Capítulo 1585: Chapter 853: Two Oscar-winning Actors
He Jinqiu’s haggard appearance took Qing Chen by surprise.
It was as if he had contracted a terminal illness, with his life nearing its end.
In Qing Chen’s impression, the other party always wore a ticulously neat suit, with his tie clipped to his shirt, and he held a refined Black Scepter.
His deanor was both haughty and fierce, always standing tall and straight.
But now, He Jinqiu looked like an ordinary young man, much thinner, to the point that his suit seed too big for him, and he had switched to a thin jacket.
Of course, his deanor remained fierce, capable of erupting into violence at any mont, just like his Heart Sword.
No.
He Jinqiu was even more dangerous now.
When a person enters the countdown of their life, they either beco timid and fear death or beco fearless and advance with courage.
He was the latter.
At first, Qing Chen was a bit nervous because he subconsciously thought He Jinqiu was here to assassinate the Fifth Princess and destroy the floating airship. He didn’t even know how to escape and instinctively wanted to find a parachute.
But he quickly realized that wasn’t the case; He Jinqiu wasn’t here to kill anyone; he was obviously in a partnership with the Fifth Princess!
At this mont, He Jinqiu didn’t seem to recognize the disguised Qing Chen. He just calmly glanced at Qing Chen before discreetly walking into the command room to have a private conversation with the Fifth Princess.
“Why did you leave the floating airship privately earlier, and where did you go?” the Fifth Princess asked.
This ti, the hydraulic-operated Alloy Gate closed, isolating all sound so that even Lian Qingchen couldn’t hear what was being said inside.
But didn’t He Jinqiu train on Whale Island with Zhi Lanxing in his mouth just a month ago?
Wait, since the attack on the headquarters of the Kingdom and the Future Organization, he hadn’t appeared again.
He hadn’t returned to his country or to Whale Island.
So, in the Outer World, He Jinqiu should still be in North Arica?
And He Jinqiu’s appearance also confird Qing Chen’s view of the Fifth Princess:
This Princess Royal truly was ambitious, using every resource available to build a foundation for her claim to the throne.
Being able to cooperate with soone like He Jinqiu, the Leader of Kyushu in the Outer World, it seed recruiting a “Rebel Spy” like himself was no big deal.
The Fifth Princess had broad ambitions!
He Jinqiu definitely couldn’t enter the city; as soon as he appeared under the Skynet System, he’d be facially recognized like Zhong Yu initially was.
So even if He Jinqiu entered the city, he could only stay on the Fifth Princess’s floating airship.
But what did the Fifth Princess have that required his cooperation?
Qing Chen continued walking. He needed to organize the B-Class Experts first; he planned to create a low-budget version of the Shadow Troop to use in the West Continent and then recycle them afterward.
It’s a bit of a pity that among these more than two hundred experts, only twelve were B-Class Awakeners, the rest were Genetic Warriors. In other words… only twelve pairs of eyeballs were usable.
Before Qing Chen could reach the second level of the ship’s hold, footsteps ca from behind.
He heard He Jinqiu softly say in English, “Steward Brian, wait a mont.”
Qing Chen turned to him, “Hello, is there sothing I can help with?”
He Jinqiu smiled, “The Fifth Princess instructed to assist you in organizing the Third Division. She says you have exceptional talent, though your strength is lacking sowhat. It just so happens I have strength but no managent skills, so being your assistant complents perfectly.”
Qing Chen felt a bit powerless to complain.
How could He Jinqiu, who managed an organization like Kyushu so ticulously, becoming the top intelligence organization in the Outer World, have no managent skills? So, Qing Chen was acting, and He Jinqiu was, too.
He Jinqiu spoke with such sincerity; if it weren’t for his unchanged appearance, Qing Chen might have believed him!
Qing Chen asked, “What is your strength level?”
He Jinqiu replied, “A-Class Genetic Warrior. Due to injecting a flawed Genetic Potion, I developed cancer and don’t have much ti left.”
Qing Chen’s heart tightened. He felt that the latter half of the sentence was true, and He Jinqiu’s haggard state was indeed due to cancer!
At this mont, because of his extre weight loss, wrinkles appeared at He Jinqiu’s eye corners when he spoke with a smile, and his temples beneath the fisherman’s hat turned pale.
Only at this mont did Qing Chen realize the other party was already in his thirties, a powerhouse of the sa era as Zheng Yuandong.
So, did Boss Zheng know about this? That He Jinqiu had an incurable cancer.
Although there were many conflicts between Kyushu and Kunlun, Qing Chen knew very well that Boss Zheng and He Jinqiu had deep bonds of camaraderie. If Boss Zheng knew about this, he would surely be very saddened.
Qing Chen quickly analyzed in his mind: Cancer! Borrowing the Black Eye of Truth!
When piecing these two key pieces of information together, it was hard not to think of one thing: the road to godhood!
So, the Fifth Princess must have a way to allow cancer patients to coexist with the disease, which is what He Jinqiu wants. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain why the mighty Leader of Kyushu would be willing to serve the Fifth Princess.
But the problem is, the Fifth Princess actually sent He Jinqiu to assist him?
To be precise, the Fifth Princess must have sent him to check and monitor him because, as a ‘Rebel Spy,’ even if he expressed a desire to defect, and even if the Princess Royal intended to recruit him, they couldn’t possibly completely trust him.
Of course, they might also have wanted him to observe He Jinqiu.
After all, considering the ti, He Jinqiu had been in the West Continent for at most two months, so the Fifth Princess couldn’t completely trust him either.
