Chapter 80: Confrontation
The moment Xu Zheng saw the youth, his expression changed, and he said in a low voice, “Zhang Qian, he is Wang Cha Ling.”
“As expected of his reputation.” Zhang Qian’s gaze flickered as he looked at the youth who had suddenly appeared.
He and Xu Zheng had just passed through the entrance and were very certain that no one had been hiding there before.
Instant Movement?
It seems Wang Cha Ling has also mastered the ability of Ghost Domain.
Wang Xiaoming had said before that Ghost Domain was very rare, but he always felt like he had encountered it many times. He wondered if this counted as good luck or bad luck?
Wang Cha Ling spoke in a relaxed tone, spreading his hands, “If the Wang Cha Ling that Mr. Zhang mentioned is the person in charge of Dadong City, then it should be me. After all, since you two have come from afar, how could I not personally welcome you?”
There was still a smile on his face, as if he hadn’t sensed the wariness the two had toward him.
On the contrary, this wariness was exactly the result he wanted to achieve.
His experience studying abroad told him that if he could overwhelm the opponent with momentum before negotiations, then this confrontation was already half won.
“Person in charge of Dadong City? Heh.” Zhang Qian was noncommittal about this.
Wang Cha Ling’s tone just now didn’t sound like that of a person in charge at all; it was clearly treating Dadong City as his own territory.
However, this was also Headquarters’ plan, and he, as an outsider, had no right to judge, as long as it didn’t affect the delivery mission.
Since they came with ill intent, Zhang Qian had no intention of giving Wang Cha Ling a good look either. He just said coldly, “I don’t care what your identity is. I just want to complete the task and leave. You can watch from the sidelines if you want, but you’d better not interfere with my actions.”
After speaking, Zhang Qian pulled his suitcase and was about to head to the hall when he suddenly heard a uniform sound of footsteps.
The footsteps echoed in the empty hall. Judging by the momentum, there were at least a hundred people.
In less than a moment, many men in suits surged out from both sides of the hall, like a wall of people, silently blocking Zhang Qian and Xu Zheng at the entrance.
This bit of obstruction, for Ghost Controllers, indicated Wang Cha Ling’s attitude.
It was obvious that Dadong City did not welcome them.
“Wang Cha Ling, what are you doing? This is something that Headquarters negotiated with you.” Xu Zheng warned.
Wang Cha Ling remained standing in place without moving, just chuckling lightly, “Headquarters said you are here to resolve supernatural events, but why bother you to resolve Dadong City’s supernatural events? Why not tell me the location, and I’ll help you resolve it.”
Headquarters had personally promised Dadong City to him, and now, less than three days later, they wanted to send Ghost Controllers in.
They said it was to resolve a supernatural event, but what supernatural event would span several cities and affect Zhang Qian who was far away in Flower Market?
This might very well be Headquarters testing his bottom line. If there was this precedent, then Ghost Controllers could swarm into his Dadong City in the future. What meaning would there be in him becoming this person in charge?
“After all, supernatural events are full of dangers. If you rashly go there, I’m afraid you’ll meet with misfortune.”
Wang Cha Ling seemed concerned, then said pointedly, “Mr. Xu has also come to Dadong City before and should be quite clear about the situation here. Why not persuade Mr. Zhang?”
“Zhang Qian…” Seeing Wang Cha Ling’s gaze drift over, Xu Zheng called out in a low voice as if seeking help.
He really lacked the confidence to confront Wang Cha Ling and could only pin his hopes on the equally mysterious Zhang Qian.
But at this moment, Zhang Qian was hanging his head in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
It seemed like he was weighing the pros and cons of conflicting with Wang Cha Ling.
Seeing this, Wang Cha Ling felt even more confident. He had originally thought Zhang Qian was a rescuer brought in by Headquarters, but now it seemed he was just the same kind as Xu Zheng.
He might be strong outside, but he wasn’t quite enough in front of him.
“You two should go back. Please trouble yourselves to inform Headquarters that this kind of inexplicable probing should still…”
Wang Cha Ling’s words came to an abrupt halt.
He looked around in shock and uncertainty, not knowing what had happened.
Clearly, in the previous instant he was still in the airport, but now he had inexplicably appeared in a pitch black eerie space.
All around was endless deep darkness, and only by the faint light shining from an unknown source could he see wisps of ever-changing black smoke.
Although he didn’t know where this was, it was definitely related to Zhang Qian. It was very likely that he had been attacked by Zhang Qian’s fierce ghost without realizing it.
Are they going to fight just because of a disagreement? These Ghost Controllers are really crazy.
Wang Cha Ling’s eyes flickered, no longer as composed as before.
Where are Daddy and Mommy? Why aren’t they protecting me?
Although Wang Cha Ling was very resistant to the Wang Family’s power that seemed like an inheritance but was actually like a curse, and had been searching for a way to get rid of it.
But it was undeniable that this power was indeed very strong. Since returning to the country, no supernatural had ever affected Wang Cha Ling, as if an invincible golden body was protecting him.
But now, the invincible golden body seemed to have been broken.
He absolutely could not let Zhang Qian notice any clues, or he would definitely kill me without hesitation…
Certain that Zhang Qian wouldn’t make the first move, Wang Cha Ling didn’t make a fuss and instead pretended to be relaxed, “Mr. Zhang’s strength is indeed extraordinary. There’s a hotel nearby, and I’ve already had people prepare a banquet. How about we go have a drink together?”
Zhang Qian didn’t respond, just observing Wang Cha Ling’s actions from the darkness, wanting to use this opportunity to probe what kind of fierce ghost Wang Cha Ling controlled.
He definitely couldn’t beat the ruthless person who swept twenty ghosts in a day, but this Wang Cha Ling seemed a bit strange.
If that panicked feeling wasn’t faked, then his acting skills were indeed very good.
Xu Zheng probably wouldn’t exaggerate Wang Cha Ling’s strength, but he hadn’t seen the scene of Wang Cha Ling imprisoning the fierce ghost with his own eyes and didn’t know Wang Cha Ling’s ability.
Maybe this Wang Cha Ling’s ability had some shady tricks…
Wang Cha Ling was talking to the air in place, then put on a cautious appearance, immediately drawing the attention of his subordinates.
Although these subordinates were all ordinary people, some had been exposed to the supernatural through Wang Cha Ling’s parents. The middle-aged leader immediately reacted.
Manager Wang has been hit by the Ghost Controller’s supernatural power and must find a way to wake him up.
But just as he was about to act, he suddenly collapsed limply to the ground.
The clone in the illusion was watching Wang Cha Ling, while the main body’s attention had always been on these men in suits.
Zhang Qian had thought there might be Ghost Controllers or similar hidden among them, but unexpectedly, they were all ordinary people.
Since that’s the case, you should lie down and rest for a while first.
The Ghost Hand lurking nearby suddenly attacked, leaping up like a giant spider and firmly grabbing onto these people.
Even though the derivative Ghost Hand’s strength wasn’t very powerful, it wasn’t something these ordinary people could resist.
A numbing sensation like anesthesia appeared, and in an instant, they fell into a deep sleep.
Like corpses, they were gently placed on the ground by the Ghost Hand without making a sound.
