Chapter 743: Persuading! (2/2)
Listening to Bai Xiaofei while reading the intel, everyone gulped. They thought they already regarded Bai Xiaofei highly, but he proved them wrong every time with practical action!
“Blood Diamond is not an ore. There is no such mineral ore on the continent nor any news of such discoveries, so it can only be artificial. Then, such a large supply would suggest a huge production system, and that system must be close to the source of ‘raw materials.’”
Along with Bai Xiaofei’s explanation, the projection changed again and again until it finally locked onto a deserted place.
Windless Zone!
“Windless Zone, one of the six forbidden areas in the continent, is desolate and hidden enough to provide a wide enough activity space. On top of that, it’s near the largest slave-trading market on the northern border. If the raw materials for Blood Diamonds are really humans, then this area is the best choice!” Bai Xiaofei looked at Lei Shan. “It will be my first stop.”
The room fell silent and all eyes fell on Lei Shan, waiting for a word from him.
“You call this a complete plan? You only know where the people… no, it’s still just a conjecture even. Moreover, the Windless Zone is extremely dangerous. You really think you alone are that capable?” Lei Shan fired off, obviously trying to make it difficult for Bai Xiaofei.
“I didn’t say I was going alone.” Ignoring most of the old man’s questions, Bai Xiaofei picked the only one he could immediately answer to steer the subject away.
“What do you mean?” Lei Shan was stunned.
“I take this as a graduation task, and I remember that there is no limit to the number of participants in a graduation task above rank S, so I’m bringing some friends with me,” replied Bai Xiaofei.
Hearing this, Lei Shan’s expression relaxed in relief. Although Bai Xiaofei was a trouble-maker, everyone somewhat figured him out after the previous events. As long as he was not alone, he would have scruples, and when he did, considering his ability, the safety rate would soar!
“When are you setting out?” Lei Shan finally said what Bai Xiaofei wanted to hear.
At the same time, Luo Xi beamed in delight. So I made the right suggestion after all!
“I’m gathering people now. We’ll leave tonight,” Bai Xiaofei speedily replied. Everything was already in place, all that he had lacked was only a nod from Lei Shan.
“Alright, you can mobilize the academy’s resources at will, but you must ensure to report your safety to me every once in a while!” Lei Shan voiced his final demand.
Bai Xiaofei naturally would not object. Report? No problem, but the validity? Who knows?
After reassuring Lei Shan, Bai Xiaofei ran out with a grin. “I won’t bother you further, enjoy the food! I promise to come back as soon as possible, see you then!”
