Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"I'm a relative of the vice-captain of South City and a mid-level partner, 'Eight-Armed Vajra'. I've heard some things and came to have a look."

Tao Yu revealed his identity by taking off his mask, showing a young and handsome face, which surprised both security officers.

But being a mid-level partner wasn't really anything special; after all, they were the Inner City security team, and they held a lot of power when on official duty.

However, the reputation of 'Eight-Armed Vajra' was no less than that of a senior partner!

There was a time when he frenziedly completed bounty missions, and his strength was definitely enough to rival that of a senior partner. Moreover, there were some rumors about the new Development Zone, plus he was young.

It could be said that both his prospects and his current abilities already wielded considerable influence.

For the Inner City security team, facing the complex environment of the Inner City, they also had their own hero rankings in mind.

Without a doubt, 'Eight-Armed Vajra' was among the ranked!

After only a moment's hesitation, they took out their radios to report,

"Two people in partner uniforms want to come in, claiming to be relatives of the vice-captain of South City, calling themselves 'Eight-Armed Vajra'."

After a while, a somewhat surprised voice came from the radio,

"'Eight-Armed Vajra'? Didn't expect him to actually come from the outer city. Tao Hu... Hmm, might really be a relative. Let them in, and see if they have what it takes to handle this incident."

The voice was initially surprised, but by the end, it took on a slightly mocking tone, as if it had found something valuable.

"Please come in."

After the routine report and absolving themselves of responsibility, the two guards surely wouldn't stop them.

The Inner City security team was indeed stronger than those of the outer city, but a mission was a mission. There was no need to offend someone personally over job-related duties.

"The situation doesn't look good. I have a record of that voice; it's Serke, the chief of the Inner City security team."

Upon entering, Wang Goudan quickly whispered to Tao Yu.

"Oh, is that the guy who took over after the captain was killed by that madman, Assassin?"

Tao Yu had some recollection; the person on top of the bounty list valued at a million, the one who killed the former security team captain, that one who later took over.

"That's old news. He has been sitting in that position for many years now. He's well-entrenched and even has a say in the council chamber. Although he doesn't have a family, he married into the Gan family. His influence is significant, and his strength is not weak among senior partners," Wang Goudan quickly shared some information he knew, to which Tao Yu nodded.

So he's essentially a vassal of the Gan family, which explained why he could secure such a position.

"Why do you say it's troublesome? You think he won't give me face? I've fought Gan Te, but he probably wouldn't go so far as to let the Gan family target me, would he?"

Tao Yu had some impressions of Gan Te; although he was the buyer of the Titan spinal fluid, he wasn't irrational.

"Er, probably not. I mean Serke himself. Since taking a firm hold of the captain position, his reputation has been terrible, greedy, and likes to squeeze every dime. There might not have been much of an issue originally, but seeing a rising star like you entering the fray, he might just want to seize the opportunity to press you."

Wang Goudan's words also made Tao Yu feel a bit strange,

"Really? He's that greedy? Isn't he afraid of offending me?"

"Seems like he has decent talent and probably wants to accumulate resources since he can't expect too much support from the Gan family."

Wang Goudan himself was accumulating resources to make his final breakthrough and surpass his limits, so he could easily understand this.

He then added in a softer tone,

"But it might just be about exaggerating some trouble, then later acting as if he's doing you a real favor by letting it go. Directly offending you might not be his intent, after all, he has held his position securely for so long, he knows what he's doing."

"Tch, got it."

It had to be said, Wang Goudan was indeed a master of small tasks, with an abundance of information.

But Tao Yu didn't really care about such matters. Wanting to sell him a real favor to then find an opportunity to make him return the favor?

Such troublesome matters were still less straightforward than just giving money.

But giving money...

Why should I give money? Uncle Hu did nothing wrong.

Tao Yu pondered for a moment, but it wasn't a big issue.

It was not good for him to appear too close to the little rich lady.

But aside from the credit he had with the Scripture Depository, there was the Sword Canon of Mercy he brought this time, ambushing the Fortune Thief, and a series of other merits. Coupled with the strength he could show, he had more than enough to handle this situation.

As long as he didn't kill the Inner City captain on the spot, there wouldn't be much trouble.

Even if he accidentally killed him, at most he'd bleed a little and endure some public scolding. Being taken back by the little rich lady and punished would about sum it up.

Owe you a favor?

If it were someone like Ze Chuan, more tactful and not actively seeking repayment, I might actually acknowledge it and give a hand whenever convenient.

If you really insist on forcing a debt on me, then we'll see how tough your bones are...

As Tao Yu walked deeper into the premises, he noticed all the guards had been switched to Inner City security personnel, leaving the outer city ones possibly sent over to finish up at the scene.

Following the cobblestone pathway to the office that used to be Ze Chuan's, the guards outside didn't stop them either.

As they pushed open the door and entered, they saw several people already inside.

Tao Hu caught sight of Tao Yu coming in, his expression changing slightly. Then he made a little gesture with his eyes and shook his head, although it was unclear exactly what he meant to convey.
