Director i had her eye on a set of throwing knives, three in total, nad "Blazing Banners." They were forged from the remains of a superhuman life form with so kind of fire-based special ability, mixed with dozens of precious tals, and slted using high-tech thods.
This weapon could effortlessly kill a Gamma Level (3rd Level) Mutant, and it also dealt considerable damage to Delta Level (4th Level) Mutants.
The "Blazing Banners" were priced at 1,600 rit points, with a half-price courtesy discount of 800.
Chen Gu had a mournful look on his face. "Director, you don’t have to charge into the fray; such equipnt is useless for you. Why not give it to soone who really needs it, like the special service team mbers?"
Director i smiled inscrutably. "Marcus, let us have a word in private."
Marcus agreed and left.
Director i leaned back in her chair, sizing Chen Gu up with a strange look that made him sowhat uneasy. "Director..."
Director i suddenly asked, "Chen Gu, do you know my na?"
Chen Gu was bewildered. Huh? What does she an? Does she want us to get acquainted?
"My na is i Lixue."
Chen Gu was still confused and looked at her questioningly. Director i scoffed coldly, "It seems you really don’t rember. HEH. No wonder. In the eyes of soone like you, what do I even count for?"
"Wait a minute!" The more Chen Gu heard, the more sothing seed off. How co it sounds like I once toyed with her affections and then abandoned her?
i Lixue let out another cold laugh. "When we first wanted to recruit you into the Bureau of Mystic Security, Marcel fiercely opposed it. But I single-handedly pushed back against him to bring you in, specifically into my division. Do you know why?"
Chen Gu honestly didn’t know.
"It was precisely so I could get my revenge on you!" Director i gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Chen Gu shivered. "What... what on earth did I do to you?"
"HEH." Director i gave a cold laugh. "Of course you don’t rember, my old classmate!"
Classmate?! Chen Gu suddenly rembered, pointing at Director i in disbelief. "You, you, you, you were the chubby girl in the second-to-last row..."
"See, now you rember, ’chubby girl’... HMPH! HMPH! HMPH!"
Chen Gu scratched his head, finding it very hard to reconcile the elite aura of the middle-aged beauty before him with the image of the dejected and comical chubby girl from high school.
"You, Ossosa, Zhao Ji, and Gao ngjiu, how did you bully back then?"
"Pretending to be the class heartthrob and writing love letters, making foolishly wait behind the school for three hours!"
"Secretly sticking pictures of walruses on my back during morning exercises!"
"Yelling for to go roll in the sandpit during Sports Day!"
"Putting fake snakes in my drawer—and even purposely choosing the fattest fake snake!"
"Saring red ink on my chair and mocking for getting my first period?"
Chen Gu weakly raised his hand. "Uh... the thing with the red ink, that really wasn’t us..."
Director i slamd the table in a rage. "Does it make a difference?"
Chen Gu slowly retracted his hand, shrinking his neck back.
Director i took a deep breath. "Because of all of you, the first thing I did after graduating college and getting my first month’s salary was get stomach surgery! I tried everything, put in all my effort, and finally, I slimd down!"
"Now do you understand? You’ve fallen into my hands. The Bureau of Mystic Security is a special departnt; you can’t just resign. I can tornt you however I want, and you’ve got nowhere to run!"
"Do you know what you should do now?"
Chen Gu nodded like a pecking chick and obediently transferred 800 rit points to i Lixue. The Fifth Division’s wealthiest individual, once possessing 1,300 rit points, was instantly reduced to a re 56.
Chen Gu wasn’t in the mood to look for any big sales anymore and walked away dejectedly.
After leaving the sub-bureau building and sitting in his car, Chen Gu still couldn’t believe it. The little chubby girl—Director i!
This can’t be happening!
Are you kidding , God?
My big boss is an old nesis, always ready to make things difficult for . What should I do? Waiting online, urgently!
Turns out, my ultimate boss is like an ungrateful child I’ve raised—not only refusing to protect but even helping my torntors. What to do? Forget it, no point waiting for online advice; you all probably don’t have a solution anyway...
Chen Gu furiously called Ossosa. "Do you rember that little chubby girl from the second-to-last row in our high school?"
Ossosa shuddered. "You, you’ve t her too?"
"Yeah," Chen Gu responded. Before he could continue, Ossosa quickly said, "Don’t worry! I’ll take you to pay respects to her tomorrow. She’s actually quite magnanimous. I go to pay respects every year, and she’s never co to bother again."
Hm? Chen Gu thought. Interesting! He realized that if anything could imdiately cheer up a poor sod who had just suffered misfortune, it was discovering another poor sod who was even worse off.
Chen Gu solemnly said, "Okay, I’ll call you tomorrow. By the way, where are we going to pay respects?"
"By the Moshui River in the southern part of the city. She... she told herself. She drowned herself there. When she ca to , she was all wet, hair clinging to her face..."
Chen Gu offered a couple of perfunctory responses and quickly hung up, afraid he’d burst out snorting with laughter.
i Lixue is a Practitioner. She has the ability to scare Ossosa by pretending to be a ghost. And Ossosa, having encountered Practitioners and knowing about the existence of the Endless Realm, would naturally think a ghost appearing isn’t impossible. HA HA HA!
But after laughing twice, thinking about his loss of a full 800 rit points, he just couldn’t bring himself to laugh anymore.
i Lixue tricked Ossosa. But what about Gorilla and Zhao Ji? Chen Gu eagerly started making calls.
"i Lixue? That little vixen is too scheming. She lost weight, beca beautiful, pretended to have a reunion with an old classmate, then got drunk, stripped naked, and took photos with —she blackmailed ruthlessly using them." As soon as he heard i Lixue’s na, Zhao Ji began to pour out his sorrows to Chen Gu.
Chen Gu asked, "What did she blackmail you for? Money?"
Zhao Ji hesitated. "It wasn’t anything important..."
"What exactly was it?"
"Really, it’s nothing... HEY, HEY, HEY, my wife is calling! I have to attend to her. Goodbye!"
BEEP.
Chen Gu was certain Zhao Ji had been thoroughly ssed with!
Upon making the third call, to Gorilla, as soon as Gorilla heard the na, he said softly, "Hold on."
Chen Gu could tell he must have moved from a crowded place to his office and closed the door before continuing, "You’ve encountered her too? Let tell you: be extrely careful. That woman is a black widow!"
"She almost destroyed everything for !"
Chen Gu imdiately beca interested. Such a tragic tale! Hurry up and recall it so I can have a good laugh.
Gorilla growled seriously, "You bastard! I’m not kidding. That woman is incredibly venomous. You absolutely must be careful!"
