"I promise you!"
"Whatever you want to do, I'll agree to it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Sanada Ryosuke decisively agreed to Lu Xuan's request.
"It's not that exaggerated..."
"It was just helping me deal with some 'minor troubles' that I'm not suited to be in the public eye."
They didn't believe Lu Xuan's explanation, but they weren't foolish enough to refute it directly either...
Ryosuke Sanada sighed silently to himself, then asked.
"Could I ask in advance what kind of trouble it is?"
For some reason, Sanada Ryosuke always felt that the "small trouble" Lu Xuan mentioned was definitely a big trouble—the kind that would scare people to death.
"Let's put aside my troubles for now."
"First, you need to deal with the trouble you caused yourself."
“I was not able to eliminate all the Ebloon cells while I was in Lebanon, and some Ebloon individuals took the opportunity to escape.”
"So I will give you some equipment and tools. You must eliminate or capture those escaped Ebloon individuals."
Under Sanada Ryosuke's slightly surprised gaze, Lu Xuan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"The world is already chaotic enough; I don't want to cause any more trouble in the coming period."
"At the very least, before the 'final boss' arrives, all those Ebloon cells that can pollute the ecosystem and amplify the negative emotions of individual organisms must be brought under control."

Chapter 268 The Missing Daigo
Sixth Avenue, Tokyo, Japan.
Since the Lunar New Year celebrations just ended yesterday, the once bustling Sixth Avenue has finally quieted down again.
Lady Nine-Tailed Fox has run off somewhere with Kuzuha Jiro, and it's said they won't be back before the Spring Festival.
Jia'er was taken back to her hometown by her father. According to the customs of their hometown, she should be busy visiting relatives these days.
As for Makio Kirino, who forcibly moved into Sixth Avenue, that goes without saying.
This guy was always so secretive; who knows where he went after the New Year.
In any case, as long as he doesn't want to show himself, even Lu Xuan will find it difficult to locate him immediately.
So after all the calculations, Saki was left alone on Sixth Avenue again.
"Why are you still here?"
When Lu Xuan returned to his usual secondhand store, Saki was arguing with Tomoko over a PSN handheld console!
Despite having maxed out the level, equipment, and attributes of the character controlled by Saki, she still died time and time again at the hands of the BOSS controlled by Tomoko.
But Saki refused to admit defeat and challenged the final boss again and again.
"Why can't I be here?"
"Do you start to dislike me now that Daigo isn't around?"
After being killed by the BOSS once again, Saki reluctantly put down the handheld console and asked in an annoyed tone.
"..."
He glanced at Saki with complete composure.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, but Sha Ji was so frightened that she immediately put on a fawning smile.
"Ahem, what I mean is..."
“Jia’er went back to the countryside with her father. I can’t possibly continue to follow her, can I?”
Seeing that Saki was completely different from before, Lu Xuan ultimately decided not to pursue the issue of her previous attitude.
Anyway, Lu Xuan was getting used to this guy's bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He really didn't know how the guy had lived on Earth for more than two hundred years.
"What about yourself?"
"I've noticed you seem to be getting more and more lazy. Haven't you ever thought about going back to your own planet?"
Lu Xuan hadn't forgotten Sha Ji's behavior back then—that alien visitor who, having witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships through immortality, only wanted to return to his homeland.
To say that Saki is so happy she forgets everything else is an understatement; she's clearly enjoying herself.
If Lu Yuxuan hadn't brought up the topic, he estimated that the guy would have already forgotten about it.
“These things can’t be forced. My ‘signal generator’ sank to the bottom of the sea two hundred years ago.”
"Without that thing, I might never be able to return to my home planet in this lifetime."
Seemingly touched on a sore spot by the topic of Lu Xuan, Saki's eyes instantly dimmed.
Shaji and Lu Xuan are ultimately different. For her, life on Earth was just a journey through her life; her childhood and family were all on her home planet.
Unlike Lu Xuan, who now holds the identity of a Gaelic, he has lived on Earth for both of his lives.
Earth is his home, and the people on Earth are his familiar kind.
"Have I ever told you that Zhizi can actually help you find your 'signal generator'?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Sha Ji immediately looked up in astonishment.
"You didn't say that!"
"I swear, you absolutely didn't tell me about this!"
If he had a knife right now, Lu Xuan had no doubt that Saki would stab him on the spot.
"Hmm, if you keep staring at me like that, Tomoko probably won't be happy to help you find the 'signal generator'."
Although Lu Xuan didn't care about Sha Ji's attitude, he still whispered a reminder.
Lu Xuan assured him that he had absolutely no intention of gloating.
"Ahem, Tomoko-chan, don't listen to this guy's nonsense..."
Deliberately raising her voice and adopting a fawning posture, Saki shamelessly turned around and picked up the PSN handheld console again, as if she hadn't just put it down.
"Although my visual system is different from that of living organisms, I am able to see."
"Furthermore, according to the usage rights and security regulations, you are not qualified to use the 'Sophon System'."
A cold female voice came from the PSN handheld console, and Tomoko expressed her attitude in her unique tone.
"No!"
She immediately let out a scream, and Saki quickly continued to fawn over her.
"Tomoko-chan, we've known each other for so long, you know I'm just a chatterbox!"
"How about this, I promise I won't say anything bad about you and Lu Xuan to Jia'er anymore, so please help me this once!"
Looking at Saki's self-disclosure with a blank expression, Lu Xuan realized that he had indeed neglected to "discipline" this guy.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe that this shameless, homebody girl was the same aloof and cautious alien immortal from back then.
"Are you just as shameless back on your home planet?"
Saki remained quite composed in the face of Lu Xuan's criticism.
"If you lived in a completely unfamiliar place for two hundred years, you wouldn't care too much about what other people think."
"Oh! That was my oversight. You never paid attention to what others thought from the very beginning."
"I really don't know how you developed such an arrogant personality..."
......................................................................................................
Amami City on Amami Island, Oko’s home.
"Old man, Da Gu didn't come home all night yesterday. Did something happen to him?"
Lady Misaki gazed anxiously out the window, her eyes filled with worry.
"You've asked this question countless times..."
Upon hearing this, Yasuyuki Taniyama, who was planting vegetables in his backyard, turned his head helplessly and said.
"Daigo is no longer a child, nothing unexpected will happen."
"I guess they ran into an old acquaintance on the way and went out for a meal and drinks together."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Misaki immediately turned around and glared fiercely at her husband.
"Do you think Daigo is you?"
“The child never drinks alcohol, let alone stays out overnight.”
"This is the first time he's stayed out overnight, and he hasn't even called home yet..."
To make it easier to contact Daigo, Mrs. Misaki, who is not usually open to new things, specially prepared a cell phone for herself, so as not to create too much of a generation gap between herself and the young man.
"You old woman, you're just overthinking things!"
"Young people have their own lives; they can't possibly report everything to their families, can they?"
Completely annoyed by Mrs. Misaki, Yasuyuki Taniyama had no choice but to make a promise to her.
"Come on!"
"If Daigo doesn't come home tonight, I'll definitely find a way to go find him. I promise you, okay?"
He coaxed his wife like a child, and finally muttered something in a voice only he could hear.
"I really don't know how I ever fell for you back then..."
"I must have been out of my mind at the time..."

Chapter 269 Guardian Civilization
Today, the Galvin Group has become a major force within TPC, with its businesses spanning various industries worldwide.
From consumption to energy, from healthcare to the internet, from finance to industry...
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Galvin Group has become a true "uncrowned king".
Especially in Japan, where it has risen to prominence, various emerging industries and high technologies have first appeared here, making it a testing ground for the Galvin Group's global expansion.
This includes the "intercity aerial rail train," which is currently only theoretically feasible.
Unlike those elevated rail trains that only operate in cities.
These high-speed trains, designed specifically for intercity travel, can accelerate themselves to near-sonic speeds.
Its principle is somewhat similar to the firing principle of an electromagnetic railgun.
A special electromagnetic channel is set up between the two cities, and then a specially designed vehicle is accelerated to its physical limits, allowing it to cross the two cities in a short time.
Of course, considering the dangers and adaptability involved, this special aerial rail train is not yet widely available to the general public.
However, according to Galvin's plan and forecast.
They will promote it throughout Japan and even around the world in the next one to two years.
By then, this aerial rail train will replace airplanes and become the new international mode of transportation.
After all, compared with airplanes, the biggest advantages of aerial rail trains are their passenger capacity and relatively low maintenance costs.
To be honest, after the electromagnetic railroad was established, the Japanese living in the area began to look forward to the opening of this aerial railroad.
Quite coincidentally, there is an elevated rail train between Tokyo and Amami City that is not yet open to the public.
Lu Xuan, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Galvin Group, boarded the aerial rail train with Shaji without going through any approval procedures.
Then, the aerial rail train streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, tearing through the heavens.
In less than an hour, he brought the two of them back to Amami City.
