Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Even though the middle-aged man was experienced, he couldn’t respond to Wu Chang’s words immediately.

If you chat like this, there’s no way to continue the conversation.

But not being able to keep up the conversation is no big deal; another advantage of being experienced is knowing how to play dumb.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”Young people these days are humorous, Lord Peace saved Old Xu and traveled a great distance to bring us intelligence. Naturally, our Management Bureau should show some appreciation.”

”Lord Peace tackling instances alone, not joining any organization, that’s certainly carefree, but when collecting items or materials, organizations have an advantage over individuals. If Lord Peace has any demands, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them. This will also help clear up any misunderstandings we may have caused before.”

As they say, you don’t hit a smiling face, and he’s already mentioned money; Wu Chang wouldn’t rudely reject him, right?

Upon hearing of the reward, Wu Chang indeed hesitated.

But after a few breaths, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he said:

”Are you sure you can give me the reward I want?”

The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned; his expression didn’t change, but his heart tightened.

Good lord, this kid on the opposite side isn’t planning to make an outrageous request and take a chunk out of the Management Bureau, right?

But the conversation had reached this point, and whether it was saving Xu Dejun, delivering valuable intelligence, or gaining the friendship of this newcomer monster Peace, all were extremely valuable in themselves.

If he bites, he bites; once someone takes your food, they’re easier to get along with in the future.

The middle-aged man indifferently said, ”I’m sure.”

Wu Chang paused and said, ”I’ve recorded everything.”

The middle-aged man helplessly said, ”What I, Hou Jingchuan, say carries some weight in the Management Bureau, feel free to speak your request.”

Wu Chang’s expression instantly changed, smiling, ”My request is simple: I want to participate in the live recording of ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’, and the show must not be interrupted, it must be broadcast in full.”

”Such a small request, the Management Bureau can’t possibly fail to meet it, right?”

Hou Jingchuan’s heart skipped a beat. To be honest, he would have preferred if Peace made an outrageous demand, even if it was for three or five A-Level items; he could grit his teeth and agree.

But to request participation in ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ and for it not to be interrupted, that made things complicated.

To be precise, if the relationship between the Four Major Organizations and Wu Chang was harmonious, and ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ approached Wu Chang for the sake of popularity, he wouldn’t care.

But with Wu Chang actively requesting to be on ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’, he wasn’t sure what to expect.

Who knows what big news Wu Chang might come up with?

Hou Jingchuan hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with a hardened mindset: ”Alright, I can agree to that, when?”

Wu Chang immediately replied, ”Now! I want to be interviewed in the first segment of the show.”

There are still ten minutes before today’s broadcast of ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ starts, just enough time.

A promise had been made, thinking too much about what Wu Chang would say would only add to the headaches. Hou Jingchuan, somewhat resigned, said: ”Alright, please leave your contact information. Enter the Crimson Courtyard now, and someone from ’Each Issue’s Hotspot’ will quickly get in touch with you.”

Wu Chang laughed and said, ”Mr. Hou is indeed an important figure in the Management Bureau, straightforward and decisive.”

”I still have things to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer. Although we had some misunderstandings before, those are minor issues. If there are any problems related to the Bright Society in the future, feel free to contact me. We’re friends, prices are negotiable.”

After Wu Chang finished speaking, he immediately activated the Long-distance Teleportation Array and disappeared in front of the Management Bureau’s personnel.

As Wu Chang vanished from sight, the composed look on Hou Jingchuan’s face faded, his brow furrowed.

Judging from Wu Chang’s last words, Wu Chang knew far more than he had anticipated.

He looked at the metal piece in his hand and said to the young man who had brought Wu Chang in:

”Notify everyone to hold a meeting, suspend all affairs, and everyone must be present, immediately, right now!”

Old Xu, old Xu, I hope you didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have to that Lord Peace. I know you wanted to seize the opportunity to bring him in to help, but that guy seems to want to cause a big stir before helping.”
