Chapter 3461 — Matters of Interest

"Center?" This was the second time Wei Zhao had heard the name of the Center. The first time had been at the Song family of the secular world—but who would have thought his own master had fought the Center back then? Wei Zhao was only an outside contractor for the Mystery Investigation Bureau.
Some things Lin Dongfang had not told him, and so Wei Zhao did not know them. Moreover, everything concerning the Center back then was classified in top-secret files, and unless one were someone like the present Qiu Lingshan, an ordinary person would truly have difficulty accessing them.
"Exactly. You should know this place, no? Back then, only one base of the Center was destroyed. The man in charge there, Dr. Benjamin, was merely a puppet! From what I know, their true leader is a man called Dr. Li, and the Center today is run by his girlfriend, Luan Xiaofu—a woman whose current alias is Miss Blue!" Kun Cun said.
"What does that have to do with me?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had no grudge against the Center—there had only been some conflict back at the Song family. He did not understand what Kun Cun meant by suddenly bringing all this up.
"Young Hero Lin, this Center is a scourge! They specialize in making things that harm people. Your master fought them all along—surely you're interested?" Kun Cun was slightly taken aback, having not expected Wei Zhao to wear such an indifferent expression.
"Not interested." Wei Zhao shook his head. "They never provoked me, either. On the contrary, it was I who killed four of their experts, and my friend who robbed them of their goods. All told, they're the ones who came off worse—what does that have to do with me?"
"This..." Kun Cun had meant this as his life-saving trump card, but he had not expected Wei Zhao to be utterly unconcerned, which left him thoroughly dumbfounded. "Young Hero Lin, they are your master's enemies! I've heard your master has fought them all along, including even now..."
"Oh?" Wei Zhao's eyebrows lifted slightly! Even now? He looked at Kun Cun with some suspicion. "Now? You know where my master is now?"
"This..." Kun Cun naturally did not know. "But I've heard that when your master last departed, it seemed to have something to do with the Center..."
"How do you know that?" Wei Zhao asked in return.
Before, Wei Zhao truly had not cared much about any Center or whatnot, but when it came to news of his master, he could not help but care.
"You should know that our Right Miao Sect... oh, I mean the former Right Miao Sect in Miaojiang—back then, we had dealings with the Center, and even now we often have some business with them. Once, I vaguely heard Miss Blue mention your master while on the phone, and that's why I said so," Kun Cun said.
"Very good. You've moved me. From now on, help me investigate more about that Miss Blue and my master, and I can let you live!" Wei Zhao nodded and said mildly. "You know, if I wanted to kill you, it would be the easiest thing in the world! You can go ask Miss Blue—her four experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank, at great-circle perfection, were all slain by me! Your summoning me here this time was a real miscalculation. If you hadn't spoken of something that interests me, your Right Miao Sect could have ceased to exist!"
