Ch18 - [The so-called battle level of five] His frustrated look will be even more entertaining.

Diya felt amused. However, with this kind of thing, a third party present would always influence the atmosphere. Therefore, he very correspondingly moved away. Before he left, he even gave a profound and enigmatic smile.

After he created a certain distance, he flashed into a hidden corner and started to observe. in. secret!

From his angle, he just happened to see his boss holding down the other man from the back with his right hand. Any moment now, Boss was about to act……

“Bang bang bang–” Chaotic footsteps sounding, a huge black shadow charged over at the two entangled people, like a rapidly spinning and flying ball.

Head pressed down, Nalun spun half a circle. When he raised his head, he discovered a few black insect legs waving in front of his eyes.

“Hiss!” With an insect cry, the fat round bug raised its two front legs and stepped down on Sirius.

However, Sirius moved even faster. After evading to the side, he didn’t back up and advanced instead. One hand clamping down on Nalun’s wrist tightly, he swung his other hand horizontally at the bug’s stomach.

The originally ferocious and aggressive bug instantly lost its balance. 8 legs trembling in unison, it fell limp to the ground a few seconds later with a ‘paji’

Nalun: “……” Alright, this was definitely a battle level of five.

Lvl 5 Xi Jin looked at him in resentment.

This exchange only took a few seconds. When Diya rushed over, it was already over. He silently took out handcuffs and asked the boss if he should use it with his eyes.

As a result, with a feeling of heaviness on his hands, Nalun found himself cuffed. At the same time, Sirius let go of him and gently helped him pat off the dust on his clothes: “See, since it’s already like this, why not answer a few of my questions first?”

Nalun’s heart fell heavily, worried that Sirius might ask about what happened that night.

The development of the situation right now was not what he had planned . The starting point of this entire matter was to prevent Xi Jin from exposing the truth that ‘the Honored Prince Nalun’ was ‘the big beard.’ However right now, this situation seemed even more terrible than being exposed.

“The youth who caused a commotion yesterday at the entrance of the clubhouse… is this bug, right?”

Nalun was shocked. However, amidst the shock, he also felt this was expected. Sure enough, the fact that Xi Jin was an Insectoid couldn’t be hidden in the dark.

His eye expression already answered everything. Sirius continued to say: “You guys teamed up to create a lie. His act was exposed, yet your deceit was on a higher level. Therefore, he was captured but you were safe and sound. However, what’s the purpose of these lies? You should know, other than beating the grass and inadvertently alerting the enemy, nothing else was accomplished.”

Nalun stiffened his face, speechless.

Sirius thought they were accomplices?

…… Thinking about it carefully, this did seem pretty suspicious.

Just yesterday, because of trying to blacken a certain person, he was caught red-handed. Furthermore, the remarks he spoke seemed to have complemented Xi Jin’s actions. One of them was singing the main script on the stage; the other was off-stage inciting the audience. One in the open, one in the shadows, a tacit coordination.

Then today, he risked danger to come rescue the bug; when he was captured and restrained, the huge bug came charging over fearlessly to save him…… If he said they weren’t working together, even he felt a slight disbelief.

Just as Nalun started dazing off, Sirius called out: “En? I am still waiting for your explanation, baobei.”

“I don’t know.” He replied passively, then expressed sincerely: “I was being serious.”

Sirius fell silent.

Nalun said: “If this really were a plot, the result wouldn’t be this full of holes.”

Diya interrupted: “Not necessarily. The brain capacity of Insectoids is only 10% that of Asha people.”

Nalun: “……”

His ankle suddenly felt a bit itchy, as if there was something soft looping around it.

“Pss pss.” Xi Jin’s voice traveled into his ears: “Get ready, big beard.”

Nalun: “?”

Inside other people’s ears, these words were only insect buzzing, as if the bug was expressing its dissatisfaction towards Diya’s words.

The antenna wrapped around his ankle. The originally ‘dead’ 8 legged, huge bug stood up vigorously and threw its little companion onto its back.

The abrupt weightlessness gave Nalun a wave of dizziness. When he recovered, he discovered that the views on both sides of him were receding at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, the little companion forcibly bound to him was currently carrying him and putting all of its energy into running away.

With a gust of wind, the hat on Nalun’s head blew off and fell to the ground when he was tossed into the air, making his slightly curly black hair flutter wildly in the air.

Sirius watched the back views of the man and bug as they disappeared into the distance.

Diya: “Not giving chase?”

Sirius took a step, bent down and picked up the hat that was left on the ground. His dark colored eyes carried a casual and leisure amusement.

Under Diya’s surprised expression, Sirius said with a smile: “After a round of struggle, his frustrated look will be even more entertaining.”

Diya: “……” Are you a lunatic?

At this time, Diya truly missed that devoted and reliable friend of his: “I’m really looking forward to seeing Andrew’s expression.” If he saw everything that had happened today with his own eyes.

Sirius: “But right now, he might not want to see you.”

Diya shrugged: “He’s probably regretting his thoughtless decision in requesting for a job transfer.”

Recalling the cold-faced Andrew, who was interacting with the crowd not long ago, Diya couldn’t help but smile in glee.

Sirius: “If this Metal-devouring bug successfully escapes, you’ll be directly responsible.”

Smile dropping, Diya had an incredulous look on his face.

Sirius: “Since Andrew is doing your job, then you should also take over his original responsibilities.”

Diya, in a complex mood: “In other words, a job exchange?”

Sirius: “You can think of it like that.”

Diya: “……”

Xi Jin didn’t run for too long before stopping. Body tilting, the huge bug fell to the ground with an insect cry. Its 8 legs trembled as it attempted to stand up.

Nalun immediately understood: “The drug is taking effect?”

No, he should say, it’s finally taking effect. The supposed instant result, on Xi Jin, became a long delayed reaction. The timing of this result was really not a good timing either.
