SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Gu Cang raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Just say you're my distant cousin, a student at Jiang University. That's a flawless identity!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly changed his mind, saying in a serious tone, "No, your current identity is genuine."

"The former White Court Chief was the fake one." He couldn't help but chuckle as he finished speaking.

……

Wunian Building.

Two powerful figures walked out side by side.

Qiu Hu's face still showed lingering fear, while Xiong Hei remained cold and hard.

"Big Bear, thinking about it now, it's really scary."

Qiu Hu stroked his chin and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "If Wang Wan had shown up a few days later, would we have...?"

"Um."

Xiong Hei interrupted him, his tone unusually serious: "But the existence of the King must never be exposed."

"Not even a single word can be revealed to our most trusted confidants."

"That's natural."

Qiu Hu's smile faded, and he let out a long sigh, his voice tinged with weariness:

"Sigh, of all the brothers who went through thick and thin together, only a few of us are left."

Sometimes I wonder, why is it so difficult to live a simple life in this world?

"Because this world is rotten to the core, completely decayed."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Hei walked straight towards the black minivan parked by the roadside, adding without turning his head:

"Don't die, Qiu Hu."

Chou Hu laughed and cursed, "I'll definitely survive to the end! You're the one who should be worried!"

After Xiong Hei's car drove away, Qiu Hu's smile completely disappeared.

He stood on the steps of the building entrance, gazing at the distant sky for a while, before finally murmuring softly:

"I hope... we can all survive to the end."

……

The central town of E'ting is on the 32nd floor.

The spacious office was dimly lit.

Feng Xi sat upright in the leather chair, her gaze falling on Qing He, who was shirtless and had thick bandages wrapped around his chest. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was clearly concerned:

"How are your injuries?"

Qinghe twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a relaxed smile: "Just a superficial injury. How did the mission in Luo City go?"

"Judging from your expression, it seems to be going quite smoothly?"

"The intelligence in Los Angeles is completely wrong; there are actually only three S-class targets."

Feng Xi lowered his voice and added, "The intelligence regarding Zhenbei City also does not match expectations."

Qinghe sneered, "Cangcheng's situation is even more outrageous. Not a single S-rank has appeared, yet they've mobilized half of Baizhou's top officials..."

"Ning Mo just received news that the Fifth Seat has appeared at a manor in Zhenbei City," Feng Xi said calmly.

Qinghe paused, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes: "The fifth seat?"

Feng Xi nodded slightly: "It was Gu Cang who gave us the information; we'll be taking action tonight."

"Brother Gu? It's been a long time since I've heard from him."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Qinghe's eyes, followed by a question: "Didn't he waste several years in Jiangcheng?"

"Has she finally woken up?" He couldn't help but chuckle at the end.

"The specifics are still unclear; let's wait for their actions tonight."

After Feng Xi finished speaking, she stood up, but stopped abruptly at the door. She turned back to look at Qing He, her tone solemn:

"Be more cautious in your actions from now on, Zhen'e Ting. We cannot afford to lose another chief."

With that, she turned and strode away, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor gradually fading at the end of the corridor.

Qinghe smiled helplessly, gazing at the ceiling and murmuring, "If Chief Ting were here... how wonderful that would be."

……

It got completely dark at 6:00 PM.

Two black Zhen Erting cars quietly stopped in front of the Maybach.

The remaining vehicles were scattered in hidden corners around the manor, forming a silent encirclement.

"You're here. Get off and meet your old friends. There are only two cars, not many people."

As Gu Cang spoke, he pushed open the car door, and Lin Mu sighed softly and followed him out of the car.

The car door had barely closed when four figures in plain clothes quickly approached Gu Cang.

"Old friend, long time no see." Gu Cang's voice was a little hoarse as the cigarette between his fingers burned to the end.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Ning Mo nodded, his expression remaining indifferent, his gaze sweeping over Gu Cang without any extra emotion.

"Brother Gu! Do you still remember me?" A young man in a casual jacket stepped forward with a smile, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Cheng Sui?"

Gu Cang was somewhat surprised and looked him up and down: "It's only been a few years, and you've already reached the position of First-Class Suppressor of Calamities? Not bad."

"Brother Gu." Zhang Huai stood to the side, a gentle smile on his face.

"You're more mature than before," Gu Cang patted his shoulder.

Lu Ping scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "Don't look at me, we just met in Jiangcheng."

Gu Cang nodded, stubbed out his cigarette on the ground, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He looked at Ning Mo and explained in detail the specific circumstances of the Fifth Seat's appearance in this manor.

But before he could finish speaking, the gazes of the four people in front of him kept drifting towards Lin Mu behind him, with obvious scrutiny.

Ning Mo interrupted Gu Cang, saying in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to introduce the person behind you before entering the manor?"

As soon as he spoke, the eyes of Lü Ping, Zhang Huai, and Cheng Sui all focused on Lin Mu.

There was a sense of tension in the air.

"Hey, I forgot to mention!"

"If it weren't for my distant cousin, I really wouldn't have been able to find the Fifth Seat."

Gu Cang quickly spoke up, pulling Lin Mu aside to introduce him to everyone:

"A zero-level awakener, a freshman at Jiang University this year."

After saying that, he secretly gave Lin Mu a look: Say something, standing still is more suspicious!

Lin Mu understood, stepped forward, deliberately straightened his back, and showed just the right amount of tension on his face:

"My name is Lin Mu. It's an honor to meet you all... I'm a little nervous, sorry." He then deliberately clenched the hem of his clothes.

"Jiangda College?"

Lu Ping's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward in the darkness to examine him closely: "Then you should have seen me before, right?"

"Yes! Your speech at the opening ceremony really got all of us freshmen fired up!"

Lin Mu immediately raised his voice, his tone filled with genuine admiration: "We all take you as our role model, and every day we follow what you say in your speeches, diligently studying theory and training our physical abilities!"

Lu Ping was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

Seeing this, Ning Mo and the others' scrutiny softened, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

The moment Lü Ping's hand touched Lin Mu's shoulder, a chilling sensation suddenly ran down his back.

He abruptly withdrew his hand, chuckled dryly, and said, "Study hard, you are the future of China!"

"I will." Lin Mu looked directly at him, her eyes calm.

As Lü Ping turned around, he shivered again, feeling the cold wind on his back grow even stronger. He was somewhat bewildered: this feeling was like…

"Alright, we can catch up later. Let's get started."

Ning Mo interrupted Lü Ping's thoughts and looked at Gu Cang, causing everyone's expressions to instantly turn serious.
