Seth began recounting what happened after they entered the Outer Ring.
According to the plan, they went to the town controlled by the Lion's Tooth Gang to gather information about Perlman and look for an opportunity to capture him.
However, the townspeople told them that Perlman had followed the Lion's Tooth Gang leader to attack the Bangboo Gang.
To investigate further, they headed to Bangboo Town.
As soon as they entered the town, they encountered a giant rock beast, seven or eight ters tall—the leader of the Bangboo Gang, Azhdaha...
Before Seth could finish, the Chief of Public Security stared at him and interrupted, "What did you say? A Bangboo seven or eight ters tall?"
Seth explained, "Strictly speaking, it wasn't a Bangboo... more like a massive Ethereal, or so kind of giant beast. I have no idea where it ca from."
Then, Seth continued.
After encountering the massive Azhdaha, their first instinct was to retreat—but it was too late. Azhdaha had already locked onto them.
What followed was a desperate escape...
Azhdaha, who was initially only seven or eight ters tall, grew rapidly, transforming into a 50-ter-tall monster in the blink of an eye.
The Chief of Public Security frowned, his expression full of disbelief: "??????"
A 50-ter-tall monster?
I sent you out there to catch fugitives, and now you're making up stories?
Seth sighed. "Chief, I know this sounds unbelievable, but what happened next is even more astonishing..."
Then, Seth continued describing Sam Li's battle with Azhdaha.
When Azhdaha grew to a hundred ters tall, they were forced into a desperate situation.
Just then—
Piper, one of the Sons of Calydon, drove a truck onto the battlefield, bringing Mr. Sam Li with her.
The mont Sam Li arrived, he struck down the hundred-ter-tall Azhdaha with a single punch.
The Chief of Public Security frowned, face stern. "Didn't you just say it was 50 ters tall?"
Seth explained, "Azhdaha grew incredibly fast—before we knew it, it had beco a hundred-ter-tall rock beast..."
The Chief pressed further, "This Sam Li you ntioned—is he the one working at Hare's House? Are you certain he can knock down a hundred-ter-tall rock monster with one punch?"
Seth answered firmly, "I'm certain."
The Chief's expression turned serious. "Officer Zhu Yuan, Officer Seth, Officer Qingyi—this is an official work report. Please take it seriously."
The Chief trusted Zhu Yuan's team deeply.
But what Zhu Yuan and Seth were describing sounded far too exaggerated.
Zhu Yuan looked helpless: "..."
Qingyi remained silent: "..."
Seth continued, "Chief, I haven't finished yet."
He went on, giving a quick summary of the entire battle between Sam Li and Azhdaha.
For example, Sam Li wielding a 50-ter-long spear to suppress Azhdaha...
Or Azhdaha charging with such force that it nearly toppled an entire mountain...
Or Sam Li grabbing Azhdaha's tail and throwing him thousands of ters away...
The more Seth spoke, the more excited he beca.
But he didn't notice that the Chief's expression had changed—from doubt and sternness to growing anger.
The team he trusted most was trying to fool him with such an implausible story.
"Enough. Zhu Yuan, Seth, Qingyi—stop making up stories full of holes. Write an accurate report imdiately and send it to my office."
A hundred-ter-tall rock beast...
A mortal rivaling a god...
Even if you're going to make up a story, at least make it believable.
Seth protested, looking wronged. "Chief, everything I just said is true."
Zhu Yuan added seriously, "I guarantee that everything we reported just now is the truth."
The Chief's expression remained grim. "Where's the evidence? Where is this hundred-ter-tall rock giant? Zhu Yuan, you've truly disappointed this ti."
Hearing this, Seth lowered his head: "..."
Zhu Yuan bit her lip, wanting to speak but holding back. Only Qingyi remained composed.
At that mont, Qingyi sighed, brushed back her hair, and took out a small mory card from behind her head.
"Chief, if you don't believe us, perhaps you should watch this footage first before making any conclusions..."
Hearing this—
Seth exclaid excitedly, "Senior Qingyi, you actually recorded it!"
Zhu Yuan was thrilled too. "As expected of Senior Qingyi."
Qingyi said calmly, "Since we had just gone through a battle, I can't guarantee the card isn't damaged. I hope it's still intact."
With that—
Qingyi stepped forward and inserted the small mory card into the nearby device.
Monts later—
The conference room's large screen lit up, displaying the battle between Sam Li and Azhdaha.
A tiny human versus a hundred-ter-tall rock giant...
They fought dozens of rounds, from dusk into the night...
Though the footage was sowhat blurry, what it captured was stunning—especially Sam Li's performance, exactly as Seth had described: a mortal fighting on par with a god.
Seth spoke excitedly, "Chief, you believe us now, right?"
Zhu Yuan added earnestly, "Chief, this footage is the best proof."
Qingyi said nothing.
As if it had nothing to do with her, she simply took out a tea set, sat down, and started drinking tea.
The Chief's expression changed completely—from doubt and anger to shock, his face full of astonishnt.
The hundred-ter-tall rock giant was real...
And so was a mortal who could rival a god...
He could hardly imagine what kind of disaster would strike New Eridu if such a beast appeared in the city.
Would it flatten the entire district?
Destroy the last hope of human civilization?
The Chief of Public Security didn't know who—besides Sam Li—could stop such a terrifying rock beast, even more formidable than a high-ranking Ethereal.
It took him a long ti to recover from the shock.
His expression turned extrely serious. "Zhu Yuan, Seth, Qingyi—my apologies. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Then—
He stared at the screen again. "Who else knows about this battle?"
Zhu Yuan answered, "Just us, Hare's House, the Sons of Calydon, the Bangboo Gang, and Jane.
Aside from those people, no one else knows."
The Chief imdiately issued an order. "Seal this information. Don't let it spread."
After watching Qingyi's recording, the Chief of Public Security confird two things.
First—two extraordinarily powerful beings had appeared in New Eridu: one helping humanity, and one hostile to it...
Second—the appearance of Sam Li and Azhdaha had shattered human understanding, proving that humanity's knowledge of this world was still woefully inadequate...
