No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Is it...again? Can he really hear my thoughts?

With a timid yet hopeful look, he looked up at Jiang Shu, wanting to hear him refute him and tell him that even ordinary people have a reason to work hard.

But when his gaze fell on Jiang Shu, he realized that Jiang Shu wasn't talking to him.

Jiang Shu stood with his hands on his hips, speaking eloquently to the two women he had brought with him: "No, that's not how it is. Defeating the two of them isn't that difficult."

Damn it, was he just flirting and bragging?

While Sachima was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a strange sound behind her.

Turning around, he asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?"

"No...no..." Hiroshima Heatwave rubbed his eyes, "I wasn't crying, sob sob..."

"Alright..."

Distracted by the Hiroshima heatwave, Sachima simply stopped thinking about it and made a decision.

He went straight to Jiang Shu's side.

"can we talk?"

Jiang Shu stopped joking, looked at Shaqima, and shrugged: "I've already told you, I won't reveal a single word about how I broke through your defenses."

“I know.” Sachima nodded and explained, “Although I’m still very curious about this and do have some hope, I did come to you because there are other more important things.”

"What?" Jiang Shu asked subconsciously.

“The person ranked number one in the ultimate arena,” Shaqima said mysteriously and seriously. “She’s someone who could potentially threaten the evolutionary world. If possible, I hope you can find a way to defeat her.”

Jiang Shu was taken aback.

It's understandable if it threatens the competition.

Threatening the evolutionary world... How come the leap is so huge all of a sudden?

And why are you looking for me?

What kind of development is this?

Out of curiosity, Jiang Shu thought for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. He simply replied, "One hour. I can give you one hour."

"enough."

After saying that, Sachima greeted the Sugar Knight and then left with Jiang Shu and the other two.

"gone?"

Why did you leave?

"And Sachima left with them too, what's going on?"

When everyone snapped out of their heated discussion about the two battles and finally remembered to pay attention to the protagonist Jiang Shu, they heard from the Sugar Heart Knight that they had already left without anyone noticing.

Many people couldn't help but look at Masakazu sitting on the ground, trembling and sobbing, and then a murmur rippled through the crowd.

"I told you his relationship with Shaqima wasn't quite right."

"Sigh, let's say less. They're feeling really down right now."

"I originally thought it would be a scene where Sachima would stand up for him and forcefully regain his face, but I didn't expect that the person who stood up for him would run away with someone else. Who wouldn't feel upset in this situation?"

"If you ask me, this Sachima (a type of Chinese pastry) and the Hiroshima heatwave are a perfect match..."

"No more tragic fates! No more lovebirds!"

"So that guy who says 'spicy is no good' is really bad."

"But to be fair, if this is his true strength, then I suddenly feel that his previous arrogance is understandable. In fact, rather than arrogance, it's more like unrestrained and carefree pursuit of revenge."

A moment of silence fell over the crowd, and many people agreed with this view.

That's often how it is; there's no need to argue. As long as you sit in the imperial palace, great scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for you.

"But hey," someone suddenly added, "I feel like seeking revenge and being a mistress taking over are two different things, right?"

Hearing this, Hiroshima Heatwave finally couldn't hold back any longer: "That's not how it works!!"

But because his throat was full of snot from crying, his voice was already unclear, and he was also very emotional, so no one could hear him clearly.

"Look how angry she is, she can't even speak properly."

The atmosphere at the final show suddenly became lively again.

Normally, if any discordant situation arises in the final match, like in this situation, Sugar Knight should step in to make his presence known and mediate.

Absolutely impossible

But this time, he remained silent.

Because he kept looking at the place where Jiang Shu and Shaqima left.

His eyes held a hint of worry.

Chapter 309 Two People Plotting in the Bar Lobby

"The environment is quite nice."

Jiang Shu looked around and commented with satisfaction.

Opposite him was a customer who had just ordered Sachima.

The two were sitting in a small bar inside a church compound. It was already 3 a.m., so there were only a few customers, and it seemed that the bar would be closing soon. The staff were cleaning up their equipment and doing their usual cleaning.

"It's pretty good. I come here often lately. It's a hidden gem of a shop that I've found."

Sachima nodded and asked:

"Is it alright to let the two girls go first? It's so late."

Not long ago, Jiang Shu had already sent Xue Wang and Boya away.

After leaving the final stage, Shaqima repeatedly hinted that what she was about to say was very important, implying that she only intended to tell Jiang Shu and that she wanted to discuss it with him.

At first, Jiang Shu didn't take it too seriously, until Shaqima inadvertently, or more likely intentionally, revealed something that Jiang Shu was very familiar with, which made Jiang Shu take it seriously.

Although Xue Wang was trustworthy, considering the relationship between Bo Ya and the Blueberry Dipping Sauce side, Jiang Shu felt it was indeed necessary for her to avoid the situation.

Since it seemed inappropriate to leave Boya alone, Jiang Shu simply made an excuse to have the two of them leave together first.

So when Jiang Shu heard Shaqima say such a thing, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Didn't you keep implying that I only wanted to talk to you, which is why I let them go back first? Now you have the nerve to ask?"

Sachima smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, but this matter is of great importance, so I have to be careful."

Jiang Shu didn't say anything more.

Ten minutes ago, he would have been skeptical and suspected that Shaqima's motives were impure, but now, he had no doubts whatsoever.

He simply said, "Take out that thing you deliberately showed me on the way here, and let me take a closer look."

Shaqima was taken aback.

What did I deliberately show you?

This left Jiang Shu bewildered: "Wasn't it intentional? I thought it was to gain my trust that he deliberately revealed it."

"?" Sachima asked hesitantly, "Can you describe it?"

"It's that little black thing inside your coat."

Sachima's eyes sharpened: "You noticed all that?"

Then, he cautiously observed his surroundings and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to see?"

“I need to confirm this,” Jiang Shu replied.

"Alright." Sachima had no choice but to pretend she couldn't do anything about it. She took out a black object from inside her coat, and while keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings to see if anyone noticed, she quickly stuffed it into Jiang Shu's hand like a candy candy.

"You have a very sharp eye."

Jiang Shu shook the lump of stuff expressionlessly, then laid a glistening black thigh-high stocking on the table.

"Why did you start unfolding like this?!" Sachima exclaimed in a panic.

"What I want is the badge you pinned inside!!"

After a while.

The stockings were snatched back by Sachima, and the black badge of the Bureau of Different Affairs, bearing the unique mark of the Execution Department, was placed in front of Jiang Shu.

"You should have said this was what you wanted to see earlier. Why did you use such a misleading way of saying it?" Sachima said awkwardly, taking one sip after another of her special drink.

"Who knew you carried that kind of thing with you?" Jiang Shu looked at him with disdain.

He's always like this; even if he's labeled as discriminating against minority groups, he never hides his strange gaze.

Seeing this, Sachima hurriedly explained, "That was given to me by my girlfriend. It's normal, right? When a boyfriend goes on a business trip, he gives his girlfriend things like stockings and underwear to carry with him as a talisman or something."

Jiang Shu was shocked: "Wearing this in the Hiroshima heatwave?"

"Damn it, it wasn't him!"

After another round of explanations, Jiang Shu finally accepted with some skepticism that Sachima and Hiroshima Reiwa were not actually in that kind of relationship, but rather that Sachima had a normal girlfriend.

Then the conversation returned to normal.

Sachima took back the badge and explained, "Actually, I was planning to show you this as proof of my identity so that you could dispel any doubts you might have about me."

Jiang Shu nodded, believing his statement.

Although the emblem of the Bureau of Different Principles Executive Department is already a symbolic icon among the evolved beings, and many people know about it, it is theoretically possible for it to be counterfeited.

However, Jiang Shu had already carefully examined it when he looked at it earlier, and it was indeed genuine. The special anti-counterfeiting mark of the Bureau of Different Principles could not be imitated by any organization or individual, and only insiders knew how to distinguish it.

However, this surprised Jiang Shu. His actions should have been secretly authorized and arranged by the bureau chief, and not many people should know about them. How could a colleague have found him?

If the bureau chief had any arrangements, why didn't he contact me beforehand?

As Jiang Shu was thinking this, Shaqima continued, "In short, even if you haven't had any contact with us, you should have heard of us. Now you should understand who I work for. So before I tell you the specifics, I have to remind you that as a law-abiding citizen, when we ask for your help, I think you should know what to do, right?"

Jiang Shu felt relieved.

Okay, so it turns out the other person didn't know I was a colleague, and was just trying to recruit me.

However... what kind of lowly scoundrels dare to defy their superiors and even dare to conscript men from me? They have some serious audacity!

Seeing that Jiang Shu remained silent, Shaqima secretly felt smug.

It seems the other party has been intimidated by my status, so things will be easier from here on out. Just state the pros and cons and express your needs as before, and the other party will definitely cooperate obediently.

Just as Shaqima was about to speak, she heard Jiang Shu's question.

Are you threatening me?

"Huh? No, when did I threaten you?" Sachima answered subconsciously.

"So what do you mean I should know what I should do? What, just because you have that kind of status, do I have to obey you unconditionally?"

Sachima was speechless for a moment, while alarm bells rang in her mind—

Oh no! My job!

Jiang Shu pressed on relentlessly, saying, "Even if it means becoming your dog, doing things against my will, or committing evil, I have to do it. Is that what you mean?"

"How could you think that..." Sachima smiled apologetically, intending to explain again.

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shu interrupted him, saying, "Do you think that as long as you reveal your identity, you become a master who is above ordinary evolved beings? That all evolved beings have to pay tribute to you and obey your orders unconditionally?"

"You're making a bit of an overreaction..."

"I only raised reasonable questions about your attitude. You just need to explain yourself. How did it become such a big deal? Are you feeling guilty and unable to explain yourself?"

Jiang Shu frowned:

"Then I'll ask you, who gave you the right to command and drive ordinary evolved beings? What is your unit? Who is your leader? I should understand what you mean by 'who you work for'. Who exactly are you serving?"

Sachima was so frightened that she cried, a chill running down her spine.

"That's not what I meant. I'm sorry, okay?"

Jiang Shu shook his head persistently: "I heard that you emphasize treating ordinary evolved beings with compassion, but to be honest, I haven't seen it."

"Brother, please spare me!" If there weren't so many people around, Sachima would have knelt down before Jiang Shu: "I really only investigated you and found that your background was very clean. After fighting with you, I felt that you could help me, so I thought I would see if you were willing to cooperate with me. I really didn't intend to force you, let alone order or drive you. Really, if I said anything wrong and made you misunderstand, please point it out and I will definitely correct it."

"Is that so..." Jiang Shu nodded slightly: "Then you should have said so earlier, why did you use such a misunderstanding?"

Sachima felt a pang of bitterness after being hit by the boomerang.
