Chapter 357: Chapter 194: Battle of Wits and Courage_2 Chapter 357: Chapter 194: Battle of Wits and Courage_2 Under the surveillance of the laptop’s cara and microphone, the Auxiliary Brain suddenly detected soone knocking on Yan Fei’s door and imdiately inford him of the situation.
Yan Fei was shocked to discover that soone was knocking on his door. At this ti, it was past midnight in Paris, already deep into the night. Moreover, it was a wild, stormy night in Paris, with lightning and thunder, essentially keeping everyone indoors and putting a halt to the usual vibrant nightlife. At this hour, no one would typically be out and about. The personnel Yan Fei brought to Paris had already gone to bed early; they would not be the ones knocking at his door. Therefore, soone knocking at this ti was definitely not normal.
A bad feeling suddenly surfaced in Yan Fei’s mind as he rembered sothing. He had previously let people associate him with the Destroyer, leading them to believe he had the Destroyer as a powerful backup, deterring them from dealing with him haphazardly. However, Yan Fei had overlooked a possibility—that others, knowing the Destroyer stood behind him, might consider him to be the Destroyer, believing the two to be the sa person.
If soone really considered this possibility, then after losing track of the Destroyer and the Drone in the Paris downtown area, they would certainly think of Yan Fei, who was also in Paris. He would beco their suspect. Therefore, they would certainly check the hotel where Yan Fei stayed. Once they found that Yan Fei was not at the hotel, he would imdiately beco their pri suspect.
Considering this possibility, Yan Fei broke out in a cold sweat. With a thought, the newly upgraded Drone rapidly ascended to the sea surface, then hovered mid-air. After finding the right direction, it headed towards the Paris downtown area at three tis the speed of sound.
During the ti Yan Fei lay low in the ocean trench, the extre weather in the sky had completely dissipated. The dark clouds had vanished, the lightning was gone, the fierce winds turned gentle, and the downpour beca a drizzle. Now, compared to before, it was as if they were two different worlds.
Yan Fei was currently off the coast of France, about two hundred kiloters in a straight line from the Ritz Hotel in downtown Paris. If the Drone raced at three tis the speed of sound, it would take about three and a half minutes to get back to the Ritz Hotel from here. However, this is France, where radars cover the land. If the Drone chose to fly at high speed, the likelihood of being detected by ground radars was very high, and it might even encounter another round up by the US Forces and the French Air Force.
However, Yan Fei instinctively felt that he was in a very precarious situation. If not handled correctly, it would bring him trendous trouble. So, he had no choice but to have the Drone travel urgently at low altitude, skimming the ground on its way back to Paris downtown.
Yan Fei’s luck had been terribly bad this evening, but his command of the Drone flying back downtown proved to be very smooth. Flying low and at high speed, it surprisingly evaded detection by any ground radar. It was late at night, and the earlier extre weather had kept everyone asleep at ho, so there were hardly any people out and about to witness a massive object flying past just five ters above the ground at high speed.
Not until the Drone entered the Paris downtown area was it detected by anyone. It seed that General Bolton of the US Forces and the French Authorities, upon losing track of the escaping Drone, had promptly lifted all alerts in resignation, for no one could have anticipated that the Drone would return to Paris. This stroke of luck allowed Yan Fei to safely return to downtown Paris. And by this ti, only 180 seconds had passed.

Outside Yan Fei’s room, Xiaolan was holding a small computer, working on unlocking the room’s electronic lock, while Zhuge Liuyun stood to the side, positioning his body to obstruct the hallway’s surveillance cara from capturing Xiaolan’s actions.
Zhuge Liuyun, observing Xiaolan’s work, displayed an excited expression and said, “Xiaolan, we’ve been knocking and there’s no response from inside. Seems like Yan Fei really isn’t in the room. He surely has issues; I think he might indeed be the Destroyer.”
As Xiaolan swiftly unlocked the door using the computer, she said, “Right now, it does seem likely that Yan Fei is the Destroyer. However, until we see Yan Fei personally, it remains a suspicion, and we can’t convict him.”
Zhuge Liuyun said, “Yan Fei is not in his room this late, so where has he gone? I just asked the bellhops at the hotel entrance, and they haven’t noticed Yan Fei leaving the hotel. This ans that Yan Fei must have left the hotel discreetly, disguised as the Destroyer to steal special items. Isn’t this clear evidence enough to prove that he is the Destroyer?”
After successfully unlocking the door, Xiaolan pushed assertively, and Yan Fei’s room door swung open. She put away the small computer, and the two hurried into Yan Fei’s room, then closed the door behind them.
Xiaolan carefully switched on the room lights, only to see the bed sheets neatly arranged and no sign of Yan Fei. Zhuge Liuyun cautiously pushed open the other doors in the room, only to find them empty; Yan Fei had vanished.
Xiaolan scrutinized everything in the room and noticed it was very tidy, making it seem as though Yan Fei had never used the room. There was nothing belonging to Yan Fei to be found.
