Chapter 296: My Observation of Su Nian—ah no, it is Canary who has the bearing of Su Nian

"Oh."

Brahma responded with an expressionless face, indicating that he understood.

He then buried his head to continue processing his intelligence; as the staff officer and head of intelligence for the Heavenly Army, he was not as carefree as someone like Mata, who held the vast majority of the dirt on all of Little Garden.

The Heavenly Army's administrative affairs, both large and small, still required his handling, and he certainly did not count on that useless god Indra to be of any use at a time like this.

Hmm, if he didn't add to the chaos, that would already be something to be deeply grateful for.

"Hey, Brahma, you're just going to agree like that? Aren't you going to keep trying to persuade him?"

Having just been severely lectured and sporting two panda eyes, Indra looked at Brahma with great unwillingness.

"Persuade him to do what? Persuade him to help you take over the mess of the Heavenly Army?"

Brahma's calm, unruffled gaze fell upon Indra; for some reason, Indra felt a bit in the wrong at this moment.

"Besides, haven't we already completed the mission assigned by Buddhism?"

"Don't tell me you actually want Su Nian to help you take over the Heavenly Army and clean up your mess?"

"Ahem."

Indra coughed awkwardly twice, shifting his gaze away, not daring to look at Su Nian.

As for Uesugi Kenshin and Mata on the side, he dared even less to meet their gazes.

After all, in order to retire, he had almost sold them out, and having just been beaten, he truly felt a bit in the wrong now.

"I think this kid absolutely has the ability to clean up this mess of the Heavenly Army."

Indra picked his nose, looking at Su Nian with a lecherous expression, without a shred of consideration for Su Nian's feelings.

You trained your own daughter into this state, and you still want me to give you a good attitude?

Su Nian's actions were beyond the level of just a "yellow-haired" guy who deceived his rebellious daughter; this was completely more malicious, to the level where he must be dealt a heavy blow.

Also, this guy didn't even want to let Black Rabbit off? If he didn't put some pressure on Su Nian, he wouldn't be Indra.

He only had these two daughters and granddaughters in total, and both had been ruined by this kid.

Although he hadn't made a move yet, it was only a matter of time!

No one understood the thoughts of a boy of Su Nian's age better than he did.

"And perhaps, quite a few of the current messes were actually caused by this kid, who knows."

Indra said gloomily; he saw in Su Nian... ah, no, to be precise, he saw Su Nian's shadow in Canary.

Canary has the bearing of Su Nian!!

This kid looked law-abiding on the surface, but in the dark, heaven knows what disasters he had stirred up and what big schemes he had pulled off.

Although the commotion Canary caused was not small either, at least everyone was aware of it.

If one day Canary were to become well-behaved, that would be the most terrifying time.

And the most thought-provoking and terrifying thing was that Su Nian seemed to have been very well-behaved since arriving in Little Garden, yet Little Garden had never been peaceful.

Indra still hadn't figured out how this kid had quietly managed to become the Vice Alliance Leader of the Hydra after the Ouroboros reorganization.

According to rumors, the organizational structure, flag, and business philosophy of the Hydra were all created by this kid.

"Old Di, stop yapping over there, okay? I am clearly Little Garden's number one law-abiding citizen, alright!"

Seemingly touched on a sore spot by Indra, Su Nian pointed at Indra and cursed in a flustered manner.

"Since I arrived in Little Garden, I haven't even littered, and I often help women cross the street! How have I caused trouble?"

Although he secretly plotted to establish the Second Little Garden, attempted to resurrect the Dystopia, established the Demon King Alliance·Hydra, served as Humanity's Final Trial, orchestrated the God Slayer War, and schemed against the gods... but he was still a law-abiding good citizen of Little Garden, right?

Even Little Garden Central thinks what I said is very correct.

"You are slandering me, this is slander!"

Hearing Su Nian's words, Indra couldn't help but dig his ears, looking at Su Nian with an expression that said, "Do you think I believe you?"

Come, tell me first, how did that old dog Mithra die?

And tell me why Ares hasn't made any moves recently? Instead, Heracles succeeded him as the War God?

Indra muttered a few words in his heart, watching Su Nian's feigned "white lotus" act, and almost unable to suppress the urge to roll his eyes and vomit, he pinched his nose and said.

"Just answer me, give me a straight answer, are you willing to take the fall or not."

If Su Nian were truly willing, he would personally take action to help Su Nian realize the treatment Brahma mentioned, helping Su Nian become the Heavenly Emperor and sit firmly in the position of the Last King.

If he wasn't willing, then forget it; he would carry it himself, it wasn't like he hadn't carried it before.

"Not willing, your pot is too big, I can't carry it."

Su Nian looked at Indra speechlessly and said irritably.

"Come, let's talk about it: in the vast Heavenly Army, besides those present, how many can you actually command? I reckon you can't even command the Heavenly Army's War Weapons."

The so-called War Weapons are mass-produced Divine Spirits similar to Angels and Heavenly Gods, lacking selfhood and possessing only powerful combat strength.

Purely violent devices, often destroying the Outer Gate where the Demon King resides along with the Demon King himself in order to eliminate them.

Indra was left speechless by Su Nian's words; if the situation weren't truly this dire, why would he need to count on Su Nian to bring change to the Heavenly Army?

"A reminder: the Indra here can only command one."

Pfft!!

Brahma dealt Indra another blow.

"Although I'm sorry, but the one you're talking about wouldn't happen to be me, would it?"

Uesugi Kenshin pointed at herself and said somewhat awkwardly.

Although she felt sorry for her superior, whenever Uesugi Kenshin thought about how her advanced salary had all gone toward paying Indra's bail and prostitution fees, she felt her conscience was much freer.

"Alright, now there isn't even one left."

Brahma said with a hint of a smile.

Leaving behind only Indra, who had been struck by several knives and was slumped over the conference room table.

So this is what it feels like to be betrayed by everyone and left all alone?

Indra muttered to himself.

All he wanted now was to lie quietly in Mama-san's embrace; in this cold-hearted Heavenly Army, only Mama-san's embrace could bring him a sliver of warmth.

As for why he didn't say "married woman"? Because there really are married women here, and he would be beaten to death if he said it, even if he is Indra.

Watching Indra in this withdrawn state, Mata, as his subordinate and colleague, naturally raised her camera with delight.

She aimed it at Indra and started snapping pictures.

"Let me think, the headline for tomorrow's Spring Water Agency newspaper will be: 'Why is the Lord of the Heavenly Army so heartbroken? Taking you into the inner heart of Indra.'"

Mata said with a beaming smile.

"Hmm, it might just sell out tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the withdrawn expression on Indra's face instantly crumbled; if not for the consideration that he probably, perhaps, wasn't Mata's match.

Indra would have long since reached out to snatch the camera from Mata's hands.

Mata, I haven't treated you poorly, have I? Why can't you even spare me?

Heart-chilling, it is truly heart-chilling~~

"Alright, let's talk business."

Su Nian knocked on the table quite helplessly, signaling for Indra and the others to be serious, and please, stop destroying the filter he had for the Heavenly Army.

Although that filter had already been shattered for the most part.

"So, which branch of Buddhism issued this mission? Why are they so eager to set me up?"

But as he spoke, Su Nian's gaze kept drifting toward Indra.

After all, it was Indra who first proposed it to Su Nian.

After all, looking at Merit and contributions to Little Garden, there really aren't many who rank higher than Su Nian.

Just the battle record of Su Nian defeating Azi Dahaka and banishing Angra Mainyu—those two Humanity's Final Trials—is something few can match.

Not to mention that Su Nian currently possesses a massive inheritance; he is joining the group with his own capital, not here to divide their cake.

"The entire Buddhism."

Seeing Indra remain silent for a long time, Brahma spoke up to help Indra answer.

"Oh~, so it's the entire Buddhism?"

Su Nian narrowed his eyes, tapping the table rhythmically, producing a crisp sound.

For some reason, Indra felt a layer of goosebumps rise on his back at this moment.

Clearly, Su Nian is just a young man who hasn't even reached Four-Digit Exceptional, but why does he bring such immense pressure upon him?

"Tsk, I really am a hot commodity."

Su Nian clicked his tongue in annoyance; the feeling of being targeted by the entire Buddhism, wanting to strip his tendons and peel his bones, is truly unpleasant.

Although, if operated correctly, with the dual status of Lord of the Heavenly Army and Last King, he could at least become a Three-digit Exceptional.

Then there would be no need to care about the thoughts of those fake Buddhas and real demons in Buddhism.

This is also why his maternal family supports him.

But if he fails, he would truly be stripped of his tendons and peeled of his bones, and his family's inheritance would be carved up completely.

He would just become the next Indra.

However, in that case, he wouldn't have to worry about his conscience hurting when he sets up Buddhism.

It's just that the matter with the Cross Religion hasn't been dealt with yet, and Buddhism is already pressing in right behind.

Even Su Nian felt a hint of pressure.

"So, if you don't take the position, Buddhism probably won't let it go."

Indra said leisurely; things have reached this point, and it's no longer up to just one or two of them to decide.

Unless the one sitting on the Lotus Throne speaks, but that person just smiled in the end.

As for Su Nian's opinion... what opinion could he have? Succeed and reach the top in one leap; fail and just lose some worldly possessions.

It's not like they, this group of old immortals, would really be shameless enough to step in personally and drag Su Nian to ascend the throne, right?

Once the yellow robe is draped over him, wouldn't it be his turn to call the shots?

Unfortunately, Indra ultimately cannot understand Su Nian's thoughts; since the foundation laid by his ancestors has been passed down to his hands, then even if the ancestors were resurrected, they shouldn't think about snatching even a fraction from him.

"However, I still refuse."

Su Nian propped his feet on the conference table, biting on a toothpick, and said casually.

It's merely a Two-digit position; he is almost about to help two people reach it himself.

Is it worth him taking a second look?
