I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 561 2.1 The Crown Prince (Part 8)

Lan Xiao remained seated and did not move. Theoretically, as Shui Qi's apostle, she should have helped him when he was in danger, but she did not make any move to save him from beginning to end.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but she knew very well that Shui Qi had deliberately provoked her. After all, he was the most annoying person among the crown princes. Of course, given Shui Qi's personality and intelligence, he wouldn't do such a thing for no reason. Clearly, he was testing her, so Lan Xiao didn't bother Shui Qi.

Shui Qi couldn't understand the fool, and he didn't like being passive. He preferred to take the initiative in grasping information and controlling the situation, which is why he provoked Cun Xi just now.

In other words, it wasn't that he deliberately provoked hatred, but rather that Shui Qi was calculating something. All his expressions, tone of voice, and words at the time were meticulously calculated to ensure that the other party would fall into his trap.

Of course, judging from Shui Qi's expression, he was in a good mood, which meant that he was very satisfied with the result of the test and got the information he wanted.

However, the other side inadvertently leaked information without anyone noticing, perhaps because they thought it was insignificant. But for Shui Qi, any information could become a sharp arrow that he could use.

He was wary of the crown prince, whom he had little contact with, or anyone who could get close to him, so he habitually sought to obtain information about them in order to put his mind at ease.

This is a morbid emotion, stemming from the betrayal, torment, and even backstabbing he suffered at the hands of his so-called comrades when he was still an intelligence agent.

It was etched into his very bones; no matter how much time had passed, he could never forget the expression on his teammate's face as he slashed him to extract information, even when they used drugs to amplify his emotions and used electric shocks to force him to hand over data to the enemy.

The amplified sensation and the near-fatal electric shock hurt so much that at one point he almost thought it would be better to just die like this, so he could be free. It hurt so much...

In the end, he held back, and because he refused to speak, his so-called companions stabbed him in the heart in an attempt to kill him.

If it weren't for the Crown Prince sending Lieutenant General Mingxi to rescue him, he probably would have really died. It was only because of that incident that he developed a chronic illness, which caused his original S-level physique to drop to A, and he ended up as a logistics officer in the intelligence team, where he was parachuted in by Horus to become his superior.

To this day, the scar on his chest remains, coated with a poison unique to the Zerg, which cannot be removed even with the most advanced technology.

He kept everything to himself, enduring it all without speaking out. As he continued to bear it, his resentment grew deeper and deeper, gradually overwhelming him until he could hardly breathe.

But not yet. He can't let himself go. He has other things to do and can't let his emotions run wild.

Just wait a little longer, just a little longer...

Once he has finished all of this...

Isaiah closed the large book on the table, turned to Shui Qi, and said with displeasure, "Shui Qi, you've gone too far."

Shui Qi paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Sorry, sorry for making you worry."

“This is not sincere at all. I almost killed someone off just now,” Isaiah said in a low voice.

From Lan Xiao's perspective, she knew Shui Qi's thoughts, so she wouldn't act; this was from the perspective of a subordinate. However, both Isaiah and Ming Jin were acting from the perspective of Shui Qi's friends. When he was in danger, their first reaction wasn't to understand what he was going to do, but to save him. As the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment; Ming Jin only felt tired after realizing what was happening and said he needed to wash his face, but actually, he wanted to calm himself down.

Mingxi sat in her seat, idly scrolling through her phone, when she came across a photo on a forum. Mu Yegui was wearing a beautiful dark red dress, had unusually put on makeup, and was striking a very cute pose, seemingly participating in some kind of event.

He glanced at the title: [Halloween-themed party in the Food Kingdom, met a super cute little one! This auntie instantly wanted to become a pedophile!! Ahhhhh, Mommy will give you all the candy you want!!!]
[My daughter, the ugly evil pumpkin, and the handsome devilish young master have left. Waaah, I didn't even have time to take a picture, only their backs are visible...]
[Aaaaaah, that's my daughter!! I declare her mine! Everyone get out of the way!!!]
Mingxi: "..." They seem to be having a lot of fun.

He glanced at the distorted angle of a certain photo and could vaguely make out two guys who had secretly slipped away from Mu Yegui at some point. No wonder he hadn't seen them; they had gone to the Food Kingdom to play.

He also thought Mu Yegui was super cute, so he used the speed of someone who had been single for thirty years to long-press and save all the photos of Mu Yegui on the forum, and then reported those posts one by one, on the grounds that they violated his portrait rights.

That's right, he's that shameless! No one but him can have Mu Yegui's photos!!

A silly smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

When Mingjin came in after washing her face, she saw her brother sitting in his seat playing on his phone with a silly grin on his face, looking like an idiot.

He paused, and for a moment he thought of turning around and leaving; he really didn't want to know this guy.

"President, you didn't even tell me you were coming here. When I went to look for you, you were all gone." A clear voice, tinged with resentment, came from the doorway. Everyone looked up and saw an extremely handsome man walking in with a chocolate-coated fried banana in his hand.

She walked in with long, dark purple hair tied in a high ponytail, a long sword on her back, and a delicious-looking chocolate-coated fried banana in her hand.

"So you went for a stroll before coming over?" Ji Rong asked Noyce with a light smile.

"The Food Kingdom is having an event, and since you weren't waiting for me anyway, I just went and bought some food. Here, this is for you." He pulled out a perfectly intact banana from somewhere and tossed it to Ji Rong.

Ji Rong glanced silently at the plain, unpeeled banana in his arms, then at the delicious-looking fried banana drizzled with chocolate sauce in Noyce's hand, and said, "So you brought me this?" He was more interested in the one Noyce was holding...

"I snatched it from the manager; it was the last banana in the entire Food Kingdom," Noyce nodded and said.

Shui Qi stared longingly at the chocolate sauce on the fried banana. Actually, he really wanted to eat it too; he liked all foods with chocolate.

"I'll have Fei, who hasn't arrived yet, bring me some," Ji Rong said, glancing down at her phone as she dialed a number while munching on a peeled banana.

Brave Noyce
