Chapter 137: Chapter 116: Chip Loading

April 15th, 17649. It was a very ordinary day.

For Binks, however, it was the day he was reborn.

At 9 AM this morning, he was finally able to leave this Demon Country.

"WHOOSH!"

The steam wheel turned as a massive cruise ship departed from Magita Port City.

"Hahaha, I’m finally free."

"I, Binks, swear I will never set foot in this country again for the rest of my life."

"You damn bastards, just you wait. I’ll be back."

Having removed his helmet, Binks was in high spirits. The sea breeze was filled with his flamboyance and smug satisfaction.

On the dock, Ma Qi waved continuously, seeing his boss off.

He was also very excited internally.

The branch office was finally his to command. Perhaps the next time he met Binks, it would be Binks’s turn to kiss his ass.

’I’m actually kind of looking forward to it.’

...

"Boss, are we just going to let that guy leave like this?"

"The bastard looks so smug."

Also on the dock, Leiteri cautiously accompanied his own big boss, watching Binks’s cruise ship disappear from view.

In his opinion, they should have just grabbed Binks and beaten him a few times until he confessed everything.

"I also wanted to solve this problem quickly. Unfortunately, our opponent is too cautious. They didn’t even come to see Binks off."

Chen Qi glanced at the Compass in his hand. Besides himself, everyone within a three-kilometer radius was an ordinary person.

If an apprentice had entered this area, it would have been impossible for him not to notice.

Unless the other party was a scholar.

But in that case, there was nothing to be done. He couldn’t distinguish a scholar mixed in with ordinary people at all.

In truth, Chen Qi wasn’t too disappointed. He had only come here to try his luck.

As long as the person behind the scenes wasn’t an idiot, they definitely wouldn’t come to see Binks off.

One could only say that Binks’s luck was good. If his friend from the Inner World had actually appeared here and been caught in the net...

...then he wouldn’t have been leaving today.

"Has Binks revealed the source of the yellow Talismans?"

"Ma Qi hasn’t pulled any tricks, has he?"

After all, this was his first time "handling a case." Chen Qi couldn’t just stay behind the scenes and direct things forever.

As a competent leader, he had to make an appearance when the time was right.

Besides, the Kingdom Central Intelligence Agency was also involved this time. He had to at least pay a visit to inspect their work and offer some words of encouragement.

"Boss, there’s absolutely no problem on Ma Qi’s end."

"As for the yellow Talismans, they were always delivered by courier to the Comir Company, and they will continue to be."

"We’ve checked the deliveries. Came up with absolutely nothing."

As a good brother, Leiteri dared to vouch for Ma Qi.

Chen Qi nodded after hearing the answer. It was normal that they couldn’t find anything.

It would be comical if their opponent was dumber than a gangster selling contraband.

"I’ll be back in three days."

"Until then, keep everything as it is. The Comir Company is in Ma Qi’s hands!"

The next delivery was scheduled to arrive in three days. Chen Qi wouldn’t have minded staying a few more days to make his presence felt and show off how hard he was working on the case.

Unfortunately, Xiaohong was in a bad way and was waiting for him to go back and perform emergency treatment.

These past few days, either Chen Qi had overestimated his skills, or Xiaohong’s Qi Fortune was at a low ebb.

The fusion of the Blood-colored Chip had been fraught with complications and had failed several times.

If not for Chen Qi’s miraculous medical skills, the Red Falcon King would have "bravely departed from this world."

Even so, after more than a dozen rounds of emergency rescue, the Red Falcon King still twitched from time to time.

So disappointing!

"Boss, rest assured, everything here is under our control."

"When the yellow Talismans arrive, we will notify you immediately. We will absolutely not act rashly."

Leiteri eagerly patted his chest, demonstrating his loyalty and competence to his boss.

Lately, he had been in even higher spirits than Binks was right now.

Indeed, choice is more important than effort. The reason the Hummingbird Squad had drifted from place to place before was simply that they hadn’t met the Boss.

Chen Qi was quite satisfied with Leiteri’s performance. It seemed he could arrange more work for the Hummingbird Squad in the future.

He was sure they would be moved to tears with gratitude.

After nudging the short needle of the Compass once more and confirming there were still no anomalies, Chen Qi left Magita Port City by car.

As he left, Chen Qi picked up a little "local specialty" for Xiaohong.

He took ten whole boxes of Longevity Hormone, which sold for three million per injection.

This was basically the Comir Company’s entire stock. After everything was over in a few days, these would probably be considered out of print.

...

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!"

「Fadir Mine. Inside the metal fortress.」

A small red bird struggled, flapping its wings on the ground. It yearned to fly to the heavens, but its wings felt like they weren’t the original parts; they refused to obey its commands.

"CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP!"

The Red Falcon King chirped furiously, cursing up a storm. It stared viciously at the black patterns that had appeared on its feathers, finding them utterly hideous no matter how it looked.

"Lord Red Falcon King, it’s time for your medicine!"

Taruno approached the Red Falcon, trembling so violently he looked like a patient having an epileptic seizure.

It was no wonder he was in such a sorry state. Before, ignorance had made him fearless.

But now that he knew how terrifying the Red Falcon was, he was naturally afraid his eyes might suddenly vanish without a trace.

For the half-day that Chen Qi had been gone, he had been responsible for waiting on the Red Falcon King.

"CLICK!"

Taruno took out a Soldier’s Rations Pill and carefully placed it in front of the Red Falcon King.

The next instant, there was an explosive crack in the air as the Soldier’s Rations Pill vanished.

These past few days, the Red Falcon King had been surviving solely on Soldier’s Rations Pills.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand the immense cellular consumption within its body.
