Chapter 207 Russell's Chastity Crisis
Chapter 207 Russell's Chastity (crossed out) Revealed (√) Crisis
After the middle-aged man in red robe escaped with Li Xie on the card, the low-level card makers present continued to clean up the bodies of the Guiyi Sect members at the scene.
Russell stroked his chin and fell into thought.
"Or is it that Li Xie is not as foolish as he appears to be?"
At this moment, Zeng Bo beside him suddenly said, "Did the vice president find out too?"
Russell raised his head and looked at Zeng Bo: "Do you also think that Li Xie is just a pawn in the open?"
Lu Yan was a little confused when he heard Zeng Bo's words, but after Russell finished speaking, he seemed to realize something: "Indeed, the cards cannot go against the will of the card maker."
"Judging from the boy's behavior, he doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to issue a retreat order."
Normally, the decisions made on the spot during a battle by cards with various strange abilities are more accurate than those made by the card maker.
Of course, this does not include close combat card makers like [Fighting God] Fang Wenlong.
Facing the threat posed by Misaka Mikoto's enhanced version of the Railgun, retreat is indeed the most reasonable scenario.
But if Li Xie was blinded by anger and insisted on fighting Russell to the death, then the cards would not be able to go against his will.
"So either he's acting, or the card isn't his."
Russell then stated his conclusion in a calm tone.
Zeng Bo and Lu Yan nodded silently when they heard this. They thought so too.
Keeping the matter of Guiyi Church deep in his heart, Russell glanced at the director of the Public Security Office beside him with a barely perceptible look.
The other party's attitude has been a little strange since the mission began.
"Speaking of which, I have a piece of gossip here, but I don't know whether I should tell it or not." Zeng Bo showed a rare hesitation on his face.
Lu Yan was stunned: "This is not your style, just tell me if you have news."
"I heard from my men that there has been news in the city recently that the leader of the Guiyi Sect in Donglai is from the Goryeo Li family." Zeng Bo sighed, "The Li Xie just mentioned is surnamed Li."
Hearing Zeng Bo's words, Russell was instantly surprised.
Lu Yan couldn't believe it: "Where did you get this gossip?"
Zeng Bo caught Russell's expression, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "It was reported by my subordinates, probably from the Qiling Society."
At this moment, Lu Yan thought of the identity of the person in front of him, the director of the Public Security Office, and he couldn't help but understand: "It seems possible."
Suddenly, he thought of Li Xie's attire, and his expression gradually became serious: "It's more likely."
Russell had already learned the news when he was gathering the members of the Spirit Begging Society.
It was just that as he had just arrived and didn't seem to have any channels for information in the association, he couldn't reveal it reasonably.
"That's quite clever."
Russell is talking about Zeng Bo.
It was obvious that he only knew about this on the night when the Begging Spirits Society gathered, and it was surprisingly convincing now, combined with everything that had just happened.
In addition, nine out of ten of Zeng Bo's words were true and one was false. Except for the news channel, everything else was true.
However, compared to these, Russell felt a little heavy at this moment: "Have you guessed my identity?"
"Test me?"
He was wondering if Zeng Bo had linked him to the new member of the Qi Ling Society, Sixth Master.
After all, the two identities of Russell and Liu Ye appeared in Donglai basically one after the other.
This can also explain why Zeng Bo, who has always been indifferent, has such a big change in attitude.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
"But the card of the Qiling Society's identity needs to be produced as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will need to use Lu Xi's face and the new card to appear in front of Zeng Bo once."
"[Spider Demon] or [Great Magician]?"
Even if his true identity was revealed to Zeng Bo, it wouldn't matter much, as all members of the Qi Ling Society were basically in the same boat. It was absolutely impossible for a Qi Ling Society member of Zeng Bo's status to expose him.
"Vice President, we've finished cleaning up."
At this time, a silver-level card maker quickly walked up to Russell and spoke softly.
Russell nodded: "Let's pack up, you've worked hard today."
Lü Yan behind him saw this scene with uncertain eyes. Although he mentioned Li Xie's episode, he did not forget the purpose of this trip: "I miscalculated. In the end, he still has some say."
However, since the matter had been settled by now, Lu Yan did not do anything more.
On Russell's first day at work, he encountered the strange incident of the Qiling Society reporting the Guiyi Sect.
Even though it was he who ordered it.
“So in the end, it’s still my job.”
When he got home, he thought helplessly.
However, after seeing the 5,000 points issued by the association, Russell was instantly revived to full health.
That’s right, although he is the vice president, he also has to go on missions to earn points.
Today's mission from Guiyi Sect instantly made his wallet full.
"But it seems that I can only exchange for one purple gold-level material."
In fact, there are some benefits for the vice president, such as 20% discount on materials redeemed with points.
Of course, there is also a monthly points income of up to 10,000 points.
Ten thousand points can be exchanged for a piece of gold-grade material of gold quality.
In addition to these, there will also be low-level card makers who will honor him.
But basically he had no use for the materials sent to him. He would return those if he could find someone to use them, and would leave those he couldn't find in the Shadow Kingdom to gather dust.
"Come to think of it, I remember that the champion of the national team competition has a chance to choose a welfare secret realm of his own choice."
"In this case, the materials are complete."
Russell silently planned to see if there was anything suitable in the welfare secret realm in Donglai.
If not, he would have no choice but to return to Nandu.
Nandu basically has all the information about the welfare secrets of the Ming Dynasty.
"You should have seen his performance today."
The study is still brightly lit.
It’s still Lu Yan and Sima Huai.
But this time Sima Huai was not as indifferent as last time.
The computer in front of him played the brown-haired girl's performance today frame by frame.
After a long while, he sighed heavily: "What a mistake!"
Seeing his reaction, Lu Yan was amused: "Didn't you say last time that he only had gold-quality gold-level cards at most?"
Then he pointed to the computer and said, "Is your gold card this strong?"
Sima Huai was somewhat dissatisfied: "It's not me, it's us."
"Don't say it as if you don't mean it that way."
Lu Yan paused and was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he whispered, "How about just let it go?"
"After all, we haven't actually taken any substantial action yet."
Hearing this, Sima Huai turned his gaze from the screen to the square-faced man in front of the desk: "Have you shrunk your testicles?"
"Don't you think that if Russell wasn't here, the position of vice president would be yours?"
Lu Yan suddenly remembered his original intention of following Sima Huai to target Russell.
But he was still a little hesitant. With the strength Russell showed today, it would be extremely difficult for him to overpower him.
"Even if not for yourself, you should think about your son, right?"
"Besides, Xie Ziying has already made all the arrangements. She won't listen to you."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, but finally said softly, "I understand. The plan will proceed."
Sima Huai sneered in his heart, and he had only one comment to make about the middle-aged man in front of him.
When doing great things, one cherishes his body, but when seeing small gains, one forgets his life. Not knowing what Sima Huai was thinking, Lü Yan seemed to want to change the subject and talked about another thing: "Speaking of which, the number of Guiyi Sect in the city seems to be a little off."
"Do you know how many limb-jointing monsters we captured today in this base alone?"
"Thirty-eight."
However, Sima Huai just waved his hand and said, "Thirty-eight is fine, three hundred and eighty is fine."
"Just don't cause any trouble before I leave."
His term of office was about to end, and he had originally been expected to be promoted to be a director in a large coastal city, but now some people had offered him a price he could not resist.
As long as he can successfully get hold of something that might be used against Russell, no matter how small it is, he can be transferred to work in Nandu or Beidu.
It might be possible that one day he could become one of the high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
He was fed up with jobs in associations like these in coastal areas.
It's tiring and unprofitable.
With no hope of breaking through, he had long lost the passion in his heart.
Whoever wants to defend this coastal defense line can do so. He left first.
But Sima Huai would never tell these words to Lu Yan.
Looking at the president of the Donglaika Master Association in front of him, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But in the end he said nothing and left the other person's house quietly.
At the same time, the noise caused by Misaka Mikoto's [Thunder Giant] was quite big.
Although there are few people living nearby, its size cannot be ignored.
Therefore, some curious people recorded the whole process and posted it on a local forum in Donglai.
Although the news that Russell was coming to Donglai to serve as vice president had spread in a small circle, most people were not aware of this news.
Compared with the replacement of the vice president, the daily necessities of life are more important.
However, after what happened today, many people started discussing which high-level card maker created this card.
After all, most Donglai locals have only seen cards of this strength in video materials.
"What happened? Why is there such a big commotion?"
"My second uncle's grandson's cousin next door works for the Card Makers Association. It is said that the Card Makers Association received a report today that there is an illegal organization in the city. This should be the work of a high-level card maker in the association."
"That's true. The one who did it was the new Vice President Russell. That's all I can say, Anonymous."
"? The Russell from the national competition?"
"Is he at the gold level?"
"Should I go to the association's headquarters to pray? My brat's grades are a little less than ideal, I hope he can bring back some good luck."
"Young Abin's grades aren't very good, are they?"
"Hey, when he was 20, he was the vice president of the Card Designers Association, and when I was 20, I was screwing screws in a factory. The gap between people is even bigger than that between people and dogs."
"Talent is something you can't force, but with a genius like this, Donglai should be safer in the future, right?"
"One man, one city, I am Luo Weida!"
Nothing major happened on the fourth day that Russell arrived in Donglai.
With Fubuki's help in handling official business, he only needed to sit there and drink tea and read the newspaper.
"Well, this is also an experience of retirement life that I never had in my previous life."
Russell saw the comments online, but he didn't take them seriously.
fifth day.
“Why do people go to work?”
"I am bored"
sixth day.
"Today I heard that the Guiyi Sect targeted a base of the Qiling Society."
".You learn quickly enough."
"Yes, Zeng Bo led people there. I heard that the Qiling Society had almost run away by the time they arrived."
The seventh day.
"Russell, Russell, how can you be so depraved? You can't go on like this. Have you forgotten your goal? Set a small goal first and handle a day's work."
".My head hurts, let Fubuki do it."
Looking at the tall, black-haired lady working hard, Russell took a sip of tea.
In fact, he did not do nothing. He worked by blowing snow during the day and at night.
Well, I can only say that people are good at different things.
Finally, after five days of hard work, Russell had his first weekend off.
In order to prevent emergencies, general associations only allow one of the president and vice president to rest at the same time.
Russell was not idle these days. He looked up the information about the secret realm controlled by Donglai.
All I can say is that small cities are indeed small cities, and there are only a few gold-level welfare secrets.
There was no material in it that Russell needed.
"I can only go back to Nandu."
Since it concerns his identity and life safety, he naturally won't feel it's hard.
"It's a good time to go back and see Senior Sister."
Speaking of walnuts, Russell couldn't help but think of the name "Ziying".
The other party had come to see him these days, but was stopped by the doorman.
What a joke! You can't meet the vice president of the East Leica Association just because you want to.
What's more, the guard called to confirm, and got only three cold words from Russell: "I don't know him."
As for going directly to Russell's residence to find him
Then he wouldn't mind letting this "Ziying" experience the impermanence of life.
After all, Russell's residence is a bit remote. What would happen if he ran into the Qi Ling on his way back? It is normal for a single young girl to be arrested, imprisoned, interrogated and tortured by the Qi Ling Society when she returns home alone late at night, right?
"Do they think I'd be concerned because of her looks?"
What a joke! Even though the girl cards I, Russell, make are all super beauties, am I such a superficial person?
Well I am.
Russell is indeed a face lover, he admitted it.
"But Senior Sister and Nanxi are not dead either?"
"I really like pursuing them both."
Russell was confused for a moment.
"Unless there is something wrong with Ziying."
".It won't be a bad woman like Makima."
Although he doesn't mind having a taste of a bad woman, it's still Da-Mei who wants to dominate him.
Just as Russell was daydreaming, it was time to get off work.
He immediately put away the blowing snow and informed Sima Huai in the next room that he was going back to Nandu.
Of course the reason given was to visit Walnut.
Sima Huai also expressed his understanding.
In this way, Russell rushed back to Nandu overnight.
After visiting the lonely queen Hu Tao, he went to the Nandu Card Master Association to find the welfare secret realm he needed.
By entering the filtering criteria, Russell quickly found the right secret place.
【Eating each other in the wilderness】.
Main output material: Gold level [Greedy Beast].
The location is Russell’s hometown, Shanghai.
