"Yes, something is missing. But do you know what it is?" Colonel Keno asked.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but it seems to be something very important, or something very valuable," Jiang Fei said casually.
"Alright, it's fine if you don't know." Colonel Keno nodded and changed the topic.
"The Consul wants to see you tomorrow, right?" Colonel Keno asked.
"Yes, it seems so." Jiang Fei nodded. If he did not know that the Consul wanted to recruit him, he would not have rushed down to the eleventh floor.
Although he did not gain anything from this adventure, Jiang Fei had at least eliminated one suspicious location. Now, it seemed that the Snow Beasts were most likely to be in the underground of the Life Extension Center.
When he thought about it, it made sense. In the beginning, when the Development Team did not exist, the Life Extension Center was the only place that could communicate with the three-dimensional world. Although the channel they used was different from the Development Team, it was also through the Snow Beasts. Therefore, it was very reasonable that the Snow Beasts were in the Life Extension Center.
Now that he had eliminated one suspicious location, Jiang Fei's goal was even clearer.
"Do you have any plans?" Colonel Keno asked after a moment of silence.
"Who knows why the Consul wants to see me? What plans can I have?" Jiang Fei deliberately played dumb.
"Let's not beat around the bush. Although you are from a poor family, I know that you are a smart person. Don't you know why the Consul wants to see you?" Colonel Keno did not want to beat around the bush with Jiang Fei.
"Hehe …" Jiang Fei laughed, but he did not continue the conversation.
"Since you're pretending to be confused, I'll be the one to bring this matter to light." Colonel Keno shook his head helplessly, then said to Jiang Fei, "I don't care if you're really stupid or just pretending to be. Either way, if the Archon wants to see you tomorrow, it means that he wants to recruit you. And the reason he wants to recruit you is very simple. He wants you to keep me in check."
"Oh!" Jiang Fei answered in a daze.
"Although the Consul is playing with the Art of Balance, I hope you understand that we are not enemies," Colonel Keno said to Jiang Fei.
"We were never enemies in the first place!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"That's right, we're not enemies, but the Consul hopes that we can confront him, so we have to give him face. On the surface, we have to oppose each other, but in private, I hope that we can communicate with each other if there's any conflict, to avoid unnecessary conflict," Colonel Keno said.
"Sure!" Jiang Fei nodded. Since Keno had already said so much, if he continued to play dumb, Keno would look down on him.
"Then it's a deal! You're just starting out. If there's anything you need, just let me know, "Colonel Keno said.
Because the Consul would definitely not sit idly by and watch Colonel Keno dominate. This was the art of balancing the ruler. Especially after suffering a loss from the sheriff, the Consul would pay more attention to balancing the strength of his subordinates to prevent them from threatening his rule.
Therefore, even without Jiang Fei, the Consul would have trained someone else to be his opponent to prevent Colonel Keno from growing too powerful.
Under such circumstances, of course, Keno was willing to sell Jiang Fei a favor in advance. If the two of them only put on a show of discord in front of the Consul, then their lives would be much better.
After a simple verbal agreement was reached, Colonel Keno chatted with Jiang Fei for a while. The two of them did not sign any agreement. After all, this kind of thing could only be tacitly understood. If there was any evidence, both of them would be in deep trouble.
"Alright, I still have something to do here. The matter of the B11 is very troublesome. I'll have to focus on it for the time being. If you need anything, ask Chinoke to look for me," Colonel Keno said as he stood up.
"Alright, you can go do what you need to do." Jiang Fei smiled.
From the beginning to the end, Keno did not ask Jiang Fei about the robbery in the B11. In his opinion, Jiang Fei did not have the ability and reason to do such a thing. In Keno's eyes, a country bumpkin like Jiang Fei would never know the secret of the B11.
In fact, it was not only Keno who thought so. Everyone else had the same thought. Jiang Fei's identity as someone from the slums made him the first to be a suspect. This was because a guy from the slums did not even have the qualifications to enter the B10. It was impossible for him to know the existence of the B11.
After sending off Colonel Keno, Jiang Fei's lips curled into a smile. This result was within his expectations. His purpose of stealing these Moon Crystals was to cause chaos in the Gamma Realm. Therefore, Jiang Fei planned to find an opportunity to spread the news of the theft of the Moon Crystals in two days. This way, the people in the Gamma Realm would fall into a state of panic. Only then would they crazily rush to the banks and run on the Moon Crystals.
This way, the attention of all the ruling class, including the Archon, would be focused here. This way, Jiang Fei would have the opportunity to sneak into the Life Extension Center.
Of course, Jiang Fei would not release this news blindly. After all, he had stored the Moon Crystals in the Inheritance Space. Even if these people went to heaven, they would not be able to find them again. Therefore, they could not make up for the loss of the Moon Crystals. The only thing the ruling class of the Gamma Realm could do was to keep this secret. Only then could society maintain stability. Once the news was leaked, chaos would follow.
Therefore, Jiang Fei did not need to worry at all. He had the initiative. He could talk to the Archon first. If he could directly obtain a higher authority and the right to freely enter and exit the core of the Life Extension Center, he could immediately release the news and create chaos. If he could not obtain these authority for the time being, Jiang Fei could slowly build up the authority and gain the Archon's trust.
It was not until he obtained these authority that Jiang Fei released the news. After all, the Moon Crystals could never be found. Therefore, the remote control bomb in Jiang Fei's hand would never fail. He had the authority to detonate it at any time!
On the other hand, Colonel Keno led his men to investigate everywhere. They almost turned the entire building of Life Extension upside down. However, they found nothing. This was because Jiang Fei had already used his authority to clean up the traces he left behind. Now that Colonel Keno had brought his men over, what else could they find?
Therefore, Colonel Keno and the higher-ups of the building of Life Extension were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. However, Jiang Fei was happy and content. He ate his meals and went to work. In the eyes of those people, he was a country bumpkin who knew nothing. Ignorance made him fearless.
