Chapter 1299 655: Resolve and Enlightenment
"Hey, that's wrong!"
In the private dining room of the Coastal Industry office building canteen, Ji Jue suddenly slapped the table, sighed deeply, and said, "You tell me, wouldn't it be clearer and more straightforward to write 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'?"
"Huh?"
Ni Lin, holding a bowl of rice, was dumbfounded.
"Yeah, we can write all of it!"
Ji Jue was suddenly revitalized: "Leaving in such a hurry after all, we should have conducted half of the ritual first, leaving the other half, then turning that Old Deng into a disorderly object and sending him back to Central City.
When he's on trial, Old Deng could suddenly scream 'White Country Eternal' and explode right in front of that bunch of insects... wouldn't that be quite a show?!"
As he spoke, inspiration poured forth in waves uncontrollably, and he just lamented how the old dog Fan Yun ran away too quickly. One life wasn't enough to atone for his sins. He was considering whether to dig him out from under the shadow of the tower and kill him again when the opportunity arose, just to vent his wrath.
"That's enough, it's already quite enough."
Ni Lin quickly dissuaded him.
Honestly speaking, even as a terrorist listed on the most wanted list, killing was as far as he went.
The sky-high resentment, the immense grudge, after chopping off a head and exposing the body to the wilderness, you might as well go insane, eat the flesh, skin the hide, ponder for a long time, and the limits of imagination can only amount to digging out the skull as a goblet…
Who could have guessed, in this world, there are craftsmen as strange as this!
From head to toe, inside and out, really didn't waste a bit...
Even Ni Lin felt there was no humanity in it.
But... to be honest, it was really satisfying.
He couldn't suppress the grin at the corners of his mouth until now.
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh softly and solemnly said, "Thanks to the Wolf Lord for your kindness, if the King knows in the afterlife, he'd surely regard you as a kindred spirit!"
"It's best if he doesn't know, right?"
Ji Jue sighed, frowned, and said, "And what's with that title? I said to change it, didn't I?"
Ni Lin was confused: "But I have received your Wolf Blood Oath, you're my Wolf Lord, and I'm your subordinate, what else can I call you if not Wolf Lord?"
"Mr. Ji, Boss Ji, or even just my name Ji Jue, as long as it's not Wolf Lord, anything is fine." Ji Jue emphasized again: "Don't call me that! I'm a law-abiding craftsman, the conscience of the Federation!"
Whether or not he is the conscience doesn't really matter.
The key is, there's still a Hunter stalking from behind.
Who knows when she'll lose patience and pop out to stab him… leaving a mark on the heart was already troublesome enough, what if next time she leaves a mark on his face, how would he live then?
"Boss… Ji..."
Ni Lin stammered for a long time, helplessly: "Whatever you say."
No choice, the guy talks very little.
In the past, as a loyal King's Guard, Ni Lin followed the White King devotedly, abandoned Superior, and willingly embraced the Great Evil, transforming into a Wolf. By all rights, he should have followed the White King to the end.
But the crux is, at the final moment, the White King actively severed his Wolf Blood Oath.
To prevent him from spiraling out of control again, Ji Jue simply decided to be a good guy to the end and used his own White Deer privateer license to give him a complete root again.
Since then, Ni Lin, who had been promoted to transcend as a wolf years ago, became Ji Jue's employee.
And with the White King dead, losing heart and motivation, all these years besides resisting the urge to feed on humans, he's just been lingering. He even took a job at the Chongguang Church to make money to raise a child he found... otherwise, how could Rotten Scales dare show up everywhere under the White Country's name, swaggering and deceiving?
As for Ji Jue… he's not even sure whether he counts as a Wolf or something else...
Even though the essence of the third Wolf Transformation indeed completed within him, after the White Deer's extreme modification and the assimilation of good and evil from the Evil Demon, it had become entirely unrecognizable.
It's like confiscating the black-market assets of an unborn Wolf and then turning it over to Ji Jue's company, with his assets stamped over the original trademark.
The essence remained, with all the enhancements and amplifications, but it's completely severed relations with the unborn wolf.
The upside is he no longer feeds on living humans, the downside is...
——He switched to eating the cooked ones!
To be precise, it's 'precision processed'.
No need to open his mouth, just by touch he could directly plunder the opponent's life and spiritual quality...
This wave is like Werewolves transforming into Vampires.
Walking down the street, everyone looks like ready meals.
Ji Jue doesn't even have the cravings or troubles in this regard — the Mechanical Descent eats far more voraciously, those little cravings get solved just snacking on trash, and even more 'nutritious' and 'healthy'!
However, the problem lies in...
Looking at others, like Mountain Wolves, Heart-in-the-Woods Wolves, Forest Wolves, then what kind of wolf is he?
A Deer-Wolf?
Or a Stove-Wolf?!
Forget it, just hearing it makes one want to sprinkle some cumin and chili powder on it.
Fully realizing his tragic talent in naming, Ji Jue has given up, his own workshop hasn't been named yet either, the Association has urged and urged, but he can't come up with anything, so just leave it be for now.
Even Ni Lin, he doesn't intend to bring back to the Federation.
The former White King's guard following behind him would be too conspicuous, plus, while New Spring's a bit chaotic, it's not somewhere he can make use of.
His partnership with Desert Market is as close as it gets, sneaking a wolf in there quietly, even Chen Xingzhou would have trouble sleeping.
As for the tumultuous chaos in White Country now, that's where the real opportunities lie.
Whether Ni Lin wants to honor the King and expel the invaders, restore our rivers and mountains, or continue raising the child, it doesn't matter. It's all up to him. If he feels lonely, Ji Jue even found him some part-time jobs!
