Is competition to be someone’s pet really this fierce now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s lying to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being brutally betrayed by his own heart, and facing vicious competition, the Black Goat’s fury surged, and he hissed at Leon:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Pride! Based on what we know of it, this thing would never be this obedient—it’s probably just calming you down so it can sneak a report to the Clearance Bureau! Move now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『You?!?!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Leon suddenly narrow his eyes and grip the pendant again, the 【Heart of Ambition】, betrayed without mercy, erupted in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I was split into seven pieces, I was unquestionably number one—you, you piece of trash, only ranked third because fourth was Sloth, who was too lazy to even fight you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re just a pathetic third-place loser who got to a suitable host first! When you met your elder, you should’ve handed him over obediently—not scheming to turn him against me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve forced me into this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being thoroughly disgusted by his third-place underling’s dirty tactics, the 【Heart of Ambition】 sneered as he raised his bid:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Besides these damned horns, I’ve spent years tracking down the whereabouts of the Stomach and the Tail!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『If you erase its will and let me become your heart, I won’t just obey you completely—I’ll even tell you where those two items are!』???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, are we still competing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Leon’s expression soften slightly, and realizing the situation was turning dire, the Black Goat shuddered violently and rushed to raise his offer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I need to tell you where the others are? Once Leon climbs to the top of the Clearance Bureau, we’ll have plenty of ways to get others to investigate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, how dare you compare yourself to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve spent years working with—or rather, alongside—the Clearance Bureau, always by the side of the Head of the Zodiac Division, gathering countless secret records and uncovering untold mysteries!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the Black Goat stole a glance at Leon’s soul and noticed it was tilting back toward him—he exhaled in relief and pressed his advantage:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon! If you crush it, I’ll answer every question you have from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve always wondered about Emma’s past and that red-haired woman’s history—erase its will, and I’ll tell you everything right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You! Bastard! I can give him money! Power! A chance to reach the pinnacle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hilarious. All those things are trash before absolute power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you’re the trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re trash! You’re the trashiest! You’re trashier than that thing that got blown up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two pieces of offal tear each other apart in a frenzy over who would be his pet, Leon fell silent for a moment, then quietly made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children choose one; adults take them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop arguing. The heart is never going to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Class-A Clearance Bureau scripture on par with the *Emma’s Remnant Scripture*, the third rule of *The Director’s Manual for Training Anomalies* states: Never trust any sentient anomaly, no matter how obedient it appears—always retain skepticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after it offers a seemingly irresistible condition—you must constantly remind yourself that anomalies are born from extreme obsession and trauma, often fragments of outer gods or demons. To believe them is to commit a crime against yourself and this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After silently reciting his summarized *Director’s Training Manual* several times and suppressing the urge to agree, Leon felt the overwhelming disappointment radiating from the 【Heart of Ambition】’s soul and cautiously proposed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… if you’re willing to cooperate and prove this whole affair was orchestrated by Bobby Rayne, then after the Bureau inspects you, I can reapply to reclaim you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Good! Ahahaha! Good! Good!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hadn’t achieved instant ascension by replacing Leon’s heart, the 【Heart of Ambition】 was overjoyed, repeating “good” several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for when he’d truly ascend… Hehe , once Leon used him a few times and experienced the absolute dominion he offered, the boy would eventually beg for him to become his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leon! Didn’t that red-haired woman tell you something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the 【Heart of Ambition】’s smug satisfaction, the Black Goat, losing his top dog position, cried out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you believe a demon? You need to be ruthless now! If you don’t erase it, it’ll turn around and report to the Clearance Bureau—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. I shouldn’t trust demons’ words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the Black Goat’s soul, oozing malice, Leon gave a weary look and reminded him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And didn’t you forget? When I hold you, I have soul vision—and I see clearer than you do. If it were lying, I’d have known already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having exposed the first dog’s scheming and silenced him, Leon placed the designated second dog back onto Bobby Rayne, then looked down at his blood-soaked coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d arranged the motive, the method, and the collusion with the Black Goat, bribed the last witness—now the only unexplained thing was why he’d lost so much blood but bore no wounds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Leon scanned the room, found a relatively clean spot, lay down, then gripped the Holy Spirit pendant tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A performance must be complete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tap tap tap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knocking on the Director’s office door, the short man rubbed his hands eagerly and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… I don’t really have anything urgent—I just wanted to ask, how long until the guy who appraises items gets back on duty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hasn’t little Leon arrived yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the short man’s question, the red-haired Director furrowed her brow slightly—but after sensing the condition of her hair strand, her expression smoothed out, and she replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was on an external assignment yesterday, tracking down an anomaly. He hasn’t returned yet—probably found something and stayed up all night investigating. He should be here soon if the mission’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good… heh, by the way, what was his assignment? My ‘friends’ are all idle—maybe I could help…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Jerry, you’re unusually kind to new recruits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing exactly what the short man was thinking, the red-haired Director chuckled teasingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you won’t be able to help—he’s on a routine investigation. He’s inexperienced, yes, but Leon is steady and reliable. I trust him completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1081,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","064042c99a9f543911fcd430819dcc38c84bac5ee0d406e846088bda391fe8f2","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-108","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-106",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
