Chapter 634

Looking at the old man who had just shaken off the [Remembrance Headscarf], breathing heavily, a petite middle-aged woman with a serious expression summarized: “Although we three were assigned to provide support, you know the situation at the Virgo Subdivision. The danger of being allies with them is no less than being their enemies.”

“Whether it’s the Executioners who kill indiscriminately based on the degree of sin or the Dice King who only cares about the success of the mission and cannot control what happens during the process, both can harm us.”

“And now, there’s another person we need to be extra cautious about – the Food God. According to the Cleaners from our Lynx Subdivision who participated in the promotion evaluation, he’s even more dangerous than the Executioner and the Dice King!”

Indeed…

After hearing the summary from the middle-aged woman, the other two division directors selected to support the Virgo Subdivision couldn’t help but exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

The Executioner’s abilities don’t differentiate between friend or foe, so I might as well stay far away. The Dice King only cares about the results, not the process, but at least the result is good. But this Food God…

We can only pray that we don’t get targeted by the Execution King Assembly.

According to what we saw in the [Remembrance Headscarf], it seems that once the situation goes wrong or we’re at a disadvantage, this Food God, who dared to kill the True God of Food, will go berserk and literally start craving his teammates’ bodies.

“Thank you for the warning.”

With gratitude, the little old man who had just shaken off the [Remembrance Headscarf] said somewhat fearfully:

“I’ve been a Cleaner for nearly eighty years and have seen quite a few madmen, but someone crazy to this extent… it’s truly the first time I’ve seen such madness…”

“Yes, his mental state is terrifying.”

Another division director couldn’t help but nod upon hearing this and chimed in:

“Compared to those madmen who wear their craziness on their faces, this Ri… this [Food God] is frighteningly normal, even in the Dream Realm, he appears as a regular human.”

“This is outrageous. Despite wielding such terrifying power, his self-cognition hasn’t shifted an inch, and what’s even scarier is that he looks rational and clear-headed, and he’s even polite.”

“Even when preparing to eat someone, he’ll apologize first… sss… don’t talk about it, don’t talk about it! Just thinking about how he smiled at me in that memory makes me feel… feel…”

A bit chilled down the spine, right? After completing that thought for him, the little old man couldn’t help but sigh, lamenting his own bad luck for having to carry out a mission with such a psycho.

Seeing the dispirited expressions of the two, the middle-aged woman from the Lynx Subdivision had no choice but to offer some comfort: “Actually, the situation isn’t that extreme. According to the Cleaners from our subdivision, although the Food God is insane, his strength is genuinely powerful. If the Execution King Assembly really targets the Virgo Subdivision, having him around might actually make things safer.”

“As for when he goes berserk… after the Virgo Subdivision Director is transferred to the General Bureau, the highest-ranking ones among us will be these three division directors, and he has to follow our commands.”

“As long as we prepare in advance and arrange for him to be with the people from the Virgo Subdivision, even if he goes crazy and starts eating people, it won’t be us he eats immediately.”

“Right, right, right, this idea is great!”

…

Uh… Senior Emma is correct, I do seem to be smiling more than before…

Unaware that the three division directors providing support were already plotting against him through rumors, Leon was currently standing in front of his dressing mirror at home, practicing one kind smile after another.

I am smiling more, and I look handsomer too.

Looking at himself in the mirror, after replenishing his nutrition, he was no longer frail, his complexion was healthy, and he could now be described as handsome. Leon couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction, then turned around and consoled Anna, who was sitting by the table, her face flushed with anger:

“That’s all about homework, it’s not worth getting this angry. Take your time.”

While tutoring the younger siblings in their homework, Anna couldn’t help but grit her teeth and angrily retorted: “Brother! You don’t understand the situation! They’re not incapable! They just refuse to write properly! They must… they must… Ah!”

“…”

Although unsure of what exactly they must do, it seems that tutoring homework is an inevitable hurdle in every parent’s life.

“Um… how about taking a break?”

After looking at his sister, who was fuming, and the two little ones cowering nearby, Leon hesitated slightly before tentatively suggesting: “Since I’m free now, and you’ve worked hard all day, why don’t… I take over today?”

Take over?

Upon hearing Leon’s suggestion, which couldn’t be called bold but rather reckless, Anna couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then, driven by a small amount of “malicious intent,” she stood up and gave up her position.

Leon, who had just spent several minutes smiling at the mirror and felt unusually kind, picked up Melanie’s workbook with his newly practiced smile.

The first thing he saw was a reading comprehension excerpted from a religious story.

Question: Assyria, with the help of the devil, obtained unimaginable wealth but lost his soul in the process. What does this tell us? Answer: Always read the fine print when signing contracts.

No mistakes, keep reading!

Question: Although the merchant earned unimaginable money and became the richest person in Monet City, why didn’t he feel happiness?

Answer: Only knows how to earn, doesn’t know how to spend.

Question: The king did not find happiness through power, the merchant did not find happiness through wealth, but why did the penniless little beggar laugh while looking at the sunflowers blooming by the roadside?

Answer: He probably hallucinated from hunger, or it’s because sunflower seeds are edible.

“…”

Alright, let’s switch books.

Leon’s smile remained unchanged as he handed Melanie’s workbook back and sat next to William, picking up his workbook.

Compared to Melanie’s workbook, William’s was much more advanced.

The same religious story reading comprehension, the same three questions, Melanie answered each question with only a few words, and to make the answer space appear fuller, each word was written as large as a thumbnail.

William’s answers, however, were densely packed with tiny handwriting smaller than rice grains, and the content…

William’s first answer mainly discussed the military strategy of “not collaborating with people beyond your control.” The second question talked about using money to bribe votes, penetrate the military-political system of Monet City, and successfully hijack a position.

As for the third question, he wrote a fairly reliable action plan for the little beggar who was laughing stupidly at the sunflowers, teaching him how to start with just a bowl and try to achieve the goal of owning a country…

Silently closing William’s workbook, Leon looked at his younger brother, who seemed like a mischievous kid but was full of dragon-slaying thoughts, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

How to say it… Being an older brother does seem to be somewhat hindering your personal development…
