Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

"Let's find Elijah first. Since he was the one who revealed the seventeenth... he must also know where the seventeenth is."

"Um..."

A moment later.

Just as Zhang Chulan led the group across the grassland, a man dressed in a gray robe suddenly appeared in the distance, watching them.

The man was holding a photograph. The photograph showed Zhang Chulan wearing a suit in the reception room when King Nathan met with representatives of other supernatural organizations.

"It should... be him, right?" He compared the photo with Zhang Chulan in the distance for a few moments, then pulled out his walkie-talkie and spoke:

“Elijah, the person you’ve been waiting for has arrived. Although I’m not very good at recognizing Asian faces, this flashy hairstyle… I can’t be wrong.”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Elijah, upon hearing the news of Zhang Chulan's arrival, also used his privileges as a Nasen Guard to appear out of thin air in the meadow.

Chapter 377 Do you even know what a temporary worker who commits murder and arson is? (Second Update)

Thanks.

Elijah glanced at Zhang Chulan not far away, then thanked the islander who had informed him, and walked towards Zhang Chulan.

Elijah?

Zhang Chulan was quite surprised to see Elijah suddenly appear not far away.

They had only been on Nathan Island for a short while when they encountered Elijah, who had shown up on his own initiative. What does this signify?

It is clear.

Elijah was just fishing; before leaving China, he released the news of Seventeen to lure him to Nathan Island...

"You're here to see Seventeen, right?" Elijah asked Zhang Chulan.

"Huh...where is he?"

"They were taken away by a group of people..."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan frowned.

It's happening again?

Upon hearing the news that Seventeen had been taken away before him, he couldn't help but recall that back in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley, a group of people had also taken away Wugensheng's collection first...

What exactly is the person behind Ma Xianhong up to?

“However… those people are still on the island. If you want to find Seventeen, you still have a chance…” Elijah said slowly.

"where?"

"market..."

"Take me there." Zhang Chulan expressed his strong desire to find Seventeen; he had to find her.

"I'm very busy right now...you know, Behemoth is going to attack the island..."

Elijah's words were indeed true; as a guard of Nathan, he was now tasked with protecting King Nathan.

As he spoke, he said to the islander not far away, "Take them to the market..."

"Ah."

Upon hearing Elijah's words, the man nodded without any objection.

After informing Zhang Chulan of this news, Elijah did not linger any longer. In front of everyone, he once again used Flash and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already near Nathan's Palace.

Standing on high ground, he looked down at Behemoth's aircraft carrier on the sea... a faint glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Obviously.

He wasn't interested in whether Zhang Chulan could catch up with the group and rescue Seventeen; he was simply telling Zhang Chulan the information he needed to know.

In his mind, the future of the entire Nathan Island was more important at this moment.

...

the other side.

Having learned the news from Elijah, Zhang Chulan rushed to the market with the help of the islanders.

They were very fast; at full speed, they were more than twice as fast as usual.

Unfortunately... when they arrived at the market, they didn't manage to catch the group that had taken Seventeen away.

If this were a horse race, their horse would definitely not be as fast as the others...

What... happened here?

When Zhang Chulan and the others arrived at the market in a great hurry, they were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

What you see in your field of vision...

The so-called market was more like a garbage dump, with various building ruins and household waste mixed together on the ground, and in the center of this ruin was an open space.

At this moment, many corpses lay scattered across the open space, laid out haphazardly on the ground. These corpses were not intact, resembling a pile of minced meat, pieces here and there.

The still-wet blood was splattered on the open ground like paint, and together with the corpses scattered on the ground and the stench in the air, it created a strong visual impact.

Without a doubt...

A very brutal battle has just taken place here...

...

To find out what happened here... we need to move this timeline back a bit...

Before Zhang Chulan and his group even set foot on Nasen Island, Zhou Fengliu and his group, led by locals, stumbled upon the market.

Looking at the market's environment, Wang Zhenqiu couldn't help but sigh:

"Is this where King Nathan lives? Good heavens, is this King Nathan the Garbage King...?"

“It’s obvious…we’ve been tricked,” Xiao Zizai said.

As he smelled the aromas of the market, his previously calmed emotions began to stir again.

This place... has quite a few fellow sufferers like him...

“Fellow villager, you’re not being honest,” Zhou Fengliu said, glancing at the guide.

He now understood why King Nathan could so brazenly withhold his payment for his mission...

So "dishonesty" is the prevailing spirit of the entire Nathan Island.

At this moment, he could vividly picture a scene in his mind:

King Nathan, trying to fool Nathan's "family," began to speak in a serious tone:

"With your abilities, go work for me. If you don't earn a million a year, come to the palace and ask me, King Nathan, to make up the difference..."

When her family actually helped her with the work and came to ask her for money, King Nathan, sitting on his throne in Nathan Palace, flatly refused:

"I'll give you an egg..."

“You work for Wang and still want money... You should use that time to reflect on why you haven’t created more value for Nathan.”

King Nathan: "I love telling the truth."

Thinking of this scene, Zhou Fengliu made up his mind.

If he later finds King Nathan, and King Nathan really replies to him like that...

Then King Nathan is definitely going to suffer a lot.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was imagining the scene, the Nathan Islander who was being questioned also said a bunch of irrelevant things.

It's roughly saying: "Great forest god, King Nathan, etc..."

This brainwashed look makes Nathan Island seem like a pyramid scheme.

In the end, Wang Zhenqiu couldn't stand it anymore and gave the islander a good beating.

One shot of love-induced masturbation, and I was instantly blown away...

Although the locals didn't take them to Nathan Palace, they did at least take them to a crowded place.

As one of the most powerful forces on Nathan Island, the market is a gathering place for many idle Nathan people.

Upon seeing outsiders enter, they all poked their heads out, staring at Zhou Fengliu and his group with extremely aggressive eyes.

"What kind of work do you do?"

A man wearing a hoodie, with his hands in his pockets, asked Zhou Fengliu and the others a question.

"Wow, this is the real Colonel's accent!"

Wang Zhenqiu grumbled first, then added, "Is there anyone here who knows anything? Does anyone know the location of Nathan Palace...?"

“Nathan Palace?” Upon hearing this, the man raised an eyebrow:

What are you going to the palace for?

"That's not something you should be asking..."

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu and his group being so arrogant, the man's attitude became somewhat nonchalant:

"I can tell you, but what can you offer in exchange?"

"?"

"Still want to exchange?"

"This is a market... You're not exchanging anything of value? What? You want to get something for free? There's no such rule in a market."

The man shrugged and said that.

Upon hearing that this was a market and that valuable items needed to be exchanged... Zhou Fengliu and his group were slightly taken aback.

They're already wearing hooded bandit masks, and they still expect to follow the rules...
