Boom!
Accompanied by the roar of an engine, a bright red motorcycle sped towards them.
Screech!
The motorcycle came to a precise stop in front of the frozen garbage monster.
“Huh? The garbage monster’s already been dealt with? Then why the hell did I even come? Wasting my damn time, damn it.”
The young man cursed as he prepared to ride off.
But no matter how he twisted the throttle, the bike wouldn’t budge. Just as he was puzzled, a cold voice came from behind him.
“Are you from Team 4?”
Instinctively, the young man turned around to see a youth in armor holding onto his motorcycle with one hand.
He wanted to curse, but a sense of extreme danger swept over him.
“Yeah, I am. Who are you?”
The youth didn’t answer his question but instead said,
“If I remember correctly, the Dawn operation manual clearly states that if a civilian calls for help, the local ‘Dawn’ branch members must arrive within five minutes, no more than ten at most. You took half an hour. Is that reasonable?”
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately got off the bike and circled the youth twice, looking suspicious.
“Are you from the investigation team sent by headquarters?”
The youth shook his head, and the young man, who had been tense, instantly relaxed.
“Then why do you care? I was late, so what? It’s none of your damn business, you nosy bastard.”
“Sigh.”
The youth sighed helplessly and silently drew his sword.
One minute later.
The youth stepped on the young man’s body, the long sword pressed against his neck, and asked with a faint smile,
“Can we talk properly now?”
“Yes, yes, whatever you want to say, I’ll listen. Can you move the sword away first?”
The young man swallowed nervously, the blade at his neck making him panic.
Especially after witnessing the sword’s terrifying sharpness just now, he knew a slight move could decapitate him.
“You should’ve been like this from the start.”
The youth slowly moved the sword away, gently stroking the blade with his fingers, and said softly,
“Indeed, this is much more effective than verbal negotiation.”
Charisma is utterly useless, a garbage attribute.
Ye Shuangluo silently complained in his heart, then looked down at the young man under his foot.
“Now, tell me, how did your Team 4 ruin the reputation of ‘Dawn’ in Dragon City?”
“Huh?”
The young man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became evasive.
“We didn’t do anything. Our Team 4 has a great reputation in Dragon City.”
Giggle!
Ye Shuangluo activated the Asura Demon Eye and casually stabbed Mortal Kill into the young man’s thigh.
“Ahhh!”
The young man let out a pig-like scream as an indescribable pain swept through his body.
Ye Shuangluo gripped the sword handle with one hand and gently pulled it down.
“I don’t like hearing nonsense. If you spout any more, I’ll show you what real pain is.”
“Got it… I’ll talk, I’ll say everything.”
Tears streamed down the young man’s face, the pain unforgettable.
“Good. Now, I’m not interested in how you ruined ‘Dawn’s’ reputation. Tell me about your new member, Xiao Yu.”
“Xiao Yu… he’s a great guy. He was recommended by one of our Team 4 members. We all like him; he respects his seniors, is friendly, and always helps others.”
“Is that so…”
Ye Shuangluo pondered. If they all liked him so much, his damage bonus against them should be high. It seemed Xiao Yu was using the [Tears of the Hypocrite] better than he was.
“Now tell me, what did you do that made the investigation team come after you, accusing you of exploiting the people?”
The young man was silent for a moment, then nodded, but quickly defended himself,
“We didn’t do much, just wanted some compensation for our hard work. We saved their lives, after all. Asking for some money isn’t too much, right? Money is just an external thing. Even if they can’t pay, giving us their house or car would be acceptable. If that’s not possible, letting their wife or daughter keep us company should be fine, right?”
After hearing this, Ye Shuangluo was a bit surprised but found it reasonable.
“No wonder they reacted that way when they heard I was a ‘Dawn’ member.”
‘Dawn’ member, a red and black long sword, red armor.
These three keywords collided in the young man’s mind, and he suddenly thought of someone.
“You… you’re Ye Shuangluo!”
Ye Shuangluo neither confirmed nor denied it, just looked at him with a faint smile.
“Why are you in Dragon City? Shouldn’t you be in Luo City?”
A kind smile appeared on Ye Shuangluo’s face as he patted the young man’s cheek with Mortal Kill.
“Didn’t your team leader ask me to come and apologize? So here I am.”
The young man looked at Ye Shuangluo in horror. For a moment, he felt a flash of killing intent from the youth.
“Don’t do anything rash. The investigation team should be in Dragon City now. If you act recklessly, we’ll both be doomed.”
The young man tried to use the investigation team to make Ye Shuangluo hesitate, but he clearly didn’t understand his opponent.
Even if the investigation team was here, not even the current chairman of the ‘Dawn’ Committee could stop Ye Shuangluo.
“Why would I act recklessly? I’m here to solve problems.”
The youth still wore that kind smile as he took out a sack from his space backpack and stuffed the young man inside.
Then he mounted the motorcycle, pulled out his phone to start navigation, and sped towards the Team 4 branch.
……
Inside the Team 4 branch meeting room.
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline sat in a swivel chair, two young girls massaging his legs and shoulders.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the massage, and said seriously,
“Team Leader Long, many people have recently filed complaints, saying you condone your subordinates in seizing civilian property. Is there any truth to this?”
“Absolutely not. When Ah Heng was alive, he told me that the original purpose of ‘Dawn’ was to protect civilians. I’ve always kept that in mind.”
The middle-aged man’s lips curled slightly, sneering,
“Team Leader Long, you might fool those greenhorns with such words, but trying to deceive me is a bit much, don’t you think?”
Faced with the man’s accusation, Long Yiyi smiled indifferently and gave the two girls a signal.
The girls immediately understood, their pupils turning into pink heart shapes, and pink bubbles gradually enveloped the three of them.
As the bubbles completely surrounded them, his breathing grew heavy, experiencing something unknown.
“Oh, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I’ll leave for a while. Please, make yourself at home.”
With that, Long Yiyi got up and left the meeting room.
Fifteen minutes later.
The middle-aged man walked out of the meeting room, looking refreshed, and said to Long Yiyi, who was waiting at the door,
“Hmm, I thought about it and realized you’re right, Team Leader Long. A righteous leader like you wouldn’t condone your subordinates’ mistakes. It must be a malicious accusation!”
“Your insight is truly impressive, sir. I admire you.”
They exchanged a knowing glance and smiled, everything understood without words.
(Hmph, everything is just as Xiao Yu said, including this fat pig’s reaction. That kid really is something.)
“By the way, those two girls speak foreign languages quite well. I’ve been learning a new language recently, and they teach well. Can I take them back to help me with my language practice?”
The middle-aged man seemed to be asking, but his tone left no room for refusal.
Long Yiyi nodded, looking understanding,
“Oh, of course. After all, language practice requires a lot of repetition.”
“Haha, Team Leader Long, you truly understand. It’s a pity Fang Heng died too early… By the way, after all these years, do you feel lonely?”
His gaze swept over Long Yiyi’s curvaceous figure, eyes filled with greed.
Those two girls were nice, but still a bit immature in some aspects.
Long Yiyi, however, was different. She was like a ripe peach, exuding a captivating allure that made every man who saw her want a taste.
“You’re too kind… I’ve reserved a table at the best restaurant in Dragon City tonight. Would you do me the honor?”
The middle-aged man looked at her meaningfully, the lust in his eyes slowly fading, replaced by a hint of appreciation.
“Alright, let’s go.”
As Long Yiyi watched the middle-aged man’s back, her pupils instantly turned crimson gold, and scales began to grow on her body.
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around, looking at Long Yiyi suspiciously,
“Hmm? Team Leader Long, aren’t you coming with me?”
“Coming.”
Long Yiyi forcibly suppressed her inner rage the moment he turned around, always remembering Xiao Yu’s advice.
“Team Leader, the investigation team members can die, but not in Dragon City. So while they’re here, please restrain yourself. I promise, once they leave Dragon City, I will personally hunt them down.”
