Tru's mother's words were overheard by Xiao Yu, who happened to be passing by. The outspoken girl immediately couldn't stand it and defended her father, saying, "That's not fair, Dad is a good boss, and Tru likes it here too."
"Well, what a cute little girl, but children shouldn't gossip about things they don't understand."
Then Tru's mother recalled, "You should have seen him when he worked for Mr. Valmont. He had his own big room and even a bed specially prepared for him."
Tru's mother emphasized the latter part of her sentence, clearly directing it at Dad.
"Valmont! Valmont, Valmont he..."
Now Dad couldn't stand it. He knew exactly what kind of person Valmont was. Having resurrected the evil Shendu, he was truly wicked.
Seeing that Dad was about to speak up, Xiao Yu quickly gestured with her hands and said, "Hey, Dad, don't do that."
There was a reason Tru's mother had such a good impression of Valmont.
It could only be said that Valmont had disguised himself too well. Most people only saw the halo of a successful person, a philanthropist, or a big boss. Only special agent organizations like Section 13 and SHIELD, and families like the Dragon Clan who had truly interacted with Valmont, knew what kind of person Valmont really was.
Tru's mother knew none of this, and Tru would not tell his mother about his work in organized crime. For whatever reason, it could be avoided and glossed over.
Thus, Tru's mother was under the illusion that Valmont was a great person.
"See how well this child speaks," Tru's mother said, patting Xiao Yu's head. Then, she glared at Dad and said, "Look at you, you can't even speak Eagle language well."
Dad retorted, "Much better than you."
"No, you don't."
"Yes, I do."
"Then you can open a junk stall here."
As they spoke, they were on the verge of a fight. The Dragon Clan, who had changed into his work clothes, quickly came out to intervene, and Tru, who was outside, saw all of this.
"Despicable? I'm not despicable."
"Look at Tru's ragged clothes. These are the same clothes he wore when he worked for Mr. Valmont."
Unable to bear it any longer, the Dragon Clan checked the time and realized he was going to be late. He immediately handed over the peacemaking duty to Xiao Yu and rushed out the door with his raincoat.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry, the Dragon Clan didn't notice Tru, who was soaked in the rain behind him. Tru wanted to say something to the Dragon Clan, but in the end, he didn't.
Watching the Dragon Clan's receding back, Tru gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.
The scene shifted to a restaurant that Tru had visited.
"You've made a wise choice, Tru."
The man was very happy to see Tru enter, playing with a yo-yo in his hand.
He had heard of the Dragon Clan's name. With his four subordinates, it was almost impossible to snatch the Octopus from him. Cobra and Fin Fang Foom's people wouldn't care about these matters after completing the transaction.
The man knew clearly that to defeat an opponent, one must find someone strong enough and knowledgeable enough about the opponent to act as his henchman. Tru fit both these criteria.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing special. You go to the exhibition hall and attract their attention, and my men will steal the Octopus."
At first glance, the man's plan seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, there was a significant trap.
If Tru was sent to attract attention, then all the security forces at the exhibition would be concentrated on him. His men would have already escaped with the Octopus, so what would happen to Tru? This website is for the Sultan novel.
There was only one answer to this plan: Tru was a disposable pawn from the beginning. Tru, who didn't understand them, would become a scapegoat and be thrown into prison even if he was caught, without knowing the secret of the Horiyoshi rioters.
"There's also a small issue, Tru. You deceived your former boss, Valmont. You're very despicable."
"I didn't deceive him."
"Then prove it," a subordinate behind the man said.
"I have a piece of information to give you."
"What information?"
"That the Dragon Clan will be working security at the exhibition."
They looked at each other. They already knew this, but they pretended to have just heard it.
One of the thugs even said, "I know him. I heard he's invincible."
Tru's face showed the ferocity he had when he was in the mob. He punched a nearby table, deforming it, and said fiercely, "No one is invincible."
The man raised an eyebrow and said, "I believe you'll handle the Dragon Clan yourself, Tru. I mean, forever."
"Of course."
Time flew by, and it was soon ten-thirty in the morning. Bai Qi had also stealthily infiltrated the United States through the Shadow Kingdom.
In the lounge at the exhibition, John was introducing the man next to him to his employees.
The man next to John didn't look very old, but John had to take him seriously.
The reason was simple: this guy had a resounding name, Inspector, and he was an inspector from the parent company.
One must know that Bai Qi's Umbrella Corporation had absolute control over its subsidiaries. Whether to continue investing, how much capital to invest, and the replacement of senior management were all decided by the parent company.
And the inspectors dispatched by the parent company were responsible for determining all of this.
However, previous inspectors conducted their investigations secretly. This was the first time someone had revealed their identity so directly, but John dared not doubt the other party's identity.
As for influencing the inspector's judgment through external forces, John dared not even more. Just the red-haired man who was constantly by the inspector's side was someone John dared not offend.
"Alright, I understand. You can all leave for now. Let me rest for a while."
Bai Qi waved his hand, sending everyone else away. Only Afu was left in the lounge.
"Master, what do you need me to do next?"
Bai Qi waved his hand, intending to summon the Shadow Ninjas. To his surprise, the ninjas, who used to appear at his beck and call, did not appear immediately this time. Only when Bai Qi increased his magic output did the Shadow Ninjas emerge from the shadows. Even then, Bai Qi found that only the ninjas from the Troll, Night Bat, and Claw armies appeared. The most basic ninjas and the Strikers still did not respond to Bai Qi's summons.
"Master, what's wrong?" Afu asked, seeing Bai Qi's gloomy expression.
"It's nothing." Bai Qi waved his hand and handed the Xenobite Snake King's dial and the Whitebeard dial to Afu. "This is the power you desire. With them, you will gain immense power and destructive force. But remember, you can only use one at a time, and the second dial cannot be used for more than five minutes."
