CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111, YOU ARE THE SPY_1

Jiang Chen turned around. "What is it?"

Gao Hong smiled. "Nothing much. I just wanted to chat. Our Dragon Zone Union’s victory this time was all thanks to you."

Jiang Chen turned and walked forward, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Something wasn’t right.

This kid seemed off. Many people greeted Jiang Chen, which was normal, but this one was different—it was his heartbeat, the quickening pulse, the contracting pupils.

It seemed normal on the surface, but Jiang Chen had his Perception Skill and could clearly sense that Gao Hong’s heartbeat was racing.

A racing heartbeat only meant one thing: lying.

When someone lies, stress takes over, causing the nervous system to dominate. This leads to an accelerated heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and constricted pupils.

Previously, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have noticed, but after Black Wind mentioned the possibility of a mole, he was prepared.

Jiang Chen turned back with a smile. "Chat?"

"Yeah, I heard Wang Meng boasting about how you two rampaged through the Nordic European Union. I’m really envious! I wanted to see Brother Jiang’s methods for myself."

"How so?"

"They launched a surprise attack on the Han Union this morning, right? How about the two of us also go and launch a surprise attack on the Nordic European Union? Let me witness your skills!"

Jiang Chen laughed.

This kid indeed had a problem! But he picked the wrong person.

"Fine, I’ll take you to witness it."

Gao Hong summoned a Giant Dragon. "Brother Jiang, get on!"

Jiang Chen mounted the Giant Dragon, and Gao Hong patted it. With a WHOOSH, the dragon flew off into the distance, toward the Nordic European Union.

After flying for a while, Jiang Chen said, "I want to land for a bit. I have some things to ask you."

Gao Hong was puzzled! "What’s the matter, Brother Jiang? Just tell me directly. We’re almost at the Nordic European Union."

"Let’s land first."

Hearing Jiang Chen’s unquestionable tone, Gao Hong reluctantly flew downward and waited to the side, still confused.

Jiang Chen dismounted from the dragon.

Gao Hong followed suit.

Jiang Chen said, "Gao Hong, some things are better said plainly. After all, you’re a member of the Dragon Zone Union and a Dragon Knight. Isn’t it good here in the Dragon Zone Union?"

Gao Hong, his face full of confusion, asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you mean?"

"Sigh... Black Phoenix told me we might have a traitor among us. I didn’t take it seriously at first, but I didn’t expect it to be true."

Gao Hong was startled. "A traitor? How’s that possible?"

Jiang Chen stared at Gao Hong. "I also thought it was impossible, but it is what it is. Gao Hong, I’m giving you a chance to confess."

Gao Hong looked at Jiang Chen, his expression awkward. "Brother Jiang, you don’t think I’m the traitor, do you? I can swear I’m absolutely not."

Yet inside, he was in complete turmoil. How could this be? How could Jiang Chen possibly know?

Under Jiang Chen’s Perception Skill, Gao Hong’s heartbeat sped up even more. On top of that, his pupils contracted while speaking—signs of lying.

Jiang Chen became even more certain that this man was unquestionably a traitor.

Jiang Chen stated, "When a person lies, their heartbeat suddenly accelerates, and their pupils contract. You should understand that by the time I questioned you, I had already confirmed you were the mole."

"Don’t deny it. There’s no room for denial in front of me."

Gao Hong dropped the pretense. "How could you possibly know?"

"Nothing is impossible. What did they offer you to make you turn traitor? More importantly, you actually agreed."

Gao Hong looked down. "You should know that the Dragon Knights of the Nordic European Union are the strongest."

Jiang Chen nodded. He knew that.

The Nordic European Union has the strongest Dragon Knight Legion, and the Mei Zone’s Union has the strongest Angel Legion. These are the two most recognized Legions.

Gao Hong continued, "If I go to the Nordic European Union, I’ll be well taken care of and even get the chance to join the strongest Dragon Knight Legion, not to mention gain new Skills."

"There are great mentors in the Nordic European Union, so I agreed."

Jiang Chen, smoking a cigarette, asked, "You’d betray the Dragon Zone Union for a mere Skill?"

"I want to aim higher. We are all Heroes under the All Gods, fighting for the Gods. It doesn’t count as betrayal."

Jiang Chen laughed.

Traitors always claim they’re good people.

But your damn betrayal—do you even know what it means? It means the honor of the Dragon Zone Union.

Jiang Chen knew this person lacked honor. Of course, Jiang Chen himself didn’t claim much honor, but even without a strong sense of honor, he would never betray the Dragon Zone Union for Skills by joining another Alliance.

Jiang Chen nodded. "I very much agree with your thinking and support your ambition, but betrayal is betrayal. You have no right to argue."

"You want to develop your career in the Nordic European Union, and personally, I have no objection. But you shouldn’t have chosen this time to leave, especially during the Alliance competition."

Gao Hong said angrily, "Is it wrong for me to go to a better place?"

"There’s nothing wrong with that. But you shouldn’t betray your teammates, sacrifice them, and make the Dragon Zone Union pay the price. After the Alliance battle ends, you can go wherever you want, but not now."

"What do you want to do then?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "I always give people a chance to repent, and you’re no exception. I’ll give you that chance too."

"You haven’t actually betrayed us yet. But you should know that if you do, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth. And you should understand, I have that capability."

Gao Hong’s face changed dramatically when he heard these words.

Jiang Chen asked, "What did they give you to deal with me?"

"A Seal Scroll. They told me to seal you and then take you to the Nordic European Union."

"Where’s the scroll?"

"On me."

"Give it to me."

Having been discovered by Jiang Chen, Gao Hong could only reluctantly hand it over, tossing it to Jiang Chen, who examined the scroll.

[Seal Scroll: Prevents the use of any Skills for thirty minutes. Can seal any Hero below First-stage.]

These Attributes were incredible! Being unable to use Skills for thirty minutes was no different from seeking death.

Jiang Chen asked, "Only one?"

Gao Hong nodded. "Yes, Seal Scrolls are rare as it is; there’s only this one. I hope you won’t tell Black Phoenix, or I’ll be kicked out."

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell him. Now is your chance to make a significant contribution."

Gao Hong gave a bitter smile. "You’ve already found me out. How can I possibly make a significant contribution?"

"Weren’t you trying to get me into the Nordic European Union? Let’s head there right now."

Gao Hong was stunned.

Head to the Nordic European Union?

Jiang Chen continued, "Contact the Nordic European Union. Tell them you succeeded. Just bring me into their city, and that’s it. You don’t need to worry about the rest; just leave immediately. I only need to get into the city and have them lower their Protective Shield."

To enter the city, one either had to attack the Protective Shield until it collapsed or have them willingly lower it to grant entry.

Gao Hong asked, "You want to face the Nordic European Union’s army of one hundred thousand all by yourself?"

"Mm."

"But that’s a hundred thousand people?"

"To me, they’re just a hundred thousand ants."

Hearing this, Gao Hong was astonished.

This... What did it mean for one person to face an army of 100,000? Could he really kill them all on his own?
