I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 886 - 860: The 19th Badge

"If you discover those impersonating the Commander, report to the Jia Family immediately, understand?" In a dimly lit environment, a harsh and shrill voice suddenly echoed.

Following swiftly was a voice full of humility:

"Understood, understood."

"If I encounter them, I will certainly report to the Jia Family."

Even though the environment was chaotic and dark, Zhang Xinying could still gather some understanding of the situation outside from the foreign noises.

Inside a dilapidated and low house in Tam Village, a middle-aged man stood at the door, speaking to an elderly man:

"Good that you understand."

This person was wearing the attire of the Jia Family's Guard Commander, looking far more splendid than that of an ordinary guard.

After the middle-aged man spoke, he shouted inside:

"Have you finished the search? Found anything?"

At this moment, guards from the Jia Family successively walked out, saying:

"No sir."

"Found nothing unusual."

"Sir, there's nothing here."

The Guard Commander nodded and said:

"Alright, wait for me outside."

Once everyone had left, only then did the Guard Commander turn to the elderly man before him and say:

"Old Xu, let me tell you, don't do anything foolish!"

"The death of our Jia Family's lady has truly enraged the Great Elder."

"Even if the City Lord of Nova City came, those people must die."

"I'm only telling you all this because you helped me back in the day."

Having said that, the Guard Commander cast a meaningful glance at a cluttered pile in the corner.

That one look made the old man tremble all over.

However, it was clear the other party did not intend to expose anything, patting the thin shoulder of the old man, saying:

"Someone will be coming to recheck soon."

"Watch out for yourself."

Saying this, he turned and left.

At this time, the old man's forehead was already sweating profusely, bowing respectfully to the departing group, saying:

"Farewell, esteemed guests."

When they moved on to the next household, the old man hurriedly returned inside and carefully closed the door.

But when he turned around, to his shock, Zhang Xinying was already standing behind him.

The sight startled the old man.

He quickly said:

"Child, why did you come out? Quickly, hide back inside!"

However, Zhang Xinying shook her head and said:

"Grandpa."

"Thank you for being willing to help me."

"But I can't bring trouble upon you because of my issues. I must leave now."

Zhang Xinying had clearly heard every word the Guard Commander had said earlier.

She could discern the hidden meaning behind his words.

Thus, after they left, she carefully emerged, preparing to leave.

The old man, hearing Zhang Xinying's words, became anxious and said:

"You heard just now."

"These people from the Jia Family have completely lost it; they've already killed three Commanders."

"Going out now is like throwing your life away, child."

"Why don't you stay until nightfall before you leave?"

Zhang Xinying smiled gently upon hearing this and said:

"Thank you, grandpa."

"But I really don't want to drag you into this because of me. I must leave here as soon as possible."

Though she did not understand what was happening outside exactly.

Zhang Xinying could still gather a general idea from their fragmented conversations.

Facing the mad "rabid dog" that is the Jia Family.

If they knew she was hiding here, the old man would certainly die.

Zhang Xinying couldn't bear to watch someone die because of her.

Despite the old man persisting in urging her to stay, Zhang Xinying cautiously made her way to the backyard.

The old man seeing that Zhang Xinying had made up her mind, sighed and said to her:

"Yet you know going out means probable death, and still, you want to go. Is it truly because you fear burdening me?"

"I am but an old man; if I die, I die."

"But you are different. Child, you are still young; you shouldn't take this risk."

Just as Zhang Xinying was about to climb over the wall, her movements paused.

But soon she turned to the old man, resolute in her words:

"Every life deserves respect."

"I am no different from you."

"I cannot put your life at risk for my safety."

Having said that, Zhang Xinying left a sweet smile, then leapt over the wall directly.

As Zhang Xinying landed in the alley outside the wall, a voice suddenly emerged from within:

"Take this."

Zhang Xinying lifted her head in surprise.

She saw a silver badge suddenly thrown out from within the wall.

Instinctively, Zhang Xinying reached out to catch it, and the next moment, the old man's voice came again:

"You have moved me with your kindness."

"If you become the leader of the Hundred Races, remember what you just said."

Zhang Xinying instinctively caught the badge, her eyes filled with emotion.

She couldn't have imagined that the old man was also one of the evaluators; could there really be such coincidence in this world?

Suddenly, she thought of that fallen figure, and just as she was lost in thought, a sharp shout shattered her reverie:

"Look quickly, there she is."

"Catch her, don't let her escape."

Regaining her senses, Zhang Xinying turned to see a group of people pursuing her.

No time to think, Zhang Xinying quickly placed the badge into her backpack, then ran toward the other end of the alley.

...

Meanwhile, within the Celestial God Hall.

An elderly woman, barely a meter tall, suddenly appeared.

Lin Yi knew this was Aiximilian, the Clan Leader of the Dwarf Clan.

Seeing her return, Lin Yi's eyes flickered with a trace of difference:

'Why has she returned?'

Her return meant the President in Babylon from Tam Village had yet to be seized.

As soon as she appeared, she began searching among the crowd, quickly noticing Lin Yi and walking over.

Upon approaching, she bowed to Lin Yi and said:

"Greetings, Saint Master."

Looking at this person from the Dwarf Clan before him, who was barely even waist-high, Lin Yi immediately squatted down and said:

"Hello, Clan Leader Miliyan."

This was Lin Yi's first time speaking to her with this identity.

But this small gesture of Lin Yi squatting down deeply touched the clan leader from the Dwarf Clan.

For it was the first time she felt what it meant to be respected.

Though she did not show it, she apologized to Lin Yi with a regretful face:

"I'm sorry I couldn't help her through to the end."

Hearing this, although Lin Yi was a bit concerned about Zhang Xinying's situation,

he mostly felt helpless gratitude towards the person before him, saying:

"No!"

"You've helped her more than enough."

"Whether she makes it to the end, depends on herself."

The person before him was indeed the older man named Xu from before, and it had been Lin Yi's suggestion for Zhang Xinying to head that way initially.

However, Lin Yi hadn't anticipated that the old man was actually the Clan Leader of the Dwarf Clan.

Their conversation wasn't intentionally subdued, so everyone around heard it clearly.

However, some felt discontented with Lin Yi's "introverted" behavior, but had no reason to criticize him.

After all, Lin Yi's actions before hadn't broken any rules.

Aiximilian smiled slightly and said:

"I believe she can make it to the end."

Lin Yi smiled back:

"Let's hope so."

...

"Holy Light Guardian!"

A newly formed Holy Light Shield was instantly shattered by a scorching flame:

"Boom~" it sounded.

Zhang Xinying staggered back in disarray.

The elder clad in a purple robe advanced toward Zhang Xinying, gritting his teeth:

"All of you should die."

A living, vibrant snake of fire erupted from the elder, spewing fiery flames.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Zhang Xinying, teasingly speaking while having their back to her:

"Let's team up to kill this old guy."

Zhang Xinying stared in shock at the person in front of her:

"Drunkard, aren't you..."
