"You bastard!"
Tie Niu was enraged.
He charged forward once more, his punches packed even more power, and most importantly, his movements were less varied.
In his fury, he indeed unleashed even more astonishing strength, but his attack patterns became simpler.
"Your punches lack power, your steps are unsteady, not a single move is decent, and you think you can take me down?"
"Keep dreaming!"
Jiang Wang once again found an opening in Tie Niu's defense, unleashing a torrent of Holy Light that taught him a lesson.
"Bastard, you bastard!"
Tie Niu became even angrier, so much so that he completely missed the faint smile creeping onto Jiang Wang's lips.
When he smiled during a fight, it was never a good sign.
And he had been smiling non-stop, so the poor Tie Niu was about to face some serious misfortune.
"Wait, my body, why is it… out of control…"
Tie Niu's eyes widened as his footwork faltered, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"Are all the Bureau's officers this useless?"
Jiang Wang said, raising his foot to step on Tie Niu's head.
"There are other officers, right? Come and make your move. Weren't you going to avenge Swift Rabbit?"
He sneered, applying a bit more pressure with his foot, directly pushing Tie Niu's head into the ground.
"The Bureau really made the wrong decision. I didn't want to argue with you about Swift Rabbit."
"But you insisted on provoking me. What, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on Hua Mei not far away.
This woman held a paintbrush in her hand, with a paper wolf standing beside her.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was the good partner Paper Wolf had mentioned before, codenamed 'Hua Mei'.
"I don't want to fight you. Tie Niu brought this on himself."
Hua Mei said, offering a restrained smile.
"Shouldn't we be focusing our efforts on the impending Abyss crisis?"
She said, intending to quickly end this farce.
At the same time, she was mentally cursing Tie Niu, the bastard.
"Too late. I'm really sick of you investigators."
"You think I'm weak, so you rush up to kill me. When you can't kill me, you say we should focus on the present?"
"I bet if I were suppressed by Tie Niu and about to be beaten to death, you would have launched a sneak attack on me, right?"
Jiang Wang sneered, releasing a chilling killing intent towards Hua Mei.
"Forget it, for Paper Wolf's sake, I won't kill you, but this Tie Niu…"
Jiang Wang withdrew his killing intent, suddenly revealing a warm smile as Holy Light began to manifest its boundless power beneath his feet.
"Say goodbye to your colleague."
Jiang Wang exerted force with his foot, preparing to crush Tie Niu's head.
"Don't! Paper Wolf, quickly plead for me! You know him, don't you? Please, don't kill me!"
Tie Niu began to wail.
Chapter 609: Background
Faced with Tie Niu's agonizing cries, Jiang Wang mercilessly increased the pressure, preparing to directly crush him to death.
He was well aware that if he let this guy go, he would definitely take various measures against him later.
Tie Niu was an officer of the Bureau, after all. It was one thing to be powerful himself, but he also wielded authority.
He himself might not be Jiang Wang's opponent, but if he used his power to smear Jiang Wang with a little embellishment,
Jiang Wang would easily have to face the pursuit of a large group of despicable enemies.
Of course, killing him would actually lead to the same result.
Killing two directors of the Bureau in a row would undoubtedly make him a key target of the Bureau.
Either way, it was going to be troublesome, so he might as well be decisive and just get rid of this annoying trash.
"Damn it, you trash bastard from a backwater world, how dare you treat me like this? Do you know who I am?"
"If you kill me, you won't have it easy either. Those people behind me will never let you go!"
"My master is a Void Shattering Fifth Layer expert. He will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
Seeing that his desperate pleas were ineffective, Tie Niu immediately began to threaten him.
He had good talent and was very perceptive. After joining the Bureau, he was immediately appreciated by a big shot.
Tie Niu, of course, prostrated himself and offered his knees, directly becoming the other party's disciple.
The other party's Void Shattering Fifth Layer strength was already a very powerful existence within these ninety million worlds.
And this "master" could be considered to have formed his own faction within the Bureau, creating a group.
The members within this group, of course, supported each other.
One of the main reasons why Tie Niu was so eager to attack Jiang Wang was that Swift Rabbit was also within this group.
Swift Rabbit himself owed the group leader a lot of resources. After all, it wasn't easy to cultivate an expert like him.
You had to find suitable secret techniques, train step by step, and use a large number of items to accelerate his strengthening.
Time, resources, opportunities… all kinds of things were indispensable.
Once you cultivated someone, you definitely had to squeeze them dry. No matter how much they owed, they had to repay it double.
After Swift Rabbit died, the total amount of resources the younger members of the group offered each year naturally decreased.
But the boss's resource targets were set and wouldn't decrease just because there were fewer people.
Since Swift Rabbit couldn't contribute, his share naturally fell on the others, and they had to make up for it.
This was a very troublesome thing. The average share was already difficult to complete.
With one person dead, they had to get even more resources, which was really too difficult.
The reason why Swift Rabbit was so obsessed with the "source of the world" was actually to complete this so-called "resource offering."
Tie Niu was reluctant to come to this world to support it because there was no profit to be made.
The day for resource offering was fast approaching, so how could he waste time here doing things?
Increasing the share was actually not a big deal, but resource offering also emphasized internal competition.
What if others exceeded their share and completed the resource offering, while he could only complete the minimum standard?
Then the group leader, that is, the "master," would definitely think highly of those who competed internally.
Whether it was a promotion or an opportunity, it would all be given to those who contributed the most.
If it was always the minimum share, he would even be disliked, neglected, and eventually fall to the bottom.
The reason why Swift Rabbit and Tie Niu were greedy and hateful was all because of the "master" within the Bureau.
Now, Tie Niu, on the verge of death, directly brought out the big shot behind him.
"His master? Is he very powerful?"
Jiang Wang's gaze landed on Paper Wolf and Hua Mei, revealing a puzzled expression.
He didn't expect this guy to actually have a big background. Could it be that after killing him, very troublesome things would happen?
"Yes, his master is the leader of a group within the Bureau, and his strength is at the Void Shattering Fifth Layer."
Hua Mei said, glancing at Tie Niu with a look of disdain.
She had no group background and was able to be promoted to officer based on pure strength.
The most important thing was that this strength was something she had built up bit by bit, without relying on anyone.
Within the Bureau, various groups emerged one after another. It was originally a good thing for the strong to lead the weak.
But more people were just flattering and being dogs for the big shots.
As long as the dogs barked nicely and were loyal, they would definitely be able to stand out.
So, the more the situation evolved, the worse it became.
Everyone was licking the boots of those powerful people, offering a large number of resources and doing their best to please these big shots.
Compared to cultivation, bootlicking the big shots had become a shortcut to quickly upgrade and become stronger.
Therefore, the current Bureau was simply a pile of crap.
Nearly eighty percent of the people were hoping that those big shots would take good care of them.
Where did the resources they offered come from? Of course, they were extorted from all over the world.
When a world encountered a crisis, the investigators who went to help didn't think about accelerating the resolution of the crisis as their first reaction.
Instead, they directly demanded a large number of rare resources from the world before they would take action.
Things like this happened frequently.
Having seen too much, Hua Mei's heart had completely closed off.
Of course, she didn't take the group route, nor would she collude with those guys.
If she didn't have seniors to support her, her future achievements would probably stop there.
She had seen through everything and was completely disappointed with the Bureau. Now, when she talked about those groups, she naturally became resentful.
