Chapter 1069: A Truly Ruthless One?! This City's Object of Worship Should Change Hands!

Cheng Beixiao heard the words, his expression unchanged, turned and sat on the chair without saying a word.

Lian Shiqi, seeing this, suddenly felt a headache and immediately cast an apologetic glance at Su Yang.

"Take a short break; we'll discuss the battle plan in fifteen minutes."

"Alright."

The two squads gathered to rest on either side of the Statue.

Lian Shiqi mainly wanted to check Cheng Beixiao's injuries and soothe the subordinates.

Giving both sides some time, this is the best outcome.

It's also a buffer.

Lian Shiqi's side had eight people, and at this moment all stared at Cheng Beixiao with odd looks.

"I say, Brother Beixiao, why are you so clueless?"

"With your strength not lacking a single point from the Demon, why compromise and be conciliatory? Isn't it better to just defeat him outright?" one person asked, puzzled.

"Exactly, look at how arrogant the Demon was just now, I really want to…"

The latter half of the sentence remained unsaid, and he cautiously glanced toward the Statue.

In response, Cheng Beixiao's gaze was calm, and he said lightly, "I only want the Hidden Achievement; I don't care about anything else."

Hearing this, everyone silently marveled.

He truly is a ruthless person.

He will spare nothing to achieve his goal.

He could even tear off his own arm.

Such a person is ruthless to enemies and even more so to himself.

At the same time, Zhuang Wu also noticed the other's unfriendly gaze and lowered his voice, "I feel something's off."

"What do you mean?" Su Yang said, intrigued.

"'Blood Ghost' attitude is too straightforward, not very reasonable," Zhuang Wu said.

"I also find it strange; such a proud person would actually lower himself?" Yue Lan nodded slightly.

Cheng Beixiao and she came out of the same prison.

Though the two have never met face to face, the subordinates below had previously lived with him in the same prison.

The assessment of him was brief—arrogant, ruthless, decisive.

Almost anyone who matched him in the same game and survived would have a stress reaction upon hearing his name.

Such a being, yet willingly does this?

Could it be simply because cooperation can proceed smoothly?

"You're all wrong; his Cixian differs from the other seven, even completely opposite!" Wen Ran suddenly spoke up.

Everyone simultaneously looked at her, and Wang Defa asked curiously, "Did you 'smell' it?"

Wen Ran nodded slightly, her gaze complex as she looked at the back of Cheng Beixiao's head, "Among those eight, only he… showed no hostility or murderous intent."

"The other seven all want to put us to death!"

"Especially the Boss; Lian Shiqi's hostility toward you is extremely strong, almost overflowing."

?

Su Yang frowned, instinctively glancing at the loquacious Lian Shiqi.

At this moment, her brows showed strictness, yet also carried a hint of softness.

At first glance, she seemed like a stern-looking but actually soft-hearted homeroom teacher.

She was scolding a disobedient student.

Su Yang originally thought the same.

Now Wen Ran's words awakened him.

"Gao Zhiyi is colluding with the Law Enforcement Department; it seems the candidate is about to be called forth," Su Yang said slowly.

"Wait, the Blood Ghost has no malice? The others are brimming with murderous intent?" Zhang Tiancheng was startled.

"Yes." Wen Ran nodded.

"That can't be right..." Zhang Tiancheng grew more puzzled, "We have no feud with her, yet you have had conflicts with the Blood Ghost, and he even lost a hand."

"Why has the attitude reversed now?"

Lu Junsheng also wanted to know the answer to this question.

It's somewhat hard to justify.

"Could it be... your Innate Talent malfunctioned? Who on the field used interference?" Luo Qing asked.

"Only Cixian can interfere with Cixian, or perhaps someone on their side deliberately Reverse my Innate Talent result."

"But what's the benefit of doing that? Deliberately exposing their malice—could that be a good thing?" Wen Ran retorted.

Indeed...

Luo Qing grew increasingly confused, looking bewilderedly at Yue Lan.

"The Innate Talent is fine; the one at fault is the person!" Yue Lan Liu Mei frowned.

Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids and said calmly, "What seems the least dangerous is actually the most dangerous."

"People like Cheng Beixiao only see winning; he'll spare no cost to claim the Hidden Achievement."

"Our goal is the same as his, but such a thing can belong to only one."

"Compared to those who hide malice with feigned politeness, I'm more worried about a sudden electric cannon strike on you."

"Therefore... be extremely careful in the upcoming actions; everyone look after each other, and first guard against Lian Shiqi's small moves."

"Leave the rest to me!"

In response, everyone nodded gravely, indicating they understood.

If the Law Enforcement Department truly colludes with Gao Zhiyi.

Then this will be tonight's first round.

They do not know how Lian Shiqi will make a move.

But what is certain is…

She also wants to vie for the experimental results of Blue Whale Company.

Therefore the purpose here needs no doubt.

What truly must be watched is the small actions behind her.

As for the "Blood Ghost"…

Those who come in broad daylight are always superior to those who sneakily stab from behind.

"Besides, help me get in touch with Cai Xu; I have something to assign him," Su Yang said, looking at Yue Lan.

"He is in Luoshui Street, about Five Hundred kilometers from here," Yue Lan replied.

Su Yang said evasively, "It's far from Sunset District, but close to the TV station."

Yue Lan was puzzled.

Su Yang explained, "I have a friend who works at the TV station; she hasn't shown up for a while and hasn't tried to contact me."

"I guess she has some unspeakable secret, and perhaps wants to avoid getting involved in the Cause and Effect surrounding me."

"Thus sending Cai Xu to contact her is the best choice."

Sensing part of the intention, Yue Lan asked, "What do you want him to do?"

Su Yang said plainly, "Tell the TV station—tonight Sunset District has big news."

"I, the Demon, will break the century‑long class stratification with concrete action."

"I will let the whole city see how I purge Evil Spirit and sweep away the parasites!"

Yue Lan subconsciously glanced at the Bai Xiong Statue, a flash of brilliance in her eyes.

"You want them to switch to a different Faith?"

Su Yang curled his mouth, "The citizens of White Bear City have suffered oppression for ages; White Bear as their Faith cannot offer any help."

"This statue, eroded over many years, is merely a sham; it's time to choose a new candidate."

Yue Lan's eyes can 'see' things many cannot.

For example—

Su Yang's ambition!

She was secretly startled.

She never imagined Faith Value could be harvested this way!

"I'll handle this," Yue Lan replied.

"The TV station also needs news; I believe my friend has no reason to refuse," Su Yang said slowly.

"Are you so confident she'll help you?" Yue Lan asked curiously.

Su Yang chuckled lightly, gazing into Yue Lan's eyes, "Mutual assistance has always been just so."

"Including you…"

"You've helped me so much; I will find a way to repay you."

"For example—"

"Your missing Dependents."

"Especially—"

"The pregnant one!"
