Chapter 2492: Chapter 2487: Knowing Your Place

Always sharing without expecting anything in return can actually be intimidating.

If you want the other person to trust the information you provide more, it’s best to not appear too detached.

In Fu Qian’s view, the way the Greedy Worms invited him awkwardly suggests, as mentioned before, that their motive is likely about the disappearance of Selana.

After all, showing up voluntarily when they’re well-hidden, and even risking dealing with a mysterious organization, is hard to imagine unless they’re truly desperate.

And currently, what else could make them desperate?

Of course, their presence in Moore is probably not just for the simple purpose of tracking Selana’s whereabouts.

After all, given that the latter holds certain information on them and has a steady upper hand in ranking, logically she should be more proactive in this chase game, yet she’s only done this much.

Comparatively, Fu Qian leans towards Selana’s perspective that the Greedy Worms are hired and serving as thugs in the conflict between groups.

As for which side specifically, considering Ji Yin’s involvement in the recent assassination attempt against the Siren leader wasn’t long ago, continuing to work for Yasui seems more likely.

Otherwise, this back-and-forth would be too erratic.

And precisely because of this consideration, after some casual conversation, Fu Qian bluntly showed interest in the Siren, even hinting that the Greedy Worms might provide some value on this front.

Not a mentally unstable eccentric, just a scheming conspirator using this as a disguise, believing this truth might even reassure Laurie and the others.

”Sorondir... is indeed looking for something.”

As expected, under Fu Qian’s intense gaze, Laurie finally took a deep breath and stepped into the role.

”Actually, he’s been searching for a long time, but recently he became suddenly active, as for what exactly it is...”

Not only that, but he even seemed to understand the past and present context, his tone pausing during the sharing.

”I’m not sure what exactly it is, but it’s said that Sorondir once saw his opportunity for promotion here in Moore.

”It’s just that the opportunity is so elusive that over the years, he’s become somewhat irritable.”

...

Promotion opportunity? This does sound about right.

Although the target is still unclear, Laurie’s explanation seemed quite reasonable to Fu Qian.

The conflict between the Siren and Yasui has reached a fever pitch, yet a Demigod-level player ran to such a remote place like Moore to ”surf”?

Just thinking about it makes it seem ridiculous.

This is no longer about respecting individual wishes; without a plausible reason, it amounts to desertion.

But if it’s a crucial promotion opportunity... while it sounds a bit selfish, for an organization, it’s something to weigh the pros and cons.

If a new Second Phase indeed emerges, it could wildly tip the scales of the situation.

Considering this, if Yasui took action upon hearing the news, it would be normal; they certainly wouldn’t want such a situation to occur.

But this way... Has Laurie and his group been sent to stop it?

Isn’t Yasui too bold, underestimating a Demigod so much?

You’d think Laurie and his group wouldn’t dare to such an extent; surely there’s more hidden under the surface.

”It’s understandable that the path is there, yet always unattainable, it’s indeed a torment.”

Quickly organizing the current information, Fu Qian felt that the entire situation in Moore seemed to be clearing up.

Sure enough, it’s lively, especially with the mysterious disappearance of Selana returning to reap the harvest seemed more and more worthwhile.

”Does Your Excellency know who we are?”

As the conversation grew more harmonious, the inviter seemed to have made some determination and finally asked a crucial question.

...

No wonder he’s the spokesperson, very composed.

At that moment, Fu Qian acknowledged it was not easy for Laurie to hold back this long before asking.

A group of troublemakers trying to survive in the cracks, even participating in a conflict that could obliterate them easily, it’s hard not to be tense.

Especially as Fu Qian’s ”sinister intentions” gradually became clear, the nature of the previous exchanges shifted from the Greedy Worms’ probing and utilizing into falling into a pre-set trap.

”I do. Although that lady changed her appearance a little, I still recognized her.”

And for this anxiety, Fu Qian gave no room for wishful thinking, nodding directly.

Uh... her?

Laurie and his companion exchanged another glance, their emotions seemed complex.

The fact that they were the ones being schemed against was certainly disheartening, but they had somewhat prepared for it; it’s just that the exposed person...

”I thought Your Excellency recognized me.”

When he spoke again, Laurie almost shook his head with a bit of self-deprecation.

”That’s certainly also the case, after all, you’re quite honest on that front.”

Unfortunately, these little machinations were all too understandable to Fu Qian, who continued emotionlessly.

...

Of course, it wasn’t that he forgot to wear a human skin mask or anything; Laurie is a cautious character, and this seemingly reckless behavior was deliberate.

From Fu Qian’s perspective, the reason why the other party was bare-faced was almost certainly a test of some kind.

From this point, it’s even likely Laurie was the one in contact with Old Master Lu among the swarm.

Suspecting his identity, Laurie was quietly observing Fu Qian’s reactions in this way.

Unfortunately, sometimes a strike from a higher dimension is just that cruel.

Knowing Fangthroat Lay Buddhist’s face is fake might be a guess, but coupled with knowing Laurie’s face isn’t fake, it almost obliterates any hopeful delusions.

”The Rebirth Club’s achievements today prove it’s no accident!”

And this showcases what is meant by perspective.

As the situation gradually turned passive, Brother Shu Lan’s expression had already stiffened like a stone, even a sense of irrational impulse seemed to be brewing.

In contrast, at that moment Mr. Laurie Sr. sighed deeply, seemingly acknowledging the exceptional nature of the Rebirth Club.

”We’re not entitled to ask Your Excellency’s name or purpose, but we wonder if there’s any interest in collaborating with us, jointly investigating the specific objective of the Siren?

”I believe we can still offer some valuable information.”

To Fu Qian’s eyesight, Laurie seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment, immediately agreeing with a smile.
