TYMIMA Chapter 163

The next morning, everyone saw Adrian off as he left the hotel for the airport.

The dark side showed no expression on his face and was indifferent to the enthusiastic Ghost Eye members. Only before getting in the car did he turn back to Lucas: “Say goodbye to your brother.”

“Huh?” Lucas was about to habitually mock him when he suddenly remembered his anchor point was still in Adrian’s hands. He could only back down and say quietly: “Goodbye, brother.”

“Mm.” Only then did Adrian bend down and get into the car.

The driver closed the car door, and the business car drove away from Phobos Royal Hotel.

Lucas quickly craned his neck to look toward the road until the car disappeared into the morning mist.

“Can’t bear to part?” Lance asked casually.

Lucas bristled like a hedgehog, quickly withdrawing his gaze and putting on a puzzled expression: “Me, reluctant to part with Adrian? What a joke. I’m only being slightly polite to him because he saved me. Actually, I can’t wait for him to get lost.”

Fata shrugged, used to this: “He just can’t bear to part.”

Dream Witch yawned: “We can tell.”

Lily: “Ah, Lucas, so this is what you really think!”

Abaddon spread his hands: “Why can’t Lucas be honest like me?”

Lucas’s face turned red as he turned and walked away: “I’m not talking to you anymore. You’re all ganging up on me!”

Then, the joint rescue team also had to say goodbye.

Desert City was far away—Ghost Eye Guild would depart in four hours.

After this cooperation, they’d developed life-and-death bonds and no longer looked at each other with the eyes of rivals.

Fulunla was reluctant: “Sigh, suddenly having to go home, I’m a bit reluctant to leave Young Madam.”

Wu Peng: “Though they stole my toilet paper, they also helped block many attacks for me this time. We’re even.”

Mudeli: “A month ago, I never would have thought we’d cooperate so well with High Tower Guild.”

Popov sighed: “Who would have thought? Young Madam even saved me back. Fortunately, Young Madam reacted quickly.”

Kuhn: “Don’t be sad, we’ll meet again.”

Ling Qi: “Right, after all, we’re now in-law guilds.”

Zhan Pingchuan would also return to Desert City with the team. This winter break, he’d first been an undercover intern, then sent on business to Tasman, followed immediately by the AGW Special Dangerous Death Row Prison incident.

Now that winter break was almost over, he should go back to see his parents.

However, Lucas had given him an anchor point so he could flash to Lance’s side at any time.

“Baby, can you still take a plane this afternoon?” Zhan Pingchuan asked worriedly.

Fortunately, that bottle of medicine wasn’t used on Lance. Just applying it to his wrist had made him break out in cold sweat from pain. If it had been applied to such a fragile, sensitive area, he didn’t dare imagine.

Lance glanced at him: “It’s fine. First class can lie flat.”

“I feel sorry for you.” Zhan Pingchuan stroked Lance’s red hair.

“Just don’t play like that in the future.”

Like deliberately hitting his most reactive spots, making him climax four times in an hour, enduring four refractory periods until he was nearly collapsed at the end.

Zhan Pingchuan: “.”

Lance waited for Zhan Pingchuan’s promise and sweet words, but suddenly there was no sound beside him. He looked over puzzledly: “Where’s your response?”

Zhan Pingchuan suppressed a smile, pinched the little fox’s chin, and kissed his lips: “I think baby looked especially cute crying at the end, crying while trembling against my shoulder. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have curled into a ball.”

“You…”

“Let’s have Fata work hard to make one that can be applied afterward.”

“…”

At ten o’clock, Ghost Eye Guild and the others left by car.

Reporters took photos, but unfortunately, the legendary heir only showed his back.

At one in the afternoon, High Tower Guild also checked out and left the hotel.

Atiya ultimately chose to follow High Tower Guild because Oliver was there, and she thought Oliver was the gentlest.

So Mad Clown, Oliver, and Atiya returned through anchor points, while the others honestly took the plane.

Lance wore a baseball cap and mask, covering his features completely. Photos only captured his white suit.

They chose to depart under the reporters’ cameras to create the illusion that they’d stayed at the hotel for all five days.

At five in the afternoon, Adrian landed at the capital airport.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was taken away by Blue Pivot Second District personnel for internal radiation level testing.

Adrian had the urge to kill during every second of cooperating with the tests, but his cute little brother had sent him an anchor point. As long as he focused his attention on the anchor point, pinched it a bit, and imagined his brother’s reaction, he could forget the pain for a while.

The test results came out quickly, showing normal radiation levels.

The Second District team members looked at each other, dejectedly reporting to Deputy Officer Li Chenfeng.

With Director Si trapped at AGW Special Dangerous Death Row Prison, Blue Pivot Second District was temporarily managed by the deputy officer.

Li Chenfeng received the results and his heart sank again.

Adrian was normal, Lan Wendao was normal, even the Howard family members were all normal!

All of Lucas’s associates were clean and innocent. Could Black Lantern Society have just vanished into thin air?

He always felt something was wrong. The underground second-level armory clearly had specialized maintenance every week—how could the pheromone extractor just happen to be damaged by bugs at the crucial moment?

He remembered what Director Si had told him not long ago—

“There’s a mole in the restricted zone.”

Now he completely believed it. From Oliver being silently rescued to the pheromone extractor being destroyed, without a mole, Black Lantern Society couldn’t have accomplished these things.

It was lamentable that Director Si had worked day and night, exhausting himself to capture Black Lantern Society, only to be suspected and excluded from the fishing operation.

“Idiot Benbu, useless Parliament, brain-dead Council of Elders—what a fucking mess!” Li Chenfeng cursed.

“Achoo!” Benbu sneezed heavily in his room at AGW Special Dangerous Death Row Prison, nearly shaking his eyeballs out.

By now, he could make sounds again.

As long as his glands remained, his black liquid could regenerate. It was just that he’d been drained too dry this time, so his recovery took much longer.

After thinking it over, Benbu finally reached a conclusion: “There’s a mole in the restricted zone!”

Si Hongche was under his nose and shouldn’t have had the opportunity to destroy the pheromone extractor on the second underground level of Blue Pivot Building. Could it be that he’d been suspecting the wrong person all along, and Si Hongche was actually innocent?

But if it wasn’t Si Hongche, who else could it be?

Just as he was thinking, voices of other messengers suddenly came from outside his room.

“Lord Benbu, we can’t eat and want to chat with you. Now that twelve of us are trapped here, do you have any leads?”

Benbu quickly held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

The knocking continued for a while before the footsteps and S-level aura outside the door completely disappeared.

Benbu immediately cursed: “What’s there to chat about? I’m trapped here too!”

After cursing, he quickly sent his suspicions about a mole in the restricted zone to the three elders.

Qian Yun twenty-third floor council chamber.

The three elders sat side by side, with news from recent days piled like mountains on their desks.

The development of events to this point could be described as absurd.

First, Si Hongche had sent a ten-thousand-word manifesto detailing the mistakes Benbu had made in this fishing operation, stating directly that Benbu had no decision-making or leadership ability, and that the failure of this mission should be entirely Benbu’s responsibility. As for himself, he only felt disheartened that his efforts had been destroyed by Benbu.

Next came Benbu’s rebuttal.

He attributed everything to the appearance of miracles.

That son-in-law blessed with miracles possessed higher talent and more formidable spatial abilities than him. Given time, even the strongest miracle holder among the messengers might not be his match.

Then came the denunciation of Benbu by the twelve unfortunate messengers.

At the end of their denunciation, they also lamented the harsh survival conditions on the Loracity Icefield and hoped the elders would send someone to bring them back soon.

Not only that, there were even plans passed by Federation Parliament vote to close AGW Special Dangerous Death Row Prison, as well as reports from Blue Pivot Second District showing no abnormalities in their investigation.

Besides all this, reportedly the surviving prison guards had already begun writing documents claiming credit and applying for large Federation reward money.

The Black-Eyed Elder moved a finger, and all the documents on the desk instantly burst into flames, burning to ash.

He ignored the two elders beside him who were sitting with lowered eyes in meditation, stepped toward the window, and with a wave of his palm, easily dispersed the clouds to reveal the full view of the restricted zone.

He stared toward the back mountain, his gaze sometimes vicious, sometimes loving. Finally, he spoke a name without any emotion—

“Ganita.”
