Chapter 109: Prophet Reserves
Chapter 109: Prophet Reserves
Surviving the ordeal, everyone reaped a bountiful harvest, and all were in high spirits.Marcus was certainly envious, but fortunately, he had also earned 500 merit points this time. He had never been so wealthy in his life. He sat quietly with a cup of coffee, alone at his seat, wanting to savor the feeling of being a "rich man" a little longer.
Suddenly, a voice from beside him startled him out of his pleasant daydream. "Boss, how much did you get? Is it enough to pay me back?"
Marcus silently put down his coffee and got up to walk outside. Silver Eagle called out to him, "Boss, what’s wrong?"
Marcus gestured to his ears with his fingers. "I suddenly can’t hear anymore. I think it might be some internal injury. I need to go see a doctor for another check-up."
Then he pulled the door open and left.
Chen Gu was left speechless.
「」
After work, Chen Gu called Gorilla, and they agreed to meet at Gorilla’s place.
The well-known music producer had a lucrative income. Gao Mengjiu lived in a luxurious apartment on a sky island in the city center, covering 400 square meters.
As soon as Chen Gu walked in, he fiercely flipped Gorilla the bird and then aimed a kick at him. "You son of a bitch, hiding such a big secret from your dad! You wanna die, is that it?"
Gorilla responded unceremoniously with his own fists and feet. "You unfilial son! How did you go from a criminal to a special agent of the Bureau of Mystic Security and even become a Professional?"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Neither of them used any abilities, just raw physical strength. They fought back and forth until both were bruised and swollen. Gradually, Chen Gu realized... Damn it, I can’t beat Gorilla in this kind of fight?
Without using abilities, in a pure brawl, his "Ancient Martial Arts Big Nine Styles" couldn’t beat an experienced turncoat from True Knowledge Sin.
Seeing things were not going his way, Chen Gu immediately called a halt. "Alright, stop the nonsense! I came here to ask you something!"
Gorilla lifted his fist. "We fight when you say fight, and stop when you say stop? Who do you think you are, my old man for real?"
"Exactly!" Chen Gu said, his eyes crinkling with amusement. Gorilla, greatly annoyed by his own slip of the tongue, smashed a punch over.
Chen Gu said angrily, "Do you want to see Qiao Ayin ever again or not?!"
Gorilla immediately deflated, his whole body slumping. "Fine. What do you want to ask."
"What is your profession? And what exactly is your identity? Why did True Knowledge Sin come after you guys?"
Gorilla sighed. There wasn’t much point in hiding it now. "I am a Resonance Council Celebrity. Of course, a rookie special agent like you might not have heard of such an exalted profession. You can go back and ask your seniors..."
Chen Gu flared up. "I just saved your life!"
Gorilla was dismissive. "Then don’t save me. I didn’t ask you to."
Chen Gu truly felt helpless. The relationship between men could indeed reach such a ridiculous level of camaraderie where boundaries blurred.
"Qiao Ayin!" Chen Gu roared again.
Gorilla conceded. "Benefactor! In my next life, I’ll repay your kindness, even if it means toiling like an ox or a horse for you!"
"Hmph!" Chen Gu said, putting on an air of arrogance.
"True Knowledge Sin... has changed. It’s no longer the Holy Church of our time," Gorilla sighed, his voice filled with endless regret.
"The True Knowledge Sin I believed in over forty years ago has become a tool for lunatics and the power-hungry. It no longer leads people to goodness or helps them see the true nature of the world. Instead, it has turned into a criminal organization that stops at nothing to achieve its goals under the guise of faith."
"I became a Professional within True Knowledge Sin, but I left the organization thirty-seven years ago."
Chen Gu noticed a detail and asked in surprise, "You became a Professional in True Knowledge Sin? That means True Knowledge Sin has a Generator?"
This was no small matter. It meant that True Knowledge Sin could produce its own Professionals. work.
Indeed, there was a peculiar ranking, with Gao Mengjiu at the top of the "New Female Singers’ Most Desired Man to Sleep With" list!
Gorilla gave a bitter smile. "I’ll take it... as a recognition of my creative abilities and influence within the industry, I guess."
Chen Gu smiled. The two sat side by side in silence for a while.
After a moment, Chen Gu began to rummage around Gorilla’s house and quickly found a bottle of fine liquor. Gorilla protested, "You’re still a student..."
Chen Gu ignored him and brought over two glasses. While they were drinking, Chen Gu asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"I haven’t thought it through yet."
"Have you considered collaborating with the Bureau of Mystic Security?"
Gorilla hesitated for a moment. "After this, I will seriously consider it."
Chen Gu nodded and continued drinking, not pressing him further.
