Chapter 433: I See You’re Afraid of Losing a Workhorse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Olive’s brother didn’t tell her how dangerous Han Zhengzhi really was. But when they collaborated with the military once again, her brother had to interact with Han Zhengzhi.

On the first day of contact, Olive’s brother came home and told Olive, “Stay away from Han Zhengzhi; this person is different from normal people.”

At that time, Olive was curious and asked, “What’s different? He looks no different from an ordinary person to me.”

Olive’s brother’s lips twitched at that moment as if he wanted to pry open Han Zhengzhi’s head. But he patiently explained, “I had my first contact with him today; I’ll tell you more tomorrow. Remember, no matter what he gives you, don’t accept it.”

Olive found it somewhat amusing at the time and wondered if it was really necessary to be that extent.

Han Zhengzhi was with the military and he had collaborated with the military many times before, and Olive’s family members were even working as advisors there. Her brother didn’t say much more. After all, it was the first day of contact.

However, in just a few days, Olive’s brother seemed to secretly investigate Han Zhengzhi. More accurately, he had a conversation with him. He used the conversation as a pretext to probe.

This was when Olive learned that there were people in the world who were outwardly similar to normal people but were actually the results of experiments.

Olive explained, “They appear normal, but their brains have been modified through experiments. Even their bodily functions have been altered through medication.”

Olive told Su Bai everything she knew.

Su Bail s mouth twitched.

Olive continued, “Even something akin to artificial intelligence, except it’s covered in human skin, while inside it’s something that has been modified and experimented on. That’s what my brother seems to think so. There are people from Han Zhengzhi’s organization watching him closely.”

No matter how much Su Bai asked further, Olive didn’t seem to know much more. But the information was quite useful for Su Bai.

Su Bai said, “I think I’ve got a good understanding now. You don’t need to worry about Han Zhengzhi anymore. He’s already dead, but I saw his body being taken away, which made me curious and came to ask you.”

At first, Olive was surprised to hear that Han Zhengzhi was dead. But then she realized that there wasn’t much to be surprised about. She said, “Being taken away probably means they don’t want others to know about it.”

Then Olive didn’t continue speaking.

Because conducting experiments on humans had always been a taboo for the military. Once the military learned that experimental subjects had infiltrated their ranks, especially someone who had been with the military before and now belonged to the Beast Tamer Association, it felt like a traitor had emerged within their ranks.

Although the military desperately needed individuals with powerful abilities, it was still hard for them to accept these experimental subjects becoming part of the military, especially when they carried the same status as regular people.

Now that Han Zhengzhi had been cast out from the Beastmaster Association, it was hard to imagine it happening now.

Su Bai looked at Olive. He believed that she had told him everything she knew.

However, Su Bai did find himself slightly more interested in Olive now. He asked, “Do you have any interest in joining an intelligence organization?”

Olive looked at Su Bai with confusion and said, “Huh? Boss, I’m really skilled in alchemy!”

Su Bai smiled and said, “Your intelligence-gathering skill is even better.”

Olive didn’t quite understand why Su Bai would think that way, but she knew that Su Bai had high standards.

Su Bai could always see the essence of things. Like Olive, who had grown up in a privileged environment, she probably hadn’t experienced much harm. This time she managed to escape from her family, most likely with their protection.

But what Su Bai felt was that Olive’s brother had simply warned her to stay away from Han Zhengzhi. However, what Olive managed to do was to discern Han Zhengzhi’s true identity through her own speculations and her brother’s actions.

But whatever Han Zhengzhi intended to do was none of Su Bail s concern. He said, “Alright, get back to work.”

Su Bai had already gained a clear understanding of Han Zhengzhi.

With those words, Olive left the room. But because of what Su Bai had said,

Olive kept it in mind. She initially thought about sharing her secret with Yan Xuan and the others because she realized that Yan Xuan trusted her. After all, Su Bai trusted her.

And Su Bai wanted Olive to gain Yan Xuan’s trust through her own actions, which was different from Yan Xuan’s trust in Su Bai. These two approaches had fundamentally different implications.

When Olive reached the entrance with Su Bai, she suddenly bowed to him. That left Su Bai somewhat bewildered.

“Boss, thank you!” said Olive.

Although Su Bai didn’t quite understand, he quickly realized the reason and said, “Alright, go back to work.”

Olive skipped and hopped all the way to their weaponry lab. She sat on her chair and chose to ignore Yan Yi’s worried looks. She smiled at Yan Xuan, which caused Yan Xuan to feel a chill in his spine.

“Did the boss scold you earlier?” Yan Xuan asked.

Yan Xuan’s brow raised and was puzzled. He finds it hard to believe that Olive was just being scolded based on her expressions. Her smile was a little chilly.

Naturally, Yan Yi noticed that as well. To him, Olive’s expression didn’t look like she was just being scolded. He actually felt relieved about that.

Olive chose to ignore Yan Xuan and Yan Yi and said, want to tell you guys a secret.”

Both of them exchanged glances, then turned their attention to Olive and asked, “What secret?”

“Actually, I’m a runaway princess from a kingdom.”

Yan Xuan and Yan Yi chose to remain silent and said, “Good thing you didn’t run too far; we’re quite close to a kingdom here. By the way, is there a reward for reporting you to the kingdom?”

Yan Xuan’s questions made Olive fully realize that he was indeed Su Bail s subordinate. Even their thought processes were similar.

But Su Bai chose to threaten, while Yan Xuan was just joking.

Olive gritted her teeth and said, “If you dare report me, I’ll report to Boss about how you damaged the medicinal materials he cultivated yesterday!”

“You’re ruthless; let’s just pretend we both know what to do.” Yan Xuan suggested.

Olive reached out her hand and said, “Deal!”

Although Olive was joking with them, Yan Xuan finally understood that Olive had escaped from a certain family, and now she clearly didn’t want to return.

Seeing the slightly worried expression on Yan Xuan’s face, Olive sighed, “Don’t worry, it’s not like I escaped from persecution; I was thrown out.”

After hearing her explanation, Yan Xuan felt relieved. He also gestured to Yan

Yi and smirked, “Understood.”

“Teenage rebellion, it’s nothing big; in light of our colleagueship, I won’t report you!”

Olive gritted her teeth and said, “I see you’re afraid that if I leave, you’ll be short one workhorse!”
