Chapter 202

As the scarred muscular man walked in and started spouting nonsense before even getting settled, the middle-aged man could not help but feel a twinge of pain at his temples.

After staying up all night, he had finally managed to regain some confidence, only for it to be halved by a “sweet potato” sleeping at the door. Now this scarred muscular man was openly supporting this lump of a “sweet potato” to become the new leader right in front of him, causing the middle-aged man’s remaining confidence to crumble further.

Seriously… everything was going according to plan, so why has it suddenly gone so wrong?…

“Ho ho, Tiger… Senior, you’re joking…”

While the middle-aged man massaged his temples in frustration, Leon, who was being harassed by the scarred muscular man, also began to feel uncomfortable, his expression stiffening.

At least we’re troublemakers that keep the capital city restless; can’t you guys do your job properly? Why are you trying to force me into power like some sort of “Yellow Robe Bestowal”? If I really go undercover and end up as the boss, how will the bureau director see me? How will Isa, who runs around with secret police every day catching troublemakers, see me? And what about the princess, who claims to be my fiancée and has been assassinated several times by these troublemakers?

Stop messing around already! This job is really not suitable for me!

“Ho ho, I don’t tell jokes.”

The scarred muscular man took another deep breath, almost greedily sniffing the scent on “Xiaoba Jin,” then grinned widely: “Amazing! This smell is truly amazing!”

“Just sitting next to you makes me feel like my head is being held by a tiger… Xiaoba Lu, tell me honestly, do you have the ability to kill me instantly?”

“Uh… my name is Xiaoba Jin…”

“That’s not important!”

Patting Leon on the shoulder, the scarred muscular man said eagerly: “My nose tells me you’re a true strong person! Your methods and heart are both powerful enough, and despite smiling at me now, you actually look down on me from the bottom of your heart, and you look down on Nathan too! Haha! You smell exactly like Nathan did back in the day! Unfortunately, he smells bad now, having lost the aroma you possess, turning into a pile of smelly dog poop! Xiaoba Jin, you must maintain this and not become stinky like him!”

“Uh…”

I really look down on what you troublemakers are doing, and especially the leader commanding you to mess things up, but can such feelings really be smelled?

After pondering the words of the scarred muscular man and realizing they weren’t entirely nonsensical, Leon became wary.

Could this madman’s ability be something like animal instinct? However, just as Leon was guessing about the scarred muscular man’s abilities and preparing to test them, he felt the hairs on his back stand up, followed by a sharp wind passing by his right ear.

“Pop!”

Amidst the sound of air being pushed aside, the scarred muscular man laughing towards Leon leaned back slightly, dodging something aimed at his mouth. That strange object whizzed past and embedded itself into the wall with a “puh,” cracking off a large piece of plaster.

Is this… a slingshot lead pellet? Recognizing the thing stuck in the wall, Leon recalled a similar pellet shot from three kilometers away that still shattered his shoulder blade.

“Tiger!”

Bending over and stepping out from a rainbow-painted little door, the bald woman holding the slingshot angrily said:

“If I hear you say anything bad about Master Nathan again, the next pellet will definitely aim for your temple!”

“Ho ho, do as you please.”

“You!”

“Alright, sit down first!”

Raising a hand to calm everyone down, just as he was about to introduce someone, he saw five people, three men and two women, walk in through the continuously distorting door behind “Xiaoba Jin.”

Looking at the other members who walked in, Leon couldn’t help but think a bit, discovering that the distribution of these anomaly item holders among the troublemakers was quite even.

…

The tall scar-faced muscular man director of the Secret Investigation Bureau, the short man from Leon Manor who steals bodies, the middle-aged man looking like a wealthy merchant, and the slim young man – they covered all heights and builds.

Next, the beast-like scarred muscular man, the bald woman playing with a slingshot, the old granny with orange skin and white hair, and the little girl full of drowsiness – now they had all genders and ages represented.

So is there one person left who hasn’t arrived? But strangely, just as Leon was watching the door, ready to see who the twelfth troublemaker would be, he heard the middle-aged man at the main seat clap his hands and announce:

“Everyone, since everyone’s here, let’s start.”

Everyone’s here? After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Leon couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Although from a character perspective, he wanted to know the appearance of this last anomaly item holder to facilitate subsequent arrests by the bureau.

But due to insufficient intelligence, fearing that asking “why is one missing” would result in “how come you don’t know XXX,” thus prematurely exposing his identity, Leon obediently turned around and looked up at the middle-aged man at the main seat. However…

“Xiaoba Jin, can you answer me one question?”

Looking at Leon who had been staring at the door until he said “everyone’s here,” the middle-aged man’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, asking calmly: “You seem to think… someone else will come in?”

“…”

Shit! I just turned around a bit late, and I’m already being suspected? Do you have paranoia or what?! “No.”

After cursing the overly cautious troublemaker leader mentally, Leon shook his head and said normally: “I’m just curious about your ability, leader. Just opening and closing a door allows someone to travel such a long distance directly, which seems incredibly mysterious no matter how many times I see it.”

“I see.”

After hearing Xiaoba Jin’s response, the middle-aged man nodded indifferently, then stared intently at him and continued asking:

“I thought you wanted to meet her… By the way, it’s been so long since she attended the meeting, I’ve almost forgotten her name. Can you remind me?”

“…”

This… starting to suspect me? Upon hearing this question equivalent to saying “I suspect you’re fake,” Leon’s heart skipped a beat.

“Leader, surely you’re not joking with me?”

Feeling the gradually changing gazes of the troublemakers in the room, Leon frowned slightly, then while desperately thinking of countermeasures, tried to buy time by rambling:

“Yesterday, Uncle Owen told me you seemed hostile towards me, and I thought he was just drunk. But now it seems you really…”

“Stop, we can discuss that later.”

Interrupting Xiaoba Jin’s rambling, the middle-aged man said clearly: “Right now, I just want to know, what is her name?”

“…”

How the hell should I know what that person is called? Feeling the increasingly unfriendly gazes directed at him, Leon sighed involuntarily, preparing to give an “I don’t know” answer and enjoy the binding package from the troublemakers, when he suddenly remembered what the middle-aged man had said earlier.

‘I thought you wanted to meet her…’

So this last anomaly item holder is someone I… or Xiaoba Jin knows? Considering Xiaoba Jin’s reclusive personality, their social circle might not even fill a single hand, so this person’s identity is likely locked within Fat Uncle’s family.

And last night, Fat Uncle knew staying behind might be dangerous, yet said they couldn’t leave, even though he and Aunt Fenney could leave, but…

“Nicole.”

With the attitude that the answer sheet absolutely cannot be left blank, Leon looked up to meet the middle-aged man’s scrutinizing gaze and confidently made up an answer: “Her name is Nicole.”
