Apart from contacting the Paris family, Su Bai also reached out to other families. The responses from other families were quite similar.

Their messages mentioned that they didn’t dare to make decisions without authorization from higher-ups.

If it were some small workshop, Su Bai might have given up. But he was different. He knew the regulations within the military very well and he knew that this was just Han Zhengzhi using his power to bully others.

After all, a real military wouldn’t outright suppress someone without any mistakes.

As per Su Bai’s knowledge, the military needed talent at the moment. He sent the intercepted conversations, his thoughts, and suggestions to the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau.

The so-called Investigation Bureau dealt with all kinds of matters, whether they were related to Beastmasters or Alchemists.

Normally, a matter like Su Bai’s wouldn’t be within the purview of the Investigation Bureau. But Su Bai was betting. He was betting on his current innocence and that the military’s actions were malicious. That was important for the reputation of the military.

Anything involving the military, the Investigation Bureau typically turned a blind eye to it. If it was indeed a case of malicious suppression by the military, it might take some time to investigate. They also needed to check whether Su Bai was truly innocent.

But besides the bet, Su Bai was also confident enough to attach his performance record from his training with the military from a long time ago, back in the academy. Those records, along with Han Zhengzhi’s personal problems, would clearly show that the Beastmaster Association didn’t actually recruit Qiong Qi into their association. Moreover, Qiong Qi was protected and monitored, not to harm others.

In this scenario, whoever took away or subdued Qiong Qi would be helping the military.

After submitting all this evidence, Su Bai decided to go supervise Lu Le and the others’ training progress. As for Yan Yi and Yan Xuan, they were already hitting the bullseye accurately.

“What level have you guys reached now?” Su Bai asked as he looked at Lu Le.

Lu Le turned his head a bit guiltily. He really wasn’t sure how to say it, “Boss, it’s only been two days since the last power upgrade. What can I achieve in these two days?”

Su Bai clicked his tongue and said, “Even Qiong Qi could have advanced several levels in these two days.”

That remark left Lu Le dumbfounded. He originally wanted to say who could compare to Su Bai, but then he refrained, “Boss, have things been resolved?”

Su Bai thought for a moment, ‘Things hadn’t been completely resolved, they were close to it.’

As Su Bai began explaining, the doorbell rang outside. He was curious about who would come at this time. He was sure it was not the military or the Investigation Bureau that arrived so quickly. It had only been five minutes since he just contacted them.

Su Bai checked on the surveillance, and a slim young girl appeared on the screen. Her makeup was delicate, and her black hair was exceptionally smooth.

Lu Le couldn’t help but be entranced.

This was the first time Su Bai had seen this young girl. From her expression, it was clear she wasn’t here for orders.

Murong Xue’s mood soured as she looked at the two of them. She said,

“Whenever you guys see a beautiful girl, do you suddenly forget how to speak?”

After saying that, Murong Xue turned to look at Su Bai. After all, while Lu Le might be someone who couldn’t function around beautiful girls, Su Bai was different. When she saw the investigative look in Su Bai’s eyes, she felt relieved.

Addressing the monitor, Murong Xue asked, “May I help you?”

Su Yun’er wasn’t alone. There were a few other Beastmasters with her.

Su Bai’s gaze shifted to the emblem on their sleeves. He had seen this emblem before. It was the same as the emblem on Han Zhengzhi’s uniform a symbol of the Beastmaster Association.

Su Bai’s expression turned cold and thought, ‘Is this a retaliation?’

Su Yun’er smiled and said, “I’m here for a discussion. Can we talk inside? It’s about the dignity of the Beastmaster Association.”

Su Yun’er didn’t want to talk about it here. But she was betting that even if she didn’t explain the context, Su Bai would still open the door.

However, Su Bai seemed to have exceeded Su Yun’er’s expectations. He said, “You guys from the Beastmaster Association just came to snatch beasts, and you’re talking about dignity?”

Su Yun’er was momentarily at a loss for words. Thankfully, Su Yun’er was someone who had seen a lot. She replied, “Of course, we have our dignity.

Otherwise, unscrupulous people will destroy the reputation of the Beastmaster Association. Because they kept misleading you, isn’t that a loss of face and dignity?”

Su Yun’er’s words were polite, but Su Bai had already understood that this woman clearly wasn’t in cahoots with Han Zhengzhi. They both belonged to the same organization, but whether it was a feud or a misunderstanding, Su Bai couldn’t be sure.

Su Bai glanced at Murong Xue, and she opened the door gracefully.

Once Su Yun’er came in, she gestured to the people behind her to hand what they were carrying to Su Bai. She said, “This is a gesture of apology. Although

Han Zhengzhi caused the trouble, he has many members from the Beastmaster Association by his side. We don’t want our association to be misunderstood.

I’ve already reported this incident. He’ll probably be suspended soon for an investigation.”

Su Bai nodded. Without hesitation, he accepted these apology gifts. After all, they were meant as apologies. He raised an eyebrow at Su Yun’er.

The items were quite generous. After all, it was the Beastmaster Association, so they had an abundant supply of things. There were two Saint Crystals, ten Beast-cores, fifty Crystals, and some special alchemy materials.

Su Bai looked at Su Yun’er, and it seemed she was genuinely apologizing. These gifts genuinely touched Su Bai’s heart. They were Beastmaster materials, as well as Alchemist materials. They had everything and covered every aspect.

“I’ll accept your apology,” Su Bai said.

Su Yun’er smiled and nodded, “Since you’ve accepted our apology, I’ll get straight to the point. Han Zhengzhi didn’t want to get involved in the matter of the Tragic Village residents. I’m not sure what’s the reason. This time, he’ll probably lay low for a while. We’ve discussed this with the people from Tragic Village. The weapons you’re making for them, we’ll foot the bill. As for the specifications of the weapons, let’s go with this: 5 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicles, 2 Airdrop Tanks, and 100 Machine Guns and Rifles each.”

Su Bai swallowed hard and thought, ‘This was a massive order! I had been negotiating with the people from Tragic Village. If they didn’t have money, they could even modify the weapons. But after their last message, they hadn’t replied. I thought they were thinking about the price, so I let them think it over. I never expected them to contact the Beastmaster Association.. But shouldn’t this matter be related to the military?’
