Chapter 1072 - 423: Coincidence_2
But Zhang Beixing had a hard time associating that timid, frail figure, exuding a submissive aura, with the monster full of violent rage,
Moreover, Zhang Beixing prided himself on his perception never having any issues—the aura of that frail figure was completely different from the deep crimson violent aura of the twisted monster.
A person’s aura mostly stems from their heart; even if their appearance changes, the inner essence is hard to conceal. How could this possibly be the same person?
But if it’s just coincidence? Can so many coincidences connect together like this?
If it’s not a coincidence, then how did the BE organization make such a person undergo such a drastic transformation?
"Hey, Minister Zhang, what’s wrong?"
Noticing Zhang Beixing standing motionless after listening to him, with furrowed brows seemingly lost in thought, Richard broke Zhang Beixing’s trance.
Richard’s call instantly drew Zhang Beixing out of his state of contemplation. He blinked twice and slowly began to speak.
"It’s nothing, I was just thinking of something else.
You mentioned this pharmaceutical company is under the BE organization, right?"
"Yes."
Richard nodded, hadn’t he just said that? Why was Minister Zhang asking again? This wasn’t typical of him, especially with the thoughtful look on Zhang Beixing’s face. Clearly, he was thinking of something.
"Well, make sure to closely monitor this pharmaceutical company. Report to me immediately if there’s any development."
Zhang Beixing just instructed Richard regarding the pharmaceutical company matter but didn’t elaborate on his recent speculation.
Because such conjecture defied logic, even he found it hard to grasp. Plus, there was no evidence for the speculation, so saying it out loud served no purpose.
However, Zhang Beixing already had an idea in mind to test this bold hypothesis, but it required waiting for an opportune time, specifically when the monster appeared again tonight.
Zhang Beixing and Richard each returned to their rooms, which were spacious and comfortably decorated with a sense of style, save for one thing.
It seemed that either European major families disliked watching television, or there was no signal on the mountain. Since entering this manor, Zhang Beixing hadn’t seen a TV.
Moreover, the place was on foreign networks, and there were no short videos to browse. Even calling Lin Siqi on a video call was inconvenient for Zhang Beixing.
While waiting for the monster’s arrival, Zhang Beixing could only sit cross-legged on the bed, simultaneously expanding his perception to envelop the hill where Alba Manor stood.
At this moment, Zhang Beixing sensed that few rooms in the manor were empty. Both the servants and members of the Alba Clan obediently stayed in their rooms as night descended.
Zhang Beixing focused his perception specifically on Peter’s room which was empty, whereas his aura remained at the chapel building from yesterday.
While meditating, Zhang Beixing’s body remained motionless, except he nodded slightly inwardly.
Peter still being at that chapel is best, saving the trouble of making too much noise later.
As night deepened, it’s hard to judge the calendar in foreign lands, only today’s moon hung high in the sky as a thin crescent, swiftly obliterated by sporadic drifting black clouds.
Suddenly, Zhang Beixing opened his eyes wide—it’s here!
At this moment, Zhang Beixing’s perception extended far, revealing a familiar ferocious aura appearing a few kilometers away in the woods, its deep crimson color particularly striking.
Today Zhang Beixing wouldn’t casually probe as he did yesterday.
The moment his eyes opened, his figure vanished from the room, leaving an open window swinging perpetually.
Zhang Beixing’s tall figure rushed directly toward the position of that ferocious aura.
Todays ferocious aura, perhaps due to yesterday’s beating from Zhang Beixing, didn’t linger in the forest today, but headed straight for the manor palace.
But with Zhang Beixing around, how could he let the monster rampage? Before it reached the manor’s vicinity, Zhang Beixing blocked the twisted figure horizontally.
The monster’s appearance remained as eerie as yesterday, scurrying rapidly on the ground with twisted limbs.
Zhang Beixing had a clear goal today, his actions swift and precise—he struck fiercely with full force, a palm from afar.
Before the twisted monster could even snarl at Zhang Beixing, it was sent flying, its figure yet to fall to the ground before Zhang Beixing approached in mid-air.
A large hand closed tightly around the monster’s neck.
Upon landing again, Zhang had already hoisted the monster up; typically speaking, considering the extent of its contortion, it would fiercely resist, and its head, capable of rotating, might bite Zhang Beixing’s hand.
Yet Zhang Beixing’s aura could completely suppress the monster, and upon grasping it, its twisted limbs became dominated by Zhang Beixing’s overpowering aura, unable to move.
Held captive like this, unable to move, the monster’s crimson eyes surged with intensity, its throat issuing constant growls as if vowing to tear Zhang Beixing apart.
"Strange little creature,"
Unfazed, Zhang Beixing even teased with a remark; observing this monster closely, it appeared uglier than from afar. If not for Zhang’s strong mental fortitude, he might have let go.
"Bear with it, bear with it, you think I enjoy holding onto you?
I’m taking you to meet someone."
Saying this, Zhang Beixing single-handedly grasped the monster’s form, disappearing into the woods.
Upon landing stably again, Zhang Beixing now stood at the chapel’s entrance within Alba Manor.
For some reason, upon seeing the Cross hanging above the chapel, the monster’s scarlet eyes seemed increasingly restless, unclear whether it was agitation or fear.
The chapel building remained as yesterday, unlit, with only dim candlelight visible through the windows.
Zhang Beixing directly pushed the door with one hand, carrying the scarlet-eyed twisted monster as he strode into the chapel.
Upon entry, Zhang Beixing glimpsed the lighting switch on the wall out of the corner of his eye and pressed it.
The entire building lit up brightly in an instant.
With the lights illuminating, the devout figure kneeling beneath the large central Cross in the chapel paused noticeably.
Despite a limp leg, swiftly he rose, face contorted with anger as he looked toward Zhang Beixing.
"Who gave you—"
Before he could voice his question, Peter saw the monster hoisted by Zhang Beixing.
"What... what is that?"
Peter’s face, distorted with rage, instantly shifted to one of terror, he could barely speak coherently.
Zhang Beixing paid no attention to Peter, instead focused solely on observing the monster’s reaction.
Just as Zhang Beixing suspected, upon seeing Peter, the scarlet eyes that previously fixated on him instantly locked onto Peter.
The red glow intensified somewhat, its immobilized limbs quivered endlessly, appearing intent on breaking free from Zhang Beixing’s restraint, its throat emitting constant growls.
Despite being firmly subdued by Zhang Beixing, the monster’s grotesque form still frightened Peter out of his wits, especially noticing the monster gazing intently at him as he huddled behind a chair, his body trembling ceaselessly.
"Take it away! Get it away!"
Though terrified, Peter nonetheless commanded in an ordering tone, wanting Zhang Beixing to remove the monster from his sight.
Hearing Peter’s commanding tone, Zhang Beixing instantly felt a bit playful; after all, it had been long since anyone dared speak to him this way.
One doesn’t hit a smiling face, and the man was practically willing to grovel, Zhang Beixing shouldn’t make things hard for him.
Zhang Beixing carried the monster step by step toward Peter.
"You say take away, and I take away?
I think it kind of likes you, might as well bring it over for you to take a closer look."
Peter never imagined Zhang Beixing would approach him while carrying the monster.
Watching Zhang Beixing draw near, step by step, with no sign of joking, Peter was instantly scared stiff...
