Chapter 109: The Organization Reappears, the Third Realm of the Gold Element!
"Oh?"
Griffin’s eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me the results."
"Yes!"
The reporting started on the other end of the phone: "Lin Beichen, freshman at Imperial Capital University, majoring in Physics..."
The investigation was indeed thorough, so thorough that if Lin Beichen were a celebrity, this investigation could have been his biography.
Every detail of Lin Beichen’s life from childhood to present was investigated, including how many red flowers he earned in kindergarten, what honors he received in school, and what good deeds he did, as well as information on his parents and direct relatives.
The report concluded.
The voice on the other end summed up: "Based on the investigation, Lin Beichen is just a top student at a prestigious university. However, what’s strange is that his academic record was poor until a sudden breakthrough just a month before the college entrance exam, where he set historic records for the Great Xia exams. Other than that, there’s nothing particularly remarkable about him."
Many details about Lin Beichen were hidden by the security agency.
Had the investigation on Lin Beichen started earlier, much more could have been discovered.
But at this point...
The available information was only what the security agency deemed suitable for public display.
Is that all?
Griffin was not really interested in how Lin Beichen suddenly improved his academics; that had nothing to do with the matter he wanted to investigate.
"Is there no information in the investigation about Lin Beichen learning Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts? And... no evidence confirming Lin Beichen pushed a bullet out of his body?"
"Report to the group leader, none of it. There’s no information indicating Lin Beichen went anywhere to learn Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts, nor is there any video proving Lin Beichen pushed a bullet out of his body."
"?"
Griffin furrowed his brows, was this investigation in vain?
Not determining how Lin Beichen pushed a bullet out of his body was understandable, considering the low probability of such an event.
But...
Lin Beichen himself mentioned "Traditional Martial Arts," and yet there’s no information about him learning Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts at all?
Did he become proficient in Great Xia Traditional Martial Arts through self-study?
Or some other possibility?
But...
What kind of possibility could there be?
He hung up the phone and unconsciously reviewed all the information about Lin Beichen in his mind.
At that moment.
Suddenly!
The phone rang again.
"Ring... Ring..."
Griffin picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"
"It’s me."
A low and hoarse voice came from the other end.
Upon hearing this voice.
Griffin’s expression changed abruptly, becoming extremely serious.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sexton, how can you contact us proactively? If the outside world discovers this, do you know where this will place Atlantis?!"
"I can no longer wait for you to contact me first."
Sexton’s voice was calm as a still pond, seemingly unaffected by anyone else: "I’m facing big trouble and need your help."
Griffin’s brows furrowed; he knew the other’s capabilities, if he termed it big trouble, it couldn’t wait for his intervention.
If he termed it big trouble...
Griffin asked solemnly, "What happened?"
"I’ve been targeted by Great Xia’s security agency, and my peripheral members are being eliminated one by one. If this continues, even the organization’s headquarters might be exposed!"
The organization Sexton spoke of was none other than the one backed by the "Boss."
Sexton was actually the real boss of this organization.
This organization and Atlantis were not in a dependency relationship but rather a cooperative one, with Atlantis providing certain help, including funding and other resources.
Meanwhile, the organization would share its research results with Atlantis for development and exploitation.
The main research content...
was human potential!
"What??"
Griffin spat out, "How did Great Xia’s security agency start targeting you?!"
"This matter started over a month ago. One of my subordinates responsible for operations in Great Xia was disrupted while abducting children..."
Sexton had just begun.
Griffin’s mind suddenly recalled information he heard in the report earlier—a detail about Lin Beichen.
Over a month ago, Lin Beichen assisted the police in solving a child abduction case and was publicly recognized by his school.
What a coincidence?
Both incidents happened over a month ago?
Both involved child abduction?
Patiently listening to Sexton finish, he then asked, "Do you know the name of the Great Xia individual who disrupted the child abduction operation?"
"Lin Beichen."
Sexton immediately and confidently gave the answer.
Upon hearing the name.
Griffin’s eyes instantly gleamed.
It was him indeed!
Before he could think further.
Sexton’s voice followed again: "I remember this name well because my subordinate responsible for Great Xia operations reported to me that Lin Beichen seemed fascinated by cultivating Thunder Skill. They thought it might be worth experimentally probing him, but for some unknown reason, the action was discontinued. After that incident, the security agency started targeting us."
Fascinated by cultivation?
Thunder Skill?
Griffin subconsciously pondered if this might be the other possibility he was just considering?
