After finishing the meal, it was only past nine in the evening. Qu Jianlei bid farewell to the three women and, after resting for a while, opened the courtyard gate to leave.

Then he was astonished to find someone standing under a tree not far from the door.

I didn’t sense it? He was slightly surprised, then relaxed... It turned out to be Cyan Mountain!

Cheng Qingshan leaned lazily against the tree and asked, ”Going out again?”

”Someone always has to pay for their actions,” Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, ”What do you say?”

Cheng Qingshan sighed leisurely, ”You said you wouldn’t bring trouble into the academy?”

Qu Jianlei nodded, ”I did say that, the academy’s honor... cannot be tarnished!”

Someone dared to openly enter the academy and abduct a volunteer teacher, you shouldn’t hold me back, right?

”Hmm,” Cheng Qingshan nodded slightly, then his words were surprising, ”Need help?”

”Well...” Qu Jianlei thought for a moment but still shook his head, ”Thanks, but it involves the Supreme.”

”What about the Supreme?” Cheng Qingshan smiled indifferently, ”I’m also interested in meeting them!”

He is indeed the first under the Supreme, really has his pride!

Qu Jianlei hesitated before answering, ”Then thank you... However, there is likely more than one Supreme.”

More than one? Cheng Qingshan was dumbfounded hearing this and after thinking for a while, he asked, ”How many Supremes do you have?”

Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, ”Even if there’s not a single Supreme, I can’t let anyone bully me.”

Slick! Cheng Qingshan cursed inwardly, then lightly coughed, ”Alright then, the academy’s safety is in my hands.”

He was a bit dissatisfied, but, people have to be realistic.

If it’s one Supreme, he doesn’t mind testing the opponent a bit, but if it’s more than one, then there’s no need to seek death.

Qu Jianlei was not surprised at all by his attitude, nor did he want to drag him into this muddy water.

”Then I’ll leave the academy matters to you, I’ll try to confine the conflict outside the academy.”

Cheng Qingshan was silent, until the other party disappeared into the night, he sighed, ”Take care!”

Qu Jianlei rented a motorcycle again with anonymous Card Coin.

It’s not that the motorcycle is particularly convenient, but the transportation tools in his hands have a very high damage rate.

A while ago one car was destroyed, and just now Aaron’s self-combustion destroyed another motorcycle.

So it’ll be a motorcycle, even landlords have no surplus grain, and the motorcycle helmet can also cover the face a bit.

The positioning disruptor of that person was still on, and Qu Jianlei reached the disruptor’s range all the way.

This was in the bustling area, very lively at night, for instance, Adventurer’s House is located in this area.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t in a hurry, riding the motorcycle casually around.

His spiritual power released a little, not rushing to get any results immediately, safety comes first.

The perception’s effect was quite poor, too many people within this square kilometer.

But he couldn’t be impatient, Qu Jianlei had an obsession, yet at times like these, he’s really calm.

Having been to Adventurer’s House in the past, each time he passed by, he’d seriously feel the surroundings a bit.

He suddenly sensed a familiar aura after passing by for the umpteenth time.

Following this aura, he discovered a woman wearing a cat face mask.

Imperial doesn’t favor masquerade balls, but just like Sofia taking him to the black market, COSPLAY is very popular.

”Camille?” Qu Jianlei’s lips curled into a smile, this person could be approached.

So he put away the motorcycle and entered the Adventurer’s House with his head held high.

Camille wasn’t in a cubicle but sitting at the bar, still dressed very revealingly, flaunting her fiery figure.

Most of her face was still covered by a cat face mask, clearly the type of woman waiting for prey in amusement venues.

Qu Jianlei went to her side and knocked on the bar openly, ”A glass of sparkling wine!”

The bartender hadn’t had time to react when Camille had already turned around, speaking impatiently.

”I’ve already said, don’t... It’s you?”

Qu Jianlei was also wearing a mask, but A-level Warriors observe not just appearance, but also sense aura.

”Hello,” Qu Jianlei nodded, tossing out a Card Coin, ”Sparkling wine, get this lovely lady a glass as well.”

”I don’t drink that,” Camille shook her head, ”I want something stronger, will you buy me a Blood Night Jazz?”

”I don’t recommend you drink Blood Night Jazz,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”It’s a bit strong, affects business talk.”

”Business talk?” Camille was startled, then laughed, her laughter swaying waves and rippling.

”It’s rare you come to discuss business with me, so I’m determined on this Blood Night Jazz.”

”Alright then, Blood Night Jazz,” Qu Jianlei took out another Card Coin, placing it on the bar.

A smile just appeared on the cat girl’s lips when the other party spoke solemnly, ”No business talk, just a drink for you.”

”So stingy?” She pouted, ”Alright, a glass of sparkling wine... What’s the business?”

Of course it’s a multi-billion dollar deal! The bartender glanced at her nonchalantly and turned away to mix the drink.

”Looking for someone,” Qu Jianlei muttered softly, ”just nearby.”

”A few hours ago, someone self-combusted?” Camille pursed her crimson lips and then stuck out her tongue to lick them.

This action was infinitely charming and tempting, yet inexplicably lazy, making the eyes of several men nearby stare straight.

Camille seemed oblivious; she casually asked, ”Is it related to this person?”

”Yes,” Qu Jianlei nodded, ”Are you taking the job?”

”Tell me more,” Camille stretched lazily, fully showcasing her exquisite figure, ”You know our principles.”

Qu Jianlei swirled his glass, his eyes fixed on the bubbles within, speaking carelessly.

”The self-combusted one had contacted some people before coming to me.”

”Oh, is it his employer?” Camille’s gaze was dreamy, but her reaction was top-notch.

She nodded shakily, ”This job could be taken, but... it’s going to be very expensive.”

Qu Jianlei wasn’t someone who cared about money, but at this moment, he keenly sensed a slight unease.

He snorted lightly to express dissatisfaction, ”Why do I feel like you’re planning to retaliate against me?”

”Retaliate against you? That’s a must,” Camille took a sip of wine before replying slowly.

”Last time you made us lose a lot of money, we have to earn it back somehow, don’t we?”

”Of course, since you came here, it’s definitely not because you miss me, proving you’ve already got quite a lead?”

”Correct,” Qu Jianlei nodded, feeling admiration for her quick thinking and deduction.

Inferring these circumstances wasn’t hard; the difficulty lay in saying them so quickly and with such certainty.

In dealings between major forces, the subtleties are very delicate; speaking freely is fine, but some words spoken wrongly are embarrassing.

”Seems it’s nearby,” Camille muttered softly, her mind really was sharp.

”At least... a million then.”

”...” Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly; he’d bought intelligence before, but this price was outrageous.

The cat-faced woman shook her head, her alluring charm diminished considerably.

”I’m not quoting a random price, Aaron’s employer should be the force of the family-wiping Desis, right?”

”They could command the Customs Enforcement Division and Bida, forcing Aaron to willingly self-combust; do you think it’s a small force?”

”A million is just the starting price; I’m being very sincere since we’re taking this instead of them giving us the commission.”

”The employer’s employer is not my employer... otherwise, even ten million wouldn’t make us take it.”

There is reason to what she says, but Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”I always feel like you’re raising the price right off the bat.”

Camille chuckled softly at his words, then licked her vibrant red lips with her tongue, ”I am hiking up the price indeed.”

The next moment, her face turned stern as she spoke seriously.

”Alright, no kidding, this force must have at least two Supremes... even one Supreme wouldn’t dare do this.”

”A force like this, is charging you a million expensive? Not bragging, but aside from us, no one dares sell you intelligence!”

Qu Jianlei did not doubt this statement; the scavengers were indeed audacious and reckless.

Yet, one million as a starting price! He sighed, ”You promised me three times of free intelligence!”

”Does this count as one?” Camille’s lips curled into a smile, ”Of course it can, but... it’s a pity.”

Qu Jianlei remained unmoved, calmly replying, ”Money spent is your own; I’m not a miser.”

”That’s... quite an interesting view,” Camille smiled slightly, ”Alright, give me the lead.”

Qu Jianlei first reported a watch number, then mentioned the call time, and how the other party always kept the positioning jammer on.

”Alright, that’s enough,” Camille nodded, set down her glass, and got up.

”Alright, I’ll be right back... Waiter, bring this gentleman a Bloody Jazz, on me!”

This woman indeed had a loose attitude when playing around, but her work efficiency was truly high.

In less than five minutes, she returned, ”It’s arranged, you should have news in an hour... you haven’t drunk?”

”Might need to take action later,” Qu Jianlei answered casually, ”Struggling to drink only to expel it, what’s the point?”

Camille rolled her eyes at him, ”Then why eat, won’t that get expelled too?”

At her words, Qu Jianlei helplessly raised a thumb, ”Your words... really have a flavor.”

Camille paused for a moment, then laughed, her laughter making her entire being sway like flowers in bloom, drawing the gaze of many men.

Indeed, Qu Jianlei’s demeanor didn’t make him look like a good person, so no one approached.

However, good times always pass quickly; half an hour later, Camille’s watch vibrated.

She glanced down at it, her smile immediately freezing at her lips.

Then she looked up, with a strange expression at Qu Jianlei, ”Now I’m really starting to look forward to your capabilities...”
