Arindel was indeed a main combatant, and after Fahim had an incident, he planned to go to Star No. 2 and join forces with Amestina against the enemy.

However, the Cyan Blade Commerce Association didn’t arrange that, instead, they sent him to the Star of Hope to strengthen the local forces.

The reason given by the association was reasonable: Star One could not be lost, otherwise it would affect the overall commercial layout.

The key point is that the enemies on Star No. 2 were deeply hidden, sending him there would not find the opponents, but would rather restrain two Supreme combat powers.

In other words, the association was fully aware of Amestina’s predicament but had no better choice.

In response to her plea for help, everyone could only decline, not because they didn’t want to help, but because there were no hands to spare.

Later, when she hid under the protection of Bu Shang Supreme, the people from the association could only watch, disregarding face.

After Fahim was finished off, Arindel became even more furious, feeling that he was completely idle on the Star of Hope.

It was only when Bida began negotiating with the other side that he acknowledged his side’s situation.

Later, the association hired another Supreme at a high price and still arranged them on Star One, Arindel no longer objected.

He realized clearly that once the matter on Star No. 2 was over, the Star of Hope would face a brutal slaughter.

He even secretly pondered whether to talk to the association, suggesting Amestina give up Star No. 2 and unite on Star One.

Concentrating forces to fight was the right strategy, the current scattered layout was a path to defeat.

However, the development of the situation once again presented an unexpected turn; the enemy forces involving Panda were connected to Hoyel’s case.

Arindel hadn’t thought clearly about what to do next, and then encountered two major events.

The enemy on the Star of Hope acquired Wood Attribute Poison, and soon after, the enemy alien forces also arrived.

Honestly, he felt a little lost, unsure of what to do.

Yet a day later, he received new news that Cohen, a Supreme from the Divine Text Research Association, was about to arrive at the Star of Hope.

So he went looking for Fubi, that was a Supreme hired by the Cyan Blade Commerce Association.

Fubi was in the same gathering point as him, in Jiuchuan City.

It wasn’t because the two were timid, but because the situation on Star No. 2 showed everyone that the opponent was too fierce, and being alone as a Supreme was very dangerous.

Fubi was not very interested in proactively engaging in combat, and stayed at the gathering point all day.

Still, he had set up many little measures, and if someone rashly attacked, they’d be in big trouble for sure.

Upon hearing Arindel’s news, he frowned, ”How is your relationship with the Divine Text Research Association?”

”Just so-so,” Arindel answered casually, ”Closer than with the government and the military, with more private contacts.”

Strictly speaking, the Divine Text Research Association is indeed an official force, with a very high level of hierarchy.

However, for all Superpower Warriors, especially the Supreme ones, this research association cannot be avoided.

The Blade Star Realm is quite wild, but it has to take a different view of them as well.

Fubi listened and snorted inwardly, the truth still could not escape, ”And you don’t regard them as the government?”

”The Divine Text Research Association belongs to the entire Awakened group,” Arindel answered without hesitation.

”The government is just managing on behalf, whoever rules, manages on behalf!”

Indeed, this kind of rhetoric! Fubi expressed without hesitation, ”You might consider cooperating with them.”

He just wanted to earn some stable money, although more could be earned encountering battles, the more helpers, the better, right?

In fact, he didn’t support breaking things up immediately.

”Even against Panda’s group, the plan is not easy to change... strive to negotiate while fighting, we won’t be the lead!”

”I agree,” Arindel nodded, answering irritably, ”Just feeling a bit oppressed.”

Cohen, the Supreme from the Divine Text Research Association, arrived the next day, bringing news: digging into the loose ends of the Hoyel case!

His arrival had a significant impact.

Many Supremes in Hope Star Realm were willing to get closer to the research association, now with a dedicated person coming, they worked even harder.

Some Supremes originally were lazy to bother about this matter, but now with someone having arrived, it seemed inappropriate to show no stance.

Thus, the two Supremes on Star No. 2 continued to search, and each had one Supreme helping on Star No. 3 and Star No. 4.

Times changed, on Star No. 2, some even resurrecting old matters, wanting to investigate Xiang Xue and Zi Jiu Immortal.

However, Granny Jia and the old dean were not easy to mess with, both strongly opposed expanding the issue.

Go find the ones you should find, don’t bully unrelated people.

As for Star One... two Supremes were dispatched, namely Arindel and Cohen.

Cohen initially wanted to be stationed to support, hoping Cyan Blade and the military would each send a Supreme.

But the military categorically refused: Don’t come to me with that nonsense!

Panda indeed had certain suspicions, but that’s our own business, since when could the Divine Text Research Association command the military?

Cohen was compelled to reach out to Fubi.

However, Fubi didn’t take that, I am hired by the association, what does your Divine Text Research have to do with me?

Not every Supreme will give face to the Divine Text Association, some have grudges, while Fubi simply has no demand.

He was here solely for money, moreover, since the Supreme of the military already refused you, who isn’t a Supreme?

Here is the translated text:

Arindel had no choice but to go street sweeping with Cohen.

The Supreme’s carpet-style search was truly terrifying; not only was it effective, but it also brought immense pressure.

After roughly identifying some suspects, they assigned others to capture and interrogate them.

The Supreme would not act personally, not only to preserve their dignity but also to retain enough combat power, ready for a big fight.

After all, the opponent is known for being brutally ruthless.

Qu Jianlei chose the place to hide, which was the Pearl Forest Sea where he had previously taken shelter.

The water, wood, and earth elements here are very abundant; he felt he could evade the opponent’s search.

The two Supremes quickly searched the area, uncovering seven secret hideouts and two possible suspects without suspense.

As expected, more than one Awakened thought this was a good place to hide.

However, the Supreme did not find Qu Jianlei; later, the Patrol Guard and City Guard apprehended and seized things that had nothing to do with him.

After all, he used the wood attribute’s affinity, and all the wood attribute Awakened here refused to participate in the search.

What a joke, the opponent possibly has a wood attribute exclusive poison, and you want us to go die?

Anyway, in the Pearl Forest Sea, the water attribute and earth attribute can also fully exert themselves, so we won’t participate.

Qu Jianlei finally passed this hurdle thrillingly.

When he went out of the forest again to inquire, he learned that under the guidance of the two Supremes, the authorities had already captured over three hundred fugitives.

In addition, they uncovered more than a hundred secret vaults.

This achievement was so astonishing that besides the City Guard and Patrol Guard, even the military reserve was dispatched to apprehend people.

However, the military remained reserved; they are responsible for combat and won’t participate without an official request.

Even so, having captured so many fugitives, everyone was in a festive mood.

Having tasted success, people eagerly expressed hoping the two Supremes would stay in Jiuchuan for a few more days.

The higher-ups of the Jiuchuan Government were a bit reluctant: Doesn’t this imply poor management, turning this place into a haven for evildoers?

Yet someone argued: This was once a Central City; we must ensure residents live and work in peace and prosperity, with flourishing trade.

There were even consortiums and companies posting bounties for Panda and fugitives to please the Divine Text Association.

If only one or two families increased bounties, it would be fine, but too many were piling glory upon glory.

Even ordinary fugitives’ bounties soared to astounding levels, and as for Panda... his worth nearly hit five million.

Qu Jianlei, upon hearing this, was truly furious: Have I provoked or offended you?

He planned to make a note of these overstuffed fellows: Adults’ games, children shouldn’t meddle!

Perhaps showing some color to the two most active ones could serve as a warning to others?

But with this, he’d have more opponents...

He couldn’t decide for a moment and reached out to Earth Scholar for some advice.

However, he couldn’t reach the first contact, and the second one... still didn’t work.

He instinctively felt something was amiss and quickly contacted Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu provided the answer: Since Cohen from the Divine Text Association arrived, the situation took a dramatic turn.

The Earth Scholar organization didn’t anticipate such a severe impact and could only hide hastily for a while to avoid the heat.

They wanted to notify Qu Jianlei, but unfortunately couldn’t reach him and had to rely on Aunt Liu to relay the message.

Even the Earth Scholar had shrunk? Qu Jianlei was a bit puzzled but finally stated.

”Alright, as long as they’re safe, that’s the best news. You all should also be careful to protect yourselves.”

Aunt Liu agreed, hesitated, and added, ”I suggest you also lay low, the opponent is powerful!”

Had it been any other day, Qu Jianlei would certainly have listened; after all, stealth development was long accustomed.

But this time, he was somewhat indignant, especially by those arbitrarily offering bounties, causing him considerable anger.

Additionally, he had high expectations of Earth Scholar, and now the latter had shrunk without even forewarning him.

Of course, he understood they couldn’t reach him and could sympathize with their choice.

Yet, he was just dissatisfied; when weak he had to hide, even at A-level he had to hide...

Especially since he had been very low-key and didn’t want to provoke anyone but was repeatedly troubled, each instance harsher than the last.

”I have my measure. If everyone keeps shrinking, won’t we be trampled in the future?”

Aunt Liu grew anxious, ”Panda, don’t be impulsive... I remember you’re not that kind of person.”

Qu Jianlei silently disconnected the communication, muttering, ”Being genuine occasionally isn’t excessive, right?”

At this moment, he felt a gaze projecting from outside the window; it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

He didn’t pay much attention, packed up the Pioneer Terminal, and left the tea shop.

However, he hadn’t walked fifty meters when he heard someone speaking behind him.

”Is this the City Guard? I found someone whose behavior is suspicious...”

(Happy New Year’s Eve.)
