Their commission was suspicious.

“But I refuse,” Chen Luo said after glancing at Bai Zhi.

"Huh? You're refusing?" Bai Zhi was taken aback.

"My cousin is enough to protect me. She's an S-level talent user, and I don't usually go out much," Chen Luo said, pointing at Su Yuan.

"S-level talent... So what if I'm an S-level talent? I'm no worse than an S-level talent." Bai Zhi said somewhat unconvinced after hearing Chen Luo's reason for rejection.

Who isn't an S-level talent?

“But she’s an S-level talent user, the difference in combat power is obvious. You can definitely beat me, but you can’t beat him.” Chen Luo used Su Yuan as an example again.

“Emmm…” This time, Bai Zhi fell silent.

Although Bai Zhi knew that she was an S-level talent user and had few rivals in terms of lethality, she still couldn't defeat this sword immortal talent user.

The Angel of Death is a great talent, representing ultimate offense and the power of death. But it can't beat the Sword Immortal because it doesn't have enough time to develop.

The Angel of Death is aware of this.

“But Mr. Chen Luo, you still need a bodyguard, and according to principle, you must have an attacker by your side,” the recorder suddenly said.

"Is one mandatory?" Chen Luo asked.

“One must be provided.” The recorder nodded.

"Then let's go with her." Chen Luo ultimately chose Bai Zhi.

"Hmph." Although Bai Zhi was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Luo's constant changing of mind, she surprisingly did not refuse.

Chen Luo expected the other party to at least say a few polite words to him.

Bai Zhi's cold and ruthless way of cursing is also a unique kind of cuteness.

Moreover, Bai Zhi is not cold-hearted and doesn't have that kind of "three-no" attribute. Occasionally, she has done things like pretending to be pitiful in order to achieve a certain goal.

Chen Luo had met him before.

Then... Chen Luo lost half of his bravery reward money and bought the other person a game console.

When Chen Luo performed a heroic act (which increased his talent awakening progress), he knocked down a robber with a brick and received a reward for his heroic act.

This incident was even broadcast on television, so the bonus still needs to be paid.

Later, when Chen Luo went to see her, Bai Zhi seemed quite depressed, as if she had been through something traumatic.

After spending some time with Bai Zhi, perhaps because Chen Luo had saved her once, Bai Zhi started talking to Chen Luo, mentioning things like how her parents weren't good to her and how she dreamed of having a game console.

Chen Luo looked at the prize money he had just received and, with a heavy heart, spent half of it to buy a brand-new Switch and gave it to Bai Zhi.

However, it wasn't until Bai Zhi's parents brought her to their door to express their gratitude, presenting her with a set of top-quality Zisha teapots and 20 grams of Da Hong Pao tea from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, and Bai Zhi even bought a mountain bike with her own pocket money, that Chen Luo realized Bai Zhi wasn't poor.

That's right, the bike that Bai Zhi gave us was... the one that was lying in the warehouse, not the one Chen Luo was riding.

Because the car that Bai Zhi gave as a gift was actually pink!

Chen Luo really liked that bike because it was really comfortable to ride, but he couldn't ride the pink one outside, so his family spent money to buy him another one of the same color but a different one.

At the time, Chen Luo didn't know the price, but he knew it was very expensive.

So Chen Luo knew that this seemingly well-behaved and honest girl had gotten herself into serious trouble.

After learning more, Chen Luo discovered that her family wasn't poor or unkind to her; they simply didn't want her to play games.

Later, because the Switch was a gift from Chen Luo, who had saved her life, her parents felt embarrassed to take it back.

Although Chen Luo's family did make a fortune in terms of price alone, this shows that Bai Zhi is definitely not an ordinary, cold, beautiful girl.

She's very cunning.

Hmm? Why do you think Bai Zhi, who grew up in this environment, still occasionally uses polite language?

Don't Superintendent Chan and the mascot Swire also use vulgar language from Lungmen every day?

Moreover, Bai Zhi was really polite, she scolded people politely... When Chen Luo later went to see the suspect who robbed the bank, he personally saw Bai Zhi scold the suspect until he was furious.

Most of the time, it's polite cursing, often described as sarcastic or insincere, making you want to punch someone. Very rarely is it real cursing, instantly breaking your defenses.

"I said I wanted you to be my protector, but you don't have to come all the way to my house like this," Chen Luo said, looking at the girl following behind him.

Bai Zhi, the guardian, is responsible for protecting Chen Luo, an S-level support talent. However, since Chen Luo is always accompanied by his cousin Su Yuan, Bai Zhi is only needed in certain special circumstances.

For example, forming a team to go to the abyss passage or participating in some kind of battle.

"I've been to your house before, but this time I'm not really here to visit your house." Bai Zhi said, waving to Chen Luo who was standing at the door, before walking in another direction.

"Huh?" Chen Luo watched as Bai Zhi walked towards the villa where Xiao Ke'er was, then took out her key and opened the door.

"???"

……

"You mean Hela? She's my best friend, a close friend of that astrologer who has water divination skills. Since we're both from Xinghai City, we're pretty good friends. I originally wanted to recruit her into the church, but she refused," Xiao Ke'er said in the bar, facing Chen Luo's question.

"..."

"To be honest, when I was considering whether or not to take on this mission to monitor you, it was she who frantically urged me to come. She said things like, 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' and that it would be easy for me to take on this mission."

"As a result, when I submitted my application to the superiors of the Inquisition, it was approved instantly."

"..."

Chen Luo looked at Xiao Ke'er with a pitying gaze.

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, Yvette was the presiding judge of the Inquisition, while the Angel of Death, Bai Zhi, was the vice-presiding judge of the Inquisition... Could this Inquisition even try heretics?

The presiding judge and the deputy presiding judge are both heretics!

When the tiger is away, the monkeys are king. Didn't Xiao Ke'er's application go straight into the hands of the Angel of Death?

Chen Luo was wondering why the Inquisition had sent Xiao Ke'er, who was clearly an A-level talent but actually had no combat power, to monitor him.

It was all done behind closed doors! Absolutely all done behind closed doors!

"Boss, why are you asking about Hela? Let me tell you, she's very naive, don't even think about lying to her," Xiao Ke'er said.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo was unsure whether to tell Xiao Ke'er about Bai Zhi being the Angel of Death.

Forget it, let's not talk about it.

Sometimes being kept in the dark isn't necessarily a bad thing.

You're right, aren't you, Xiao Ke'er?

"I didn't expect their talent to actually be that of the Fate Master," Chen Luo muttered.

"How could that be false? If Hela had joined the Inquisition back then, with her abilities that are so closely related to the Angel of Death, she would definitely have become the Angel of Death's right-hand woman. She would have had a very bright future."

"Shouldn't a best friend help her friends fly together? Like taking me along," Xiao Ke'er said.

"Emmm..." Today was one of the days when Chen Luo was the most silent.

Chen Luo originally wanted to say that in addition to the S-level Death Angel talent, Bai Zhi really did have an A-level Fate-Controlling talent.

However, her interpretation of fate differs from her own.

The true effect of the A-level talent "Destiny Master" is "Controlling Fortune and Prosperity," which means judging whether one's luck is good or bad; it can be considered a type of divination ability.

Clearly, Bai Zhi had confused her two abilities, creating two different identities.

The truth is hard to discern, and even the ability to ask questions won't reveal any problems.

Now, the focus should be on discussing just how badly Xiao Ke'er was betrayed by her two best friends.

"Excuse me, but how many close female friends do you have?" Chen Luo asked.

“Three,” Xiao Ke’er said.

"Oh, that's alright." Chen Luo sighed.

This means that not all of your best friends betrayed you, but more than half of them did.

There's no need to say more about her best friend who has Mona's water divination talent; she's responsible for making empty promises to Xiao Ke'er.

Bai Zhi, her best friend, was in charge of carrying out the plan.

Although Xiao Ke'er will soon become an S-level talent with Chen Luo's help, it has to be said that this is not a very lucky thing.

However, Xiao Ke'er did indeed become an S-level talent.

For a moment, Chen Luo couldn't tell whether Bai Zhi wanted her useless best friend to monitor her and ensure her safety, or whether she simply wanted to trick her useless best friend.

"But what is your best friend doing back in Xinghai City this time?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"How would I know?" Xiao Ke'er shook her head.

"..." Chen Luo expressed his understanding.

Xiao Ke'er treated the other person as a best friend, but she didn't even know that the other person had another identity. From this, you can see just how bad Xiao Ke'er's counter-surveillance awareness is.

"Speaking of which, boss, your engagement to Yvette really shocked me, or rather, it shocked both the church and China. You have no idea how huge the waves it caused after it was announced!" Xiao Ke'er said excitedly.

"I'm really curious, boss, do you really like Yvette, or do you just want to marry her? Or did you just have a sudden lapse of judgment?" Xiao Ke'er asked with great curiosity.

"!!!" Chen Luo stared at Xiao Ke'er in disbelief.

Holy crap, you little cutie, how dare you bring up this topic in this bar?! *Starry Sea swears*

For a moment, Chen Luo wondered if his puppet-making ability had suddenly declined, or if Xiao Ke'er had some powerful backer who helped her remove her puppet-making ability. Otherwise, why would she plot against him like this?

After all, a doll-like human would never intentionally harm Chen Luo, the puppeteer.

But thinking about it carefully, is it possible that Xiao Ke'er is genuinely naive, rather than doing it on purpose?

"Boss, why aren't you saying anything? Just explain yourself, I think everyone wants to hear it. Don't you all agree?" Xiao Ke'er looked up at the group of people whose gazes suddenly focused on Chen Luo and who slowly stood up.

"Look, boss, everyone's really interested."

"Grandma, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Feeling the unsettling gazes coming from behind, Chen Luo was almost numb.

You've accomplished what even the S-class talent, the Warden, couldn't.

Besides, the S-class talent Warden only wants my abilities, but you want my life.

"Um... let me explain." Chen Luo turned his head to look at the crowd that was gradually approaching him. Among them, the adult-sized Mebius was the closest to Chen Luo and had already reached him.

Mebius's fingers gently stroked Chen Luo's hair; his fair and slightly cool fingers brought a touch of refreshing comfort to Chen Luo in the sweltering summer heat.

However, the chill emanating from Mebius made Chen Luo feel a bit too cold.

"Explain? Why should I explain? You're engaged, right?" Mebius said, patting Chen Luo's head.

"Ah, that's true, but there's more to it than meets the eye..."

“No need for any inside stories, you’re engaged… right?” Mebius’s fingers slowly moved down Chen Luo’s hair, gently tracing Chen Luo’s face, and finally lightly stroking Chen Luo’s neck.

"Let me tell you, Yvette and I weren't engaged yet, we just said we were going to get engaged, and I appeared as the River God at the time."

“But isn’t the River God you?” A faint purple lightning flashed around her, and Raiden Mei, whose eyes had turned purple at some point, sat down next to Chen Luo, put her legs on the table, and faced Chen Luo.

The scenery was beautiful, but the long legs of Raiden Mei, clad in white stockings, were also shrouded in faint purple lightning, giving Chen Luo the feeling that those long legs were about to kick him in the face at any moment.

The key is still high heels.

"Doctor, I've never heard of you being engaged," Fu Hua said quietly as she sat down on the other side of Chen Luo, opposite Raiden Mei.

"Chen Luo, do you have any melons?" Merlin's voice suddenly came from behind Chen Luo.

"Get lost." I'm surrounded by so many people right now, and you still want to gossip? You heartless bastard!

"Yes, yes, yes," came the raven's voice from the bar.

"Then give me one too," Yukari Yakumo's voice rang out.

"Ok."

"Ugh, you bunch of idiots who are just watching the show! Xiao Shi, come here and explain this to me, okay?" Chen Luo looked for help at the Herrscher of Knowledge who was sitting with Durandal.

“I think if you took my identification to the main world of Alo, Durandal, you might not be recognized.” The Herrscher of Knowledge said to Durandal, holding up her newly acquired identification, as if she hadn’t heard her.

After successfully registering as an S-level talent with the relevant authorities, Chen Luo completed his identity mission.

Those who understand the laws of nature also gain their legitimate status in the main world.

“Maybe it really is possible. I suddenly started thinking about what kind of identity I need.” Durandal nodded.

"Xiao Shi, what's going on?" Seeing Chen Luo's troubled expression, Fu Hua sighed and called out to the Herrscher of Knowledge with a soft heart.

Let's give Chen Luo a chance to explain.
