"I hope you can achieve this dream." Gao Gen, not inclined to waste words with this person, said, "I advise you to behave yourself. If I catch you trying anything funny, don't blame me for making you lose face. I'll make sure you end up lying on the ground, unable to get up."

"Brothers, please don't argue. We still need to finish the task together," Du Wanting said softly. At this moment, the two police officers were merely following from a distance, keeping an eye on Du Wanting. Their only responsibility was to watch over her, and there was no need for them to put themselves in danger.

They were just low-ranking officers, their abilities far from impressive.

"Du Wanting, is it? Are you here for the transfer task as well?" Lin Han stepped forward, curious about what Du Wanting had discussed with the police.

Du Wanting nodded. "I just reached level ten and picked up the transfer quest. In the afternoon, I was taken away by the police. So, my apologies."

Lin Han smiled. "It's nothing, just two officers. If I can't handle things myself, maybe I'll need their help."

"Since they're already here, they can't just ignore my safety, can they?"

"If they really do, I'll report them. Since they're here, I might as well make use of them."

Du Wanting smiled gently at his words. "I didn't expect you to think of so much. I was worried you all might not adapt well."

"It's fine," Lin Han replied, his tone gentle. "By the way, you don't seem the type to get into trouble. What did you do?"

Du Wanting answered, "Sorry. They said I can't talk about it yet, so I can't tell you."

Lin Han pondered aloud, "Let me guess. The only big event in Misty Cloud City lately was what happened in the Diamond Forest."

"Are you the informant?"

At his words, the other two turned their gaze toward her. The incident in Misty Cloud City had spread across the capital, and everyone was curious about the battle between the powerful figures.

"You misunderstand. How could someone like me be involved in such a major event?" Du Wanting replied, a bit awkward. "Besides, I haven't even completed my second job transition. How could I possibly go to the Diamond Forest to level up? That would be suicide."

Lin Han looked disappointed. "I thought you’d met those powerful people. Sorry for prying."

Hearing this, Du Wanting finally felt at ease. She had feared he might actually know some inside information.

She had already told the police everything she could, but they refused to let her go, convinced she knew more secrets. Furthermore, she genuinely didn't know much about that powerful figure—she'd only learned a false name.

She had merely leveled up with his help, yet the police kept pressing her.

She felt helpless.

It was rumored that the government of Misty Cloud City had applied to the imperial capital for a mind-reading expert, who would conduct the final interrogation. If nothing turned up then, she would be free.

"Are you a native of Misty Cloud City?" Gao Gen asked Du Wanting.

She nodded. "Yes, my family is from Misty Cloud City. Born and raised here."

"Was it really that terrifying that day?"

"It was. I was out wandering when I saw a massive meteor in the sky heading toward the Diamond Forest. Later, the news reported it was a forbidden spell cast by a Supreme-tier expert."

"Even living near the city center, the tremors were frighteningly strong. Even now, the area near the Diamond Forest is being rebuilt."

Wang Qian couldn't help but say, "Are those people even human? It's like deities battling! If we ever run into such experts by bad luck, don’t hesitate—run as far and fast as you can. Even a stray shockwave could kill us."

"Forget it. With our level, we’ll probably never see such powerful figures," Gao Gen said helplessly.

He’d never seen more than a handful of Supreme-tier experts in his life, let alone witnessed a fight between them.

...

"Wait." Wang Qian suddenly stopped, his gaze wary as he looked ahead, as if something terrifying was approaching.

"Wang, what’s wrong?" Lin Han whispered. He had quietly used God's Eye to scan the entire map. At that moment, a Steel-Striped Tiger was heading their way.

A gold-tier monster!

Wang Qian whispered, "Move slowly backward. I can sense a fierce monster closing in."

"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, run immediately."

"This is an S-ranked quest, so we have to be extremely cautious."

No one objected. Everyone controlled their breathing, afraid that something dreadful would suddenly leap out ahead.

Meanwhile, Lin Han was deep in thought.

A gold-tier monster—could these people handle it?

Among them, the strongest was Wang Qian, a level-30 Guardian Knight, a combat class. He wasn't sure about the other two.

But the referee had once exchanged blows with him, and Lin Han sensed the referee's strength was, at most, level thirty. As for Du Wanting, she was barely preparing for her second transition—she could only run if faced with a gold-tier monster.

Of course, a gold-tier monster was weak before him, but with so many people around, he couldn’t expose his true strength.

With the police present, any exposure could mean being summoned for questioning. He understood that very well.

So, in front of so many people, he could only use Gao Chong’s abilities to assist in battle.

"Careful, it's coming," Wang Qian quickly warned. "Chong, you and Du Wanting stay at the back. If you get a chance to ambush, do it. If not, keep yourselves safe. Leave the front to me and Gao Gen."

"Alright, Wang. If you need anything, just let me know," Lin Han replied without hesitation. Only those two had real combat power here.

Wang Qian looked at Gao Gen. "You alright?"

"Relax. I’m definitely stronger than you."
