No One Knows the Truth Yet / Snuggling Up

Director Abe's attempt to elicit sympathy failed to move Shuya or Li Shuhong.

Li Shuhong, too lazy to waste words, asked, "You heard our conversation just now, didn't you? Has anything strange happened in the Japan Administrative District lately?"

Director Abe immediately replied, "Really, no. I don't believe there's anything extraordinary about us that could attract the Spear God here."

After he finished speaking, he glanced furtively at Shuya: "To be honest, our Japan Administrative District has always been very peaceful, except for the fighting a few years ago..."

Are you blaming me?

Shuya shifted the blame. "I won't lie to you, all the conspiracy theories circulating outside are true. It was all my teacher's plan; I was just a small pawn."

"Holy crap, can you be any more of a pain? Haven't I been annoyed enough already?"

Li Shuhong immediately burst out laughing.

Director Abe's expression was complicated. "Well... I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything."

As the director of the Japan Supernatural Bureau, it's impossible that he didn't know what Shuya and Li Shuhong were talking about.

Li Shuhong is a top figure in the Great Hua Extraordinary Realm, and even in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a famous general who has already appeared in history books.

He made countless contributions in the world wars, and even after the establishment of the Earth Federation, when he retired from the military and retired from worldly affairs, his influence in various aspects will not simply disappear.

He has always had people from the Earth Federation serving him, and they almost always grant his requests.

In reality, everyone knew that this was a way of monitoring him.

The Earth Federation is not a monolithic entity; there are many factions within it.

It is well known that most factions in the West dislike him.

This was all because Li Shuhong had killed many important figures such as presidents, emperors, and generals of Western countries, which caused him to have enemies everywhere.

The descendants of those people had always wanted to take revenge on Li Shuhong, so they caused all sorts of trouble for him, hoping that he would make a foolish mistake and then send a large army and experts to take him down legitimately.

However, some people were wary of him, while others wanted to help him. Almost all the factions in Asia were close to him, and these two groups were locked in a stalemate.

In this situation, the opposing faction might at most send out organizations like the Vampire Protection Association to annoy him.

Li Shuhong is too lazy to cause trouble and has always kept a low profile. The only outrageous thing he does is care about wayward young women. He has very few scandals, so opposing factions have no way to attack him.

As he has maintained a low profile over the years, Earth Federation surveillance has gradually decreased.

However, the image he cultivated collapsed overnight after Shuya rose to power.

To understand the connection between these events, we must Amaterasu up the deceased Amaterasu again to criticize her.

First and foremost, it's no secret that the conflict between Amaterasu, the de facto ruler of the Japan supernatural world, and Li Shuhong is not a secret.

Since the establishment of the Earth Federation, the Japan Administrative District has always been an important bridgehead in the Western hostile faction's plan to deal with Li Shuhong.

But Shuya emerged out of nowhere, first unifying the Monster, then waging war against the gods, and finally defeating Amaterasu. Then he even joined forces with the Heavenly God Tenjin, who had an old friendship with Li Shuhong, to rule the Japan supernatural world.

The shift in the Japan supernatural community from anti-Lee to pro-Lee led to a dramatic change in the situation.

Everyone knows about Shuya's relationship with Li Shuhong, so his enemies naturally used this as evidence to make a big fuss.

Various conspiracy theories have emerged, among which the theory that "Inoue Shuya a pawn intentionally planted by Li Shuhong" is very famous.

They believe Li Shuhong has played a grand strategy.

He used Shuya to kill Amaterasu, indirectly subjugating the Japan supernatural world. When the time is right, he will rebel. At that time, Li Shuhong will start an army from Great Hua, Shuya and the Heavenly God will cooperate from Japan. They will swallow up Asia in a short time, then beat up Russia, kick Eastern Europe, and occupy half of the Earth Federation.

He will plunge the world, which has finally achieved peace, back into chaos.

Whether it's credible or not doesn't matter; as long as there's a plausible reason to attack Li Shuhong, that's enough.

Ultimately, these conspiracy theories are all baseless.

The opposing faction has always had a very simple idea: they simply want Li Shuhong dead.

Li Shuhong had always known about these ridiculous things, but he genuinely had no intention of causing trouble, which is why he had the Earth Federation send people to monitor him.

As for Shuya's matter, he didn't have much grounds to refute it. Back then, he did indeed have the intention of using him to kill Amaterasu, and to some extent, the opposing faction was somewhat right in exaggerating.

But he doesn't regret it.

As the saying goes, "If you endure it for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel cheated." Between continuing to feel aggrieved and seeking revenge, he didn't hesitate to choose to make himself feel better.

In this respect, he still possesses the traditional chivalrous spirit of seeking revenge and settling scores deep down.

Li Shuhong was extremely annoyed by these trivial matters, Shuya's words were like putting him on the hot seat.

He snapped, "Damn it, do you know how many people have wanted me to run for Speaker of the Federal Parliament these past few years? It's been driving me crazy... and you still have to say this!"

"Then why don't you just go and choose? I promise I'll fully support you."

Shuya's expression was serious; his acting was so superb that it was impossible to tell what was real and what wasn't.

Director Abe kept wiping away cold sweat.

He just wanted to work peacefully until retirement and didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

"Get lost! I said I wasn't interested when the Earth Federation was founded! Hey, you'd better not stay here. I'll talk to this guy myself."

Li Shuhong dismissed Shuya with a wave of his hand, clearly annoyed.

Director Abe, who was not entitled to have his name mentioned, gave a stiff smile.

"Alright, I'm off then. By the way, if you need anything while you're in Japan, just let me know or my team. We're all here for you! Good luck! Fly with confidence, teacher, your students will always be with you!"

Shuya obediently got up, put on the appearance of a loyal and obedient student, and left the bar. Only after leaving the bar did he reveal a sly smile that showed he had planned everything perfectly.

Li Shuhong, who was inside, rolled his eyes. Seeing Director Abe's thoughtful expression, he explained, "Don't actually believe him. That kid is incredibly ruthless; he's definitely getting revenge for the time I stabbed him six years ago!"

"I know him; I know his personality very well."

Director Abe continued to smile obsequiously, but no matter what he said, he would definitely report the conversation between Shuya and Li Shuhong.

Li Shuhong drank heavily in frustration, feeling that Shuya was a real scumbag.

Shuya's mood was the complete opposite of his; he was extremely happy.

As he walked out of the bar, all the members of the Supernatural Bureau focused their attention on him.

Several familiar-looking Monster were watching these people from the perimeter.

"Everyone, disperse. There's no need to stay."

Shuya waved to the Monster and leisurely walked away, humming a song.

This time, I was able to trick the teacher, which was incredibly satisfying.

Li Shuhong was right; he was seeking revenge for the bullet he received years ago.

"Hmph, if I can't beat you, I can still trick you? Feeling good."

Shuya's smile didn't stop until he got home.

After calming down, he continued to think about Li Shuhong's words.

There was something in the Japan Administrative District that gave him a strange feeling.

So what could it be?

Shuya waited a while, and the Monster left at the bar sent a report that Director Abe had not provided any useful answers.

In Director Abe's view, as long as Shuya cause any trouble, everything will be normal.

So... no one knows the truth yet.

At that moment, Ms. Shoko, who wished to remain anonymous, sneezed.

Section 582, 542 Stickers

I worked all day today, and we even got into a fight at the end, so Shuya didn't get home until very late.

After taking a shower, he didn't play games or anything like that; instead, he lay in bed dealing with the aftereffects of using the Curse.

He could easily utilize the Curse sealed within his body, but it came at a price.

He needs time to quell the backlash caused by using the Curse.

Fortunately, it didn't take him long, so he didn't have to spend too much time processing it.

In about an hour, he calmed the fluctuations of the Curse.

After finishing all that, he got a little sleepy, so he didn't play anymore and went straight to sleep.

Unfortunately, he had work scheduled for Sunday, so he couldn't sleep for long.

I took a nap for a few hours and got up promptly at seven o'clock.

I had arranged to go to Aoki Shin's place with Mai today to have a meeting with them to discuss the new drama.

Maeda Saori will also be attending this first meeting. She asked them to meet at the office entrance at 8 o'clock, and she would drive Shuya and Mai to their destination.

After Shuya finished washing up, he received a LINE message from Mai, who was asking everyday questions like "Are you up?" and "Have you set off?"

They chatted briefly on Line, then continued with their preparations.

At 7:45, Shuya and went out. Knowing he was going to meet outsiders, he took a little effort to fix his hair.

Then it took only a few minutes to fly from Chiba to the office in Tokyo.

"Shuya."

Good morning, Shu-chan.

Good morning to you all too.

Mai and Maeda Saori, who were waiting at the office entrance, greeted Shuya, and he returned the greeting.

Shuya gave Mai a quick look.

She was in full "business mode" today, dressed beautifully with perfect makeup. And recently, she became a superhuman, her enhanced physique making her even more beautiful.

"Shuya, why do you never dress properly?"

Mai moved closer, frowned, and casually straightened his crooked collar.

"No, this is... fashion?"

Shuya retorted.

You're just lazy.

Shuya joked, "Isn't it because you helped tidy up?"

"...?"

Mai paused, puzzled, and asked, "Did something good happen to you? You seem to be in a very good mood today?"

"Haha? I figured it out after all?"

Shuya couldn't help but smile; he was still laughing at how he had tricked Li Shuhong yesterday.

"I saw my martial arts teacher yesterday and got some revenge."

"Teacher? Ah... it's that person..."

Mai knew who it was.

"Yes."

Shuya nodded, he heard Maeda Saori let out a soft, strange laugh:

"Ooh."

"?"

Shuya looked over and found her staring at him and Mai, unable to contain her smile.

"Cough."
