Shorty walked dejectedly into Boss Cha’s office, followed by the three aliens.

Welcome, welcome," Boss Cha stood up and extended his hand for a handshake with Jiang Cheng, "Welcome friends from afar, welcome to Delmar Planet as guests. On behalf of all the people of Delmar Planet, I express my heartfelt welcome to you.

Boss Cha appeared remarkably enthusiastic, yet his excitement seemed somewhat exaggerated. Not only did it make Ye and the others uncomfortable, but even Shorty was surprised by his wide-eyed expression. He knew that stepping down would delight the top ruler of Erma Planet, but he never expected him to be this thrilled.

"I heard you assisted in demolishing a local criminal force, is that true?" After they sat down, the boss asked, full of interest.

"Probably, might be so." Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure what this boss was planning and hesitated to confirm, so he responded ambiguously.

"That’s good news. Even though you’ve come from afar, according to my subordinates, in just a day in our capital, you’ve done something great for our people. I should thank you." Boss Cha continued to dwell on this matter undeterred.

Jiang Cheng’s gaze flickered as he understood his intention.

This Delmar boss is also a sly person; first, he cornered Shorty with words, and then calmly dismissed him.

"Hmm," Jiang Cheng nodded nonchalantly, dealing with this boss.

He knew he had no choice but to listen now.

Sure enough, the boss turned to look at Shorty with a less friendly expression.

How did you meet our friends from afar?" he asked Shorty. "I guess you’ll have a reasonable explanation?

Shorty didn’t expect the boss to be so direct and blunt, giving him no chance to even save face.

Such straightforward questioning left him flustered, not knowing what to say at the moment: "Well, um, because..." Shorty stammered, unable to form a complete sentence.

Boss Cha took a document and threw it in front of Shorty, his expression becoming even grimmer.

This is the report on your team operation," the boss said. "Should I read the detailed data out loud to you?

Shorty muttered, unable to speak.

The boss said to him, "I’ve ordered a meeting regarding your team operation. I hope you provide a reasonable explanation to the others at the meeting.

He checked his watch (Li Hao’s): "Let’s go now.

Before leaving, the boss turned around, warmly shook hands with Jiang Cheng, thanked them again for their contribution to Delmar Planet, and promised that Shorty would definitely face punishment.

Additionally, he pledged that the ordinary people who died during this team operation would receive appropriate compensation. In terms of their damaged homes, besides housing compensation, another compensation fund would be provided.

The boss made the promises cheerfully and sincerely. His considerations were thorough, almost covering every minor detail.

When he was bidding farewell to Jiang Cheng, upon learning that they would soon leave Delmar Planet, he sighed regretfully, feeling sorry that heroes like them couldn’t stay longer on Delmar Planet.

As Jiang Cheng and the others left the boss’s residence, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but curse: "Hypocrite!

Anyway, the conflict between Jiang Cheng and Delmar Planet finally ended, with the outcome just barely acceptable.

Firstly, Yanran and Ba Lv had found the stolen card back from the thief, and after verification, nothing was missing from it.

Secondly, through this small-scale battle with the Delma Team, Yanran and Ba Lv gained valuable experience and more combat skills with the team.

Thirdly, for the deceased accomplice of the dead Boss Cha, the top leader of Delmar and Shorty’s punishment was personally guaranteed by their boss.

Ye had overheard Shorty’s conversation with the boss’s envoy earlier and understood that the Delmar boss truly detested Shorty. Now that Shorty was in trouble, it seemed the boss would definitely not let him off easily.

This was why Jiang Cheng didn’t directly punish Shorty but sent him to face the Delmar boss instead.

Now, Jiang Cheng and the other two were back in the hotel.

After a quick freshen-up, Yanran and Ba Lv comfortably went to bed, claiming they would sleep until naturally awakened. They hadn’t slept a wink last night and had fought against a large wave of Delma Team for a long time, so indeed they were exhausted.

Jiang Cheng didn’t mind; after lying on his bed for a while, he went out.

Yanran and Ba Lv didn’t exaggerate as much as they claimed, sleeping for several days and nights without looking up. When Jiang Cheng returned the second time from outside, they were already up.

"Teacher, you went for a walk?" Yanran asked.

"I noticed you all were deeply asleep, I felt bored alone, so I went out for a stroll," Jiang Cheng replied, but judging by his expression, he seemed to have something to say.

Ba Lv spotted the peculiarity in her teacher; after all, this little girl grew up in the Dark World, and for survival, she was skilled at observing others.

Teacher, did you see something outside that upset you?" Ba Lv asked him.

Jiang Cheng lifted his head and sighed softly, which even Yanran noticed something was off. She put down her things and walked up to Jiang Cheng.

What’s going on, teacher? Don’t be like this, tell us." Yanran insisted. She had been with her teacher for so long and had never seen him sigh or groan like this.

In her mind, her teacher wasn’t someone who only ever sighed, but rather someone who just solves problems. If he couldn’t solve them, as long as he tried hard, he had no regrets and let it be.

This was his usual approach.

Therefore, her teacher wasn’t blindly optimistic, but he was relatively optimistic, hence Yanran rarely saw him down.

Plus, her teacher possessed extraordinary abilities, and Yanran could hardly imagine anything he couldn’t solve? At most, it required more time. Seeing the two female disciples prodding him, Jiang Cheng told them what he saw today.

"Although the Delmar boss confidently assured me he would never mistreat those injured or killed during this operation, honestly, I simply do not believe that old fox."
