Chapter 431 Confrontation

This is a real troublemaker.

Lin Jue sighed. It was indeed troublesome for a king to come looking for trouble, but he hadn't done it in the first place. Being inexplicably labeled with such a title made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

But he still patiently explained, "It really wasn't me. A weakened, extremely vicious beast just appeared in this place, and I took care of it. Look around here, the traces of the battle are still there."

He said this not only to tell the Crimson Cloud King that he didn't have time to go to the Third Hospital, but also to tell him that if he hadn't been there, that extremely evil beast would have been causing chaos in the mortal world. This was equivalent to helping the Investigation Department. As a high-ranking member of the Investigation Department, the Crimson Cloud King should be awarding a prize at this time, not interrogating someone who has made a contribution and continuing to doubt him even when there is evidence.

"A weakened, extremely vicious ferocious beast?" King Chixiao scanned the other party. He could naturally tell that a battle had taken place here, and that both sides were quite strong.

He understood the meaning behind Lin Jue's words. After a moment of silence, he continued, "But that doesn't prove whether it was your clone or not. One is in the open and the other is in the dark, each acting independently. Even if you really killed a weakened Extreme Evil Fierce Beast, it doesn't seem to clear your name of suspicion."

Is this guy trying to pick a fight with me?

Lin Jue took a deep breath, and his attitude hardened: "Since King Chixiao suspects that I did it, then please produce the evidence. Whoever suspects must provide the evidence. I'm sure King Chixiao has heard the saying, right?"

“I have already presented evidence to prove that I did not do this. Since you continue to have doubts, then please find evidence that I did it, instead of doubting me here without any reason.”

After saying that, ignoring the darkening expression on the face of the Crimson Cloud King, he paused and continued, "To put it bluntly, if I really wanted to stir up some strange events, with my strength, as long as the King doesn't take action, the entire Sanjiang, no, the entire Jiangdong Province, would be overthrown by me. Why would I bother dealing with strange events that should be handled by your Investigation Department?"

His words sent chills down the spines of Lie Zeng, who was standing nearby. This was a complete disregard for the Crimson Sky King's dignity. If a fight were to break out, they would be the ones to suffer.

The Crimson King remained silent. His full head of red hair fluttered in the wind, and his aura was rising steadily, as if he wanted to make a move.

But in the end, he just snorted coldly: "It better not be you. If it really is you, I will definitely find you out."

"Also, you just said you killed an extremely vicious beast. I will send someone to investigate afterwards. If what you said is true, the reward will be substantial."

After saying that, he leaped into the sky, leaving behind a trail of crimson clouds.

The tense atmosphere subsided, and Lin Jue watched Chi Xiao Wang's departing figure silently.

Lie Zeng, standing beside him, patted his chest, his face full of admiration: "Boss, you're really something. You dared to be so tough in front of a King. Aren't you afraid he would attack you just now?"

"If he wanted to make a move, he would have done it the moment he saw me, instead of saying so much here. He knows in his heart that this matter has nothing to do with me, but he definitely knows that guy is connected to me. He came here this time to try to get something out of me."

Lin Jue replied calmly that the Crimson Sky King had been talking about clones and such, which was probably because he had sensed something and was trying to get information out of him.

This also served as a reminder to Lin Jue that the matter of multiple personality disorder would definitely be investigated by the Investigation Department. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he could not fool the Investigation Department headquarters, which had seven kings. That was a behemoth, and once it was in operation, no one could keep a secret from it.

"By the way, is that really you in that video? It looks exactly like your other face." Lie Zeng asked curiously, there were too many mysteries surrounding this human. "No." Lin Jue shook his head. Now that Qu Ming's matter was resolved, he needed to carefully plan what to do next.

First, I definitely need to go back to Sanjiang to inquire about the ins and outs of the strange incident at the Third Hospital. Then, I need to calm down and break through to the fifth rank. By the way, I should also go to the other three cities in Jiangdong Province to take down the old enemy, the Inspection Department, and also put the Child of the Mist, who controls the new world, into my raincoat.

He had a very urgent feeling that urged him to improve his strength as soon as possible. First, the Temple of Nothingness suddenly appeared, and then the mental hospital, which had always been stoic, sent patients to attack the real world for the first time. All these signs proved that something big was going to happen.

It could be that the fog is spiraling out of control, or that more and more things are appearing in the world. He must be fully prepared to deal with any unexpected events that may occur in the future.

On his way back to Quming, he took out his phone from his pocket. There were several missed calls, all from Xiao Lin. In addition, there was a text message, also from the same director.

The text message was very simple, just one sentence: "The Crimson Sky King has come looking for us."

The message was sent an hour ago, when Lin Jue was completely focused on dealing with Jinmie and hadn't noticed his phone.

"Xiao Lin, that ice-cold beauty, is all bark and no bite. She clearly dislikes me in every way, yet she still reminds me of things." Lin Jue thought for a moment and then called Xiao Lin back.

"Spit it out if you have something to say." Xiao Lin's attitude is getting worse and worse.

Lin Jue coughed lightly: "Thanks, are you still in Sanjiang? I'll treat you to a meal when I get back tomorrow."

Xiao Lin had helped him a lot before, so he should treat him to a meal to thank him and also ask him about the Third Hospital.

Xiao Lin was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before slowly uttering, "I'm not interested in my younger brother."

No, what are you thinking about?

Lin Jue's eyelids twitched wildly, completely unaware that calling a girl in the middle of the night to invite her to dinner was indeed something that could easily lead to misunderstandings.

"Don't overthink it, I just wanted to thank you and ask you a few other questions."

"Oh." Xiao Lin gave a curt "Oh." "Has the Crimson Cloud King contacted you?"

"I looked for him, he just left." Lin Jue slowly walked back.

"Well, although the Crimson Sky King is not easy to get along with, that's only because he can't tolerate any wrongdoing. He was originally a person with an overflowing sense of justice. After experiencing countless contaminations, negative emotions did not affect him. On the contrary, he became more and more righteous. So you'd better not let him find any fault with you, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."

Xiao Lin's words were both a reminder and a warning, because Lin Jue's strength was growing, and he was controlling more and more strange entities. Such a person needed to be kept under control, otherwise he would be a walking, talking nuclear bomb. (End of Chapter)
