Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

But most of them are just some Grade A and B martial artists, with only a few barely reaching the Grandmaster level.

The most concealed among them is one martial artist whose strength is about at the Half-Step Grandmaster level, but in Zhang Beixing’s view, it’s not much different.

Even if everyone in the entire manor banded together, they wouldn’t pose the slightest threat to him.

The car slowly came to a halt in front of the stately palace doors, and at this moment, Richard, sensing the change in environment, opened his eyes and began to survey his surroundings.

Looking out the car window, he observed the overall environment of the manor. This young man from the Federation family showed no extra expression, and there was even a hint of indifference in his gaze.

Clearly, this luxurious architectural environment seemed quite ordinary to Richard, and the Alba Clan indeed paled in comparison to the Federation family.

If it weren’t for the Federation family’s weaker position compared to the alliance of the other five major families, Richard would never bother with such trivial matters.

When the car came to a complete stop, without waiting for the driver to open the door for him, Richard quickly opened the car door and walked towards Zhang Beixing on this side.

For the future assistance of the Federation family, he had to let go of his pride.

But as soon as Richard got off the car, several people standing at the palace entrance hurriedly bowed respectfully.

There were five people standing at the palace entrance, with the leader being a middle-aged man dressed in a low-key yet elegant manner, with chiseled features, high eyebrows and nose, a quintessential European face.

Beside him stood a similarly dressed elegant lady, clearly indicating a marital relationship, while the other few...

Three people except one, a man in a black suit dressed like a steward.

The other two, with hair similar to the elder at the front, were brown and slightly curly, bearing some resemblance in their brows, and contrasting in age with Richard.

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were very humble, all slightly bowing their heads.

After Richard personally welcomed Zhang Beixing off the car, the elder’s expression suddenly turned a little excited.

He quickly advanced two steps to stand in front of Zhang Beixing.

”Minister Zhang, you’ve finally come!”

The middle-aged man spoke in Chinese, although his accent was somewhat awkward, Zhang Beixing could still understand.

Zhang Beixing nodded slightly; his face now on the street had a recognition level no less than that of international top stars, and it’s no surprise the middle-aged man could recognize him.

From his demeanor, it was clear that the Alba family indeed had no way to deal with that monster; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so excited upon seeing him.

Standing beside Zhang Beixing, Richard introduced him: ”This is the current leader of the Alba family, Alba White.”

Upon hearing Richard’s introduction of himself, the middle-aged man froze for a moment, then quickly reacted with a hint of apology on his face, adjusting his demeanor.

”Using Chinese, I acted hastily, Minister Zhang.

Let me introduce myself again, I am Alba White, the leader of the Alba family.

You can also call me White, this is my wife and two sons, as well as our steward.

Those who have come out to greet you personally today are all the people I trust the most, and of course, there are many Alba family members currently inside the rooms.

At the dinner I will introduce each of them to you.”

Zhang Beixing glanced through the introduction, and everyone making eye contact with Zhang Beixing would immediately bow slightly.

However, the ultimate purpose of this trip abroad was still about that unknown monster, Zhang Beixing had no interest in experiencing these European family etiquettes, nor the so-called dinner.

”Mr. White, I think there’s no need for a dinner.

As soon as I entered the manor, I felt that you’ve arranged a lot of security, including several Grandmasters, and even a Half-Step Grandmaster.

I doubt your family members have much mood for a party at this moment.”

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, White’s expression hesitated for a moment, and then immediately turned bitter.

”Minister Zhang truly lives up to his name; initially, I planned to let you settle down first and speak with you gradually.

Unexpectedly, you already know so much now.

You are correct; our entire family indeed has no mood for hosting any dinner currently.

Every night, everyone gets extremely tense, and any strange noise instinctively reminds them of the monster.

Sleeping has almost become a luxury.”

After White’s explanation, Zhang Beixing took a closer look and found that the people present indeed showed signs of fatigue, clearly indicating they hadn’t rested well in recent days.

”Has the monster caused any casualties for you now?”

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s question, White shook his head.

”Not yet, we’ve been very vigilant, and we’ve managed to repel it during its recent appearances.

But it seems that hot weapons have no effect on it, and the mercenaries we hired were almost wiped out by it.

Even a Half-Step Grandmaster was injured by it last night, unable to take action.

If you hadn’t come today, we wouldn’t know if we’d still be able to see you.”

Zhang Beixing nodded, it seemed that the biochemical engineering of the organization has indeed advanced significantly.

Yet it still had apparent flaws; even though it could injure a Half-Step Grandmaster, these past days there’s been no casualties in the entire manor.

If it had been his move, he could have wiped out everyone in the manor on the first night.

”That’s not right, if even a Half-Step Grandmaster couldn’t handle it, how has it not broken in over so many days?”

White sighed softly.

He gestured Zhang Beixing inside the palace.

”Minister Zhang, let’s talk inside. I’ll have Mr. Jimmy tell you the specifics about the monster, ah, by the way, he is the Half-Step Grandmaster who faced the monster.”

Zhang Beixing did not object, as hearing from a Half-Step Grandmaster was always better than from a normal person who hadn’t even seen the monster.

With White leading Zhang Beixing into the palace entrance.

Upon entering one felt an immediate sense of wealth; intricately carved tiles covered the floor, a large central pool, with spiral staircases on both sides leading to the second floor.

A ceiling more than ten meters high instantly imparted a feeling of entering a cathedral.

It was hard to imagine this was a private residence; the only blemish was, on the second floor corridor, a man with curls of brown hair like White stood.

Sharing a European face, only this man’s expression bore a touch of arrogance, quite different from White family’s humility.

The man looked down in disdain, at Zhang Beixing.

White’s expression shifted upon seeing this man, he directly chided softly, ”Wasn’t I asking you to stay in your room? Who allowed you out?”

Upon hearing White’s rebuke, the man snorted contemptuously, leaving with a disdainful glance, stepping back into the room.

White turned around, looking at Zhang Beixing with great apology.

”I’m really sorry, Minister Zhang, this is my eldest son, whom you would call the firstborn, during his youth he had an unfortunate injury to his leg, making him uneasy around people, hence I didn’t let him out.”

Zhang Beixing nodded, not overly concerned.

Though the man’s gaze was admittedly a bit unpleasant, it was only a minor matter.

White welcomed Zhang Beixing past the central pool, walking forward into a spacious hall.

In the center stood a broad table with a classic European style, surrounded by four leather sofas.

After inviting Zhang Beixing and Richard to take a seat, White instructed his steward: ”Go invite Mr. Jimmy over.”

The steward in a black suit, standing firmly, nodded and quickly stepped out.

After a short while.

The steward returned carrying a tray with several plump ceramic cups steaming.

Trailing behind the steward was a man with a pale complexion and weak aura.

White took two ceramic cups from the steward’s tray.

”Minister Zhang, Mr. Richard please enjoy your coffee.”

”Mr. Jimmy please sit, Minister Zhang wants to learn about the monster.”

On mentioning the monster, the pale-faced and weak Jimmy showed a slight constriction in his pupils, his breath instantly growing more rapid, as if recalling some unpleasant memory...
