"Blood Spirit Master, this is the situation..."

Tie Xiong hurriedly explained everything he knew to the girl in the red dress.

Lu Heng was naturally well aware of the situation regarding the second statue.

In fact, he hadn’t really anticipated that Feng Shun’s statue would end up in Sheng Mei after all its twists and turns.

However, the statue being revealed is better than Feng Shun keeping it hidden in the cabinet.

At least he could use this statue to start causing trouble.

It’s just a pity that this time, he miscalculated a bit.

The Scorpion Monster acted too strongly, leading Talan’s military to seek help from other countries.

It seems the key to resolving this lies with Tie Xiong!

When Tie Xiong arrives in Sheng Mei, he’ll have a showdown with the Scorpion Monster, and then make it disappear...

"Oh!"

Thinking about this, after Tie Xiong finished explaining the situation, Lu Heng merely responded indifferently.

Tie Xiong, who was in the dark, couldn’t see Lu Heng’s expression at all.

But Lu Heng’s deliberately cold response left Tie Xiong feeling anxious and confused.

"Could it be that she doesn’t care about the second statue at all?"

Tie Xiong pondered and couldn’t guess the other’s intentions.

He initially thought that upon learning the whereabouts of the second Evil Ghost Statue, the girl in the red dress would have him retrieve it.

Using this as a pretense, he could inquire about how to activate the statue’s power and turn the holder into an Extraordinary Ability User just like him.

This time, Director He sent the Special Operations Office to Sheng Mei, ostensibly to eliminate the monster for Talan’s official side.

But in reality, their main goal was to get ahead and take the second Evil Ghost Statue back to Dragon Country...

This mission is for everyone, namely the entire Special Operations Office.

And he himself has an additional secret mission.

This secret mission involves contacting the girl in the red dress as much as possible.

Then find out how to activate the statue.

According to the data sent from Sheng Mei’s Consulate General, after leaving Feng Shun, the second statue had been in the hands of several people.

Unfortunately, regardless of their status and position, none succeeded in activating the statue to gain Extraordinary Power.

It was precisely because of this that the elderly man of the Nawa Clan deemed it a fake, discarding it in the secret room of the ancestral grave.

Little did they know, the statue was genuine!

Moreover, it brought about a "Talan Monster" that shook the world!

The lesson learned by the elderly man of the Nawa Clan and others made Director He deeply understand that accessing Extraordinary Ability through the Evil Ghost Statue is not simple.

For the statue to be activated, there must be conditions.

But what those conditions are, no one knows.

Even Tie Xiong, who has already gained power through the statue, remains clueless.

That’s why Director He assigned Tie Xiong a secret task.

To ask the girl in the red dress how to activate the second statue.

However...

Tie Xiong realized he had miscalculated.

The girl in the red dress wasn’t as curious as he imagined.

She showed indifference to the emergence of the second statue.

How could he dare to inquire about activating the statue?

After hesitating for a moment, Tie Xiong forced a dry smile: "It’s interesting how the second statue changed hands so many times and still hasn’t been activated!"

He then laughed awkwardly a few times.

These awkward laughs made Lu Heng embarrassed for him.

"You, whom I selected as an Extraordinary Ability User, how could you be so pathetic?"

"Speak up if you have something to say!"

"I don’t have much time..."

Lu Heng had no time to waste with Tie Xiong’s nonsense.

He had to continue pondering how to make the second statue fall into the hands of the predestined person!

"Um... Um..."

Seeing such directness, Tie Xiong was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Blood Spirit Master, how can one activate the Blood God Statue?"

Finally, he asked the premeditated question.

"The predestined person will naturally obtain the Blood God’s power!"

Lu Heng remained silent for a moment and then earnestly made up a lie.

"Predestined person?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xiong couldn’t help but frown.

Was he able to activate the statue and gain extraordinary power because he was the predestined person?

But this answer is too vague, isn’t it?

He couldn’t help but ask further: "What kind of person is the predestined person?"

"Ha ha!"

Lu Heng chuckled faintly but did not respond to the question.

What is a predestined person?

Naturally, it’s whoever he deems!

Whoever he declares as the predestined person becomes the predestined person!

With this light chuckle, Tie Xiong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

"Ssss..."

He instinctively inhaled sharply.

In an instant, he was pulled from the eerie darkness he had been in earlier.

Then, he opened his eyes and returned directly to reality.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Hearing Tie Xiong’s cry, Tie Shanshan quickly looked over, asking with deep concern.

"It’s nothing!"

Tie Xiong shook his head, and the sharp pain quickly vanished.

"Predestined person... Predestined person..."

He muttered the words he had just received.

"Dad, are you really okay?"

Seeing her father’s muttering demeanor, Tie Shanshan’s look of worry deepened.

"Really, I’m fine!"

"Just now, I saw the girl in the red dress in a dream and talked with her about some things."

Tie Xiong went ahead and shared his recent experience with everyone.

"So only the predestined person can activate the statue and gain extraordinary power!"

Tie Shanshan exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

"No wonder from Feng Shun onwards, the statue passed through so many hands, and no one could activate it..."

"Turns out there’s such a condition!"

Li Xun stroked his chin and spoke slowly.

The other three retired soldier kings exchanged glances with each other.

They felt this mysterious business might be beyond their involvement.

"By the way, how much longer till we reach Sheng Mei?"

Tie Xiong asked.

"I just asked; about another half an hour, I believe!"

Li Xun immediately replied.

"That’s good!"

Tie Xiong nodded slightly, gazing out at the white clouds through the plane window.

He didn’t know how to deal with the "Talan Monster."

But as for the second statue, he was determined to obtain it!

He absolutely couldn’t let the second statue fall into the hands of others with ulterior motives.

Otherwise, the world could face more chaos.

As for that so-called predestined person, let Director He and the others worry about it!

Surely among Dragon Country’s billion-plus population, another predestined person can be found...
