As soon as these words ca out, Lister suddenly stood up, the worry on his face completely vanished, replaced by extre anger.
"Don't you rebels, who only know how to cause trouble, still have the face to seek out?"
He shouted loudly, then proceeded with so extrely unpleasant insults. He was extrely emotional, wishing he could devour the person on the other end of the communicator.
"I didn't co to argue with you, don't you have any interest in cooperating with us to eliminate Bai Fu?"
Lister sneered, "Even if I am driven to desperation, humiliated by Bai Fu, even hanged by Bai Fu, I will never cooperate with you rebels!"
Bai Fu: "..."
It didn't seem like acting.
So, the Honorable Force hadn't actually cooperated with Lister—was this fake news released by the Leader?
"That's too bad then."
Bai Fu purposely sighed, and then ended the conversation with Lister.
She instructed Virtual Heart to continue surveilling Lister, then left her room and found Cecilia, Julia, and An Ya.
Sniff, sniff〜
As soon as she went out, Bai Fu noticed that Cecilia, Julia, and An Ya were looking at her differently.
"Boss, you sll really good."
An Ya swallowed her saliva, trying hard to conceal her greedy expression.
Bai Fu: "..."
So the Second Awakening Task had evolved her into the Silent Court's number one must-eat?
Oh, wait, she had already been at the top of that list before triggering the Second Awakening Task, so no worries.
"Let's talk business!"
Bai Fu, keeping a stern face, pulled Cecilia and Julia aside and explained her purpose.
She didn't include An Ya because, like the Oath Lord, she too wasn't very good at keeping secrets.
"It's like this..."
Bai Fu shared the issues she had noticed with Cecilia and Julia, asking them to be careful in their upcoming actions.
After speaking, Bai Fu led a troop consisting of ten spaceships and a hundred thousand players to et with Nellis and the Leader's n.
Steel Curtain and Marlon didn't co with her; they stayed behind to protect Lockheed in case Lister's people launched another attack.
Days later, Bai Fu t the Leader and Nellis's representatives on Tem Star.
"Saintess Bai Fu, you seem a bit off. Are you alright?" The Leader looked at Bai Fu, astonished.
Bai Fu shook her head.
"I'm fine."
It was just that Cecilia and Julia were feeling peckish these days. Even knowing they were no match for her, they still took turns assaulting her, making her feel as if she were perpetually bathing. Feeling exhausted was inevitable.
But, it wasn't a big issue; she just needed so energy-restoring dicine to be normal again.
They say it's hard to fight two with one pair of fists, but for rookies like Cecilia and Julia, even eight hands were no match for her!
The Leader did not probe further; he lead everyone into the eting room and started detailing the specific content of this mission.
His central idea was rather than sitting ducks, it was better to go on the offensive.
Capturing N2 last ti was a stroke of luck; if the sent assassin escaped again, capturing him would be much harder.
"Taking the offensive isn't a problem, but we need a target to attack, right?"
"Well said," the Leader nodded and smiled, "Based on intelligence reports from our informants, recently Lister's n were active on the CC307 Mining Star. Considering the Honorable Force personnel were also spotted nearby earlier, we boldly surmise that's their rendezvous point."
CC307?
Bai Fu searched online.
She discovered this planet was located in the Pioneer Governor District, adjacent to the territories actually controlled by Lister and Gustav, and in the sa Governor District as the one where Frank had landed earlier on Bovalia.
Bai Fu pondered.
If the Leader harbored ulterior motives, then, were there really Lister's n at CC307?
She had been having Virtual Heart continually monitor Lister; not once had she heard the na CC307 from his mouth.
She had reason to suspect CC307 was a trap.
As Bai Fu thought it over, a ga task arrived—
[CC307]
The task required eliminating a secret force on the CC307 star, with the reward being four hundred million Experience Points and a blueprint for "Prayer Card Advanced Production Line".
The reward was enticing, but precisely because it was so good, Bai Fu imdiately beca alert.
"This task is very dangerous, far more dangerous than what the Leader suggested!"
Bai Fu didn't say much, just nodded continuously until the eting ended. She then found an excuse to temporarily leave Tem Star and reached a nearby Artificial Planet. She finally opened her communicator and contacted Lister through Virtual Heart.
"Good evening, General Lister."
Whoosh.
Lister quickly stood up and looked around.
"I felt sothing was off last ti. An Upper Catastrophe Level data expert? You're clearly not from the Honorable Force; I've never heard of them having such a formidable data expert."
"Who I am doesn't matter. What's important is that you've now been drawn into a vortex of conspiracy, and if not handled properly, your already dire situation could worsen!"
"Do you think I grew up frightened?"
"CC307 Mining Star, there are rumors your people have been spotted there. Not long ago, the Honorable Force also operated nearby, so the Leader claims you're colluding with the Honorable Force, preparing to assassinate him."
"Utter nonsense!" Lister forcefully slamd the table, ", colluding with the Honorable Force? Haha, what are you hoping to gain from ?"
Bai Fu said, "I want nothing, I just don't want the Leader to profit as a bystander."
