I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

After Shadow made that statement, Nie Chengyu also put down his coffee cup.

The politician blinked, then revealed a “sincere” look of admiration:

“Mr. Ma En, we are enemies here today, but as I said, I've read your files. To be honest, I really admire people like you. You've always possessed the power of a Rank Ⅴ, and you could kill us mortals who offend you at any time. If it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't even dare to speak loudly to you.

“If you were truly a Rank Ⅴ ability user not affiliated with any organization, almost all politicians would show you ample respect when they met you, and if you killed a politician like me with good reason, I don't think the Federation would ultimately try to make an enemy of you because of it, unless there were special circumstances.

“In my opinion, your status is much higher than ours as congressmen. I've dreamed of living a free and unrestrained life like yours, but you haven't embraced any material or spiritual enjoyment.”

“You rejected power and freedom, disguised yourself as a low-level ability user, endured treatment you didn't need to, and even risked your life, just to help that ability user you believe in.

“And I can tell that you are very intelligent and calm, without a trace of fanaticism in your heart. What does that mean?

“It shows that you are a noble person, a person with a strong will, a person who can sacrifice himself for the right thing. In other words, you would never let your sister die because of you.

“If you could do such a thing, how could you stand against us.”

After saying this, Nie Chengyu curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that he had completely seen through Ma En, as if to say that we had already figured out your bottom line, so there was no need to pretend anymore.

Faced with the politician's somewhat aggressive “compliment,” Ma En also raised his hand:

“Go back first.”

The girl standing behind him nodded slightly, and exited their line of sight without saying anything, as calmly as if the bargaining chip on the negotiating table was someone else's soul.

Nie Chengyu reiterated:

“The Federation will not back down. I know that you will act this way regardless of whether you care about her life or death, and I also know that you do care about her, otherwise a smart person like you wouldn't have come here with wishful thinking to negotiate with us evil Federation politicians.”

Ma En was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said:

“You want to trade my freedom for her soul contract.”

Shadow said:

“That's right, we can even sign a contract to protect her, and even you might not die. After all, once you are caught by us, you will no longer pose any threat. Maybe when Divine Firmament yields, you can become a guest of the Federation again, and protect humanity and the Federation together with her.

“Although you lost, this ending is already very good for the enemies of the Federation.”

Ma En lowered his eyes slightly, and then said:

“Impossible.”

The others didn't say anything, because they knew that Ma En would definitely offer his own conditions.

And as they expected, Ma En continued:

“To be honest, I am indeed helping Divine Firmament, but unlike what you think, there are no special secrets in it, and I am not a subordinate of Divine Firmament.

“I just saw it and wanted to help a few times.”

Nie Chengyu asked with a smile:

“Do you believe that yourself?”

Ma En replied:

“We live in an abnormal world, and there are many ways to prove that I am telling the truth, and whether you believe it or not, I can guarantee that I will never help Divine Firmament again. That is the condition I can agree to.

“I will no longer be an ally of Divine Firmament, and you can ignore my existence.

“It's like nothing ever happened.”

Nie Chengyu's face showed a somewhat amused expression:

“Nothing ever happened? What do you take the Federation for? If you and us just had some minor disagreements, maybe we could really let it go. After all, you are a Rank Ⅴ ability user.

“But you are involved in the affairs of the Divine Firmament Walker, the Divine Firmament Walker! If we just let it go like this, wouldn't other Rank Ⅴ ability users also try to see if they could help her escape?

“I'm not talking about 'good people' like you, but all kinds of foreign high-level powerhouses who want the Federation to be destroyed. They all don't want to see us and Divine Firmament join forces.

“If we really let you go, they will only think that the Federation is easy to bully.

“And judging from what you said, it seems that you don't plan to confess your past actions. Do you really think that as long as you promise not to take action again, you can really make up for the losses you have caused to the Federation?

“Impossible, you must surrender to us completely, there is no other choice.”

When he spoke excitedly, Nie Chengyu stood up directly, almost pointing at Ma En's nose and scolding him as a sinner of the Federation and all mankind, but in the end, he expressed his anger in a more restrained way.

Although he looked particularly indignant, Ma En didn't think there was much sincerity in his performance.

Now he and Shadow were playing the roles of the good cop and the bad cop, trying to force him to submit.

Shadow also followed closely and said:

“Ma En, the Federation's professional teams have determined your bottom line. No matter what the truth is, they have already determined that you will definitely yield for You Yue. Although I know you may have other ideas, they can't shake this view at all now, so if you really don't care about You Yue…

“Then get up and leave, you won't be able to convince them no matter what.”

He seemed to be persuading Ma En, but in reality, he was also cutting off his retreat.

As long as he stayed here, he would expose his true desire to save You Yue. Of course, even if Shadow didn't do this, they would still think so.

They wanted him to reveal a flaw in the negotiation.

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for choosing the wrong opponent.” Nie Chengyu pressed on step by step, “You shouldn't have tried to be an enemy of the Federation in the first place, and you shouldn't have gotten involved in Divine Firmament's affairs.

“Even Divine Firmament can't defeat us, let alone you.

“Surrender, or watch her die again?”

He gave Ma En an ultimatum.

Ma En sighed:

“Then it seems there's really no way, okay…

“Then take a look at this.”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper and handed it to Nie Chengyu diagonally opposite him.

Nie Chengyu took it over, looking at the densely packed names on it with some incomprehension:

“What is this?”

Ma En kindly explained:

“There are four congressmen who are currently in the Southern Federation, and seventy-nine other politicians. They should all be sleeping soundly at home now, the kind that can't be woken up no matter how you call them.

“You can check.”

Nie Chengyu's expression changed:

“You want to threaten the Federation?”

Ma En shook his head slightly:

“Not a threat, this is just to set the stage for what I'm going to say next.

“Don't worry, you can confirm what I said first.”

Shadow had already begun contacting Federation members outside, while Nie Chengyu looked at Ma En with a cold face and said:

“Even if you can threaten the lives of our congressmen, you won't be able to do anything once you're caught. Or are you just planning to use the lives of a few of them as bargaining chips to threaten us?

“If that's the case, you're underestimating the Federation. Politicians are inherently high-risk professions. While enjoying the power and benefits they bring, we have long been prepared to pay the price of our lives.”

Anyway, it wasn't him who was going to die.

And what he said was correct. Although it wasn't that they were really prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their duties, those politicians had no choice in this situation.

If the real controllers of the Federation were politicians, they might succumb out of fear of death, after all, none of them could guarantee that they wouldn't be the next hostage, but this would also make the Federation particularly easy to be blackmailed.

So in order to prevent ability users from dealing with the Federation, the lives of politicians would become extremely insignificant at this time.

After all, in the final analysis, they were not the masters of the Federation.

But Ma En's next words were completely unexpected.

“Not me.” Ma En said calmly, “Us.”

Nie Chengyu hadn't reacted yet:

“What us?”

Although he hadn't realized what was going on, the ease on Shadow's face had completely disappeared, and he stared at Ma En with a heavy expression, as if he was facing a true “enemy.”

“The time they were attacked was all after we came in.” Shadow said, “At this moment, another Rank Ⅴ ability user is wandering around, and is attacking Federation members.”

These words made Nie Chengyu's expression change instantly, because he also knew the weight of these words. This meant that at this moment, Ma En had another Rank Ⅴ ally in the dark, and this negotiation would start again.

At this time, he also gradually realized that he might have missed the best opportunity just now.

Ma En looked at them with a faint smile:

“That's right, if it was just me, of course I wouldn't be qualified to negotiate terms with you. You can indeed arrest me and put me in prison, but my companions will continue to slaughter your members outside.

“This list only took us a few days, I think you should be able to imagine that as long as we want, we can continuously find and dig out your members, and our targets will be limited to politicians.”

In fact, Ma En was bluffing a bit here. The few congressmen he could find were either those whose activity traces were more obvious, or those whose names were provided by “insiders.” This effect would only work this time.

And if they really tore their faces apart, the Federation would definitely be on guard.

But even if the other party took all of this into account, it was enough.

Shock slowly faded from Nie Chengyu's face, and then he naturally cast a sincere gaze, asking in a polite and almost humble tone:

“Mr. Ma En, can I ask what exactly 'you' refers to?”

Click.

Someone pushed the door open.

The three members of the Federation turned around at the same time. The person who came in was a very young-looking girl.

Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw her.

Because he could feel that the other party was his own kind, and he couldn't even feel the other party's strength, it seemed that there was a characteristic on her that concealed her information, which meant danger.

[Moon God Power Ⅴ-3 (Ⅴ-5/Sealed)

A collection of Ma En and humanity's understanding of the concept of the moon. It is already a mature independent spiritual entity. It has obtained most of the power that the Moon God should have at this time through the Heart-Locking Armor, but it is still limited by the strength of the Heart-Locking Armor and the Titan Seal.]

Seri walked to Ma En's side, then turned to look at the few of them:

“I can answer your questions. We are referring to the abnormal organization that Ma En and I belong to. You can call us the Secret Alliance. I was the one who let your people take a nap.

“And I am Ma En's superior in the Secret Alliance.”

Shadow and Nie Chengyu exchanged glances, completely unexpected the direction of this negotiation. They originally thought they could force Ma En into a corner, but they didn't expect that he would use such a simple and crude method to break the situation.

A Rank Ⅴ ability user and multiple Rank Ⅴ ability users are two completely different concepts.

The moment Seri appeared, the problem in front of them became countless times more difficult.

Shadow said:

“Your people helped Divine Firmament, is this your organization's intention?”

Seri shook her head:

“No, our organization doesn't restrain its members much. This is Ma En's personal behavior, but although we don't restrain our members, we don't allow others to kill our members either.

“Hand over the contract to me, and then Ma En will guarantee not to get involved in this matter again.”

She directly stretched out her hand towards Shadow, as if she was sure that he would hand over the contract.

Nie Chengyu said:

“Your subordinates are with the Federation…”

Seri smiled with a face full of indifference:

“Sorry, you may have misunderstood us a bit…

“We are not afraid of the Federation.”

The atmosphere became more and more dignified.

Nie Chengyu, who was choked, didn't dare to speak anymore. As he said just now, in fact, in the depths of his heart, he was still full of awe for Rank Ⅴ ability users. He dared to speak to Ma En like that just now because he felt that the other party had completely failed to escape the Federation's palm, and this was also his job.

Now, he didn't want to lose his life because of offending this organization because of what he said.

Seeing Nie Chengyu's appearance, Shadow also knew that he could only start now. Although it seemed that they would not be able to achieve their original goals at all, there was no other way.

He slowly said:

“As long as he can promise that he is not Divine Firmament's subordinate, and guarantee that he will not help Divine Firmament to fight against our Federation in the future, we can hand over You Yue's contract to him.”

“That's right, that's right.” Nie Chengyu also smiled very skillfully at this time, “Ma En, why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't this a misunderstanding? Oh, if we had known about this, where would we have gone to find this kind of thing? Our Federation definitely hopes that everyone can get along in harmony. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, then everyone is happy.”

Hearing this, Seri patted Ma En's head, and then said in a somewhat reproachful tone:

"Ma En will be punished when he gets back. Exposing our existence is no small matter. The conditions he mentioned earlier were only because he didn't want to reveal us. Now that the reason is gone, he's even less worried about you."

"To be honest, we're not afraid of you targeting our members. If you didn't have that contract he cares about so much, I wouldn't even care if Ma En helped Shenxiao."

"Anyway, you can't do anything to him."

The Shadow said with a serious expression:

"So, what do you want?"

The girl also revealed a bit of fierceness on her face:

"Since you've already understood the situation, then tell us...

"Who is hiding behind the scenes trying to eliminate our members?"

Ma En also spoke:

"That's right, help us investigate and hand over all information about him, and then our grudges will be cleared up.

"How about it?"

The Shadow looked at Nie Chengyu, and when the young politician realized he had to make a decision, he immediately grasped Ma En's hand as if a tiger were chasing him, and then said without hesitation:

"Deal!"
