Sixty-seven thousand lightyears away from the capital ring was a planet called Green Firmament. This planet's four seasons were as beautiful as spring all year round. It also had a blue sea and a silver beach that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. It was the closest tourist planet to the capital ring.
Many people living in the capital ring would come here to travel and relax during their free time, which was why Green Firmament was also known as the capital's back garden.
An Anathema-class special ops frigate was floating on the blue sea. There was no one around it for thousands of kilometers. Looking down from the sky, this warship was nothing more than an inconspicuous black dot in the sea.
Not only could warships travel in space, but they could also float in the sea and even dive deep into the sea like a submarine. Having a warship was equivalent to having a mobile home.
However, Xia Feis home was not luxurious at all, and it could hardly even be considered comfortable, for in Xia Feis mind, warships were made for combat. Xia Feis comfortable sofas and beds had long been thrown into the trash, replaced by a narrow and hard single bed.
Avrils did not complain about the shabby bathroom or the hard bed. She was satisfied as long as she could be with Xia Feis.
She was very curious about Xia Feis home. This was the first time she learned that a bed could be so small and hard. It turned out that the kitchen was not necessarily filled with delicacies. It turned out that Xia Feis home was such a shabby place, traveling alone from one end of the galaxy to the other.
At this moment, there were two recliners on the deck of the warship, a small round table, and an umbrella. Xia Feis was lying on the recliner alone, using the microcomputer in his hand to communicate with Ling Xiao, who was far away in the capital ring.
Theres one more thing missing. We must find this person. The Jian family has many bodyguards and servants. If this person isnt in the hospital, theyre most likely at Sunset Villa. Continue monitoring them, Xia Feis said.
A few minutes ago, Ling Xiao's men had just pulled out a spy that the Plumagers had planted in the Jian family, and Ling Xiao immediately informed Xia Feis about it.
This spy was very smart. He did not use the handheld communication system to report to headquarters, but instead, he quietly left the hospital to look for a public phone booth.
In the developed capital ring, there were still many old public phone booths. The cost of intergalactic communication was so high that many ordinary citizens could not afford it.
A public phone booth was far cheaper than a handheld communication system. It only cost 15 Star Coins per minute to make a call from one Star Field to another, while a handheld system would cost at least 120 Star Coins per minute.
The reason why this nail chose a public phone was, of course, not to save money, but to keep it a secret. After all, it was very difficult to trace a public communication system.
Fortunately, Xia Fei had also sent people to monitor the surroundings in addition to the electronic surveillance wall around the hospital, so when the Plumager sneaked out of the hospital and came to the phone booth, he was immediately caught by the Adjudicators lying in wait.
"What about Zhou Yuqing and those Plumagers in the villa? Do you want to act now? "Ling Xiao asked.
No. Monitor them all. Once we lose contact with those two agents, these people will surely lose their cool and report to their bosses. I don't just want them; I want to uproot all of them, Xia Fei said in a deep voice, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
These Plumagers were already in a state of absolute surveillance, so capturing them was simple, but Xia Fei's target was not just them but all the Plumagers lying in ambush around the capital. He needed to remove the roots of the problem, or else there would be endless trouble.
"Understood. Continue to wait and cast a long line to catch the big fish," Ling Xiao said.
"Yes. Now it's a race of patience. Ive taken Avrils with me, and there's no news of the spy they planted in the Jian family. These people are even more anxious than us. The situation is completely under our control, so remember: We won't make a move until the enemy makes a move, Xia Fei said.
"Then, should we inform Avrils family? The Jian family is about to go crazy with anxiety right now, Ling Xiao said worriedly." That's fine.
Xia Fei smiled. Its fine. Lets just let them fret for a few more days. The more flustered they are, the more our enemies will believe that Avrils disappearance is real. If we want to make this play subtly, we will need the Jian family's help.
"Alright. I'll let you know if there's anything," Ling Xiao said.
"Don't forget; I'll personally deal with Barty and Zhou Yuqing," Xia Fei said.
Ling Xiao nodded. "I understand. I'll send them over to you, but I don't know anything."
Xia Fei responded with a smile. Some things were better kept in the dark, and there would be no meaning in saying it out loud.
Turning off the screen, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs. One spy had been planted, but the second was nowhere to be found. It seemed that he would have to hide here for a few more days.
Thurams strength had far exceeded Xia Fei's expectations. Hundreds of Adjudicators were all in place in just three hours, and the top-notch equipment he needed was readily available. Logically speaking, it was impossible for an equipment department head to have so much power, yet Thurams had managed to do it. Furthermore, from the look on his face, it was as if these matters were trivial to him.
Xia Fei's admiration for old man Qin Mangs was growing. He had no idea what kind of secrets this ordinary-looking librarian was hiding, but it seemed that Xia Fei had made the wise decision to go all out and become a librarian after meeting Qin Mangs, and he had also gained a lot from it.
This gain was not limited to the knowledge in books; more importantly, it was his connections. Xia Fei already had friends in the Adjudicator Headquarters, and there was no telling if there would be a day when they would be of great help to Xia Fei. Just take this time as an example. If it were not for Thurams help, Xia Fei would not have been able to carry out the detailed plan he had in mind.
In these two years, Xia Fei had transformed from a poor bicycle delivery man into an excellent warrior. He had his own company, his own network, and most importantly, he had Avril.
Just as he was thinking, Avril shyly walked out of the warship. She was wearing a pink bikini, which showcased her wonderful figure. Her snow-white skin was like pure white satin, tempting anyone to touch it.
Xia Fei, Im ready. Avril walked up to Xia Fei and said, her face slightly red.
Xia Fei chuckled. "How beautiful, just like an angel."
Avril tilted her head. "Is it really that beautiful?"
"Yes."
"You're so annoying. You're always teasing me."
Xia Fei stood up and jumped into the sea with a splash. "Come, Ill teach you how to swim."
"No, you will drink a lot of seawater."
"I'm here."
"There are sharks in the sea. They will bite."
"No, with me around, the sharks won't dare to come close."
Just as Xia Fei and Avrils were enjoying their beach break, the operation to capture the Plumagers was in full swing, with new information coming in every day.
Two days later, the Plumagers' second mole in the Jian family was caught. Unexpectedly, it was a woman. She was one of the maids in charge of taking care of Avril's meals. After interrogating her, it turned out that she was the one who had snitched on Xia Fei breaking into Sunset Villa, which was why the Plumagers had decided to make a move on Avril in broad daylight.
Xia Fei could not help but feel a lingering fear. Fortunately, this old maid had only been helping Avril make snacks and did not have the chance to actually come into contact with her, or else Avril would have been in danger.
Now that the mole had been taken out, it was time to make a full move against the Plumagers. The entire operation was under Ling Xiao's command, and for a time, the entire imperial capital was in a state of panic. The Adjudicator Union relied on their powerful strength to make arrests everywhere.
The Plumagers hidden in the shadows fell one after another. The Adjudicator Union was not the police, so they did not have to worry too much. The moment they caught them, they immediately began to interrogate them, extracting names from their mouths.
There were a few tough guys among these Plumagers, refusing to speak no matter what. The Adjudicator Union had its own way of dealing with such people. Without them even having to say a word, the mental search ability users would enter their minds and investigate their past and present lives.
As more and more people were arrested, the conspiracies that had been brewing for a long time began to surface.
In the past few years, the Plumagers had transformed from an assassin organization to an underworld organization that specialized in unscrupulous means for profit. They used their women to control many powerful merchants, scraping off large chunks of profits from them.
The scope of the operation and the length of the conspiracy were enough to make one blush with shame, but when it came to seizing the assets of the Jian family, it had taken nearly thirty years from the beginning to the end. It was truly a meticulous plan.
Putting down the phone, Xia Fei stood on the deck of Vampire and stared at the setting sun. The operation was slowly coming to an end, and it was time for him to leave.
For the past few days, he and Avril had been getting along very well, just like lovers, chatting every day and watching the sun rise and set. Their days were simple yet fulfilling, and this was the first time he had experienced such a life since he was young.
No matter what, Old Porters was still waiting for him in the distant Black Abyss, and the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. Xia Fei made up his mind to leave this place as soon as possible and head for the Black Abyss.
What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to leave Avril? Phantom asked with a smile.
Xia Fei shook his head. Nope. I'm just thinking that living in the upper class may not be a good thing. Today, the Plumagers have their eyes on Avril, and tomorrow, there might be some Green Slayer or Purple Slayer.
Gui Ying sighed. "This is inevitable. What can you do about it?"
Xia Fei was silent. He could tell that Avril had some feelings for him, so how was he supposed to tell her now that he was about to leave?
Vampire took off into the night sky, returning to the capital ring in a single warp.
Since Xia Fei was not qualified to pilot a warship into the capital, Thuram had sent someone to pick Avril up from outside the system.
Though Avril was reluctant, she still obediently boarded the ship home. Xia Fei had been talking on the phone almost all the time for the past few days, and from his vague words, Avril could guess that Xia Fei was cleaning up some enemies, and these enemies were undoubtedly the ones who had wanted to kidnap her. She felt even more grateful toward Xia Fei.
Xia Fei! Avril suddenly turned around and smiled at Xia Fei. Remember! Ill always be waiting for you!
With that, Avril ran off with a red face.
