Chapter 226 - Monitor

"How is the situation over there?"

"White and Gold are wandering around the Hoobite Rock Garden, looking at the rock's sculptures."

The 'White' they are referring to is Baron Cloud because of his skin complexion while the 'Gold' one is Marquis Jin, or Minister Jin.

"Good. Closely watch over them. Tell those in 'Suits' to be alert with those two's movements."

"Yes, sir!"

Huo Jinghua who sat across Mary Jackson glanced at the direction of Baron Cloud and Marquis Jin who were laughing as they talked about the rock sculpture in front of them.

"This is too exciting!" Mary Jackson squealed as her eyes gleamed in excitement. She touched her dyed hair that was in a braid and she sweetly smiled at Huo Jinghua.

Huo Jinghua's heart melted as he held her hand on top of the table. "You've learned to like these spying things?" he grinned.

Mary Jackson nodded as she looked around the Hoobite Rock Garden. They are currently in the Hoobite Planet. After they had the list of all the suspects, they divided themselves to spy on these people.

Marquis Jin and Baron Cloud will be monitored by Huo Jinghua. He brought with him Mary Jackson who insisted to also go. And so, under the guise of him and his wife on a date, they followed behind their targets. Of course, they hid their identities.

Lewis Johnson will monitor the Bertram and Lix families. With his wide connection, although not comparable with Rayver Quinn's connections, he could still spy on the two families.

Gerard Jackson will monitor the Gav family. It just so happened that the Jackson family is friends with the Gav family, and so he can go visit the Gav family to show concern about their family member who had an insomnia.

Lastly, Harry Walter will monitor Rayver Quinn and Sylv Kang. Rayver Quinn never left the empire, maybe one of the reasons is him really planning on rebelling. Sylv Kang, as a member of the Imperial family, does not recklessly leave the planet with the Alliance and Zergs as their enemies that may come and attack them at any time.

If Rayver Quinn is really rebelling, then he had to consider the only SSS-rank person in the empire: Harry Walter. At first, Kale, as the future emperor, is wary of Harry Walter's strength. However, it all changed when he asked for his help for the sake of Sam. And, Harry Walter has a weakness: Jiang Ce. Anyone who could capture Jiang Ce can use Jiang Ce and trade his life for Harry Walter's life.

"They moved to the maze rock garden!" a voice came from Huo Jinghua's earpiece.

"Was there anyone following them?" Huo Jinghua asked.

"None at the moment." Huo Jinghua's subordinate answered.

Huo Jinghua raised his gaze and met Mary Jackson's gaze. "Let's go!" he said. "Let's act intimate, as if we're going to the maze to… ehem." He coughed.

Mary Jackson blushed when she understood Huo Jinghua's meaning. "You - !" she said and glanced at Huo Jinghua's mouthpiece.

"Keh! Boss, Madam, don't mind us!" Huo Jinghua's subordinates said.

Huo Jinghua sheepishly grinned as he pulled Mary Jackson towards him and entered the maze. While on the door of the maze, he kissed Mary Jackson, but blocking her face on the sight of everyone.

"Bah! They're so daring to do this on broad daylight!" those people said after they saw Huo Jinghua's and Mary Jackson's figures disappeared in the maze garden.

Huo Jinghua blushed while Mary Jackson giggled when they walked around the maze. "We're legally married! How can you blush from a kiss?!" she asked him, which made Huo Jinghua's face reddened more.

Huo Jinghua coughed as he looked away and talked to his subordinates. "Where are the two currently?" he asked.

"A bit north from you, due west." His subordinate answered.

Huo Jinghua looked at the fork in front of them before he pulled Mary Jackson on the right side and entered. As they walked, they really heard voices. He glanced at Mary Jackson and she nodded. They both quietly leaned on the wall. He took out a device that could absorb sounds since the wall is too thick. He stuck it in crevice. Although he can climb the wall, but he might be exposed. It's better to be careful.

"I show my sincerity by allying myself with Marquis Jin." It was obviously Baron Cloud who spoke. "Please. Help my people…" he said and coughed.

Huo Jinghua and Mary Jackson looked at each other. Baron Cloud indeed is asking help from Marquis Jin.

"You sound like I am heartless and bullying you." Marquis Jin spoke.

Hearing the voice, Huo Jinghua's brows couldn't help but knit. The voice is familiar. Although he has met Marquis Jin, but Marquis Jin's voice is different.

He got the answer when he turned to his wife and saw her shocked look. "No way…" Mary Jackson spoke. Although she was stunned by what she found out, she still knows not to be too loud. "It's Rayver Quinn!" she mouthed at Huo Jinghua.

Huo Jinghua didn't even hesitate for a second as he grabbed Mary Jackson and ran away, but his steps are still light. With Rayver Quinn's strength that is close to SSS-rank, although they have the same position as generals, but Huo Jinghua knows he can't beat Rayver Quinn in case they would fight.

"I just want to seek your help… in exchange for my loyalty." Baron Cloud coughed. He is ill! "The fog in our planet is too hostile to us recently… it always storms in our planet. Our natural resources were damaged, and our food supply and other supplies are depleting. It is only a matter of time deaths will occur." He explained. "I remember you have once asked me to ally with you… is that still valid?" he asked.

"Yes." 'Marquis Jin' answered. However, just as his voice fell, his eyes narrowed and he immediately leapt over the wall and looked around.

"Hii!" a group of aliens suddenly gasped when they saw him descended from above.

Baron Cloud who circled and followed was stunned. Since when did Marquis Jin know martial arts?! However, 'Marquis Jin' ignored them as he leapt over another wall, only to almost fall when he was startled from what he saw.

There were two male aliens were making out, and their chest have red marks.
