Chapter 1750: Is There Any Benefit?

"What you're worried about is nothing more than Jiutun, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly; Xingzi had beaten around the bush so much, it was clearly just to get him to take action against Jiutun.

"Yes, we have our own official organization, but it is quite secretive, much like the Dragon Breath of your Huaxia, unknown to the world. These people can stand against the Onmyoji, but we have no way to deal with the Jiutun behind the scenes. So, Mr. Chen, I would like to ask for your help." Xingzi bowed deeply. "Please."

"Is there any benefit?" Chen Yu asked.

"Mr. Chen, you may state whatever conditions you have; I can make the decision on behalf of our minister." Xingzi nodded.

She did not feel surprised at all by Chen Yu setting conditions; on the contrary, she felt these things were only natural. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and others have no obligation to help you.

Therefore, she wanted to ask for Chen Yu's help, and she felt it was reasonable and not at all excessive for Chen Yu to take this opportunity to put forward his own demands.

"Ha, you are much more open-minded than Kawana." Chen Yu laughed. "If it were her, and I took this opportunity to set conditions, she would definitely think I was taking advantage of the situation. She believes that if I have the ability, I have the responsibility to resolve these matters."

"Kawana is a person with ideals and ambitions. Her nature is not bad; it's just that she is still too young and has never suffered any setbacks since she was a child." Xingzi sighed slightly. "So she doesn't know how to deal with others. Give her some time, and she will grow."

"Yes, give her some time, and she might grow up, but not everyone will indulge her. Your education of her is a failure; at least when instilling certain concepts in her, you didn't tell her how sinister the human heart can be." Chen Yu shook his head slightly.

"She will grow up. Mr. Chen, what are your requirements? You can bring them up. Because we cooperated very happily last time, the minister has fully entrusted me with this matter this time. I can agree to your requirements directly." Xingzi looked up at Chen Yu.

"Let's wait until I think of something." Chen Yu pondered for a moment. "Just consider it as you owing me one for now; I will come looking for you when I think of it."

"Very well, this agreement is valid forever. Whenever you think of it, we will go and handle this matter for you." Xingzi nodded slightly.

"Don't worry about the matter of Jiutun; I will find a way to force him to show himself." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "You only need to wipe out the Apocalypse Society and some of the ordinary trash within the Onmyoji. Leave Jiutun and the few ringleaders to me."

"With Mr. Chen's guarantee, I am relieved." Xingzi's brow smoothed out.

"I will resolve Jiutun, but there are also quite a few Onmyoji among them." Chen Yu said. "So you must not lower your guard, otherwise you will suffer a great loss."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chen, we will definitely be extra careful." Xingzi nodded. She bowed deeply to Chen Yu, then stood up.

"Mr. Chen, there is one more private matter I would like to mention regarding Kawana." Xingzi said.

"What's wrong with her again?" Chen Yu couldn't help but frown. Just hearing this woman's name gave him a headache; she really knew how to make trouble.

"She actually doesn't have a bad heart, she just doesn't know how to get along with people. If there were any offenses in the past, I hope Mr. Chen will not mind." Xingzi said. "And she has always regarded Mr. Chen as her friend."

"Alright, I know. She regards me as a friend? I wouldn't dare accept that." Chen Yu smiled. "Let her learn how to get along with people herself."

"I will." Xingzi bowed deeply to Chen Yu again before leaving.

Chen Yu watched her leave, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

To be honest, although the faction Xingzi belonged to stood on the same side as the Chinese, Chen Yu always held a trace of wariness toward them. After all, this race had once committed monstrous crimes against Huaxia.

Just as Xingzi left, Zhao Ping walked in. "What did she come here for?"

"To ask me to step in and help them resolve Jiutun," Chen Yu said.

"Resolve Jiutun? You mean they are going to take action against the Apocalypse Society?" Zhao Ping was somewhat stunned.

"Yes, the existence of the Apocalypse Society has already posed a threat to the authorities. The authorities should already know what Jiutun wants to do." Chen Yu said. "Even if they revere gods, if the interests of those in power are threatened, they will take risks to fight even the gods. Not to mention that Jiutun himself is not a true god; he is nothing more than a demon."

"I want to apply to join. I also want to go and resolve the matter of the Apocalypse Society." Zhao Ping looked up and said.

"You want to avenge Wu Bo, right?" Chen Yu understood what Zhao Ping meant.

"Yes, Wu Bo cannot die in vain like this." Zhao Ping did not deny it, his voice low. "He was my first partner after I started my missions, and it was also him who made me decide to stay."

"If you are still acting on impulse like this now, you will truly be failing Wu Bo's expectations." Chen Yu glanced at him and said. "You have your own mission; your mission is to guard this place and provide good logistical support for the staff here."

"It is not to see a comrade sacrifice themselves and then rush up like a hotheaded youth, insisting on avenging them. If that is truly what you think, then you are not a qualified field agent."

"Just this once. As long as you let me go and avenge Wu Bo, I will stay here and do my field work with peace of mind, and I will absolutely never cause trouble again," Zhao Ping said earnestly.

"Do you believe that yourself?" Chen Yu couldn't help but glance at him. "With this kind of thing, there is a first time, and there will be a second. You will tell yourself every time that this is the last time, but in reality, you won't be able to control yourself every time. In the end, you will cause a huge disaster, leading to the sacrifice of even more comrades."

Zhao Ping lowered his head, silent. He admitted that his thinking was a bit impulsive, but he could not tolerate Wu Bo sacrificing himself just like that.

"Zhao Ping, Wu Bo said you were young and hot-blooded; that is truly not false at all." Chen Yu glanced at him. "Doing things without considering the consequences will only make those who care about you suffer and your enemies rejoice. You need to understand what your mission here is, understand?"

Zhao Ping felt ashamed and lowered his head. He had completely forgotten the things Wu Bo had entrusted to him while he was still alive.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I was impulsive, but this time... I still want to participate," Zhao Ping said, still somewhat stubbornly.

"Fine, then go and kill Jiutun," Chen Yu said with a helpless shrug.

"Kill Jiutun?" Zhao Ping was stunned. He knew exactly how much he was worth; even if Jiutun was at his worst after waking up, he was not someone he could resolve.
