Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 369 - : Artificial Eye (Part 2)_1

Chapter 369 -369: Artificial Eye (Part 2)_1

The multi-colored long hair, exaggerated eyeshadow, dark red lips.

The newcomer, though not tall, had the unmistakable look of a rebellious girl, providing a sharp contrast to Li Min inside the car.

Despite the flashy appearance, Fu Qian bet she was only a few years older than him.

“You’re here!”

The bad girl glanced twice into the car and, upon seeing Li Min, displayed a genuine smile.

“Rachel, you came!”

Li Min nodded slightly at her arrival.

“Yeah, I rushed over as soon as I got your message, because if you really were taken back to the police station, even I would have some trouble if I took action.”

The one called Rachel initially bounded up with excitement, but upon seeing Fu Qian behind her, she visibly recoiled in surprise.

“Why is there another one?”

“Mr. Fu Qian, a business traveler, said he was here on a business trip,” Li Min replied, turning to look at Fu Qian and coldly repeating what he had just said.

“And he encountered the same situation as me.”

Business traveler…

Rachel looked confused, and her gaze toward Fu Qian became guarded.

“He is lying! How could an ordinary person remain conscious after the impact just now!”

“It’s okay, he had no obligation to tell us anyway.”

Li Min signaled for Rachel not to worry and then turned to look at Fu Qian.

“Mr. Fu wouldn’t stop us from leaving, right?”

“Please feel free.”

Fu Qian still maintained the posture he had been forced into, with his handcuffed hands solemnly placed on his chest, the very image of a good citizen.

In this moment, with that demeanor, one might even think that even if the two police officers were incapacitated, he would drive himself to the police station, possessing top-notch self-management awareness.

Of course, these were all illusions; Fu Qian indeed had no interest in acting the hero.

From the conversation, it was clear that Rachel was an old acquaintance of Li Min’s and had come to rescue her upon hearing of her arrest.

As for why Li Min didn’t take action herself?

Fu Qian understood that she clearly preferred to keep a low profile, and her powers were likely too flamboyant, prone to causing a big scene that would be difficult to resolve.

But Rachel was different. That kind of spiritual shock from earlier was perfectly suited for a prison break.

And realizing this, Fu Qian didn’t try to insult the intelligence of others by pretending to faint like the two police officers.

Under the circumstances where Li Min was suspicious of him, doing so would have only caused more trouble. It was easier to deal with the situation with his current attitude.

“Thank you, then. Let’s go.”

Although she received an affirmative reply from Fu Qian, Li Min’s wariness did not diminish in the slightest; she simply spoke to Rachel.

Yeah!

Rachel too stared at Fu Qian, her expression somewhat hostile.

Clearly, unlike Li Min, she didn’t care to hide her emotions.

And Li Min’s words had done nothing to alleviate her concerns.

In fact, in the next moment, Fu Qian’s mind stirred, and he felt another shock penetrate his consciousness.

Compared to the previous area of effect, this shock was undoubtedly more targeted, specifically at him.

The focused spiritual shock had greatly increased in penetration power.

Fu Qian could confirm that, without specific defenses, an average Middle Tier Transcendent would probably be unable to resist its effects.

Unfortunately for the attacker, to the current him, this wasn’t even like a breeze brushing his face.

“How can there be no reaction at all!”

Rachel obviously did not expect such a result, her muttering revealing a strong sense of self-doubt.

“Don’t be surprised. As an office worker who leaves early and returns late, commutes by public transport, and endures the pressure of KPIs, having a slightly stronger mental resistance is normal, right?”

Fu Qian adjusted his tie with his handcuffed hands, sitting upright, the epitome of a corporate elite.

…

Rachel was stunned for several seconds before she realized what Fu Qian was talking about.

Unfortunately, even after her brain had finished processing, she found herself at a loss for words.

In fact, she didn’t need to respond.

The next moment, Mr. Fu Qian’s smile was profound, his aura locking onto her.

Hmm…

An unprecedented fear of death instantly filled Rachel’s consciousness.

“Please wait a moment!”

Almost at the same time, Li Min’s somewhat anxious voice came through.

Throughout it all, even though she was a prisoner, she had maintained an air of grace and composure. However, now she had leaped up.

With half her body blocking between Mr. Fu Qian and Rachel, Li Min was now certain that her earlier feeling was correct.

The person before her was not just a Transcendent but extremely dangerous.

Although she didn’t understand why someone like that would surrender willingly, Rachel’s earlier probe was undoubtedly too reckless.

“Rachel’s actions just now were very impolite, and I apologize to you on her behalf,”

Li Min looked directly at Mr. Fu Qian, her tone extremely serious.

“Where are we?”

After hearing her apology, Mr. Fu Qian asked a question in return.

“…What do you mean?”

Li Min was clearly confused by the question.

“If apologies were effective, what would be the need for police?”

Mr. Fu Qian pointed ahead.

“Although those two are somewhat weak, the principle is still correct. And, considering someone just got hurt a moment ago—”

Mr. Fu Qian moved his handcuffed hands.

“I’m going to be somewhat impolite next, please be prepared mentally.”

“I’m really sorry, we didn’t mean that!”

Li Min swallowed nervously, and ultimately chose not to take action, but to earnestly apologize again.

Even to show sincerity, she kept her hands in front of her, not making any movements that could be misinterpreted.

“Today’s incident was totally accidental, and although I know you most likely don’t need it, Rachel’s actions just now did in fact reduce some trouble for you, right?”

“That does make some sense when you put it that way,”

Mr. Fu Qian nodded, stroking his chin.

Whew!

Li Min slightly relaxed.

“So could you please overlook Rachel’s offense on that account?”

“No need, because I’ve already returned the favor, and now we’re even,”

Mr. Fu Qian looked at Rachel with a smile, sensing her stiff body, clearly frightened.

“I am a reasonable person, she used a mental shock on me, and I repaid with a scare, that’s fair, right?”

This guy was scaring Rachel just now?

Li Min was speechless and, although relieved, deeply felt the maliciousness of the man before her.

“…shall we go then?”

“By all means.”

Watching the two leave, Mr. Fu Qian withdrew his gaze and looked inside the vehicle.

It seemed rare pleasures were short-lived, and judging by the unexpected occurrences from the start, this task was likely to be troublesome.

Shouldn’t the target of the mission be arriving about now?

[Current task updated, deliver the documents safely to XJ Cargo Company before midnight]

…

As he contemplated, the voice in his mind appeared just in time.

But this content…

Facing a mental shock that didn’t even breach his defenses, Mr. Fu Qian now furrowed his brows, unable to help pulling out the business card from earlier again.

Could it really be a prophecy, about to become a genuine business traveler?
