Conference room in the inner ring official building.
A man with a buzz cut pressed a button on the remote control: "Distinguished leaders, please take a look."
A somewhat blurry video appeared on the screen.
A fiery red sphere hurtled through the air and exploded on a person in the blink of an eye.
The person instantly turned into a human torch.
No matter what they used, they couldn't extinguish the fire and were eventually burned alive.
"This footage was captured by an old surveillance camera in the outlying District 88."
"According to the technical department's speculation, there is an 80% probability that it is the magic skill 'Fireball' from 'Gods'."
"According to the information from our comrades at the front, there is a 50% probability that this person was the one who released the fireball, but we cannot rule out the possibility that someone deliberately framed him."
"Zhou Yi, male, 33 years old, unemployed, divorced a month ago."
A full-body image of Zhou Yi appeared on the screen.
The Demon City Lord frowned and said, "Is that all the information you have?"
The crew-cut man sighed, "Millions of refugees have gathered in the border areas, and the situation has long been out of control. Much information can only be gathered on-site."
"Is that player named Caesar the same person?" the police chief asked.
The crew-cut man shook his head and said, "The probability of him being Caesar is less than 0.1%. Caesar is currently level 5. Only if the entire team gives up experience could he level up so quickly."
"Zhou Yi has neither funds nor a team, so he basically doesn't fit the bill."
According to his neighbors, Zhou Yi owes a lot of debt, and it's hard to say whether he has any login devices.
Just then, the phone rang.
Upon seeing the call notification, the Demon City Lord immediately clicked to answer with a respectful expression.
"Yes, yes, okay, I will obey orders without question..."
A moment later, the Demon City Lord hung up the phone, picked up the fax handed to him by his secretary, and said solemnly, "I hereby announce that Project Superpower is officially launched, codenamed 749. All departments must give it their full support!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood up, their expressions solemn.
Zhou Yi put down his chopsticks and let out a satisfied burp.
This meal was satisfying from head to toe.
Full of energy and high spirits.
Launching 10 fireballs now would be no problem.
Pay by card.
"Sir, please feel free to contact me if you have any food or beverage needs in the future."
Restaurant manager Gao Xiaofang handed over her business card with both hands, her fingertips brushing against Zhou Yi's palm.
Such a handsome and mature man is a rare sight, even for her.
Zhou Yi chuckled: "Can we contact you for other needs?"
Gao Xiaofang, her face flushed like a peach blossom, covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "I'll be waiting anytime."
Zhou Yi smiled, nodded, and left.
Just as I arrived at the gate of the Mountain and Water Manor, a woman stormed over. Who else could it be but my ex-wife, Xu Meiting?
The young security guard immediately stepped forward: "Sir, do you need any help?"
Zhou Yi waved his hand.
He wanted to see what this woman was up to.
I haven't even confronted her yet.
The young security guard didn't leave; instead, he stood by, watching intently.
The restaurant manager just called and instructed us not to neglect this guest.
"Well, Zhou Yi! Are you even a man?" Xu Meiting stepped a meter away and crossed her arms.
Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Don't you know whether I'm a man or not?"
Xu Meiting's gaze instinctively drifted downwards, then she instantly realized what she was doing and coldly snorted, "Speak! Why did you hide this from me? I'll give you a chance to explain!"
"What am I hiding from you?"
Where did you get the money?
"Borrowed."
"You...who would lend it to you? Let me tell you, you're not leaving until you explain yourself! Otherwise, I'll never speak to you again!"
Zhou Yi said with a face full of gratitude, "Then I really have to thank you for letting me go!"
"You..." Xu Meiting suddenly choked.
Seeing that force wouldn't work, Xu Meiting suddenly looked very hurt.
"If I don't look for you, won't you come looking for me? Shouldn't a man have some gentlemanly manners?"
The Book of Changes: ? ? ?
Please! We're already divorced!
Zhou Yi instantly lost his patience.
"Security guard, I need a taxi."
The young security guard immediately waved to the taxi in the distance.
Seeing this, Xu Meiting became visibly anxious and tried to pull Zhou Yi away.
Zhou Yi took a step back to avoid the groping hand.
"I'm already like this, what more do you want?" Xu Meiting asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
Zhou Yi almost clapped and cheered.
This bitch is wasting her talent by not acting in pornographic films.
"Alright! Stop playing this game with me! If you really want to get back together, kneel down and beg me, and maybe I'll consider it." Zhou Yi waved his hand.
The young security guard respectfully opened the taxi door.
Zhou Yi sat in the back seat.
Xu Meiting wanted to get on the car, but was stopped by the security guard, and she stomped her feet in frustration.
The next second, the car window rolled down.
Xu Meiting was secretly delighted.
Sure enough, he still cares about me!
Xu Meiting quickly straightened her expression, putting on an indifferent look.
Zhou Yi said through the window, "By the way, the IOU for the 100,000 yuan you borrowed is with me. I've already paid back 200,000 yuan with interest. If you can help me cover this deficit, I might consider getting back together with you."
The taxi sped away, leaving Xu Meiting alone, bewildered in the wind.
Pay him back? How could he expect a woman to pay him back?
How dare he do this?
"Meiting, why did he leave? Didn't you say he would definitely kneel down and beg you to get back together?" Liao Xiaochai asked.
In fact, she had just witnessed the whole thing.
But saying that was deliberately meant to provoke Xu Meiting.
Sure enough, Xu Meiting said with feigned confidence, "He's definitely trying to annoy me! I'll just ignore him for a few days, and he'll definitely come running to fawn over me again, just like before."
