As a Fourth-Order Evil God, the Whale Shark was a bit timid, but still had an impressive appearance.
He stood two ters tall with a head of long blue hair. When he was at the bottom of the lake, his hair floated around gracefully like seaweed. Once on shore, due to gravity, the Whale Shark's hair could do nothing but plaster itself to his face and head.
He didn't seem to mind, casually swept his ssy hair back with his hand, his slender and sharp eyes gleaming with mirth as he walked onto the shore.
Upon reaching the shore, as if sensing sothing, he glanced around quickly.
After detecting nothing unusual, he turned his head back in confusion and, with water droplets trickling down, headed off into the distance.
Watching the scene, Qiu Tu slowly retracted his "Infinite Vision," then looked towards Larilo beside him and inquired, "What do you think? Should we make a move?"
"Take him out, and his 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' is yours."
"All I want is his 'Boundless Divine Crystal'."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo's eyes nearly rolled back in her head.
She looked at Qiu Tu as if he was a complete idiot and said, "Qiu Tu, be a human, will you?"
"I kindly tipped you off, and not only are you ungrateful, but you even want to trick ."
"How many tis have you tricked with the 'Domain Master' thing?"
"And now you want to work for you for free?"
At that, Larilo's head shook like a drum, "I'm not falling for that."
She waved her hand at Qiu Tu without any fondness, "You better figure out how to deal with the Whale Shark."
"I'll head back to the Eastern City District to continue nurturing my body. Staying away from you all, to avoid getting splattered with your blood."
"Don't worry, if you die, I'll co back to collect your corpse."
After saying that, Larilo turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing Larilo run off so quickly, Qiu Tu smiled and shook his head.
Looking at his current credibility, he couldn't even deceive a single person.
But no matter, he hadn't intended for Larilo to help in the first place. After all... to avoid Cuiying Dragon Yiyi being led astray by Larilo, resulting in a situation spiraling out of control, Qiu Tu always kept them apart, preventing the two from eting.
Thus, if Larilo made a move, Yiyi couldn't. If Yiyi made a move, Larilo couldn't be present.
Therefore, Qiu Tu had deliberately used such a clumsy ruse to drive Larilo away...
Thinking so, Qiu Tu glanced at the blazing sun in the sky and then spoke to the air beside him, "Tell 'Team Captain' to keep track of the Whale Shark."
"We strike tonight."
"Yes." As Qiu Tu spoke, a silhouette replied in an aged voice and vanished on the spot with a slight twist in space.
Having set the plan to hunt the Whale Shark, Qiu Tu left the 'Boundless Heart Sea' to rest and gather strength.
Turning the world around, returning to reality.
Right after Qiu Tu took a bath, his Communicator started to ring.
Lying on the bed, he picked up the Communicator to see that it was Bai Ru calling.
'Bai Ru? Why is she looking for so late?'
With that thought, Qiu Tu answered the call.
"Director Qiu?" As soon as the communication connected, a gentle voice ca through.
Qiu Tu had always been quite interested in Bai Ru, the Widow. His tone was not as harsh as when talking with others, but rather a faint "mm" followed by asking, "What's the matter, Deputy Director Bai?"
Recently, perhaps to give Qiu Tu face, or maybe because Tao Yaoyao often ntioned Bai Ru to Jiang Zhenpeng, the regular adjustnts at the City Hall promoted Bai Ru up a level, making her the Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
And hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Ru spoke quietly, "It's not looking for you, Director Qiu, it's Secretary Tao."
"Secretary Tao?" Hearing Bai Ru's words, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered slightly.
Since the last dinner with Commissioner Jiang, letting Tao Yaoyao sit beside Qiu Tu, serving him food and tea, and even joking that the two were a perfect match in talent and beauty, Tao Yaoyao's communications with Qiu Tu beca all the more frequent.
However, she usually contacted Qiu Tu using her own Communicator. Contacting Qiu Tu through Bai Ru this way clearly indicated the call was extraordinary.
'Could it be... related to Commissioner Jiang?'
With this thought, Qiu Tu put away his smile, then "mm" a response, asking Bai Ru to pass the phone to Tao Yaoyao.
After Tao Yaoyao took the phone, she took a couple of deep breaths before speaking, "Qiu Tu... can you trust ?"
Hearing this unexpectedly strange remark, Qiu Tu chuckled and lied through his teeth, "Of course."
It won't kill to trust her for a mont, so why not?
Emboldened by his answer, Tao Yaoyao spoke as if making up her mind, "Here's the thing, Qiu Tu, can I transfer to work with you?"
"I really can't stand my uncle anymore. I feel like he has gone mad with power."
Listening to Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu's expression was unfazed; he patiently asked, "Yao Yao, don't panic. Take it slow."
Tao Yaoyao replied with a "mm," then spoke, "Here's the thing. Tonight, your Investigation Bureau acted, capturing a bunch of spies from the City Hall and the military. And you caught so with connections to the Anti-governnt Ard Forces and the Extremist Organization, right?"
Qiu Tu responded with a "mm."
Tao Yaoyao continued, "It's the end of the year now, a sensitive ti. With so many people arrested, the City Hall is thrown into a panic."
"Moreover, so big rchants have been caught, affecting the flow of resources."
"So, Commissioner Jiang is furious."
