Chapter 036 Bai Nuo's Actions
Li Chen felt he was finished.
In an operation targeting witches, he bypassed his direct superior, Yang Jian, the president of the witch branch, and directly cooperated with the research faction in the witch council headquarters to trap two witches.
However, only 14 hours later, the two trapped witches, the short, silver-haired witch, directly attacked several important figures in the Witch Council branch and headquarters. Under the witch's threat, they had no choice but to agree to her demands.
He bears unshirkable responsibility for the major blunder in the operation!
He's about to be held accountable by the headquarters!
Sure enough, he was then assigned to go with his direct superior, Chairman Yang Jian, to negotiate with the witch.
He knew what this meant.
This means that he and Yang Jian will be treated as expendable pawns.
They must find a way to quell the anger of those two witches, even if it costs them their lives!
Otherwise, his family will also be punished!
He only wanted to climb the ladder, was he wrong?
On what grounds?
These damned witches! No, these monsters! Why did they have to appear in the world?
Hatred, fear, and a host of other feelings of resentment filled Li Chen's heart.
While the witch was resting, he quietly slipped away from her and checked into a hotel.
He...cannot escape, nor dare to escape.
But things took a turn for the better, and the worst turned into the best.
He endured the anxiety and fear until the next day, when he unexpectedly received an appointment notice from the headquarters.
He was appointed as the acting president of the Dachang City Witch Council branch!
He was almost moved to tears. He thought to himself, "He has worked hard, even if he has not made any great contributions. How could he be held accountable for a small deficiency in ability or a minor mistake in action?"
Ability isn't important; choosing the right side is.
I'm sorry, Chairman Yang. Although I took good care of him before, but... everyone looks out for themselves!
After taking a shower and tidying his clothes, he hummed a song, processed some documents, and then arrived at an elementary school, the place the branch had arranged for the witch to attend.
Seriously, does that kind of monster deserve to go to school with ordinary kids?
What should we do if a child from an ordinary family is attacked by that monster?
Despite his dissatisfaction, he still had to do his job. Following the instructions of the headquarters, he needed to negotiate with the witch, the one with silver hair, and complete the cooperation.
The headquarters is truly unfathomable; it's said they've even released a few monsters.
Thinking this, Li Chen heard the bell and waited for the two witches who were going to school to come out.
……
"What are your thoughts on the Witch Era?" Luo Xi wanted to learn more about the Witch Era.
"And you? What are you thinking?" Rose seemed to still be pondering the information she had brought, and instead asked.
The third characteristic of that anomaly—that latent anomalies can transform into dominant anomalies and that this information is irreversible—seemed to give Rose a sense of unease.
Luo Xi didn't mind and directly stated her thoughts, "It's nothing more than strange occurrences and frequent births of witches..."
This is a golden age, with all sorts of extraordinary talents emerging. As a demon from beyond the realm, she deserves a share of this opportunity!
She felt a surge of excitement.
She wanted to compete with the geniuses of this era!
She is an extraterrestrial demon, a legendary transmigrator!
At this moment, Rose spoke softly, "I remembered something. Those memories were strange. The only thing I can confirm is that I didn't experience those things."
Are there more experts?
Luo Xi glanced back at Qiangwei, realizing she had misjudged the situation; this Nascent Soul child was actually a person of innate wisdom.
Alright, alright, looking at you, Rose, with your delicate features, you've actually reincarnated and started anew?
But so what? In this golden age, Rong Tianxin, the reporter, is only one person.
Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, what difference does it make if a Nascent Soul novice has to start over?
As a Qi Refining expert, she should attain the Primordial Chaos Realm in this era, achieving great freedom and liberation!
The car stopped.
"Come, my Princess Luo Xi, please get out of the carriage." She was carried out by Princess Rose.
No, she's so light?
When she gets back, I'll buy 10-kilogram weighted sandbags and tie them to all four limbs!
She must arrange the body-refining process as soon as possible!
Wait, it seems that Qiangwei took the card Yang Jian gave her...
I have no money.
Coming to her senses, Luo Xi lowered her head slightly, as if she wanted to hide herself away.
Being hugged like that in public is so embarrassing...
I glanced around furtively. Luckily, I was a few minutes late; most of the people picking up their kids from school had already left.
Wait, what did she see?
Bai Nuo timidly hid behind her younger sister Luo Xin, while in front of Luo Xin stood a person, Li Chen!
Struggling to get down, Luo Xi slowly walked up to Li Chen.
"Yang Jian is gone, aren't you leaving?" Luo Xi asked.
Li Chen looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Oh, it's Miss Luo Xi. I'm here on behalf of the Witch Council to cooperate with you."
"I said Yang Jian left, aren't you leaving?" Luo Xi repeated.
"He can go his way, I'll go mine," Li Chen glanced at the sky. "It's almost time for dinner, let's eat first."
Luo Xi glanced around, thinking it wouldn't be good to kill Li Chen in public, so she suppressed her murderous intent and said, "Let's talk about the cooperation first. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Li Chen was a little confused, but thinking about the task he would be given eventually, he agreed, "Okay, let's find a quiet place to discuss the cooperation first."
Walking silently, Li Chen recalled Luo Xi's words, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Yang Jian is gone... Yang Jian is gone, or rather, Yang Jian is dead.
Why did the witch ask that question?
Is she going to kill him?
Is she going to make an enemy of the Witch Council?
He simply didn't believe that this witch would dare to be an enemy of the Witch Council.
He refused to believe that this witch would dare to kill him!
Upon arriving at a conference room at the school, Li Chen, with a cold smile, invited her in.
Luo Xi and her group quietly entered the conference room and sat down in their chairs.
Li Chen walked straight in without any fear.
"Rose, are you sure? Li Chen bears some responsibility for Yang Jian's death?" Luo Xi asked calmly.
Rose simply nodded.
"Go outside and wait for us!" Seeing her younger sister Luo Xin's bewildered expression, Luo Xi shook her head helplessly and kicked Luo Xin out of the meeting room.
"Bai Nuo, wait a minute." Seeing that Bai Nuo was also timidly about to follow Luo Xin out, Luo Xi stopped Bai Nuo.
"Bai Nuo, why are you so afraid of him?" Luo Xi asked, puzzled.
"I remember... I remember him, he used that to shock me before," Bai Nuo replied softly.
Understanding the situation, Luo Xi left Bai Nuo behind, stood up, closed the door, and returned to Bai Nuo's side.
"How about I avenge you now?" Luo Xi said in a coaxing tone, remembering that Bai Nuo seemed to be about the same age as her younger sister Luo Xin.
"No, no." Bai Nuo looked like she was about to cry.
With a sigh, Luo Xi was about to kick Bai Nuo out as well, but Bai Nuo spoke up, "I... I want to take revenge myself!"
...I forgot that Bai Nuo killed more than 200 people when she turned into a witch.
Thinking this through, Luo Xi still spoke up, "You can do this, but no one else is allowed to use magic freely, understand?"
Luo Xi's tone turned stern in her last sentence.
Bai Nuo nodded and looked at Li Chen.
Li Chen lost his composure and asked sharply, "What are you trying to do?"
Luo Xi saw a look of terror on Li Chen's face. He walked awkwardly to the power strip and, like a zombie, ripped off the power strip's cord and gripped it tightly!
