Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Alkaid quickly manipulated the device and clicked on a video.

First, there was a self-introduction by Xia Wuyuan.

The real topic followed immediately after.

"With a heavy heart, I must inform everyone that in addition to what we can see in our world, there is a deeper layer of horror lurking in the dark. I use a term to describe them—I call them 'Demons.'

'Demons move in our world, perhaps carrying out certain tasks, or possibly being bred by humans, or even... simply for the thrill of the kill. But their threat to society is so immense that it absolutely cannot be ignored.'

'One year ago, Dayu Country had six hundred thousand missing persons. This year that number has increased tenfold, and the prime culprits behind all this are the Demons.'

'They disguise themselves as humans within human society, set up companies like Yulong International, Longquan Properties, and even operate factories, such as...'

He watched the video of Xia Wuyuan with some confusion.

Why was he doing this?

'Has there been no positive feedback from the Royal Family?' Alkaid asked.

'It seems that way,' replied Yue Xingzhou. 'The Royal Family probably has their own considerations. Maybe the power of the Rebirth Society is too great, exposing them could provoke desperation and cause significant damage, or perhaps the Royal Family has their own plan, slowly consuming and eliminating the Rebirth Society. By exposing the existence of the Rebirth Society in such a way...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

it's the least appreciated and most strenuous method.'

Alkaid listened and fell silent.

He had already learned the truth of the matter from the words of Zhiji Society and naturally knew why the Royal Family had not dealt with this issue.

To deal with it openly...

Would surely exacerbate the conflict, and if not handled well, Dayu Country might directly face retribution from Red Star.

This was a scenario Dayu Country did not want to see.

Rather than that, it was better to strike in the dark. The moment the Rebirth Society was discovered, they would immediately inform Zhiji Society and let this sort of 'civil organization' step in to root them out.

'Now, Xia Wuyuan is in trouble. The best outcome is to be detained indefinitely, kept out of the sunlight. Otherwise...'

Yue Xingzhou paused here.

But Alkaid guessed his meaning.

After pondering for a moment, he said, 'Let's wait and see.'

'That's all we can do now... ah, the relevant departments have already taken action and started deleting posts. Even though Xia Wuyuan was fully prepared and seemingly used software to spread the message to almost every platform in a very short time, such preparations are trivial in front of the state apparatus.'

Yue Xingzhou spoke, his tone laced with regret.

And subliminally, even a bit of worry.

Alkaid didn't say anything more.

He hung up the call and soon turned to Zong Yan at his side, 'Director Zong, how will this matter be handled?'

The sound from when Alkaid clicked on the video was heard by Zong Yan, Fang Lu, Liao Ming, and others; they were now getting a grasp on the situation.

Hearing Alkaid's question, Zong Yan furrowed his brow, 'We should follow procedure. The struggle between our Zhiji Society and the Rebirth Society has not yet come to the fore. The video will be taken down first, followed by some film promotions to guide the public discourse. Meanwhile, throw out a few entertainment news pieces to attract the public's attention. The problem is not too big...'

As he said this, he shook his head, 'I have some recollections of Xia Wuyuan. Initially, we planned to bring him into our ranks, but... he is inflexible in his actions, and his talent is not so outstanding as to warrant special treatment, so we gave up in the end.'

'He lacks a sense of proportion in handling matters.'

In that moment, Fang Lu couldn't help but interject, 'As a prosecutor, he has no sense of the bigger picture. Such behavior that monopolizes public resources and incites panic, must be punished severely.'

'The Chief Grand Prosecutor surely understands the pros and cons here. He probably told him not to cause a clamor, but he still acted recklessly... The Grand Procuratorate system will deal with it accordingly.'

Liao Ming said, pausing momentarily, 'They've probably got it under control by now.'

'Under control?'

Alkaid glanced at him, 'The Rebirth Society probably knows about this incident by now. I don't object to you guys taking control of Xia Wuyuan, but his intentions were indeed for social stability, and that cannot be denied. Therefore, he is not a criminal, and to prevent Rebirth Society's people from silencing him, you need to ensure his safety.'

This command-like statement made Fang Lu and Liao Ming somewhat dissatisfied.

But considering Alkaid's achievement of becoming a Grandmaster at the age of nineteen...

Being a bit proud and arrogant seemed within reason.

Thus, the two of them didn't say anything unpleasant.

Instead, Liao Ming responded with a businesslike tone, 'It will certainly be the Grand Procuratorate taking control of him. The Grand Procuratorate has a sufficiently strong armed force, with Grandmasters, martial masters, and Sharpshooters not in short supply. Even a Martial Saint attempting to break in could be surrounded and killed.'

'His safety must be ensured.'

Alkaid stated, 'If you can't do it, hand him over to me.'

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Zong Yan beside him remarked, 'Was it indirectly because of you that Xia Wuyuan looked into the Demons?'

Alkaid nodded.

Zong Yan, Fang Lu, Liao Ming, and the others were quick to understand the logic behind it.

Then, Zong Yan comforted, 'Don't worry, the Rebirth Society can't cover the sky with one hand in Zhongzhou.'

After speaking, he addressed Fang Lu and Liao Ming, 'Since Xia Wuyuan is one of Alkaid's people, be careful in dealing with him.'

'I will inform His Majesty.'

Liao Ming said.

Seeing this, Alkaid did not say anything else.

At this time, Xia Wuyuan exposing the Demon matter...

It was indeed somewhat untimely.
