From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

# Chapter 741 Ango: I am the captain!

on the street.

Ango walked at the front, cleared his throat, and turned to Jax, Zubo, Jin Ge, and Yagata, saying, "Since our spiritual leader has appointed me as captain, I must complete this mission perfectly and find a suitable guide."

And you!

My teammates need to be on their toes.

Yagata immediately saluted, getting into character, and laughed, "Yes, Captain! We will definitely complete the mission!"

Zu Bo, though naturally pessimistic, said, "Now you're the leader of our little team, so you're in charge."

Jin Ge seemed to snap out of her daze and said, "Sorry, I was missing my daughter and was a little distracted, but if you're the captain, then I'll listen to you."

“I mean, do you guys really need to take this so seriously?” Jax said to Ango, seemingly unconcerned. “I mean, aren’t you taking yourself way too seriously?”

"Hey Jax, I'm the captain now, you have to listen to me."

Ango stared at Jax and said very seriously, "If you don't behave, I'll suggest to the boss that you continue being Jagata's doll."

"Okay, you win."

Jax couldn't look Angoh in the eye, so he turned his head away and stopped arguing.

"How does it feel to be bossed around?" Zu Bo mocked.

"cut."

A strange unease welled up in Jax's heart. He never expected that once Ango gained power, he would reprimand him so immediately.

This is downright insubordination!

But there is a fact before him: he is now in a "lower position".

"Alright, guys, let's get moving and gather information. We'll meet here at noon to discuss the results and report back to our boss!" Ango encouraged everyone, then found his target and headed to a neighborhood filled with art and painting.

Watching Ango's departing figure, Jax said, "I've never seen Ango like this before... She never used to argue with me."

"Perhaps you've been pushing her too hard."

Zu Bo chuckled and said, "She's not your puppet."

“Hey! She chose to listen to me!” Jax retorted.

"Why? Did you save her life? Or do you have some leverage over her?" Zu Bo retorted.

"What's it to you?"

Jax glanced at Zubo and walked down another block.

"that······"

Jagata wanted to invite Zubo to team up with her, but the latter had already walked away and headed to a tavern, showing the demeanor of a lone wolf.

"Okay, Jin Ge, would you like to team up with me?" Yagata could only extend an invitation to Jin Ge.

"what?"

Jin Ge seemed unaware of what had just happened, but then immediately remembered and said, "Oh, looking for a guide? No problem, I can come with you."

Yagata: "..."

Sometimes I really wonder how Jin Ge became a mercenary? With that state of being lucid one minute and dazed the next, won't he die on the battlefield?

However, when the operation actually began, only Jagata and Jingo were genuinely looking for a guide; the rest of them each had their own "hobbies."

Ango arrived at the art street.

The street stalls sell art paintings, and there are also painters sketching on both sides, earning money by painting portraits of passersby.

Ango stared at the paintings, somewhat lost in thought...

Jax casually found a quiet alley, climbed onto the wall, leaned back against it, stretched, and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.

"Is this how you find a guide? In a dream?"

Zubo appeared at the foot of the wall, staring at Jax with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "You really are irresponsible."

"What right do you have to talk to me like that? Weren't you just at the tavern?" Jax turned to the side, looking down at Zubo, and chuckled. "And besides, do you really take Jiang Liu seriously?"

"You know how powerful that eight-headed bird is; it could probably withstand the explosion of a grenade, but he easily destroyed it, and that was just the tip of the iceberg of his strength."

Zubo described a fact: "If you don't take his words seriously, he might not care, but you'll definitely suffer the consequences later."

Also, you're right, he is indeed a good person, but he never hides his ruthlessness and his moral compass is much more flexible than yours.

If he really is our boss, that would be pretty good.

"No way?"

Jax sat bolt upright, his eyes wide with disbelief. "You actually want to work for him for the rest of your life?"

“If we don’t work for him, we have to work for someone else. Otherwise, people like us can only steal and rob, and we can’t find any decent jobs.”

Zu Bo's tone revealed a hint of seriousness, "Compared to the group of wealthy people in the G-Ji Society, it is more to my liking to be under Jiang Liu's command. Although we are of different races, he is an Easterner and we are Westerners, we are at least of the same kind and our thinking is relatively similar."

On this point, Jax had to admit that Jiang Liu's way of doing things—except for his act of chivalry which didn't quite meet his expectations—was indeed quite to his liking, and he could bring him a lot of fun in the process of "acting chivalrously."

He still gets excited whenever he thinks about the incident where Jiang Liu had Yajiata set fire to the wooden and stone houses at Green Wave Pool!

More importantly—

Zu Bo continued, "He has more than one method at his disposal; perhaps he can find a way to solve my problem."

"Oh, Zubo, Zubo, you're completely out of control, he's got you all wrapped around his little finger!" Jax chuckled mockingly.

“He didn’t threaten me.” Zu Bo shook his head. “It’s just that once you reach his level of cultivation, you will definitely have a way to solve my problem.”

"cut!"

Jax leaned against the wall and yawned. "What does this have to do with me? I don't use my abilities like you do. I don't get dizzy or nauseous."

"I'm not here to persuade you, I'm just giving you a little reminder that the next global war will begin soon."

As a mercenary and an alchemist, Zubo naturally had access to information and the thoughts and private actions of high-ranking figures in various countries, allowing him to prepare in advance.

"So what? I'll just hide in some remote rural area then," Jax said, stretching lazily, his face completely unconcerned.

"What about Ango?"

Zu Bo asked.

"What do you mean?" Jax suddenly opened his eyes and stared directly at Zubo.

“I know she is one of your few remaining friends, or rather, your last friend. It may seem like you are bullying her, but you are actually protecting her. Because you have never done anything excessive to her, at most you make sarcastic remarks or suddenly push her, which is a kind of prank.”

Zubo's calm demeanor made Jax frown. "She has a thousand thoughts in her mind, but she can't show them because she's afraid of you. But suppressing them isn't a long-term solution; they'll eventually come out."

At that time.

Even if it were for her sake, she wouldn't appreciate it—I can tell she's far stronger than you, and once she unleashes her power, she won't hold back.

# Chapter 742 Psychologist: Zu Bo

"Oh my goodness, are you an expert in a newly emerging field—psychology...?"

Jax denied it, and sneered, "You really think you've seen through me? See through Ango?"

"Before becoming a mercenary, Ango worked as a hotel manager and also in the art and painting industry, right?" Zubo ignored Jax's question and simply stated a fact.

For a moment, Jax stood there stunned, then his gaze sharpened, and he said, "Okay, I admit, you do have some skills, at least in terms of reading people, you are much better than Jiang Liu, accurately guessing and controlling the personalities and identities of us."

"No, I'm not as good as him. I'm only now getting certain, while he probably figured out the personalities of all of us the moment he saw us."

Zubo put one hand on his hip and said leisurely, "Otherwise, do you think he specifically made the five of us into a team? And why did he make Ango the captain?"

Upon hearing this, Jax was taken aback again, recalling what Zubo had said earlier—Ango had countless thoughts in his mind, but was unable to express them due to his influence.

Now that she's captain and has power, she won't really do anything to Jax, but she'll probably use it to express her various thoughts.

This is--

vent?

"So you went along with it?" Jax asked Zubo after figuring everything out. "What good would that do you?"

"Didn't I say he might be able to cure my problem? As an old Eastern saying goes, it's like going with the flow and doing a small favor."

Without hesitation, Zu Bo said, "And his own purpose..."

The reasoning is that he's a good person, or that he saw our problem and simply wanted to help;

From a practical standpoint, the personalities of all five of us have some issues, which could potentially lead to unforeseen accidents during our exploration of Atlantis. We need to get to know each other thoroughly first, or at least reach a superficial level of cooperation.

He is very strong, that's true, but he is not a god after all and cannot be perfect in every aspect, so he needs to unite the team.

For me, this will also help with my subsequent actions... Although I prefer to be alone, I'm still willing to make some changes for this.

Jax was speechless.

In the blink of an eye.

It was noon.

Ango, Zubo, and Jax met at the agreed location.

"Hey everyone, have you found a guide yet?"

Ango asked, “I met an old painter on the art street who had been to the desert where Atlantis was located with Mr. Murdoch. Although he was too old to come with me, he painted a picture about Atlantis!”

"It is said that after the old painter finished his trip to Atlantis, he had a dream in which he witnessed the glorious past of Atlantis."

After saying that, she showed the portrait to Jax and Zubo.

Among the portraits:

Atlantis is lush and green, with clear waters and verdant mountains. It features three concentric rings, each surrounded by a ring of buildings.
