A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Ji Zuodao grinned and waved his hand:

"Alright, alright, stop slacking off here! The Monster Protection Association is a mess that still needs cleaning up."

"I'll pick a few brothers to come with me to raid... cough, to legally register and receive the assets involved in the case!"

"What?! Confiscating property?!"

The office erupted in chaos. The monsters' eyes widened like searchlights, practically glowing green.

Don't get me wrong, these demon princes' offspring aren't really trying to take advantage of the situation—

The main reason is that the word itself sounds fresh and exciting!

These gang leaders look rustic, like they came from some remote mountain village, but they're all incredibly wealthy; they just haven't learned the human ways of flaunting their wealth yet.

Just like that joke circulating online:

The cowherd said, "I can only go to school if I sell the cows." You might think he was destitute, but it turns out he had hundreds of thousands of cows, living a life of understated luxury.

Ji Zuodao worked as an investigator for Bureau 749 for several months and participated in many raids, making some money off the operation.

But when it comes to wealth and status, he's at the bottom compared to these second-generation demons.

"I'm going! Brother Dao, can I come with you?"

"Do you even know how to copy this properly? You're so clumsy! Brother Dao, teach me, I'm careful!"

"Get lost! Brother Dao, look at me! I have a keen nose; I can smell the gold bars hidden under the bed!"

……

Good heavens, a whole room full of monsters rolled up their sleeves and argued so fiercely that their faces turned red and their necks bulged.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! Everyone, calm down!"

Ji Zuodao quickly gestured for him to stop, "This time we can't bring a whole bunch of people, or it'll look like bandits have invaded the village! The higher-ups are cracking down hard lately, we have to be careful about the impact! Just three, three at most!"

He searched the area among the monsters, then pointed with his finger:

"Jin Xiaoman! Your Golden Toad clan is truly gifted at finding treasures; count me in."

"Alright! Thanks for the appreciation, Brother Dao!"

Jin Xiaoman scurried over to Ji Zuodao's side, clasped her hands in a fist salute to everyone around her, and held her chin high. "Sorry everyone, there's nothing I can do, this is just how awesome my livelihood is! I was born to do this!"

"Pah! Showing off like that!" The demons booed in unison.

"Bring two more strong, steady hands and feet."

Ji Zuodao continued, "Those bastards from the Monster Protection Association, who knows how many treasures they've buried somewhere. Someone has to move them."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "rip" sound, and Xiong Meng stood up with a "whoosh". His muscles were so bulging that they stretched the already tight 749 Bureau uniform open.

"Brother Dao! I'm strong! Let me go! I promise I won't get hurt!" Xiong patted his chest, making a loud thud.

Immediately, a voice from the side said sarcastically, "Come on, big bear, that's just brute force, a three-pronged attack! You're a monster for three seconds, then you wilted after three seconds, what good is that?"

"You're talking nonsense! I can last a long time!" Xiong Meng's big face turned bright red.

"Alright, alright, shut up."

Ji Zuodao, too lazy to listen to their arguing, pointed and said, "Ao Yan, Ni Yu, it's the two of you. Your cultivation is high enough, your eyesight is sharp enough, and a man and a woman working together makes the work easier."

The red dragon Ao Yan and the blue phoenix Ni Yu, who were named, stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Ao Yan subconsciously straightened his back, snorted out two tiny sparks, but his eyes drifted to the other side.

Ni Yu gave a soft "hmm" and elegantly raised her chin, her neck curving gracefully, but out of the corner of her eye, she clearly glanced to the side.

These two demons, one a dragon and the other a phoenix, are among the most powerful in the younger generation of Ailao Mountain.

Anyone with eyes could see that they both had feelings for each other, but unfortunately, they were both born in the Year of the Duck—

The meat is rotten but the mouth isn't; that's just stubborn pride.

Mingming was overjoyed at the thought of going on a mission together.

But what about on the surface?

One stood with his arms crossed, gazing at the sky, while the other looked down, playing with his fingers. They were standing close, but their eyes just wouldn't meet. If they did make eye contact, they would immediately look away.

That awkwardness made Ji Zuodao feel a stomachache.

Having mustered his "raid squad," Ji Zuodao surveyed the remaining, scratching-headed monsters:

"You all need to keep busy! With the Monster Protection Association collapsing, there will be a lot of follow-up work. You all need to thoroughly study the 'Monster Management Regulations' and the 'Special Asset Management Law' again! Su Xiaoxiao!"

"I'm here, I'm here~" Su Xiaoxiao swayed her waist and came closer.

"Take all those messy books out and burn them! Don't leave a single one behind!" Ji Zuodao glared.

"Huh? Burn it all?" Su Xiaoxiao felt a little heartbroken; that "knowledge" was hard-earned.

"burn!"

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao pouted, reluctantly.

"Bear Fierce!"

"Yes, Brother Dao, what are your orders?"

"Take this note and go to the logistics department to get a new uniform," Ji Zuodao added slowly. "The cost will be deducted from your salary this month."

Xiong Meng's honest face immediately scrunched up into a bitter expression.

After dismissing the group of demons, Ji Zuodao strolled over to the tabby cat and panda who were still diligently doing their mukbang (eating broadcast) videos.

"I'm giving you two a glorious but arduous task." Ji Zuodao squatted down, grinning like a weasel tricking chicks.

"Boss, please speak!" The tabby cat licked its paws, looking utterly innocent.

"I went to the official live stream of the Qi Refining Platform and cried my eyes out."

"Huh?" The tabby cat and the panda were both dumbfounded. "Cry...cry miserably? Boss, we won't!"

The panda was also hugging bamboo, blinking its dark circles in a daze.

"Tsk, what's so difficult about this? Come on, let the boss get you two into the mood."

Ji Zuodao stroked his chin and looked at the tabby cat.

"Imagine you've fallen for a beautiful, fair-skinned, curvy calico cat. You run together in the sunset, groom each other, and watch the moon together from the rooftop—life is so blissful..."

The tabby cat squinted, and the corners of its mouth began to involuntarily turn up in a smile: "Hehehe..."

"Then--"

Ji Zuodao's tone suddenly changed, becoming sinister as he said, "Suddenly! Those damned bastards from the Monster Protection Association rushed out! Right in front of you, they pinned your calico cat down, and then... hehehe..."

"Are you kidding me?! No way—"

The tabby cat knelt on the ground, two lines of clear tears falling.

"Good, keep this mood."

Ji Zuodao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the panda who had a blank expression.

Five minutes later.

The tabby cat and the panda knelt side by side in front of the camera, their eyes red and brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful and heartbroken.

"Here are your lines. Read them aloud with full emotion, with sincerity, so that they will move listeners to tears!"

Ji Zuodao handed over a piece of paper.

The two demons took it and saw that it was written on it:

"I, a little demon, originally lived on the outskirts of Jinghai City. I had a house and fields, and my life was endlessly joyful."

Who knew that the demon protector would be so tyrannical and ruthless, colluding with the demon king to seize my house and land!

My grandfather turned against him and was brutally beaten flat with a stick!

My grandma scolded him for bullying the kind-hearted demon, but he captured her and took her to his demon lair, where he raped her a hundred times, a hundred times!

In the end, she hanged herself, leaving behind a legacy of regret.

He also drove my father and me out of our home and left us to wander by the river!

To support my elderly father, I had no choice but to beg alone in front of the temple!

My poor father, penniless, met a tragic end! This hatred is hard to bear!

To bury my father, I had no choice but to sell myself into slavery and debase myself.

While diligently earning money, he also studied diligently, vowing to achieve fame and success, and determined to avenge his enemies!

From this day forward, "Anti-Demon Protection Society" will be by my side; I will remember this hatred as an irreconcilable enemy—heaven—!

Tabby cat & panda: "???"

The two demons raised their heads, their eyes blurry with tears, and looked at their leader.

Ji Zuodao crossed his arms and grinned even more like a weasel.

The onlookers craned their necks to read the lines, their lips twitching, and their gazes toward Ji Zuodao changed.

Goodness...

You're going to make money.

You have to ruin its reputation too.

Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.

Ji Zuodao, you're really something else.
