Once, I wanted to be a good person

Unfortunately, when Fang Ze arrived at Hua Jian's home, Hua Jian was still safely inside, and she had gone nowhere. Nor had she been abducted by the Rejuvenation Society.

Fang Ze didn't know whether his strategy to drive away wolves and swallow tigers was ineffective, or if the Rejuvenation Society was still waiting for an opportunity.

But since he had already set his trap, he could only wait patiently now.

With no progress on Hua Jian's end, Fang Ze's attention was fully focused on experimenting with his newly advanced ability.

So, after taking a bath, Fang Ze lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep, heading to the Late-Night Investigation Room.....

.....

Fang Ze didn't know how much time had passed when he woke from his slumber and found himself in the Late-Night Investigation Room.

As usual, Fang Ze habitually looked around the entire Late-Night Investigation Room.

Everything was unchanged, except the character "One" on the large iron door was now even brighter....

This also meant that, during this period, Miaomiao was developing very well in Qingshan City, and she had collected a great deal of the Power of Faith.

Considering this, Fang Ze thought for a moment and ultimately decided on the subject for his mid-stage Awakening Ability experiment: Miaomiao.....

There were two reasons.

Firstly, he hadn't contacted Miaomiao for a long time. It was time to care for his Believer and see how her progress was.

The second reason was: his mid- stage Credit World required giving first, then asking back.

Compared to Wang Hao, who was in the comfortable environment of Emerald City with the backing of the Investigation Bureau, Miaomiao, who was striving alone in Qingshan City, faced a more severe environment.

Therefore, Fang Ze felt that "Borrowing" something to her would be more beneficial to his own small group...

Thinking thus, Fang Ze withdrew his gaze from the iron door, then proceeded to the desk, adjusted the layout of the entire room, and began tonight's summoning....

...

Two minutes later, shrouded in mist and seated in his usual noble room, Fang Ze watched as Miaomiao, who was slowly appearing on the sofa, was surveyed by his eyes.

Having not seen her for half a month, Fang Ze noticed Miaomiao... seemed to have changed significantly.

Previously, she always wore a hemp dress, her face a bit thin and her body slightly frail, giving off an undernourished appearance.

And in demeanor, she was always very delicate, pitiful, invoking an involuntary desire to protect her.

But now Miaomiao....

She wore a gown made of several layers of chiffon, barefoot, her face seemed rounder, her skin even whiter and more delicate, and her figure also..... had improved.

More importantly, her temperament changed; her frailty gradually dissipated, and there was a touch of determination on her face.....

Looking at the girl who had changed so much, Fang Ze was honestly curious about what she had experienced during this half month.

With that thought, Fang Ze softly called out, "Miaomiao..."

Possibly hearing Fang Ze's voice, Miaomiao moved a bit and then slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision expanded from narrow to wide, and upon realizing the figure shrouded in mist before her was Fang Ze, a look of surprise clearly crossed her face.

She hastily lifted her gown, stood up from the sofa, then knelt respectfully on the ground, and said to Fang Ze with a face full of devotion and joy, "Mr. Devil! I've finally seen you again!"

Seeing that the girl's heart towards him remained unchanged, Fang Ze nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "No need for formalities, sit down."

Miaomiao obediently stood up and then sat down on the sofa, her big eyes constantly stealing glances at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze looked at the hugely transformed girl, curiosity showing on his face, and spoke slowly, "During this time, I was waging wars in the heavens, so I didn't keep an eye on you."

"Are things well with you?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao nodded eagerly and then delicately recounted all of her experiences during this time.

Fang Ze listened patiently, comparing Miaomiao's emotions and inner voice, to gradually piece together the whole story.

As it turned out, Qingshan City had undergone significant changes in the half-month since Fang Ze's departure.

The cause of all the changes was actually due to Fang Ze "killing" Director Pang.

The head of the Investigation Bureau held no insignificant position in a low-level city; his sudden death plunged the entire Qingshan City into chaos.

Investigators, leaderless, were unable to maintain order, gangs began to emerge, and fugitives and desperadoes from other cities seized this opportunity to come to Qingshan City, each looking to claim a share of the spoils.

As for the slum area, a lawless zone, it naturally bore the brunt of the impact.

At that time, two gangs with Awakeners entered the slum area, and several desperadoes lurked within, looking for an opportunity to make a move.

In the beginning, Miaomiao was also a bit panicked. But perhaps faith truly has power; with the thought of Mr. Devil in her heart, she gradually mustered courage.

She didn't ask for help from anyone but first summoned several squads of Dark Soldiers with her own ability to stabilize the situation. Then, leveraging the charity she had shown to the poor before, she established a small sect in the name of "Mr. Devil" in the slum area.

The formation of the organization considerably increased the power at her disposal. She became able to do much more.

Therefore, she selected the strong and young to form the Protection Team, after informing them of the side effects, used the "Muscle Dew Grass" bestowed by Fang Ze for training, and together with her Shadow Warriors, maintained the security of her streets, defending against the incursions of the gangs.
