Chapter 572 - A Cold Body (1/2)

It was a terrible price to pay.

“Qin Feng!!” Hatred flashed past his eyes, but it could not diminish the fear in it.

***

Qin Feng learned that Hong Lie was still alive a few days after he returned to Fengli.

It was not that he did not think of going out there and finis.h.i.+ng the job. However, there was much more to consider now that he was in a different position.

Hong Lie, being a B-tier apt.i.tude user, had a substantial influence as an organization president in the northern region. If he were killed, it would implicate those working under him greatly.

Qin Feng did not wish to be too a.s.sertive. This would not be good for teamwork.

Well… The word teamwork put a sarcastic smile on Qin Feng’s face.

Besides, Hong Lie would at least take half a year to recover from the injury he had sustained this time. He would not dare to provoke Qin Feng in such a state.

Thus, Hong Lie was not Qin Feng’s immediate concern now. He had his mind occupied on another matter.

“Are you sure you got nothing?”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t believe you. But it’s just all too odd!”

“Alright, please continue to keep your eyes open.”

“Goodbye.”

Qin Feng furrowed his brows after hanging up. The phone call he had made was to ask help from Dragon Capital to search for the Z Organization. He did not expect them to turn up empty handed.

A few thoughts sprung into Qin Feng’s mind rapidly.

He had not heard of such an organization before he was reborn but mutant experiments carried out by the Dark Coalition had been running rampant recently. Qin Feng clearly remembered the special tattoo on its member, as well as the lab at Fu City and the catastrophe at Shadong.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

‘Perhaps I have been overestimating them? Though it’s easy for Dragon Capital to investigate the underground organization, their sights are usually set on those B-tiers or above! The Z Organization might not have grown into that just yet. They could be a dangerous force in the future, but right now, they are probably just a small faction waiting for the right time to strike.’

Qin Feng could not shake the Z Organization off his mind ever since he had been reborn. He trusted his own instincts and knew that he must find them.

He contemplated and decided to ask for He Liming’s help. This time, he wanted them to narrow down the search and focus solely on the north.

In less than half a day, He Liming brought him the news Qin Feng wanted. He Liming had been extremely helpful after the incident with Hong Lie.

“Governor Qin, I have a few intel regarding the underground organization that may be useful to you.” He Liming sent him several doc.u.ments not long after.

Qin Feng opened it and smiled satisfyingly.

“So, they are hiding in Xue Yuan all this while?”

“I believe so. Numerous organizations from the Dark Coalition have been active around the area recently. Fights broke off spa.r.s.ely but did not alert the Human Alliance since that place is a lawless zone, to begin with. But they have indeed grown more arrogant recently by openly practicing unethical experimental trials on human subjects.” He Liming explained to Qin Feng while displaying a friendly smile. “Are these people and information the ones you are looking for?”

“It’s more than I have asked for. Thanks a lot, General He. This is extremely important, to me at least.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Are you still overseeing the rebuild of Beihua? I have a small business going on there. I will ask someone to send you a small gift.”
