A Top Scholar in Everything

A five-meter-long fierce tiger was punched to pieces, its headless corpse rolling several meters on the ground before stopping.

The crowd's expressions were complex.

There was surprise, curiosity, scrutiny, but mostly schadenfreude, expressions waiting for a show.

"Thank you."

At this moment, the man who had just jumped off the ring looked grateful, raising his head to Baiyu and Meng Siyu.

"Is your injury okay?"

Meng Siyu glanced around, her eyes involuntarily cold.

After all, she was still a student.

Witnessing this life-risking entertainment for amusement, an instinctive disgust arose in her heart.

"I'm fine, thanks to you intervening, I was able to survive."

The man exhaled deeply, approaching Baiyu.

But just as he took a step.

A blood hole suddenly exploded in his chest, his body flying away like a rag.

Rumbling.

Blood quickly seeped from under his corpse.

White smoke rose from Baiyu's Shark's Kiss Gun, his gaze not on the corpse but on a hooded figure by the ring.

He fired at the same time, the other had already acted first to kill the man.

Baiyu shot.

Because the man had just pulled out a dagger, assuming an attack posture.

The opponent clearly intended to attack him and Meng Siyu, but couldn't act in time, getting killed by the person on the other side of the ring.

As for why the man wanted to attack them.

According to the rules of such underground rings, the man was bound to die later anyway, so why not fight, attacking Baiyu who disrupted the ring, pleasing the ringmaster.

"That's it for today, everyone come back tomorrow."

At this time, the hooded man spoke with a hoarse voice.

The hundred or so spectators around murmured, looking slightly pitying at Baiyu, then left door after wave.

Soon.

The whole underground ring.

Only the hooded man and over thirty fierce-looking thugs remained.

Among them were quite a few Tier Nine Martial Artists.

"Brother, causing a scene without a word, do you know whose territory this is? If you can't give a satisfactory reason, you'll be buried with my pet."

The man pulled down his hood, revealing a scarred face, his gaze vicious.

Baiyu took out an investigation certificate from his pocket, speaking calmly: "Kang Chu, right? You're a smart man, this is my Bounty Hunter license."

"Hmm?"

The man's brow furrowed, catching the booklet Baiyu threw from the air, his expression slightly grim.

An A Level Hunter.

This is not someone to be easily trifled with.

"The Bounty Hunter Association released a task regarding the missing persons case in the Water Storage District. If the investigation continues, whose head do you think it will come to?"

Baiyu looked at him with a wry smile.

From the moment the man appeared, he'd naturally recognized the man's identity.

A Bounty Hunter's status is unique.

Kang Chu, as long as he's sensible, won't attack him.

"You can investigate as you wish, I'm just a mere ordinary person, facing the tasks of the Bounty Hunter Association, I will cooperate fully."

Kang Chu said coldly.

Baiyu replied: "Celestial Whale Gang's Sub-Branch Master, overseeing the business of the Water Storage District for the Celestial Whale Gang, is this an ordinary person?"

Kang Chu stopped his attempt to leave, furrowing his brows.

The opponent was using his background against him, showing he understood him and, moreover, was completely unafraid of the Celestial Whale Gang.

This is Zenith City's largest gang.

Mighty, almost controlling the entire underground Dynasty of Zenith City.

Having even more powerful backers behind it.

"Let's talk then, since you come looking for me like this, I take it you're not just here for this task."

Kang Chu waved his hand.

All the surrounding thugs withdrew.

With Baiyu indicating, Meng Siyu left the ring somewhat confused.

Leaving only the two of them.

Baiyu didn't want to drag this out, straightforwardly taking out Sioman's wanted poster: "I need to find an Imperial fugitive, according to my sources, he's in the Water Storage District.

It's a task given by my Master.

What you need to do is help me within the Water Storage District, making sure the fugitive doesn't escape.

As for the combat aspect, I'll handle it myself."

Kang Chu frowned, taking the photo.

The person depicted was unfamiliar.

But.

After revealing his identity, he had no choice but to help even if he didn't want to.

A Master from Celestial South Martial Arts University is someone he definitely can't offend. Plus, helping with this favors him without any loss.

Kang Chu quietly asked: "Have you confirmed his location already?"

Baiyu replied: "I have a way to find his exact location, but I need your people to block the surroundings. Remember, use competent people, he mustn't escape. Also, don't allow anyone else to interfere with me."

"Okay, but about the task released by the Bounty Hunter Association..."

"Just find a scapegoat, isn't this how you always handle things? I'm not interested in getting involved in your local power struggle."

Baiyu had long guessed about this missing person case.

The missing were mostly unemployed, with many having criminal records, it's highly probable they died in underground fights.

This matter can be cleared up by asking the local underworld leader.

"Then it's settled, when do you plan to act?"

"Tonight."

...

Baiyu generally dislikes prolonging matters beyond necessity.

With Kang Chu's help, he gained the convenience of moving freely in Rat Street, which was even more effective than a search warrant issued by the police.

So far.

Both the underground forces in the Water Storage District and its official forces have been settled by Baiyu.

Now is the time to peacefully complete Master Yi Xian's task.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Finally, student Xiao Meng reacted.

The purpose of Baiyu's trip wasn't to complete the Bounty Hunter Association's task.

Baiyu pointed to the side: "Master assigned me a small task, I must complete it. As for the Hunter Association's task, there, the two tied up are the culprits of the missing person case, you can take them to report."

Feeling exasperated, Meng Siyu's small chest heaved, arms crossed: "Those two are clearly scapegoats. Humph, I want to see exactly what you're going to do."

"Suit yourself."

After responding, Baiyu no longer paid her attention, taking a pocket watch from his pocket, grasping it.

The hand trembled momentarily, finally stopping to point north.

"North."

He took the lead, heading north.

Kang Chu's men followed closely behind.

For this operation, Baiyu prepared a perimeter surrounding the target, intending to deal with the target himself.

Thus choosing to set off at night.

This way, it's less likely to alert the target, greatly increasing the chance of success.

Along the way.

Everyone kept a low profile, causing no significant disturbance.

Baiyu used the Dream Pocket Watch, constantly changing direction, finally pinpointing the whereabouts of the target Sioman by 11 PM.

It was an old apartment building.

After eleven, the lights were out.

No matter which direction Baiyu faced in the apartment building, no matter where he was headed, the Dream Pocket Watch hand steadfastly pointed towards the apartment building.

Standing outside the apartment building, Baiyu whispered: "Surround it, guard every gap, make sure no one escapes."

Kang Chu nodded, immediately instructing: "Everyone form teams, keep alert, act immediately."
