feng had given him.
After returning to the small courtyard, Zhou Kai immediately entered deep sleep on the bed, leaving Little Leopard Cat crouching by his side. She gazed at him for a long time while thinking about some matters.
Time passed slowly, and the ringing sound of a cell phone was heard after some time.
Zhou Kai, who was sleeping deeply, was awakened by it. He had already grabbed the cell phone and put it beside his ear before even opening his eyes.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.” A dignified middle-aged man’s voice was heard.
When the familiar voice entered his ears, Zhou Kai opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, “What’s the matter?”
“Are you still sleeping? I paid for your schooling, yet you’re sleeping?” The dignified man’s voice clearly expressed dissatisfaction.
Zhou Kai frowned and responded, “You called me just to say this?”
“What kind of attitude is that? I’m your father.” The voice on the other side was furious.
Zhou Kai laughed. “You still remember that you’re my father, yet you’ve never spent a birthday with your son or celebrated New Year’s with him. In all these decades, we’ve only met a few times. Is that what being a father is like?”
The dignified man’s voice went silent.
Zhou Kai, who didn’t want to say anything superfluous, instead said, “Is there anything else? Otherwise, I’m hanging up. I’m tired.”
The dignified male voice said, “I have something to tell you. Your living expenses will be cut in half in the future. Find your mother if you don’t have enough.”
Oh!
Zhou Kai raised his brows. Before he could speak, the dignified male voice added, “I’ve recently invested too much in a business, so I’m having some difficulty with my cash flow. I…”
“There’s no need for that.” Before the dignified male voice could finish, Zhou Kai interrupted him.
“What did you say?”
“I said, you don’t have to give me money for living expenses anymore in the future. I can support myself now, so my limited living expenses will not affect your big business,” Zhou Kai said coldly.
What kind of bullsh*t business was this that he’d had to abandon his wife and son and married another woman for the sake of wealth? He looked well-dressed and he seemed to be successful, but in reality, all the decisions he made had to conform to that woman’s wishes.
Since he was being tied down, rather than wrangling with him, he would rather cut off all ties with his father and let the two of them go their separate ways.
The dignified male voice once again fell silent for a while. “Little Kai, I’m sorry. I…”
“There’s nothing else, right? I’m hanging up.” As Zhou Kai said that, he hung up the phone decisively. Just as he was about to throw his cell phone and go back to sleep, he paused and looked at his phone. According to it, this day was Tuesday the 19th.
F*ck, I’ve slept for two days!
