The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

If I am just a tool, then the other party is clearly here to replace me as the second tool.

How pitiful.

……

……

Feeling something was off about the complicated look in the middle-aged man's eyes, Rod finally asked the question that had been bothering him the most.

"Ning Feng, um... what exactly did you call me here for?"

Ning Feng paused, blinked in surprise, and asked in astonishment:

"Huh? Haven't I told you yet?"

Yesterday, Ning Feng was so busy with important matters that he completely forgot he hadn't revealed the specific details to Luo De. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"First of all, I'm inviting you to join the Watchers."

it is good!

Having received a positive response, Rod's anxiety subsided.

"Secondly, I'm going to introduce you to the branch manager, who will soon be the former branch manager."

Rhodes raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

Former branch manager?

Did I happen to be caught in the power shift?

"And most importantly..."

Stopping in front of the door, Ning Feng turned his head to look at Luo De's confused expression, a glint of expectation in his eyes, and said:

"You also know the future branch manager."

Do I know him?

With a furrowed brow, a flood of information about people flashed through his mind, and Rhodes quickly narrowed down the possible range.

who is it?

Ning Feng stared at Luo De and said lightly:

"It's you."

Oh!

Oh, it was me!

I thought it was someone else. If you had said so earlier... um?

With a blank expression, Rhodes blinked rapidly, then blinked hard again, seemingly uncertain.

Who are you talking about?!

Seeing the satisfied expression, Ning Feng turned his head to meet the ruby ​​eyes on his shoulder, which were also full of information, and smiled knowingly.

I have to admit, it's really interesting to see other people missing!

Turning around, Ning Feng didn't explain. He simply pushed open the door in front of him and strode inside.

他 说:

"Welcome again to the Bincheng Watch Club branch."

"Minister Rhodes."

Chapter 264 Let's talk after we're tied to the pirate ship!

A new branch manager?

Who?

It's Rod!

Who is Rod?

……ah!

Damn it, so it was me, Rod!

……

Only a brief moment passed before Rhodes experienced a mental breakdown.

He was in a state of complete confusion.

Rhodes had considered joining the Watchers; he was prepared for it before coming here and had the desire and idea to do so.

But he never expected to be given such high treatment right from the start...

I never expected this!

Branch manager...

That's the head of a division of the Watchers!

In that instant, the social class he crossed was completely beyond his imagination.

If everything is really as Ning Feng said, then Rhodes went directly from a pitiful, wild, lone awakened individual into the official system, and with a high-ranking position!

Correct.

For the vast majority of Awakened Ones, although the Watchers claim they will not rule the world, in most people's minds the Watchers are the official force in the world of Awakened Ones.

Their footprints cover every corner of the human world, and every country has its own dedicated branch, which can directly influence changes in regime.

With such strength, influence, and power... if such an organization isn't official, then what could be considered official?

The reason for promising not to rule or contend for supremacy is not because Overwatch is weak, but because there is simply no need for it.

The Watchers have long reigned supreme in this world.

It has been more than a thousand years.

……

No, no!

Calm down!

Rhodes, you need to calm down!

Don't let yourself be blinded by what you see; there will always be a price to pay.

Rod was not an inexperienced young man who had never seen the world; he knew very well that every benefit came at a price.

A person who is blindly greedy will surely be harmed by their own greedy desires.

Quickly regaining his senses, Rhodes calmed himself and asked seriously:

"...What price will I have to pay?"

Ning Feng watched with a smile as he observed the changes in Rhodes' expression for a while, and he wasn't surprised by his reaction.

Perhaps it is because of his years of experience working alone that Rhodes has become more careful and cautious in handling matters, which is a good thing.

But this time, Rhodes is destined to miscalculate.

Ning Feng waved his hand and shook his head with a smile:

"The cost? We're not some heartless company."

Please, we're the Watchers.

"There's no such thing as a price to pay. If I had to name one, it would be some promises that need to be kept, like loyalty to this world."

Turning back, Ning Feng shrugged easily:

"Besides that, the costs you're worried about are probably not worth considering for Overwatch."

From Ning Feng's nonchalant words, Luo De keenly sensed a different emotion.

I don't like it.

Rhodes had interacted with people from powerful organizations before, and these people generally had a sense of superiority and arrogance.

But it's just a sense of superiority. There are people like spoiled brats, but they are really few and far between.

As my strength has grown, I haven't seen such gazes for a long time. Even those gazes that initially carried a sense of superiority have gradually disappeared, replaced by respect and equality.

But it's different from that. What Ning Feng's seemingly gentle eyes revealed was an emotion that was more sophisticated than a sense of superiority.

The Watchers' Association treats the truly vulnerable with kindness and compassion, and is willing to proactively provide them with protection and assistance.

But when faced with those who claim to be strong, the Watchers will reveal their true nature.

There is one thing you must know when dealing with the Watchmen.

The Watchers are very arrogant!

arrogant.

The Watchers sympathize with the weak and despise the strong.

The Watchers have everything that people pursue: wealth, power, strength, resources, and so on.

What are these Watchers, who already possess all of this, pursuing?

Their goal, like their title, has always been clear—

[Watching Over the World]

Although many people don't believe it, they think it's just an excuse to cover up the truth, and there must be other plans behind the scenes.

But the Watchers didn't care and continued to stick to their principles.

Whether you understand or not, it doesn't matter.

In the most imperfect and distorted world, there needs to be a group of people who harbor unattainable ideals.

They will give anything to achieve that goal.

Perhaps, in some ways this is a kind of distortion, but... who really cares?
