The Collection of Gods’ current plight was very awkward. In the early days, they had a complete inheritance and many ancient resources, allowing them to rise rapidly. As a result, they grew complacent and made many enemies.
In the past, they often fought the Heavenly Network head-on overseas. However, they had never expected that the Heavenly Network would suddenly produce two Class A’s. This was simply too frightening…
If one were to single out the Collection of Gods, they would be very powerful. But the whole world knew that if a large organisation did not have a single Class A, the real stage would belong to only the four organisations with Class A’s: the Golden Foundation, the Heavenly Network, the Department of Faith Theory, and the Phoenix Society.
Strength determined one’s position. It had been this way since the beginning of time.
Lu Shu waited for the truck to leave before suddenly asking. “Why has the base beside us suddenly started operations?”
Kawayoshi said impatiently. “Isn’t it because some strong attackers from the Heavenly Network killed so many people recently? They have to shift to a safer place to conduct some of their affairs.”
Kawayoshi then lowered his voice. “For Lord Takashima to advance to Class A!”
“Oh, it would be great if Lord Takashima were able to advance to Class A,” Lu Shu nodded. It seemed like he agreed with Kawayoshi, but he did not think so in reality.
The Heavenly Network had already planted spies in the Collection of Gods and would definitely know this before Lu Shu did. Perhaps the Collection of Gods was also clear that they could not conceal an experiment of such a massive scale, hence they had to move here lest the Heavenly Network came and destroyed their results.
Kawayoshi suddenly laughed out loud. “Earlier you were with Nogiwa Takenobu, weren’t you? But now that Nogiwa is dead, following me is your best choice. Come join me.”
Kawayoshi headed towards the dorm as he finished speaking. “You guard the outside. I’ll be training.”
It was as if Kawayoshi had become the boss of the warehouse, leaving Lu Shu with the manual work while he focused on training.
Behind Kawayoshi, Lu Shu was happy without any complaint. If what Kawayoshi said was true, that they could expect a day where Kawayoshi was reemployed, then the chance of Lu Shu doing things by himself was up to Kawayoshi as well…
The distress points that the Collection of Gods provided him had dropped significantly today. Lu Shu had already earned 400,000 points of the 3.2 million points needed to illuminate the seventh star. Needless to say, the character”chai” 1 had been of great help to Lu Shu…
Lu Shu was like a normal warehouse security guard, on guard while sitting outside the warehouse. Kawayoshi said that he would go train by himself, but within half an hour, a very young girl appeared outside the doors of the warehouse.
The girl bowed to Lu Shu and said, “Senpai, Nagaya senpai let me come here to find him.”
Lu Shu was speechless. Couldn’t he have a break after purposely being assigned as a warehouse security guard?! That’s why your urine splits into three streams! You can’t blame anyone else if you suddenly die!
Within 20 minutes, she came out of the dorm neatly dressed. She bowed to Lu Shu before leaving.
Kawayoshi came out of the dorm, looking very pleased with himself. “How was that? They come immediately when I call them!”
Lu Shu replied. “Yes, Lord Nagaya is amazing!”
“Ha ha. In the next two days I will be examining a new batch of talented students. Perhaps we will run into some good ones,” Kawayoshi laughed. “You’re in luck, coming into contact with me now.”
Lu Shu rolled his eyes, but he could not do anything. Concealing his identity also had its drawbacks. Lu Shu really wanted to return to his original identity and beat him to death.
“Lord Nagaya, when you are reemployed, can you bring me along with you? I really have no relations with the Conservatives,” said Lu Shu.
Kawayoshi laughed. “Did you really need to ask? No worries. With your strength, putting you as a warehouse manager is a waste of talent.” Kawayoshi laughed and was suddenly curious, “Hm? Yamada, I haven’t seen you shrug your shoulders today…”
As he finished speaking, Kawayoshi felt a chill down his spine. He did not know why either…
Lu Shu shrugged his shoulders and said, “Ha ha, I don’t shrug my shoulders all the time either.”
Kawayoshi laughed. “True. What do you usually eat?”
As Kawayoshi spoke, he carefully observed Lu Shu. Lu Shu laughed. “Walk 500 metres from here. There is a snack bar on the left. I usually eat there.”
Kawayoshi laughed and asked, “Hey, you were once Nogiwa Hakushun’s driver and assistant, right? What kind of person was he?”
“He,” Lu Shu shrugged his shoulders, “was too sarcastic. Of course I only say this because he’s not around anymore. Not like I’m afraid he’ll hear me though. Did you know that his wife had an affair? Nogiwa Hakushun had a fondness for locking his wife in a cage. He was so cruel.”
Kawayoshi suddenly burst into laughter. “Are you serious? What an odd person!”
In actual fact this was a secret. Kawayoshi happened to know this, as he had once been assigned to investigate Kitamura Kijitori and Nogiwa Takenobu under Takashima Tairatsu.
Kawayoshi had been suspicious of Lu Shu’s identity and wanted to probe further. He did not expect Lu Shu to expose such a secret and immediately dropped his suspicion.
In fact, the Heavenly Network’s intelligence was very solid. No wonder Nie Ting often knew the trends of overseas Practitioners in advance.
The resources that the Heavenly Network had provided Lu Shu with included many details that “Yamada Akira” should know, such as his daily habits, the surroundings of the warehouse, as well as some secrets of his former colleagues.
Of course, not all intelligence agents were like this. Besides, the Lu Shu was here to replace Yamada Akira, thus the information this time was more thorough.
Nagaya proudly declared, “At first I was in the same department as Nogiwa Hakushun. He was always stronger than me. Afterwards I made use of my strengths as a Class D to become the acting Head of a Department. Do you know what this means?”
Lu Shu was momentarily shocked. He said, “Does that mean Nogiwa Hakushun got promoted?” Wasn’t this what he meant? In the beginning Nogiwa Hakushun was the Head of Department. If Nogiwa did not get promoted, how could you become the Head of Department?
“From Nagaya Kawayoshi’s distress, +666!”
According to the script, Lu Shu should have praised him for having the recognition of the bosses, as he was able to become the acting Head of Department as a Class D. Was he fine with not following the flow of events? What was wrong with him?
Kawayoshi had never seen someone with as little observational skills as Lu Shu…
He kept silent for a long time before finally explaining. “It was supposed to be me who received rapid promotion, that’s why Nogiwa Hakushun was allocated to a higher position!”
To be honest, it was Lu Shu’s first time seeing someone so shameless. This Kawayoshi really thought too highly of himself.
It was also this day’s interaction that left Lu Shu with two impressions of round face Nagaya Kawayoshi. One, that his kidney was in poor condition and two, that he thought too highly of himself.
