Hu Qi hung up the phone. His eyes glinted as he let out a long sigh of relief.
'The situation doesn't seem too bad for now...'
Hu Qi had chosen to make a video call rather than a regular phone call specifically so he could get a clear, direct look at Lin Tong's reaction to the news.
Thanks to a few techniques from his Criminal Investigation Technique Skill, as well as his Attentive as a Hair Trait.
He had just taken in every detail of the other man's expression and tone, which led him to believe he was telling the truth.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the man was a master actor, good enough to fool him completely.

After all, the man had mentioned the Black Blood Species before.
In his mind, a Transcendent would surely have close ties to the Federation, so handling this kind of situation should be well within their capabilities.
The results were just as Hu Qi had expected.
