Li Yili raised her hand and spread it out. Penny immediately bent down and placed the dark green gem in Li Yili's hand.

Li Yili held the gemstone and waved it at Wochi.

"After all, you've been given the opportunity to use this. Obviously, you have some status in your organization. Using these gems is a mandate for you to climb to the next level, right? You should... be loyal to your boss. Since you've so readily chosen to 'betray' him, ah~ that's something everyone will know very soon, just like everyone knows that gangsters have guns."

Wojci's expression was somewhat stiff; he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head at this moment.

“Fine, before answering who gave you these gems,” Li Yili held up the dark green gem, her eyes slightly narrowed, “Do you know what this is?”

“This is the legacy of the ancient gods, which has unleashed true power,” a longing gleamed in Woch’s eyes.

He still remembers the feeling after those gems were inlaid, how his right arm could grasp the wind and fling it away, and how his arm was cut into several pieces. Normally, he should have died from such injuries, but he was fine. Although he was weak all over and his arm was much shorter, he did not die and did not even see the wound.

"Has the true power... of the ancient gods' legacy... been unleashed?"

After repeating Wochi's words, Li Yili lowered her head and waved the gem in her hand at Wochi.

"In a sense, you're right. Thanks to this pollution, to the ancient divine legacy that unleashed true power, you didn't die from blood loss, and your wounds have healed. By the way, have you noticed that what you're seeing is different?"

Wochi was taken aback, not understanding what Li Yili meant.

Li Yili rolled her eyes and slapped Wochi across the face.

Watchdog's eyes widened in disbelief. He saw it—strange lines streaking along his face, one of them accompanied by the hair on his forehead.

That's the wind!

"This is!"

“Didn’t you notice? The gem on the back of your hand is gone,” Li Yili pointed to the back of Wochi’s right hand.

Wochi hurriedly reached for the back of his right hand, and just as Li Yili had said, the gem on the back of his hand had disappeared.

“Right now, it’s probably in the location of your heart,” Li Yili said, playing with the gem in her hand and giving Wochi a meaningful look. “With each heartbeat, your body receives filtered, fresh blood. Are you happy? You’ve become something similar to a chosen one, but much more stable.”

Wojci was startled, then slowly opened his eyes wide, a burning light flashing within them.

Li Yili recognized this brilliance; new possibilities had created a new path for Wochi, and Wochi was galloping along this path.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't think that far ahead. If I just wave my hand, I'll be cut into eight pieces," Li Yili smiled slightly. Rebecca, who was standing behind Li Yili, forcefully slapped the crumbs off her hands and opened her arms, her sharp claws reaching out.

Woch's expression changed, revealing an even more terrified look than before.

Li Yili was very familiar with this expression; it was the despair of her future being destroyed.

"You will... satisfy me, right?"

Woch nodded vigorously.

“Okay, okay, let’s start over. Let’s begin with something simple,” Li Yili said, clapping her hands and smiling brightly as she placed two emerald green gems in front of Wochi, shifting their positions from left to right.

Wochi swallowed hard, his eyes involuntarily following the two gems.

"Who are you going to sell those packed weapons to?" Li Yili nodded toward the boxes not far away. Don't tell me you usually just store them like this.

“This… I don’t know either, of course! I myself don’t understand, there has never been such a large-scale arms deal before,” Woch said anxiously when he saw that Li Yili’s expression remained unchanged. “It’s not just our Mafia that’s making preparations, other gangs are also interested in this.”

"Are you guys going to war?" Rebecca complained.

“Hmm—” Li Yili raised an eyebrow, he had a bad feeling, “Then the next question, who gave you these gems?”

"This... I don't know the truth either. This is a deal that only Mafia executives and godfathers know about. However, one executive said this."

Wojci hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice.

"It is [human]."

Chapter Sixty-Seven: You should at least try to persuade them to stay!

"Huh? Are you telling a lame joke? Of course we know that humans gave you these things. What else could it be but humans?"

Rebecca felt it was time to show her loyalty, so she immediately raised her paws, lifted Watchy off the ground, and roared at Watchy with her gaping maw.

"I don't think you quite understand the current situation! Do you want me to help you make it symmetrical?"

"No, no! I wasn't telling a lame joke!" Woch immediately waved his two hands, one long and one short, in a panic. "They really said that! It was [humans] who gave us these gems! I don't understand what that means, but I'm sure they weren't talking about ordinary humans!"

"Isn't that obvious!" Rebecca tightened her grip on Watch's neck with her right hand. "Why don't you just say it's a group of mysterious people?!"

“This, this is at least one direction,” Woch knew he didn’t have enough bargaining chips to buy his own life, his eyes darting left and right as he racked his brains to think, “It’s, it’s that thing! It’s definitely not the wasteland’s royal family, they’re just a bunch of stingy people, and they’ve always been wary of the Jurassic Circle, they would never let the legacy of the ancient gods that have unleashed their true power fall into our hands.”

"Steam, steam is suspected of being related to the Cult of the Steel God. After all, they've always been mysterious, and we don't know what kind of research they're doing!"

"There's more, there's still—"

"Are you using the process of elimination?" Li Yili snapped out of her daze, raised her hand and patted her forehead. "I can do that too~ Just analyze all the organizations that can produce the legacy of the ancient gods. By the way, the Galar Horn is quite a possibility, after all, the richest place in this world is Hagen, the capital of the Nibelungs, and the Galar Horn has always had objections to the Cult of Steam and Steel, which wants to replace the currency made of Rhine gold with its own currency."

"Recently, the wasteland has been playing a defensive game to avoid that plague, trying to stay out of it. Given the nature of Galar Horn, it wouldn't be in line with their style of doing things if they didn't stir up some trouble."

Wochi swallowed hard, and was about to speak when Li Yili waved her hand to interrupt him, "If you want to keep making things up, I advise you to give up. I don't want to hear any meaningless nonsense."

"I, I, I... Yes, that's right! The cadre! Piglet, the Mafia cadre, must know the details! He's in charge of supplies! And, and these guns! He must also know where these guns are going to be delivered!"

Noticing that Li Yili's gaze was becoming increasingly casual and perfunctory, Wochi betrayed the cadre without hesitation.

"What happened to your promise of loyalty?" Rebecca complained.

Wojci's expression turned serious. "I am absolutely loyal to Norman, the godfather of the Mafia. Although Piglet is an executive, I don't like him, and many people don't like him either. Piglet often takes kickbacks when he's doing business, and he also has shady relationships with people in the Millennium White Circle, quietly accumulating his own power! I think he must have taken some incredible kickback this time too!"

"Weapons aside, this concerns the legacy of the ancient gods who have unleashed true power. Who knows what Pigg is hiding? If Pigg harbors any ill intentions towards Father Norman, the entire Mafia, no, the entire Jurassic Circle, will be thrown into chaos!"

"Therefore, this is absolutely not an act of betrayal!"

Wochi looked righteous. Whether he had convinced Li Yili or not, he didn't know. In any case, he had convinced himself, so he had no guilt.

“Pig?” Li Yili tilted her head, resting her chin on her hand. “Hmm, I’ll remember that for now. Anything else?”

沃奇

His expression froze, and he stammered, "Isn't this enough?"

"Hmm? Ah~ you mean this?" Li Yili nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and stretched her arms to the sides. Penny and Gray leaned into Li Yili's arms on either side, their heads wearing raven masks resting affectionately on Li Yili's neck.

"you saw it."

"Look, what do you see?" Woch's eyes twitched wildly.

"It's no use just convincing me; you also have to convince the two of them. You know, women are generally more sensitive, and I don't want to be hunted down endlessly," Li Yili shrugged.

"You want me to work for you?" Woch swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "Do you want me to help you investigate who this 'human' the executive is? Or do you want me to betray Executive Pigg even more completely? Or... betray the entire Mafia?"

There was one thing he wasn't lying about: he was loyal to Father Norman. Even Snake, the most terrifying of all the executives, was someone he could have betrayed with a grain of salt. But Father Norman was the soul of the Mafia, the faith of these thugs.

How can a person betray their own faith and soul?!

Normally, he would have been a very manly man and died to prove his innocence, but!

He saw a new world, and he had already stepped into it with one foot in.

Seeing Wochi struggling internally, Li Yili scratched her face.

Actually... he hadn't thought that much about it. He was just hinting to Woch that he was going to kill him to silence him.

But Wochi's rapid-fire self-promotion made Li Yili hesitate.

He did need a qualified inside man to investigate things, such as this batch of guns. Dante might be able to find out something, but Dante was very vigilant and valued his life. Of course, most importantly, Dante was a good person, so he had no way to get Dante to obey him.

Wojci took a deep breath and let out a very difficult groan.

"Hmph—don't underestimate me! We thugs also have our loyalty! You want me to carry your load—"

"Hmm? Is that so? Then forget it," Li Yili waved her hand without any hesitation. "This day next year will be your death anniversary. I just don't know if anyone will burn any valuables for you."

Rebecca grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty sneer, and raised her right hand, her gleaming claws slowly stabbing out.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Li Yili really had no intention of trying to persuade him to stay, Wochi immediately lost his composure and waved his hand.

"I'll help, I'll help! What do you want me to do, brother? Don't worry, I won't betray you! Really! I promise!"

“But you betrayed me just a second ago, how could any normal person possibly believe you?” Rebecca retorted. “You can just go on your way in peace.”

As she spoke, Rebecca waved her hand eagerly.

"Alas--"

Woch immediately closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come. After hesitating for a moment, Woch cautiously opened his eyes. The sharp claws were less than a few centimeters away from his forehead. If they had been just a little bit lower, his head might have been split in two.

Rebecca clicked her tongue in frustration, lowered her right hand, and with a swift movement of her left, tossed Watch to the ground.

Li Yili, who had reached out and pressed on Rebecca's waist, leaned closer to Wochi and gently patted Wochi's shoulder.

"Don't forget what you said."

After saying that, Li Yili took Rebecca and left the basement.

It took Wojciech a long time to realize what was happening.

He peed.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: I can do whatever I want!

Unlike the deathly silence of the night in the Triple Circle, the Jurassic Circle was incredibly lively in the dead of night. Gangsters from different factions, carrying controlled knives, wandered the streets in groups, cursing and swearing. In the dark alleys, pairs of hungry eyes gazed out of the windows, waiting for easy prey to pass by.

Wearing a yellow raincoat, Li Yili walked on the rooftop, with Rebecca following behind her, her body hunched over. Every few steps, Rebecca would turn back to look in the direction of the butcher shop, her heavy tail sweeping back and forth.

"Can we really trust that guy named Woj?" After walking for a while, Rebecca couldn't help but complain, "That guy was saying one second that he would never betray that Godfather, and the next second he betrayed him."

Li Yili raised her finger and shook it from side to side.

"That's not important."

"So what's more important now? By the way... what do you actually want to do right now?" Rebecca muttered.

“If I were yesterday, I would probably have gotten so angry and frustrated because I didn’t know how to give myself a convincing reason that I would have hit you on the head,” Li Yili said, turning her head to give Rebecca a quiet look.

Rebecca immediately covered her head and looked at Li Yili pitifully.

“But now, I want to figure out what [humanity] is planning,” Li Yili exhaled a long breath.

“啊?你说沃奇说的那群神秘人?有什么好在意的,直接把那个皮格拖出来揍一顿,拷问拷问不就行了,”蕾贝卡舔了舔嘴唇,双眼冒绿光。

In her werewolf form, she only cared about two things: fighting and eating. Now she was full.

The Mafia executives knew he had many underlings.

"That's it! Why don't we just chop down those mysterious guys too!"
