Garon did not care about the follow-up pursuit. Fighter jets, submarines, and battleships were dispatched one after another. All these had nothing to do with him anymore. What he needed to do now was to bring Mind Reader to a safe place and enjoy him slowly.
"…" Garon felt that this statement was a little weird but it did not matter since he had achieved his goal.
He got into the car and drove towards the airport in Ocean Capital.
Outside the car window, there were crowds of people who came out to watch the show. These people seemed to feel that danger was far away from them and did not have any sense of crisis. They gathered together to watch the show and there was almost no end to the sea of darkness. His ears were also filled with the clamor of discussions.
"They're really not afraid of death," Garon sighed.
"The people of Ocean Capital have been living in peace for too long. Plus, it has always been one of Slann's key cities, so they thought that they would never encounter any dangerous situations," the driver replied with a smile. "Who would have thought that there would be so many massacres and murders happening less than a thousand meters away?"
The driver said while looking at Garon with admiration from the rearview mirror. In the past year, Slann had become more and more famous internationally because of Garon.
Initially, Slann's national policy had always been to focus on defense. They would not fight back even if they were provoked by foreign countries. However, after the emergence of the Grand Swordmaster, Vulture had become much tougher because of the support of military force.
Almost every incident where the Grand Swordmaster was dispatched would end in heavy losses for the enemy. The mission completion rate was more than eighty percent. Their notoriety had spread far and wide in just a year.
Garon shook his head and did not say a word. Mind Reader who was unconscious was lying beside him.
He turned his head to look out of the window. The car was driving in the middle of the street at a moderate speed. Although it was crowded on both sides of the road, no one squeezed into the car lane, showing the good quality of the people.
As the car moved forward slowly and was about to leave the crowded road, Garon saw a group of young people being questioned by more than ten police officers at the entrance of the shop where he had his meal earlier. Cammy Ning and the other two were among them.
The three of them were still in a state of shock as they described something to the police. They were somewhat agitated.
The driver noticed Garen's line of sight and followed his gaze.
"Your Excellency, would you like to make some arrangements?"
Garon didn't say anything.
*****
"I really don't know anything!" Cammy Ning argued, "Let us go, we still have classes. The three of us are students of Ocean University!" She tried to persuade the police officer to let them go.
No one wanted to be involved in such a troublesome matter. This was because such incidents often represented trouble. There would be endless inquiries, harassment, and interviews from reporters. His studies had been delayed, and his plans had been delayed. Before he could recover from the shock, he was exhausted by the bombardment of public opinion and so on.
Cammy Ning really wanted to go back and have a good rest. It wasn't just her. Her three best friends were equally exhausted and fearful as they were bombarded by the police. Before they were cleared of the suspicion of collusion with the suspect and before they were thoroughly investigated, they couldn't leave this place.
"… Alright, inform your friends and family to come over immediately. There are some things that need to be verified."
After a long bombardment of questions, Cammy Ning seemed to have only heard this sentence.
Inform friends and family!!??
Upon hearing this, the emotions of Cammy Ning and the other two froze.
Once the matter escalated to this level, it was no different from those who had committed a crime and were asked to inform their relatives to come over and collect them.
If this news were to spread to the school, even if they were victims, gossip was a fearful thing. In the process of spreading, they would eventually become suspects. It was very likely that they would be recorded in their own files as a tragic incident.
"Can you make an exception?" Before Cammy Ning could finish her feeble inquiry, she was interrupted by the police officer.
"I'm sorry, you are suspected of obstructing national security. Before you are completely cleared of suspicion, you can't leave the police's surveillance range." The police officer apologized, "But don't worry, after we verify that you are not suspected, we will also …"
Cammy Ning and the other two could no longer hear the rest of the sentence. They only felt their ears were blurry. Their hearts were cold.
There was only one thought in their minds: This is the end.
At this moment, a police officer in a black police uniform walked over and sized up the three girls. He frowned slightly and spoke reluctantly.
"Alright, let them go."
The police officer was stunned. The three girls thought they had heard wrongly and stared at the police officer in astonishment.
"I don't want to repeat myself," the police officer said coldly with a straight face. He sized up the three girls again and walked away quickly with his hands behind his back.
The police officer in charge of the investigation was stunned but still followed the order and started the procedures for the three to leave the case.
Cammy Ning's mind was also stunned by this sudden turn of events.
"Look over there!" Suddenly, her female companion's soft exclamation brought her back to her senses. Following her best friend's gaze, she saw a black limousine slowly driving away into the distance.
The car window was half open and a man was sitting inside, smiling at her. He raised his hand and made a goodbye gesture.
"It's Kong Xiaofei!?" Cammy Ning stared at the man in the car in a daze. She felt that life was such a drama. She thought that he was just an unemployed youth but in the blink of an eye, he had become an important figure. One look and she could tell that he was not a simple high-ranking person.
The three girls were speechless and felt a little down. However, the other two immediately got excited.
"Did you see that? That Kong Xiaofei is actually a big shot who hides his strength deeply! "
"We actually thought that he … Do all these big shots like to pretend to be weak? Don't you feel uncomfortable from the shock? "
"I think he must have taken a liking to Cammy. After all, they were high school classmates. Maybe …"
The two best friends started discussing excitedly. Their earlier worries were thrown to the back of their minds and they quickly started guessing Garon's identity and background.
The car drove away slowly. Cammy Ning did not say a word and just watched the car leave quietly. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She felt that life was like a dream, a strange and absurd dream.
"Aiya!" Her best friend suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"We actually forgot to take Kong Xiaofei's number!"
Cammy Ning suddenly felt that her two best friends were not your average kind of vulgar. However, she could not help but feel a little regretful.
She looked at the exaggerated car plate number behind the car from afar.
"Maybe we won't meet again in the future," she suddenly had such a feeling.
*****
Vulture Headquarters.
A special sealed secret room.
Garon threw Mind Reader into the secret room and walked in alone. Then, he started taking off his clothes.
"Why do I feel weird?" He felt a chill down his spine.
He turned around and saw his secretary, Double-Tailed Scorpion, staring at him weirdly.
"I … I didn't see anything!" Double-Tailed Scorpion immediately turned his head away and mumbled.
"…" Garon's face turned a little dark.
He thought for a while.
"Bring me that cryogenic cooler."
"Understood," Double-Tailed Scorpion immediately went out and started ordering his men.
Soon, the cryogenic cooler was moved in and connected to the power source. At the same time, the surveillance camera in the secret room was removed.
The heavy metal door of the secret room closed slowly. Garon threw his shirt aside and looked at the unconscious Mind Reader on the ground.
"Soul Ring …" He injected Soul Power into his eyes and could clearly see the rotating Soul Ring structure on Mind Reader's body.
It was actually a complete Soul Ring structure with a total of five Soul Seeds! It was much stronger than his current Soul Ring.
"What an enviable thing. I worked so hard for so long and only got four Soul Seeds. The Four Great Cornerstones here are actually born with five Soul Seeds and Soul Rings!" Garon shook his head slightly.
However, after careful observation, he realized that Mind Reader's Soul Ring could not be controlled by him. Moreover, the Soul Power that was released was pitifully little. Mind Reader's five Soul Seeds and Soul Rings were more or less naturally formed structures. The nature of the Soul Power did not have the characteristics of Mind Reader's own soul.
"In other words, the so-called Four Great Cornerstones here are actually the hosts of the Soul Rings. They are just equivalent to containers that store the terrifying Soul Power that can greatly affect the entire planet. Just by relying on the Soul Power that is automatically released by the Soul Ring, it can produce all kinds of special effects. One can imagine how powerful and terrifying this kind of natural Soul Ring is."
Garon gradually came to a conclusion in his mind.
The Soul Rings of the Four Great Cornerstones could not be controlled freely like his, but they were far more powerful and terrifying than his Soul Rings. The Soul Power storage was equivalent to more than five times that of his Soul Rings. It was simply a colossus!
"No wonder the Four Great Cornerstones are the core of everything in this world. They are basically carrying the four different origins of the entire world." Garon quickly established the most probable model of the Four Great Cornerstones' existence.
"Then how do I absorb the Soul Power within?" After roughly understanding the situation, Garon began to think about how to absorb the Soul Ring in Mind Reader's body.
"If I just rely on slowly absorbing the Soul Power that is escaping, I might not be able to finish absorbing it even after hundreds of years." Garon was a little conflicted. "There are a few methods. One is to stimulate the Soul Ring and let it release a large amount of Soul Power for me to absorb. This method has a certain degree of danger. If I don't control the intensity and the stimulation is too strong, it might cause Mind Reader to die and reincarnate, losing the opportunity to absorb it. Moreover, if the stimulation is not appropriate and causes the Soul Ring to erupt on a large scale, I might not be able to absorb it. It might even cause damage to my own Soul Ring. After all, the power of my Soul Ring is far from the Four Great Cornerstones' Soul Rings that are produced naturally. "
Garon quickly rejected this method.
"Then the second method is pollution." He circled around Mind Reader. "My Soul Power is mixed with the characteristics of the Hellfrost Peacock Queen and can pollute with the Cold Chaos. In addition, the Hellfrost Peacock Queen and the Nine-Headed Dragon have the characteristics of devouring in their souls. To a certain extent, it can pollute other Soul Power into Soul Power that is similar to my own and at the same time reduce the digestive burden during devouring. About half a year or so.
