Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

If nothing unexpected happens... I guess I'll have to use my money again.

He nodded silently as the boxing gym owner continued to announce the odds.

Fortunately, it's a sure-fire way to make money.

When the results come out, we'll see how much of that Natsuki guy gets.

......

"Boss, you seem to be very confident."

Jack watched as the man pushed aside the fence and walked onto the ring, a smirk playing on his lips.

This guy is really interesting.

It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person; they immediately challenged themselves.

He had just seen Moroboshi Dan and thought the two of them would talk to him about serious matters in the usual way, but he didn't expect this guy to be so unpredictable.

The Cottage team... should have some skill, so we don't need to hold back too much, but we also can't injure them outright.

"Just call me Natsuki."

"I just wanted to have a match with that guy named Jack after a long time."

Natsuki stood by the ring and said something that left Jack somewhat puzzled.

What do you mean by wanting to spar with Jack after a long time?

"This...is this the first time we've met?" Jack asked, puzzled.

"This is our first meeting."

“However, I also have a friend named Jack back in my hometown.” Xia Shu struck another classic Jack fighting pose and looked at the Jack in front of her.

Looking at the pose that Natsuki struck.

Jack suddenly felt a little awkward. Why was this guy's starting stance somewhat similar to his own?

Was it a deliberate provocation?

"Alright, then let me see your strength."

"The audience can't wait any longer." The last battle hadn't taken a toll on Jack's stamina, so he was still in top form and assumed a fighting stance.

It would be worth it to play one more game to earn some extra money.

Jack slammed his foot on the ring floor and charged at Natsuki, intending to use his weight advantage to knock him down quickly and finish the fight.

Jack, with his massive build, charged forward like a car rampaging through the streets.

The audience below the stage cheered for him. Jack often used this move to knock out his opponents in the ring.

"Looks like I was underestimated after all." Natsuki smiled slightly as she looked at Jack, who had already rushed up to her.

With a slight push of his legs, he leaped into the air and kicked out the instant Jack and his shadow intersected.

A meteor kick landed on Jack's shoulder, the heavy force sending a shiver of pain through his left shoulder and arm.

Forcibly steadying himself, he then turned around and quickly assumed a defensive posture to guard against any further attacks from the opponent.

But when he turned around, he saw that his opponent had landed on the other side of the ring, so he did not immediately choose to pursue.

"A brilliant move." Jack clenched his left hand, calmed down a bit, and his gaze became more serious as he praised the man in front of him.

The other party is probably not human.

The opponent's reaction speed and jumping ability just now exceeded the limits of human beings.

"how is this possible?"

"Jack actually lost in the very first exchange?"

"Oh no, could that human be some kind of expert as well?"

"Oh no! My money!"

The aliens in the audience sensed something was wrong when they saw this.

"If you don't attack, I'm going to make the first move," Natsuki said with a smile, looking at Jack who was in a defensive stance.

In order not to hurt his opponent, he deliberately held back his strength. After all, this was just a friendly spar to understand Jack's efficiency in this universe.

Like Dan Moroboshi, there was also an extremely faint point of light inside Jack's body, but... it was much fainter than Dan Moroboshi's.

This Jack still has a long way to go before becoming an Ultra Warrior.

"Bring it on!" Jack said with a forceful effort, his muscles bulging as he looked serious.

He's ready to go all out!

......

At a round table on the side of a street in an alien town.

"Wow...you're really amazing, Mr. Natsuki."

"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Jack sat in the chair, rubbing his sore muscles, and said with a defeated smile.

Despite the expectations of all the viewers, he lost and was utterly defeated.

They ran out of the boxing gym before the audience could even yell for their money back. The audience was questioning whether Jack had fixed the fight, but he knew he was truly no match for Jack.

He could sense that Natsuki had stopped exerting her strength, but in terms of skill, he had lost completely.

"It's just a friendly sparring match. I think this will bring us closer together," Xia Shu said, holding a large drink cup in her hand as she looked at Jack.

Then he looked at Moroboshi Dan, who was counting money next to him.

"Moroboshi...that's all my money, isn't it?"

Moroboshi Dan was holding a wad of banknotes, calculating his winnings from the boxing match, which were almost half of his salary.

Hearing Xia Shu's words, he glanced at him, then took out a few of the bills and stuffed them into Xia Shu's hand.

“This should be enough for you,” said Dan Moroboshi, adjusting his glasses.

After taking a cut and deducting the amount he used to pay for his own meals, it's roughly this amount.

Natsuki: "......"

Are you serious?

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke around?" Moroboshi Dan put the money away, crossed his arms, and said with a serious expression.

Natsuki: "Wandering aimlessly."

"We've come to see you this time mainly because we have two cases on our hands."

"And based on my intuition, there might be a lot going on behind these two cases..." Dan Moroboshi ignored Natsuki's gaze and quickly got to the point with Jack.

Chapter 391 The Impending Conflict

"Um......"

At a round table on the street, Jack looked at the documents handed to him by Dan Moroboshi, his brows furrowing slightly.

This matter seems to be a little more complicated than he had anticipated.

Let's get to the conclusion first.

He put down the documents and looked at Natsuki and Moroboshi Dan before speaking.

"I have some leads on this serial murder case, but I don't have any information about the organization that sells corpses."

Human corpses, when sold as commodities, are usually marked with QR codes on their necks.

As an information broker, Jack knew of several organizations that specialized in recycling the bodies of people who died of natural causes. These organizations would sell such bodies as commodities. This kind of human corpse was on the gray line but not completely crossed the line. This was the common type of human corpse that was being sold.

"I've never seen the product codes for these corpses before."

“Moroboshi…knowing me as you do, you should understand what this means,” Jack said, shoving the file back into Moroboshi’s hand.

Hearing him say that...

Moroboshi Dan's gaze also became somewhat serious.

If even this intelligence broker, who operates in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, doesn't know about something, it must be related to a far more complex criminal organization.

"Both of these incidents could potentially lead to a conflict with the Star Cluster Council. Are you sure you want to get deeply involved?" Jack added a casual reminder.

Since Earth has joined the Interstellar Alliance, the Science Patrol is a subordinate organization of the Earth branch of the Star Cluster Council. As a subordinate organization, if it clashes with them, it would be considered an act of insubordination.

Face this problem.

Before Moroboshi Dan could speak, Natsuki immediately replied, "Is that even a question?"

"No matter who the other party is, anyone who tramples on life should be punished accordingly."

Upon hearing this, Dan Moroboshi couldn't help but look at him.

This guy... really doesn't take the Star Cluster Council seriously.

“Although I don’t get along with this guy most of the time, we agree on this issue,” Moroboshi Dan said earnestly.

Star Cluster Council?

He didn't regard those hypocrites as anything noble.

"Seriously...as expected of the Kurt Team."

“I understand. I will do my best in the follow-up investigation and will notify you as soon as there are any new discoveries.” Jack looked at the two of them and smiled as he spoke.

After a brief farewell.

All three of them got up and prepared to leave.

On the way back, Moroboshi Dan kept hearing a muttering in his ear.

What do you mean by "we often don't get along"?

"Tell me, did I put in any effort at work? Did I actually solve any problems?"

"answer me!"
