Just a glance at the expressions of the two Level 2 Cleaners, and the Scorpion Bureau Director already understood: these two subordinates of his probably hadn’t taken his instructions to heart. He couldn’t help but want to recount someone’s outrageous resume, warning them to be careful, oh so careful.
But after some deliberation, the Scorpion Bureau Director ultimately shut his mouth.
There was no other reason—there really wasn’t much he could say.
According to the Clearing Bureau’s confidentiality regulations, the classification levels for anomalous item information, target intelligence, and task records were divided into five tiers from top to bottom.
Cleaning personnel ranked as Level Three, Two, or One had access to retrieve intelligence classified under Tiers One, Two, and Three respectively. The Subdivision Directors of the Yellow Path divisions and non-Yellow Path divisions could access Tier Four intelligence, while the Twelve Directors and Bureau Directors could access Tier Five intelligence.
The two Level 2 Cleaners chosen by him to keep an eye on Leon, making sure he didn’t cause trouble, only had clearance for Tier Two intelligence.
However, reviewing Leon’s task records over the past few months, excluding a few scattered Tier One records, the lowest confidentiality level among the rest were related to the extermination of Holy Spirits sent by the Scale Gold Religion. Such files already belonged to Tier Three confidentiality.
The remaining ones involved uncovering the Aquarius Director’s schemes, handling the Goddess of Wealth, the Soulfall Black Abyss, the Nightmare King, consuming the Death Hound of the Watchdogs alive, and discovering a mysterious organization that targeted royal families across nations—all tasks involving True Gods. These files were all classified as Tier Four or higher, and none of these would even count toward operational counts.
So in his eyes, who had access to the full archives, Leon was someone who joined the Clearing Bureau three months ago, started wildly accepting high-risk missions, and whose methods of dealing with situations were extremely extreme, always causing chaos every time.
But for those without sufficient clearance, Leon appeared as someone with an empty record, having only accepted a few ordinary tasks in the three months since joining the Clearing Bureau. The only slightly unusual thing about him was that there were twice “Tier Three” records that couldn’t be viewed.
For such a newcomer who seemed to have stumbled upon high-difficulty missions twice purely by “dogshit luck,” it would be downright eerie if these two veteran Level 2 Cleaners with nearly a hundred mission records each actually felt intimidated…
“Let me just tell you this.”
Considering that even if these two kept their eyes glued on Leon, they might not be able to stop him from going wild, and if they became careless, there would definitely be trouble. After hesitating for a bit, the Scorpion Bureau Director decided to violate the General Bureau’s confidentiality rules and gave them a roundabout reminder:
“That Leon’s total number of missions isn’t the five times written in his file—it’s actually eleven. This guy is not simple.”
Upon hearing the Scorpion Bureau Director’s words, the two cleaners slightly startled, then exchanged confused glances.
So what if he has eleven missions? Combined, our total number of missions exceeds one hundred eighty times, and we’ve even participated in Tier Three missions five or six times. Just eleven missions…
Wait… If he has eleven missions but only five are recorded, that means…
“The situation is exactly as you’re thinking.”
Seeing the two cleaners suddenly widen their eyes in shock and stare at him with astonished faces, the Scorpion Bureau Director helplessly said, “I can’t go into specifics, but during my sudden departure the other time, I actually went to support in the Virgo Subdivision’s jurisdiction. And during that joint operation, he was the one who received me and worked alongside me… um… let’s just say we fought side by side.”
“…”
Working alongside their own Bureau Director…
And despite executing eleven missions, only five were recorded…
That meant that within three months of joining the Clearing Bureau, Leon had already participated in six “True God-level” missions—and survived all of them?
What the hell… Are rookies these days already this monstrous?
“In short, you absolutely need to keep an eye on him.”
Not… Could it really be this absurd? After listening to the Scorpion Bureau Director’s repeated warnings, a chill ran down the spines of the two Level 2 Cleaners.
It’s common knowledge that the degree of madness among cleaners is generally proportional to personal strength, and the faster the strength increases, the easier it is to lose control and become crazy.
And that rookie… That Big Shot had only been a cleaner for three months but had already participated in six True God-level missions. With his Leon Value skyrocketing, his degree of madness must be astonishingly high, leaving very little human decency left.
Moreover, his file clearly stated that he had an extremely high compatibility with demon-type anomalous items. It was estimated that he wasn’t just a bad person; it was questionable whether he could even be considered human! “Director…”
The middle-aged cleaner swallowed a lump in his throat and asked somewhat uneasily, “How is that Leon… sir’s personality? Is he still approachable? If we block him, will he attack us?”
“Look how scared you are.”
Before the Scorpion Bureau Director could respond, the old cleaner with the fishing rod took a deep breath, suppressing his inner unease, and with the intention of livening up the atmosphere, joked,
“No matter how extreme he is, he’s still a cleaner. If he attacks, so be it—he’ll probably just beat us up. It’s not like he’ll eat us alive, right, Director?”
“…”

After hearing the old cleaner’s joke and connecting it with Leon’s reputation as a “Food God Demon,” the Scorpion Bureau Director couldn’t help but seriously consider the possibility along this line of thought.
He probably wouldn’t eat people, but given his audacity to bite a True God when provoked, if truly angered, who knows what he might do…
???
Director? Not… Say something, Director! Your silence is making my heart race!
Seeing the Scorpion Bureau Director’s deafening silence in response to his inquiry, the old cleaner’s smile immediately froze.
My question about whether he would eat us was just a joke. Why haven’t you responded yet? At least rebut me!
“Oh, don’t worry about that.”
Seeing the instantly pale faces of the two Level 2 Cleaners, the Scorpion Bureau Director, snapping back to reality, quickly reassured them,
“Based on my understanding of him, he probably won’t do that.”
“…”
Not… What does “probably” mean? Shouldn’t the answer to this kind of question be a definite “no”?
Director, your use of “probably” here… Does that mean that if Leon gets angry, he really might eat us?!
