Chapter 2026 Agreement, the pressure from the eldest brother

"You think too highly of me. In just a thousand years, I have grown to the point where I am just one step away from disappearing in obscurity. I dare not call myself a genius in front of such a genius."

The corners of Leon's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but this smile revealed a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.

He shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of certain thoughts in his mind, and then put away the original cynicism on his face, replacing it with a rather serious expression.

His gaze slowly fell on Cui Yingying, and his originally relaxed look now became somewhat solemn, as if he was re-examining the woman in front of him.

Cui Yingying didn’t seem to notice Leon’s changes. She still covered her forehead helplessly, muttering to herself.

"We're off topic again..."

Obviously, she didn't care much about Leon's theory of genius.

After all, she knew whether she was a genius or not. But after seeing that person's talent, Cui Yingying felt that she was really inferior to him, so she felt so emotional.

However, Leon was not affected by Cui Yingying's reaction, he continued.

"So, you want to let the Maze Traveler investigate Wu Yuan, or even the Ning family, through me?"

His voice was calm.

"Yes, to be honest, the Ning family did a lot of things behind our backs that we didn't know about. We were even unaware of the Ning family sending people to Blue Star at the beginning. It was only later that the Ning family took the initiative to confess to us that we learned the reason. Although the Ning family had their own reasons, and they were very legitimate, it still caused a gap in trust between the two of us."

"Under this environment, we cannot use unconventional means to investigate the Ning family. Even what we have investigated is what the Ning family wants us to know."

"So using us to investigate the Ning family is not only for them to reap the benefits, but also for them to put the blame on us if the truth is accidentally exposed?"

As soon as Cui Yingying finished speaking, Leon added a sentence, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"what do you want?"

Cui Yingying's voice was calm and direct, as if she had seen through Leon's inner thoughts. After just a brief eye contact, she got to the point without hesitation.

Leon smiled slightly, and his eyes met Cui Yingying, revealing a firmness and determination.

"The truth, the truth that most people hear but don't know the details of."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed carefully considered.

Hearing Leon's words, Cui Yingying frowned slightly, and she was obviously concerned about this request. However, Elodie on the side was completely confused. She looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.

Cui Yingying was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"Okay, the thing you want to know is actually closely related to the Ning family."

She didn't speak fast, but every word she spoke sounded particularly solemn.

"Perhaps after you find out the Ning family's plan and Wu Yuan's identity, everything will be clear."

Leon listened quietly, his expression did not change at all, but he was thinking quickly about what Cui Yingying said in his heart. This did not seem to be a simple answer, and there were many unknown factors hidden in it.

"It sounds like I'm working for nothing."

Leon finally couldn't help but speak, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone. He originally thought that Cui Yingying would give more clear clues and answers.

"I can promise you any detective, infiltration, and espionage operations in the Morning Star Kingdom, and I guarantee that no official forces will hinder you."

Cui Yingying's tone was confident and determined. She really had such ability and power.

However, Leon was not someone who could be easily fooled. He stared into Cui Yingying's eyes, his eyes sharp and firm, without flinching. Cui Yingying's words sounded like an empty promise to her, and were not convincing at all.

"You have no choice."

Finally, Cui Yingying added another sentence.

“I hope our cooperation will be pleasant.”

Leon's face quickly changed into a smile, looking very amiable. Then, he stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand to Cui Yingying, as if he wanted to use this friendly gesture to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

However, Cui Yingying was completely indifferent to Leon's actions. She just looked at Leon indifferently, and even showed a hint of disgust in her eyes. She did not reach out to respond to Leon's handshake, but turned her eyes to Elodie.

"If you have some free time, you might as well take a stroll around the Chinese region of Morning Star. The scenery here is really pleasant and will surely feast your eyes."

Cui Yingying said softly with a smile on her face, her attitude was completely different from when she faced Leon.

"This is the identity card of the Monster Suppression Division consultant that I made for you. With it, you can freely pass through any official checkpoints in China, and you have the power to mobilize the Monster Suppression Division below the third-level city to assist you. However, if you meet someone who doesn't know what's good for you, remember not to act rashly, just contact the Monster Suppression Division directly. After all, every city has a device to detect spiritual power. Once you use a large amount of spiritual power, it is possible that spiritual power fluctuations that are very different from those of humans will be detected, which may cause you a lot of inconvenience."

After that, Cui Yingying took out a small jade card the size of a mahjong from her bosom. The jade card was crystal clear, with a warm and delicate texture. It was obviously carved from some rare jade. She gently placed the jade card in Yiluodi's palm and said softly.

"That's it. You must keep it properly. It will be very troublesome if you lose it."

Yiluodi carefully took the jade card and felt it was warm and smooth to the touch, just like white jade. She looked at the jade card carefully and saw that it was engraved with exquisite patterns on the surface, with smooth and natural lines, which was obviously made by a master. Such an exquisite jade card was definitely not an ordinary item.

Leon's gaze stayed on Cui Yingying for a moment, and at that moment, his eyes revealed a hint of shock and confusion. However, he did not express these emotions in words, but just looked at Cui Yingying silently, as if thinking about something.

"Our cooperation has begun now, Mr. Leon, you can start your actions, but I suggest that you do it yourself. The insiders of you Maze Travelers in Morning Star cannot break through the eyes of the Ning family."

"Remember, don't underestimate the Ning family. They have existed since the chaotic time of Morning Star and have survived until now. They have developed their family business to the point where even the Chinese government cannot control them. If you are caught, I will have to notify your eldest brother to come and redeem you."

Cui Yingying stood up, gave Leon a final warning, then waved to Elodie and left the room.

After saying this, Cui Yingying waved to Elodie, then turned around and left the room without hesitation, leaving Leon alone in deep thought.

At this moment, Elodie's face was full of confusion and bewilderment, and various questions kept flashing through her mind. She really couldn't figure out what kind of agreement her second brother and Cui Yingying had reached. Didn't they originally agree to investigate Wu Yuan? How come the Ning family was suddenly involved? Moreover, what was the so-called truth that Leon mentioned? Why did Cui Yingying give her this jade token?

While Ilodi was thinking hard about these questions, Cui Yingying had already turned and left. Leon stood there, licked his lips silently, and spoke thoughtfully.

"Tsk tsk, everyone underestimated the Morning Star."

When Elodie heard Leon's words, she became even more confused. She turned her head and looked at Leon in confusion. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly expressed her questioning intention.

Leon seemed to notice Elodie's gaze. He smiled slightly, but did not directly answer Elodie's question. Instead, he asked her back.

"What is your relationship with Cui Yingying?"

Elodie was a little surprised by Leon's question. She hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"I have told you everything I can tell you. As for what I cannot tell you, I cannot tell you without Cui Yingying's consent."

Elodi shook her head. How she met Cui Yingying was too complicated.

Hearing what Elodie said, Leon couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Elodie did explain to him their relationship, that he saved her life, but it was also a chance encounter. How could Leon understand this vague description?

To put it bluntly, with the strength of Ilodi, can he save Cui Yingying's life?

"Don't fool me. With your strength, can you save Cui Yingying's life? Do you know what Cui Yingying's strength is?"

Leon looked at Elodi seriously. His eyes were as sharp as torches. Looking at Elodi's still puzzled face, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Elodie looked at him with some confusion. Cui Yingying's control over her own aura had reached an outrageous level. Even at such a close distance, Elodie did not notice the pressure she exerted on Leon at all.

"Ugh....."

Seeing that Elodie was still at a loss, Leon sighed helplessly, then slowly stood up. His movements seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a huge pressure.

After Leon stood up, he did not explain immediately, but motioned Elodie to look under his buttocks. Elodie cast her eyes under Leon hesitantly, and this look surprised her.

The chair made of an unknown alloy under Leon, after Leon stood up, was like a magic, instantly turned into extremely fine particles, scattered all over the ground like dust. These particles evenly accumulated on the ground, forming a small pile, as if silently telling Cui Yingying's powerful strength.

"see it?"

Leon's voice was low and serious.

"Based on her aura, if she wanted to, this towering building would probably end up like this chair in an instant."

His words revealed his deep fear of Cui Yingying's strength.

"She is probably only one step away from reaching that level. She may even be further than our eldest brother."

"Super star?"

Hearing Leon's words, Elodie was stunned and asked ambiguously and hesitantly.

"Well, and she definitely hasn't just entered this stage."

Leon said with some regret, is this the potential of human beings?

Previously, there was a Luo Chen who almost poked a hole in the universe, and now there is a human who is only a thousand years old entering the super star. In comparison, these so-called big clans seem a bit like clowns.

"And the jade token. Do you know what it represents? It is definitely not just the consultant ID card that Cui Yingying mentioned. This is probably the jade token that Cui Yingying carries with her. It symbolizes her identity as the director of the Monster Suppression Bureau. With the jade token alone, she can mobilize the Monster Suppression Bureaus below the third-tier cities to assist in operations. This kind of power is not simple."

Leon continued, but Elodie gave a different insight.

"Maybe Yingying wants me to help you investigate the Ning family and Wu Yuan?"

"The Ning family is very wealthy and has spies all over the Morning Star. They want to use the Monster Suppression Division to help me? I'm afraid that as soon as we step into the gate of the Monster Suppression Division, the Ning family will already know of our existence."

Hearing what Elodie said, Leon shook his head.

"This is simply out of concern for your safety. She's worried that something might happen to you on Morning Star. With this level of care, I would believe you if she said you were her illegitimate daughter."

"I will tell my father these words exactly as they were."

In an instant, the expression on Leon's face became extremely stiff, and the cold and aloof temperament he had been pretending for a long time disappeared in an instant.

"I'm just making an analogy...it's not necessary..."

"cut."

Seeing Leon surrender so quickly, Elodie couldn't help but snort, then looked at Leon.

"Whatever agreement you have reached, I urge you to proceed with caution."

Elodie looked at Leon solemnly, her eyes were like torches, as if they could penetrate Leon's heart. In her eyes, in addition to seriousness, there was also a flash of fear, which was the worry about the consequences that Leon might cause.

Leon obviously also felt Elodie's seriousness, and he responded with the same seriousness.

"I know, I'll be careful."

However, his tone revealed a sense of helplessness, as if he was afraid of the big brother mentioned by Elodie.

However, Leon seemed to want to liven up the atmosphere and continued speaking.

"Brother can't bear to hit you."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but it also implied that Ilodi held a special position in the eldest brother's heart.

But Elodie continued with a wry smile.

"Yeah, so the attention on me will also be added to you."

In an instant, Leon's face turned a little ugly, obviously realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Elodie then said,

"You will be dead by then, and even father won't be able to save you."

Although her voice was not loud, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Leon's heart hard.
