280: God revealed the truth, and we met again.

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue returned to South Korea, and they immediately went to the hotel to find Pike.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Jiang Chuan lowered his voice and spoke the sentence, looking coldly at Pike in front of him.

Bai Mengxue, standing on the other side, was already prepared for battle, ready to strike Pike at any moment.

Pike merely smiled at the scene before him and did not take it to heart; after all, he had experienced this before.

“Don’t be nervous, at least you survived.”

Pike said with a very relaxed smile, handing them drinks to help them calm down.

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue naturally ignored Pike, instead staring intently at him, demanding an explanation.

“Come and sit down. Since you passed the assessment, you are naturally qualified to know the truth, as this is your hope for survival.”

Pike smiled, uncaring that Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue did not accept his gesture of goodwill.

After saying this, Pike paid no mind to the two of them, sitting down by himself to savor the fine wine in his hand.

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue frowned instantly as they watched Pike enjoying his wine, but ultimately said nothing more and sat down beside him.

“Not bad.”

Pike nodded in satisfaction, looking at Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue sitting next to him.

“You only have three years left to live.”

After finishing the wine in his hand, Pike looked deeply at the two of them and slowly spoke this sentence.

“What do you mean?”

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue actually already knew about this matter, but upon hearing Pike’s words, they still feigned great shock, looking at Pike in disbelief.

“Of course, you proved with your strength that you can still live for three years.”

Pike sensed their astonishment but paid it no mind, saying this with a smile.

This time, Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue remained silent, staring intently at him.

“The god's gift you injected is actually a potion that overdrafts life force in exchange for power. Although this potion possesses all the effects of Sublimation, allowing you to retain youth and also granting longer vitality, god's gift also has a fatal side effect: after injection, your lifespan is limited to only three years.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Pike’s contradictory statement, Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue frowned even deeper, wanting an explanation from him.

“Do you feel that what I just said is very contradictory?”

Pike noticed their expressions and could not help but laugh.

“I once told you that the effect of god's gift is stronger than Sublimation, and that is certainly true, but the side effects of god's gift are also greater than Sublimation.”

“After injecting god's gift, the organization can actually allow you to possess a longer lifespan, but you need to complete the corresponding assessments. After all, the organization also needs to pay a great price to allow you to have a longer lifespan, and that kind of potion is very rare.”

“As long as you pass the next assessment, you will receive the heavenly master potion granted by the organization. Once the heavenly master potion is injected, you will gain another four years. By continuously injecting the heavenly master potion, you will be able to possess infinite vitality.”

“Although god's gift shortened your lifespan, it also granted you infinite vitality, provided that you can obtain an infinite supply of the heavenly master potion.”

Pike smiled, then told the two of them without any reservation that although god's gift had huge drawbacks and shortened their lifespan, precisely because god's gift shortened their life force, human intervention could then alter that life force, allowing them to gain more vitality, provided they could obtain the heavenly master potion; otherwise, they would both die after three years.

“How do we obtain the heavenly master potion?”

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue understood Pike’s words and stared intently at him as they asked this question.

“I know one way to obtain the heavenly master potion; as for the other methods, I do not know.”

“This method is for one of you to become the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team. As long as the members of your Law Enforcement Team can complete the organization’s assessment within three years, you will be able to obtain the heavenly master potion. However, if your team fails the assessment, you and all the members you recruited will face certain death.”

Pike said this with extreme indifference.

“I understand. How can we establish our own Law Enforcement Team?”

Hearing Pike’s cold words, Jiang Chuan looked intently at him, wanting to know how to form his Law Enforcement Team, as this concerned their lives, and they naturally cared deeply.

“I am about to leave South Korea. Next, one of you two will become the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team. After I leave, you will need to establish your own Law Enforcement Team, and as long as you pass the assessment, you will naturally receive the heavenly master potion.”

Pike chuckled upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, informing the two of them that one of them would become the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team.

“Alright, we understand.”

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue nodded, indicating their understanding. Their mood had become quite heavy, and they prepared to leave.

“Don’t rush to leave yet. A High-Level Official and a Divine Envoy will be arriving here soon. They will tell you which of you will become the Captain of the Eastern Enforcement Squad, and they will also inform the other person what their next steps will be.”

Seeing their heavy expressions and their intention to leave, Pike immediately stopped them, telling them to wait here for the arrival of the High-Level Official and the Divine Envoy.

“Understood.”

Jiang Chuan and Bai Mengxue immediately became interested upon hearing Pike’s words, as this might be their first, and possibly only, interaction with a High-Level Official.

After the two of them waited for about an hour, the elevator slowly descended from above and stopped at their floor.

“It’s him?!”

Jiang Chuan, Bai Mengxue, and Pike had already moved to the elevator location to greet the arrival of the High-Level Official and the Divine Envoy. When the elevator opened, Jiang Chuan instantly recognized one of the people: it was none other than Fuck You.

He hadn’t expected Fuck You to come here, and he quickly realized Fuck You’s identity must be either a High-Level Official of the Heavenly Lord Society or a Divine Envoy.

“Welcome, Lord Heavenly Master, and Divine Envoy,” Pike said respectfully upon seeing the two arrive.

Fuck You ignored Pike, his gaze falling upon Jiang Chuan as he spoke deeply.

“We meet again.”

“Indeed, I didn’t expect us to meet so soon.”
