Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 660 - 495: Unable to Recover After a Setback_4

Rainbow lounged on the sofa, languidly sipping a bottle of strawberry-flavored yogurt through a straw.

Today, Aviloya was dressed in a fitted uniform, which made her look capable and refined. She asked directly, "Has Gong Shuxu told you about what the Digital Group has been doing in the Star State?"

Chen Gu nodded.

"The Star State has sent a second encrypted letter. They hope we can send someone to help them deal with the Digital Group's matters."

Chen Gu was startled. "Has the situation gotten out of control?"

Given the Star State's typical behavior, if they had any other options, they would never have humbled themselves to ask the Confederation for help.

Aviloya nodded. "Although the Star State has kept a tight lid on information, we've received reliable news that the moss virus has completely overrun one of their colonial planets."

Chen Gu asked, "Do you want me to go?"

Aviloya said, "You are one of the candidates."

Of course, Chen Gu was reluctant to go.

Aviloya sighed lightly. "The Star State is shameless. Over the years, they've engaged in quite a few conspiracies against us and other major Star Nations. However, humanity's greatest enemy is still the Alien Insect Race."

Chen Gu rolled his eyes and asked, "What benefits has the Star State offered?"

Rainbow snickered from the side. This kid really understands Aviloya, she thought.

Aviloya paused before replying, "A complete super-life form."

Chen Gu's eyes widened. "The Star State is that affluent?"

"Don't be envious just yet," Aviloya said. "Given the Star State's... character, we'd be lucky to get even half of what they promised."

"We need to perfectly help them resolve this crisis to get the reward. And how much we've helped in this crisis will be entirely up to the Star State to decide."

"In the end, if they feel our contribution was only 20%, then we'll only get 20% of a super-life form."

"Moreover, they always promise all sorts of wonderful things, but when it comes to paying up, they are stingy and drag their feet. Even for that 20%, I estimate it would take three to five years to get it."

Chen Gu stroked his chin, humming thoughtfully for a moment, but didn't speak.

Aviloya knew him well. "How much do you want?"

Chen Gu didn't beat around the bush. "I... harbor resentment against the Star State. I can help, but they have to bleed a lot."

Aviloya's eyes suddenly twinkled. "Let's make it simpler. You go and negotiate with the Star State. Whatever you manage to get from them, I'll give you 20%."

Chen Gu immediately felt he had fallen into a trap. "You planned this from the start, didn't you?"

Aviloya raised her eyebrows and didn't deny it, as Rainbow giggled on the side.

"You harbor hatred for the Star State. Now is the perfect opportunity to fleece them. Whether or not you can truly vent your frustrations and make them pay for it, that's all up to your own abilities."

After thinking it over, Chen Gu clenched his teeth and said, "Fine, I'm in!"

When Chen Gu left Aviloya's office, he was full of aggressive energy. How can I cut a piece of flesh from the Star State?! he schemed.

As soon as he got back to the Special Action Squad's floor, the impish Selena quietly approached him. "Something's not right," she said, glancing towards the Independent Action Squad next door.

"What's wrong?" Chen Gu knew the matter between him and Gao Deng wasn't over. Gao Deng was a clone, and he would surely appear again inside the headquarters building. But it shouldn't be this soon, he mused. After all, even with previous experience, it would take time to advance to the Seventh Energy Level again.

"Those three fierce women, who previously wouldn't have dared to swagger before us, have inexplicably come out flaunting themselves several times today. Each time they look our way, their gaze is very unfriendly."

Chen Gu laughed. "Aren't you being paranoid? I'm also surprised, why are you so afraid of those three women?"

Selena shrank her neck. "Instinct?"

Chen Gu pushed her back into her office, then opened the interstellar network to search for information, contemplating how to negotiate with the Star State.

But the next morning, the situation really did take a turn for the worse.

He drove himself to work. Upon reaching the entrance of the headquarters building, he saw the three female professionals from the Xiaogasa Family. They were dressed in their family's complex traditional attire, looking flamboyant as they stood at the entrance, apparently to graciously welcome someone.

When Chen Gu entered, the three female professionals also saw him, their eyes filled with provocation and disdain.

Chen Gu couldn't be bothered to argue with a group of women. Still... they actually look quite good in those clothes, much more pleasing to the eye than before, he thought.

"Young Master!" Just as he entered, he heard the coquettish cheers of the three female professionals from behind. A luxurious and expensive maglev car had stopped at the building's entrance. Xiaoga Yexiong stepped out with a majestic stride.

The three female professionals immediately clung to him, looking as if they couldn't wait to hang onto his body.
