Chapter 10 Exchange

Chapter 10 Exchange

The moment the explosion occurred, the man opposite pounced towards Ji Jing.

It seemed he wanted to shield him and play the hero saving the damsel in distress.

Unfortunately for him, Ji Jing didn't give him that chance.

He reacted faster than the man, sliding under the seat and successfully rolling underneath it.

The shattered glass didn't injure Ji Jing; instead, the man who tried to be heroic got several cuts from the shards, with two pieces even embedding into his back.

The man grunted, momentarily stunned by the unexpected turn of events.

Ji Jing's reaction surprised him, but then he felt a surge of delight.

Without overthinking, Ji Jing hid under the seat, noticing the man lying on the table with a necklace peeking out from his collar. The pendant was not ordinary—it was a silver wolf's head, adorned with two tiny gemstones as eyes.

For some reason, Ji Jing instinctively felt this necklace was important.

Without hesitation, he reached out, yanked off the man's necklace, and flashed him a bright smile.

"Since you like me so much and were willing to risk your life to save me, this necklace is now mine!"

With that, Ji Jing rolled to the seat beside him.

"Wait... wait!"

The man, shocked by Ji Jing's sudden move, tried to grab him but winced at the pain from his wounds.

In that brief moment, Ji Jing had already crawled out from under the adjacent seat and fled through the cafe's back door, disappearing quickly.

The man: "..."

What an unfeeling little rascal!

But somehow, I like him even more now.

The necklace was significant, and the man was about to chase after Ji Jing when he caught sight of a familiar tall figure among the combatants.

He paused, surprised to see his arch-nemesis here.

Though the tall figure was disguised, those distinctive gray-green eyes couldn't be mistaken.

The owner of those gray-green eyes also noticed the man in the cafe, frowning deeply.

The man shook his head regretfully and chuckled softly, "General Tang En, next time you disguise yourself, remember to wear colored contacts."

With these words, the man vanished from the cafe.

The tall man, addressed as General Tang En, took a few steps forward but couldn't find the vanished figure. Instead, he saw a figure in a gray hoodie blending into the fleeing crowd, heading toward the exit of the underground city.

It was that young Omega.

Ji Jing didn't hesitate this time, sprinting straight to where the flying car was parked.

Amidst the chaos, there were people trying to take advantage of the situation.

However, Ji Jing was alert and immediately dodged anyone who approached suspiciously.

Once outside the underground city, the fleeing crowd dispersed, and Ji Jing found himself alone.

Just as he was about to reach the flying car, a whistling sound alerted him, and he instinctively rolled to avoid the attack.

When he stood up, he saw the tall man he had encountered earlier standing before him.

"Return the knife," the man said, still slightly frowning.

Seeing him, Ji Jing instantly relaxed.

He sensed no malice from the man and, given their recent encounter, felt even safer.

So Ji Jing smiled and refused without hesitation, "Once it's in my hands, it's mine. Why would I give it back?"

The man frowned, about to say something, but then noticed the wolf-head pendant on Ji Jing's wrist and was taken aback.

"Where did you get that necklace?"

"Oh, this one?"

Ji Jing wasn't aware of the necklace's significance and hadn't had time to study it. Seeing the man's recognition, he decided to probe further.

"In the cafe, a strange man claimed he fell in love with me at first sight and insisted on giving me this necklace. I couldn't refuse."

"Impossible!"

Hearing about the cafe, the man immediately thought of "Gray Wolf" but instinctively dismissed Ji Jing's claim.

Even if "Gray Wolf" had fallen for this young Omega, he wouldn't have given him the necklace, unless...

Remembering his military knife was still with Ji Jing, the man guessed the necklace must have been obtained similarly.

This young Omega truly...

had guts!

"Listen, this necklace is important. It could bring danger. You can't keep it. Give it to me."

Ji Jing twirled the necklace around his finger, looking at the man with a half-smile.

"Are you going to give it to me just because you say so? On what grounds?"

"Just on the grounds—"

The man paused after two words, realizing that some information involved military secrets and couldn't be disclosed to this young Omega. Saying too much would also put him in danger.

Thinking of the young man's mischievous nature, the man changed his strategy and said, "I have a necklace here as well, which I can exchange with you."

As he spoke, the man indeed pulled out a necklace from around his neck. It had a pendant shaped like a small fox head.

Ji Jing took a look and said disdainfully, "I won't trade. The eyes on your little fox aren't even gemstones; it's definitely not as valuable as mine!"

Man: "...This isn't an ordinary pendant; it's a power exoskeleton made of magic silver."

With that, the man demonstrated its use to Ji Jing.

He gripped the small fox pendant in one hand, and the next moment, a layer of silver film spread from his palm across his entire body.

Within seconds, a layer of silver armor covered several key parts of the man's body, looking both cool and stylish, reminiscent of a mechanical policeman in a sci-fi movie.

In front of Ji Jing, the man performed a vertical jump, leaping over ten meters high before landing effortlessly.

Then, Ji Jing's mouth formed an "O."

When the man retracted the power exoskeleton, Ji Jing almost couldn't wait to shove his wolf-head necklace into the man's hand and snatch the fox-head necklace.

"I'll trade with you!" Ji Jing declared decisively.

After getting the fox-head necklace, Ji Jing eagerly began trying it out. However, when he held the fox-head pendant, nothing happened.

Seeing that Ji Jing seemed about to lose his temper, the man spoke up, "Silver Fox, grant him usage authorization."

The next second, the silver film started spreading from Ji Jing's palm across his entire body.

Once the power exoskeleton was fully formed, Ji Jing tried running a few steps.

He found that running felt incredibly easy, almost effortless, covering great distances with each stride. If he ran faster, it was almost like flying.

Then, right in front of the man, Ji Jing ran farther and farther away, eventually reaching the hovercar and climbing inside.

Immediately afterward, the hovercar flew away in front of the man.

It flew away...

Man: "..."

Forget it; since he hasn't been granted access to the firepower system, let him play with it for a while. He'll retrieve it later.
