What Jiang Xia hadn't expected was that after connecting to Doctor Utsumi's phone and checking his activity logs, he made another unexpected discovery.
"The Organization Bounty Forum?"
As Jiang Xia looked through the records Noah had transmitted, he felt excluded. "Why can't I see a single bounty? I'm an Organization Cadre with a Codename—my clearance should be high enough."
Although he had long known that the Organization had plenty of strange websites, Jiang Xia had never paid much attention to this one.
—Because whenever he logged in, he never saw any useful information. For a time, he had thought the Organization members were simply cautious and disliked communicating online, so this was just an abandoned Bounty Board.
