Chapter 026: Having a Cheat Is Just That Willful

Wang Bo knew very well that Meng Bo wasn't really concerned about Imamura Kiyoko—maybe he had some care for her, but more for his own money. So when he heard that Imamura Kiyoko was fine, he knew his bounty was secure.

"Great." This made Meng Bo's joy show on his face, and he couldn't help pumping his fist.

Wang Bo gave him a half-smile.

Meng Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he patted Wang Bo on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, how about we split the bounty fifty-fifty? I, Meng Bo, always keep my word; I'd never quarrel with a partner over money."

Wang Bo said disdainfully, "Do you think I care about that little bit of money?"

Meng Bo thought of Wang Bo's villa and nodded. "That's true. You're so rich, of course you don't care about a little money."

Wang Bo said, "I can give you all the bounty, but you have to do something for me."

"What?"

"Help me find the Apostle."

"The Apostle, that most mysterious guy the blonde mentioned." Meng Bo certainly knew who the Apostle was, but that guy was very mysterious, and Meng Bo couldn't guarantee he could find him.

He could only say, "I'll do my best. Once I have any news on that guy, I'll let you know. But I'm a fair man; about the bounty..."

Wang Bo cut him off directly, "I don't want it. If you don't want it, donate it."

Meng Bo struggled for a long time and said, "I think I'll take the trouble and bear this burden for you."

Wang Bo chuckled. This guy was more shameless than he had imagined.

After the two finished speaking, Sae Nogami turned her head and asked, "Who is the owner of the Fugimaru? Is it the fox demon?"

"That's right."

"Why not capture her?" As soon as she said it, Sae Nogami thought of something. "You want to use the fox demon to find the Apostle."

Wang Bo nodded. "Right. The Apostle is very dangerous, more dangerous than the other four combined. So the fox demon can't be caught yet. Also, keep an eye out for me; if you find any leads on the Apostle, let me know as soon as possible."

Sae Nogami naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed. "No problem."

Then, when Imamura Kiyoko was about to wake up, Wang Bo raised his hand and sent Meng Bo, Sae Nogami, and Imamura Kiyoko back to Tokyo.

Afterward, Wang Bo took the time to call Meiko.

At dinner time, Meiko came back.

But unlike previous times, Meiko had changed out of her black tight suit into a casual leisure outfit, dressed like a fashionable and artistic young woman.

"So, what do you want this time?" Meiko asked as she sat on the sofa.

Wang Bo didn't stand on ceremony with Meiko either. "I want you to help me find someone."

"Who?"

"I'm not sure of his name, but his alias is the Apostle. This guy is very dangerous. If I catch him, maybe I can help you solve all these messy problems at once."

Meiko was a bit dismissive at first, but by the end, she became completely serious.

"Are you serious?"

"Do you think I would lie to you about this?" Wang Bo countered.

Meiko said, "I need specific information on this person."

Wang Bo snapped his fingers, and streams of water materialized out of thin air in the room, converging to form the figure of a man. This was what Wang Bo had seen of the Apostle in the fox demon's memory.

But at the time, the guy was wearing a mask, so Wang Bo didn't know what he looked like under it.

"This is the Apostle. I only know his code name, height, and build; I don't know what he looks like," Wang Bo said to Meiko. "You'd better mobilize the entire GDF to find him. He's very dangerous."

Meiko looked at the Apostle conjured by magic and slowly said, "So this guy is called the Apostle."

Hearing this, Wang Bo turned to look at Meiko. "You know him?"

Meiko nodded and withdrew her gaze. "Our GDF is currently tracking this guy. He has appeared in several incidents and is very suspicious. But he's cautious; he always wears a mask and appears and disappears unpredictably. So even now, we don't know much about him."

Wang Bo wasn't surprised. In his understanding, the Apostle was indeed a very cautious guy.

"Since you know about him, that makes it easier. Find him as soon as possible, and notify me immediately once you have any leads."

Meiko didn't refuse and nodded. "Okay."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Meiko smiled slightly, then patted her stomach. "I'm hungry. What's for dinner tonight?"

"How about Bliss Rice, Garlic Chicken, and Boneless Saury?"

"Sounds good."

...

Over the next few days, Wang Bo heard no news about the Apostle.

Neither Meiko, nor Meng Bo, nor Sae Nogami, not even the fox demon, could find the elusive Apostle.

Even the mechanical soldiers Wang Bo dispatched couldn't find the guy.

It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Such hiding skills amazed even Wang Bo himself; he had to admit that some people really knew how to hide. But Wang Bo wasn't worried at all.

Yes, he wasn't worried.

Even if the guy was ready and summoned a demon army, or even brought the demon army into the human world, Wang Bo wasn't worried. Not because Wang Bo could easily stop the demon invasion.

But because Wang Bo had a cheat. Not to mention anything else, just the Moonlight Box alone could solve all problems.

Once the guy summoned the demon army, he would inevitably be exposed.

Then Wang Bo could use the Moonlight Box to go back to before the guy summoned the demon army, arrive at the summoning location, and deliver a fatal blow.

So Wang Bo really wasn't worried at all. Having a cheat is just that willful. No matter what happened, Wang Bo could easily prevent bad things.

Time travel is just that unbeatable.

Unless the other party also had the ability to time travel, they couldn't stop Wang Bo. But in Wang Bo's view, even gods would find it hard to do that.

After all, in mythology, there are only a few gods who control time.

For example, Zhulong, whose opening eyes bring day and closing eyes bring night. Or Chronos, the god of time in Greek mythology.

If he encountered these gods, Wang Bo might be more careful. But the problem was that neither Hades nor the underworld had a god in charge of time, so Wang Bo didn't take the Apostle seriously at all.

Once this guy showed his face, Wang Bo would strike him with thunderous force.
