"I heard from Horn that you went to the abandoned power station to handle some matters. 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 at that time. Your communicator couldn't be reached, so I had to leave early."
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. However, from the looks of it, this 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 the somewhat unhappy Tie Xuan.
Although he already knew the answer, Tie Xuan was the main person in charge of this mission. He still wanted to get some information from Tie Xuan and try to see what the Alliance's attitude towards him was.
"Sigh, don't mention it. Fortunately, you didn't come in. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for a Water Sprite trainer like you. That Lightning Bird was too strong. 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. What bad luck."
"The difficulty of this mission is clearly beyond the capabilities of the executors like us. It's already good enough that we were able to retrieve the treasure and escape unscathed. Those old guys who lie in the office every 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. He originally wanted to complain to Horn, but now that Horn took the opportunity to slip away, and Kaede Sato was his friend and now a member of the Alliance, he did not hold back and directly explained to Kaede Sato in detail.
"So that's how it is. You really can't blame yourself, brother. If you want to blame someone, you should blame those enemies who sneaked into the Alliance team. If it weren't for them at the critical moment, the Lightning Bird would have been yours."
"As for that mysterious expert obtaining the Lightning Bird in the end, it can only be said that he was lucky. However, he also had the strength. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Lightning Bird."
"Furthermore, the Lightning Bird is a legendary elf. Which trainer wouldn't want it? It's so precious. If the other party is really willing to hand over the Lightning Bird so easily after obtaining it, then it's really a bit of a fantasy. In my opinion, the responsibility for this matter isn't completely on you."
After listening to Tie Xuan's crying for nearly half an hour, Kaede Sato felt that he couldn't take it anymore. He hurriedly expressed his opinion to Tie Xuan as he took a sip of wine.
Although most of Tie Xuan's words were complaining about the mission punishment given to him by the higher-ups of the Alliance, Kaede Sato could roughly understand the Alliance's attitude towards him taking away the Lightning Bird this time. It could be said that it was 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 was taken away by Kaede Sato. Not only did he severely reprimand Tie Xuan and the other main executors on the spot, but he also applied for a special force to track down Kaede Sato as Dr. Dami expected.
"This is really tricky. I hope Dr. Dami has good news. Otherwise, it's better to avoid the limelight for now."
When Kaede Sato learned that the higher-ups of the Alliance had sent a special force to track him, his heart suddenly sank and he felt very uncomfortable.
"That's right. Brother, you're the most sensible one. If only that guy thought the same way as you. Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. Come, let's drink together. We're not going 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 his glass in one gulp. Then, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured wine into Kaede Sato's glass.
"Hey, do you really think that my ice cream house is a bar? Stop drinking. Zheping, come and help me. If this guy really drinks himself to the point of losing consciousness, he'll be in big trouble if there's an emergency in Zi Jin City."
When Huo An, who had been watching them closely, saw this, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and snatched the wine bottle from Tie Xuan's hand and said in a bad mood.
Kaede Sato also knew that it wasn't good for Tie Xuan to drink like this. After all, Huo An was still doing business. Moreover, Huo En was right. Tie Xuan had just been reprimanded and punished. If there were any more problems, he, who had just been a trainer of the dojo, would be fired.
Therefore, as soon as Huo An spoke, he immediately helped to persuade Tie Xuan. After the two of them spent a lot of effort, they finally sent Tie Xuan back to his residence.
After that, Kaede Sato said goodbye to Huo An. Then, he changed his clothes in a secluded place nearby and put on a human-skin mask with hundreds of strange transformations. After that, he took a taxi to the western suburbs.
It had been an hour since his conversation with Dr. Omi ended, but he still hadn't received a message from Dr. Omi. It could be seen that Dr. Omi's negotiation with the higher-ups of the Fengyuan Alliance wasn't very smooth.
He also learned from Tie Xuan that the Alliance had sent a special force to find him. Since the Alliance knew that he was an esper and still sent a special force to find him, it was obvious that this special force had very powerful tracking methods.
In order to prevent his identity as Zheping from being exposed, he thought that it would be better for him to maintain his identity as Shinichi Tatsuzaki and temporarily leave the city to avoid the limelight.
Just as Kaede Sato was taking a taxi to Road 117, two pairs of men and women wearing the Black Alliance's uniform appeared at the place where Kaede Sato temporarily rested in the depths of the forest outside the abandoned power station.
"The scent stopped here. I'm guessing that after resting here, he took a flying mount and flew into the sky. My Haeruka couldn't find any trace of his scent in the vicinity."
One of them, a green haired man with a stern face, squatted down. He parted the grass and looked at the footprints on the ground, then patted Hailujia's head. After Hailujia carefully sniffed the area and shook his head, the green haired man said to his companions, "That's right.
"Looks like normal methods won't be able to find him. Yunzi, it's up to you."
The other burly red-haired man heard this and frowned. He then turned to the black-haired woman on his left and said.
"Hmph, I'll say this first. I can't guarantee that I can find this person. After all, he's an esper, and it's obvious that his mental power isn't weak. The chances of the divination result being disturbed are very high."
When the black-haired woman heard this, she immediately opened her pair of dim eyes and said slowly in a weak tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, Geng Gui came out from her shadow. He opened his mouth and took out a purple crystal ball from his stomach.
The black-haired woman took the purple crystal ball from Geng Gui's hand. She held the purple crystal ball with both hands with a devout expression, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Immediately after, the magatama on her neck began to glow strangely. A powerful force began to emanate from her body, causing her long black hair to flutter without any wind.
In an instant, the purple crystal ball in the black-haired woman's hand shone brightly, but it quickly dimmed.
In the next second, an inconceivable scene occurred. The image of Kaede Sato riding in a taxi appeared in the crystal ball. However, the image was very abstract and blurry. It was impossible to tell what Kaede Sato looked like.
