Seeing Jiang Wang's hesitant gaze, a hint of disappointment flashed deep in Aunt Li Xue's eyes.

She now regrets asking that question.

Just as she was about to find another topic to talk about.

Jiang Wang looked straight at Aunt Li Xue as if he had suddenly made up his mind.

"My strength is currently lowly. When my strength is similar to yours, if you are still willing to let me be your partner then, I will be extremely honored."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li Xue's eyes lit up.

"Oh, is this Xiao Jiang Wang's guarantee?"

Looking into Aunt Li Xue's big eyes, Jiang Wang slowly nodded.

"Haha, you little rascal, you'd better hurry up and work hard, because who knows when I might advance to Diamond rank~"

Aunt Li Xue gently tapped Jiang Wang's forehead with her index finger and smiled.

But no one saw the desolation and heartache in her eyes when she turned her head away...

She wanted to be with Jiang Wang, but she didn't want to put pressure on him because of it...

During the time she spent with Jiang Wang, she had already gradually fallen in love with him.

She liked this boy who was sometimes dull, sometimes funny, and sometimes cool.

She liked this boy who loved food and worked hard.

That's why she wanted to become stronger so that Jiang Wang could grow under her wing...

but...

"Don't worry, it will be quick."

Jiang Wang said, holding Aunt Li Xue's hand.

"Wow, you're quite confident, young man."

"By the way, you have no idea how nervous I was just now. When you walked towards Ethan, I was afraid you'd kill him on the spot, but I wasn't that nervous then. But when you went to the counter, I panicked! I was so afraid you didn't have any money, and then we'd be laughed at to death..."

Upon hearing Jiang Wang's assurance, Aunt Li Xue smiled slightly and changed the subject.

Rather than hoping Jiang Wang could advance faster, she hoped he could live a safe and successful life.

Jiang Wang gave an awkward smile upon hearing Aunt Li Xue's description.

"Is it really that bad? Do I look that poor?"

"Otherwise, I wonder who in the Primordial Realm managed to steal so many clothes from me just by using their connections~"

Jiang Wang felt a headache coming on when this was mentioned; he couldn't get over this dark history.

As for Ethan...

Jiang Wang didn't kill him on the spot, but... it was close enough...

Ethan, whose body had been taken over by various nanite insectoids, was still roaring at the terminal.

"What do you mean 'can't find anything'?! What do you mean 'completely blank'? Have I been paying you all this money to do nothing?! I need to know the exact forces behind you!"

"Bang!"

Actually, you can't blame Ethan's investigators. One is the Black Serpent's Dark Side, and the other is the Star Alliance Flower... If they could be found out so easily, then these two organizations would be out of business.

Ethan slammed the terminal he was holding onto the ship's soft carpet, and then the woman kneeling on the carpet not far away beckoned...

The scantily clad woman quickly crawled to Ethan's side.

Ethan grabbed the woman's hair and stared at her with a gloomy expression.

"I'm...very angry right now!"

As he spoke, he swung his hand violently, nearly hitting the woman's head on the ground.

But she didn't have time to care about any of that.

He quickly lay down between Ethan's legs and began his unique way of relieving his pent-up desire.

Ethan, lying on the sofa, gradually calmed down from his initial anger, eventually settling into a look of enjoyment...

With the woman's efforts.

"Mmm~"

Ethan straightened his back slightly and let out a comfortable murmur.

"Phew..."

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.

Once he regained his composure, he realized that the person he had provoked was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

After all, both are white names...

But Ethan just couldn't swallow his anger. Every time he thought about how he had looked at that man with such cowardice and fear, and how deeply humiliated he felt when the man threw scraps of paper over his head...

What troubled him even more was that he might not be able to take revenge...

On the other side, Jiang Wang paid no attention to Ethan's thoughts. Under the control of the nanobots, he couldn't cause any trouble. However, in order to prevent 'Li Tian' from erasing the nanobots through special means, the nanobots that had entered Ethan's body were now lurking in his various fragile and deadly nerves and organs.

As long as Jiang Wang gives the order, Ethan, who can't swallow this insult, will immediately die.

That's true.

Jiang Wang, a socially anxious person.

The Helpful Insect Clan.

Horizontal scroll:

Good citizen.

But Jiang Wang planned to let him die later, since he had just had a conflict with him and then the man died.

The severity of one's own nephew being humiliated is not the same as the severity of one's own nephew dying under mysterious circumstances.

Therefore, we need to minimize the trouble.

He didn't intend to let Ethan die for the time being, but rather to disappear at the right time and in the right way.

On the other side, Zhou Gan looked at the surveillance footage and said to Wang Tianfeng.

"The progress is faster than I expected."

"Um."

Wang Tianfeng nodded helplessly. He understood now; there was no way to win Li Xueyi back.

"The second young master of the Yi family..."

"I doubt it. A barking dog bites but doesn't bite. I don't believe Jiang Wang will let Ethan go so easily. He's probably already halfway to the bottom of the grave."

"Then we..."

"No need. Judging from Jiang Wang's current methods, he should know his limits and can just distance himself from the situation when the time comes. By the way, what was the content of your meeting just now?"

Wang Tianfeng rubbed his temples and said to Zhou Gan, "The story of Aunt Li Xue and Jiang Wang is making my temples throb..."

"What else could it be? It's about the front lines. Sun Mingyuan's idea is to get Jiang Wang to the front lines as soon as possible."

"How can we expedite it? Aunt Xue's period just ended, it will take at least a month."

"Um."

Seeing Zhou Gan's expression, Wang Tianfeng turned around and said.

"They can't be in such a hurry, can they? Can't they even wait a month?"

Seeing the shocked look in Wang Tianfeng's eyes, Zhou Gan remained silent.

Wang Tianfeng was somewhat speechless.

"Alright then, let Jiang Wang go, and Aunt Xue can stay here. We'll let Jiang Wang come back when her period is almost over."

Seeing that Zhou Gan still didn't say anything, Wang Tianfeng became anxious.

"What? Is Jiang Wang that important? Can't he come back?"

"Don't make that face! You're not going to tell me you want Jiang Wang and Aunt Xue to go to the front lines together, are you?! Aunt Xue isn't fully recovered yet!"

Whether they will go together is another matter, but Jiang Wang is indeed that important. The 'mushrooms' he provides have already served as a great deterrent to all races, but the quantity is ultimately limited.

"Moreover, Lin Qingya also wanted Jiang Wang to go to the battlefield of ten thousand races as soon as possible."

"Why did he send Jiang Wang to the battlefield of ten thousand races?!"

Wang Tianfeng was somewhat puzzled, after all, why would Lin Qingya get involved in such a matter?

"His reasoning was that Jiang Wang was born for the battlefield, and only the battlefield could make him stronger the fastest. He wanted Jiang Wang to stay in the battlefield of ten thousand races until he reached platinum level, and then enter the secret realm."

Zhou Gan said expressionlessly.

"Him? Gold Rank 6? Ha, wishful thinking... The time is too short. If the secret realm opens every six months, he'll need a little over a month to advance one rank! Besides, there's the Platinum rank requirement!"

Even if we assume, hypothetically, that he actually makes it to Platinum, then what?

"Even a Platinum Tier 1 cultivator faces a near-certain death if they enter the secret realm! What will Aunt Xue do then?"

Wang Tianfeng turned around and looked at Zhou Gan with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand why they were in such a hurry...
