Chapter 103: Chapter 71: Making a Fortune without Capital? Dream on

Other work? Su Xiao looked puzzled. Washuu Itsuki contacting him on his own initiative was definitely not a good thing.

"Director, the situation at the entrance of the 24th District is critical now. I might not be able to leave."

Su Xiao’s firm attitude made Washuu Itsuki on the other end of the phone look a bit unpleasant.

"Special Agent Bai Ye, I am now appointing you as the captain of the 24th District reinforcement team, leading thirty investigators to support First-Class Investigator Arima who is currently deep within the 24th District and requires reinforcement."

Su Xiao’s face changed.

If the CCG’s compulsory order came before he completed the main mission (2), he would have no choice, but now he can complete the main mission (2) at any time.

As for main mission (3), it should be a confrontation mission. Even if he is expelled from the CCG, the main mission (3) should not fail; a confrontation mission is merely to destroy one side.

Moreover, once he is expelled from the CCG, the number of Contractors in the CCG camp becomes 0; then executing a confrontation mission would be pointless.

Putting all this together means Su Xiao is already free from the CCG’s constraints.

If the CCG issues an order that benefits him, he might consider it. But he will never carry out orders that are clearly thankless.

"Director Washuu, forgive me for not having the ability to ’qualify’ as a captain, I truly let you down."

Su Xiao’s message was clear: it’s too dangerous, and the CCG wants something for nothing; I’m not going.

Without even a task prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Washuu Itsuki obviously wanted to use him for free.

"Special Agent Bai Ye, are you defying orders?"

Washuu Itsuki’s voice had a hint of frost.

"Director Washuu, there’s a saying in my hometown, perhaps you’ve heard it: When a soldier is on duty, orders from the superior may not be accepted. The situation at the entrance of the 24th District is very dangerous. If I withdraw, the ghouls are highly likely to break out of the 24th District, posing a great threat to ordinary citizens.

As a Ghoul Investigator, I will not allow such a thing to happen."

Su Xiao’s words seemed righteous and full of justice.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t his true intention. These words were not only for Washuu Itsuki but also for the dozen or so investigators around him to hear.

After these words, if Washuu Itsuki forcibly transfers Su Xiao, it would leave an impression on these investigators that he disregards civilian lives.

How does the CCG win people over? By protecting civilian safety.

Though Washuu Itsuki holds a high office, he cannot afford to say that civilian lives don’t matter, as that would shake the beliefs of Ghoul Investigators.

This huge hat of protecting civilian safety is really a heavy blow to Washuu Itsuki.

What’s even more shameless is that Su Xiao put the call on speaker, claiming poor underground signal~.

Washuu Itsuki noticed the spacious sound on the call and guessed that Su Xiao had it on speaker.

"Special Agent Bai Ye, I understand your concerns. I’ve dispatched personnel to replace your defense position. Please rest assured, they are all excellent investigators.

The task to reinforce First-Class Investigator Arima must be executed. Once the arranged personnel arrive, you will lead them deep into the 24th District."

Washuu Itsuki smoothly handled the situation, as he realized that this Bai Ye Investigator was not a person overflowing with a sense of mission.

Su Xiao walked towards the ground, turning off the speaker.

"If that’s the case, then of course there’s no problem."

Su Xiao walked faster and faster, soon reaching the ground.

The reason he agreed was that the faction mission reappeared.

[Faction Mission: Reinforcement.]

Difficulty Level: Lv.5.

Mission Brief: Go deep into the 24th District to assist First-Class Investigator Arima Kishou and aid him in dealing with the primitive species.

Mission Information: The CCG camp mission will not be included in the clearance evaluation.

Mission Deadline: 2 natural days.

Mission Reward: 15,000 faction contribution points.

Failure Penalty: CCG rank decreased by one level, demoted to First-Class Investigator.

...

Although the faction mission appeared, Su Xiao did not immediately accept it.

"Director Washuu, I have a favor to ask from the headquarters."

Even though 15,000 faction contribution points are precious, it did not tempt Su Xiao. It can be imagined that entering the 24th District at this time would be extremely dangerous.

"Speak."

Washuu Itsuki’s tone clearly had a bit of gritting teeth, having gotten used to ordering investigators around. Suddenly encountering a tough nut like Su Xiao gave Washuu Itsuki a headache.

More importantly, this tough nut Su Xiao is quite capable, and the CCG needs Su Xiao’s fighting strength.

Except for Arima Kishou, other strong ones were not suitable to appear in this matter. Their identities were too disgraceful, they were all...

"Director Washuu, during my previous battle with the Owl, I cut off one of its Heko, and I wish to have it made into a Kuingke. Such a level of Kuingke, to manufacture it... "

Su Xiao ceased to speak, and Washuu Itsuki fell silent too. After a long while, Washuu Itsuki broke the silence first.

"Fine, as long as you successfully reinforce First-Class Investigator Arima, you can get the Kuingke upon your return.

As a Quasi Special Investigator, you indeed should have a Kuingke."

Washuu Itsuki’s straightforwardness took Su Xiao by surprise.

"Thank you, Director Washuu."

Hanging up the phone, Su Xiao found a large stone in the wilderness overgrown with weeds to sit on.

He was pondering why Washuu Itsuki agreed so readily, knowing that making a Kuingke, especially an SS-level or SSS-level one, requires rare materials and complicated procedures.

Maybe the CCG high-ups want to cultivate him into an enforcer like Arima Kishou? This possibility cannot be ruled out.

The CCG’s attitude, the upheaval deep in the 24th District, and the fact that Arima Kishou arrived there ahead of time all raise significant doubts.

Su Xiao began to plan his actions.

First, to gain benefits with his current status as a Quasi Special Investigator, the deadline for main mission (2) still has a few days, enough time for him to complete the faction mission.

Next, prepare to complete main mission (3). After completing main mission (3), he can return to Reincarnation Paradise.

Lastly is the hunting mission.

Thinking of the hunting mission, Su Xiao felt a headache. There were no hints, and despite being in Tokyo for so long, he hadn’t encountered violator 12470.

If not for the hunting mission showing as in progress, he would suspect violator No.12470 had already returned.

That one-kilometer tracking range, Su Xiao even suspected it was fake.

Regarding the hunting mission, Su Xiao had adopted a let-it-be attitude. It’s good to complete it, but there’s no penalty if not.

Su Xiao felt that Reincarnation Paradise wouldn’t let him be unable to find ’violator No.12470’.

Even if he didn’t approach the other party, Reincarnation Paradise would arrange a mission for the other party to approach him.

As Su Xiao contemplated, dozens of CCG vehicles arrived at the entrance of the 24th District.

Some familiar faces appeared, Shuuzou Suzuya, Marude Itsuki, Black Basalt, Maniwa Haruo, and others all arrived.

Among them were also some investigators Su Xiao didn’t recognize, one of whom was particularly eye-catching - a female investigator.

The female investigator walked shoulder to shoulder with Marude Itsuki and Black Basalt, indicating that she too was a First-Class Investigator.

"Bai Ye, it seems your injuries have healed well."

Marude Itsuki stepped forward and gave Su Xiao a big bear hug.

"Still~... still okay."

Marude Itsuki’s enthusiastic attitude surprised Su Xiao a bit.

"Let me introduce you; this is Anpu Kiyoko, an exceptional female investigator."

It seemed that Marude Itsuki and Anpu Kiyoko were quite familiar.

Anpu Kiyoko was of medium build, around thirty years old, wearing a black suit with her blue hair tied up.

"Hello, I am Anpu Kiyoko."

"Hello, I am Bai Ye."

The two shook hands, and Marude Itsuki lightly coughed and said.

"Bai Ye, you can just hand over that Heko from the Owl to me, and I’ll have someone send it to headquarters.

Director Washuu should have informed you that the reinforcement team is ready and can depart at any time."
