Chapter 913: Chapter 3: Ace Team_3
Only to extinguish the flas of hatred.
Gongsun Ce spoke, his words carrying an undeniable determination as expected by all, like a quietly burning fire: “Air-drop high-level forces, raid teor City, and decapitate Gaius as fast as possible…”
He raised his head amidst the worried gazes of the crowd and smiled: “I wouldn’t say sothing like that.”
Big Brother wiped the sweat off his forehead: “You scared , Ah Ce! I really thought you’d rush in recklessly.”
“One must learn lessons.” Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses, “Being toyed in others’ sches so miserably before, and now jumping headfirst into the enemy’s headquarters with zero intel, wouldn’t that be too foolish?
Fight we must, but let’s first understand the situation before proceeding. If he has a grand plan, we’ll find a way to pry open its corners, and break it piece by piece; if he has strong subordinates, we’ll first eliminate his claws one by one.”
Gongsun Ce crossed his legs and snapped his fingers like a delinquent: “Ha! Rarely do we take the lead in an assault. We must prepare well before making our move, otherwise it’s a loss, isn’t it?”
The young miss patted his head: “Ah Ce, you’re becoming more like Yan Qi.”
“He is my master after all, it makes sense to resemble him.” Gongsun Ce accepted it easily, “Co on, let’s talk about the intel we currently hold.”
Orianna looked at him with a gaze almost of relief, feeling that her friend had indeed grown, no longer the impulsive, mistake-prone boy he once was.
She took out a crystal ball-like apparatus from her handbag, and with a casual touch, projected clear images as if from a projector. The images depicted scenes resembling disaster movies: wild, burly trees sprawling everywhere, squeezing the city; orange flas erupting from the depths of the earth, ravaging the land; chaotic magnetic flows causing tal objects to fly high in the sky, nearly paralyzing the transportation system…
Shiyu Ling was the first to recognize these abnormal yet magnificent natural sights: “Wait, isn’t that Fire Wind State? It wasn’t like this when I visited a few months ago.”
“As Miss Shiyu said, even in the giant-dragon landscape of Ustus, these cannot be considered normal phenona.” Alandia explained, “About a month ago, extre weather varying in intensity began appearing across Ustus. Coincidentally, the upcoming United States presidential election is near, and Gaius Otimis has announced his participation in this presidential race.”
Large-scale anomalous weather, and a man long working behind the scenes deciding to step into the spotlight. Gongsun Ce pondered these seemingly unrelated matters and slowly asked: “Alandia, do you rember the murder case in the White Stone District?”
It was a case they had handled together before, where a live-in maid murdered the lady of the house and used various ticulous setups to make her appearance seem “coincidental.”
Alandia pressed her hand against the brim of her hat: “What we can learn from this is that true coincidences often aren’t that coincidental.”
“Of course, it seems the young lord’s father is planning so moves… It’s just right, I’ve rested a sumr, and should head out for a walk.”
Gongsun Ce stood up, looking apologetically to the girls he cherished deeply. He hugged each of them in turn, speaking with sorrow and guilt: “Sorry, I have to… I must investigate. You know there are so things in life one must complete, and this is my part.”
Qiluo smiled in response: “Don’t say it like that, Gongsun Ce. We’ll be going with you~”
“Don’t joke around.” He tapped Qiluo’s forehead, “This mission is very dangerous, my involvent alone is sufficient. Alandia, do we have teammates this ti?”
“Of course.” Alandia nodded, she took out a paper docunt from her bag and read thodically: “Your planned teammates include Miss Qin, Miss Shiyu, Miss Qiluo, and .”
Gongsun Ce was about to walk over to take the docunt, but upon hearing this, he slipped and fell onto the couch. Across from him, Mo Yuankai pointed at his little brother, eyes wide and mouth agape, emitting a laugh that was akin to twitching, while Orianna pinched his nape forcefully, prompting him to adjust his facial muscles, twisting his laughter into a dignified and solemn yet sorrowful expression.
“Very well arranged.” Mo Yuankai nodded, “Ha… Really good… Haha!… Considerate.”
“How can it be?!” Gongsun Ce shouted in horror.
The young miss was unsurprised: “If this mission had nothing to do with us, Miss Alandia wouldn’t need to explain the details before us.”
“What about Big Brother and Orianna?!”
“They have other tasks.” Alandia said.
Gongsun Ce said, nearly frantically: “No, but… I… I don’t understand Alandia! Shouldn’t we pick the most elite mbers?”
“You are the Creation Realm level force that defeated the Red Mage, Miss Shiyu is a Brahma’s appearance Creator Realm Mage, Miss Qin is the strongest martial artist in our camp, Miss Qiluo is the world’s best intelligence officer…”
Dawn Knight tapped the file with her fingertip, her deanor reminding Gongsun Ce of the awkward monts in the past when he overlooked important clues during deductions. Gongsun Ce wiped his face, incredulous: “Don’t tell … ”
“Just as you suspect, Ce.” Alandia nodded, “Now, you are the strongest team.”
