Capítulo 9: Something wrong with that man!
Zhao Xinyi felt her soul tremble from that simple threat. She gave the man one more surprised appraisal before shaking her head, clearing her thoughts, and she got into action.
With her eyes locked on him, she walked towards him, step by step, her entire person reeking of confidence and power.
"I'm here alone for only one thing. Give me access to your computers for the next one hour."
Zhao Xinyi's heart thumped as the man in front of her narrowed his eyes at her.
The effect of the ensnaring seduction skill was usually immediate, making the victim's eyes glazed and unfocused as their minds fell under her influence.
No sign of it working was showing on the man, and Zhao Xinyi's heart thumped with fear. This was her backup plan, and somehow, it didn't seem to be working!
She glared at the almost naked girl on the other floor in the room, wondering if she was the reason why it wasn't working. Even though she had never read that her martial arts had a nemesis like a naked person, Zhao Xinyi knew that using his computers was her best solution, and she didn't want it to go wrong.
At this time, the man had already closed the gap between them, his tall figure towering over the petite seventeen-year-old body that had belonged to Zhao Mei.
"And why do you need access to my computers?"
"Speak! Who sent you?" The man barked out as he stretched his hand, attempting to grab Zhao Xinyi.
Even though her current body didn't have martial arts or any training, she was still able to dodge his well-calculated reach and move to the other side of the room.
Zhao Xinyi grabbed the cloak that was on the floor and draped it over the woman in one less than a minute.
Since her backup plan had failed, she had two options, try again without the naked woman's influence and see if it would work. Or, secondly, come clean about her intentions.
Her mind was occupied with thinking about a solution that she didn't notice that the man's eyes had flashed with interest and suspicion just from watching her.
This time around, he didn't try to grab her. He folded his arms across his chest, giving off a kingly aura as he watched her walk towards him.
She stopped a few feet from him, her restrained aura bursting out like a wave and filling the room. When their eyes met, the man's brows raised at the compulsion that lay in there.
"Give me access to your computer for an hour," Zhao Xinyi ordered. In the past, just by randomly meeting a person's eyes, she could activate the control that she wanted.
However, after it failed to work the first time, she was using the second level of her ensnaring seduction skill on him. For normal people, using the second level could drive them mad, but she suspected that this man's mind was firmer than that of the average person.
She knew it had failed the moment she finished talking, and it was hard to stop her shoulders from slumping in defeat.
As someone that didn't know what it meant to give up, Zhao Xinyi changed her methods.
"As an officer, surely you must know that for the first time in decades, some technology scouts have come to our 1st district to give us a chance." She started, and the man before her nodded solemnly as though telling her to continue.
"Someone has taken a work that belongs to me. Due to my access level, it's impossible for me to bypass the level firewalls and get my work and the evidence back."
The man said nothing still, his dark eyes boring into hers.
She felt there was nothing else left to say, and she wasn't exactly an expert in communication. But she was desperate, and the silence wasn't helping. So she added, "If you can help me this once, I'll owe you a favour."
Wei Zihao scoffed as he heard her little promise. Even though he felt the girl before him was interesting.
It was not enough to get him to give her access to his computer.
Before Xinyi could say anything else, four men dressed in complete black entered the room and grabbed Zhao Xinyi.
Without any word, they pulled her out of the room and outside the gates to the Bureau Of Security.
"Our master went easy on you this time, don't come back again." One of them said, and the four of them disappeared right before her eyes.
Zhao Xinyi's eyes narrowed as she looked at her retreating back.
Martial artists were impossible to find in the 1st and 2nd districts. In this world, anyone with the ability to cultivate and use martial arts automatically had the right to be in the 3rd district.
Strong or not. It was a privilege that came with having the Qi force flowing in their veins. However, it was also impossible for most people to start cultivating after the age of seven. Thus, people could only rely on other things to advance.
However, just now, Zhao Xinyi had seen very clearly that those four men had martial arts skills!
Also, their power didn't seem weak in any way. So how was it possible that they were here in this backend 1st district and calling a young man here their master?
It was hard to understand, and she felt like they were either here for something or there was a sinister plan brewing from the Martial Arts Council.
When she thought of her failure to get access and have the man under her control, Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but feel dispirited. After all, she thought that the heavens had given her something to work with.
Unlike other people, she knew how she could cultivate even now that her meridians and everything were already fully formed. But the air in the 1st District was devoid of any spiritual energy. So to leave this 1st district, she had to find a way that wasn't cultivation!
As she walked through the dark and lonely streets, she saw a small cafe that was still open. Even though she wasn't hungry, an idea struck in her head, and she entered the cafe, ready to carry out the experiment.
The cafe was empty save for a boy that was wiping the counter.
Zhao Xinyi walked towards him and greeted him with a smile. "Can I still order?"
The boy nodded, a little distracted from seeing her dazzling appearance.
"Give me a large cup of coffee and some of your best pastries."
As she ordered, she maintained eye contact with the young man so she didn't miss the moment that her ensnaring seduction skill took place.
Not only was the boy's eyes glazing over, but he was also dazed and staring at her until she was done with the command.
As he turned to get her order, Xinyi sighed in relief. At least, it wasn't that her skill wasn't working.
There was something wrong with that officer!
