Chapter 97: Fang Xiu Exposed

Fang Xiu had met many unusual psychics. For example, Lin Ziyang, who was too proud, Wang Yanran, who was too good at flirting, Wang Erni, who always blamed others for her errors, and Shen Lingxue, who got angry quickly. So, when he met someone more worried about being low on his girlfriend's list of boyfriends than her being unfaithful, Fang Xiu wasn't impressed.

He was used to this. All he could say was, "Hmm, that sounds like what a psychic would say."

Fang Xiu often criticized others reflecting on what he himself had done or said. He would say dramatic things like, "I want the world to suffer! Honey, I'll get back eventually one day and let you suffer all I've suffered! No one can kill me eighteen times and get away with it!"

As a weird psychic himself, he couldn't really judge others.

"Mr. Fang, why did you mark 'finish' on Wang Yanran's task?" Manager Cheng asked, surprised.

"Because I've already defeated Wang Yanran."

Fang Xiu calmly showed a badge from Bright Club with Wang Yanran's name on it.

Seeing the badge, Manager Cheng was shocked and became more polite. "Okay, Mr. Fang, we'll send your reward after confirming Wang Yanran's death."

"I also completed the mission about Lin Ziyang. I killed him too. It looks like he lost control of his energy and lost his badge. I disposed of his body, so it might be hard for you to check."

Manager Cheng was scared and suddenly felt a bit fearful to look at Fang Xiu.

For someone who talked so calmly about such harsh actions, it was better for him to show as much respect as he could.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, we'll check it thoroughly."

Fang Xiu nodded and left. Manager Cheng bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Mr. Fang, take care and come back anytime!"

After Fang Xiu left, Manager Cheng quickly called someone and said, "Hurry! Contact the leader of Bright Club, Ma Wenbin. I have important news, five hundred energy coins! Now, quickly! Or he may die!"

That night, Greenvine's psychic community was shocked, knowing that a guy named Fang Xiu was challenging Bright Club.

Soon after, Ma Wenbin made a call, and his expression changed.

"What? Wang Yanran attacked Fang Xiu and others from the Investigation Bureau and was defeated because of it? Fang Xiu took all the tasks related to Bright Club? He has the bronze candlestick too? You're saying, Lin Ziyang and Wang Yanran's death are all Fang Xiu's deeds, and now he's challenging Bright Club? Who is this Fang Xiu? Why is he going after us?"

The next day, Fang Xiu was called to Wang Dehai's office. He thought it was about his conflict with Shen Lingxue, but it was actually about Bright Club. To Fang Xiu's surprise, Shen Lingxue didn't tell Wang Dehai about their confrontation.

"Fang Xiu, here are two thousand energy coins from Bright Club. Ma Wenbin says the attack on our team was his people acting on their own, not the Club's doing. I know about your issues. I hope you'll accept this as a settlement since Greenvine is in trouble. We need all the help we can get."

Wang Dehai looked serious.

"Latest update: the entire west part of the city has been overtaken. We tried to move people, but some couldn't leave in time. Even though we're keeping the bad news quiet, the impact is huge. The whole city is panicking."

Due to the public's panic and fear, Nightmare was growing stronger and spreading faster. Already, many psychics had been dragged into its dream realm.

"We've already asked for backups from headquarters, but they are also short-staffed. It would take at least two days for the backups to arrive."

"Do you really think we can count on the Bright to fight against Nightmare? Instead of letting them feed the Nightmare, it might be better to eliminate them beforehand," Fang Xiu said calmly.

His words were harsh but true. Nightmare wasn't a simple Specter that could be overcome simply by numbers. On the contrary, the more useless people there were, the more fear they would provide. The more psychic Spiritual Energy Nightmare consumed, the stronger it became.

"True, but in the face of such a terrifying enemy, if the Investigation Bureau acts against Bright Club, it will cause unrest among the people"

The sounds of hurried footsteps interrupted Wang Dehai, and suddenly, the door was pushed open with a loud bang.

A staff member with an anxious expression burst into the room.

"Sir! Bai Qi has been pulled into the dream realm!"

"What!" Wang Dehai stood up abruptly. "When did this happen?"
