Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Zhang Beixing frowned slightly, suspecting something.

Could it be that his perception was faulty?

But why was it that everything else seemed perfectly normal to his senses, even to the point of clearly sensing the two Special Forces soldiers he saved earlier staggering back towards the manor?

Zhang Beixing followed the direction in which the monster had fled and pursued it. But as his perception had detected, the monster left a trail of footprints after exiting the courtyard wall, and Zhang Beixing continued to examine them.

The monster had only three hands, making its footprints unusually distinctive. Combined with its incredible speed, they appeared as three rows of irregular shallow pits in the woods.

These shallow pits continued for a few kilometers and then suddenly vanished. At this point, Zhang Beixing stood on a tree branch, looking at the suddenly disappeared footprints, frowning in deep thought.

Such a situation was a first for Zhang Beixing; even if enemies fled in the past, their presence never vanished entirely. This situation was truly bizarre.

The only comforting thing is that despite the monster possessing many strange characteristics, its strength was average compared to Zhang Beixing. As long as its target was Alba Manor, he wouldn’t fear capturing it.

Standing on the branch, Zhang Beixing slowly retracted his gaze from the shallow pits, turning to look in the direction of Alba Manor.

If the monster’s target was the palace of Alba Manor, Zhang Beixing could fully understand, but it was clearly heading towards that unassuming little chapel instead.

A gentle breeze swept through, and the branches swayed slightly. The tall figure perched atop them had already vanished.

Zhang Beixing moved swiftly among the treetops, and in just a short amount of time, he had lightly landed within Alba Manor.

At this moment, the manor was brightly lit, evidently due to the panic caused by the monster’s intrusion into the manor among White and the others.

Zhang Beixing did not enter through the main gate of the manor and came in almost silently.

Yet, he was still detected by the manor’s security system.

In an instant, several intense spotlights converged on the spot where Zhang Beixing stood.

White, who had been frightened earlier, was now anxiously watching outside with his wife in the room. Although the monster had been driven away by Zhang Beixing, White was still scared.

After all, given their current status, dying inexplicably would be too much of a loss.

As soon as the spotlights flickered in the yard, White’s gaze followed suit.

He discovered it was Zhang Beixing, appearing utterly nonchalant.

Pointing at the window, White excitedly spoke to the lady.

”It’s Minister Zhang, Minister Zhang has returned.”

The lady’s mood was also somewhat excited at the moment.

After all, those sent out to deal with the monster before basically returned as corpses.

Even Jimmy was carried back on a stretcher at the time.

But judging by Minister Zhang’s appearance now, there wasn’t even a hint of injury, as if he had just taken an evening stroll.

”This Minister Zhang is really impressive; perhaps the monster has already been killed by him.”

While speaking, White had already unlocked the special room, turned to the lady and said.

”Yes, let’s go out and take a look.”

”Oh, yes, bring the steak with you.”

The lady nodded, picking up the steak from the desk that White had been guarding in his arms.

During the days when the monster was around, White and the lady always felt like a sharp blade hung over their heads at all times.

Although it was relatively safe during the day, they could neither sleep well nor eat properly.

Finally, the hefty burden in their hearts lifted.

As they stepped out of the room, the entire manor seemed to brighten.

The two hurriedly descended the stairs, just in time to run into Zhang Beixing as he entered the palace.

On the other side of the staircase, the steward and Richard also emerged.

Moreover, Zhang Beixing could sense that many doors in the palace quietly opened a crack.

Many eyes were cautiously observing him, probably the other family members ordered by White to stay in their rooms.

Though they were curious about him, they dared not venture outside without White’s command.

Quickly, White approached Zhang Beixing, and before he could speak, White had already taken the still warm plate of steak from the lady’s hand.

”Minister Zhang, do you think the beef I preserved is to your satisfaction?”

Zhang Beixing looked doubtfully at the steak for a moment.

Then he remembered that he seemed to have mentioned it casually before leaving.

But it was just because he felt slightly hungry then, not truly intending for him to keep holding onto a piece.

With such vast wealth, what’s the harm in pan-frying a few more pieces?

Zhang Beixing helplessly curled his lips.

”Satisfied, very satisfied.”

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, White’s smile instantly brightened.

Indeed, it had to be me, strictly following Minister Zhang’s words.

Then White asked the question he was most concerned with.

”Minister Zhang, where is the monster’s corpse now?”

Upon hearing White’s words, Zhang Beixing was taken aback.

Corpse?

When did I ever say the monster was dead?

Zhang Beixing shook his head.

”What corpse? This monster is not as simple as it seems.”

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, the smile on White and the others’ faces instantly froze.

Not dead, it escaped again?

A sense of melancholy once again welled up in White’s heart.

”I was somewhat presumptuous, Minister Zhang. I didn’t expect this monster to be so fearsome.”
