From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Ha, you really dare to think that way."

Fanti chuckled speechlessly, “Mo Chen and the others are no longer criminals. They are under the management of Miss Hong and are jointly managing the city's defense forces with her. They are highly valued. Not to mention me, even the city lord would not take them over for you.”

"Then you go and bring Mark back yourself!"

Suiying's face contorted in rage as he clenched his fists and shouted at Fanti.

"Heh, this isn't something you can decide just by raising your voice. Think carefully about how you got to where you are now," Vatican laughed.

Sui Ying's eyes darkened slightly at this, but he remained calm and chuckled, "Who doesn't know that the lighthouse is managed by those three?"

For an instant.

Fanti twisted the lower half of his face and slammed his fist on the conference table, "startling" Suiying into closing her eyes. However, she secretly opened one eye and glanced at Fanti, looking quite comical.

"Don't be angry, Lord He Guangzhe."

Sui Ying took out four collars. "I think Mo Chen and the others will definitely volunteer to join the team this time. When that happens, just say that they might threaten me and put these four explosive collars on them."

"If they dare to disobey, I will—"

He pulled out a remote control, his eyes filled with malice, and said, "Let's blow their heads into the sky."

"I never would have guessed that you, this hypocrite, are actually quite shrewd."

Vatican gave a mocking smile. "Are you sure these things can kill them? Red Girl is very generous to the four of them."

Sui Ying had naturally witnessed how powerful those who could autonomously control their life essence were, but—

"No matter how powerful they are, they are still made of flesh and blood."

Seeing that he had gone this far, Vatican was now left with only one question: "Why should I put these collars on them?"

“This kind of show-off thing should naturally be done by Lord He Guangzhe. I only need to complete it as a way of repaying Lord He Guangzhe’s ‘kindness’. How about it?” Sui Ying leaned back in his chair, looking at Fan Di’s smooth, long legs with a playful expression.

"you!"

Vatican was furious.

"Tell me, if I complete the mission, would the city lord be willing to let me see your whole face under the mask?" Suiying asked, stroking his chin with a hint of teasing.

Before Fanti could make a move, Suiying suddenly stood up and approached Fanti, startling her so much that she didn't know what to do for a moment.

He stared intently as Suiying drew closer, her left hand reaching towards her thigh...

Snapped!

The left hand didn't touch Vatican's thigh, but instead picked up a green apple from the conference table to the right of his thigh—

Since Lu Jin uprooted and cut down the fruit trees on the aerial farm, and squeezed all the fruit into juice, there are very few whole fruits left. Only about ten are preserved in the refrigerator in Charles's private room.

To encourage him, Charles specially took out a perfectly ripe green apple and gave it to Suiying, hoping that he would achieve great success.

"I think the city lord will agree."

Sui Ying took a bite of her apple, chuckled softly, and left the conference room, striding towards the elevator platform...

···

"coming!"

Brie noticed Suiying, called out to her, and said sarcastically, "You actually made Captain Red, Commander Zhang, and Distributor Lu Jin wait for so long."

"Lord Suiying, you're getting bolder and bolder."

Upon hearing this, Suiying frowned, but ignored Buli. She swallowed hard and said to Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin, "I hope you all understand. The city lord sent Lord He Guangzhe to give me a few instructions, so I am late."

"It's alright."

Red Girl didn't care.

"Capable people often have big tempers, like me."

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, equally unconcerned, and even used himself as an example.

"We are aware of Mark's situation. Last time, he almost dismantled the lighthouse, which caused panic and fear, but it was understandable."

Lu Jin offered words of comfort.

But to Suiying's ears, these three people—

Red Girl completely disregarded him!

Zhang Zhiwei mocked him for his lack of ability!

Lu Jin seemed to be comforting him, but she was actually warning him not to make excuses!

If I could practice Qi—

[I'll definitely be more impressive than them!]

Such a thought crossed Suiying's mind, but unfortunately—

He wasn't a reserve member of the city defense force and couldn't accept Hong Guniang's teachings, while Wu Chenxi and 4079 gradually distanced themselves from him...

He was no longer Dustman 4068, no longer under Zhang Zhiwei's jurisdiction, and wouldn't be taught the methods of physical exercise...

Chapter 1199 One Day Ago - Exploding Collar

"Light gives birth to all beings, and all beings follow in its shadow..."

The blessing officer, Buli, began to pray as usual. After he finished, four people arrived: Kunjie, Mochen, Erica, and Feixue.

The objective is clear.

Join the Hunters and work together on this mission.

One was to find Mark.

Secondly, to seek the truth.

"What? Is it that the city defense forces' work isn't going your way, and you want to revert to your status as hunters?"

Before the person arrived, their voice was heard.

Everyone looked to one side and saw Vatican walking towards them, followed by two attendants, each carrying a box.

“Mark was our captain, so we can’t just stand by and do nothing.” Mo Chen’s tone turned serious as he gave his reasons.

"Your loyalty and sense of justice are truly admirable, but I'm afraid that dwelling on the past might hinder the mission's progress—"

At this point, Vatican clapped his hands, and two attendants behind him opened the box, revealing a remote control and six collars.

Mo Chen and the others were puzzled.

Sui Ying glanced at it and was startled—

Those weren't the bomb collar and remote control he made!

The remote control he made had only four slots, which corresponded exactly to the four collars, and there were also numerical markings on the collars.

However, this remote control has six slots, and there are six collars, none of which have any numbers or serial numbers... In other words, once someone puts on the collar and presses the button, it could very likely randomly kill someone!

Who are the two extra collars for?

"Therefore, the city lord has specially prepared insurance."

"Wear the explosive collar, and if anyone dares to resist, Master Suiying can decide the life or death of the rebel with a remote control."

Put it on—

Fate is beyond our control.

Not wearing it

Not only could they not find Mark immediately, but the truth about Mark's death would also become a thing of the past! Even if they suspected that Suiying was very likely the murderer, without evidence, it would be difficult to cause him trouble, especially on the lighthouse, where there was no opportunity to question Suiying.

Feixue sneered, "It seems Charles was prepared all along."

"Oh."

Vanti chuckled and turned his gaze to the girl in red. "Captain Red, aren't you going to do anything about your men?"

"They had told me about this before... Just as Lord He Guang said, they are loyal and righteous, which is truly admirable."

Red Girl glanced at Vanti, who was always trying to get attention, and said leisurely, "But the collar is unnecessary. Mo Chen, Kun Jie, Fei Xue, and Erica have worked hard even if they didn't make any contributions. They just want to go with the hunters to find their former captain."

What you're doing—

That's disheartening.

"Sister Hong is right."

Zhang Zhiwei chimed in, "Ground warfare is unpredictable and requires teamwork. If we also have to guard against our own people... Sister Fanti, you wouldn't be outwardly respecting the city lord but actually disobeying him and deliberately causing him trouble, would you?"

"You! Don't slander me!"

Hearing Zhang Zhiwei suddenly label her like this, Fanti's breathing quickened. Even though she had been frequently criticized by Zhang Zhiwei for the past six months, her emotions overwhelmed her rationality for a moment, and she lost her composure.

"Knowing that the ecological cluster area is very dangerous, they still use this method to test human nature and incite infighting among the hunters."

Lu Jin put it bluntly, "Are you afraid that Captain Suiying will bring Mark back?"

"you--"

Fanti was speechless and could only say, "This is the city lord's order!"

None of the others dared to interrupt the confrontation between the three and Vatican.

"That's not necessarily true. Why don't we go ask the city lord? It won't make a difference if we take a little more time." Zhang Zhiwei's words sounded rather unreasonable.

Fanti took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and asked in return, "If we delay the search for Mark, can you bear the responsibility?"

“If anything goes wrong, we will take responsibility for the lighthouse,” the girl in red said meaningfully.

"Hmph! That sounds nice!"

Vanti snorted coldly, no longer bothering with the three, and said directly, "The four of them will be carrying out this mission with the Hunters, so they must wear collars."

"Okay! We agree!"

Kun Jie didn't want to waste any more time with Fan Di, nor did he want to put Hong Gu Niang in a difficult position. He gestured to Mo Chen, Fei Xue, and Erica, and agreed.

But Hong Guniang disagreed.

No matter what, these four people are now her subordinates, and are also the four captains of the city defense army reserve. How could she let them be manipulated by others?
