Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Uninvited Guest
The cara’s abilities went far beyond creating an amusent park; in the hands of those with sinister intentions, it could yield trendously evil effects.
In the smallest scale, it could alter political landscapes, and on a larger scale, it could change eras.
Considering the Foundation’s theories about altering realities and the future… Lin Yaying’s decision to blacklist Ms. Harlowin was probably just because she possessed this cara.
But Lin Yaying’s information was likely outdated, as she wouldn’t have known Ms. Harlowin was trapped in the world within the photo.
Of course, this was just Chen Ke’s speculation.
Holding the cara in one hand, Chen Ke summoned a Black Knight’s arm armor and then ignited An Helei’s Magic Flas, letting the high temperature slowly lt the cara.
The white shell of the cara emitted a foul stench as the lens cracked with a loud pop, the heat making Ms. Harlowin step back.
Perhaps it was her first ti witnessing Holy Relics and Transcendent Skills up close, Ms. Harlowin covered her nose, her eyes fixed intently on Chen Ke’s right hand, a look of novelty on her face.
The cara shell completely dissolved, leaving only so charred tal parts in Chen Ke’s palm, which hadn’t lted due to the temperature not being high enough.
In Chen Ke’s eyes, the remains of the cara no longer carried the information box of a mutated object; it had thoroughly transford into a lump of trash.
He couldn’t keep the cara for his own use, since it was highly possible that it was a key piece in determining whether the assassination contract was fulfilled.
If destroying the cara could satisfy Lin Yaying, then he wouldn’t have to kill Ms. Harlowin after all. She was just a woman chasing an elusive dream.
“Ms. Harlowin… I have a few questions for you, and they’re important, so I hope you answer truthfully,” Chen Ke said as he threw the remains of the cara to the ground, then recalled his arm armor.
“Um… yes, please ask…” Ms. Harlowin sat down.
“Do you know Li Moyang?” Chen Ke asked bluntly.
“Li Moyang…” Upon hearing that na, Ms. Harlowin fell into a mont of recollection.
Her expression indicated that she knew of Li Moyang.
“I rember he’s the son of the President of Li’s Heavy Industry,” Ms. Harlowin replied.
“So… you know him…?” Chen Ke said, sowhat disappointed, as Ms. Harlowin’s acquaintance with Li Moyang ant that the assassination contract might have little to do with the cara.
“Not exactly. Eleven years ago, I accompanied Anderson to the Fei Huang Republic for a business eting and t the President of Li’s Heavy Industry, who ntioned his son,” Ms. Harlowin explained.
“Have you ever t him?” Chen Ke asked.
“Never t him, not once,” Ms. Harlowin shook her head.
“Just a na you heard in conversation a decade ago… How can you rember it so clearly?” Chen Ke questioned.
“I rember everything that happened that day very clearly; it was in 1998. I bought that cara on the streets of the Fei Huang Republic that day,” Ms. Harlowin replied.
“Oh…” Chen Ke was at a loss for words, realizing Ms. Harlowin indeed had no connection with Li Moyang.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Ms. Harlowin appeared puzzled.
“Ms. Harlowin… what do you intend to do next? Hmm?” Chen Ke did not answer her question.
“I… I might report to the police… but obviously, I’m standing in front of an agent from the Administration Bureau, so I think I might first ask for your advice? You said everything was caused by Anderson, so what will the board do about him?” Ms. Harlowin inquired.
“Ms. Harlowin, in their eyes, you’ve been dead for a long ti, and your husband has been replaced by your clone in this world to continue modeling, and that has been going on for quite so ti…” Chen Ke shook his head.
“I… I suppose that’s sothing he would do,” Ms. Harlowin’s hands trembled slightly, but she still managed to maintain the poise of a mature woman.
“But there’s still a chance, especially since the outside world doesn’t know all about this cara,” Chen Ke stated.
Anderson knew it would only be a matter of ti before his wife was freed from the photo, as Chen Ke had killed Felipe and destroyed the cara, so the clones still out there would also vanish.
“I could denounce Anderson… he’s committed at least two major cris: harboring a mutated object and intentional harm. Plus, you already know what happened to ,” Ms. Harlowin declared.
Indeed, Ms. Harlowin was correct, but unfortunately, Chen Ke was not from the Administration Bureau, and in this case, he did not want to involve Diana.
“I’m sorry, but this is a classified mission, and I can’t provide any testimony,” Chen Ke stated, not wanting Ms. Harlowin to spread the word either; the fewer people who knew, the better.
“That’s not fair… then I…” Ms. Harlowin was sowhat at a loss.
“My advice is not to denounce your husband if you still consider him your spouse. He must already know sothing’s gone wrong since I just destroyed the cara. Your duplicates out there would’ve likely vanished,” Chen Ke stated.
“I… I understand,” Ms. Harlowin grasped what Chen Ke ant.
With no more duplicates, her real self had returned, essentially rendering the past as if Anderson had rely dread it up.
“I can’t denounce you in court, but I remain an agent of the Administration Bureau, and the Bureau is aware of this situation,” Chen Ke reminded.
“Will you help ?” Ms. Harlowin asked.
“Give your husband my number, then remind him that the Administration Bureau is always watching him,” Chen Ke smiled.
“Alright… I will,” Ms. Harlowin said as she wrote down Chen Ke’s number. Looking at Chen Ke, she was unsure how to repay him.
“How can I thank you?” Ms. Harlowin asked.
“Stay away from Li Moyang…” Chen Ke stated.
“I can certainly do that… I don’t even know him…” Ms. Harlowin nodded.
“And if you encounter any mutated objects again, don’t play around with them. Contact right away,” Chen Ke directed.
“Um… if I ever co across any such things again… I’ll call you,” Ms. Harlowin replied.
Chen Ke and Ms. Harlowin exited the building to find themselves in a large warehouse, which Ms. Harlowin imdiately recognized as belonging to Lescott Spirit Production’s logistics company.
Though they had been busy in the photo world for a long ti, ti in the photo was computed separately, so only about half an hour had passed when they erged.
“You know the way ho, right?” Chen Ke asked.
“I’m still thinking about how to face Anderson,” Ms. Harlowin shook her head.
Just then, the sound of screeching brakes ca from outside the warehouse.
The warehouse door slowly opened, and through the towering shelves, they saw several black sedans parked outside.
Standing at the doorway of a small building on the second floor of the warehouse, they watched as a group of gunn erged from the sedans, one of whom was a stout middle-aged man with a cane walking into the warehouse.
“That’s my husband…” Ms. Harlowin said.
Chen Ke pulled out his 67-style pistol, sensing trouble from the arrivals.
