Chapter 774 772 Chiefs Warning_1

Chapter 774: Chapter 772 Chief’s Warning_1 Chapter 774: Chapter 772 Chief’s Warning_1 “So we are leaving now?”

Having received the Abyssal Chronicle, Su Gao confirmed his plan with Fu Qian.

“In principle, yes, but there’s no need to rush, after all, Yasui has had a lot to deal with lately.”

Fu Qian nodded, his mind, however, was on the gains from this trip.

The infamy concept concocted by Yasui Tokiyuki was even more bizarre than imagined, and its implications likely immense.

In such circumstances, it was understandable why they were so anxious about their actions.

A suspicious individual had barely shown their face when a Divine Envoy came knocking to probe the truth.

From this perspective, it would now be unwise to react too strongly, as it could end up being a clear case of disturbing the snake by hitting the grass for Yasui Tokiyuki and his people, potentially forcing their hand.

“Good.”

Although Su Gao didn’t understand why Fu Qian’s plan had changed after just a few minutes, he still nodded in acknowledgment.

…

Thinking about it, weren’t the recent missions too concentrated?

After suggesting that Su Gao should go back and rest for a while, Fu Qian sipped his still warm tea while recalling his recent experiences.

The fact that two consecutive missions took place on Ye Island and both were related to Yasui Corp was a bit too coincidental for comfort.

As for why this was happening, Fu Qian understood it as either sheer coincidence or that the missions could be influenced by his own actions.

For instance, the actual leak may be more extensive than what he had seen, but his actions while in the guise of a Messenger could determine which situations he encountered.

If this were the case, the existence of the warehouse was indeed very thought-provoking.

But whatever the case, it didn’t seem like a bad thing at the moment, serving as an additional resource while he was up to certain activities.

Could this also be considered a warehouse perk? A reminder not to forget to clock in while wandering?

In the midst of his rampant train of thought, Fu Qian set down his teacup, put on a white mask, and then added another over the top.

No matter what, he could not afford to let his guard down – who knew when the Goddess Envoy might return?

…

As it turned out, although the Goddess Envoy did not return, an unexpected visitor did come calling.

And their power was only slightly lesser.

This little courtyard has indeed seen a stream of significant visitors lately!

Sizing up the friendly-faced uncle at the door, Fu Qian silently shook his head in contemplation.

About forty or fifty years old, meticulously groomed, with long black hair combed back and a spotless brown robe that screamed wealth and leisure at first glance.

It was no surprise, after all, he was a Demigod.

“Welcome, who are you looking for?”

Without any intention of removing his masks, Fu Qian asked directly.

“Any will do.”

The uncle indeed seemed easygoing, smiling as he examined the mask on Fu Qian’s face, then stepping forward the next moment.

“It’s quite an interesting design, isn’t it? Among those masks on the street, this is also my favorite. Simple brushstrokes yield such a marvelous effect, leaving a lasting impression.”

“Indeed.”

Lately, Fu Qian’s responses to questions had clearly developed certain bad habits.

“Sorry, that was rather impolite.”

The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly realize something the next moment.

“Let me introduce myself, Yin Hehong.”

That name, he had just heard it not long ago!

It seemed Su Gao had introduced him as the Chief of the Night Watchman in the Ye Island region?

Yasui Tokiyuki actually chose to take the initiative and poke the higher-ups of the Night Watchman? Very bold indeed!

Fu Qian doesn’t believe that the visit from the Chief of the Ye Island has nothing to do with the Goddess Envoy.

It seems Su Gao’s demigod identity really has caused a strong reaction.

During his contemplation, Fu Qian nodded slightly without pretending to be unaware.

“So it’s Chief Yin,” he said. “Excuse me, I’m not familiar with the Supernatural World and didn’t recognize you just now.”

“That’s because unlike Yasui Tokiyuki, I rarely show my face. It’s normal not to recognize me.”

The smile didn’t fade from Yin Hehong’s face, and he seemed not to mind at all.

“My purpose today is quite straightforward. I heard that a low-key demigod has appeared, so I came especially to visit.”

At the same time, he apparently didn’t plan to beat around the bush, directly stating his intention.

“Lady Violetta.”

As Yin Hehong spoke, he looked past Fu Qian, but Su Gao had already come downstairs with an expressionless face.

Although she knew of him, she didn’t seem very familiar with Yin Hehong.

And right after a Divine Envoy had just come to scout the place, a demigod showing up right after, to avoid exposing Fu Qian, she chose to come downstairs immediately.

“Chief Yin, it’s an honor to meet you,” Su Gao said, nodding slightly in greeting, taking into account the introduction Yin Hehong had just provided.

“It should be my honor. Ye Island has recently seen quite a few unfamiliar demigods,” said Yin Hehong, examining Su Gao closely before ultimately laughing heartily, his tone full of emotion.

“So young!”

“Although we can’t trust the appearance of demigods, I can still feel Lady Violetta’s vibrant young soul. It truly makes one envious!”

“Honestly, it was Yasui Tokiyuki who told me Lady Violetta was here,” the Chief of the Night Watchman said straightforwardly, expressing envy before moving straight to the point.

“And, as a matter of duty, I assume you can understand my reason for this visit?”

“Understood, although Yasui Tokiyuki might be a bit overly anxious,” Su Gao replied, her face betraying a rare coldness as if caught off guard by the unmasking of her demigod status.

“Perhaps, especially since his situation is indeed tense right now,” said Yin Hehong, shaking his head with a smile as he noted Su Gao’s reaction.

“The conflict between Yasui Corp and the Siren has been escalating, with several large-scale clashes occurring recently.”

“At such a sensitive time, an unidentified demigod appearing on Ye Island, and carefully hiding her identity, his anxiety is somewhat understandable.”

It was indeed understandable.

Fu Qian thought to himself as he acknowledged Yin Hehong’s candid declaration of intent.

Following the departure of the Goddess Envoy, Fu Qian had considered several potential developments.

Yasui Tokiyuki’s choice to directly escalate the matter to the Night Watchman was one of the more intense reactions he had envisioned.

There is a fundamental difference between a Fourth-Phase Transcendent and a demigod; once Su Gao’s true strength was exposed, the previously maintained balance of suspicion would be shattered.

The intent behind the actions the two of them had taken before was undoubtedly becoming blurred.

After all, while it’s malicious to fish for information, having a demigod intervene was admittedly a bit excessive.

Yasui Tokiyuki must want to confirm the true intent.

In such a case, his choice to escalate the matter to the Night Watchman, allowing them to “interrogate,” or even to surveil, was restricting their movements.

In times of external threats, it was clearly not the best but an acceptable choice.

And Yin Hehong’s swift arrival also highlighted two points, first, Yasui Tokiyuki must have dealt with him extensively, able to reach out immediately.

And second, from Yasui Tokiyuki’s standpoint, the current situation was indeed tense; he seemed unwilling to allow any uncontrollable events to occur.
