Chapter 707 Deng Yuanbo’s Purpose

Deng Yuanbo's words sounded like he was lobbying Zhu Zheng.

But Zhang Yi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he said: "I'm used to being free and I don't like people to control me. Once I become the captain, will I have to do whatever the superiors ask me to do in the future?"

Deng Yuanbo smiled, "But even if you are in Tianhai City, can you not obey the orders of Blizzard City?"

Zhang Yi smiled meaningfully: "At least there is room for flexibility."

It's obvious that you can't refuse, but isn't it okay to just ignore it in secret?

It is impossible for Blizzard City to adopt high-pressure management of all Jiangnan Thirteen Taibao, at least it will not force them to do things.

Otherwise, the entire area will collapse.

Deng Yuanbo raised his eyebrows, "Young people today are all like you! They don't seek fame or profit, as long as they lie on their own. I don't even want to give you a chance to be a leader."

He sighed: "Hey, times have indeed changed!"

Zhang Yi smiled.

"Indeed, it is different from your time. So please understand my choice!"

Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"I don't care about this. Let's put it this way, you can be the temporary captain, so you can accept it, right?"

"Temporary captain?"

Zhang Yi read these four words again, with a leisurely expression and did not continue to say anything.

Isn't that the person who leads the team temporarily and takes responsibility?

What are the benefits after the mission is over?

Deng Yuanbo came over and smiled at him: "Letting you be the captain is the result of many people's discussion."

"Everyone appreciates your undisciplined character without seeking fame or fortune."

"Don't worry, as long as you do this, it won't be in vain. I will make an offer you can't refuse!"

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

Deng Yuanbo said leisurely: "You strangers from the outer city have no concept of supernatural powers. To move forward step by step, apart from relying on talent, you can only explore slowly like a blind man groping an elephant."

"This will make you take many detours and even waste your talents."

"And our Deng Group has been researching supernatural powers for more than 50 years!"

Zhang Yi's eyes flashed: "Half a century of history? Could it be that mutants have existed for a long time?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "Mutation itself is an inevitable thing in the process of biological evolution."

"Judging from the huge population base of mankind, mutants have appeared in every era. It's just that now, it is an era of large-scale mutation, and they are widely known."

"Of course, the purpose of studying mutants in the past was to develop drugs and for military use. To be honest, this research has made our Deng Group make a lot of money."

He looked at Zhang Yi with a smile, "We have a mature team that can help you and your companions improve your strength and develop your potential! And provide the best training."

"You are indeed very strong now, but you still have a lot of room for improvement. Not to mention the partners around you."

"Now, it's hard for them to keep up with you, isn't it?"

Zhang Yi had no way to refute these words.

The talent gap makes the strength gap within their team more and more obvious.

However, Zhang Yi was still unwilling to believe Deng Yuanbo easily.

"I don't understand, why do you want to help me?"

"To put it bluntly, if you want me to become a thug of the Deng family and obey your orders, then I can't do it."

Who knew that after Deng Yuanbo heard this sentence, he raised his neck and laughed.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Of course I wouldn't have such an idea. Even Zhu Zhengyong's position as investigation captain can't attract you. I won't think that the Deng family can offer higher conditions."

Zhang Yi didn’t understand even more.

"Then, what's the benefit of this matter to you, so that you want to help me like this?"

The smile on Deng Yuanbo's face slowly faded.

He didn't know what he thought of, and fell into silence. Then he slowly turned his back and looked at the falling snow in the courtyard.

Zhang Yi waited for his reply.

After a full minute, Zhang Yi's patience was almost exhausted, and Deng Yuanbo said in a deep voice:

"I help you to avenge my nephew."

Zhang Yi immediately thought of Deng Shentong, that strange man who was handsome and confident even though he didn't interact much with him.

Deng Shentong's death was unexpected by Zhang Yi.

As the head of the Deng family, Deng Yuanbo could not accept this cruel fact.

"Revenge? You don't need to tell me this, I will kill all the people who eclipse the moon."

Zhang Yi said slowly.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"The person who killed my nephew, Eclipse Moon, can only be regarded as a knife. And the real culprit must be in Blizzard City!"

Zhang Yi was shocked.

Although he had doubts about this matter, but from the mouth of Deng Yuanbo, the big boss, it became more likely.

"People from Blizzard City killed Deng Shentong? This..."

Zhang Yi didn't know how to evaluate it. The matter itself had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle in Blizzard City.

Deng Yuanbo's eyes were filled with gloom.

"My nephew has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child. After the end of the world, with the full cultivation of our Deng family, he became one of the strongest strangers in the Jiangnan region!"

"His future has unlimited hope and he can become the most brilliant figure of this era."

"But it's inevitable that some will be jealous of him."

Deng Yuanbo turned around and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Someone borrowed Eclipse's knife and killed him!"

Zhang Yi frowned slightly: "If you know who did it, then why don't you go to Zhu Shuai? With the power of the Deng family, even if the other party is an expert at the level of investigation captain, they can erase it, right?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "I still don't know who did it. However, I can determine the scope."

"Whoever is most beneficial to the death of the supernatural power is the biggest suspect."

Deng Yuanbo did not mention anyone by name.

But Zhang Yi was deeply shocked by his words.

Not going to Zhu Zheng means that he might not even be able to trust Zhu Zheng.

After all, Zhu Zheng might have eliminated the outstanding Deng Shentong in order to consolidate his power.

Not to mention the other forces in Blizzard City.

Tu Yunlie, the Samsara Team, or other Blizzard City factions may be the masterminds of this operation.

Zhang Yi felt the complexity, so he said to Deng Yuanbo:

"I don't want to get involved. Even if the conditions you offer sound tempting, if we get involved in the storm of power struggle, I and the people around me will probably die without a burial place!"

If the mastermind behind it is really Zhu Zheng, what can he use to fight against him?
