In the Breeder Association, inside Liu Fuhai's office.

Several figures were seated there, two of them wearing expressions of impatience.

"Breeder Mu Hang, is this how your Jianghai Breeder Association treats its guests?" the blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man asked, somewhat displeased.

They had been waiting here for nearly an hour. Liu Fuhai had sounded so accommodating over the phone, yet he still hadn't returned.

Mu Hang glanced at the man. Of the three people present, Mu Yu was his father. Even if he didn't agree with some of his father's practices, he couldn't say much. Chris was a disciple his father had accepted from across the ocean, and he always respectfully addressed Mu Hang as "Senior Brother." Naturally, Mu Hang couldn't be too harsh with him either. As for this fellow, he was merely one of the envoys stationed at the Eagle Country's embassy in the Dragon Nation. What right did he have to complain?

Therefore, Mu Hang shot him a glance and said, "Mr. Harman, if you're impatient, you can leave first."

Harman stiffened, choked by the response. He could only glance at Mu Yu, whose expression remained calm, but he didn't say anything further.

On the other hand, Chris also said unhappily, "Teacher, what is Master Liu doing?"

Mu Yu replied indifferently, "He said it was about Breeder Su Ping, whom he had just met. It's probably related to Pet Beast breeding, right?"

Harman snorted derisively. "It can't be about that Paperman, can it?"

Mu Hang glanced at these people. Damn, they actually hit the nail on the head, he thought.

The others might not know, but Mu Hang actually knew quite a bit about Su Ping. His main source of information was Sun Chaoju, that big mouth. Regarding Su Ping's Paperman cultivation, the subsequent Wanmu Wolf, and the rumor that Su Ping had actually formed a contract with a mutated Paperman as a Pet Beast—details unknown to others—Mu Hang had indeed heard whispers of these things.

Therefore, even though Mu Hang knew what the Paperman meant to his father, he still said, "Not all Papermen are the same. Su Ping's mutated Paperman has potential!"

Hmm?

At this remark, even Mu Yu looked at Mu Hang with suspicion. "A mutated Paperman? What, that Su Family boy actually has a mutated one?"

Mu Hang nodded.

Although he was the son of a Senior Necromancy Breeder, his chosen path was different from his father's, and he didn't know much about Undead Pet Beasts. However, Mu Yu had faced such significant setbacks because of Papermen in the past that his understanding of them was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. When research into ordinary Papermen yielded no progress, Mu Hang had turned his attention to mutated Papermen. However, after all these years, he had only encountered a few. Even when such specimens were found, research into their mutation directions hadn't proven very significant.

Compared to Mu Yu's son, Mu Hang, Chris undoubtedly understood his teacher's thoughts better. He said directly, "A mutated Paperman? For such precious experimental material to be in the hands of a mere Dragon Nation citizen is too much of a waste, isn't it? Senior Brother Mu Hang, could you discuss a price with that Su Ping and see if we can buy it?"

Mu Hang frowned. What he hated most was their attitude towards Pet Beasts.

"Su Ping's mutated Paperman is his Contracted Beast. It's not for sale!"

"This..." Chris glanced at Mu Yu beside him.

As expected, even Mu Yu was quite intrigued. "Little Hang, could you talk to Breeder Su and see if I can join the research for a bit? Perhaps I can help it complete its Evolution. Hehe, I won't even charge him a fee for the cultivation and Evolution..."

Mu Yu was truly interested. After all these years, the Paperman had always been his obsession. He had been imprisoned by the Dragon Nation years ago due to a Paperman Evolution experiment, and only then had he seized the opportunity to join the Eagle Country. Even after arriving across the ocean, he never gave up his research on Papermen. However, he always lacked a clear direction.

So, he had a further thought. Could I perhaps find a new path by studying mutated Papermen, and then apply those findings back to ordinary Papermen?

He had never expected to make such a discovery upon returning to Jianghai this time.

However, before Mu Hang could answer, laughter came from outside the door. "Hehe, Mu Yu, still can't let go of your Paperman research, can you!"

The office door was pushed open, and Liu Fuhai entered, followed by Su Ping. The speaker was none other than Liu Fuhai.

Mu Yu stood up and chuckled, "You old rascal! I come all this way back, and you make me wait this long!"

"Haha, well, something came up. Su Ping's mutated Paperman completed its Evolution, and he had me go take a look with him..." Liu Fuhai patted Su Ping beside him, and they sat down on the sofa together.

Su Ping's gaze swept across all those present. He was already familiar with Mu Hang, so no need for introductions there. As for the others, Senior Breeder Mu Yu had a gaunt face and pale complexion, perfectly fitting Su Ping's stereotype of a Necromancy Breeder. As for the other two, the blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasians, he swept his gaze over them once and couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

However, almost as soon as Liu Fuhai's words faded, the entire office fell deathly silent.

Even Mu Yu, the smile still on his face, was visibly stunned.
