Ha, looks like Ge Leige didn't realize that he should have been the one asking Lin Jie the question, but now he was the one being troubled by the question …
Lin Jie smiled without batting an eyelid as he looked at the young man who picked up the communication device and began to speak softly.
You're still too young to fight with me, kid.
Ge Leige's current mood was indescribable. He could only take a deep breath and suppress his anger and anxiety. He tried his best to answer the call from Winston, the head of the Combat Division, with a calm mind. "Hello …"
However, he didn't expect the other party to be even more anxious than him. Winston, who had always been known for his steadiness, lowered his voice and roared, "Apprentice Knight Ge Leige, please confirm that you're currently attending Ji Zhixu's birthday party at Manor A16?"
"Yes."
Ge Leige immediately replied, "Because the Intelligence Division doesn't have any missions at the moment, the family has sent me, the youngest son, to attend Rohr Resources' party to express my stance …"
This was also the reason why he had complained to his father through the communication device earlier.
Because the Miyie Tower and the Corpse Food Cult were already at war, the Intelligence Division's role was almost negligible at this time. The intelligence had basically been collected before the war, and the strength of the Intelligence Division's personnel was not enough to fill the battlefield.
Many of the personnel were temporarily transferred to the Logistics Division, which was under great pressure, or were left idle like Ge Leige.
Therefore, he was sent by his family to this boring and extravagant mortal banquet to pass the time … com
"I didn't ask you the reason!" Winston interrupted. "You have a mission now, an urgent mission directly issued by the Elders —"
"Listen carefully." His tone was extremely serious. "At this moment, the subordinate subject of the I-level file No. 0113, the owner of the nameless bookstore named Lin Jie, who is suspected to be above the god level, has broken through the surveillance range of the tower three hours ago and is attending this banquet in the A16 manor."
"And now, because the Tower and the Corpse Food Cult are at war, almost all the personnel have been transferred to the battlefield. At this moment, you're the only one in the Tower in Manor A16."
"Therefore, only you can shoulder the task of monitoring him. Do you understand?"
"In short, your next task is to find him, secretly monitor his movements, and report back in real time. If necessary, you can negotiate with him to a certain extent. However, you must apply to the tower and act cautiously under the guidance of the tower. You must not act rashly. Do you understand?"
Ge Leige glanced at Lin Jie, who was drinking tea on the opposite side. He opened his mouth with a wooden expression and was momentarily speechless.
On the other side, Winston saw that the communication device had been silent for a long time. He frowned and said sternly, "What's wrong, Apprentice Knight of Ge Leige? Please answer me at once. I'll repeat it again. Your mission is to find the owner of the bookstore during the banquet and monitor and negotiate with him appropriately. "
"I know from your files that you've been in contact with the owner of the bookstore. You should remember his appearance and characteristics. You're also an investigator from the Logistics Department. It shouldn't be difficult to find him, but you must be careful to hide yourself."
"This mission is very important and very dangerous. It concerns the life and death of your teacher, Yue Sefu. Please treat it seriously. If necessary, the Tower will do everything possible to help you. Do you understand?"
"If you do, please reply immediately."
Ge Leige said, "I understand, but …"
Winston raised his voice, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice. "But? Apprentice Knight, you don't have the right to voice your opinion. This is a compulsory mission. If you want to refuse, please think about your family first. To the Mystic Tower, even a Magus family with a long history is still insignificant. "
He could understand the fear in the heart of the person who was given this mission.
Facing the pressure of an existence that surpassed the Gods alone was no different from looking into the abyss. Death would follow closely behind.
But at the same time, to the Mystic Tower, this was a desperate gamble that couldn't be refused.
"No, I don't want to refuse. Rather, I'm happy to help. It's just that there's a situation that I have to report …"
Ge Leige paused and adjusted his emotions. He coughed twice and tried to speak as calmly as possible. "… Actually, he's right across from me."
"…"
"…"
Winston was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath. "Across?"
Ge Leige replied, "Yes."
Winston asked, "How close?"
Ge Leige glanced at Lin Jie, who seemed to be appraising the decorations in the room, and said softly, "Erm … a table so close."
Didn't that mean they'd already met?!
Winston's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Even though he had experienced countless battles on the battlefield, it couldn't compare to the excitement of the ups and downs now. His heart almost stopped beating.
They had planned carefully for half a day before they dared to contact the only person from the Mystic Tower present at the banquet. In the end, they were told that the final boss was already at the door.
Calm down, calm down.
Winston took a deep breath. Since the owner of the bookstore was already on the opposite side, it meant that … their actions had already been seen through.
Moreover, Ge Leige's identity had also become the condition for only one person to contact in the entire banquet.
Could it be that even this was part of his plan?!
From guiding Joseph and Wilde to colliding again, to starting the war between the Secret Rites Tower and the Corpse Food Cult, to unexpectedly joining the banquet, every step up to this moment seemed to be closely linked and had gone through a tight layout.
Was this the legendary "omniscient and omnipotent"? If so, they could only continue.
Winston changed his plan at the last minute and said, "Listen, Apprentice Knight. Yue Sefu and Wang Erde have already started fighting, and the situation is not good because Yue Sefu's daughter, Melissa, was tricked by the people controlled by the Road of Fire Sword into joining the encirclement of the Corpse Food Cult. Although her life isn't in danger now, as long as she's on the battlefield, she'll become the enemy's hostage. Yue Sefu … is already at a disadvantage.
"The deeper the hatred buried in Wang Erde's heart that year, the crazier he is now. After so many years, his cruelty and cunning are even more than before. Yue Sefu's heart is tied down, and to Wang Erde, everyone is just a tool. Therefore, we have to find other ways to break through."
Ge Leige tightened his grip on the communication device. Thinking of Lin Jie's almost explicit words, his heart sank. As expected …
But no matter how strong Wang Erde was, wasn't he only at the Annihilation Grade? The Mystic Tower was an organization that could fight against a God-level organization. Didn't they provide support?
Winston seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Unfortunately, the Mystic Tower can't deal with it now. Although it's hard to believe … about ten minutes ago, which was a few minutes before I decided to contact you, we monitored the center of the battlefield —"
"Two God-level waves appeared."
