"I heard from Horn that you went to the abandoned power station to do something. Originally, because of the Lightning Bird, I wanted to go and take a look and help you."
"Unfortunately, the entrance was blocked by the Alliance's law enforcement team. I couldn't get through to your communicator, so I had to leave in advance."
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. But looking at you, the mission didn't go very smoothly. What happened inside?"
Kaede Sato took a glass of iced lemon juice from Horn's hand and took a sip. He then said to Tie Xuan, who was a little unhappy at this time.
Although he knew the answer, Tie Xuan was the main person in charge of this mission. He still wanted to get some information from Tie Xuan, trying to get a glimpse of the Alliance's attitude toward him.
"Hey, don't mention it. Fortunately, you didn't come in. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for a Water Elf trainer like you. That Lightning Bird was too powerful. If it weren't for the help of an expert at the critical moment, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."
"Unfortunately, the Lightning Bird was subdued by someone else in the end. I just came back from being scolded. How unlucky."
"The difficulty of this mission is clearly beyond the ability of us executors. It's already good enough that we were able to retrieve the treasure and escape unscathed. Those old guys in the office all day only know how to point fingers. They really don't treat us, who are always on the front lines, as human beings."
...
Tie Xuan was also very sullen at this time. Originally, he had complained to Horn, but now that Horn had taken the opportunity to slip away, and since Kaede Sato was his friend and now a member of the Alliance, he didn't have to hold back and directly explained in detail to Kaede Sato.
"So that's how it is. You really can't be blamed, brother. If you want to blame someone, blame those enemies who sneaked into the Alliance team. If it weren't for them causing trouble at the critical moment, the Lightning Bird would have been yours, brother."
"As for the mysterious expert getting the Lightning Bird in the end, it can only be said that he was lucky, but he is also strong. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Lightning Bird."
"And the Lightning Bird is a legendary elf. Which trainer doesn't want it? It's so precious. If the other party really got the Lightning Bird and was willing to hand it over so easily, it would really be a fantasy. I think the responsibility for this is not entirely on you."
After Kaede Sato listened to Tie Xuan's sobbing for nearly half an hour, he felt that he couldn't take it anymore. He quickly expressed his point of view to Tie Xuan while he was drinking.
Although most of Tie Xuan's words were complaining about the punishment given to him by the higher-ups of the Alliance, Kaede Sato also roughly understood the Alliance's attitude toward him taking the Lightning Bird this time. It could be said that they were extremely unfriendly.
It turned out that the higher-ups of the Alliance who asked Tie Xuan to capture the Lightning Bird immediately flew into a rage after learning that the Lightning Bird had been taken away by Kaede Sato. Not only did he severely reprimand Tie Xuan and other key mission executors on the spot, but he also applied for special forces to track Kaede Sato, just as Dr. Ohki had predicted.
"This is really tricky. I hope there is good news from Dr. Ohki. Otherwise, it's better to lie low for the time being."
When Kaede Sato learned that the higher-ups of the Alliance had sent special forces to track him, his heart suddenly sank, and he thought very unhappily.
"That's right. Brother, you are still the most reasonable. It would be great if that guy thinks the same way you do. Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, drink with me. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."
When Tie Xuan heard Kaede Sato's words, he immediately nodded happily and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in his hand and then picked up the bottle on the table to pour wine into Kaede Sato's glass.
"Hey, do you really think my ice cream shop is a bar? Stop drinking. Zhe Ping, come and help me. If this guy really drinks until he's unconscious, he'll be in deep trouble if there's an emergency in Zi Jin City."
Horn, who had been watching closely, quickly walked out from behind the counter and grabbed the bottle in Tie Xuan's hand. He then said angrily.
Kaede Sato also knew that it was not good for Tie Xuan to drink like this. After all, Huo An was still doing business, and Horn was right. Tie Xuan had just been reprimanded and punished. If Tie Xuan made any more trouble, he would be dismissed as a new trainer in the dojo.
Therefore, as soon as Horn spoke, he immediately helped to persuade Tie Xuan. After some effort, they finally sent Tie Xuan back to his residence.
Afterward, Kaede Sato said goodbye to Horn, then changed his clothes and put on the strange human-skin mask in a secluded place nearby. After that, he took a taxi to the western suburbs.
It has been an hour since he finished talking to Dr. Ohki, but he still hasn't received a message from Dr. Ohki. It can be seen that Dr. Ohki's negotiation process with the Fengyuan Alliance's high-level officials was not very smooth.
He learned from Tie Xuan that the alliance had sent a special force to look for him. Since the alliance knew his identity as a superpower user and still sent this special force to look for him, it was obvious that this special force must have very powerful tracking methods.
In order to prevent his identity as Zheping from being exposed, he thought that it was better for him to maintain the identity of Shinichi Ryuzaki and temporarily stay out of the city to avoid the limelight.
While Kaede Sato was taking a taxi to Road 117, two pairs of men and women in black alliance uniforms appeared in the place where Kaede Sato had temporarily rested in the jungle outside the abandoned power station.
"The smell was interrupted here. I guess he took a break here and flew to the sky on his flying mount. My Haeruga can't find any trace of his scent nearby."
One of the green-haired man with a cold expression squatted down. He pushed aside the bushes and looked at the footprints left on the ground. He then touched Haeruga's head. After Haeruga sniffed carefully and shook his head, the green-haired man turned to his companions and said.
"Looks like we won't be able to find him using normal methods. Yunzi, it's up to you now."
The other burly red-haired man frowned when he heard this. Then, he turned his head and said to a black-haired woman with an abnormally pale face on his left.
"Hmph, let me be clear. I can't guarantee that I won't be able to find this person. After all, he is a superpower user, and it's obvious that his mental strength isn't weak. There's a high chance that the divination results will be affected."
When the black-haired woman heard this, she immediately opened her pair of dull eyes and spoke slowly with a weak tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, a Geng Gui emerged from the shadow beneath her. He opened his mouth and took out a purple crystal ball from his stomach.
The black-haired woman took the purple crystal ball from the Geng Gui's hand. She held the purple crystal ball with both hands with a pious expression and slowly closed her eyes.
Then, the magatama on her neck began to shine with a strange light. A powerful force began to emanate from her body, causing her long black hair to flutter even though there was no wind.
In a split second, the purple crystal ball in the black-haired woman's hand suddenly shone brightly, but quickly dimmed.
In the next second, an incredible scene appeared. The image of Kaede Sato in a taxi appeared in the crystal ball.
However, the image was very abstract and blurry. It was impossible to see what Kaede Sato looked like.
