Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 599: Battle Ends (Request Subscription)

"Ah, Dieterma, don't you understand by now? When the new aristocracy sent you out, they were already prepared to treat you as a discard. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail in this mission, the main family will retaliate afterwards, and you are the first pawn to be sacrificed to quell their anger. Do you think I would believe that a discard like you could possess any highly confidential information?"

Samikina firmly rejected Dieterma's desperate plea, saying: "Moreover, as I just mentioned, today, Mr. Shitang's will is my will, and everything is subject to his desire."

"So that means no matter what, I cannot leave this place alive today!" Dieterma, driven to utter despair by the repeated refusals, bellowed frantically with bloodshot eyes and clenched fists.

"You should have realized this long ago."

"Then let's not die together! Even in death, I refuse to fall into your hands and be tortured!" As Dieterma spoke, he reached for the demonic horn on his head, ready to sacrifice to the Demon God, hoping to take someone down with him.

"Sorry, you don't even have the power to choose to die! Elder Lin!" Pei Yan shouted loudly, channeling his source power to activate his right eye's ability.

"Countercurrent!"

"Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly!"

"Reincarnation!"

Watching Dieterma lose consciousness and kneel before him, Pei Yan took the bound rings from Elder Lin and placed them on his limbs. This guy was truly unfortunate; if it were another opponent, an upper-mid-tier Demon Race equivalent to an eighth-tier Awakened, even under siege and facing defeat, no one could stop his suicide.

Unfortunately, he encountered the four toughest opponents. Elder Lin had laid the groundwork in the previous battle, causing his meridians to reverse flow. Pei Yan thus had the opportunity to further suppress his source flow. Furthermore, Elder Zuo and Samikina were both master illusionists. As the four controlled the psychologically collapsed Dieterma, he was subdued almost instantly.

Looking around, the battle by Director Mei's side had also ended in a victory of three against one after Bailang joined. As for those accompanying mid-tier Demon Races, they had long been killed or captured in the fight with the Investigation Bureau and many Demon Races. The entire battle was nearing its end.

Gazing down at the nearly annihilated delegation's military camp, Pei Yan once again understood what it meant for an emperor's anger to cause a million deaths. Although he was not an emperor, his anger today had cost three thousand Demon Race soldiers their lives. Thinking of this, Pei Yan shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Ah, surrender would've been fine! I wasn't planning to vent my anger on them."

"They couldn't surrender." Samikina drifted to Pei Yan's side and sighed: "Dieterma chose his personal guards wisely, selecting those from new aristocratic powers' sanctuaries. Most of these soldiers had families living in those sanctuaries. If they retreated or surrendered today, their families would be expelled and left homeless."

"Born from the same root, why so eager to destroy each other!" Pei Yan remarked, patting Samikina on the shoulder with sentiment: "Mr. Samikina, ever since I came to your world, I've constantly felt the intense internal strife among you. As an outsider, I shouldn't comment, but after working with Sifuer for so long, as a friend, I have a few words for you."

"Please, tell me!" Samikina adjusted his demeanor and responded respectfully.

"Brothers fight within, but together fend off external enemies."

"Brothers fight within, but together fend off external enemies. Brothers fight within, but together fend off external enemies!" Samikina muttered this phrase repeatedly, finally giving a bitter smile: "Yes, it sounds so right, but it's so hard to achieve!"

Pei Yan wasn't sure how much of the essence the translator could convey from his classical expression, but he felt satisfied just voicing his feelings. He thought of this and no longer paid any attention to Samikina, who stood dazed and muttering, and turned to fly towards the Investigation Bureau crowd.

When he landed, Elder Lin was almost done treating Jiang Feiyang. Just as Dieterma had said, most of Jiang Feiyang's injuries were external. Once the constraints were lifted and his ability to heal naturally was restored, he could recover. Now, with Elder Lin's help, Jiang Feiyang's most severely injured hands were almost completely healed.

"Elder Lin, how is he? Can he move?"

"There are still some injuries on his face; let them remain to serve as a lesson! After this matter is dealt with, he will have to write a review and be confined!" Elder Lin withdrew his hand, his face stern and annoyed.

At this moment, nobody pleaded for Jiang Feiyang. Saving people and being concerned are one thing! But the Investigation Bureau is an entity, after all, with rules. Jiang Feiyang violated them privately and must pay for his actions.

Jiang Feiyang understood this, took the ice pack handed over by Pei Yan, applied it to his swollen face, and smiled wryly: "I know, Elder Lin, it was all my fault for causing trouble for everyone. I'll write the review when I get back today."

"Alright, now tell me, Old Jiang, how should we deal with these people? They're in your hands now." To ease the awkward atmosphere, Pei Yan directly sat beside Jiang Feiyang and handed him a cigarette, smiling as he spoke.

"One by one!" Jiang Feiyang's fingers trembled as he took the cigarette—whether it was due to excitement or anger, he spoke with a quivering voice.

To Pei Yan's surprise, the first person brought before them was a woman. After a brief moment of realization, he understood: "Oh! She's the bait, huh! Well, Old Jiang, you've got an eye for it." Then he turned to Peng Lang, who had captured her, and asked: "Didn't she run away? Where did you catch her?"

"Right inside the delegation's camp. I spotted her immediately during the count of prisoners. She neither ran nor struggled; when I called her name, she just followed." Peng Lang finished and turned towards Jiang Feiyang, saying in a deep voice: "How you deal with her is up to you."

"Let her go!" Jiang Feiyang glanced at Yinuka, took a puff of his cigarette, and calmly said.

"Let her go? After she harmed you, you're just going to let her go like that? Don't tell me you've fallen for her!" Kong Lin asked incredulously.

"What nonsense, I fell for her in less than an hour of meeting her? Ridiculous!" Jiang Feiyang rolled his eyes and continued: "What else, kill her? Angry over a failed pursuit and tricked by a pawn? I'm not that petty; just let her go!"

"Alright! You're a real man! Follow Old Jiang's advice and let her go!" Pei Yan nodded appreciatively.

Seeing the main party agree, Peng Lang naturally had no objections. He raised his hand to remove the restraining ring, pushed Yinuka on the shoulder, and said: "Go on, you're free!"

Yinuka looked around and finally rested her gaze on Jiang Feiyang, who remained smoking with his head lowered, unwilling to look at her. She whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Get lost!"

After seeing Yinuka off, the next wave brought before Pei Yan was a group of entourage members from the delegation. Among them, as soon as Belina saw Pei Yan, she hastily took a few quick steps and knelt in front of them, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading: "Spare me, dear seniors, spare me! I truly didn't know about Dieterma's kidnapping plan. We were all coerced!"
