503: Chapter 265: The Wondrous Situation Response – The Death of Des_2 503: Chapter 265: The Wondrous Situation Response – The Death of Des_2 “Unfortunately, Connet got away,” said Prince Bai Jiang, speaking out of turn and shaking his head.
Asimara’s expression beca serious, “They had already sacrificed a Dinsional Creature beforehand, and without spatial blockade asures, there was nothing we could do.”
“I understand, it’s just a sha,” Prince Bai Jiang explained with a forced ugly smile on his face.
Behind him, Feder furrowed his brow.
Asimara had insiders within the Torch Organization, which gave her a significant advantage.
He himself was temporarily unable to contact Li Ming, unable to connect with Azure Dragon and hence unable to exchange valuable information; all he could do was wait anxiously.
“Your Highness, if you had taken action just now, perhaps you could have captured the leader of the Torch Organization,” a deputy commander spoke up.
“Commander Asimara needs to control the overall situation, but how could you just stand by and watch?”
Asimara held a clear advantage, and soone imdiately jumped out to chide Prince Bai Jiang.
“What a pity…” others chid in.
Prince Bai Jiang’s expression remained unchanged; getting angry would only play into these people’s hands.
Yet his gaze fleetingly passed over Feder, who was looking down, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
He had deliberately leaked the information that Asimara had insiders within the Torch Organization, hoping Feder would pass this ssage to Li Ming, and then Li Ming to Azure Dragon.
It seed his hopes were unfulfilled.
Asimara appeared utterly smug, while Prince Bai Jiang’s subordinates seed uncomfortably awkward.
At that mont, an Intelligence Officer hurriedly arrived with a report, his face looking troubled, carefully making his way from the edge, seemingly not wanting to attract attention.
But then another person followed hastily, looking utterly panicked, causing a big disturbance that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Commander!” he knelt on one knee, though he was reporting to Asimara, he was facing Prince Bai Jiang.
Asimara frowned, looked up at the Intelligence Officer who was carefully walking along the wall, his face pale, and instinctively shook his head.
Prince Bai Jiang felt a stir in his heart and imdiately scolded, “What’s so frantic, report quickly.”
“Yes!”
The person kept his head low, deliberately not looking at Asimara, and shouted, “After detailed testing, the seized Boiling Blood Alloy is all precisely crafted replicas, of no value whatsoever!”
Instantly, silence fell in the command room, with most people’s smiles freezing on their faces.
Feder suddenly looked up, quite shocked, as the most valuable thing was supposed to be the Boiling Blood Alloy, and it turned out to be fake?
Prince Bai Jiang slowly exhaled, his cheeks flushed like he was drunk, then quickly faded away, his voice heavy and frowning, “Is this true?
If this ssage is wrong, executing you wouldn’t even suffice.”
“Many materials officers from the logistics departnt have verified, each piece was re-examined over ten tis.”
Asimara’s cheeks twitched, his face expressionless, and Prince Bai Jiang sighed, “It seems, we’ve all been played by the Torch Organization.”
“Huh?
What do you an by that?” his suppressed subordinates quickly picked up on this.
Prince Bai Jiang swiftly said, “If the overall commander’s information is accurate, and this batch of Boiling Blood Alloy is fake, then where is the real Boiling Blood Alloy?
Could these people be a decoy?
The real plan of the Torch Organization might have already been completed elsewhere.”
Every word struck deep into Asimara’s heart, negating all her accomplishnts.
In the command room, people glanced at each other, hesitant to speak.
This major mobilization, only to be sched against by the Torch Organization?
“Still, the captured ones are correct, and the leader of the Torch Organization was seriously injured and fled,” soone couldn’t help but argue.
“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Prince Bai Jiang said with a troubled face.
“Using so many people as decoys, the true purpose of the Torch Organization must be significant.”
Asimara’s subordinates turned red with frustration, proving Prince Bai Jiang’s point that all the Boiling Blood Alloy was fake.
This implied the Torch Organization knew all along they would be ambushed and played into their hands.
Including Asimara, they all beca clowns.
Asimara’s face turned livid, and he spoke in a stern voice, “Enough, integrate the fleets and return to the Land of Stars!”
Unexpectedly, Asimara had been counter-sched, Feder muttered to himself.
Feeling sowhat strange, he looked up and found Prince Bai Jiang looking at him with a gratifying gaze.
Feder was even more bewildered.
…
After leaving the Core Laboratory, Des showed no emotion, walked through the main base’s inner corridors, and returned to his room.
As he walked, unusual glances kept falling on him, and he could even hear whispers, but he was already used to it, as this scene often accompanied him since Brother’s death.
Back in his room, he closed the door, sat in the cramped shadows, and Des exhaled, half of his face hidden in the darkness.
The other half of his face, lit by faint light, suddenly twisted with bitterness and ferocity, gently twitching.
“Azure Dragon, sooner or later…” he gritted his teeth, “sooner or later…
I will kill you, kill you!”
As he expected, after Brother’s death, his status plumted.
Even Benny, the good-natured one, changed his attitude slightly, his instructions beca sowhat commanding.
He was a proud person, how could he tolerate such humiliation.
But for the sake of his life, he could only compromise, and every ti he went through this, his hatred for Azure Dragon grew.
This twisted emotion brewed in his heart, becoming more and more bitter.
“It’s been half a month since my last contact with Asimara, I wonder what the situation is there.” Des thought, unable to contain himself, he tried to contact Asimara.
The possibility of the plan progressing steadily was the only good news that could comfort him.
Soon the connection was made, he eagerly asked: “Princess Asimara, how are things on your end, did you stop Connet?”
“Lord Des…” Asimara’s voice was cold and did not respond, instead asking: “Can you tell what exactly is going on inside the Torch Organization?”
“What do you an?” Des was slightly stunned, not quite understanding.
“I did as you said, found that location, waited for Connet, ambushed them, and even seized a large quantity of items.”
“Then…” Des was even more puzzled, “Why are you…”
“Because, the three thousand pieces of Boiling Blood Alloy we seized, they are all model blocks, all fake!”
Asimara’s voice suddenly heightened, her suppressed emotions burst forth, and in a high-pitched voice, she demanded: “What makes you think deceiving wouldn’t cost you anything!”
“Fake?” Des was slightly stunned, his eyes trembled slightly, and a chilling cold suddenly swept through him from the inside out.
The next mont, the communication link was interrupted, not hung up, but forcibly cut off,
Looking down blankly, his device had cracked from the center, the screen darkened.
A sowhat familiar voice suddenly rang out in the room: “Things have turned out like this.”
The voice was both familiar and strange, like a nightmare.
In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat, his body stiffened, and he suddenly turned around, his cheeks pale and twisted, his eyes darting around in terror as he roared: “Who, who’s there, who is it!?”
The next mont, an invisible gravity descended, Des felt as if he was being crushed by a mountain, his pupils engorged, his skin flushed, and his cheeks swelled into the color of liver.
At the sa ti, a horrifying gaze erged from his shadow, slowly becoming clearer.
“Azure Dragon!?” Des could no longer speak, his teeth felt glued together, he just roared in his mind, feeling a wave of dizziness.
He wasn’t sure if it was lack of oxygen or the shock was too great, but his mind was clear, even experiencing a mont of realization.
He hadn’t been wrong to suspect, Azure Dragon had sohow infiltrated his side, every one of his plans under the other’s watch!
Chilled to the bone, he couldn’t even consider what this ant.
Involuntarily puzzled, why had Azure Dragon let him contact Asimara without exposing him?
A trendous fear exploded in his heart, confusion and shock mingled together, yet none of it could be explained.
Li Ming had no desire to waste words with him, a dagger had already penetrated his skull.
The intense pain prevented Des from thinking about anything, and the last thing he saw was Azure Dragon’s eyes, calm and still like the dead sea.
