Lynx stood up and slowly walked toward Jiang Nan.
His heart raced with nervousness.
She’s not going to beat me up in a fit of embarrassment, is she?
But Lynx only gave him a fleeting glance.
She said to the female Dark Night soldier, “Take him for a blood draw, then send him back.”
Jiang Nan: ???
No way.
You went through all this trouble to bring me here.
Just to knock me out and take advantage of me?
What about the promised lunch?
What about the little medal?
You know my little secret.
You have to take responsibility.
Don’t freeload.
Jiang Nan, full of resentment, finished the blood draw and was shoved back into the vehicle.
This time, Lynx didn’t escort him personally.
The female Dark Night soldier did.
In the vehicle, Jiang Nan looked aggrieved.
Mainly because he didn’t get any food.
“Little sister, what’s your name? Is working in the Dark Night Legion tiring? Do you get social insurance and housing funds?”
[Resentment points from An Ning +666.]
Social insurance and housing funds?
Are you serious?
An Ning looked at Jiang Nan helplessly. In all her years, she’d never met someone so cheeky.
But recalling the earlier scene, her face flushed slightly.
“Want to… add me on WeChat?”
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up.
There’s a chance?
“Add. Why wouldn’t I? I love classy sisters like you. I feel so safe around you.”
…
At the military base, Lynx held Jiang Nan’s blood test report, a rare smile on her face.
The male Dark Night soldier asked, puzzled, “Just letting him go like that?”
“The Blood Burn reagent was clearly injected into him and successfully integrated.”
“That viper will definitely come back for Jiang Nan. Leaving him be could be dangerous.”
Lynx said, “Danger? He’s sharp.”
“Taking him from under our noses is a pipe dream.”
“To take him, they’d need a large-scale operation.”
The male soldier’s eyes brightened, “Captain, you’re casting a long line to catch a big fish?”
Lynx narrowed her eyes, “Fishing is secondary. What I really want is the bait.”
“Encrypt Jiang Nan’s file. No access below school level.”
She tossed him the tablet.
He glanced at it and gasped.
Name: Jiang Nan
Age: 18
Ability: Spatial. Strength? (Uncertain) Extremely strong physique.
Talent: SSS+ (Unprecedented in history, undefined)
Cultivation: Black Iron 10 Stars.
Successfully fused Blood Burn reagent. Reason unknown.
Now he understood why Lynx valued Jiang Nan so much.
This talent was freakish.
…
At school, during the afternoon break exercises, Jiang Nan got out of the military vehicle.
An Ning smiled and waved goodbye.
The whole school noticed.
They were shocked.
“No way. Am I seeing things? The Dark Night Legion personally sent Nan God back? And with such a good attitude?”
“Taken away in handcuffs and a hood, yet he returns unscathed?”
“Did he really go to assist the investigation?”
“Badass. That’s the Dark Night Legion.”
“We’re here doing radio exercises, while Nan God’s off visiting the Dark Night Legion? Man, that’s infuriating.”
Back in class, Li Xiang and Liu Quanwu’s faces were grim.
They’d said he was done for this morning, yet Jiang Nan returned in the afternoon, escorted back personally.
A resounding slap in the face.
Jiang Nan looked melancholic.
In the vehicle, despite his sweet-talk offensive, he couldn’t pry any useful info from An Ning.
As expected from someone professionally trained.
But he did get the Dark Night Legion’s phone number.
A crowd gathered around Jiang Nan’s desk.
They asked, “Nan God, what did they want you for? Assisting the case?”
“Where’s their base? Near Zhuque Mountain?”
Jiang Nan said seriously, “They called me to taste the cafeteria food.”
Classmates: ???
Come on.
That’s so half-hearted.
[Resentment points from Wang Yiping +666.]
[Resentment points from Zhou Hongfeng +888.]
[Resentment points from…]
“Nan God, stop hiding. Tell us a bit. We won’t tell anyone.”
“Don’t make it hard for him. Maybe he signed a confidentiality agreement.”
Jiang Nan shrugged, “They called me, knocked me out, took advantage of me, and sent me back.”
A classmate said, “Nan God, give it a rest. You’re skinny as a monkey, ribs like a washboard. What advantage?”
A female classmate blushed, “I… I’d like to take a look.”
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes.
See?
I’m telling the truth.
Why does no one believe me?
Problem is, even I don’t believe it.
What’s the Dark Night Legion up to?
Grabbing me just to check my little secret?
Li Xiang said snidely, “Hmph. Stop asking. Who knows what happened?”
Jiang Nan smiled, “Some things I can’t say.”
“But they got word that someone in the armed police leaked info, affecting the mission. They’re investigating.”
Li Xiang’s face paled instantly.
Even if he didn’t fully believe Jiang Nan, what if?
He panicked and soon stepped out to make a call.
The classmates didn’t dare ask more.
Saving people in the fire and the Dark Night Legion incident made Jiang Nan’s image even more mysterious.
After school, Jiang Nan walked home.
His phone rang.
A video call from “Wolf Extinction.”
He accepted.
The screen showed a breathtakingly beautiful face.
Like a fairy descended from the heavens, flawless and untouchable.
Who else but Zhong Yingxue?
“Xiao Nan, Xiao Yao’s been bugging me all day. She wants candy too.”
Xia Yao rushed over, hands rubbing Zhong Yingxue’s face.
“Look at her. How gorgeous is she?”
“Xiao Nan, I want candy.”
“I’m telling you, Xiao Xue’s in my hands. No candy, I’ll tear the ticket.”
Zhong Yingxue asked curiously, “Xiao Nan, where’d you get that Big White Rabbit candy? I… feel like I got prettier after eating it.”
Xia Yao growled, “Prettier? A billion times prettier.”
“I don’t care. I want to be pretty too.”
Jiang Nan pouted, “No, no, no way, bleh
