Chapter 1840: Chapter 1840: He Would Rather Kill 3,000 People Than Let One Go!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the bodyguards, who were originally terrified, suddenly became heated again.

However, it was only for a short while, that the few patrolling bodyguards who had been in close contact with Ye Feng’s eyes dimmed again.

When they recalled the details of their interaction with Ye Feng, they realized that they did not find any problems.

Jantman Devonshire’s eyes also flashed with seriousness. “That guy’s acting ability is amazing.”

“When I first found him, he was fooling around with a woman in the garden at the entrance of the villa.”

“When he noticed me approaching, his expression and tone were exactly the same as Young Master Hook’s. Even I didn’t notice anything unusual.”

The Duke of Devonshire glanced at him.

“Not only you, but the motion capture system in the basement that we spent a lot of money to buy didn’t find anything unusual about this guy.”

“I hope that the clues that everyone will provide are not these, but the clues that this guy unintentionally revealed.”

“The situation just now was so dangerous. There are nearly 50 elite retired special forces soldiers here, and each of them is equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition. No matter how bold that guy is, he will inevitably be a little nervous to escape from such an environment…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jantman Devonshire immediately understood what the duke meant.

Once a person was in a nervous state, adrenaline would be secreted uncontrollably, causing the brain to be in an extremely excited state.

Under such circumstances, even if a person wanted to pretend and be rational, it would be difficult to control his brain and subconscious.

At this time, it was very likely that some small actions or words from him would reveal some of his true appearance.

Some of the smarter bodyguards also understood what the Duke of Devonshire meant.

Everyone pondered thoughtfully again.

A moment later, a bodyguard suddenly raised his head and said, “I might have found something.”

“When Mr. Jantman rushed out of the villa and shouted at us that Young Master Hook was an imposter, Young Master Hook panicked for a moment.”

“He seemed to have said something strange at that time. The pronunciation was similar to ‘wash it’…”

“Wash it?” When most people heard this, they were a little confused. What did this mean?

Jantman Devonshire’s expression changed. “Is it something like this… Asiba?”

A constant stream of people walked in and out of the Spiritual Affairs Division. This was the place where the Tiansang Spirit Palace dealt with the miscellaneous matters of outer yard disciples from. It was a massive place with 108 counters.

“Good morning, Senior.”

“Good morning, Senior Xu.”

“Good morning, Senio… Good afternoon?”

Xu Xiaoshou walked over with his sword behind his back. He saw people that he knew as well as people that he didn’t. Anyway, he was the most senior person here and didn’t have to greet anyone. All he had to do was nod.

Entering the Spiritual Affairs Division was like entering a wet market. It was loud and rowdy.

Most of the people here had come to register for the Windcloud Competition. After all, not registering for the competition was equivalent to forfeiting.

Anyone who forfeited for three years would be ousted from the palace. Of course, anyone ranked last for three years would also be ousted from the palace.

A small minority of people didn’t want to participate in the competition and embarrass themselves. Thus, they had come over to submit their application to enter the mortal world as an executive. They planned to live day by day until they died.

All 108 counters were occupied. Xu Xiaoshou walked toward counter number one. There was no one there.

“Indeed!”

According to his memories, rest of the counters were managed by outer yard disciples who had enough experience. Only counter number one was managed by the elder of the Spiritual Affairs Division, Qiao Qianzhi.

Elder Qiao was good in every regard except that he constantly lectured anyone he talked to. Thus, the rest of the people would rather join the queue than interact with him.

Xu Xiaoshou was on rather good terms with this elder, mainly because he had reached the limits of his potential, so Elder Qiao couldn’t be bothered to lecture him anymore.

After all, he was a man who was unable to break through to Level Four even after putting in 120% of his effort.

Xu Xiaoshou entered the booth. Elder Xiao was nodding off. Xu Xiaoshou sneakily walked over, then rapped the table with his knuckles. “Wake up!”

Elder Qiao, who was leaning back in his chair, his mouth slightly open, jumped in shock. He didn’t even bother to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth before slapping at whoever was in front of him. Xu Xiaoshou nimbly crouched down to avoid the attack. “Easy!” he warned.

“Oh, it’s you. Xiaoshou… Hm, Xu Xiaoshou?”

Elder Qiao became wide awake when he saw who had come. There was a look of shock on his face. “Weren’t you in death seclusion? You didn’t die?”

Xu Xiaoshou’s expression turned dark. What, it’s not possible that I could’ve achieved a breakthrough? You expected me to become a corpse?

“I died. I’m now a zombie!” he said in an unfriendly tone.

Elder Qiao gave him a friendly smile. He pointed to the people outside and said, “You’re also prepared to leave the palace to become an executive in the mortal world?”

Xu Xiaoshou returned his sarcasm. “Become an executive? Why, is it not good to make it in the top ten spots of the Windcloud Scoreboard?”

“Yes, but how can you with your abilities?” Elder Qiao suddenly clutched his belly and burst out laughing, his body trembling violently.

It was incredibly boring in the outer yard. Only Xu Xiaoshou dared to talk to him like this. It was only in front of Xu Xiaoshou that he would set aside his pride and laugh freely.

“Got mocked. Passive Point +1.”

Mocked?

He’d just opened a whole new can of worms!

Xu Xiaoshou snickered. It seemed like it was as he’d expected. As long as he was passive enough, he’d gain an endless stream of Passive Points.

“Why? You don’t believe that my abilities have improved by leaps and bounds after my death seclusion?”

Elder Qiao had wiped off his drool with a napkin and was just about to rinse his mouth, but when Xu Xiaoshou asked this, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Got suspected. Passive Point +1.”

Xu Xiaoshou was happy. He continued to flick his sleeves and said with a stern expression, “I won’t keep anything from you. I’ve already broken through to the Innate stage!”

“Puuu!” Elder Qiao spat out his water.

He looked at Xu Xiaoshou’s serious expression and could no longer hold it in. His demon-like laugh reverberated around the Spiritual Affairs Division. “HAHAHAHA…”

“Tonight, Jantman, bring a group of Devonshire family members and the entire Fog City police station to clean up these rats in the sewers.”

“Understood!” Jantman Devonshire and everyone present understood what the Duke of Devonshire meant.

This old man would rather kill 3,000 innocent people than let a single one go!

In order to catch the culprit, he didn’t hesitate to dig three feet into the ground!

Everyone’s expression turned solemn.
