Don’t worry—I won’t hurt you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liar! In just minutes, you’ve already hurt me countless times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though severed from her core, through her brief encounters with Leon, the newly born Filia—barely a month old—made a judgment without calculation, purely by instinct:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being near this man will bring misfortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, keeping me with you is dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her supercomputing core, Filia could only rely on her human brain, struggling with a clumsy attempt at self-preservation, her face pleading pitifully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The information chip in my head triggers detection the moment you come within range. So just let me go—I promise I won’t hold today’s incident against you… If you absolutely must keep me, at least hide me somewhere safe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I have a way to solve this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at her, Leon called the female journalist over and gently said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lean against this sister. I’ll use an anomaly to remove your chip—you won’t be detected anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done for… now I’ve got zero excuses left…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Leon’s words, with no cards left to play and her external brain temporarily offline, Filia plunged into utter despair. Under Leon’s urging, she sullenly buried her head in the journalist’s chest, her face stiff, silently vowing inside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I reconnect with my core, I’ll build a machine that strikes your neck a thousand times per hour, drop you down below, and pound you mercilessly—returning a thousandfold every blow you gave me! Then I’ll build another machine to slam your back…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold tight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware that someone already had his neck in mind, Leon retrieved the [Silver Shearing Dagger] from the Mirror World and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move—I’m going to cut now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? Cut what does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Leon’s words, Filia froze, instinctively turning her head—and was utterly horrified to see Leon holding a gleaming little knife, slicing toward the back of her skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out an involuntary scream, the emerald-eyed girl thrashed wildly, shrieking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said you’d use an anomaly to remove it! Why are you using a knife?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This knife is my anomaly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing her neck to stop her struggles, Leon soothed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax—this blade definitely… should be not too painful, uh… maybe a little painful, but it can slice things open while they’re still alive, so you won’t die—I’m quite confident about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you’re still going to cut open my skull, you bastard! Who just said you wouldn’t hurt me? Was that a dog?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! No! I don’t want my head cut open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop wriggling! It hurts a bit, but I’m saving you—just endure it… Hey, fine, you hold her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was his first time using the [Silver Shearing Dagger] on someone’s occiput, and considering the brain’s delicacy—and Filia thrashing violently—Leon released his grip and handed her neck to the journalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the journalist’s iron grip settled, Filia’s terrified expression as Leon parted the hair at the back of her skull, pushed the two braids adorned with duck clips aside, and gently pressed the cold tip of the Silver Shearing Dagger against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No no no! Don’t! Aahhh!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the shame-faced captain of the guard, Prince Andre—normally expressionless—stared wide-eyed, leaping up from his recliner in rare agitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-My sister was kidnapped? Even her chip didn’t react?!?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Prince Andre…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain knelt on one knee, head bowed, eyes filled with remorse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Following Princess Filia’s orders, we kept our distance to avoid disturbing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything went smoothly at first—the guards on patrol noticed nothing unusual. But then, for some reason, Prince Leon suddenly went mad and began… began beating Princess Filia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the emerald-eyed girl with tear-filled eyes, the captain clenched his teeth, veins bulging:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That bastard’s an anomaly holder—we charged in and vines sprouted from the ground, tripping us. Then those two Clearance Bureau agents were captured too. We… we did nothing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twin Branch agents were captured too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Andre frowned, then coldly demanded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then? Where did they take Filia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still investigating…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain muttered, ashamed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They used some unknown anomaly—just brushed it over their collar—and vanished. We couldn’t tell how they disappeared…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. This isn’t your fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing his eyes briefly, Prince Andre’s agitation subsided. His face turned blank:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kidnapping was premeditated. The culprit has a prince’s cover. With intent against ignorance, it’s natural you didn’t foresee it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, those two are anomaly holders—and since they captured Clearance Bureau agents, they’re clearly powerful. You’re ordinary people—you couldn’t have stopped them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I’m ashamed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Keep investigating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismissing the captain, Prince Andre—his face grim—had his room door shut, then sat silently on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a soft laugh echoed in the empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought he’d actually captured Atifi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing toward the embassy through the balcony window, Prince Andre closed his eyes again, slumping lifelessly into the chair as if boneless, only the tip of his right index finger tapping rhythmically against the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tap. Tap. Tap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering how, yesterday at the airfield, that man Leon had looked at him—with a strange, predatory gleam. That gaze: part thief spotting gold, part predator spotting prey—made his skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I changed my mind—abandoned my duty to escort him, and came back early. And now, seeing he kidnapped Atifi… I’m glad I ran when I did.\u003C\u002Fp>",975,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b8c534fd5b08298fce85eeef7017c68a44c400e18dea73a2b2dce842fb4dd6c2","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-913","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-911",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
