The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

A little earlier or a little later makes little difference.

As Ning Feng and his group swaggered closer, he believed that the people in the shadows would eventually come to this conclusion... assuming they weren't too stupid.

But Ning Feng didn't care about any of that.

What they're doing is a straightforward, open strategy—a very simple and blatant one.

Are you going to use us as pawns?

Sorry, I'm just taking all your bullets. Let's see how you shoot then.

As for whether anyone will try to stop us?

A strange smile crept across Ning Feng's face as he savored the scent in the air.

The "aura" of the Watchers headquarters was extremely orderly, and at first glance, one could not sense any chaos.

But things always turn out the opposite when they reach their extreme. The more orderly things are, the more clearly Ning Feng can perceive the deeply hidden chaos.

It is hidden very, very deep, almost undetectable.

"Come on, stop us! Don't lose your composure, or you'll be exposed."

Any clue, however slight, would be enough for Ning Feng.

Use their own methods against them.

……

……

"What a strange request. Another struggle? Really..."

Rayleigh had just returned to his office after receiving the notification, and before he could even sit down, he heard a knock on the door.

冬冬

"Please come in."

The person outside pushed the door open and entered. Rayleigh was surprised to see the legend who had just left not long ago reappear, accompanied by a subordinate who was clearly not a legend.

Two people?

Although it was not in accordance with regulations for the other party to bring his subordinates along, Rayleigh would not point it out since no one else had stopped him.

Ridge rose and went to greet her, bowing respectfully to Shirin and asking:

"Sir, was there some problem with the previous handling?"

With his head bowed and body bent, Rayleigh suddenly noticed something different.

As a veteran employee who has worked at the Overwatch headquarters for over thirty years and is specifically responsible for liaising with Legends, he has seen all sorts of Legends.

Some legendary arrogance is hidden beneath a kind exterior, while others are outwardly displayed.

Some are evil, some are kind, some are indifferent... Regardless of their behavior, Rayleigh can still distinguish them to some extent.

But this was truly the first time he had ever seen such a situation.

This legendary figure, who made no attempt to conceal his pure elven bloodline, underwent a dramatic transformation in a very short period of time.

Even though less than half a day had passed, he didn't expect that the other person would have changed so much after they met again.

Although Shirin had cooperated with him in every way before, Rayleigh could sense some resistance in her actions.

The other person doesn't like to interact with you, or rather, they don't like to interact with anyone else.

Now, the other party's attitude is still indifferent, but that invisible aura that keeps people at a distance has disappeared, and they have become much more normal.

Has something happened?

"There were no problems with the previous handling, but I'm here today to take care of something else."

"I want to apply for a new position."

This reason was not unexpected for Rayleigh; rather, Shirin's previous resignation was simply a rather unusual move.

"Alright, what position would you like to apply for?"

There aren't actually that many positions to choose from for a legendary character.

If it's too low, even if the person doesn't care, it's still a humiliation for a legend.

If the position is too high, the ability will not match the position, and others will not agree or be convinced.

As for those positions that are neither too high nor too low, most of them are already occupied by legendary figures. If Shirin wants to enter, she will inevitably interfere with the distribution of benefits.

Where there are people, there is a community, and the Watchers are no exception.

In fact, we can see this from the previous trials. When it comes to the division of interests, even legends are not immune to the common practice.

"What position to choose..."

good question!

Upon hearing this, Xilin thought about it seriously for a moment, considering what kind of job she longed for most.

It's simply about eating when you want to eat, sleeping when you want to sleep, and being able to happily drift through life every day...

Therefore, she drew the conclusion directly—

I don't want to work!

!

He just wanted to be a carefree person, what crime did he commit?

Silently turning back, Xilin looked at Ning Feng, asking him to tell her the cruel ending.

Go ahead and say it.

Ning, who had been standing behind Xilin, shook her head and stepped forward.

Don't look at me with those wet eyes. I'm not a bad person.

Logically speaking, Shirin's request was perfectly reasonable, but Rayleigh, remembering the urgent notification he had just received, said before Ning Feng could speak:

"Your Excellency, I understand your request and will assist you in submitting it later. This will take some time."

"I will notify you once the approval is granted. Please go back and wait."

His smile betrayed no acting skills. Rayleigh bowed sincerely to Shirin again, employing a delaying tactic.

[Delay, no matter what the other party asks.]

It makes no difference to him whether the other party has offended any important figures or not.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that, we've already obtained the approval."

Rayleigh's smile froze, and he stood up to look at the subordinates behind Shirin.

He maintained respect for legends, but his tone was less respectful towards those below them.

Looking at the ignorant man, Rayleigh said, seemingly kind but with an underlying criticism:

"From whom? The procedures here are different from those in the branches. It's not something that can be easily decided just because one person agrees. It still requires..."

"It's alright, the Stargazer has already agreed."

Uh?

impossible.

Just as he was about to retort, Rayleigh instinctively sensed something was wrong and held back the words that were about to come out.

...Who agreed?

Ning Feng nodded to Rayleigh and said with a bright smile:

“I have obtained permission from the Stargazer, and this is his token.”

As he spoke, Ning Feng took out a simple pure silver pocket watch from his pocket.

Before coming to headquarters, Ning Feng went to the City of Watchers to obtain permission from the Stargazers, so from the very beginning, there was no possibility of failure for him.

They were already in an invincible position.

Is this putting oneself in danger?

No, it was just a fishing trip.

Shirin is bait that attracts fish to bite the hook.

Ning Feng was the one who threw out the bait.

And the real wielder...

They are stargazers.

……

The City of Watchfulness.

Having returned to the Sky City from the Land of Star Chaser, the stargazer standing by the window had a slight change in his eyes.

Her gaze pierced through layers of barriers, using the token to land on Ning Feng.

It also fell upon everyone watching this place!

!

!

Chapter 288 Friendly? Who's friendly to you! My main trait is aggression.

But once the stargazer's gaze fell upon the room, the atmosphere changed dramatically.

Everyone observing this place through various means felt a chill run through them; they realized something...

A being worthy of being called great has descended.

"Due to some well-known special reasons, I need a powerful force around me to protect my safety."

Smiling, Ning Feng addressed the stunned Rayleigh, and everyone else who could hear him, in a soft voice:

"Therefore, I would like to request that the legendary Lady Shirin, the former head of the Bincheng Watch Society branch, serve as my companion for a period of time."
