(First update 5K asking for monthly pass and subscriptions)_3 Silver Art propped his cheek, tilting his head, contemplatively saying, “That’s indeed what was said.”


    “What’s headquarters planning to do now?” Pei Jinye inquired.


    Silver Art shook his head. “They didn’t tell me.”


    Is it because you talk too much?


    Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze, looking at the [Pollution] displayed on the screen, a gemstone embedded in a ring.


    It looked deep green.


    “Even an Extraordinary Ninth Rank has to back down, and this mission’s given to me…aren’t they overestimating me a bit?” Pei Jinye looked up and asked again.


    Silver Art shook his head again: “The Elder said that this time the Federation is conducting a secret transport, and our job is to set off an explosion… sounds simple.”


    “What about the personnel arrangement on the Federation’s side?” Pei Jinye probed further.


    “It’s been thoroughly investigated. There will be two teams; Judgement Place will disguise themselves as a transport squad, and when the time comes, Jin Hu and Lord Kongjing will act together, drawing attention from the front,” Silver Art thought for a moment then added, “The other group seems to be some kind of Investigation Team… They’ll pretend to be bodyguards, secretly escorting the real Sealed Object away…”


    Seeing Pei Jinye lost in thought.


    Silver Art whispered, “The Elder said this mission is quite dangerous, complete it if possible… If this Sealed Object reaches the Western Continent, it will pose an unpredictable danger to headquarters.”


    He paused for a moment.


    Silver Art continued, “Headquarters is currently causing trouble in the Western Continent. That will draw the attention of many Ninth Ranks… When the time comes, we just need to act in the waters off the Eastern Continent.”


    Pei Jinye nodded, glanced at the time. “Have they set off already?”


    “About now, they’ve moved ahead, and our actions here are completely secret.”


    “How many people?”


    “Including you and me, 18 in total, all Seventh Rank.”


    Hearing that, Pei Jinye looked up.


    Seventh Rank?


    All with their own Domain?


    If all were to be Devoured…


    Feeling Pei Jinye’s strange gaze upon him, Silver Art was somewhat puzzled: “Is there a problem?”


    “So many talents at headquarters?”


    “Yes, yes.”


    Pei Jinye’s eyes slowly retracted.


    Walking around these people, he found no traces of a traitor, which was quite regrettable.


    “Let’s go.”


    …


    …


    Under the moonlight, the waves continuously lashed against the rocks on the shore.


    A line of bulletproof vehicles modified for reinforcement were parked beside the port.


    Song Shanhe, looking down, walked among the team, dressed in the uniform of the Investigation Team.


    “Aren’t you going to go back and rest?” the plump man beside him asked in a low voice.


    Song Shanhe shook his head.


    With the Sun Family’s downfall, his chances of promotion had disappeared.


    Now, he could only keep his head down and make do.


    “This mission, if successfully completed, is worth at least a Third Class Merit. Accumulating two more… when I get promoted, I’ll make sure that little brat pays!”


    Every time he thought of what happened three days ago in the alley, Song Shanhe seethed with rage.


    “Quiet.”


    The skinny man beside him offered a reminder.


    The trio closed their mouths.


    Then they saw a group of five people appear; these individuals exuded formidable auras, at least Seventh Rank. Song Shanhe and his two companions dared not look again after the first glance, and they bowed their heads in silence.


    It was only after the others had boarded the ship that the invisible pressure eventually lessened.


    “Who are those people?” Song Shanhe whispered.


    The plump man’s gaze turned solemn, “Don’t know, they appeared at the base early in the morning, accompanied personally by the commander.”


    “Aren’t we here to escort the number two of the Eastern Continent? Could those people be his bodyguards?”


    “Possibly.”


    …


    Song Shanhe couldn’t imagine that what they were escorting was not a person, but an object.


    What’s more, even the move to involve the number two councilor from the Eastern Continent was just a ruse.


    The huge ship started its engines.


    Within the most secure room.


    The number two councilor loosened his collar, his face also showing hints of nervousness. “Is everything prepared?”


    “Everything’s been prepared. King Zhou Wen is overseeing the entire journey; within 210 nautical miles, there will be Eastern Continent’s elite forces ready for descent and rescue,” the man in sunglasses replied calmly.


    The councilor initially relieved, then remembered something, “What if we exceed 210 nautical miles? If I’m not mistaken, the forces of the Western Continent have been restrained.”


    “Afterwards, we’ve sought forces from other organizations, don’t worry. The most dangerous moment will be when we arrive in the Western Continent…”


    “You think they won’t act near the Eastern Continent?”


    “They won’t dare.”


    “Hope so.”


    The number two councilor stood up, walked to the window, and lifted the curtains slightly. Outside, the moon shone dimly, no waves in sight.


    Regardless of the speed at which the ship sailed, without any reference points, it was impossible to feel the distance traveled.


    Before long, a layer of fog formed on his glasses. He took them off and wiped them, making the world look blurred.


    Thinking of something, he put his glasses back on and turned around. “Hasn’t Judgement Place already developed a stable method for space? Can’t we just send things directly?”


    “The method isn’t mature yet… and the level of this object is too high. Casual use of spatial transfer could tear the fabric of space… causing irreversible damage,” the man in sunglasses replied seriously.


    Seeing this, the councilor didn’t say anything more.


    Who knew how much time had passed.


    “Thump!”


    The councilor, who was originally fast asleep, was suddenly jolted awake.


    His face showed more fear than surprise as he hurriedly reached for his glasses on the table. But the next second, the ship tilted abruptly, and he tumbled from the bed.


    “Damn it, what’s happening! What exactly is happening!”


    There were sounds of keypad entries outside the door.


    A figure burst in, quickly shutting the door behind him.


    Without his glasses, the councilor couldn’t see clearly who it was, with everyone wearing similarly colored clothes; he mistook it for the man in sunglasses and quickly asked:


    “What exactly happened?”


    “Pfft!”


    A flash of a blade.


    The man clutched his throat, convulsing as he fell to the ground.


    The intruder looked around, pressed the communicator, “Target eliminated.”

    She squatted in front of the man, examining his face, then put on a face mask.


    …


    “Councilor Song, are you alright?”


    “I’m fine. What’s happening outside?”


    “We’re encountering a storm; we’re currently adjusting Element Masters to correct our course…”


    “Keep up the good work.”
