“I will have Bat head over there immediately. Egret will also hurry over to help you! Without initiating the unnatural powers, even you are not their opponent. In addition, Egret is very skilled in the area of digging out and gathering information, which would certainly be a great use to you.”

“Thank you.” Yuria felt much better. These people were the branch ministers under Garen. They were scattered all over the country and occupied a post in each place. During critical times, they could servttttte as powerful special agents to assist in the necessary tasks. Of course, only the minister and the deputy minister had the rights to mobilize them. The person at the other end of the phone was the deputy minister of the Unrestricted Combat Department and was also an old acquaintance who volunteered to resign from the Vulture to help out here... Root Doctor Jiatai. This fellow’s rear service was like no other, while his combat ability was second to that. What he was most powerful at was not in combat but medical practice. There were a multitude of cases of reattaching cut-off limbs, bringing people back to life from the brink of death and whatnots that had been performed by him.

“What’s there to thank? You little brat, what really happened that even cause Xiaojie to be lost!? The satellite records showed that you guys did not encounter any problem at all. It was just like you had a car accident. Someone must be blocking the signal.”

Yuria felt warm and that he was not alone in the fight. He instantly felt much more at ease.

“A robot, which was extremely powerful. I was ambushed and suffered serious injuries from the explosion. It seemed that I was poisoned as well. I suspect that there is a spy on the inside who intentionally poisoned me. I could not use my special ability at all at that time.”

“A spy... poison?!” Jiatai’s tone sank. “Are you sure you were poisoned?”

“Definitely. The person who saved me said so and treated me in accordance with that. It should be so,” Yuria nodded in certainty and spoke in a low volume as he laid on the bed.

The other side of the phone was silent.

“Alright. We had initially concluded that there was a spy. Otherwise, it would not be this easy to grasp your course of action and set an ambush of explosives in advance. Now, we are a hundred percent certain. Did you eat anything before you depart?” Jiatai asked attentively.

“No. All that I ate were the food and snacks you could randomly buy on the way. It was impossible to poison the food because it wasn’t only me who ate them! There were other people in the supermarket as well, and Xiaojie ate them as well.” Yuria replied in a low voice.

“I will report this to the Head Minister. You be careful, and the one who saved you...”

“She’s reluctant to reveal her identity.” Yuria recalled that mysterious girl, and there was a slight surge of emotions in his heart.

“Be careful,” Jiatai did not say anything more but just that, “your position has been determined. It’s best to wait in the same place as our people will be arriving soon.”

“Understood. If nothing unexpected happens, I will.” Yuria nodded.

The two then disconnected the call.

“The call has ended?” A voice suddenly sounded from the back of Yuria. He was terrifically startled.

The voice was very close to him, almost as if it was less than a meter behind him.

Yuria abruptly looked back and saw that mysterious girl standing behind him at the other end of the bed, smiling at him. With his sense of alertness, he actually did not notice anything.

His heart was slightly wary. Yuria suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded slightly.

“Yeah, I’ve got in touch with my friends, and they will come and pick me up soon.”

“That’s good.” The girl nodded. “I have to go too. Take care of yourself.”

“You’re leaving too? Don’t you want to meet my friends?” Yuria was surprised.

“No...” The girl shook her head. “I also have something to attend to.”

“Is that so?” Yuria felt that the deathly stillness on the girl was even more intense. He thought for a moment and asked again, “Can you tell me your name?”

“Sorry.” The girl shook her head slightly.

“Alright...” Yuria did not know what to say for a while.

“When are you leaving?” The girl asked.

“I’ll leave once my friends arrive. It is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow,” Yuria replied in a low voice.

The two fell into silence again.

Suddenly, Yuria smelled a faint trace of fragrance, which seemed to be some kind of a special aroma. It was very light but very refreshing. He faintly felt that his blood was flowing quicker.

“What aroma is that?” His mind was slightly wary. The Qi and blood in his body began to slowly accelerate, and his eyes began to involuntarily concentrate on the towering breast and the petite body of the girl in front of him.

Suddenly, he felt that the girl before his eyes seemed to be more seductive and sexier than he had seen before. Her white dress was slightly translucent, revealing the white underwear beneath it.

The slender legs and flat lower abdomen continued to attract Yuria’s attention.

His breathing started to become heavier, and his entire skin began reddening slightly, but he did not notice it at all. Instead, all his attention was focused on the girl.

“Leave me with the best memory...” The girl gently knelt on the bed and slowly embraced Yuria. Her tender eyes began to close.

The two slowly fell onto the bed, and pieces of clothing were torn open...

**************************

Sitting in the hotel room, Jiatai was wearing a white coat as he stood in front of Garen’s desk. Using one hand to support himself by the table, he had on a serious face.

It was nighttime. Behind the chair that Garen was sitting on, one could clearly see the dark night sky and the huge light beams that were sweeping pass occasionally through the floor-to-ceiling windows. If one were to look down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see countless yellow-white lights and traffic flowing slowly like liquid mercury. A large number of light beams were sweeping everywhere, and huge billboards and various lights were shining inconspicuously. The entire bustling night view of the ??Lily of the Valley could be seen.

“...The entire situation is as such. I have asked Egret and Bat to head over there. They should be able to be of help.” Jiatai frowned.

“About the spy... What do you think?” Garen asked as he sat on his seat with one leg crossed over the other, seemingly indifferent.

“I suspect that the spy is very likely to have been by Yuria’s side all along. Otherwise, the spy would not have been so concealed and could timely grasp his whereabouts.” Since the transfer from the Vulture to becoming one of Garen’s men, Jiatai had shed off the previous decadence and had quickly mastered the power of the entire new department. At the same time, he had also recruited some of his good friends and some unfamiliar powerhouses from the Vulture and other places. Coupled with the recruitment of a few powerhouses due to Garen’s fame, this had formed the current Unrestricted Combat Department which was under Garen’s command. It was called the Unrestricted Department in short. On the surface, Garen was a minister in one of the Vulture’s branch. But, as a matter of fact, he had actually been placed in the Vulture rankings. Since the battle with Slayer, his position had directly entered the top three and was now ranked third. In fact, he was already the strongest No. 1 in combat strength. Although the first two were outstanding, their roles were mostly reflected in their background and other abilities.

Therefore, Garen’s current title of Sword Master was equivalent to an independent hallmark. He was also the golden fighter in ranked first in the Vulture.

“Bat can still make do. Regarding Egret, I have personally taught him throughout this year, and his ranking has risen to No. 15. His left eye is the latest multi-function detector, and so he should be able to detect who administered the poison and prevent the next possible poisoning threat from the other party. You did well.” Garen agreed.

“That’s for sure.” Jiatai laughed. “I have also equipped him with an internal linear laser, which can be also used for precise surgery at critical moments.”

“During my trip this time, I met an organization called the White Crab Army.” Garen changed the subject. “I suspect that Yurijie’s kidnapping, Kong Xinxue’s problem, and the spy could be masterminded by this organization. Did the Chief find any clue?”

“I will go and ask. The Chief is still at the Holy Capital. You’re also aware of the funding problem this year. The Chief had already argued with the Prime Minister and the ministers for who knows how many times.” Jiatai made a helpless expression.

Such a large organization as the Vulture would naturally require a very large amount of money, and the Chief was responsible for tackling these troublesome matters.

“That is really frustrating. What about No. 2?” Garen asked casually.

“Second Sister went for an exchange visit to the Red Nation. You also know that her identity on the surface is the Minister of Education. This visit is a trip dictated by the higher-ups, and so it can’t be avoided.” Jiatai was feeling even more impatient. “So now you’re the sole principal of the entire Vulture for the time being.”

“Then, I am really honored.” Garen was speechless. Although one might say so, this year around it was still No. 1 who was giving the order through teleconference.

He retold his encounter once again and did not mention the things related to the Soul Seed, instead only focused on the White Crab Army’s over-powerful technology.

“White Crab Army. I have come in contact with this organization before, but it is only an upper-middle-class mercenary. They actually have such a strong technological modification ability... It is indeed suspicious.” Jiatai frowned.

“Could they be Slayer’s force?”

“It is possible, but how does Slayer come to replenish this army with such a large amount of money?” Jiatai slightly opposed.

“We’ll wait and see. Since Yuria could meet the White Crab Army’s robot for the first time, he will be able to meet it for the second time. The other party is definitely paying attention to him. I even have a feeling that they value Yuria the Savior even more than us!” Jiatai frowned.

“Maybe...” Garen nodded.

Very soon, the phone on Garen’s table rang again. He looked at the caller ID. It was Nine-Tailed Fox.

After motioning at Jiatai, Garen waited until he went out before picking up the call.

“Hello?”

“Garen, are there any news? About the White Crab Army and Yurijie’s matter, how does the Vulture plan on handling them? What is the stand of the Unrestricted Department?” Nine-Tailed Fox poured out her questions in one go.

Garen was now in a high position, and so Nine-Tailed Fox and the others were far less than him, be it strength or intelligence. This kind of rate of circumstances changing was neither expected by him nor Nine-Tailed Fox and the rest.

“I can’t answer these questions for the time being, because everything is undecided. However, the one thing I can promise you is that I will inform you as soon as there is news,” Garen calmly answered.

“Li Hua has some matter on her side and needs to make a trip to the Black Federation. She will probably need to your help for protection,” Nine-Tailed Fox paused for a bit and continued.

“No problem. I will send someone over and arrange everything. Have her directly contact Kingfisher will do. I will inform in advance,” Garen promised. He did not ask what the matter was. Everyone had their own private affairs, and so there was no need to ask questions and get to the bottom of it.

“This time, we encountered White Crab Army’s ambush shortly after you left. I was seriously injured and am now recuperating, whereas Li Hua and others were alright and only sustained some light injuries. How’s Ah Xue?”

“She’s been rescued. Should be back soon. She had nothing on her, be it a mobile phone and whatnot. I can only wait for her to come back before knowing more. At that time, you can ask her yourself. The Royal Princess Cruise. She’s coming back by ship and will be arriving at the Lily of the Valley tomorrow morning.”

“I understand.” Nine-Tailed Fox was silent for a while. “Regarding the matter the last time, I’m sorry. I was too emotional...”

“It’s nothing.”

Hanging up the phone, Garen was lost in thoughts.
