The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Song Gua would certainly not fall.

He handed the Dark Balance to Jiwan.

"That's strange, why is the beast core fake?"

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

"Fortunately, we found a Divine Stone Tablet of Illusion this time, so the brothers who sacrificed their lives were not sacrificed in vain. Let's first observe three seconds of silence for them."

The moment of silence has ended.

"Let's admire this divine stele together. What world does it record, and which illusion does it correspond to?"

Just then, Da Congming's phone rang.

"Boss, Miss Butterfly."

Song Gua thought for a moment, then retrieved Da Congming, swapped positions with Shangche Ge in the wild, and released Da Congming again.

"You're taking this call here? The Avengers are too technologically advanced; we have to be careful."

Da Congming gave a thumbs up.

"stable!"

Then, the call was connected.

"Feed? Is this Miss Butterfly?"

"That's right, it's me who was tricked twice by you bandits, yet I still don't hold grudges and just stepped in to save you."

Da Congming handed the phone to Song Gua.

The two voices sounded identical, switching seamlessly between them.

"To be honest, we never tricked you. Besides, I could have killed him even if you hadn't made a move. Instead, you alerted him and let him escape, causing our operation to fail. I still have to settle the score with you."

"Ha, you bandits are really unreasonable, you even manage to turn the tables on me!"

"You just happened to call, so let's settle the accounts right now. We lost five hundred brothers in this operation, so two million per person in compensation isn't unreasonable, is it? We also have five thousand injured men; you can decide on the medical expenses. And..."

"Alright! Stop talking nonsense. I just wanted to let you know I have a commission. Are you going to accept it or not?"

Song Gua laughed. He already knew he'd been tricked twice, yet he still sought to cooperate with the bandits.

The term "sucker" seems too small to describe her.

"Of course I'll take it if the pay is right."

"Are you the bandit leader? Can you make the decision?"

"We bandits are different from those flashy, cheap women outside. We're united from top to bottom, and everyone is in charge!"

"Ha, frivolous, talking nonsense again. I wouldn't believe you're fake bandits. It doesn't matter, as long as you can take the bait."

"What request?"

"Go find the Dark Pocket Watch."

"Again?"

Song Gua was speechless.

This silly woman, didn't she realize that the dark scales she was given last time were actually a mold?

Why do I need to give them money?

"That's right, the Avengers desperately want the Dark Artifact, but everyone is very busy right now. If you could help us find it, that would be a huge help."

Song Gua frowned.

That familiar tone.

Does this sound like when you're trying to fool others?

I've run into a fellow professional.

"How much will you be paid this time?"

"One hundred million."

"Only one hundred million? What do you take us for? Some kind of bandits, some young thief?!"

"You heard me right, one hundred million Federal Credits, plus a divine artifact, a necklace piece. Deal?"

Song Gua's lips twitched.

First, Zhao Canbai gave away ten million.

I never expected there would be experts when it comes to giving things away for free!

Considering this woman has already given herself away twice, it seems she's really capable of doing this.

After the initial excitement, Song Gua calmed down.

"Wait a minute, I have a feeling you're up to something."

"What's wrong? The cooperation with Dark Balance last time was very pleasant, and I have great confidence in your ability to find the Dark Artifacts."

"No, you, haha, we, actually, this..."

This is a mess.

I don't even know how to interpret the Song hexagram.

He said the scales he gave her were custom-made.

Isn't this contradicting himself?

If she doesn't say it out loud, then this attitude of yours is the real deal, she's putting herself on a pedestal, and you're in a bit of a bind.

Who cares!

They're giving away money and amazing tools for free, why wouldn't I take them?

Anyway, Song Gua was also very interested in the dark pocket watch.

I still remember the time-stop series...

"Alright, we'll do it!"

"Very good, it's a pleasure to cooperate. In fact, if you encounter any trouble in Yunshan City, you can call me anytime, and I may be able to get there."

That's what I mean.

Hudi Lisa could very well be this Miss Butterfly.

Because she's currently studying at Yunshan No. 5 Middle School!

Clearly, Miss Butterfly was unaware that her deskmate was none other than the bandit leader, Dice.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that.

"Wait, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead and tell me what I can."

"What weapon were you using just now? And what are you carrying on your back?"

"It's science."

"Why don't you talk about philosophy? It's the same as not saying anything at all!"

"Ask fewer questions about things that don't concern you, and do what you want to do."

"There's another matter: what exactly is a Dark Artifact? Why does such extraordinary power, which doesn't belong to the 'Cleric' system, exist on Earth?"

Miss Butterfly remained silent for a while.

Then he said.

"Go look up what the Special Affairs Bureau does, and you'll find the answer."

After saying that, Miss Butterfly hung up the phone.

Song Gua and Da Congming returned to the bandit headquarters.

"The Bureau of Special Information... well, then we can only rely on you, Yanzu."

The Blizzard Warlock, who had mostly recovered, stood before Song Gua and saluted.

"We will definitely complete the mission!"

Monkey King leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"Are we holding an awards ceremony this time?"

"Granting it my ass! The beast core is fake, and four of its brothers died, two are crippled. It's more like they're holding a funeral for it."

"Yay!"

Monkey King is happy.

Since he didn't participate in this operation, he definitely won't receive an award if one is given out.

In the corner, Pao Ge was drawing circles, thinking, "Just you wait, my time to make a name for myself will come sooner or later!"

Blood Brother sipped his red wine, looking quite pleased with himself. Then, as if struck by a thought, he said, "Old thief, are we going to help the Avengers find the Dark Artifact again?"

"It's not about helping them, it's about making money off them on the side. I don't know what's wrong with the Avengers, they know I'm giving them fake stuff, but they still want to cooperate with us."

"Yeah, I was wondering what they were up to. I just didn't feel quite right with them."

"But even if the Avengers don't give us this commission, we can't possibly miss the chance to get the Dark Watch."

"Speaking of which, aren't the Avengers supposed to help people get revenge for free? Where do they get so much money and resources, spending hundreds of millions of dollars at a time?"

"Who knows?"

……

Blue Star, a North American administrative region, a major metropolitan area, Newborn City.

Sam Brothers is the largest bank in the North American administrative region.

Their headquarters in New Orleans is always packed with customers and business is booming.

On this day, another group of robbers came to the bank.

The security guard rushed into the general manager's office in a panic.

"Oh no! General Manager William! Someone's robbing a bank!"

William was embracing a beautiful woman, using a small mage skill to flirt with her with his palm.

"They're just robbers, what's the big deal? In New Orleans, they robbed us of our money, but they won't live to enjoy it. The Sam family will teach them a lesson."

"No, these robbers are no ordinary people!"

"What level?"

"He's not some level, he's that kind of, that kind of..."

The security guard hadn't yet figured out how to phrase it.

A laser beam pierced through the walls, lying between William and the security guard.

"boom!!"

The next second, an entire wall in William's office collapsed.

William turned his head and looked around, his gaze gradually becoming vacant.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Two Transformers!

At the top of one of the platforms stood a woman wearing a butterfly mask.

Her tone was very fierce.

"Robbery! Hand over all your Federal Currency and precious metals! Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and hang you on a streetlight!"

William slumped to the ground with a forced smile.

"Yes, yes..."
