After finishing his conversation with Zong Maohui, Qin Siyang's mission registration was also completed.
"When do I get the mission rewards?"
"R-right now."
The supervisor took two deep breaths to calm the shock in his chest, then checked the aura on the divine round armor piece and Qin Siyang's memories. After the routine inspection passed, he helped Qin Siyang register the mission completion details and settled all the points, sequence potions, and money on the spot.
Looking at the few hundred bottles of sequence potions and the hundred or so silver coins that looked like alms for a beggar, Qin Siyang could not even be bothered to complain.
However, after turning in five 4-star missions, his points shot up.
[God Hunter Points: 512,004 | God Hunter Points Ranking: 15,339]
"These points... are already higher than Rong Xin's. But other than not getting cut in line at the cafeteria, they don't seem to have much use."
"Forget it. I'll just treat it as a contribution to South Glory."
Qin Siyang laughed and prepared to leave.
Zhao Sifang and the others, who had also submitted their missions, left the mission hall together with Qin Siyang.
"Boss Qin, why did Zong Maohui call you over by yourself just now?"
"Nothing much. But this Zong Maohui is kind of annoying."
Hu Chan hesitated for a moment, "But I felt like he opened a conversation block and talked to you privately. He didn't criticize you in public. It didn't seem like he had bad intentions."
"Bad intentions? Not really. At most he's a busybody who stood there acting like an elder and spouted a bunch of meaningless nonsense."
Ding!
Qin Siyang's phone chimed. It was a text message from Zhao Longfei.
[Little Qin, the five of you come to my office.]
Qin Siyang looked displeased.
"This Zhao Longfei even knows the five of us are together. He's really got nothing better to do. All he does is watch other people every day."
"Let's go to the principal's office. Principal Zhao wants to see us."
"Huh? Second Uncle wants all five of us at once?"
"Yeah. Let's go see."
"Okay."
———
The group arrived at the office. After closing the door, they sat in a row in front of Zhao Longfei.
The others were somewhat reserved. Qin Siyang directly poured himself a cup of hot water, crossed one leg over the other, and leaned back on the sofa as if he were at home.
Picking at his ear, he asked, "Principal Zhao, why did you call us here?"
Zhao Longfei was already used to Qin Siyang acting like this and could not be bothered to criticize him.
"The memory readings of that Qin Yu, her superior in the Samsara Church, and Liu Yuelan have all been completed. Today I'm giving you an explanation."
Qin Siyang paused, "That fast? Didn't you say the results wouldn't be out until next week?"
"Because this happened in South Glory. South Glory absolutely cannot be thrown into chaos, so I had it expedited."
"So what's the situation exactly?"
"The people from the Samsara Church were after Hu Chan."
"I knew it!"
Qin Siyang nodded.
"The moment Qin Yu's identity in the Samsara Church was exposed, I knew it was dogs biting each other inside the church."
Hu Chan silently stared at Qin Siyang. Bound by various benefits and promises, he lacked the courage to protest against his wealthy sponsor.
"Hu Chan, we already agreed before. Whoever causes trouble for everyone has to compensate everyone."
Hu Chan replied irritably, "Got it."
"Principal Zhao, what about Xiao Lan?"
Zhao Longfei continued, "Liu Yuelan was hired by the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce to harm Qin Siyang. The Haori Chamber of Commerce of the Jiang family is backing them. As for whether the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce acted on its own or was instructed by the Jiang family, that still requires further investigation."
As soon as Zhao Longfei finished speaking, Hu Chan reminded him, "Boss Qin, what you just said has to count. Whoever causes trouble has to compensate everyone."
Qin Siyang scratched his hair.
"I know. This is so annoying. All sorts of random people keep coming to cause me trouble."
"The Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce..."
Zhao Sifang suddenly thought of something.
"Second Uncle, isn't that the chamber of commerce that got rich through smuggling and then cleaned up its reputation?"
"Yes."
"I remember they have some influence in District 244 next to our District 7. Since they've provoked us, why not take the opportunity to wipe out the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce? After all, the area around District 7. Hehe! We should clean it up a bit too, right?"
Zhao Longfei glanced at Zhao Sifang.
"What do you mean they've provoked us? They hired someone to kill Qin Siyang, not you!"
"But Brother Qin and we..."
Zhao Longfei coughed twice.
"Student Qin is indeed outstanding, and I am very willing to help him resolve this matter. But dealing with a chamber of commerce is not such a simple thing. It requires manpower and resources. A lot has to be invested."
"Second Uncle, the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce isn't even in the top twenty inside the safe zone. It's not that troublesome..."
"How many times have I told you? Use my title when we're outside!"
"Oh... Principal Zhao."
"Anyway, Little Qin, I'm willing to find a way to help you deal with the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce, but..."
Qin Siyang gave a mocking smile, "You want something in return?"
Zhao Longfei rubbed his chin, "Uh, well, not exactly. Mainly considering..."
"Enough. Stop pretending. Everyone here knows what kind of person you are. Just say it openly. I want to know who ordered the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce. What will it take for you to help me dig out the person behind it?"
Zhao Longfei revealed a warm smile, "Little Qin really is straightforward! Didn't you just complete five school point missions? It didn't seem to take much effort, so how about five mo—"
He paused, "Three more. Three missions, and I'll help you deal with the Tranquil Night Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?"
Zhao Sifang's eyes nearly popped out.
'What the hell?'
'Isn't this basically trying to offend Brother Qin to death?'
Zhao Longfei knew Qin Siyang had turned in five Nightmare Octopuses to complete the missions. Did he actually think Qin Siyang had risked his life and killed only five Nightmare Octopuses?
There were more than twenty storage boxes on Qin Siyang, all filled with Nightmare Octopus corpses.
And they had already agreed to give some to the Zhao family.
Zhao Sifang looked at Qin Siyang again.
He could clearly feel that Qin Siyang's mood was off.
'Brother Qin is angry.'
After this, there was a good chance he would not give the Zhao family any Nightmare Octopus corpses as compensation.
'No way!'
Zhao Sifang quickly spoke up.
"Se... Principal Zhao, I think helping President Qin doesn't necessarily require compensation. We're all on the same side..."
"Don't talk! Standing there selling your grandfather's land without the slightest concern."
"But..."
"I'm talking with Little Qin. Why do you keep butting in? One more word and I'll kick you out!"
Seeing the anger in Zhao Longfei's eyes, Zhao Sifang sighed and could only stay silent.
The contempt in Qin Siyang's smile deepened, "Fine. Then it's settled. Principal Zhao, a promise once made cannot be taken back."
Zhao Longfei laughed loudly.
"So many people are watching. Who could go back on their word? How could I? If I broke my promise to a kid like you, I'd have no shame left. How would I be any different from a stray dog by the roadside?"
