"Chu Zhengxiong, are you even capable of doing your job?
I sent you to investigate a case, and now the whole city knows about it!"
"Can you handle this or not? If you can't, I'll find someone who can!"
Early in the morning, the call from Captain Meng came through.
The moment the call connected, Chu Zhengxiong hadn't even managed to say a word.
He was immediately hit with a torrent of abuse.
After a long moment, Chu Zhengxiong finally said, "Captain Meng, why don't you just replace me then!"
"I won't even get into how powerful that aberration was!"
"It insisted on killing people in a crowded city center. How is that my fault?"
"What, was I supposed to tell it to pick another spot to commit murder?"
"If you're going to be this unreasonable, then you might as well not use me at all!"
Chu Zhengxiong was also simmering with rage.
Last night, he'd been whipped several times by that Ancient Tree Demon, leaving his body covered in bloody welts.
