My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing-Chapter 232 - 138: Who is the Traitor? (Part 1)_2

Before long, the tender and juicy bear meat was sizzling and smoking.

Chen Yu, one skewer in each hand, grilled in a flustered manner.

The edges were all charred.

To the side, a young man with earrings shook his head and advised, "Buddy, that’s not how you grill meat. You need to slice it open in the middle to let it heat evenly. And don’t poke it into the fire. Are you trying to make a mummy out of this?"

Chen Yu hesitated, then took out his sister’s canine "swish swish" two slashes down.

The charred ring of bear meat was cut off.

Then, another "swish swish" two slashes.

The two skewers of meat blossomed.

"Like this?" Chen Yu turned and asked.

"Yeah. Stay a bit further from the fire, right. Keep turning it." The man with earrings nodded, eyeing the tooth for a moment: "That’s a pretty strange weapon you have there. Saw you use it in the arena. What’s it called?"

"My sister’s ’White Fang’."

"’White Fang’…," the man with earrings chuckled: "Interesting."

"You saw my match?" Chen Yu asked again.

"Yeah, saw it. Watched it live," the man with earrings withdrew his own meat from the grill and sniffed it: "Not just me, all the Transcendents at the time probably did. Very stylish."

"Thanks."

"So many years, never felt so relaxed and satisfying." Smacking his lips, the man with earrings cast a sidelong glance: "What a pity, though. Satisfaction comes at a price."

At these words, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

But remained silent.

"Dude, where did you hide yesterday?" the man with earrings asked: "In the government task hall, they even issued a wanted notice for you. And you still managed to hide for a whole day. Quite capable."

"Oh. Just hid somewhere haphazardly." Chen Yu replied nonchalantly.

"This time, including you in the diplomatic team…" the man with earrings looked around, leaned in close to Chen Yu, and whispered: "they’re thinking of using you as a gift for the Enforcement Center, aren’t they?"

Chen Yu: "Why would you say that?"

"Heh," the man with earrings curled his lip in disdain: "A Transcendent with unheard of dual abilities, how novel. The higher-ups definitely want to use you to suspend the issuance of the ’War Authorization Document.’ A bunch of cowards."

"Seems like you’re a hawk?" Chen Yu was surprised.

"I don’t belong to any faction." The man with earrings spat into the fire: "I just think those at the top are shortsighted. You’re a rare talent that comes once in a millennium. Wouldn’t nurturing you properly be more important than some ’War Authorization Document’?"

"It’s not as simple as that." Suddenly, a voice came from above the two.

Chen Yu was startled and looked up sharply.

He saw another unfamiliar Transcendent.

"Here, cumin and salt, want some?" The unfamiliar Transcendent passed over a small bag of seasoning: "I knew we’d end up grilling on this mission, so I brought quite a few spices."

"…" Chen Yu fell silent for a moment, then reached out and accepted it: "Thanks."

"No problem." The unfamiliar transcendent sat down beside Chen Yu casually, his tone wistful: "Things here aren’t as simple as you make them out to be."

"So what then?" the man with earrings asked emotionlessly: "Your dad is one of the higher-ups, do you have some insider information or something?"

"Sort of," the unfamiliar Transcendent with the mushroom haircut touched his head and chuckled: "The discord within the upper ranks is getting bigger and bigger. Before we assembled, all the B-level executives went back to the capital for a meeting, especially to fiercely debate over how to deal with Chen Yu."

"Tell me more," Chen Yu’s eyes gleamed.

"There are roughly three proposals." The mushroom-haired Transcendent brushed off some char from the meat and took a bite, mumbling: "The first proposal, to use you for irreversible research to unlock the secret behind your dual abilities and see if it can be spread to all Transcendents. After all, the scene of you slaying the Ka Xiu clan in the arena was pretty shocking."

"The second proposal is to focus on nurturing you alongside some research. Although low-intensity research probably won’t yield any results, at least there would be one more capable B-level fighter down the line."

"The third proposal, even simpler, is to use you as a bargaining chip in negotiations, to trade you with the foreign species."

The voice paused slightly, the mushroom-haired Transcendent looked up, glancing towards the armored brute and the young man in the duckbill cap in the distant shadows: "Clearly, the top has chosen the third option."

"Disgraceful." The man with earrings spat again: "A humiliation of our nation."

"Good, my dad said the same thing at the meeting." The mushroom haircut laughed aloud, circled around Chen Yu, and patted the man with earrings on the shoulder: "Those hundred-odd B-levels nearly started a brawl in the hall. But they ultimately couldn’t resist the influence of the Chief Administrator, that big leg."

"Chen Yu." The man with earrings looked at Chen Yu: "If you ask me, you should just run away. There are plenty of B-levels up there who want to nurture you. If you run, can the diplomatic squad abandon their mission? Would they waste a few more days to catch you?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." The mushroom haircut’s complexion changed: "That’s desertion! Don’t drag me into wanting to die."

"Anyway, going to the Enforcement Center is a death sentence for him," the man with earrings curled his lip.

"That’s indeed a good idea." Chen Yu smiled, a subtle glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Worth considering."

"Well, that’s the situation." The man with earrings shrugged.

"My meat’s ready." Chen Yu stood up: "I’ll bring some to my girl and come back to chat."

"Bye." The man with earrings stared intently at his own meat.

"Go ahead." The mushroom-haired Transcendent smiled: "Don’t listen to his nonsense."

"Mm-hm."

Chen Yu, with two skewers in hand, walked away.
