Failing to make sense of it all, he pushed the thought aside and sneered, "What are you doing down here? Your ch squad isn’t even stationed here."
"Who said I can’t co down here just because my ch squad isn’t stationed here? Did you make that rule? Does the general know about it?" Kenny Lin, using Xevra’s identity, retorted with a series of pointed questions.
Koryn’s eyes widened in shock.
This was indeed the Xevra he knew—just as insufferable as ever.
"Fine, look around if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. So things down there aren’t to be ssed with. If sothing happens, not even General Zorik can protect you."
"Relax, I’m not you," Kenny Lin shot back before ignoring him entirely and heading downward.
Koryn ground his teeth in frustration.
What did he an by "I’m not you"? Was Xevra losing it?
As Koryn turned around to leave, sothing clicked in his mind.
"Wait a second. I never touch things I shouldn’t. If he’s saying he’s not like , then that ans he’s definitely going to ss with sothing. I can’t let that happen—I need to keep an eye on him."
Koryn gave up on leaving and turned back, following himclosely behind.
When he saw Kenny Lin’s figure still in sight, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
Kenny Lin had already noticed Koryn’s footsteps.
When he saw him trailing behind, he let out an audible scoff and strode through the corridor exit.
A vast underground space unfolded before him.
It was at least 300 ters high and 1,500 ters long.
The walls and floors were packed densely with countless rows of Cosmorite chas, numbering in the tens of thousands.
As Kenny Lin moved toward the chas, Koryn followed closely.
"What are you even doing here? This isn’t your domain. Stop wasting everyone’s ti," Koryn said impatiently.
"Then why don’t you leave? Why are you following ?" Kenny Lin glanced at him coldly, his tone as sharp as ever.
Koryn was left speechless by Kenny Lin’s sharp retort, and after a long pause, he sneered, "If I ca to your area, would you dare tell to leave?"
"Why wouldn’t I?" Kenny Lin replied mockingly, casting him a disdainful glance.
Koryn didn’t believe him even for a second, but he found himself growing increasingly irritated.
At the sa ti, a trace of doubt crept into his mind.
Since when had Xevra beco so sharp-tongued?
Kenny Lin extended his divine senses over the Cosmorite chas in the room.
Just like the ones that Lorrik’s group had used, most of these were Interdiate-grade chas.
She didn’t spot any Advanced-grade black Cosmorite chas among them.
"Where’s your Cosmorite cha?" he asked abruptly.
Koryn hesitated for a mont before realizing he was addressing him.
"Xevra, are you out of your mind? What does my Cosmorite cha have to do with you?"
Kenny Lin hadn’t really expected him to show him anything.
Beneath the rows of Cosmorite chas, a cluster of machines was in motion.
It seed these chas weren’t just stored here—they were undergoing maintenance or repairs.
He walked slowly to the end of the machines and finally saw the source of the activity.
Above the machinery, a chanical arm extended and retrieved items from a massive cylindrical container, then inserted them into the Cosmorite chas.
Koryn noticed his attention was on the machines and imdiately grew wary.
Was this person planning to ss with them?
Kenny Lin however, had no need to approach it.
His extended divine senses had already discerned what was inside the cylindrical container.
There were glowing, fist-sized crystals, as if they’d been set ablaze, their fiery red hue unmistakable.
A faint smile crossed Kenny Lin’s face as he finally understood what Amalia had discovered earlier in the Cosmorite chas: the strange, stone-like objects embedded within them.
They were these very crystals.
"What are you trying to do, Xevra?" Koryn asked, his impatience evident.
"Nothing," Kenny Lin replied casually, turning to face him.
His eyes fixed on him intently with a hint of amusent in their depths.
This alien seed to be a ch squad captain.
Killing him might cause confusion among the other aliens if they couldn’t locate him.
So, it might not be the best move.
Amalia had advised him to avoid unnecessary trouble for the ti being.
Forget it—better to let this alien go for now.
For a brief mont, Koryn felt a chill as Kenny Lin (disguised as Xevra) looked at him.
The sensation was fleeting, vanishing so quickly he couldn’t fully grasp it.
This Xevra has been behaving very strange.
That faint sense of unease grew more pronounced as his actions beca more peculiar.
Koryn rembered that Xevra had previously been ordered to investigate the area closest to Lorrik’s ship.
"Thanks for the hospitality," Kenny Lin said with a wave before turning around and leaving.
Koryn who is feel sothing was wrong opened his communicator and sent a ssage to Noryn.
He ask him whether he had encountered Xevra during the investigation and if anything about him had seed unusual.
In the eting room, Amalia, who didn’t have the privilege of sitting, stood straight behind General Aelra.
Her upright posture was sharp and imposing, like a blade radiating subtle intimidation.
Several generals glanced at her but refrained from saying anything.
"We’ve already delayed far too long. If we don’t produce results soon, the Monarch might hold us accountable. As the supre commander, General Aelra, you’ll bear the brunt of their anger," General Zorik warned ominously.
"And let’s not forget the embarrassnt this has caused—summoning everyone from other planets only to have Shadron vanish without a trace. If word of this spreads..."
"General Zorik, if I recall correctly, this operation was your suggestion," Deputy Vynar calmly interjected.
Zorik’s gaze shifted to Vynar, his smile carrying a hint of mockery.
"Zorik, it’s ti you curbed your little sches," Aelra said coolly, casting him a fleeting glance.
Although his tone was calm, there was a faint chill in his deanor that hinted at unspoken authority.
