"What, what are you doing... are you going to silence me?" Wen Wen took a step back, looking warily at the Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight shook his head and pulled over a stool to sit down.
"Let's talk. You're not allowed to tell anyone what you saw today, and for the next while, you need to help me conceal my peculiarities during the day."
"What's in it for me?"
Wen Wen rubbed his fingers and asked with a smile, hinting at his intentions, which anyone could understand.
The Dark Knight was silent for two seconds. "I promise not to reveal your identity to anyone else."
"Identity? What identity?" Wen Wen's heart skipped a beat, but he showed no reaction on his face.
"Mr. Black Cross, there's no need to pretend with me." The Dark Knight bluntly exposed Wen Wen's disguise. "From the moment you started to make a name for yourself, you were placed on my observation list."
"Then I discovered you transforming into 'Black Cross' several times, the most recent being in the East Oil region, at the node of the spiritual energy resurgence anomaly."
Wen Wen's eyes widened. "How do you know all this?"
When he transformed, he always made sure there was no one around. How did the Dark Knight discover his identity?
"How I know, I cannot tell you. But don't worry too much, you're not the only one I'm monitoring. As long as you don't do anything wicked, I won't interfere with you."
The Dark Knight's knowledge of Wen Wen's identity stemmed from the satellites he launched into space. He had his own intelligence gathering system, and anyone with a certain level of strength or potential would be placed on his surveillance list.
In the current Federation, satellites were still things that only existed in science fiction movies, so few superhumans realized there were eyes in the sky watching them.
The Dark Knight wanted Wen Wen to accompany him this time because he knew Wen Wen's strength and believed Wen Wen could play an important role at a critical moment.
"Alright then, it's a deal..."
Wen Wen sighed helplessly, feeling that being caught with his pants down was not a good feeling.
However, the Dark Knight, whose foolish appearance had been discovered, was likely ten times worse off than Wen Wen.
"Since we've cleared the air, why don't we delve deeper? I've always been very curious about you..."
The Dark Knight and Wen Wen started conversing. Top powerhouses like him were often lonely; they found it difficult to have equal conversations with superhumans below the Cataclysmic level.
So, when he encountered a powerhouse of the same level as Wen Wen, he naturally opened up.
In the Dark Knight's opinion, Wen Wen was very much like him, both liking to hide themselves, develop their own forces in secret, and having another identity in the open.
As a Punisher for the Hunter Association, he was similar to Wen Wen, a form of cooperation where the Hunter Association had no say in his actions.
Wen Wen wouldn't tell him anything core, but he could talk freely about other things, as he didn't know much about Cataclysmic level powerhouses.
The two had a pleasant conversation that lasted until dawn. The moment the sun rose, the Dark Knight became dazed.
Wen Wen took out a black sleeping bag, had the Dark Knight lie in it, then zipped it up and tucked the folded sleeping bag into his arms.
This sleeping bag was given to Wen Wen by the Dark Knight. Without the Federation's restraint equipment, this sleeping bag could also suppress the Dark Knight's actions during the day.
However, this required someone he knew to be present, and he would be released from the sleeping bag at night.
Hen Run breathed a long sigh of relief after the man in black, who looked like a lunatic, disappeared. Regardless of whether he was a superpower, normal people would be afraid of powerful madmen.
The group then successfully arrived at the capital of Da Song without encountering any incidents.
The capital of Da Song was a first-class prosperous place on the Xiafu continent, but in Wen Wen's eyes, it was just so-so. Some people might enjoy this classical style, but Wen Wen preferred the modern world's neon lights and bustling traffic.
Harmann's location was the largest entertainment venue in the capital of Da Song, supervised by the Ministry of Rites of Da Song, commonly known as the Jiaofang Division...
Due to his extensive knowledge, wealth at a young age, and handsome appearance, Harmann was very popular here. He didn't even have to pay to stay at the courtesan's place, meaning he could get it for free.
However, as a great tycoon, Harmann's entire space ring was filled with precious metals, so even if the courtesan didn't charge, he would force it upon them, often several times the standard price...
This made him even more popular with the girls there.
As for why Harmann was knowledgeable and talented, it was naturally because the Federal Common Language curriculum included many essential ancient poems.
After the popularization of Federal Common Language, people from all regions could appreciate the beauty of classical Huafu poetry, so anyone from any region could recite a few poems casually.
As the heir to the Harmann family, the number one family in the East Oil region, Harmann's attainments in this area were even higher.
Once the courtesans received a poem from Harmann, they could become famous throughout the land, so of course, they would serve Harmann wholeheartedly.
When Wen Wen found Harmann, he saw him reclining on a soft couch, with over a dozen beautiful girls attending to him. Hen Run, who followed behind Wen Wen, was mesmerized. Every girl here was 'very moist'...
Zhu Pengpei, on the other hand, seemed unfazed. What was there to see in these women as thin as bamboo poles? He thought his companion Chun Ling was much more attractive...
"Girls, you may go and rest for now. I have something to discuss with this gentleman." Harmann waved his hand, and the courtesans reluctantly departed.
Wen Wen grabbed Harmann by the collar. "We'll talk about important matters later. First, tell me how you did it."
"By reciting poetry, of course. These girls have no resistance to poetry. The popularization of Federal Common Language is truly wonderful," Harmann said dreamily. Sudan Fiction Network.
"Just reciting poems is enough? I'll try it later."
Wen Wen nodded, feeling a bit eager. He wouldn't do anything inappropriate, he just wanted to experience what Harmann had felt before.
"We'll discuss romantic matters later. Let's talk about the main business first."
Hen Run led Wen Wen's left and right protectors away, leaving only Wen Wen and Harmann in the room.
"These days, I've obtained a lot of information through the Jincha Guard. Firstly, it can be confirmed that everyone who was in Yuliannu has come to this world."
"In the past period, there have been hundreds of anomalies in various places across the Xiafu continent. These anomalies are caused by outsiders from Yuliannu."
"Originally, the development of this world should have been the same as the Federation a thousand years ago. But now, with so many outsiders arriving, the balance of the superpower world has been broken. No one knows what will happen next."
"Most anomalies are caused by minor characters, and we don't need to pay too much attention to them. What we need to focus on are these few places..."
Harmann took out a map and began to explain it to Wen Wen.
