Buckingham and Nelson surrendered, and Optimus was stunned for a moment before speaking coldly.

"Exclusive poison... did you develop this?"

"Am I giving you face?" Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, answering with a question, "Are you sure you want to be our enemy?"

His impression of Optimus was similar to that of Chi Yang; he didn’t want to make a move against him, but if he was blind to the situation, killing him wouldn’t be a problem.

This guy should know about Chi Yang’s fate. If he still wants to act imperiously, then he’s clearly not valuing his own life.

Just as Qu Jianlei thought, Optimus’s reaction at this moment was indeed to try and maintain his dignity.

It wasn’t that he was deliberately putting on airs; after guarding for so long, some reactions were simply instinctive. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

— If the Guardian Supreme constantly went soft, would people even respect this planet?

But after hearing Qu Jianlei’s words, Optimus finally realized: my attitude is problematic!

Not to mention, just in this instant, two Supreme opponents, Silver Bear and Coldface, were taken down, and they were not opponents he could fight.

The key point is... another focus: in the opposing team, there’s at least one more Supreme!

And on his side? Two Supremes were knocked out, the other two were obviously standing by, with only him still holding on!

At this moment, there’s really no room for hesitation!

Optimus answered in a deep voice, "I’m responsible for guarding this planet, there’s no intention to be your enemy, but you on this planet..."

"Shut up!" The opposing side interrupted him rudely, and then a figure floated over eerily.

The figure was draped in Golden Armor, yet it didn’t affect his movement at all.

The newcomer ignored the three of them and drew a dull gray waist knife, raising it to strike Coldface.

"Stop!" Optimus couldn’t hold back and shouted.

After all, he was the planet’s guardian, and watching a Supreme being killed right in front of him is something he could not face calmly.

Not to mention, this Supreme was from the Anomalous Management Division—such a tragedy would definitely stir up a bloody storm!

"So troublesome!" Qu Jianlei unhesitatingly unleashed a spiritual attack, lightning-fast.

Optimus groaned, his body trembled slightly, and he began to fall softly towards the ground.

Before losing consciousness, his last thought was: Finally, it’s my turn. At least there’s closure...

Seeing this, Nelson hurriedly said, "Sir, Optimus meant no harm, just a guardian... likes to meddle."

Qu Jianlei glanced at him without saying more, raised his knife, and directly divided Coldface into halves... vertically.

Then he went on to slay Silver Bear, and Nelson couldn’t help exchanging a glance with Buckingham.

This guy is really fierce, not only daring to kill a Supreme from the Anomalous Management Division but also simultaneously offending the Divine Text Association!

Honestly, this scene left the two slightly dazed: the last time they heard of such an arrogant team, when was it?

The Divine Text Association closely cooperating with the Anomalous Management Division indeed deserves punishment, but is it necessary to kill?

The two even felt that the opponent might be somewhat deranged.

Either way, as long as they didn’t make a move against them, that’s a blessing.

After slaying the two, Qu Jianlei skillfully searched the corpses, unexpectedly finding a Storage Ring on Silver Bear.

You can imagine, people from the Divine Text Association are wealthy, which is something even the Anomalous Management Division’s Supreme can’t compare with.

Qu Jianlei only harvested three Storage Talismans and felt a bit dissatisfied, then moved forward to search Optimus’s body.

Against Chi Yang, he hadn’t seized the opposing party’s Storage Talismans, but who’s to blame for this guy being so clueless?

Buckingham and Nelson exchanged another glance, both filled with helplessness: this guy really doesn’t regard us either.

Qu Jianlei only found one Storage Talisman on Optimus—most of his wealth seemed to be in his residence.

However, he discovered a small secret: this Guardian Supreme’s aura... it’s uncertain if he’s truly unconscious!

But it didn’t matter; after pocketing the Storage Talisman, he kicked him in passing, "Poor devil!"

After speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared just as mysteriously as he came.

"This..." Buckingham raised his eyebrows, feeling the Body Technique seemed familiar, "Wind Attribute Body Technique?"

"Still dwelling on that?" Nelson muttered, "Hurry and wake Optimus up."

Last time, Buckingham was plotted against by the Customs Enforcement Division, and Optimus intervened. This guardian being so disrespectful, he felt some resentment too.

"You wake him up; I’ll go check on Coldface’s team."

As previously mentioned, Coldface came to Celestial Sharp with a team.

But this time attending the feast, he only brought two B-levels, one was his assistant, the other his aide.

Invited Silver Bear also brought a Wood Attribute A-level.

However, all these people were slain on the spot, and later inspections showed the Wood Attribute A-level was indeed hit by the exclusive poison.

Next moment, Nelson also flashed over, "The Guardian is awake, resting a bit... ouch, really so ruthless?"

Optimus was dazed for about half a minute, then sent an emergency communication, reporting that something had happened here.

His greatest worry was about the two Supremes who hadn’t come to the banquet. He hoped they wouldn’t encounter another attack.

His reaction was very competent, but from Qu Jianlei’s perspective, snatching this scoundrel’s Storage Talisman was truly deserved!

Going back in time a little, those two Supremes were originally at the military’s reception.

One of them was from a military background, closely associated with the Military Region, and living in the Military Region, so there was no worry of being ambushed.

The other Supreme was accompanying him for a military engagement.

Qu Jianlei had investigated their tracks, and felt the difficulty of making a move was quite high, so he didn’t take action.

He feared alerting the enemy, and those two Supremes, backed by powerful allies, weren’t worth his careful consideration. Capturing the main conflict is more important.

However, during the lurking process, that non-military Supreme unexpectedly left the Military Region after the banquet.

Through monitoring the opponent’s watch, Little Lake found out that this person had made arrangements with someone and wanted to go out for fun.

Such opportunities of finding someone alone are rare, and it should be easy to assassinate them.

But Qu Jianlei thought that their side had been ambushing for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike, so he didn’t complicate matters.

In the end, the main task is the priority; the other is just an add-on.

However, after killing the two Supremes, the solitary Supreme became his target.

Qu Jianlei didn’t want to offend neutral forces, but that scoundrel’s behavior was far from neutral; it was an outright provocation against him.

For such a person, he certainly didn’t mind killing one to warn hundreds, letting those who recklessly get involved weigh their options carefully.

Those who don’t understand can look at Buckingham and Nelson; these two stayed objectively out of the fray and weren’t attacked.

However, that Supreme’s location was relatively distant, requiring some time to travel.

But clearly, this wasn’t the time to conserve Inner Breath; he had to seize the gap and strike hard, teaching a lesson to the latecomers.

Fortunately, there was also good news. After the Supreme left the Military Region, he surprisingly stored away his watch, with no signal emitted.

This was likely because he wanted to indulge without disturbance from others, but unintentionally provided an opening for the enemy.

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but sigh: At such a critical moment, this guy still doesn’t forget indulging in pleasures, truly seeking his own doom.

However, this also showed that after the Divine Text Association and Anomalous Management Division teamed up, not only did the Supremes of both sides expand,

Even the Supremes collaborating with them disregarded the famously powerful Ran Bingluan team.

Ultimately, there was still a mindset of luck, thinking that even if there was an incident, it wouldn’t happen to them.

It took Qu Jianlei over an hour to travel, arriving to find the scoundrel leisurely smoking on a lounge chair in pajamas.

In the bathroom, there was the rustling sound of water, with occasional hints of women conversing.

Qu Jianlei had no interest in these details; perceiving no ambush, he launched a Spiritual Power attack, rendering the opponent unconscious on the lounge chair.

Then he entered quietly, killed the opponent, scavenged two Storage Talismans, and left without a trace.

Five minutes later, two young women came out of the bathroom, followed by an ear-piercing scream.

Shortly after, the City Guard arrived, and upon seeing the murder scene, first interrogated the two women.

The women were simply there to earn big money and truthfully laid out the entire affair.

Upon learning that the deceased was a Supreme, the City Guard dared not slack off, didn’t touch anything at the scene, and immediately called for their superiors.

The superiors arrived quickly; after rummaging around for a while, they found the blocked watch of the deceased.

Once unblocked, the watch immediately went into a frenzy, vibrating from alarm calls.

The other side had been frantically trying to contact him for over an hour, but alas, this one had blocked the watch, leading to a catastrophe.

News soon reached Optimus and others.

They calculated the time and were astonished to find that this was after attacking Silver Bear, continuously rushing over for the assault.

This vindictive and ruthless mindset makes those in the know shiver in fear.

As for how they could determine the attacker had rushed over, in addition to timing factors, there was the Spiritual Power attack.

This time, Qu Jianlei chose to use Spiritual Power attack, influenced by the advice of the Paranoid.

That guy loved using Spiritual Power to bully the weak.

Previously, Qu Jianlei had concealed his spiritual aspect deeply, even severing the head of a Supreme and taking it away if necessary.

The Paranoid’s actions told him: there’s no need to hide too much—even if you are a Spiritual Attribute Supreme, your opponent may not believe it!

In the end, he hadn’t yet seen this from the perspective of an Imperial Supreme, indicating insufficient immersion in societal norms.

This wasn’t what the Paranoid told him; instead, it was a realization he came to—it showed that despite his paranoia, his mind wasn’t foolish.

So this time, he also decisively used a Spiritual Attack; anyway, in the Celestial Hook Star Realm, there are others with strong Spiritual Powers besides him.

The evening attacks plunged the entire Celestial Sharp Star Central Government into a passive state.

Not only did they lose three Supremes, but the opponent’s formidable Spiritual Power is another issue they face: what to do next?
