"You're insane!"

The Grand Consul's eyes widened.

"Leaving aside whether the World Will will recognize you, Elder Xu will definitely be furious."

The Saber King said calmly, "What are you thinking? I never said I was going to kill him."

Life is full of unexpected events; even an ordinary person could be hit and killed by a car while walking down the street.

The Grand Consul said in a deep voice, "I advise you not to do this."

The Saber King said indifferently, "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. I haven't even determined Chosen One yet."

The Grand Consul frowned slightly. "So what exactly are you trying to achieve by causing trouble for so long?"

The Saber King explained, "You can think of it as grinding reputation."

"I've killed so many small fry, it's time to catch the big fish."

" The Twelve Zodiac Signs appeared in Pearl City last night. If I kill a few of Constellations, will the guild leader show up?"

"If I were to kill the guild leader, my reputation would skyrocket, and gaining the approval of the World Will wouldn't be impossible."

The Grand Consul remained silent for a long time.

You're even more extreme than Yao Yuan.

Having said that, the Grand Consul turned and left.

The Saber King stood up, stretched his neck, and then swaggered out of the interrogation room.

In the lobby on the first floor, the clerks were busy at work.

The Saber King walked straight to the gate, and everyone else acted as if they hadn't seen him.

Looking up at the sun, the Saber King murmured, "The weather's nice."

With a flick of his wrist, a bronze compass of very ancient material appeared in his palm.

"Chosen One, let me see where you are."

A moment later, a flashing green dot appeared on the compass.

The Saber King muttered to himself, "In the direction of Pearl City...?"

"It's on my way."

Putting away the compass, the Saber King tore open the void before him and strode forward.

Damn it!

The Virgo smashed everything in the house that could be broken to pieces.

Ram, Fishes, and Ma Yan stood aside and watched him perform silently.

Fishes are already used to this.

Since he came to Sea Capital, Virgo has been habitually going crazy.

Ram said to Ma Yan beside him, "See, I told you, Virgo isn't right in the head."

Ma Yan really wanted to say, "You're not exactly normal either."

Ma Yan and others were also present during the battle at the bridge last night.

They did not show themselves; they merely observed from a distance.

Upon seeing Qin Ze, Ma Yan was extremely excited.

When Virgo was about to attack Qin Ze, she almost went berserk if Qin Ze hadn't teleported her in time.

The Ram standing nearby was startled and kept repeating "avoid arrogance and impatience."

Since their last meeting at the research institute, the two had not seen each other for several months and had rarely been in contact.

The last time Ma Yan called Qin Ze was the last time.

Ma Yan was very happy to see Qin Ze become a martial artist.

A martial artist doesn't have to live like an ant; they can control their own destiny.

However, Ma Yan was still very worried because Qin Ze had become involved in Virgo's scheme, which was extremely dangerous.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to contact Qin Ze and ask him to return to school as soon as possible.

" Fan Mingjie has completely exhausted my patience."

"Next time will be his death day."

Virgo have a cold expression.

Fishes said, "He can activate his Shelter Space at any time and run away whenever he wants; there's nothing we can do about him."

Virgo said coldly, " The Source of the World he possesses isn't unlimited. The fact that he's so eager to trade with us, and keeps raising the price, shows that he's desperately short of Source of the World. His Shelter Space can't stay open indefinitely."

"I obtained a Martial Artifact from the guild master, specifically designed to counter Shelter Space."

"If he dares to drive, he's not far from death."

"Release all the rats and let them contact Fan Mingjie to schedule the next transaction."

"This time, I'm determined to win."

Shelter Space are indeed a very annoying thing.

If Fan Mingjie hadn't possessed the Source of the World, Virgo wouldn't have kept dragging things out with him.

"I have a question," Aries suddenly said. "What do we need that battery for? Are we going to venture into the technology field?"

Upon hearing this, Fishes rolled his eyes.

Aries ' brain is indeed only the size of a walnut kernel; expecting them to think is simply a pipe dream.

Virgo grinned. "The battery is crucial for the next step."

Ram asked curiously, "What operation?"

Virgo spread his arms and drew a circle. "An action enough to overturn Sea Capital, enough to overturn the entire continent!"

"If I succeed, I could even be promoted to a higher position based on this achievement."

Fishes pursed his lips.

He was even promoted to a higher position, a sixth-ranking official.

Several dishes, and you're this drunk.

"I'm going to rest. Let me know as soon as Fan Mingjie has any news."

The Virgo walked into the bedroom with the gait of a cat.

As night fell, Qin Ze and his companions, who had originally planned to go out for a stroll, were forced back to the hotel by a sudden curfew.

Huai Xu muttered to himself, " Pearl City is supposed to be a tourist city, yet they have a curfew so late at night. How interesting."

Wen Jing said, "During the day, the atmosphere on the streets was a bit strange; many martial artists were out on the streets."

Qin Ze stretched and said, "Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

Late at night, the three Dharma King quietly climbed through the window into Qin Ze's bedroom.

"Oh, you're meditating? That's rare."

Upon seeing Qin Ze sitting cross-legged on the bed, the Dharma King couldn't help but tease him.

Qin Ze opened his eyes and said helplessly, "What you see on the surface is only the glamorous side of a genius, but you don't know how much effort he puts in behind the scenes."

The clones. "..."

Brother Devour a chair and sat down. "I have news about Brother Jie."

Qin Ze said, "Tell me in detail."

Brother Devour slowly began, "Our people have been monitoring every corner of the old city all day."

"Around 9 PM tonight, Brother Jie will show up and meet with the Virgo."

"The brothers were afraid of being exposed, so they didn't dare to get close, and we couldn't hear what they were saying."

"I rushed to the scene immediately, intending to subdue him right away."

"However, this guy was very alert, he kept the crystal ball in his hand the whole time, and he escaped by opening Shelter Space."

"An hour later, a message spread throughout the Black Market."

"Tomorrow night at midnight, Brother Jie is holding an auction at a stadium in the old town. The item for auction is that battery."

Qin Ze smiled and said, "I must say, Brother Jie has a good business sense; he didn't put all his eggs in one basket."

Brother Devour continued, "Tomorrow's auction will only accept one type of item called crystal, and that's it."

Brother Devour took out a shiny stone, about half the size of a baby's fist.

Qin Ze took it and examined it for a while, but apart from being pretty, he didn't find anything special about it.

Brother Devour explained, "I've inquired about it. This thing is the universal currency of Myriad Races; you can buy anything you want on the Myriad Races Black Market."

Qin Ze understood what Brother Jie meant: this guy wanted to use the Shelter Space as cover to sell the batteries for a profit and then run away.

But is it really possible to escape?

(Dialogue is a form of expression that can make the plot transition more smoothly. The main body and the clone share everything. What the clone knows, the main body will know immediately. But expressing it in the form of dialogue adds a bit of fun. Let's not nitpick about this.)

(And since the protagonist is mentally ill, his talking to himself is quite reasonable.)
