After speaking, Shuuzou Suzuya smiled.
Marutei shaped his hand into a claw and trembled in front of him.
Yukinori Shinohara, standing nearby, saw this scene and rubbed his forehead, looking as if he had a splitting headache.
Yukinori Shinohara’s gaze swept over and immediately noticed Su Xiao behind Shuuzou Suzuya.
Marutei also noticed Su Xiao, and his previously tense expression disappeared instantly.
"Shinohara, was he temporarily assigned to us by headquarters? That’s great!"
No wonder Marutei was so happy; District 14 had been almost entirely cleaned up by Su Xiao, and everyone had witnessed it.
"Ah Wan, you might be celebrating too soon. Bai Ye has been transferred to the 24th District for ’Whack-A-Mole,’ along with Arima Kishou."
Marutei was taken aback.
"The depths of the 24th District? Besides the Zero Squad, it seems no one can reach that place. Has Bai Ye become a member of the Zero Squad? Doesn’t the Zero Squad have that rule?"
"Consider him a temporary member."
Upon hearing "temporary member," Marutei’s eyes lit up.
"Temporary~member, haha, that gives us room to maneuver. If the Black Death God is present during the actions in the 11th District, even if the Owl arrives, we won’t suffer too many casualties."
As Marutei spoke, he was already heading towards the door, passing Shuuzou Suzuya and warmly greeting Su Xiao.
"Upper class Bai Ye, we’ve met before, we’re having a meeting right now, you should join us."
Su Xiao was a bit stunned by this sudden ’warmth.’
"Upper class Bai Ye, the person you are waiting for will take some time to arrive, at least a day."
Su Xiao couldn’t delay any longer and took a seat in the meeting room.
"Um~, Third class Suzuya, you can sit in and listen for now."
Shuuzou Suzuya looked blankly at Marutei.
"Listen in from outside the door!"
"Bang." The meeting room’s door was firmly closed.
Marutei was clearly a vengeful person, often with a rogue-like demeanor, yet he was indeed a reliable person. The most update n0vels are published on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
Shuuzou Suzuya, wearing bright red slippers, leaned against the wall next to the door, and the meeting continued.
"Now, let’s talk about the focus of the operation. The Bronze Tree is obviously organized and disciplined, so I conclude that there is a leader among them, and from past cases, their leader... "
Marutei began to detail the operation, and Su Xiao yawned, resting his hand on his chin.
"I may give very harsh instructions, but please endure, I’m begging you.
The operation is set for a week later. Try to evacuate the surviving residents of the 11th District. Recently, there has been an unusually low number of ghouls in the 14th District, so relocate them there. I will handle the media.
That’s it, meeting adjourned."
The meeting finally ended, and Su Xiao had fallen asleep, having been exhausted from consecutive days of travel.
Yukinori Shinohara woke Su Xiao.
"Huh? Is it over? Marutei sure is long-winded."
Su Xiao yawned and stood up.
"Ah Wan is also worried about casualties this time. That’s the nature of our work, we can’t afford to be careless, nothing we can do about it."
Su Xiao and Yukinori Shinohara walked outside together; they had worked together before, and Su Xiao’s cleansing of the 14th District greatly impacted Yukinori Shinohara’s career.
After all, it was while Yukinori Shinohara managed the 14th District that Su Xiao cleansed it.
Just as they left the meeting room, they saw Marutei at the entrance.
At this moment, Marutei had a mischievous grin on his face as he approached Shuuzou Suzuya, who was leaning against the wall.
"You’re Shuuzou Suzuya, huh? Such a skinny little thing."
Shuuzou Suzuya didn’t respond, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Yukinori Shinohara, casually chatting with Su Xiao, saw this scene.
"This isn’t good, I’ll head over."
Yukinori Shinohara quickly walked over.
Marutei noticed Shuuzou Suzuya ignoring him, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he leaned his head closer to Shuuzou Suzuya with a creepy expression.
"Are you eating properly? Do you have a handle below?"
Clearly, this vengeful Marutei was causing trouble because Shuuzou Suzuya had interrupted his meeting earlier.
Upon hearing "do you have a handle below," Shuuzou Suzuya showed some reaction.
"Alright, alright. Ah Wan, Shuuzou just arrived at the subdivision. He’s probably tired, let him be. Let’s go eat."
Yukinori Shinohara pushed Marutei by the shoulders, and they walked out.
"What’s up, I was just chatting with him."
"Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow, let’s go."
Saying this, Yukinori Shinohara turned back, mouthing to Su Xiao to take care of it.
Shuuzou Suzuya had just arrived in District 20, unfamiliar with the place, and this little albino had no basic moral compass, easily causing trouble.
In District 14, only two people could manage Shuuzou Suzuya. One was Yukinori Shinohara, who reformed him and treated him well.
The second was Su Xiao. If Shuuzou Suzuya misbehaved, Su Xiao would beat him until he listened.
After Marutei left, Shuuzou Suzuya turned his head, looking in the direction Marutei had walked. Those pale red eyes deeply memorized Marutei’s appearance.
Even this little albino Shuuzou Suzuya held grudges.
"How do you plan to get revenge? With your current combat strength, Marutei can kill you in ten minutes."
Shuuzou Suzuya retracted his gaze.
"Bai Ye~, I’m hungry~."
Su Xiao took Shuuzou Suzuya out of the subdivision, and after searching the surroundings, they found a barbecue restaurant.
This barbecue restaurant was lavishly decorated, indicating a high average cost per person.
Su Xiao wasn’t lacking money; before leaving District 14, he received a substantial bonus from the 14th Ward Subdivision.
"Sir, please come inside."
The waiter led Su Xiao and Shuuzou Suzuya to a table.
Shuuzou Suzuya ordered a cut of beef so expensive it was jaw-dropping, then smiled foolishly at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao ordered a large amount of meat and fish.
Soon, a self-service grill with a wire mesh was placed in front of them.
The beef Shuuzou Suzuya ordered was a type of tenderloin called ’Wagyu.’
Oil droplets appeared on the surface of the beef on the grill, sizzling as animal fat dripped onto the charcoal fire.
Su Xiao tasted a piece; the flavor was indeed excellent, with tender meat, delicate texture, and a unique sauce that left a lingering taste.
After a hearty meal, Su Xiao walked down the street, somewhat bored. After entering the Derivative World, he had been constantly busy.
Now, suddenly having free time, he was a little unaccustomed to it.
The sky was slightly dim, and as he walked, Su Xiao saw a café appearing in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, the café’s name was clearly Anteiku!
This was a coincidence; Su Xiao wasn’t intentionally looking for Anteiku, he was simply taking a stroll after dinner.
Since he was already here, he might as well go in and take a look to get a sense of the ghouls’ side of things.
Although Anteiku’s combat strength was strong, with the manager, Shidōrenji, Magician Apes, Black Doberman, and others.
However, in District 20, unless Su Xiao took the initiative, Anteiku wouldn’t dare make a move unless they didn’t want to continue living in District 20.
Su Xiao pushed open the café door, and the bell on the door rang crisply.
A slightly sweet child’s voice came.
Su Xiao entered the café and saw a short-haired girl with tea-colored hair and fair skin in front of him.
He recognized this little girl; she was Fueguchi Hinami, who had recently lost her parents.
For some reason, Chusi froze upon seeing Su Xiao, as if she had seen something terrifying.
"No, don’t come over."
Chusi’s voice carried a sobbing tone as she spoke, falling to the ground.
Recently, Su Xiao had killed too many ghouls, surrounded by blood energy, while Chusi had an innate ability, an extraordinary perception force.
