In Bei Du, at the office of the Tri Special Intelligence Bureau under the direct jurisdiction of the Administrative Affairs Office…
Zhen Manting stood before a large ceiling-to-floor window, holding a cup of refreshing tea in her hand, looking outside. Her face was as calm as a dry well.
Dok dok dok…
Knocking sounds rang from the door, followed by a middle-aged man walking in, looking very respectful.
“Bureau Chief, we caught the person who divulged information and have begun interrogating him. But he is obviously a veteran spy. The interrogation has yet to yield any results.”
Zhen Manting turned her head slightly, glancing at him, “What are you interrogating him for? Just hand him over to the Huang family directly, or they might think I’m the one causing trouble.”
The middle-aged man revealed a hint of shock on his face. Although he really wanted to rebuke her, he could only nod after seeing the smile on Zhen Manting’s face, and retreated from the room.
When the office door was closed, the corners of Zhen Manting’s lips suddenly curled up into an inexplicable smile, mumbling to herself, “That kid surnamed Zhang really knows how to cause trouble, to actually offend the Japanese! I wonder which important characters are among those he messed with at that time, that the Japanese would not hesitate to expose a high-ranking mole to kill him. Looks like this grudge isn’t anything trivial… although I really have to thank that kid for helping me unearth that mole through this matter. Hehehehe…”
—————-
In the military zone at Qian Wei City, Huang Juyun stood in a room filled with apparatuses with a serious face. On the large screen in front of him, Zhang Che was shown riding his Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, trying to make his escape from a Four-winged White Tiger.
Huang Juyun’s expression was dark and as sunken as water, his fists clenched tight. His eyes were emitting killing intent.
Suddenly, an adjutant walked in quickly, holding a strange communication device in his hand.
“General, an encrypted call from the Tri Special Intelligence Bureau.”
Hearing the words “Tri Special Intelligence Bureau” made Huang Juyun’s eyelids twitch slightly. He nodded and received the device from the adjutant. He said in a deep voice, “This is Huang Juyun.”
Unexpectedly, the other end of the call was from a respectful male voice, “Hello, General Huang. Our Bureau Chief told me to pass on the message that our Tri Special Intelligence Bureau has discovered a mole. After our preliminary investigation, we found out that he revealed information regarding Mr Zhang Che to a certain Japanese faction. This ambush on Mr Zhang Che was orchestrated by him. At present, we have already apprehended the said mole, and he is being sent to Bei Du’s army as we speak, for you to interrogate personally…”
Huang Juyun listened silently to the entire message. Afterwards, he only replied evenly, “Give my thanks to your Bureau Chief,” and hung up directly. He returned the phone to the adjutant and waved him off.
“Zhen Manting, you’re a little too much this time. If anything happens to Xiaoche, I definitely won’t let the matter drop!”
Huang Juyun was sure that this mole in the Tri Special Intelligence Bureau was exposed long ago. Zhen Manting was probably aware about the operation targeting Zhang Che, but she didn’t stop it in time.
A complicated expression flashed across his eyes. Afterwards, he set his gaze on the screen displaying the surveillance feed of the satellite in real time. Zhang Che flew into the forest below on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. The Four-winged White Tiger also disappeared from the screen.
That area was too far from where Huang Juyun was. He could only watch, unable to provide any help.
“Now, I can only hope that that kid makes it through…,” he sighed and stood up, walking out.
——-
“I’m finally here!” Zhang Che couldn’t help but sigh in relief as the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon plunged into the forest.
As long as they weren’t fighting that Four-winged White Tiger in the air, even if his babies were no match for it, at least they had enough space to move around.
At Zhang Che’s thought, his strong babies were summoned out with a wave of his hand. Five-colored rays shone one after another. A group of varied subdued beasts and pets filled the dense forest.
At almost the same time, the Four-winged White Tiger behind them also descended from the sky without any hesitation. Its massive figure quickly entered Zhang Che’s sight.
His eyelids twitched a little, and he immediately recalled the Mutated Giant Ape and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus.
In the next moment, the Four-winged White Tiger suddenly opened its mouth, letting out a loud roar at him.
Carried by the roar, an invisible mental attack swept through like a wave. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Purple Crystal Tortoise, and his other subdued beasts stopped moving for a moment, but they weren’t affected much. Behind them, Zhang Che was unfazed by the attack, and even revealed a faint smile.

It had to be said that this Four-winged White Tiger was one of the strongest exotic beasts Zhang Che had ever encountered. It was probably only slightly weaker than the two epic-quality exotic beasts he had met.
Not only that, this fellow was an extremely rare space and mental dual attributed exotic beast. Both its defensive or offensive abilities belonged to an extremely peculiar type.
However, it was also due to the combination of those two unusual attributes that the Four-winged White Tiger’s close combat ability wasn’t very strong. In addition, its weakness was its low physical defense.
Of course, just by possessing that powerful mental attack made this Four-winged White Tiger an extremely tough beast to handle.
Earlier, Zhang Che managed to recall the Mutated Giant Ape and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus in time, fearing that those two pets would be unable to withstand the mental attack.
Although those two beasts were classic close combat beasts, they were both pets. They had no resistance or whatsoever against the Four-winged White Tiger’s mental attacks. They might even die straight away from the attacks.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was different, however. That fellow was no ordinary life form anymore. Unless he was up against powerful innate fire elemental attacks, he was basically unkillable as long as his darkfiend aura remained. At the most, he would only be severely injured.
As for the Purple Crystal Tortoise and Scarlet Flame Drake, they were both subdued beasts without complete souls of their own. As such, naturally they had strong resistances against mental type attacks. Although they could be greatly affected, their foundations wouldn’t be easily damaged.
After the roar, the Four-winged White Tiger was a little stunned.
The attack that had worked without fail against all the prey it had hunted in the past had actually failed…
The Four-winged White Tiger was in disbelief, certain that these fellows in front of its eyes must have been strong enough to barely withstand the attack.
Nevermind; this was only the most basic mental attack. It still had its killer move!
It opened its mouth wide once more. This time, however, it didn’t make any sound, but an extremely terrifying mental attack shot forth, enveloping the space in front of it in a hundred and twenty degree cone.
In the blink of an eye, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, Purple Crystal Tortoise, and the Scarlet Flame Drake revealed painful looks on their faces. But that was all.
As for Zhang Che, who was standing behind them, he remained unaffected. A scarlet sword had appeared in his hand.
Roar! The Four-winged White Tiger was thoroughly enraged. Its mental attacks and Spirit Break skill were both ineffective, but that didn’t mean it had no other moves.
It was a seven-star dark gold-quality exotic beast! It might not be as strong as other exotic beasts of similar level and quality physically, but it wasn’t so weak that a bunch of mid-tier beasts could compare to it, either!
At the same time as the tiger’s roar, the Four-winged White Tiger disappeared, directly appearing in front of Zhang Che’s babies. Its claws turned into blurs, attacking the three beasts, but its spirited eyes were dead set on Zhang Che.
Zhang Che let go of the scarlet sword in his hand, suddenly shutting his eyes.
