Chapter 983: Chapter 20: Powerful Choices and Upgrades! Chapter 983: Chapter 20: Powerful Choices and Upgrades! Reincarnated as a catastrophe?

Jason was startled; he couldn’t help but recall some incidents.

In Lorde, he was in a carriage filled with explosives, lighting a match.

At Hans Port, a meteor came crashing down, nearly annihilating the whole city.

In Newdeth City, the whole city was directly destroyed, or rather, simply ceased to exist.

During the time in Ang City, disasters followed like shadows, with the world behind the doors left shattered and broken.

In Cherry City, the battleship’s main cannons kept firing and plowing the ground, plunging the world into chaos.

In District F, the Hundred Major Families were almost wiped out, and multiple planets were bound to be engulfed in ceaseless strife.

Looking at it this way, he seemed, apparently, really… reincarnated as a catastrophe.

No, no no!

This goes beyond being reincarnated as a catastrophe!

He is the catastrophe itself!

But can he be blamed for this?

None of these were his intention.

It was just… beyond his control.

All he wanted was to simply survive, to strengthen himself, and then, some things just went in unpredictable directions.

“I am innocent.”

Jason silently thought in his heart.

But he didn’t voice it out, merely nodding slightly.

Although he was half-coerced and half-innocent, the outcomes of events could not be disconnected from him.

To this, Jason would not deny.

When faced with facts, Jason was honest.

However, this doesn’t mean he wouldn’t inquire further.

“Where does this rumor come from?”

Jason asked.

Although Jason couldn’t yet be sure of the rumor’s origin, one thing was certain to him: whoever spread the rumor meant no good.

And in this copy of the world before him, he hadn’t truly offended anyone.

So, there was only one possibility left.

This was trouble ‘he’ had caused before.

Thinking about the ‘arrangements’ filled in that diary.

Jason had more guesses in his heart.

Could it be those people who were after him?

Jason pondered.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu, watching Jason merely in thought and not at all enraged, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being called ‘reincarnated as a catastrophe’ is no small matter.

In the real world, being called ‘reincarnated as a catastrophe’ is likely just a way to scold someone.

But in the ‘Mystical Side’, being labeled as ‘reincarnated as a catastrophe’ carries an implication that can kill a person in spirit.

Without a deep-seated grudge, one would absolutely not make such remarks.

Once said, both parties will naturally be locked in a fight to the death.

As the lord who was the subject of the rumor, he must have been targeted; the other party wants to enrage the lord, then cause him to make strategic errors and fall completely into their pace.

Luckily, the lord was not angered.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed with relief in his heart.

He once again felt grateful that the lord he encountered was not merely a brute with strength but no reason.

Otherwise, he would have been in a terrible predicament.

And now?

It’s fortunate!

His lord was strong yet calm, and also held the identity of ‘Tongshou Temple’. As long as he dedicatedly assists, even if faced with calamities under the banner of ‘awe’, they will definitely be safely overcome.

Afterward?

Then it would be the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is vast for fish to leap!

Thinking this, Tsuchimikado Motoharu didn’t hesitate anymore.

“The news came from overseas.”

“At the time to lay out the plans for the ‘awe’ flag, I specifically investigated information about you and that’s how I got hold of this piece of news; the island should not have anyone who has had access to this information for the time being.”

“The exact source will require me to dispatch someone to investigate.”

Tsuchimikado Motoharu reported in full detail.

When he spoke of investigation, this Tsuchimikado Motoharu once again knelt and paid respects.

“Overseas?”

Jason narrowed his eyes, already having a clear understanding in his heart.

This rumor was spread by those who were after ‘him’.

But one point puzzled Jason.

Those who were after ‘him’, although they set traps and used sly tricks, their methods were still considered ‘straightforward’, and had never employed such tactics before.

Had something happened?

As he thought, Jason directly asked, “Has anything happened recently in the ‘Mystical Side’ overseas?”

“Sorry, my lord!”

“The island has always been closed off.”

“Please give me some time, I will dispatch someone to investigate and clarify as soon as possible.”

Tsuchimikado Motoharu appeared ashamed.

Jason naturally wouldn’t be dissatisfied.

In fact, for Jason, being able to easily obtain help from one side was already a perfect start.

Most of his time before, he had been fighting alone.

Although somewhat similar to those ‘lone wolves’ in Nightless City, Jason wouldn’t mind having assistance.

Just like now.

“If there’s any news, come notify me at the ‘Mask X Cleaver X Meat’ office as soon as possible.”

“And about the previous matter.”

Jason said this as he stood up.

“Understood.”

“Lord, won’t you stay?”

“Although simple here, it’s quite spacious.”

As Tsuchimikado Motoharu said this, Hui Lijing by the side pursed her lips.

Simple?

Let’s not even mention the Luohan pine in the courtyard which people couldn’t afford even with decades of salary.

Just maintaining the ‘Startled Deer’ already costs a staggering amount.

She certainly couldn’t afford it.

That guy… probably could afford it.

Thinking of those items in her sister’s bedroom, Hui Lijing couldn’t help frowning; she always felt her sister must have gotten involved in some big trouble.

Thinking of this, Hui Lijing cast glances at Jason.

The Tsuchimikado Motoharu before her seemed quite extraordinary, with exceptional strength and power far beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

If she could seek her sister with Tsuchimikado Motoharu’s assistance…

As Hui Lijing was still pondering, Jason had already started speaking.
