I! Cleaner!

"You?!!!"

"Your abnormal object is really useful."

With a shocked expression on the Scorpio Director's face, a tipsy Leon provocatively smiled and said:

"The intelligence core of the Crolock Kingdom has very tight waterproofing, with a total of over thirty separate waterproof zones, making it almost impossible to destroy them all at once. So, I originally thought that if I could destroy half of them, it would be enough.

But your [Whale Shark Puppet] is really useful. I just made it crash with full force, and all the waterproof zones cracked open, not a single one left intact."

"..."

Hearing this, the Scorpio Director's face darkened. With a sinister gaze, he questioned,

"So this was your plan all along... You deliberately got caught by me? Was it to make me lower my guard? To seize control of the Whale Shark Puppet?"

"..."

Upon hearing the Scorpio Director's words, the smile on Leon's lips paused slightly, and he fell silent.

The plan was indeed the plan, but I really didn't win either...

Not to mention, my Contamination Value is just something I forced up; my actual reaction speed and movement speed remained at the level of 12 Leon Value. Compared to the Scorpio Director, the gap is too big. No matter how strong The Cutting Silver Dagger is, it's useless if I can't hit anyone.

"Fine, this time I underestimated you."

Seemingly interpreting Leon's silence as disdain, the Scorpio Director's face reddened slightly as he faced Leon, who was disdainful of answering his question. With an angry sneer, he said:

"I admit, your calculation was indeed excellent, catching me off guard, but the gap in power between you and me can't be bridged by wisdom.

Although you successfully destroyed Atifie's core, the cost is that you've fallen into my hands. Once the duration of the Undying Body is over, you'll be killed by me instantly! The final loser will still be you!"

"..."

After hearing the Scorpio Director's words, Leon couldn't help but look up at him, with an expression of slight sympathy.

It seems Atifie's Soul Encoding Technology does indeed affect a person's IQ...

It's a huge loss to trade my life for Atifie's core, don't you think I know this? So haven't you thought about why I must destroy Atifie's core?

"Mr. Leon!"

Just as the Scorpio Director angrily walked forward, sword in hand, ready to stab Leon a few more times to vent his anger, a tired voice suddenly came from Leon's pocket.

"My second target wasn't completed, but the first target is done. You can proceed!"

This is...

Recognizing the owner's voice faintly, the Scorpio Director's expression hardened. He immediately turned around, slashing open Leon's shirt to reveal a mouth and ear attached by silk threads inside the pocket.

Alger?!!!

"What did you do?!"

After stabbing the silk-threaded ear in Leon's pocket with a sword and then pulling the sword back, the Scorpio Director coldly asked,

"Alger! Tell me! What has he instructed you to do?!"

"Director..."

Upon hearing the Scorpio Director's anxious questioning, Alger's voice wavered slightly before he declined gently,

"Normally, I should listen to you, but your head isn't quite clear right now. So I'll wait until Mr. Leon leads us and rescues you before I explain."

"I want an explanation now!"

"Well, this..."

"It's okay, go ahead and tell him."

After discreetly canceling the exchange targeting the [Whale Shark Puppet], Leon ordered the Word-Eating Worm in the mirror world to devour the words written in his blood on the [Unfair Snake Pact]. With a cheerful smile, he said to Alger:

"Even if he knows now, it's already too late for him to do anything. So, you might as well tell him the situation."

"Alright then."

Getting Leon's permission, Alger couldn't help but breathe a small sigh of relief, then in the Scorpio Director's awful expression, he began to answer,

"Director, Mr. Leon instructed me to prepare, and the moment the intelligence core is destroyed, to instantly enter the 1st Research Zone..."

This is... luring the tiger away from the mountain?!!!

Understanding Leon's plan, the Scorpio Director was suddenly shocked, grabbing Leon's collar fiercely.

"Your target is Prince Andre? After luring me away, you sent Alger to capture him?"

"Half and half."

After smiling at the Scorpio Director, Leon said:

"Rest assured, sending him to grab Andre Prince was just the second target. Besides, didn't Senior Alger just say it? The second target wasn't completed, so you don't need to worry about his safety."

"Yes..."

Upon hearing Leon's words, Alger exhaled through his lips and then said somewhat helplessly,

"Sorry, I diverted about 30% of my body to seek out Prince Andre, but as soon as my thread approached his secret chamber, it immediately lost control and disappeared without a trace. I didn't continue looking for him."

"It's okay, after all, Prince Andre is a member of the Slaughter King Association; if he were completely ordinary without some trump cards, that would be strange."

Noticing the self-reproach in Alger's words, Leon consoled him:

"He couldn't have failed to anticipate that I would stall Director Edward to allow you to sneak into the 1st Research Zone. Yet, despite this, he chose to let Director Edward come for me, meaning he had other tricks up his sleeve, confident he could handle your assault.

So in the beginning, I set capturing him as the second target. It's okay if you couldn't capture him, as long as we completed our primary objective, it counts as a success."

Primary objective?

Upon hearing this, the Scorpio Director couldn't help but ask,

"What is your primary objective?"

"Hmm... regarding this question..."

Leon pondered for a moment before nodding and saying:

"Given the time, it's probably about right to tell you... Alger's primary task was to take away all the scholars in the 1st Research Zone, except for Prince Andre, along with some essential equipment for reanimation technology.

With his skills as a Level 1 Cleaner, once I destroy Atifie's intelligence core, causing a temporary outage of the defense systems in the 1st Research Zone, he would only need one minute to take away every living person in the 1st Research Zone."

"Why take them? What exactly is your goal?"

Wow... I've hinted this clearly, and you still haven't figured it out?

Glancing at the increasingly agitated Scorpio Director and sensing that hidden feeling of disrupting that "precision", Leon did not answer his question but thoughtfully asked back:

"Speaking of which, if you were indeed completely controlled, knowing Senior Alger had entered the 1st Research Zone, shouldn't you be rushing back to defend?

Yet, now you don't seem in a hurry to protect Prince Andre; instead, you appear like someone who's lost everything, shouting at me while grabbing my collar... Does this mean Andre Prince's control over you isn't complete? Are you able to slightly resist the soul encoding control when your emotions are highly agitated?"
