Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 213: Opening

"According to the baker and the owner, they’ve been held captive for about a week. During this ti, they were only allowed to contact their families; otherwise, they just continued to make and sell cakes as usual. Their captors would occasionally go out like they did today and lock them inside. The baker and owner thought it was just another one of those tis, but they ended up being locked up for over two days. They said there were two captors in total: Platinum and another Male Beastman. Here are their composite sketches."

Taking the sketches from the adjutant, Lu Xiao imdiately recognized the other person as C Luo.

Noticing her reaction, Admiral Clan asked, "You know him?"

"That’s C Luo," Lu Xiao said calmly. She suddenly realized many details she had overlooked from her own kidnapping. For instance, why the person she thought she saw when she was losing consciousness seed so familiar. ’It wasn’t my imagination. That person was Platinum.’

’And later, when I woke up inside the Black Tower, who was the person watching from the other side of the monitor? Could it have been Platinum?’

’So the real mastermind behind the Black Tower is Platinum?’

’Which ans my running into Platinum at the cake shop that day was no coincidence.’

’They’re hiding here to do sothing.’

’Why have they kidnapped Teacher Sherry now?’ Lu Xiao couldn’t help but worry as she thought about their evil deeds.

Admiral Clan also realized the gravity of the situation. If mbers of the Black Tower were involved, this was definitely no ordinary kidnapping.

At tis like these, Lu Xiao knew she needed to be even calr. "Father, let’s wait. I think they’ll contact again."

Admiral Clan had the sa thought, but he asked, "Your reasoning?"

"They must already know I didn’t go to Alpha Star, so kidnapping Teacher Sherry is likely a way to apply more pressure."

Admiral Clan nodded. "That’s what I was thinking, too."

Soon, another ssage from C Luo arrived. This ti, it started with a picture of an unconscious Teacher Sherry.

The text below it read, "Miss Lu Xiao, please co to this location. You should know the consequences of being late."

Just as they suspected.

Lu Xiao stood up. "When do we leave?"

Admiral Clan looked at Lu Xiao, his eyes filled with disapproval. But before he could speak, Lu Xiao said directly, "Father, I have to go. I can’t let Teacher Sherry be in danger because of . If that happens, I’ll bla myself for the rest of my life. Even if the final outco is still bad, at least I won’t have given up hope of saving her just because I was afraid."

’There are so things you can’t refuse to do just because you’re afraid.’

It went against her principles and her personal code.

Admiral Clan knew very well what kind of young female Lu Xiao was. He also knew that once she made a decision, it was very difficult for her to change her mind.

"Alright." The adjutant, who hadn’t expected Admiral Clan to agree so readily, subconsciously glanced at him. ’In his view, letting Miss Lu Xiao co along was far too risky. If sothing really happened to her, their losses would be even greater!’

’But he could also see that Miss Lu Xiao had made up her mind and probably couldn’t be persuaded. All they could do was prepare thoroughly and do everything in their power to protect her.’

The ti that followed was a flurry of intense preparations and arrangents. By nightfall, everything was ready.

Lu Xiao followed Admiral Clan and boarded the military hover car.

The cabin was silent on the way to the target location.

Lu Xiao broke the silence. "If anything happens to this ti, please tell Ares I’m sorry. I have to break my promise again. I said I’d wait for him at ho... I even wanted to go pick him up. I don’t know if I’ll get the chance."

"How could you not get the chance, Xiao Xiao? Don’t say things like that at a ti like this. Whatever you have to say, you can tell Ares yourself when he gets back. I won’t pass on the ssage for you."

Sensing the fluctuation in Admiral Clan’s emotions, Lu Xiao smiled. "I’m just preparing for the worst, not actually planning to get myself killed. Father, you don’t have to worry too much. I believe I’m more valuable to them alive than dead. Otherwise, why would they go to all this trouble to get ?"

Lu Xiao wasn’t stupid. Back in the Underground City, she had sensed that they had no intention of killing her. ’Is it because I once saved Platinum?’

But now, she didn’t know if that "accident" was a real accident, or if Platinum had orchestrated it.

Everything seed too coincidental.

The destination they sent was still a location on Alpha 3345 Star.

The vanguard team had received their orders and rushed over imdiately. However, just like the entrance they had found before, this place also required biotric authentication to unlock.

Late at night, Alpha 3345 Planet seed unusually barren and desolate.

As Lu Xiao set foot on this strange artificial satellite, she didn’t have much on her mind as she surveyed the scene. At this mont, all she wanted was to rescue Teacher Sherry.

Following Admiral Clan underground, a new ssage appeared on Lu Xiao’s wrist terminal. This ti, however, the sender wasn’t C Luo, but Platinum.

"You’ve arrived, Miss Lu Xiao. Enter the password, then co inside. You alone."

Lu Xiao replied, "I’ll co in after I see Teacher Sherry. Otherwise, the deal’s off!"

After sending the reply, Lu Xiao didn’t perform the biotric verification. Instead, she found a place to sit down. Clearly, she wasn’t going inside until she saw Teacher Sherry.

Platinum’s ssage ca again: "Fine. You open the door."

After receiving the ssage, Lu Xiao conferred with Admiral Clan and they decided to open the main door first.

The mont Lu Xiao placed her hand on the recognition lock, the sealed main door finally showed signs of opening. She had no idea how they had obtained her information.

The main door opened, and the ergency lights inside flickered on. Lu Xiao stood at the entrance. "I’m here! Let Teacher Sherry co out!"

This ti, there was no response.

Lu Xiao didn’t back away. Instead, she stared down the bottomless corridor, waiting.

After an unknown amount of ti, the sound of footsteps grew clearer, approaching from the distance. Then, she saw a man walking toward her, carrying Teacher Sherry. It was C Luo.

Even though it had been a long ti and he had grown much thinner, Lu Xiao still recognized him at a glance.

C Luo stopped and gave a gentle smile, looking as shy as he had back in the Underground City. "It’s been a while, Miss Lu Xiao. Do you still rember ?"

"C Luo, I haven’t forgotten you. But it’s clear you don’t rember what I once said to you." Lu Xiao didn’t shy away, looking him straight in the eye. "Do you rember when I asked you what kind of life you’d want to live if you could leave the Underground City and have a better choice?"
