Su Bai looked at Lu Le. Originally, he was thinking about whom to report these matters to. Unexpectedly, Lu Le came up with an idea.

After Lu Le finished speaking, Bing Qingqing and Murong Xue nodded repeatedly. They seemed to agree to go against the military.

That put Su Bai in a difficult position. However, Yan Xuan and Yan Yi expressed that no matter what Su Bai decided to do, they would follow him.

On the other hand, Olive did not react at all. Su Bai was aware that Olive could not make that decision on her own. Besides, it seemed that Olive already knew what Su Bai wanted to do.

Su Bai sighed, “You guys are overthinking. I’m just reporting Han Zhengzhi to the higher-ups. This time, the means used are somewhat cunning, clearly not the work of someone behind Han Zhengzhi.”

The group looked at Su Bai, puzzled.

Su Bai waved his hand, “Forget it, I’ll explain everything once this matter is over.”

In their minds, they had already imagined a great show. Powerful figures standing in front of their base, wanting to destroy it. Even many important figures were involved. But Su Bai resisted all of them. Because of Su Bai’s resistance, it finally alarmed the country, leading to the removal of Han Zhengzhi and others.

Of course, this was just a battle in Lu Le’s mind. In fact, Murong Xue, Bing Qingqing, and others thought similarly. They had also dealt with the military and naturally knew the authority it represented. When Su Bai said he wanted to solve it, they could not think of any other way except fighting.

Su Bai quickly told them to focus on training, “Don’t be complacent just because you’ve grown a bit. Continue to improve your strength. In the future, we will face more and more enemies.”

In fact, what Su Bai wanted to say was that enemies like Han Zhengzhi, who had no shame, would only increase in number.

Lu Le and the others still wanted to accompany Su Bai. But seeing that Su Bai did not seem to need their company, they did not say anything.

Olive took the opportunity to tease Lu Le, “If you can cripple a Diamond-level individual at the Gold-level, I think you can be like the boss and not need training.”

‘Isn’t that a typical joke?! I would never surpass Boss in my whole life! Moreover, Boss may seem inexperienced, but he dared to consume Beast-cores and crystals! Would they do that? They were human beings and not capable of doing that!’ Lu Le thought.

After Olive finished speaking, Lu Le immediately rushed into the training space.

Bing Qingqing and Murong Xue glanced at each other. Then, they followed suit and entered the training space one after the other.

Meanwhile, Su Bai operated the computer. He specifically selected those big companies listed on the bounty board. Those were the companies that offered high rewards, so he wanted to collaborate with them.

Su Bai typed, [I am Su Bai. Do you want me to forge this weapon for you?] X Company replied, [Sorry, we don’t plan to have you make it.]

Su Bai asked, [Can you tell us the reason? Is it that you don’t trust our abilities, or is there someone preventing you from cooperating with us?]

X Company answered, [The latter.]

Su Bai quickly recorded this conversation. At the same time, he opened another chat with a different family. To his surprise, it was the Paris family again. He was not sure how the Paris family was running short of weapons.

However, Su Bai seriously looked at the weapon and realized that he could make it too. He thought taking the order would be quite beneficial to him, especially considering the generous reward the Paris family offered.

Su Bai directly opened the chat with the Paris family. He still remembered that the Paris family currently had Payne Paris as the patriarch. He was not sure if Payne would remember him.

Before Su Bai left, Payne even gave him some ancient medicinal herbs. Normally, that should not be the doing of enemies.

Su Bai stroked his chin. Then he texted, [I am Su Bai. I can help you forge this weapon. Fifty pieces in one week.] The Paris family replied, [We dare not.]

Su Bai asked, [Why not?]

At that moment, the Paris family was about to reject Su Bai. However, they sighed deeply.

Originally, they intended to reject Su Bai directly. But considering the favorable impression the Paris family’s patriarch had of Su Bai, they wondered if it would be wise to give Su Bai some face secretly.

So, before refusing, they went straight to the Payne.

Su Bai looked at the other party, only to find that they did not respond at all. He felt somewhat relieved, thinking that perhaps they still remembered the past friendship.

But now it seemed that all the big families were only concerned about their interests.

Su Bai did not really mind. Su Bai went ahead and opened another chat with a different family.

What Su Bai did not know was that when he opened this new chat, the Paris family’s weapon group was communicating with Payne, the current Patriarch.

“Master Payne, Su Bai can refine the weapons we need,” said Payne’s subordinate.

Payne’s eyes brightened, looking quite interested. He asked, “How did he respond?”

Payne’s subordinate informed him of the conversation between them and Su Bai. He looked at Su Bai’s reply and his interest was piqued.

Payne’s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the dialogue box and said with amusement, “Tell him that we can but dare not. Ask him if he has any ideas to resolve the current situation.”

Payne’s subordinate was puzzled. In fact, they could easily give Su Bai some special treatment.

Moreover, the military would not actually reach out that far. They could openly refuse but still cooperate in secret. It was their usual practice.

However, since Payne wanted to play, his subordinates had to follow his lead. The subordinate directly sent Payne’s message to Su Bai.

At that moment, Su Bai was saving the second suppressed testimony. After seeing the conversation with the Paris family, he understood the situation. Su Bai replied, [I can resolve it, but it will take one or two days.]

Seeing Su Bai’s response, Payne became even more interested in him and thought, ‘Just one or two days? With his strength, it would only take a day to resolve it.’

Paris replied, [Alright, we’ll keep the order for you. Once we receive the notice, we’ll immediately assign this order to you.]

Su Bai replied, [Okay.]

Su Bai told Yan Xuan all the details about the customer’s weapon design and their specific requirements.

Yan Xuan was amazed and said, “It really shows that it’s a big family, they are so generous.”

Olive and Yan Yi were wide-eyed.

“Can we really trust us with making weapons for such a big family?” Olive asked.

Usually, the bigger the family, the more they sought reliable partners. But they were just newcomers. Although their strength was strong, they did not have any reputation in the industry.

Yan Xuan gave them a look that said, “You guys are too naive.”

Yan Yi was the most surprised. They were currently being suppressed.

In this situation where the military was pressing them, they were still able to receive orders from a big family. Their chosen boss was really powerful.

Before, Yan Yi chose to follow Su Bai out of curiosity, just playing around. Now it seemed like he had found a treasure..
