"My information is more accurate. I heard that all of this is orchestrated by that little pretty boy named Chen Che!"

"Are you talking about that female demon's bedmate?"

"Exactly! That guy, wasn't he quite famous the other day? He took out the entire Horus Grand Casino, forced a manager of the Tasting Commerce Association to death. It's said all this was his planning.

Anyway, nobody knows how he did it, but he managed to get all his forces up into the desert for a battle.

Then picked up the spoils with the female demon!"

"I don't believe a pretty boy like him. If he had that kind of power, why would he stick around a woman's bed? If he's really that cunning, he'd likely have become a big shot in the Ninth Special Zone by now, right?"

"Yeah, why would he have that kind of strength and hang out with that female demon? She's the type to kill without blinking. You never know when you might die at her hands!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you guys keep calling her a female demon. Have you forgotten what this female demon looks like? How's her figure? How many women in our Ninth Special Zone can compare to her? Even though he's a pretty boy, not nice to say, but to spend day and night engaging with the female demon, damn... if it were me, I'd also like to be by her side!"

"I wouldn't want that. If one day the female demon is unhappy, you wouldn't even know how you died."

"Those of you saying you wouldn't want it have never really seen this female demon offline. Damn it, her face, her eyes really can draw your soul away. If you could have a go with this female demon just once, I'd be willing to die for it!"

The murmurs of street talks were everywhere, spreading the news constantly.

All were speculations about the recent actions of different parties.

The news was both true and false, and nobody knew where it originally came from.

Amidst all the discussions, even Chen Che didn't expect that his name would resonate once more in the alleys and streets.

Perhaps being An Nishang's male companion was far too provocative for everyone's dialogue.

Many people inexplicably steered the conversation towards him.

Speculations about him were endless.

There was even talk that the huge losses of the Security Team and the Commerce Association this time were all due to him, that he harmed them.

Although essentially that's how it was...

...

An Nishang's villa.

After the arms were brought back, they were well secured by An Nishang.

An Nishang was in a very good mood today.

Chen Che sat on the sofa, holding a notebook, jotting and sketching.

His mind was contemplating if there was anything overlooked in this action, calculating what the various forces would do upon return, what their reactions would be.

Know thyself, know thy enemy, and a hundred battles will not defeat.

The Count's ambition for power and unique ability ignited his thirst for power.

The Count's other ability, political forecasting.

Can lead Chen Che into a meditative state, using current intelligence to predict future events.

For instance, now… Bode has suffered such a big loss, surely he will suspect that the Special Operations Department is behind it, possibly connecting it to him. Would he send someone to retaliate, or continue vying for the director's position, risking everything?

Or perhaps, considering the overall situation, to ensure self-preservation, retreating solidly and taking another path.

After suffering such a big loss, what is the Commerce Association doing now?

Grudges old and new piled together, their hostility towards him should have reached its peak.

What will the Apocalypse Society do next? How will they act? How will they perceive him?

In the vortex of power after vortex, Chen Che closed his eyes in meditation, as if walking on a tightrope, one wrong move in chess could lead to endless doom.

Compared to his brain working feverishly, Xia Na in the yard next door appeared carefree, playing a dog-walking game with Bogita using a ball in her hand.

As for An Nishang… the bathroom door sounded a click, and out emerged a snow-white figure, without a stitch to cover her.

Her long hair fell behind, hugged tightly to her curvaceous body, with tiny droplets glistening on her snowy skin, even her long hair was still damp.

Chen Che's head throbbed slightly, thinking too much, catching sight of An Nishang emerging, his tongue dry, as she walked barefooted, stretching towards the sofa.

Her crimson eyes glanced at Chen Che, and Chen Che smiled knowingly, picking up the towel on the sofa to go to her side, helping to wipe dry the water beads on her skin, and dry her damp hair.

Once dried, she lay directly on the sofa, seemingly devoid of any apparent desire, presenting her snow-white body on the sofa, like a dish inviting someone to taste.

Chen Che grabbed An Nishang's feet, the woman, freshly bathed, emitted a subtle aroma, as he sat beside her, placing her legs on his thighs and fondled the Other Shore Flower blooming on her leg.

An Nishang allowed Chen Che to approach her body intimately, letting him indulge in some irreverent acts without care, her enchanting face with delicate and lazy features, as she picked up a display screen, reading the newly sent information from Li Jifu.

On it was a tally of all the arms.

Not a single item of An Nishang's missing arms was absent, all retrieved, and even some stock from the sand bandits.

The Tasting Commerce Association stored a lot of items, all moved away by An Nishang from the sand bandits.

This meant An Nishang not only recovered her arms, but also made a big profit.
