Once, I wanted to be a good person

The Flower God, dressed in a uniform with black stockings, looked dumbfounded at the spiritual link that was hung up again, her face a picture of disbelief,

"You motherfucker asked for half an hour, and as soon as you're done, you cut off the communication, not giving this lady a chance to ask questions?"

"Does this mean I just got fucking exploited for free?"

"Ah ah ah! You motherf@&#&!"

.....

After getting the information on Dahei Garo from the Flower God, Fang Ze did not delay any further but proceeded to interrogate Commissioner Wang.

As Fang Ze expected, Commissioner Wang wasn't the least bit worried about Fang Ze using mind category abilities, shielded by the power of Dahei Garo, so his inner "confessions" were almost as numerous as his son's.

This also made it very easy for Fang Ze to figure out how Commissioner Wang got hold of the black Buddha head.

According to Commissioner Wang's explanation, back when he was competing for the municipal councilor position, he had actually lost hope of winning.

So he didn't bother to compete and instead dedicated himself to his job.

However, during his research trip to Miaohua City, he inadvertently met an old man dressed in Miaohua Tribe's garments.

The old man told him he was predestined with the Miaohua Tribe, their lucky star, and wanted to gift him a treasure that would surely make him soar to great heights.

At first, he thought the other party was a fraud.

But who knew, after handing over the Buddha head, the old man did nothing more and just walked away.

Coming across such an odd Buddha head, Commissioner Wang was naturally a bit scared and worried.

But for some reason, he had no desire to throw it away.

So, he just took the Buddha head back to the hotel where he stayed.

That same night, he dreamed of Dahei Garo, just like his son did.

Dahei Garo promised him everything in the dream as well.

Only he was braver than his son and directly asked if he could become a municipal councilor.

Dahei Garo only gave a faint smile at that time and said it would be a piece of cake.

With mixed feelings of doubt and belief, he took the Buddha head home, then worshipped and made offerings to it.

What followed was the story of Commissioner Wang's gradual corruption under the influence of the Buddha head.

Truth be told, the value of the investigation's findings wasn't high; other than revealing that the Buddha head originated from Miaohua City, there wasn't much valuable content.

Dahei Garo's "temptation" of Commissioner Wang and his son seemed more like a throwaway move.

If it hadn't been for his appraisal revealing the ins and outs of the whole case and the partial information on Dahei Garo obtained from the Flower God, his gains tonight would have been quite mediocre, nowhere near enough to face the inquisition that would come tomorrow.

Hence, after the interrogation was over, Fang Ze cut off the link with Commissioner Wang.

And after reviewing what Commissioner Wang had brought him, Fang Ze felt even more disappointed—it was just a very ordinary Extraordinary Artifact, the "Lonely Mask."

"Lonely Mask."

"Wearing this mask emits an aura of 'keep away,' making people hesitant to approach."

Although it was a mind category tool, its effect was minor, and it wasn't very useful.

It was not as good as the Clockwork Assassin he got from investigating Mr. Wang yesterday,

"Clockwork Assassin."

"Insert the clockwork key into a living creature, turn it 10 times, and the creature will become a bloodthirsty killer, slaughtering everything in sight."

"Note: Only works on ordinary creatures. Ineffective on Awakeners or Disaster Creatures."

Even though it was also a somewhat unimpressive Extraordinary Artifact, at least it could be used to create chaos when necessary.

And reflecting on the mundane items rewards he received earlier from investigating the short woman and Little Grass, Fang Ze felt... his luck had been terrible lately!

It's been a long time since he got any decent gear!

He suspected... that his streak of bad luck was tainted by the Flower God's filthy mouth!

Blaming his recent spate of bad luck on the Flower God, Fang Ze ended his late-night investigation for the day and slowly drifted off to sleep...

.....

Meanwhile, as Fang Ze slept.

In Greenwater City, at a secret base of the Rejuvenation Society.

Bandage Woman, who had once saved Fang Ze, sat in the chief's seat. Opposite her were Hua Nu, Director Pang, and Butcher Dog.

Her voice as harsh as the creaking of an old iron door, she slowly spoke, "It seems some trouble has arisen in the organization recently. A few of the Saints have gone missing one after another."

"The President suspects there's a mole within the organization and has asked me to investigate it."

"However, my mission in Emerald City has not yet been fulfilled."

"You once told me that Fang Ze possesses 'Qin 28' and is willing to trade it with the organization, provided I save his life."

"Although I don't know why there were so many at the Yang Transformation level that day, I did fulfill my promise to intervene at least."

"So, I need to get that 'Qin 28.'"

"Previously, Fang Ze was detained on the Sky Mother Ship, and no one could contact him."

"But now, according to the latest information, not only has he escaped, but he has also successfully become the Director of the Security Bureau."

"So, what I want to know now is, can the promise he made to the organization be fulfilled?"

At this point, her black, hollow eyes beneath the bandages swept over the three people present and she asked, "Who is willing to take the initiative to contact him and push the trade forward?"

.....

Meanwhile. Miaohua City.

In a run-down house, a living body that looked exactly like Fang Ze was laid out in the center of a room.

Black Bull, a winged beauty, and an old crone were silently conversing beside the body,
