Then let them offer their loyalty!

But... that was Qiu Tu's original intention.

Thinking of this, Huang Shangzong couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Even though he saw through everything and understood Qiu Tu's intentions, he had to admit that... after this recording was placed in front of him, he could no longer trust Yan Chen.

Therefore, his recent support for Yan Chen to become a state assemblyman again and serve as Liu Xiong Yuan's deputy was simply dropped...

Qiu Tu is playing a game of open strategy. It's just that this open strategy is somewhat insidious and manipulative, making people feel uneasy.

This is also why Huang Shangzong disliked Qiu Tu.

He felt that Qiu Tu was too calculating and liked to play tricks. Such a person could thrive in the lower ranks, but was not suitable for a high position.

Thinking of this, Huang Shangzong gradually came to his senses.

Since he withdrew his support for Yan Chen a few days ago, Yan Chen may not have known what was going on at first, but after a few days, he should have figured out the whole story.

The fact that Qiu Tu might be a follower of Zhao Ji is likely his counterattack.

Yan Chen also used the same overt strategy.

Colluding with evil gods, or even becoming a follower of evil gods, is a grave taboo. Once discovered, it is a serious crime.

Therefore, even if Huang Shangzong did not want to become a "pawn" in the struggle between the two, he had no choice but to take over.

Besides... he didn't like Qiu Tu to begin with.

'Damn it. How come... I, the speaker, feel like a puppet being manipulated by two directors?'

'They've schemed against me, they've schemed against me all along.'

Huang Shangzong touched his head, cursing under his breath.

He'd seen through it all. These scheming people have truly filthy hearts.

He's no match for someone who relies on brute force.

With that in mind, he didn't bother to think about it any further.

As long as he stays true to himself, he'll let the two of them do whatever they want.

"Okay. Let Yan Yan go with you."

After making this decision, Huang Shangzong felt inexplicably tired.

He leaned back in his chair, his tall frame looming over him. Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright. You can go now."

"At that time, you can arrange a team of female special agents in my name to protect the three of you."

"Be careful when you go to the New Territories."

"Qiu Tu is no simple character. You three girls had better be careful."

"No matter where you go, bring good people with you, so that he doesn't find any loopholes in your plan."

"Yes!" Ellie replied.

Then she bowed and turned to leave Huang Shangzong's office.

Her pink and blue pigtails swayed behind her, making her look both quirky and a bit unconventional.

Huang Shangzong's gaze fell on the bouncing pigtails, and he wanted to reach out and call out to her to remind her: You're already a section chief, you should be mindful of your image and influence.

But... he raised his large hands, but in the end he still lowered them.

'I really don't understand these young people! What are they even thinking?!'

Thinking this way, Huang Shangzong didn't bother to think about Qiu Tu, his daughter, Yan Yan, or Ellie.

He simply shut his ears and picked up a document from the table.

The document clearly stated "Allied Elimination & 12-City Conquest Plan"...

.......

Tang Feifei is a person who always acts decisively and efficiently.

After Qiu Tu explained the method for refining the regional central hub to her, she immediately took out the healing-type cataclysmic artifact and cataclysmic potion that the Tang family had prepared for her.

According to her... she originally planned to get injured after the big battle and then take a few days off without feeling guilty.

But... Qiu Tu has now prepared the regional central hub. She really can't rest anymore.

So, after using a round of healing artifacts and potions, she successfully recovered completely. Then, without delay, she took the golden beetle and drove to "Langyue City".

Long Yuet City is not far from New Territories City and is one of the 16 cities of Tung Yip Chau.

Based on the speed of the jeep, it should take six hours to arrive.

Given Qiu Tu's current status, it's definitely impossible for him to accompany Tang Feifei.

The central control of the refining area can only be monitored by Tang Feifei herself.

Fortunately... Tang Feifei herself is exceptionally strong. Unless there are two or three fourth-tier evil gods, they won't be able to defeat her easily.

Furthermore, the "Bright Moon Region" only has 36 leyline nodes, and Tang Feifei is a fourth-tier Cataclysmic Being. The time required to refine the regional hub should be very short.

There's no need to worry too much.

Therefore, Qiu Tu simply asked Tang Feifei to leave the clone-type cataclysmic treasure "Two Realms Bead" to him.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Tang Feifei can use her clone to directly request help from Qiu Tu...

Of course, to show his thoughtfulness, Qiu Tu also gave his "trigger paper doll" to Tang Feifei.

Tang Feifei, who thought Qiu Tu only had this one piece of equipment to save his life, was suddenly moved...

After watching Tang Feifei leave New Territories City, Qiu Tu returned to the Detective Agency.

Although Xie Yue is dead, the whole matter is not over yet.

Leaving aside the fact that Tang Feifei hasn't yet advanced to the level of a regional master, let's talk about Mu Ye and Jing Jiao who escaped beforehand...

Mu Ye and Xie Yue are merely partners and are unlikely to seek revenge against Qiu Tu. But Jing Jiao... well, that's another story.

Although whales are cowardly and outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

However... don't underestimate such people. They often don't accomplish much, but if you happen to give them an opportunity, they might just do something big!

so.....

Only dead enemies are good enemies.

'We still need to find a way to kill the whale shark.'

Aside from Tang Feifei's advancement to the position of regional lord and the defeat of the whale shark, there were other events as well.

Qiu Tu also faces the challenge of consolidating control of the Investigation Bureau and figuring out what exactly is flashing before his eyes...

Especially the latter.....

It's important to understand that Qiu Tu isn't actually afraid of force. No matter how strong someone is physically, without brains, they're just a tool to be used.

After all, if this world is about who has the strongest fighting power, then when two people with a conflict meet, they just need to show off their strength, and the weaker one can just commit suicide instantly. What's the point of fighting then?

Moreover, Qiu Tu is not afraid of intellectual battles. He has the accumulated wisdom of billions of people from the era of the internet information explosion in his previous life, as well as rich experience in fraud from that time.

No matter who he encounters, he's willing to fight... and if he can't win, he can just run away!

Therefore, what he fears most is actually something inexplicable like the "Yellow Mist Phantom".

The power in this world is rather bizarre; no one knows what strange entities they might attract by doing something wrong.

Therefore, if he couldn't figure it out, Qiu Tu was really having trouble sleeping and eating...

As for how to figure this out, Qiu Tu had a general idea in mind...

He had asked Tang Feifei about it today, and on the way back with her, he also called Qin Shuman to inquire whether the security department had any relevant records.

After receiving a negative answer, Qiu Tu was left with only one choice: La Riluo...

Given the Tang family's background and resources, and the intelligence capabilities of Qin Shuman's security system, if there is no relevant information, then the probability of obtaining intelligence from the shelter is already very low.

Fortunately, besides the sanctuary, Qiu Tu also has people on the side of the evil god.

He also had a Lariel, whose loyalty level was 36, imprisoned beside him...

Perhaps starting with her will yield different results...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't delay and went straight back to his office at the Investigation Bureau. He then opened the "Gold-Loving Wallet" and summoned Larilu...

Even though he had seen Larilu many times, Qiu Tu was still somewhat amazed by her beauty every time he saw her.

This evil goddess girl is like the most perfect creation made by God, breathtakingly beautiful.

Even though she was just a remnant soul, her mere presence was enough to draw everyone's attention.

On a face as white as jade, deep, cold, crimson eyes gleamed with an evil light, like a bottomless abyss.

His lips curled slightly upwards, as if he always carried a playful smile, giving people a sense of lawlessness.

She was like a blue flame in the darkness, burning quietly with an eerie beauty.

Perhaps having grown accustomed to Qiu Tu's imprisonment, La Riluo, bored, conjured up a pen and a notebook.

Then she lay on the altar, her slender legs crossed, her fair, jade-like little feet swaying back and forth, writing and drawing.

However, whether she was writing in the script of evil gods or deliberately drawing strange symbols, Qiu Tu glanced at it twice but still couldn't understand what she was writing.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, La Rilu stuck out her pink tongue and licked the tip of her pen, then said nonchalantly, "I'm writing bad things about you."

She rested her chin on her hand, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "I'm going to record all your romantic escapades."

"Once you become a big shot, we'll secretly spread this around and ruin your reputation!"

Qiu Tu: .....

It's only because La Riluo doesn't have a body right now, otherwise Qiu Tu would definitely have given her two punches, "Bang bang!" to show her why the flowers are so red!

At this moment, perhaps sensing something, Larilu was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep sniff with her high nose!

A moment later, she sat up abruptly from the altar. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Qiu Tu, exclaiming in surprise, "You killed Xie Yue!?"

Qiu Tu was also a little surprised when he heard this.

He wasn't lying; instead, he asked curiously, "How did you know?"

When La Riluo saw that Qiu Tu did not deny it, her eyes became even more excited.

She looked intently at Qiu Tu and explained, "The evil god is the darling of heaven and earth, so after the evil god dies, strange phenomena will appear in heaven and earth."

"And those who were with him when he died would also bear some of his scent. It's a kind of mark."

"Of course, this aura will diminish over time."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded in understanding.

Before he could extract any more information, Larilu asked expectantly, "Qiu Tu... so you really killed Xie Yue?"

Since things had come to this point, Qiu Tu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Larilu quickly replied, "Then... can you keep your promise to me?"

What La Riluo was talking about was the empty promise Qiu Tu made to her.

At the time, in order to lure Larilu back to the "Soul Altar" and to obtain more information, Qiu Tu told her that the "Regional Central Hub" had been stolen by Whale Shark and Evil Moon.

Once you defeat Whale Shark and Evil Moon, you will be given a "regional hub" to restore her strength.

Unexpectedly, Larilu brought up the old issue again.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's mind immediately began to race.

After a moment... he had an idea.

He smiled and nodded to Lariro, then said, "Of course, Your Highness. When have I ever failed to keep my promise to you?"

"Even when I say I'll sleep with you, I've always been serious about it."

Larilu: ......

Lariluo's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly she rolled her eyes.

Having been deceived by Qiu Tu multiple times, she was not easily fooled—Qiu Tu's words were too ambiguous.

So she pressed on precisely, asking, "The thing you promised me is the 'regional core,' right?"
