Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The village chief sighed. He didn’t know what to say to make the villagers believe at this point.

Villager D clenched the firearm in his hand, aiming at the object, and said, “Chief, could this thing be given by the Beastmaster Association, and then they’re saying it’s from Su Bai?”

The village chief tried to stop Villager D repeatedly, “Put your gun down, quick! This drone was indeed made by Su Bai. I confirmed it with him!”

Seeing the nervousness of the village chief, Villager D finally lowered the firearm.

But other villagers remained tense.

“Is it really Su Bai who wants to protect us?”

“It has nothing to do with that Beastmaster Association?”

The village chief cleared his throat and said, “The Beastmaster Association is helping us financially. As for the personnel involved, it really is Su Bai.”

Villager B was somewhat flustered. He said, “So that’s how it is. Could it be that Su Bai doesn’t know the truth and got deceived by the Beastmaster

Association?”

Villager A, who was initially pleased that Su Bai wanted to protect them, couldn’t smile anymore.

This was related to the Beastmaster Association and the villagers couldn’t take it lightly.

“Maybe you should talk to Su Bai again, Chief. Tell him about our relationship with the Beastmaster Association?”

Villager L sighed, “Even if we explain, Su Bai wouldn’t want to offend the

Beastmaster Association for us, right? This is something the Beastmaster Association instructed him to do. Even if he knows the truth, would he still be willing to compensate us for breach of contract?”

Although they didn’t know the exact amount of money involved between Su Bai and the Beastmaster Association, from their expressions, it seemed they didn’t know what to do.

On one hand, they trusted Su Bai; on the other hand, it was evident that the Beastmaster Association hadn’t acted out of good intentions.

Even the village chief was wavering at this moment. He felt that Su Bai wasn’t someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

But after being reminded by the villagers, the village chief was genuinely concerned that Su Bai might be manipulated by the Beastmaster Association.

And even if Su Bai found out that he had been manipulated, he would still have to pay a penalty for breaking the contract.

If it were in the past, they indeed could help Su Bai with the penalty. But now, they were afraid they didn’t even have the right to compensate Su Bai with their lives, let alone their money. They could not bear to let Su Bai turn against the Beastmaster Association.

Looking at the expression on the village chief’s face, everyone understood what he was thinking. The others wanted to say something more, but the village chief gestured for them to stop. The village chief said, “It’s fine. Just let everyone know that the thing above us is made by Su Bai.”

At least Su Bai wouldn’t harm them for now.

“I’ll investigate the matter further. And make sure they don’t take down that thing above our heads!” said the village chief.

A few people hurriedly replied, “Alright.”

“Chief, please go figure out the cooperation between Su Bai and the Beastmaster Association.”

“As long as we say this small drone above us is made by Su Bai, the villagers won’t dislike it.”

Due to Su Bai’s assistance to Mount Tragic, all the dangerous beasts on the mountain were eliminated. This made all the villagers, around four to five hundred of them, very fond of Su Bai.

Even those who didn’t know Su Bail s name had come to know that he was the one who saved the entire village the last time.

Meanwhile, Su Bai had just returned to his base. He found an email in his inbox. It was sent by someone from the Investigation Bureau.

Su Bai checked the time. He didn’t expect the Investigation Bureau to act so swiftly. They resolved the issue within just three hours.

The Investigation Bureau’s message was, [Respected Mr. Su Bai, we deeply apologize for the impact caused by this incident. However, this matter indeed has nothing to do with the military. We have already clarified the situation on the official military website. Furthermore, we have also sent the clarification message to the headlines of the bounty website for three days. This incident was not a result of malicious suppression from our military, and Mr. Su Bail s account has not been banned by our military. Any forces attempting to suppress Mr. Su Bai have no relation to our military. Please refrain from elevating individual actions to the level of our military organization. Thank you for your cooperation.]

Su Bai logged into the official military webpage and found similar wording. In essence, it revealed that there was a group operating under official branding to suppress ordinary people.

These organizations could mimic official accounts and some even possessed top-tier hacking techniques, allowing them to hack into official accounts and spread malicious information.

After the clarification post was released, Paris sent his congratulations to Su Bai. At the same time, he sent Su Bai a deposit of 200,000 bounty coins.

Seeing that sum of money, Su Bai was ecstatic and thought, ‘Paris was truly a man of his word. I didn’t expect this matter to gain so much attention.’

Meanwhile, in Paris’s mansion, when they received internal military news,

Paris was somewhat surprised. “Did the Investigation Bureau work so quickly?”

The other party sighed helplessly, making Paris unable to gauge their expression. If he saw it, he’d probably tease them again.

“Of course they have to be swift. After all, this matter involves Su Bai. At first, they didn’t know that it was Su Bai who was targeted. Now that they know, Han

Zhengzhi can’t even become the president of the Beastmaster Association.”

Paris clicked his tongue and said, “Who would’ve thought that Su Bai actually knows people at the higher-up!”

As they discussed, the other person seemed even more regretful.

“Ah, Su Bai doesn’t know us. It’s us who have been following him. The higher-ups have been wanting to find an opportunity to recruit Su Bai.”

Paris couldn’t help but find this amusing. He suddenly recalled the first time he

saw Su Bail s appearance on the surveillance. Su Bai’s refusal to his father was anything but polite.

“I think you guys have quite the challenge ahead of you.”

Hearing that, the other person felt overwhelmed and said, “Who would say otherwise? I’ve heard that even the people from Heavencraft City wanted to keep Su Bai there, but Su Bai just left as he pleased. To get him to come over here directly, I’m afraid we need to think long and hard.”

Paris found that even more interesting and said, “I thought you guys would take a strong approach, like saying, ‘If you don’t come to us, we’ll really ban you!”‘

“Of course not. We are truly democratic. Can we force a boy if he disagrees?”

After some small talk, Paris hung up the phone. Then he instructed, “Send the money to Su Bai directly.”

Paris’s subordinate was somewhat puzzled and asked, “Shouldn’t we let him know first?”

Apart from the Paris family, the families and enterprises that Su Bai had previously contacted began to reach out to him again. They even regretted rejecting Su Bai. Not for anything else, but primarily because they saw that Su Bai was truly exceptional. To have both the Investigation Bureau and the official military issue clarification posts simultaneously..
