The information distributed in the conference room to each person was actually gathered by Consul General Fu from questioning Yang Qingshu, Xiaoshuai, the bespectacled man, and the bearded middle-aged man.

Although this information might not be a hundred percent true, it was sufficient for everyone to understand the series of events behind the "Talan Monster."

After reading through this information, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"This... how is this possible?"

"There’s actually a second statue?"

"I never expected that besides the statue in Group Leader Tie’s hands, there would actually be a second one!"

"Since this second statue came from Koukang’s Feng Shun, it must also have been left behind by the girl in the red dress."

"After Group Leader Tie obtained that statue, he gained the power to control blood. According to the information, this second statue might control corpses!"

"That girl in the red dress, who calls herself ’Blood Spirit,’ indeed controls corpses; I can vouch for that!"

"If we get this statue and are acknowledged by the girl in the red dress, can we also possess extraordinary power like Group Leader Tie?"

"I must admit, I’m a bit tempted!"

"Should we reconsider sending someone to Sheng Mei?"

"For the sake of this second statue, it’s worth sending someone there!"

"I also suggest that Group Leader Tie should go. We can’t let this second statue end up in the hands of the people from Eagle Country."

"Absolutely, we can’t let the statue fall into the hands of those Westerners."

"Group Leader Tie, we need you to lead a team to Sheng Mei!"

The people around the conference table were discussing animatedly.

Earlier, everyone was against sending someone to Sheng Mei.

After all, the authorities of Talan hadn’t even sought their assistance. Sending someone proactively seemed a bit awkward.

But now, it’s different!

Upon learning that the power of the Talan Monster came from another statue, everyone was eager to send someone to Sheng Mei.

If they could obtain the second statue, the Religious Affairs Bureau might have an additional extraordinary ability user.

The allure was irresistible for them.

Qi Tai listened to everyone’s opinions while stroking his freshly shaved chin, then pursed his lips.

Just now, these guys were so adamant in their opposition.

But now?

Each of them was eager to fly directly to Sheng Mei!

"Quiet down!"

Director He gently knocked on the table, finally bringing some silence to the noisy conference room.

Then, his gaze shifted to Tie Xiong.

He smiled and said, "Group Leader Tie, are you willing to go to Talan?"

"No problem!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xiong nodded slightly and said, "Since the country needs me, I will dutifully oblige!"

He actually also wanted to fly to Sheng Mei to check on this second statue.

Honestly, he hadn’t expected there to be a second Evil Ghost statue in the world.

Since there’s a second one, could there be a third, a fourth?

Seeing Tie Xiong nodding, Director He looked satisfied.

He very much appreciated people like Tie Xiong.

Talented, yet very humble.

More importantly, Group Leader Tie was truly dutiful, never complaining.

"Since Group Leader Tie agreed, this task will be assigned to your Special Operations Team."

"I will personally call the embassy and consulate general in Talan. At critical moments, they must coordinate with our Religious Affairs Bureau!"

Director He knew the significance of the second Evil Ghost statue.

Therefore, the embassy and consulate in Talan had to cooperate with Tie Xiong and his team no matter what.

"Understood, Director He!"

Tie Xiong nodded emphatically.

The target this time was the second Evil Ghost statue!

After the meeting, Tie Xiong immediately returned to his Special Operations Office.

After all this time, the Special Operations Team was no longer an amateur setup.

With Director He’s assistance, the current Special Operations Team, including Tie Xiong, now consisted of six members.

Besides Tie Shanshan and Li Xun, three more people had joined recently.

These three were retired military elites, proficient in various martial arts and firearms.

Even though Tie Xiong possessed extraordinary abilities, sometimes it wasn’t appropriate to use such powers directly.

At such times, these three retired military elites came in handy.

"Get ready, we have a new mission!"

Upon entering the Special Operations Office, Tie Xiong scanned the room and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Tie, are we going to Sheng Mei?"

Li Xun asked curiously.

"Yes, we’re going to Sheng Mei!"

Tie Xiong nodded and continued, "We need to hurry!"

"In three minutes, we’ll head downstairs and drive to the airport..."

"Yes, Director Tie!"

The newly arrived three retired military elites responded in unison.

After gathering the necessary items, the six of them drove to the airport and then took a private plane to Sheng Mei.

"This is the information Director He just obtained. Take a look!"

Tie Xiong handed the material about the "Talan Monster" to his daughter.

Tie Shanshan then distributed the information among Li Xun and the others.

"Hiss..."

Upon seeing that the fearsome "Talan Monster" was driven by another Evil Ghost statue, Li Xun and the others gasped.

They hadn’t expected that besides the statue in Tie Xiong’s hands, there was another one in this world!

"Director Tie, is our mission this time to obtain the second statue?"

Feng Kan, one of the three newly arrived retired military elites with a slightly elongated face, asked.

"Exactly!"

Tie Xiong nodded slightly, "This time, our best outcome is to acquire that statue."

"If we can’t obtain it, we must prevent it from falling into the hands of Eagle Country, Ox Country, and other Western nations."

"Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is to ensure our safety."

"If any critical situations arise, our safety must take priority..."

"Understood!"

Feng Kan nodded with a smile after listening.

The other two retired military elites were the burly Yu Chen and the scar-faced Sun Cong.

They both nodded in agreement as well.

"I didn’t expect so many things lurking behind the ’Talan Monster’!"

After reading the information, Li Xun exclaimed.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect there to be a second statue."

"Before I left Minma, there wasn’t the slightest hint of this!"

Tie Xiong shook his head, also feeling a sense of wonder.

Even back in Minma, he had heard the name Feng Shun.

But he didn’t expect that Feng Shun, just like him, had obtained an Evil Ghost statue.

Back then, to save his daughter, he made a blood contract with the girl in the red dress and obtained extraordinary abilities.

But Feng Shun resisted the urge to become an extraordinary human and hid the Evil Ghost statue.

Unfortunately, nothing can remain hidden forever...
