202 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 2)

This idiot!

Looking at the scarred man, who had started spouting crazy talk before his butt was even warm after coming in, the middle-aged man only felt a throbbing pain in both his temples.

Having stayed up all night, he had finally managed to brew back some confidence, but it had been cut in half by the "hot potato" sleeping at the door just now. Now, the scarred man was openly supporting this "hot potato" to take over as the new leader right in front of him. The remaining half of the middle-aged man's confidence was cut in half again.

Really... everything was originally moving toward the goal he had planned, so why did it suddenly start going so crooked?

"Hehe, Taige... senior, you're joking..."

While the middle-aged man was rubbing his temples in pain, Li Ang, who was being pestered by the scarred man, also couldn't hold it together, and the expression on his face stiffened.

You're rebels who have made the capital restless, can you be a little more reliable? How come you're trying to "bestow a yellow robe" the moment we meet, forcing me to take the top spot?

If I really end up becoming the boss after going undercover, how will the Director look at me when I go back? How will Yisha, who claims to be my fiancée and has been assassinated by rebels several times, look at me?

Don't mess around, okay? This job really doesn't suit me!

"Hehe, I don't tell jokes."

Taking another deep breath and greedily sniffing the scent on "Little Bajinsi," the scarred man, who looked like a perverted maniac, grinned.

"Awesome! This scent is truly awesome!"

"Just sitting next to you, I have the feeling of being held in the mouth by a tiger... Little Barus! Tell me the truth, do you have the certainty to kill me instantly?"

"Uh... my name is Little Bajinsi..."

"That's not important!"

Reaching out and patting Li Ang on the shoulder, the scarred man said with great enthusiasm:

"My nose tells me that you are a true strongman! Both your methods and your heart are strong enough. And don't look at how you're smiling at me now, but you actually look down on me from the bottom of your heart, and you also look down on Neisen!"

Ahahaha! That's right, this scent is exactly the same as Neisen's back then!

It's just a pity that he has changed his scent now, lost the fragrance on you, and turned into a pile of stinking dog shit! Little Bajinsi! You must maintain this, don't become as stinking as him!"

"Uh..."

I do look down on what you rebels are doing, and even more so on the leader who is directing you to mess around, but can this even be smelled?

Pondering the scarred man's words and discovering that they didn't seem to be entirely crazy talk, and that there seemed to be some other meaning, Li Ang became vigilant in his heart.

This maniac's ability... wouldn't it be something like beast instinct?

However, just as Li Ang was guessing the scarred man's problem and preparing to open his mouth to probe the other party's ability, he felt the hair on his back bristle slightly, and then his right ear caught a sharp wind sound.

"Pop!"

Amidst a sonic boom of displaced air, the burn-scarred man laughing at Leon leaned back slightly, dodging something aimed at his mouth; the strange object, carrying a fierce wind, went *thwack* as it embedded itself into the wall, causing a large patch of plaster to shatter and burst open.

This is... a lead pellet for a slingshot?

After seeing clearly what was embedded in the wall, Li Ang felt his shoulder itch slightly, remembering another lead pellet that had been shot from three kilometers away but still shattered his shoulder blade.

"Taige!"

After walking out from a small door painted in rainbow colors, the bald woman with a slingshot said with a face full of anger:

"If I hear you speak of Lord Neisen like that again, the next pellet will definitely be aimed at your temple!"

"Hehe, feel free."

"You!"

"Forget it, sit down first!"

After raising his hand to press down and making a gesture to calm things down, he just wanted to start the introduction, but saw three men and two women, five people in total, push the door open and walk in one after another behind "Little Bajinsi."

Looking at the other members walking in, Li Ang pondered slightly and discovered that these anomalous object holders among the rebels were distributed quite evenly.

The tall, scarred-faced Director of the Secret Investigation Bureau, the short man who stole bodies at the Laien Manor, the pot-bellied man who looked like a wealthy merchant, the thin young man—they were all there, tall, short, fat, and thin.

Next, the beast-like scarred man, the bald woman playing with a slingshot, the old woman with orange skin and crane hair, the ignorant little girl—this time, men, women, old, and young were all present.

And there were twelve anomalous object holders among the rebels. Apart from these eight people who were "tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, old, and young," the known ones also included the bandage woman whose bandages he had taken away, the heartbeat man who had been caught and sent to the headquarters, and that leader who could open doors everywhere...

So is there one person missing?

But strangely, just as Li Ang was looking at the big door, preparing to see who the twelfth rebel was, he heard the middle-aged man at the head of the table clap his hands and announce:

"Everyone, since everyone has arrived, let's begin."

Everyone has arrived?

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Although from a character perspective, he really wanted to know what the last anomalous object holder looked like, to facilitate the Bureau's subsequent arrests of these people.

But due to insufficient intelligence, worried that asking "Why is one missing?" would lead to the result of "Why would you not know how xxx is doing," thereby exposing his identity in advance, Li Ang honestly turned around, looked up at the middle-aged man at the head of the table, however...

"Little Bajinsi, can you answer me a question?"

Looking at Li Ang, who had been looking at the door before he spoke and only turned around after he said "everyone has arrived," the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a calm expression:

"You seem to think... that someone else would come in?"

"..."

Damn! I just turned my head a little late, and I'm already being suspected? You don't have persecution mania, do you!

"No."

Cursing the overly vigilant rebel leader twice in his heart, Li Ang shook his head and said with a normal expression:

"I was just curious about your ability, Leader. Just by opening and closing it, you can make people travel directly from such a distance. No matter how many times I see it, I find it especially magical."

"I see."

Hearing "Little Bajinsi's" answer, the middle-aged man nodded noncommittally, then stared at him and continued to ask:

"I thought you wanted to see her... By the way, it's been a long time since she came to attend a meeting. I almost forgot what her name was. Could you please remind me?"

"..."

Is this... starting to suspect me?

Hearing this question, which was equivalent to saying "I suspect you are a fake," Li Ang's heart skipped a beat.

"Leader, are you joking with me?"

Feeling the changing gazes of the rebels in the room, Li Ang frowned slightly, then while desperately pondering countermeasures, he tried to drag things out by talking nonsense:

"Yesterday, Uncle Owen told me that you seemed to have hostility toward me. I thought he was just drunk, but now it seems you really..."

"Stop, those can be discussed later."

Interrupting "Little Bajinsi's" stalling, the middle-aged man said word by word:

"I just want to know now, her name, what is it!"

"..."

How the hell would I know what that person is called?

Feeling the gazes cast upon him becoming increasingly unkind, Li Ang sighed. Just as he was about to give an answer of "I don't know" and then enjoy the rebel's binding package, his heart moved, and he remembered what the middle-aged man had just said.

"I thought you wanted to see her..."

So this last anomalous object holder is... an acquaintance of mine... or rather, Little Bajinsi's?

Considering Little Bajinsi's isolated personality, his social circle was likely not even enough to fill one hand, so the identity of this person could likely be locked onto the fat uncle's family.

And last night, the fat uncle knew that staying behind might be dangerous, but said they couldn't leave. Even if he and Aunt Fenni could leave, but...

"Nicole."

Holding the excellent attitude that regardless of whether the answer was right or wrong, the answer sheet definitely couldn't be left blank, Li Ang looked up to meet the middle-aged man's scrutinizing gaze and bluffed with a straight face:

"Her name is Nicole." ===== CHAPTER 204 =====

Adopting the excellent attitude that regardless of whether the answer was correct, the answer sheet must not be left blank, Leon looked up to meet the middle-aged man's scrutinizing gaze and, with neither right nor might but plenty of bravado, spouted nonsense:

"Her name is Nicole."
