Chapter 36 The Kallari Sect <TOC> Chapter 38 Monster

The training ground was paved with expensive teak flooring, and those who could practice inside were all well-established practitioners.
They swung their heavy kettlebells and performed various movements, using the kettlebell’s heavy center of gravity to train their body’s balance and joint stability.
This form of exercise allows them to maintain their balance in battle.
Li Mu observed their stance and found that it was very different from the White Night Soft Howl Weapon Strike Technique. It should be that Kallari had made modifications based on the style’s characteristics.
The three of them were led into a tea room, the floor of which was covered with a patterned wool carpet and a small table.
“I am Kallari’s third disciple, Karli, and I am now responsible for the daily affairs of the Kallari style.”
Karli sat cross-legged on the carpet and poured a cup of red tea for Li Mu using a pure silver teapot.
In the post-apocalyptic world where food was much more expensive than before, the price of tea naturally skyrocketed. High-quality red tea had reached an exaggerated price of twenty to thirty silver Taku per hundred grams.
Li Mu looked at the clear and bright red tea and knew that this was a rare good tea.
Karli poured four cups of tea and first took a sip from one of them, then signaled for Li Mu to drink the tea.
“According to past agreements, the Kallari style should show the secret martial arts and holy relics to a security officer who comes with a recommendation from the Chief of Security.”
Li Mu also sat cross-legged on the carpet and took a sip of red tea.
“Mr. Karli, what is the meaning of your words, is there something different this year?”
He looked directly at Karli, using this method to apply pressure on him. Although the Kallari style was also a behemoth, with multiple awakened individuals, the Chief of Security stood behind it. And behind the Chief of Security was Governor Shen.
The one who breached the contract was the Kallari Sect, they were completely arrogant and fearless.
“Just an hour ago, we received a recommendation letter from the Vice-Chief of Security, Rajaral, who recommended Captain Tempur of the security forces, using up this quota. Please understand the difficulties faced by the Kallari Sect, Mr. Li Mu, we don’t want to interfere with the internal affairs of the security agency.”
Kallari spoke earnestly.
Being able to manage a large martial arts arena and organize everything neatly, Kallari was not a simple character.
“But your choice has involved the internal affairs of the security agency. It is clearly only the Chief who has the full power to recommend a security officer to the Kallari Sect. You should have rejected the recommendation letter immediately.”
Shen Luoyan was even more intimidating than Li Mu, her hand slammed on the table and she leaned forward.
“Is the Kallari Sect trying to test the Chief’s strength for other forces?”
Karli was taken aback, he did not expect the security officer who came with the recommendation letter to be so assertive.
“The reason the Kallari Sect is willing to offer this quota is only to improve relations with the security agency and there are no other thoughts.”
“Throughout the security agency, there are about one hundred and more security officers who are students of the Kallari Sect, Mr. Karli, you need to know that the person in charge of personnel in the security agency is the Chief, not the Vice-Chief, Rajaral.”
Shen Luoyan did not give Karli any room to retreat, further pressing him.
The reason the Kallari Sect has so many students is that having excellent students enter the security agency as security officers is a very important reason.
This is also the exchange of interests between the security agency and the Kallari Sect. The security agency needs a group of security officers who have received strict training and have combat ability. The Kallari Sect also hopes to expand its influence through the security agency.
Most of the security officers who receive recommendation letters either have a great future, a strong background, or are good at networking. As long as they maintain good relationships with them, the Kallari Sect can thrive in the city of Avonigarda and stand firm.
Karli exuded a daunting aura.
“Miss, the Kallari sect does not accept any threats. Can you be responsible for your words and actions?”
He was still a powerful psychic, and he was somewhat irked by the coercion of a woman.
Li Mu felt a fierce aura of cruelty coming from the massive man in front of him, as if he were facing a man-eating beast, and even the hair on his back stood up.
He faced the pressure with an imperturbable demeanor.
Since the chief has entrusted him with a letter of recommendation, if he were to choose to give up at the first sign of adversity and slink away, he would likely lose trust and even his position as the Orissa security officer.
“This provincement should be asked of you, Mr. Karli. Can you take responsibility for your decision? This decision may worsen the relationship between the Kallari sect and the security headquarters, or even the Tripla Province. And all for such a minor character as the captain of the Tempur team. I think you should consult with Master Kallari and make a decision carefully.”
Karli’s fierce demeanor could not be sustained, accepting the recommendation letter from Vice-Chief Rajaral was not his decision. This involved a security chief, a security vice-chief, and two governors. Naturally, they would consult Master Kallari.
Although Governor Shen has a strong influence, Tripla is far away, while Governor Santanu is right in front of them.
After much hesitation, Karli chose to accept the letter of recommendation.
Li Mu did not directly expose this, in order to leave room for mediation in the situation.
Karli wiped the sweat off his forehead. He did not agree with the Kallari sect’s involvement in the struggle of the security headquarters from the beginning.
Although the Santanu family has a long history, Governor Shen has lived for over 400 years.
“Please wait.”
Karli stood up and slowly walked out of the reception room.
“Well done.”
Shen Luoyan nudged Li Mu with her shoulder.
Li Mei, who was on the side, curiously picked up the silver cup on the small table and took a sip. In her opinion, what the Karli faction represents was not in line with the trend. The so-called secret martial arts techniques from descender relics were of no real value to learn.
“The Chief chooses this position, he will inevitably encounter obstacles from all aspects of the Avonigarda Province. The governor of Avonigarda will only see General Shen trying to penetrate the Avonigarda Province through her.”
Li Mu said half-jokingly and half-tentatively:
“General Shen wouldn’t really want to overthrow the governor of Avonigarda, would he?”
The beautiful Maraya and Manyphel provinces on the periphery of the Tripla province are being gradually subordinated by Shen Hongshi. In the end, Shen Hongshi was able to appoint and dismiss the governors of these two provinces by his own will.
The federation could only helplessly comply.
When Li Mu heard that the Chief of Security was a descendant of Shen Hongshi, he thought of this possibility.
This is not good news. Compared to the current governor of Avonigarda, Shen Hongshi has much more aggression. If he intervenes in Avonigarda, he may be preparing for an invasion of East Xia.
Shen Luoyan’s face flashed a barely visible gloomy look and she shook her head.
“The situation in Tripla is much more complicated than you think. We have another reason to come to Avonigarda.”
