Chapter 1922: How Dare He Be So Bold?
Spending a hundred and twenty million in one go, and still having plenty left—anyway, it was heart-wrenching money scammed from others, so it didn't hurt to spend it!
Hmm~ Jiang Pain could only console himself like that!
But at least his personal safety was temporarily assured. After checking out the room and securing a hideout, Jiangnan led the group to stroll the streets and get fake IDs!
They sold the looted supplies, took in the sights of Black Street, looked for any treasures usable at home, and sought channels to offload the Incense Beads!
He wasn't worried about being targeted at all!
...
Meanwhile, inside the temporary detention room of the Hilde Guild!
The fake Jiangnan, Mo Mo, and Xing Cheng were all bound in a light prison, unable to move a muscle!
Their golden fingers stuck in their mouths, their eyes filled with terror!
And a Star Breaker-ranked Lumu clan member stood before the interrogation room!
Its body was a translucent pink, as bouncy and smooth as a jelly slime!
Its figure was explosive—though it had the face of a cold, aloof beauty, it looked utterly adorable!
Especially its bouncy body, which inspired a desire to reach out and give it a squeeze!
The Lumu clan, also one of the top thirty ranked races in the Star Domain Sequence, had a soft body that could take any shape!
Beside them, Lun Qin held a Diamond communicator, slightly bowing his head:
(๑ớ₃ờ) "Lady You Lulu, this is that Jiangnan! He was just sent here a little while ago!"
You Lulu rested her chin on her hand and nodded:
(｡͡°ก͡°) "Has the Starlight Alliance been notified? Have the Apocalypse Race come to pick him up!"
"After all, the bounty was put up by them, and the matter might involve the continued existence of Lady Venerable Man Ti!"
"Such racial disputes—it's best for us at Hilde Guild not to meddle too much!"
Lun Qin smiled: "Vice President's insight is sharp. We've already notified them. The message was just sent—they should send someone to pick him up soon!"
You Lulu raised an eyebrow: (｡◔～◔ิ) "And that Osas guy? Any trace of his whereabouts?"
Lun Qin's expression stiffened:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪_꒪‧̣̥̇) "The people we sent to tail him lost him as soon as they went out. Maybe he doesn't want us to know his trail?"
"But he left a communicator—we can contact him with this!"
As he spoke, he pulled out that Diamond Giant Durian!
You Lulu looked curious:
(｡•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "A communicator shaped like that? How strange~"
"Speaking of which, what was that ring that could restrain the Angel race? I've never seen anything like it!"
While they were waiting for the Apocalypse Race to arrive...
At the Wanxiang Star Starlight Tower, Presidents Office!
Wen Ge was pacing anxiously, followed by a man and a woman from the Apocalypse Race!
They were Wen Sha and Wen Da—Wen Ge's right-hand men!
Wen Ge spoke:
(‧̣̥̇°᷄益°᷅) "You mean to say, you won't give me even a single chance? I know you have Incense Bead resources!"
"Just do me this favor, consider it a personal debt. If you name your price..."
Before he could finish, Fa Ma said indifferently:
(￢_￢) "It's not about money. Don't make this difficult for me, or even this little friendship between us won't hold!"
Everyone was hoping the Apocalypse Race would fall. His Stardust Clan ranked seventh in the Sequence!
At this time, even if they had the resources, they absolutely couldn't release them to the Apocalypse Race!
Racial conflicts weren't something personal favors or face could sway!
Wen Ge gritted his teeth, his entire demeanor turning irritable!
Just then, the office door opened, and Seraphim Sha Ye walked in!
"The latest news from the Starlight forces: That Divine Angel named Jiangnan didn't just hijack the Starlight Alliance's cargo—he also wiped out the Star Pirates of Chaotic Star Sea!"
Wen Ge was stunned, then said with hatred:
(•́益•̀ꐦ) "Don't let him fall into my hands, or else..."
Sha Ye smiled: "He's already been caught. The Hilde Guild just reported that Jiangnan has been arrested and is currently detained in the interrogation room!"
"His name has also been removed from the wanted list. I told you, with such a heavy bounty, he wouldn't last half a day!"
Wen Ge's eyes lit up: "Caught? Good! Excellent! I'll go there now!"
With that, he immediately led his people out of the office!
Sha Ye turned her head:
꒰ঌ(乛～乛〃)໒꒱ "President, I'll go along too. I want to see which foolhardy bastard dares to impersonate an Angel and run a scam!"
"The might of the Celestial Kingdom cannot be defiled!"
Fa Ma smiled: "Go ahead. Handle it cleanly!"
...
At the Hilde Guild detention room, Wen Ge and Sha Ye arrived directly through a Star Gate!
You Lulu's eyes lit up:
(｡⁰̷̴˘⁰̷̴) "Oh? Finally here to pick him up? I can..."
Wen Ge: (￢_￢) "Long time no see. Good. Ate already. Came through Star Gate. Where's the person? Got it. Open up and let me in!"
You Lulu was completely choked off. This was why she hated dealing with the Apocalypse Race!
They didn't even give her a chance to speak. Being calculated like this was infuriating!
The detention room opened, and Wen Ge strode up to Jiang Angel!
His Domain suddenly expanded, annihilating everything inside the room, even the light prison vanished!
His large hand directly clamped onto Jiang Angel's neck!
(ꐦ▼皿▼) "I won't ask you how Winton died, or how Banken died. I'll only ask you one thing: Where is Chu Ya?"
"Don't play clever. If I want, I can reduce a planet to dust! Killing you is but a thought away!"
"Three seconds! Answer my question!"
Lun Qin clicked his tongue. As expected of the Apocalypse Race—their ability was truly grotesque!
Jiang Angel's eyes were filled with terror, twitching uncontrollably!
Wen Ge frowned: (ꐦ･᷅益･᷄) "Why can't he talk?"
Just as Lun Qin was about to speak, Wen Ge continued:
"Hmm? Is it because of this ring?"
With a tug, he yanked the golden finger out of Jiang Angel's mouth!
Jiang Angel finally broke free from the paralysis state!
His expression was agonized:
(´థ口థ) "No... I..."
Wen Ge glared: (ꐦ｀⌒´) "What do you mean 'no'? Don't doubt my power! Where is Chu Ya?"
Just as he was about to go harsh, in the next moment, Jiang Angel's wings suddenly vanished, and his body warped, reverting to its original form!
It was a metallic race with a bright silver sheen—precisely the captured Se Se!
Not just him, but the fake Mo Mo and Xing Cheng also had their wings disappear, turning into a Northern Barbarian clan member and a Crystal clan member respectively!
At that moment, the entire detention room fell silent. Lun Qin's face turned white, his heart sinking halfway.
Not Jiangnan?
Sha Ye stepped forward and touched Se Se's halo. Though it looked no different, it was fundamentally distinct from an Angel halo!
Her expression turned extremely ugly.
"This isn't even an Angel!"
Wen Ge's eyes blazed with fury:
(☄益☄ꐦ) "What the hell is going on? Is the Hilde Guild messing with me?"
You Lulu's expression also grew serious:
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "You... let go for a moment. This metallic race seems to have something to say!"
Wen Ge immediately released his grip—he couldn't escape anyway, within his Domain!
As soon as he let go, Se Se's eyes bulged, mouth wide open, screaming into Wen Ge's ear:
(థʚథ#) "Cluck cluck~ Wake up! Cluck cluck cluck cluck!"
The sudden chicken cries stunned Wen Ge!
Then rage surged within him:
(ꐦ◣д◢) "What the hell are you doing? Are you asking for death? You..."
Before he could finish, the other two on the ground also jumped up with a carp twist!
They ran in front of several Apocalypse race members and started clucking like mad!
ε(;´༎ຶ◊༎ຶ`)(꒦ິ◊꒦ີ*)з
The once orderly detention room had now turned into a massive chicken farm!
You Lulu was dumbfounded:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪△꒪‧̣̥̇) "Not only is he not an Angel, but he's also brain-damaged? Got swapped out?"
Enraged, Wen Ge punched Se Se in the gut: "Speak like a human! Who are you? Where's Jiangnan?"
Se Se curled up like a shrimp from the punch, spitting out a mouthful of iron-blood!
Then he slumped to the ground, his rear end sticking up high!
"No! It's coming, it's coming! Ahhh~"
○|￣|_=з=з=з=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(egg)
With a "boom," a giant golden egg shot out from Se Se's rear end, slamming into the detention room's alloy wall at high speed!
Then it ricocheted crazily around the room...
You Lulu's jaw dropped:
∑(°口°｡) "Metallic races can lay eggs? I never knew that!"
Wen Ge was fuming by now. He grabbed the golden egg and crushed it to dust!
"I'm asking you! Where is Jiangnan?"
Se Se shook his head furiously:
ε(;´༎ຶ◊༎ຶ`) "It wasn't me! Really not me! I was wandering around Wanxiang Starport when I saw the wanted Jiangnan swaggering down the street with a bunch of Teletubbies!"
"Wasn't that free bounty? I was about to make my move, but before I could, he threw a sack over my head!"
"Then he pulled me out, molded me into his shape, stuffed me back in the sack, and sent me here to collect the bounty!"
"I'm innocent! I've been wronged!"
The other two passersby also wept bitterly, saying they were caught before they could make a move!
One was nabbed on a commercial street, the other on an air train!
At that moment, the atmosphere in the room hit rock bottom!
Wen Ge's murderous gaze fell on Lun Qin!
Lun Qin stepped back, face pale:
(☍﹏⁰) "Teletubbies? That black guy is Jiangnan? Using someone else as a decoy? He turned himself in for the bounty?"
"Hiss~ So those Star Pirates were also..."
No wonder he didn't get a Hunter badge!
Sha Ye squinted: "Just received word: Jiangnan indeed wiped out the Star Pirates of Chaotic Star Sea. He came to trade the pirates for bounty and turned himself in at the same time?"
Lun Qin shuddered:
Σ(°Д° "Starport? Train? Hiss~"
Like the wind, he ran to the adjacent detention room, which still held four to five thousand unopened sacks!
Afraid of opening a can of worms, they'd just piled them there unopened!
Now, Lun Qin didn't care anymore and frantically tore open sacks!
As each hunter tumbled out of the sacks, Lun Qin's face darkened!
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿)̄ "Those missing from the Starport, commercial street, and air train have all been found!"
It wasn't Star Pirate grunts at all, dammit!
And they'd been posting missing person notices looking for the missing! The missing were right here, locked up in the Hilde Guild's detention room!
What difference was there between that and calling your own phone with your phone to look for your phone?
