Strange Cards

Chapter 415 I'm quitting

Qi Wu looked in the direction from which the voice came and found it was Kong Xiangyun, who was recovering from serious injuries.

The last time Shigure spared his life, but his injuries were quite severe.

Kong Xiangyun lost three of his limbs; only his right hand remained intact, while the rest had long since been replaced with mechanical arms.

The wounds on his body were countless, and it was unknown how long Kong Xiangyun recuperated before he regained the ability to take care of himself.

Kong Xiangyun glared at Qi Wu, spitting as he cursed.

"Look at the man you brought out! Qi Wu!"

"One betrayed us more than a decade ago, and now another one has betrayed us."

"What? You can't raise good people there, can you?"

Qi Wu remained calm and looked at Kong Xiangyun with a mocking expression.

"Oh my, my Kong Erlengzi!"

"You should make an anime called 'My Next Life as a Robot'."

"Having only one original arm must feel uncomfortable, right?"

Qi Wu's sharp tongue would be a disservice to his title of "Master Strategist," as he's an expert at rubbing salt into wounds.

Qi Wu's three short sentences broke Kong Xiangyun's defenses, and Kong Xiangyun visibly blushed.

Qi Wu preemptively used his access privileges to mute Kong Xiangyun's microphone, then picked at his ear and said...

"I don't care about this or that, anyway, our Southern Base still has the Mysterious Token."

"I still have five Red Heart cards. If I distribute them, my people in the Southern Base will have no problem maintaining their fighting strength."

"I'm not like you, getting beaten up and forced to replace parts."

At this moment, Kong Xiangyun finally turned on his microphone, completely losing his composure.

"Qi Wu! I'll fuck your mother!"

"You fucking..."

Before Kong Xiangyun could finish speaking, Feng Chuan slammed his fist on the table in anger and forcibly shut down Kong Xiangyun's microphone.

"Kong Xiangyun! You better watch yourself!"

"Fengchuan, you horse...."

What followed was a series of extremely vulgar curses from Kong Xiangyun, but Qi Wu seemed not to hear them at all, and even lit a cigar for himself.

Feng Chuan ignored him, turned off his receiver, and coldly stared at the now-out-of-control headhunter from the north.

One of the reasons Kong Xiangyun lost his composure was because of Shi Yu, who single-handedly shattered his proud backbone.

But putting aside his current severely injured body, he was no match for Shigure even in the past.

Kong Xiangyun couldn't defeat Shi Yu, so he turned all his anger on Qi Wu, a headhunter in the south.

After listening, Qi Wu coldly slammed the five red heart-shaped cards on the table, then took out his Vermilion Bird Token.

"You're awesome, you're amazing."

"From now on, the task of fighting those ghosts will be entrusted to you. Here are these strange cards and the Vermilion Bird Token for you."

"I quit, whatever."

"I want to see if Xiaoyu will still have any concerns after I leave."

Do you think Xiaoyu would dare to draw her knife against you?

"Qi Wu! Are you also going to defect?"

Qian Miao looked at Qi Wu with a worried expression. As one of the Five Hunters, they knew that Qi Wu possessed a great deal of top-secret intelligence.

If Qi Wu develops disloyal intentions, the blow to the hunters will be far greater than if Shi Yu defected.

Leng Miaoling stared coldly at Qi Wu, while Qi Wu shrugged indifferently.

"Who said I was going to defect?"

"Since this idiot is so capable, let them just send anyone to take my position as a headhunter in the south. Wouldn't it be better for me to take my wife and daughter back to my in-laws' house and live a quiet life?"

"I quit, I'm resigning."

"It wasn't that I had to beg and plead with Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu was only doing it because of me."

"You really think he wouldn't dare to kill you, right? You idiot, who do you think you are?"

"I can say with my hand on my chest that Shiyu has never killed a single hunter because of me. Once I'm not around, see if he dares to kill me."

"Xiaoyu still had a lot of grievances against the Northern Base because of Liu An's matter. Once I leave, your Northern Base is doomed."

"Bye-bye, I'm not serving you anymore."

As Qi Wu turned to hang up the call, Feng Chuan spoke up just as he was about to leave.

"Qi Wu"

Are you really leaving?

Qi Wu turned his head and looked at Feng Chuan.

"What else?"

"That bastard has been annoying me all along, and I don't feel comfortable working with him."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Qi Wu extinguished his cigar and took out the Xie Zhi token.

"I'll use two tokens to ban all the technology from your northern base that's being sent out from our southern base."

"I'd like to see how much fighting power you have left without the remnant fire mechs provided by Xiaoyu!"

"Xiaoyu has left the Hunters, that's right."

"But his achievements in the Hunters far surpass those of you, Kong Erlengzi. You, Kong Erlengzi, can't even come close to him."

"That's a kid who came from my hands, after all. I won't allow you to insult him."

"that's all."

Qi Wu hung up the call and sat down in the conference room, gently tapping his fingers.

Da Niu and Yu Yan, who were attending the meeting, left the meeting room one after another, as did Ji Xuan and the others.

"Boss, are you really leaving?"

Yu Yan looked at Qi Wu with her big, watery eyes, as if she would burst into tears if Qi Wu said the word "leave".

Qi Wu grinned and reached out his big hand to roughly rub Yu Yan's head.

"Silly girl, how could your boss possibly leave over something so trivial?"

"That Kong Erlengzi is already a dead man, I'm not going to argue with a dead man."

"I said that just to annoy him, and see if he ever brings it up again or not."

"And that old guy is almost a cyborg now. If I take a miniature electromagnetic pulse and give him a good whack, he'll be crippled immediately."

"Alright, that's enough. You guys get some rest."

Here, take it.

As Qi Wu spoke, he distributed all five Hearts in his hand, keeping only the King of Hearts for himself.

"This year's events could be very fierce; it's already mid-July."

"At most a week, then the gates of hell will open again."

"Everyone, train hard and try to improve your skills as much as possible."

"To survive."

"You have to survive, you understand?"

Seeing that Yu Yan had been assigned the Ace of Hearts, Qi Wu patted her head and then strode out of the conference room.

……

Night falls, and the city lights begin to twinkle.

By mid-July, the weather had already become quite muggy, and even at night, it was only slightly cooler.

Shigure sat on the sunrise mountain, holding two dolls in her hands, leaning against a tree, gently squeezing them.

I love you

I love you

Hearing the two female voices, each with a different timbre but enough to evoke Shigure's memories, Shigure felt completely relaxed.
