I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"So you just agreed to his conditions like that?" a well-dressed middle-aged man asked.

Shadow raised his head to look at the three "magnificent" holographic projections in front of him, then glanced sideways at Nie Chengyu, who was standing leisurely beside him, looking as if he wasn't being questioned at all.

He stared at the middle-aged politician who asked the question and replied:

"It wasn't me, it was us who agreed to Mann's conditions after joint consultation, and I think it was a very correct decision. There couldn't have been a better choice in that situation."

The middle-aged politician replied:

"I'm not blaming you. You're an expert in the federal abnormal domain. If you agree to his conditions, it means it's the right thing to do in the abnormal domain. We need your professional opinion.

"This matter is very important."

Although he said it with great seriousness, Shadow knew that the other party deliberately used only "you". These stupid politicians had too many petty thoughts, and they liked to use this kind of projection when meeting with him.

These details were deeply buried in their bones, but fortunately, he didn't care about them at all. However, the reason why the other party was so unscrupulous was probably because he didn't care about them.

But Shadow didn't care because he didn't take them seriously, and they had simply forgotten.

They had all forgotten what the world was like before the Federation existed.

"That's right, Nie Chengyu and I both agree that this is the only choice," Shadow replied. "Mann's helper is a very dangerous telepath. Although I didn't directly feel an evenly matched or huge mind, if she was really weaker than me, I should have been able to feel it.

"Moreover, we haven't heard of this telepath in the past, which is the most important thing. If the other party is a friend Mann temporarily found, I shouldn't be completely unaware of her.

"I have lived in the mental realm for many years, but I have never heard of this person. Therefore, I immediately realized that this ability user and Mann had done the same thing, hiding their existence.

"Just like the name they claim, 'Secret Alliance', the members of this organization seem to be lurking beneath the surface. If we hadn't accidentally found their member Mann with the help of others, I'm afraid we still wouldn't know of this organization's existence. I even suspect that guy's purpose is related to this organization.

"By the way, we don't know about this organization, do we?"

Faced with his question, the middle-aged politician shook his head:

"We know some secret organizations exist, and we can't rule out that this is them, but their style of doing things doesn't match this suddenly appearing Secret Alliance, and they even claim not to fear the Federation…

"Do you think that's the truth?"

Shadow replied:

"If we analyze it from a logical point of view, I don't think what she said is necessarily true. After all, considering the situation at the time, she and Mann had the motivation to bluff, but…

"I personally think what she said is true."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have backed down so quickly at the time.

The middle-aged politician asked:

"Why?"

Shadow replied:

"Feeling, whether it's her or Mann, I haven't been able to detect any fear. From the time he joined the Federation until now, Mann has never shown fear or, rather, awe towards us.

"The fact that he himself is a Tier V ability user seems to explain this, but we all know that even Tier V ability users can't be so devoid of awe when facing the Federation.

"He's not facing any opponents of the same level, but several of the best of the same level. These top experts, combined with this organization, can even defeat someone like Shenxiao. He can't be arrogant enough to think that he's stronger than Shenxiao, so he should be worried and afraid of us.

"But he doesn't have any, as if he doesn't think he could be in danger because of the Federation. Moreover, such a Tier V ability user might be more cautious when helping Shenxiao, but he doesn't seem to have thought that he might lose his life because of this matter, so I think he has confidence.

"His confidence is this mysterious organization that doesn't fear the Federation. From the beginning, he got involved in our affairs with an attitude of indifference, which is why I think that as long as we sign the contract, he will no longer be a problem for the Federation, and it's impossible for him to help Shenxiao.

"Because even if he still has such thoughts, he will be stopped by the organization behind him. This can be regarded as half good news for us. As for the trouble brought by this mysterious organization…

"We have a lot of such troubles."

The middle-aged politician nodded slightly:

"That's good, and his contract also mentioned that he would no longer help Shenxiao, and he also promised that he was not Shenxiao's subordinate, just casually helping. Can you be sure that this is true?"

Shadow nodded:

"That's right, in fact, whether it was me or Xiao Nie, we both thought he was pretending at first, but we realized it was the truth after his superior appeared, so he's no longer our problem."

He had already solved this problem—that's what Shadow wanted to say, and it was actually the truth. After all, even if they didn't do anything to Mann now, they wouldn't lose face for the Federation.

It wasn't that they couldn't deal with a Tier V ability user, but that they didn't want to be enemies with an entire secret organization.

The middle-aged politician nodded:

"Secretly leak the existence of this organization slowly. Remember to do it cleanly. Although we all know who said it, we still have to save face.

"Finally, what about the remaining matters in the contract? How have you handled it?"

Shadow said:

"The mastermind behind the scenes is the most dangerous character in this matter. He silently made us and Mann fight each other. Although he also borrowed our power, this is definitely not simple.

"So I handled it according to the standard procedure. We did find something. Most of his contact with us didn't leave any traces, and he only appeared in person when he met Tang Xueluan.

"Now we have found that his disguise is a demon, but we haven't found out what his true identity is under this disguise. It would be very dangerous to continue investigating.

"So the investigation process ends here."

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction:

"That's right, we must proceed according to the 'standard procedure'. It's enough to find this out.

"He should be Mann's and the Secret Alliance's problem, not our Federation's."

An important reason why the Federation can stand tall is that they never interfere in the affairs of other organizations unless necessary. The fact that they can control the world today may prove that they are the strongest organization.

But this doesn't mean that they can compete with the entire world. Watching from the sidelines is their normal state.

In other words, whether it's Mann, the Secret Alliance, or the mastermind behind the scenes…

They have nothing to do with them.
