Then let them offer their loyalty!

Holding the "Hundred-Eyed Vision" in his hand, Qiu Tu walked up to the whale shark.

Before he died, the whale shark had an expression of disbelief on his face, clearly unable to understand how Qiu Tu, a mere monkey, could kill him with a single blow.

But actually... Qiu Tu wanted to tell him that he was not wronged at all.

After all, Qiu Tu had told him before the attack: nine out of ten gamblers lose, unless he becomes the bookmaker.

In the entire "New Territories area", the only one who can be called a dealer is Qiu Tu.

Who told him to be the lord of the region?

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the whole process of how he plotted against the whale.

Actually... Lariluo's guess was quite accurate. Qiu Tu was able to kill the whale shark because of the combination of his regional master status and his cataclysmic abilities.

Qiu Tu's cataclysmic ability, "Order Space," works only among those of the same level; however, the greater the difference in strength, the greater the energy consumption. But to say that he is invincible among those of the same level is no exaggeration.

This is also why, when he first entered the fourth rank, he was able to directly "tether" Xie Yue's soul, preventing him from escaping.

However, for Qiu Tu, who had just entered the fourth rank, fighting against these evil gods was too much of a burden and too dangerous.

Therefore, he remained silent and bided his time, waiting for the right opportunity.

It wasn't until he was officially promoted to Director of the New Territories City Investigation Department and his strength rose to the mid-stage of the fourth rank that he finally had the confidence to take action against the evil god.

At that time, Qiu Tu had calculated that with his mid-stage fourth-order strength, combined with the "Order Space," he would be able to deal with most of the evil gods.

And if he also has the home-field advantage of being a "regional lord," then the only ones he needs to be wary of are the peak fourth-tier and the fifth-tier evil god. (Chapter 409)

Having made such a judgment about its strength, Qiu Tu also began to secretly investigate the strength of the whale shark.

The intelligence channels of the Investigation Bureau do not have information about the strength of the whale shark, but... don't forget that Qiu Tu has La Ri Luo, the evil god's traitor.

After several rounds of subtle probing, Qiu Tu successfully learned from La Riluo that the whale shark was likely a late-stage fourth-tier evil god. (Chapter 425)

The Whale Shark's cataclysmic pathway is "Life," which is suppressed in the "New Territory" with its "Order" attribute. Therefore, he cannot even unleash the full power of a late-stage fourth-tier cultivator.

As for Qiu Tu, thanks to the dual bonuses of "regional attribute" and "regional master", his strength, while not reaching the late stage of the fourth tier, is not far off.

This can be said to have further narrowed the gap in strength between the two.

Even so, the prudent Qiu Tu still felt uneasy.

Then... he remembered his ultimate ability as the "Lord of the Region": setting rules. (Chapter 369)

The effect of this ultimate ability is that Qiu Tu can set any rules in the "New Territories Area," and all living beings in this area must abide by his rules.

If the rules are violated, Qiu Tu can impose various punishments, including but not limited to disability, imprisonment, forced labor, and death.

That's why... he's been sending dark soldiers to keep an eye on the whale shark these past few days. He wants to set up a special rule specifically for the whale shark.

After all, the more stringent, complex, and targeted the rules are, the fewer creatures will violate them, the weaker they will be, and the lower the cost will be.

Therefore... when Qiu Tu faced the whale shark in battle, he set a condition: a long-haired male, with strength exceeding the fourth rank, within 20 meters of me, engaging in more than five sentences of conversation with me, and using insulting language...

Because it was specifically designed for this purpose, the whale shark quickly violated the rules.

But at that time, Qiu Tu did not punish him directly. Instead, he used "Order Space" to forcibly raise his strength to the peak of the fourth tier, to the point where he had the ability to break shields!

Thus, Qiu Tu broke the shield with a single move!

Immediately after "sealing" the whale's abilities, he killed the whale with a single blow!

With its abilities restricted, the whale shark, unable to mobilize the power of cataclysm like La Ri Luo, was completely powerless against Qiu Tu!

This also made the entire operation clean, efficient, and incredibly stylish, with a strong visual impact!

But in reality... Qiu Tu had been planning for a full one or two months for those few seconds of showing off. He had been preparing ever since he first entered the fourth tier.

Even his swordsmanship... was something Qiu Tu learned little by little after "fighting" with Tang Feifei. (Chapters 280, 329, 330)

Of course... the reason it has such power is entirely due to the enhancement of "order space" and the element of surprise.

Even so...

After defeating the whale shark, Qiu Tu immediately stopped his "Order Space" and secretly replenished his energy using the "Boundless Divine Crystals" covering his entire body.

According to his estimate, these two simple moves alone would consume one-fifth of an evil god's "Boundless Divine Crystal".

However... fortunately, he slew an evil god and obtained a whole "Boundless Divine Crystal." The return on investment is equivalent to five times the initial investment.

Moreover, slaying the evil god not only yields the "Boundless Divine Crystal," but also merits for the sanctuary!

Qiu Tu asked Chen Feng to bring "Hundred-Eye Vision" so that he could record the entire process of killing the whale shark and prove his merits.

Although the presence of Qiu Tu's aura on the evil god's corpse was enough to prove that Qiu Tu killed the whale shark, the prudent Qiu Tu still recorded everything to prevent future disputes and made thorough preparations.

Thinking this, he put the whale's corpse, which was slowly transforming into "Boundless Divine Crystal," into the dimensional space, thus paying back the price owed by the ultimate abilities of "Order Space" and "Regional Lord."

Qiu Tu straightened up, then looked at the magnificent landscape, his heart filled with pride.

Before making this plan, Qiu Tu was actually a little uneasy, fearing that some unexpected accidents might happen.

In the end, everything turned out perfectly.

This allows Qiu Tu, who has verified this "combination technique," to truly say: Below the fifth rank, I am invincible!

Well... the premise is that it's in the "New Territories area," and... he needs to be fully prepared in all aspects.

And so, a great battle came to an end.

Soon after Qiu Tu's battle with the whale shark ended, the war between the dark soldiers and the boat amberjack also came to a conclusion.

With the help of five special forces soldiers, these "high-end combat forces," the Dark Soldiers swiftly and decisively defeated the small teams of the Amberjack.

The boat-tailed fish suffered heavy casualties; of the more than 300 boat-tailed fish, only 150 or 160 survived.

The Dark Soldiers suffered only seven or eight casualties and more than a dozen serious injuries. It can be said that they won a great victory.

As the dark soldiers carried the corpses of Zhouyin one by one into the underground base—the corpses of Zhouyin were also a good source of catastrophe material—Qiu Tu and La Riluo sat on the treetops chatting idly.

Qiu Tu glanced at La Riluo, whose face was still filled with shock, and then asked with a smile, "Does Your Highness regret not agreeing to fight the whale shark with me?"

"If you had agreed back then, that area of ​​whale sharks would be yours now."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Rilu rolled her eyes dramatically and then scoffed.

She braced herself against a tree branch, her little feet dangling in the air, swaying back and forth. "Do you think I'm stupid? Even if I fight the whale shark with you, you're most likely just using me, and you won't actually return the 'Lord of the Region' to me."

"You might not even use your full strength. Most likely, you'll push me to the front and fight the whale to the death, then you'll reap the benefits."

Larilu exposed him without any mercy, but Qiu Tu didn't blush at all. "Slander! This is slander!"

He looked at Lariro and said, "Your Highness, how could you think of your follower like that?"

"I am your Pope, have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo practically rolled her eyes to the sky.

However, at that moment, she suddenly seemed to remember something and paused for a moment.

Then her eyes darted around, and she suddenly changed her tone from mockery to seriousness, saying, "Qiu Tu, you're right."

"I may indeed have some misunderstandings about you."

"Even though you've toyed with me, imprisoned me, and betrayed me, but... to put it another way, don't I have absolutely no problems?"

Qiu Tu:? ?

Larilu continued, "Besides, even if you treat me like this, I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

"I almost lost my life, but you...you...you..."

La Ri Luo wanted to find a negative aspect of Qiu Tu's recent life, but when she thought about Qiu Tu's promotion, raise, and numerous affairs with beauties in the New Territories over the past few months, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

So she simply skipped that part, grabbed Qiu Tu's hand, and said with a serious expression on her beautiful face, "So, I think I should still trust you!"

Qiu Tu:? ? ?

Qiu Tu withdrew his hand from La Riluo's soft little hand and gently placed it on La Riluo's forehead.

Hmm... no fever.

Seeing this, La Riluo immediately understood what Qiu Tu was thinking. She reached out and slapped Qiu Tu's hand away, then said, "Don't misunderstand. I'm fine!"

"I just suddenly realized something."

"You do all that just to please me, don't you?"

"I accept your proposal."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Qiu Tu glanced at La Riluo suspiciously, feeling as if La Riluo had suddenly acquired a fox tail...

'What is this evil goddess girl up to now?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu casually said, "Then... shall we sleep together tonight?"

Larilu: .....

Lari's expression froze for a moment.

Even so, she still nodded with a charming smile and said, "Okay. No problem~~~"

"Then go back and rest, take a shower, and I'll come find you later."

Hearing this, even a fool, let alone Qiu Tu, could guess that La Riluo was definitely up to something else.

But... I must say, Lariro's little schemes that are so obvious are actually quite interesting.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't expose him directly, but deliberately showed a look of surprise and said, "Okay. Then I'll wait for you, Your Highness."

After they finished speaking, the two chatted for a few more minutes before Qiu Tu turned the world upside down and left "Boundless Heart Sea".

Back in the real world, Qiu Tu went to the bathroom to wash his face, then softly called out, "A-Shui."

The next second, a dark soldier appeared beside Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu said, "Let 'the old man' follow La Riluo and see what she's planning to do."

"Okay, Brother Tu," Ah Shui replied, then disappeared from the real world.

Watching Ah Shui's figure disappear, Qiu Tu shook his head with a smile.

Tsk... I agree to pursue you. Would you like to sleep together?

Your Highness, Your Highness. Do you think you can go back on your word just because you've agreed to something?

Two chapters, 10,000 words each, please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 430 Larilu escaped again! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu is actually the least afraid of others owing him money or breaking promises he made.

After all... truth lies within the reach of fists.

Qiu Tu is practically invincible under certain limited circumstances.

Especially when facing a weaker evil god like Larilu, Qiu Tu didn't even need the "New Territories Area" bonus to capture her.

Therefore, as long as Larilu doesn't run off to a place where Qiu Tu can't find her, Qiu Tu can always catch her and bring her back to keep his promise.

So, Qiu Tu is now only curious about what La Riluo is really up to.

What ulterior motive could make her spout nonsense and agree to any condition...?

With this question in mind, Qiu Tu put on his uniform and then left the lounge.

At this moment, Song Qing was already in the office, listlessly tidying up Qiu Tu's desk.

Since Tan Huimin volunteered to go for training, Qiu Tu has been without a personal secretary.

Although the position of personal secretary is not high, it is a key position because it is an extension of the director's power.

Therefore, Qiu Tu must find a trustworthy confidant who will not cause trouble in his name to fill this position.

It's not that Song Qing meets the criteria, it's just that... Qiu Tu really doesn't have any other female confidantes around him.

He can't possibly choose a male confidant to hang around in front of him every day, can he?

He already has a male secretary; if another one comes along, Qiu Tu worries that he won't even be able to muster any interest in his work.

So he simply transferred Song Qing over to cover for him for a couple of days. Then he would slowly look for a suitable replacement.
