Chapter 471 - LONG TIME NO SEE (1/2)

The Chairman's head rolled to the side as if he was going to fall asleep or lose consciousness. Hu Lei took out a strange needle-like pin from the neat bun on her head. Without hesitation, she poked a few points on the man to awaken him from his stupor.

Hu Lei knew acupuncture fairly well, but her skills were not focused on medical help. Her primary focus had always been dark skills. Therefore, when she poked the Chairman, she targeted the points that would bring him maximum pain.

The old man screamed out. His voice was a little muted because of the grogginess brought about by the drugs in his system, so he could not express the full extent of his pain.

”Where is he?” Hu Lei asked.

”I don't know. I don't know. He just appeared from nowhere.” The Chairman got himself under control. ”No, I should not say anything about that man. You do not want to mess with that man. Do you think you are tough? Ha, wait until you meet him.” He shouted.

”I will take your warning under consideration.” Hu Lei said before taking out her little spray bottle again.

A puff landed on the Chairman's face, and once again, his mind became groggy and his tongue loosened. In the depths of his heart, he wanted to keep his secrets, but he knew it was hopeless.

”What do you know of Martial Island?” Hu Lei asked.

The Chairman became tense and bit his lips. He did not want to speak about this matter. He had only found out about Martial Island by accident. More accurately, he had eavesdropped on some of the mysterious man's subordinates.

”Tell me what you know of Martial Island.” Hu Lei repeated with a hard voice and another light puff of her concoction.

The Chairman finally spoke. ”It is the mecca for people who are interested in improving their bodies. In that place, they favour combat strength. They hold a lot of championships to determine who is the strongest.”

Hu Lei and Zhong Feng looked at one another. It was in line with the message Kaito sent to them. But they did not want information that they already knew. They wanted to learn secrets that could help them find Kaito.

”What else?” Hu Lei asked.

The Chairman hesitated before answering. ”I heard rumours that people in that place have a longer lifespan. Old age comes slowly, and they are not vulnerable to normal diseases. But they are just rumours. How could there be something so good?”

Once again the couple looked at each other. They knew that the words were truthful because of the drugs, but like the Chairman, they wondered about the validity of the information. If there was a possibility of a longer life, would the world not go crazy for it?

Hu Lei turned back and sprayed another puff of the drug on the Chairman. His mind became even more troubled as he struggled to maintain a grasp of the psychedelic images flowing through his mind. Hu Lei's voice became distant, but he also found that the sound was like an anchor.

”How do we get in touch with the man behind the International Health Alliance? Respond clearly. A grown man cannot withstand five doses without losing his mind.” Hu Lei's voice was calm, but it pulled in the inebriated man.

The Chairman answered, his mind holding on to that voice. ”I used to have a number to contact him. But it is not useful anymore. He already abandoned us. We could not help him resolve his problem, so he saw no need to keep us around.”

Hu Lei became tense. ”What did he want to know? What was his problem?”
