It wasn't my intention to cause trouble; the system forced my hand!
Chen Shu looked helpless, but a suppressed smile played on his lips.
He flipped his right hand, and a vial of potion inexplicably appeared. It contained no liquid, but a sealed yellow flame.
This was the Burning Potion he had obtained earlier.
Clearly, this wasn't meant to boost his strength, but was another special type of potion.
If it had been an explosive potion, he wouldn't have dared to use it in the center of Nan Cang City.
But the Burning Potion was different.
Some time had passed since the second round of matches ended, enough time for him to burn down a building.
Chen Shu left the hotel and headed towards the office building emitting a red glow.
After inquiring, he learned that the entire building belonged to the Nan Cang Ding Sheng Group.
As one of the top companies in Nan Cang Province,
Who would have thought it was a base for a criminal organization?
The office building was still brightly lit, indicating that someone was working overtime.
He really wanted to set it ablaze!
Chen Shu shook his head, a look of excitement on his face. However, without evidence, he would likely end up behind bars.
He couldn't afford to be imprisoned so soon!
Chen Shu's eyes darted around as he made a phone call.
"Hello, Old Xie, brother's in trouble! Urgent!
"One million!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched as he said, "Who taught you to talk like that? Talking about money hurts our feelings!"
But talking about feelings hurts money! A man's gotta eat!
"Alright, hurry up and take a car to Nan Cang City. I need to use your bug-butterfly."
"I'm busy studying, no time. I'll mail it to you directly. Remember to check for delivery."
"???"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. "Your thought process is insane! Mailing it?"
A day later, Chen Shu indeed received the bug-butterfly.
For several consecutive days, Chen Shu observed the situation, like a patient hunter.
"Something's definitely not right."
Chen Shu went to a coffee shop outside the building, holding a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on the office building.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Hello? Xiao Yu?"
"Chen Shu, where are you? Today is the day for drawing opponents!"
"Opponents for what?"
In the Dou Ling Arena, Xu Xiao Yu's expression stiffened. She took a deep breath and said,
"The second round of matches is over. What have you been doing?"
This guy actually forgot about the competition. What could be more important than the competition?
"I was busy setting fires... uh, investigating!"
Chen Shu coughed, almost spilling the beans.
"Just draw them for me, I won't be attending."
"Alright."
"Oh, right, remember to sacrifice the lifespan of the other contestants. Let's be generous this time, thirty years!"
Xu Xiao Yu fell silent. So you really don't consider the other contestants as people?
Chen Shu had been observing for several days, constantly looking for an opportunity.
As for the bug-butterfly, it had been carrying out the tasks Chen Shu assigned.
Another Sunday, Xu Xiao Yu called again.
"Chen Pi, where are you? I haven't seen you during the day recently. It's our turn to compete this morning!"
"Who's the opponent?"
"The team from Nan Cang Fourth High School! They only have one S-class contracted spirit."
"Then it's fine. Tell the organizers to wait, I'll set a building ablaze!"
"What building? Hello, hello..."
"Dududu~~"
Xu Xiao Yu and Xia Bing exchanged glances, a sense of unease growing in their hearts.
Could this guy be causing trouble again?
Before leaving, Shen Wushuang had asked them to keep an eye on Chen Shu.
Now, it seemed they couldn't even find him.
"Don't worry, as the most popular contestant this year, the organizers will surely accommodate."
Chen Shu was the guaranteed ticket sales; most people came for the slime. Besides, the competition rules allowed for temporary postponements.
He had arrived at the coffee shop early, watching the entrance of the office building.
In his hand was a stack of photos. The first photo showed a man working on a computer.
The remaining photos were of the computer screen, displaying the organization's mission: to assassinate a genius from Modu University.
Naturally, Chen Shu didn't take the photos himself; they were from Xie Su Nan's bug-butterfly!
With these photos, he could at least prove that the man was part of a criminal organization.
It was reasonable for him to burn down the base of a criminal organization, wasn't it?
Just then, Chen Shu's gaze shifted.
He saw the man from the photo, carrying a briefcase and wearing a black mask, walking onto the street outside the office building.
"So tired, stayed up all night again."
Lu Pingfan yawned, but thinking about the mission he completed last night, he became excited.
A bounty of fifty million, he should get at least five hundred thousand, right?
Suddenly, he looked down and saw a wallet.
"Hm? Found money right after leaving home?"
Lu Pingfan smiled and picked up the wallet, thinking it was good luck.
Just then, a voice called out.
"Bro, I lost my wallet! Did you find it?"
Chen Shu walked over leisurely, hands behind his back.
Lu Pingfan cursed his bad luck, finding the owner just as he picked it up.
Reluctantly, he said, "How can you prove it's your wallet?"
"My ID is inside. You can check for yourself."
Lu Pingfan lowered his head and opened the wallet. Inside, there was nothing but a slip of paper.
He was momentarily stunned and took out the paper. On it were written a few large characters:
"Hey, your urea bag fell off!"
"???"
Lu Pingfan had no reaction. Instantly, darkness seemed to descend, and he instinctively shouted:
"What the hell! Why is it suddenly dark?"
Bang!
Chen Shu knocked him out with a single punch, his movements as clean and decisive as ever.
Although he hadn't acted in a long time, his heroic demeanor remained!
Lu Pingfan, being an ordinary person, couldn't resist a divine punch!
"Robbery!"
At this moment, a man appeared on the street, seeing the scene before him.
"What the heck, a daylight robbery this early in the morning? Isn't this the city center of Nan Cang City?"
"Is there no law?!"
Chen Shu slightly turned his head, his fierce gaze sweeping over, a wicked smile on his lips.
He looked like the ultimate villain!
"Brother, I was wrong, I didn't see anything!"
With that, the man fled.
Chen Shu curled his lips, surprised that the other party was scared away by his handsomeness.
He dragged Lu Pingfan into a nearby public restroom.
Less than ten minutes later, a man in his underwear lay unconscious in a restroom stall.
Chen Shu held a USB drive, a smile on his lips. Another piece of evidence.
Now he had everything he needed.
Even if he was caught by the Imperial Dragon Guard, he could prove that the man was part of a criminal organization.
Ten minutes later, Chen Shu, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, looking like an elite professional, emerged from the public restroom.
"I've arrived! Dark Night Organization!"
Chen Shu murmured, walking directly towards the office building.
Although he had the evidence, he wanted to see the inside of the organization. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to make some money.
If he failed, he could always just set the place on fire and run.
But as he reached the entrance, the security guard stopped him.
"Halt!"
