Unfortunately, the young man, or rather Sequence One, was not included in this category!
Sequence One winked at Peng Jun, his tone returning to its previous nonchalant manner.
With a leap, he jumped directly from Peng Jun's desk to the floor, pacing back and forth.
"I wasn't sent by anyone in particular, well, to say that is a bit misleading. I was sent by the earth's will!"
"My home planet told me that you have something that doesn't belong to you, so I've come to take it back!"
"Doesn't belong to me? Are you referring to this?"
Hearing Sequence One's words, Peng Jun instead started to laugh, tearing open his collar to reveal the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm on his chest.
"This thing fell right in front of me at the start of the apocalypse, and you say it's not mine? Then whose could it be?"
Upon hearing Peng Jun's words, Sequence One suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked seriously into Peng Jun's eyes, decisively nodding his head.
"That thing was originally prepared for me! So, you are absolutely correct in saying that!"
Peng Jun snickered dismissively.
"You are really interesting!"
Sequence One nodded in acknowledgment: "People who know me always describe me like that."
His thick skin immediately cut off a plethora of Peng Jun's retorts.
Peng Jun gently tightened his collar, looking at Sequence One's face, and calmly asked one last question.
"So, does that mean you absolutely have to take my life today?"
"Correct!"
Upon hearing Sequence One's answer, Peng Jun clenched his fists without saying a word, while the black giant eagle on his shoulder suddenly grew larger!
By the looks of it, Peng Jun's strength had even reached the intensity of a level five professional! Coupled with his identity as a demonic entity, Peng Jun's combat ability was not much weaker than a fierce torrent! Furthermore, with the new sacred beast of the Cult of the Demon Worshippers—the black giant eagle—Peng Jun's power was quite considerable!
This was Peng Jun's greatest trump card—his own strength!
Unfortunately, the only response to Peng Jun was a single line: "Do you really want to fight me? One punch from me, and your little life will be over!"
Then, a wave of black energy blasted directly towards Sequence One's face!
...
One minute later, the door to Peng Jun's office suddenly flew open, and Sequence One's figure slowly walked out from within.
Casually and without a wrinkle in his clothes.
As he walked, Sequence One held two black cylinders, gently shaking them.
The crisp "tinkling" sound inside seemed to weave into a delightful symphony.
After casually closing the door to Peng Jun's office, Sequence One smiled gently at the two guards standing at the entrance.
Instead, the two guards’ eyes were filled with suspicion.
The two had been guarding the door to Peng Jun's office but had never let this guy in!
So...
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Sequence One turned to glance at the two guards and replied without hesitation, "Delivering a package, didn’t I just tell you that?"
"Is... is that so?"
The two guards exchanged glances.
"It seems... yes..."
Then, although their gazes towards Sequence One were still somewhat doubtful, they surprisingly didn’t ask any further questions! They didn’t even consider whether military restricted zones allowed package deliveries, merely watching as Sequence One leisurely walked away, as if on a stroll.
"Oh, right!"
Before he had walked too far, Sequence One abruptly turned back and said.
"You guys should check on General Peng's condition; the old man was holding his chest just now, and it seemed like he had a heart attack."
After saying this, Sequence One continued to ramble on as he walked.
"This old man has every illness imaginable; his mind is muddled, and his heart isn’t well. So, while you’re still young, do whatever you want, engage in something thrilling to avoid regretting it when you’re old..."
As Sequence One rambled on about irrelevant matters, he walked down the stairs.
Along the way, everyone seemed to be oblivious to Sequence One's presence and did not hear his voice, letting him wander through the military restricted zone before slowly disappearing from sight!
