Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Grudge of Cuckoldry, An Unforgivable Offense
April 27th!
A beautiful day that brings joy to everyone's heart.
The Special Department welcomed a rather unwelcome guest.
At least, this person was the last one One-Eyed Man wanted to see. If he had known the other party was coming, he would have avoided him at all costs, making himself completely unavailable.
Xia Kunyun, an official from the Xia Capital headquarters.
They were classmates at the Advanced Academy. Back then, they were constantly at odds with each other. After graduation, they hadn't seen each other for a while. If Jin Shangwu was the second most hated person by One-Eyed Man, then Xia Kunyun was undoubtedly the first.
The pain of cuckoldry is an unforgivable offense.
"What are you doing in Yanhai City? This place doesn't welcome you, and neither do I. I advise you to leave quickly and don't embarrass yourself here." One-Eyed Man sat in his boss chair, smoking a cigarette, his gaze slanted towards the other man.
The meaning was clear.
Not only is this place not welcoming you, but the entire Yanhai City feels the same.
Xia Kunyun was handsome. Even though he was middle-aged, he still held considerable charm for women, possessing a unique charisma.
"After all these years, you still remember the past. Back then, A'Tu chose me not because I was more handsome, richer, or more ambitious than you, but because I understood her heart better. She needed someone who understood her, not a clueless straight man."
"When she had her period, you only told her to drink plain water, while I would bring her red date soup. When she said she was cold, you'd say, 'Cold? I think the weather is fine,' while I would take off my clothes and give them to her."
"Her choice was her freedom; no one could force her."
Xia Kunyun sat down uninvited, eloquently recounting the past.
One-Eyed Man had avoided him for decades, not out of fear, but because as a man, encountering such a situation was an utter humiliation.
Since then,
One-Eyed Man had remained single.
His heart was scarred.
The hatred of having his girlfriend stolen was unforgivable.
One-Eyed Man raged, "Can you stop bringing this up? If you say it again, I'll really lose my temper. It's truly outrageous, utterly outrageous!"
One-Eyed Man, who was never usually overcome by anger,
was now driven to the brink by Xia Kunyun's few words.
Facing such an enraged One-Eyed Man,
Xia Kunyun remained unfazed, a smile on his face. "Alright, alright, I won't mention it again. You might have been following our lives over the years. We're very happy now, with a son and a daughter. Our eldest son has become a student at the Buddhist Advanced Academy, saying he wants to follow in his old father's footsteps. I think it's not bad. His mother and I were both students there, so it's carrying on the family tradition."
"Our little daughter is also excellent. After my training these past years, becoming a student at the Medical Advanced Academy won't be difficult for her."
One-Eyed Man's jaw trembled; the pen in his hand snapped from the force of his grip.
Calm down.
Must stay calm.
The other party was just showing off in front of him.
He, One-Eyed Man, was the leader of the Yanhai City Special Department, a powerful figure controlling the city's authority.
But an image flashed in his mind.
What's the use of winning the world if you lose her in the end?
Do I not understand women?
Bullshit.
Drinking hot water is indeed helpful for stomach aches.
A little cold? The weather is perfectly fine. Why be so delicate as a powerful cultivator from the Buddhist Advanced Academy?
One-Eyed Man took a deep breath, steadying himself. "Stop with the nonsense. What are you doing in Yanhai City? If you're here for vacation, you're not welcome. If it's work-related, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Speaking the harshest words while recalling the most painful memories.
Just a little bit of imagining…
If those things hadn't happened back then…
Perhaps he would also have children now.
It's all because of that bastard Xia Kunyun.
Stealing his girlfriend, letting his first love bear his children. Not fighting him to the death was already merciful enough.
Xia Kunyun said helplessly, "There's no need to hold such a grudge against me."
One-Eyed Man remained silent.
His gaze spoke volumes.
What do you think?
"Let's get straight to the point. I'm here on behalf of the headquarters. We hope the Yanhai City Department can lend us Lin Fan for a period. This concerns the survival of humanity."
"This is a serious matter, not a joke."
Xia Kunyun spoke seriously.
One-Eyed Man was about to retort, 'You're dreaming,' but seeing his expression, he knew the matter must be serious, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
"Interesting. What could be so important that the headquarters needs to seek help?"
"With the headquarters' resources, it shouldn't be necessary, right?"
For One-Eyed Man, the headquarters was full of experts. With his strength, he could indeed rank among them, but to say he was the best in the world would be bragging.
At the headquarters, a rough estimate placed him in the top twenty.
Xia Kunyun said gravely, "You know the Sword Dao God, Baiyun Sword God, right?"
"Elder Baiyun…"
One-Eyed Man's face showed surprise. He naturally knew the Sword Dao God, Baiyun Sword God. In terms of age, he was thirty to forty years older than them. Before they were even born, Elder Baiyun's reputation was already well-established. After joining the Buddhist Advanced Academy, he truly understood how powerful Elder Baiyun was.
His achievements were remarkable, practically invincible.
"What happened to the Elder?"
One-Eyed Man had met Elder Baiyun several times and had in-depth conversations. He had provided him with great help on his cultivation path.
Xia Kunyun's expression was solemn:
"Some time ago, a mysterious evil being infiltrated Xia Capital, attracting Elder Baiyun's attention. He chased it out of Xia Capital's territory. Later, Elder Baiyun sent a message back, saying there was danger and telling us not to follow, and then there was no further news. So the headquarters has already assembled several City Guardian level experts."
"But you know that City Guardian level experts are pillars in any city, holding important positions. If too many disappear at once, it would be unimaginable for Xia Capital."
"Therefore, we want to invite Lin Fan to accompany the City Guardian level experts to investigate the place where Elder Baiyun disappeared, hoping to find him."
This matter had also been specifically investigated by Xia Capital.
Although this expert's mind seemed a bit unstable, based on several incidents, Xia Capital had confirmed that Lin Fan's strength was truly at the Heavenly King level.
Currently, it was difficult to mobilize a Heavenly King level expert at will.
They all had their own responsibilities.
They also needed to guard many places.
They couldn't just leave casually, so they had to find a way to redeploy personnel.
One-Eyed Man pondered.
This is tricky.
He felt the situation was complicated.
The key issue was Lin Fan's unstable condition. After all, he came from the Qingshan Mental Hospital. Even staying in Yanhai City might be difficult to manage, and once he went to Xia Capital, the situation would be even more complex.
A headache.
