I! Cleaner!

Me? Controlled by Atifei-01?

After hearing Leon's words, the girl with emerald eyes was momentarily stunned, experiencing what humans call "bewilderment" once again.

Strictly speaking, this body, created less than two months ago, is indeed controlled by Atifei-01... because I am Atifei-01!

"I know, this sounds really unbelievable."

Watching the girl whose soul was wildly shaking, the peculiar precision almost completely vanished, Leon understood that his shock therapy had taken effect. He immediately seized the moment to pursue further:

"Actually, besides being a prince, I'm also a Cleaner at the Virgin Branch. Through certain channels, we learned a piece of information; it seems that a mysterious organization is targeting royal families of various countries.

And according to the agreement between the Clean-up Bureau and the royal family, the Bureau is responsible for protecting royal family members' safety, so we initiated an investigative mission to find out about the situation in the Crolock Kingdom and protect the royal family members."

"..."

I know all of this... but how did you end up protecting me?

...

"So... that's what it is..."

After being bewildered and silent for a few seconds, instinctively feeling that approaching this man would bring great misfortune, Princess Feiliya couldn't help but blink her big eyes and, under Leon's gaze, forced a smile and said:

"This matter... I'm not very clear about it either. How about I go back and tell brother Andre and let him discuss it with you..."

"Of course, we will also contact Prince Andre. As for you..."

After grabbing the emerald-eyed girl's wrist tightly, Leon looked at her soul, which was filled with "wanting to escape," and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems this child still doesn't believe him, or is unaware that the royal family has already been controlled, so he'll just have to stick to the original plan and tie her up first!

"Sorry, but we'll have to trouble you to come with us for a bit!"

After signaling to the already prepared female reporter, Leon swung a hand chop onto the back of the emerald-eyed girl's neck amid her scream, trying to knock her out and take her away.

However, after receiving a hand chop, Feiliya only let out a cry of pain but did not faint, instead clutching her struck neck, she turned her head and opened her mouth with bewildered eyes:

"You..."

"Sorry, maybe I hit the wrong spot."

After giving Feiliya an apologetic glance, Leon, who only trained last night on how to knock out young men, judged that the knockout technique might not be suitable for a girl, so he slightly adjusted the force and angle and delivered another hand chop.

"Ouch!"

"..."

Why isn't it working? Is this kid so resistant to fainting?

Seeing Feiliya's neck turning red after receiving another chop, Leon couldn't help but feel embarrassed, then raised his hand again, adding more force.

"Smack!"

Accompanied by a rather dull thud, Feiliya's head visibly jolted forward when struck by Leon with added force, her big watery eyes already brimming with tears of pain.

Please, let me at least explain?

There is a signal receiver embedded under the skin at the back of my head, continuously emitting micro electric currents to stimulate my brain. As long as this thing is intact, how can attacking my nerve cluster be effective?

Moreover, this way of knocking out is dangerous, you are a prince at least, can't you use some anesthetic spray or medication instead of knocking me out in such a crude way?

"Stop!!!"

Just as Feiliya was about to break down, the guards trailing far behind finally reacted. That man, supposedly a prince, suddenly went wild and started beating up Princess Feiliya!

"What are you doing?!"

"Let go of the princess!"

Accompanied by several angry shouts, the horrified guards suddenly swarmed, trying to subdue the maniac attacking Princess Feiliya.

However, just as they started moving, the small flower in Leon's pocket shook slightly, and hundreds of thumb-thick vines suddenly erupted from the once clean and tidy street, tripping all the rushing guards.

And targeting Leon, he timely turned around and scattered a large number of seeds. These rice-sized seeds didn't even hit the ground before transforming again into a mass of vines under some strange power.

The newly emerged vines, like flexible green snakes, intertwined with the earlier vines that tripped the guards, quickly binding the fallen guards tightly.

Despite having dealt with the guards, Leon didn't let down his guard. He raised his hand for the fourth time, chopping Feiliya's neck, while shouting towards the female reporter:

"Five o'clock! Seven o'clock!"

"Got it!"

Before Leon finished his sentence, the female reporter disappeared from her original spot, appearing fifty steps away on the opposite street, tore through the building's exterior wall barehanded, revealing the man tunneling through the soil inside.

"?!!!"

Apparently, he didn't expect to be caught, and the man wearing a diving mask visibly jumped in shock, quickly retreating as if diving back into a body of water, with most of his body re-entering the wall.

But before he completely vanished into the wall, two hands glowing with white light ripped the tough soil and stone wall, once again exposing the diving man.

"You... Nicole?!!!"

"Long time no see."

Smiling at the shocked diving man, the female reporter grabbed his right leg and swung him half a circle like a shot put, then directly tossed him to the right.

Caught off guard, the diving man barely had time to scream, flailing as he flew across two buildings to crash into a middle-aged woman standing with her eyes closed.

What on earth?

Interruption to the curse, mid-process, caused by the crashing man, the middle-aged woman clutching a voodoo doll in her hand angrily got up.

But before she could start cursing, a hand glowing with white light snatched the voodoo doll from her grasp and tore it into pieces.

Immediately afterward, both captured cleaners felt a numbness on their necks and the world before them went black.

...

Oh, boy, is this the efficiency of a Level 1 Cleaner?

Seeing Nicole dispatch two Gemini Branch cleaners in less than five seconds, Leon couldn't help but be amazed and his opinion of the female reporter was greatly elevated.

Though her brains are somewhat lacking, Nicole's strength is genuinely impressive. He didn't even see clearly what she did, just felt a flash, and the two cleaners tasked with protecting Feiliya were knocked out cold.

Considering how highly regarded she is by the Aquarius Director, apart from that pair of [Untouchable Hand], she likely has other matching abnormal objects that greatly enhance speed and reaction. If caught off guard, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to resist, she'd take him down instantly.

Truly impressive...

He sighed in admiration, glanced at the teary-eyed Feiliya, and abandoned the idea of chopping her unconscious, instead shouting to the female reporter in the distance:

"Nicole! This kid won't faint, come help me chop her!"
