Chapter 1594 - You’re Under Arrest (2/2)

“Chief Luo! There are more and more spiritual energy points… The numbers of superhumans and Beastmasters on this Hidden Tiger Mountain are now… over one hundred!” a young and pretty girl said to the middle-aged man. She was wearing a set of headphones and holding a laptop.

The face of the middle-aged man who the girl called Chief Luo grew serious. “Xiao Ai, do you see that man? Can you help me find out the size of his spiritual energy point? I want to know what class he is,” he said, watching with a frown as Bu Fang left.

The girl nodded. After determining Bu Fang’s location, she began to search on the computer. “Eh? Chief… there is no spiritual energy point on that man. He is likely an ordinary man.”

‘An ordinary man? No, he is not an ordinary man…’ Chief Luo thought to himself. “How’s the situation of the nine-tailed fox? Is the Beast-binding Rope working?” he asked.

‘The Beast-binding Rope is a weapon we created based on the immortal artifact in ancient mythology, which has a great suppression effect on the spirit beasts born from the revival of spiritual energy… Although this nine-tailed fox is an S-class spirit beast, the rope has successfully reduced its spiritual energy level to A-class,” said Xiao Ai as her fingers danced over the keyboard.

“Very good. Keep it that way… When the nine-tailed fox’s spiritual energy level is reduced to B-class, we will strike at once and capture it!

“We must act fast. The appearance of the S-class nine-tailed fox has attracted too much attention. The Beastmasters from other cities, even the superhumans from other countries are eyeing it now… I’ve requested reinforcement from the HQ, but we need to solve this problem by ourselves and do it as quickly as possible. We can’t give our enemies any chance!”

Upon hearing his words, the team members hiding in the dark all nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Chief Luo frowned. He saw that the young man who had left had come back once again. ‘Xiao Ai didn’t detect any spiritual energy in this young man… Could he really be an ordinary man? But how could an ordinary man know about the nine-tailed fox? Or is he just a curious Internet user who got the rumors from somewhere?’

“Excuse me… If I may ask, what do you plan to do after capturing the nine-tailed fox?” Bu Fang looked at Chief Luo with an expressionless face.

“It will be brought to our HQ and kept in captivity. A nine-tailed fox is a very dangerous creature… For the safety of the public, this is the only way.” For some reason he did not know, Chief Luo explained his plan to the young man.

“I see.” Bu Fang nodded. Then, he put his hands behind him, turned, and left.

Xiao Ai thought Bu Fang might be mentally ill.

Suddenly, Bu Fang turned around once again and walked up to them…

Chief Luo and Xiao Ai were both speechless.

“Mister, please leave at once. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to put you under arrest!” Xiao Ai cried out in a cold voice, her brows furrowing.

As soon as her voice rang out, a few men in coats slowly approached them from a distance.

“Well… After careful consideration, I feel that the nine-tailed fox is my little fox who has been separated from me, so… I can’t let you take her away. She is used to the food I cooked, and I don’t think she will like the food you prepare for her…” Bu Fang said seriously. Shrimpy, perching on his shoulder, also nodded in agreement.

Chief Luo and Xiao Ai twitched the corners of their mouths, staring at Bu Fang as if they were looking at an idiot.

‘What a liar… The nine-tailed fox is yours? Why don’t you tell us you are a god?!’ Xiao Ai thought.

“Mister, you are making trouble out of nothing, which is beyond our tolerance and seriously hinders our work. We will put you under arrest for now, and we will let you go once our job is done here,” said Chief Luo.

“Xiao Ai, lift your hand.”

“Ah?” That gave the girl pause, but she eventually raised her hand. With a clicking sound, a cold handcuff was clipped on her wrist, which linked to another one that was clipped on Bu Fang’s slim, fair arm.

“You’re a technician, so you don’t have to be involved in the actual capturing operation. Watch over this guy for the time being…” Chief Luo cleared his throat. Then, he turned and walked away, ignoring Xiao Ai’s blazing eyes.

Bu Fang raised his hand and looked at the handcuff, which appeared to be as weak as if it was made of paper. The corner of his mouth twitched.

“You better behave yourself! Let me warn you, I’m a C-class superhuman! So don’t you harbor any ill intention! I’m very strong!” Xiao Ai could not reject the order, so she said that to Bu Fang with a fierce attitude.

…

A few moments later…

“Aye, Shrimpy is so cute! I never knew a mantis shrimp can be so adorable!”

Xiao Ai, sitting to the side with a handcuff on her wrist, was playing happily with Shrimpy. As for Bu Fang, he also sat on the ground, but his face was expressionless, and he did not move at all.

The girl kept talking as she was playing with Shrimpy, but no matter what she said, Bu Fang did not even bat an eye. Suddenly, Bu Fang furrowed his brows and turned to look at the mountaintop.

At this moment, a series of whistling sounds rang out, and countless figures could be seen moving fast through the surrounding woods.

In the distance, Chief Luo rose to his feet abruptly. “At last, they could wait no longer! All team members, follow me up the mountain!” His eyes turned sharp in an instant. Then, with a rumbling sound, his hair burst into flames—he seemed to have turned into a burning man.

The surrounding team members also unleashed their superpowers, then they all began rushing up the mountain after Chief Luo.

“Xiao Ai, stay where you are and keep an eye on the guy!”

Chief Luo’s voice came drifting over from a distance, instantly freezing the girl, who had already opened up her laptop excitedly and was about to stand up and join the team.

“Hey… Do you know a Beastmaster who keeps a little carp?” Bu Fang glanced at Xiao Ai and asked.

“Ah? A Beastmaster who keeps a carp? Let me see…” Xiao Ai paused for a moment, then began to search in her laptop. “Found him… You must be referring to Zhang He, who is a wanted B-class Beastmaster. Why? Do you have any intelligence about him? A B-class Beastmaster is a very terrifying existence…”

“Hmm… So his name is Zhang He. Well… When I was on my way here, I accidentally killed him. Does this count as intelligence?” Bu Fang said, twitching the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Ai was stunned.
