Izayoi decided to just sit down and go through the motions.

"Regarding the matter of borrowing technical personnel from your organization..."

"No problem, no problem. If you need more manpower, we can transfer more. I still have plenty of people at my branch."

Kijima couldn't help but laugh and said, "I wonder what the higher-ups in your organization think when they find out that you're in charge."

"Shh," Wumaquan said, "They're overjoyed to have me here. I can help them a lot. If I were useless, they wouldn't have chosen me as the regional head."

"That's true." Captain Megumi believed that the higher-ups of the Emperor Organization wouldn't be so confused.

She rested her chin on her hand and said, "I have seen your information. Your first half of life was uneventful, but your second half was a resounding success. You performed exceptionally well, which is why you became a member of the Emperor Organization."

"What do you mean by the first half of my life and the second half? How old am I anyway?" Wu Maquan said, "I just didn't make a move before, but I didn't expect that a little bit of my strength later would have pushed many people to their limits."

"So, you can actually perform even better and stand out even more, right?"

"Yes."

"So, are you interested in working for TPC? Joining the Victory Team would be a great option."

"Is your Victory Team really this blatant in poaching people?" Wuma Quan was stunned after hearing Captain Jujian Hui's words.

I never expected that Captain Megumi would dare to so blatantly poach him, a regional head of the Emperor Organization.

...............

P.S.: Requesting votes, rewards, and even blades (a metaphor for threats/resources).

That's all for now, I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy...???

I'm cold, sleepy, and hungry 2333

I just can't fall asleep, but as soon as I open my eyes for five or six minutes, they feel so sleepy I can barely keep them open. But as soon as I lie down and close my eyes to sleep, my eyes feel better and I'm no longer sleepy after a few minutes??? Could this be the Holy Ruins?

Chapter 185 You're Definitely Lying to Me

"It's not really poaching, I'm just asking if you're interested. If you are, you can come to me. After all, the more capable you are, the more you can contribute," Captain Kei smiled slightly.

Looking at the table full of food, she thought to herself that someone who could eat so much must be a very capable person. Normally, she wouldn't think that way, mainly because Wuma Quan didn't look fat; he was tall and thin, dressed in clothes, and somewhat handsome. In addition, he worked for the Imperial Organization, so he must be very capable.

Even within the GUTS team, Iruma Megumi believes she would be an invaluable talent.

"Ah, let's talk about it later. If I'm interested in this, I'll definitely come to you." Wuma Quan didn't refuse. Joining the Victory Team seemed like a pretty good option, after all, the Victory Team, this paranormal investigation organization, was backed by the TPC, a high-level UN organization. It was no worse than the Monarch Organization.

The two chatted casually at the dinner table, moving from work-related matters to other topics.

During this time, you'll discover quite a few things about Wumaquan. This made Megumi Kijima nod with satisfaction.

I don't know if all the high-ranking members of the Emperor Organization are at Wu Maquan's level, or if Wu Maquan is just one of the more outstanding ones among the high-ranking members of the Emperor Organization.

If the upper echelons of the Monarchy are generally at the level of Wuma Quan, then Jujian Hui believes that the Monarchy's prestige is definitely no less than that of the TPC. We must not underestimate them simply because they are an organization researching ancient Titans.

Wuma Quan, on the other hand, felt that the old woman, Jujian Hui, was testing his worth and wanted to see if it would be a loss to poach him in the future.

Wu Maquan was quite confident in this regard. Although he was no longer using his abilities to cheat, the knowledge he had accumulated was already in his mind. Even if he became an ordinary person one day, the knowledge would remain in his mind, and he wouldn't end up doing particularly badly.

After another round of casual conversation, Captain Megumi received a message that Masaki Keigo had arrived in the TPC.

She smiled and said to Wumaquan, "Excuse me, a guest has arrived, I have to go over there first."

"It's alright, you go about your business, don't worry about me, I'm eating very well here." Wumaquan waved his hand.

Captain Megumi nodded and said, "I think the guests who came this time are just like you; they are all rare talents."

"Oh? Who could have gotten Captain Megumi to give such a good review?" Wuma Quan asked curiously.

Could it be Captain Hayate from the original work making an appearance? Speaking of which, Captain Hayate is quite handsome, and seems to resemble Daigo somewhat. If Daigo's appearance is more delicate, then Captain Hayate's appearance is more rugged.

“Even if I told you his name, you probably wouldn’t know who he is. If you’re interested, you can come with me to see him.” Captain Megumi smiled slightly.

“Alright, I'm just staying here at TPC anyway. I've spent most of my time here at your GUTS place, mostly in the cafeteria; I haven't really explored the other areas properly.” Wuma Izumi stood up. He didn't care about the uneaten food on the table; it was Daigo's meal card, not his. Even if he hadn't finished, he was sure the GUTS would handle the leftovers properly. Feeding them to the pigs would be a perfectly good idea.

The two walked side by side.

Wuma Quan followed behind Jujian Hui. He blinked as he looked at Jujian Hui's back and felt that Jujian Hui looked a little different from ordinary people. She had a unique aura, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

It wasn't like darkness, but it wasn't like pure light either. He remembered that in the original story, Megumi Kiyama was a descendant of Yuzare, a member of the Earth Defense Force from the ancient era. However, due to some changes at that time, some deviations appeared in Megumi Kiyama's character, allowing some of Yuzare's backup plans to be activated.

Wu Maquan resting his chin on his hand—this possibility isn't out of the question. After all, Earth's civilization in the ancient era was incredibly advanced, even establishing contact with many giants, making it far superior to modern civilization. It's not surprising that they would have left behind some defensive measures.

The two arrived at a reception area in no time.

In the waiting room, Wuma Quan saw a very familiar person, which surprised him. He didn't expect that the guest that Jujian Hui had mentioned would be this person.

In the original work, Masaki Keigo did not seem to get along with the GUTS team. In this life, however, he took the initiative to improve his relationship with the GUTS team. Could it be that Masaki Keigo has some strange ideas again?

Wu Maquan's expression was strange.

Masaki Keigo lay on the sofa, quietly waiting for Captain Iruma Megumi to arrive. He had already planned how to test the two female members of the GUTS team to see who the mysterious female giant was. When Captain Iruma Megumi approached, he immediately stood up, pretending to be very enthusiastic about showing off TPC. However, before he could even speak to her, he turned his head and saw Wuma Izumi behind Captain Iruma Megumi.

This left Masaki Keigo completely speechless.

Wasn't Wumaquan supposed to be lying at home sleeping? How did he end up here at TPC, and even faster than him?

In an instant, Masaki Keigo wanted to run away. After all, if Wuma Izumi saw him there, he would probably guess that Masaki had some bad intentions and might stand up on the spot to expose his conspiracy.

But then I thought about it again. Their conflict was that he stole Wuma Quan's transformation device and ended up getting beaten up. Wuma Quan couldn't possibly reveal that he had a direct conflict with him, so Captain Jujian Hui couldn't believe it.

This reassured Masaki Keigo somewhat, and he stood firmly on the ground again, staring straight at Wuma Izumi without batting an eye, pretending to be a successful person.

Wumaquan: "..."

That kid Masaki Keigo, what's with the way he looks at me? There's a hint of provocation in his eyes. He's probably asking for a beating. I'll give this kid a good thrashing sooner or later, and make him face reality.

"Let me introduce you. This is Wuma Quan from the Emperor Organization. He is also an outstanding talent who has been involved in and researched various industries and has a wealth of knowledge and theories."

"This is Masaki Keigo, who holds doctoral degrees in various fields and is a rare genius..."

Megumi introduced the two to each other, but the general content of the introductions was similar, both saying that the other was a genius in many fields.

Captain Megumi was unaware that the two knew each other, and both smiled as she introduced them. However, the meaning behind those smiles was different for each of them.

“Hello, Mr. Wuma.” Masaki Keigo was the first to reach out, extending his hand.

"Hello, Masaki Keigo." Wuma Izumi genuinely didn't intend to expose Masaki Keigo. Mainly, he couldn't just blurt out that Masaki Keigo was a wolf in sheep's clothing, trying to forcibly seize his transformation device. Besides the transformation device, there wasn't much else to say. So, he might as well observe Masaki Keigo and see what he was really up to.

Seeing the two getting along so well, Captain Megumi nodded in satisfaction, as if she could already see the scene of the two joining the GUTS team together in the future, fighting side by side, piloting the GUTS Hyuga 1 together, becoming capable members of the GUTS team, and making indelible contributions to global peace.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Wuma from the Imperial Organization to TPC? Has your Victory Team ever cooperated with the Imperial Organization?" Masaki Keigo asked.

“There is indeed some cooperation. Wumaquan came here this time on behalf of the Emperor Organization.” Captain Jujian Hui nodded.

Masaki Keigo seemed to be deep in thought. He had thought that Wuma Izumi had come to intercept him, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"Since you two both want to visit TPC, I'll lead the way and show you the whole picture of TPC," Captain Megumi said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Captain." Wu Maquan crossed his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.

Masaki Keigo glanced at Wuma Izumi, wondering what Wuma Izumi was plotting. In the past, he might have simply run away; after all, he was weaker than Wuma Izumi, and if Wuma Izumi had any designs on him, he would have been almost powerless to resist. But now it was different. He had gained the recognition of the Giant of Light, and was now one of them. It was no longer a matter of who was stronger.

If Wuma Izumi really wanted to attack him, then there was no other way but to have a contest. Masaki Keigo didn't believe that now that he had gained the approval of the Giant of Light, he would lose to Wuma Izumi so easily again. Even if he lost this time, he would probably be able to truly see Wuma Izumi's true strength.

Thinking this way, Masaki Keigo felt a glimmer of anticipation rise within him. He wanted to see just how strong Wuma Izumi truly was, so that even if the two sides were to clash in the future, he could have a clear understanding of the situation. Unlike before, when he was simply beaten and instantly killed, Masaki Keigo wouldn't be at the mercy of others.

Masaki Keigo unconsciously rubbed his hands together, a slight upturn of his lips, like a crooked-mouthed dragon king.

Upon seeing this, Wumaquan couldn't help but shake his head. Not to mention him, even a dog would shake its head in disapproval.

The two of them followed behind Captain Kijima.

Captain Megumi walked at the front and introduced the two of them to the full picture of TPC.

But neither of them was listening to this matter at all.

Wuma Izumi approached Masaki Keigo and asked, "What exactly is your purpose in coming to TPC? Tell me the truth, is it because your Titan Completion Project failed, so you came up with some other plans? Why don't you tell me about them, maybe I can give you some advice."

"Like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're up to no good. I can tell something's off about your attitude." Masaki Keigo said coldly, but after a moment's hesitation, he still asked, "Do you know who that mysterious female giant who appeared before was?"

“Camilla.” Wumaquan blinked.

"Camilla?" Masaki Keigo frowned. It was a name he had never heard of before, but that didn't matter. As long as he had the name, he could find information about the person in question.

But would Wumaquan be so kind as to tell him the giant's name? Isn't he afraid that the giant might have other ideas? Perhaps the name Camilla is just a misleading device.

Masaki Keigo kept the name Camilla in mind, but he didn't completely believe it and could only say that he would investigate it later.

"What do you want with this mysterious female giant? She's not someone to mess with; she has two henchmen under her, she's incredibly powerful," Wumaquan sighed.

"..." Masaki Keigo remained silent.

As expected, Wumaquan knew more than him, though it's also possible that Wumaquan was just talking nonsense.

"And what about the two women from the GUTS team? Aren't they the Mysterious Female Titans? Camilla, I think, is just the name of a Goddess Female Titan." Masaki Keigo's gaze was intense as he stared intently at Wuma Izumi, trying to glean some information from her face. They were enemies before—one tried to steal the transformation device, and the other was brutally beaten, creating a grudge—but now they were walking together peacefully, even exchanging questions.

"Why would you suspect those two?" Wumaquan asked with a look of surprise. "But Camilla is indeed the name of that giant... Oh, I see, you're looking for Camilla's human form, right? Unfortunately, Camilla doesn't have a human form; she can directly transform into a human and walk in society."

Masaki Keigo frowned: "You mean she is a giant herself, unlike us?"

“That’s right.” Wumaquan nodded.

This made Masaki Keigo frown even more deeply.

In that case, it's hard to guess what this mysterious female giant is thinking. It turns out she's actually the real giant. Given her status as the real giant, the power she can unleash is likely at 100%. Furthermore, having lived for so long, who knows what strange and unique abilities she might possess? If she were to cause trouble on Earth, it would be very difficult to deal with.

As he pondered, Masaki Keigo's brows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, saying, "That was close. I almost fell for your trick. Why would you tell me so much for no reason? There must be a trap involved. I wonder if that mysterious female giant is actually in the GUTS team, and because I need to find her, you're covering for her by deliberately giving me some incorrect information to mislead me."

"am I right."

"I never expected that someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would be so cunning."

"I was caught up in it without realizing it and almost fell for your trick. If I hadn't reacted in time, I probably would have really fallen for your scheme."

Masaki Keigo had a look on his face that said he saw right through Wuma Izumi's conspiracy.

Wumaquan: "..."

What's wrong with this world? How come he doesn't believe him even when he tells the truth and gives him kind advice?

Masaki Keigo, that kid, definitely has something wrong with his head.

Wuma Izumi looked deep in thought. Masaki Keigo's intentions were impure; he clearly wasn't cut out to become a Giant of Light. It was truly despicable that they had wronged such a good person, labeling him as someone full of scheming.

When Masaki Keigo saw that Wuma Izumi remained silent, he immediately concluded that Wuma Izumi had guessed correctly.

He was absolutely right. Luckily, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have really been caught off guard.
