Chapter 1735: Shivering with Anger

~7 min read 1,355 words

Execution Agency headquarters, inside the Legion Commander's office.

Su Xiao rested his feet on the desk, leaning back in his chair for a nap. With injuries, the Execution Agency headquarters was the safest place.

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, lying on the sofa, barked, meaning he was hungry and asked Su Xiao what to eat so he could bring it back.

Just as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang reached the office door, the door was pushed open with a bang. Harold, with a face as dark as water, walked into the room. Behind him followed Madam Nancy and a one-eyed officer, and at the very back were two black-armored guards. These two gave Su Xiao a dangerous feeling. As guards of the Monarch, the combat power of these two would certainly not be low; otherwise, Sin would have assassinated Harold long ago.

In the past, when there was something, Harold would summon Su Xiao, but this time he came in person without any notice.

Madam Nancy, walking behind, blinked. Looking at that expression, it was clear she had just been scolded to the point of being dog-blood-sprinkled. As for the one-eyed officer walking alongside her, Su Xiao had seen him once; this was the Minister of the Seventh Department, Gask.

Gask was a big shot in the Empire, but he was now slightly lowering his head, with an expression like he had lost his father.

Harold sat opposite the desk, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it in one gulp, regardless of whose cup it was, without the calm and composed demeanor of the past.

Su Xiao noticed that Harold's hand was shaking, shaking uncontrollably. Clearly, he was shivering with anger.

"How is it on your side?"

There were no outsiders in the room, so Harold asked directly about matters related to the Eye Chamber.

"Found five. The subsequent eleven are only a matter of time."

"Confirmed the total number of Eye Chambers?"

Harold's expression softened a lot.

"Confirmed, sixteen in total."

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

"……"

Silence, deathly silence. After a moment, Harold spoke in a deep voice: "Have you received news about what happened at the cemetery?"

"Cemetery?"

Su Xiao looked at Harold in confusion. Wasn't the other party dealing with the councilors? Instead, he thought of something.

"Recently, I've been searching for Eye Chambers, and I haven't paid much attention to intelligence unrelated to the Ghost Ring."

"Is that so."

Harold picked up the teacup again. Bonnie, standing by the desk, immediately stepped forward to serve tea and water. How could she, being smart, not see that Harold was like a powder keg now?

"Something happened at the cemetery. My ancestor's grave was..."

Harold's hand shook even more violently. Su Xiao immediately entered the shadow actor state. He didn't even need Harold to say it; he vaguely guessed what was happening. He had provided the intelligence of Xiu Losnanle to the three brothers of the National Football team earlier, and Xiu Losnanle was Harold's ancestor.

Clearly, the National Football team had gone grave robbing and been discovered. But what Su Xiao couldn't figure out was why Harold came to him for this matter? As for Madam Nancy, the other party had absolutely nothing to do with this matter. The only unlucky one should be Gask, this minister.

"You..."

Harold looked Su Xiao up and down. Su Xiao's expression remained as usual.

"Bonnie, help me up. I slept, and my legs are numb."

"?"

Bonnie was a bit confused, but still stepped forward to help Su Xiao sit up straight. Seeing this scene, Harold narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Nancy, Gask, I'll settle accounts with you later."

Madam Nancy and Gask turned and left the office. Just as they turned, Madam Nancy showed a gnashing-teeth expression. She was very depressed. She hadn't done anything, but after being summoned by Harold, she was given a harsh scolding.

"Bonnie, you go out too."

Su Xiao rubbed his legs. With his physique, it was impossible for his legs to go numb.

When everyone else was out, Harold spoke in a low voice:

"You're injured? Very serious?"

"Very serious."

Su Xiao calmed his breathing. He had just sat up straight, which caused a faint stinging pain in his lower abdomen. As for letting Bonnie help him sit up just now, it was because when he met Harold earlier, Harold was lying on the bed after being assassinated, and he also let that red-haired man help him sit up. And today, Su Xiao's expression and actions were exactly the same as Harold's that day. Harold immediately guessed what was going on.

"Then the Eye Chamber matter?"

Harold's expression was somewhat ugly. The situation in Zuer City was a bit bad right now. There were three people who couldn't fall: Su Xiao (Legion Commander), Harold (Monarch), and Gask (Minister). If any one of them fell, it was unknown how many wild Phantom organizations would emerge.

"No problem, at least no problem before I die."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette. They were all grasshoppers on the same rope now. He wasn't afraid of Harold discovering anything. Even if he settled accounts later, he would have returned to Reincarnation Paradise by then.

"If your injuries have stabilized, go to the cemetery as soon as possible. I'll have someone send you special medicine later. You can't die now."

Harold didn't say anything else and got up to leave.

Su Xiao stood by the window, watching the dozen or so people walking away in the courtyard below. He still couldn't figure out what the National Football team had done.

"Xiang Bubu, let's go, to the cemetery."

"Woo~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang protested silently. He was very hungry, but he followed Su Xiao out of the office happily.

Su Xiao didn't bring Gus and the others. They only needed to search for Eye Chambers. When Su Xiao arrived at the Tranquil Cemetery, he found that this place had been sealed off layer by layer by the Seventh Department.

Passing through three checkpoints, Su Xiao entered the cemetery. Just as he arrived, he saw a huge tombstone inserted upside down into the ground, with a large area of moist mud nearby.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao couldn't help but think that those three idiots from the National Football team had blown up Xiu Losnanle's grave? If that were really the case, after the National Football team was arrested, he would fight for the interrogation rights to the greatest extent—not to protect those three, but to avoid being sold out. After all, he was the provider of the intelligence.

Walking to a grave pit, Su Xiao squatted down. This time he was certain that the National Football team hadn't blown up Xiu Losnanle's grave, but had encountered an enemy here.

Several white-green energy spears were inserted into the grave pit, slowly dissipating. Seeing this, Su Xiao immediately thought of Sin, which made him even more confused. How could Sin appear here? Could it be that both sides came to rob the grave and happened to meet? Or was it that Sin was hiding here and was dug out by the National Football team?

Squatting in front of the grave pit, Su Xiao opened the native world contact platform. This was the only way he could contact the National Football team. The two sides were only intelligence trading; it was impossible to leave private contact information.

Inside the native world contact platform.

Bai Ye (Leader of Dawn Adventure Team): "If you don't want to be wanted by the whole city, arrive at the Execution Agency headquarters before 1:00 PM."

Yan Yu (Freelancer): "Yo, Legion Commander Bai Ye finally shows his face."

Gulu (Phantom Troupe): "Why are you here too, and those three idiots, bad luck, can't you just let me 'single player' happily."

Eldest of National Football Team (Leader of Dark Forces Adventure Team): "Brother Bai Ye, long time no see."

……

Seeing the reply from the eldest of the National Football team, Su Xiao closed the native world contact platform and turned to walk out of the cemetery. ===== CHAPTER 1736 =====
