When he opened the door, a scene of chaos awaited him outside. The soldiers had detained numerous individuals, but a few managed to slip past them.
These intruders were unsure of Liao Ning’s precise location, yet they were certain their quarry was somewhere within.
As Liao Ning and her companions emerged, the men who had broken in hesitated briefly. Then, one of them spoke, “If you value your lives, leave immediately. Do not hinder me in my search for her!”
Liao Nai yearned to confront them, but Liao Ning restrained him. In the eyes of onlookers, they resembled a mother and son duo—unassuming and devoid of any apparent threat. It was Davies’ clever alteration of their appearances that had allowed them to pass unnoticed.
Upon reaching the airship, an unexpected sight greeted them: a group of heavily armed men stood before them.
The man who seemed to be their leader declared, “You all caught sight of Liao Ning just now, didn’t you? The Big Boss wants her and the child beside her. Spare no mercy when you encounter them later.”
A query arose from one of the men, “What about the others beside her? They appear to be military personnel. What should we do with them?”
“Colonel Zhou? The two of them have vanished once before. It won’t matter if they vanish again. Ensure there’s no trace left behind. Just leave the woman and child.”
As the leader smugly issued these instructions, Zhou Ling suddenly materialized behind him, her tone cold as ice, “Then it shouldn’t matter if you disappear forever, right?”
Before the leader could react, he felt a chilling sensation at his throat and crumpled to the ground.
Zhou Ye and Davies swiftly subdued the remaining men, while Liao Nai stood guard, barring anyone from approaching Liao Ning.
“Speak up, who ordered you to capture Liao Ning?” Zhou Ling seized one man by the hair, lifting him off the ground.
Tears welled up in the captive’s eyes as he pleaded, “Big Brother, we have no personal grudge. I’ll pay you the commission for this job. Just let us go.”
At that moment, Zhou Ling and her companions had all undergone transformations, rendering them unrecognizable to these men.
However, Liao Ning had grown increasingly suspicious. She confronted the situation head-on, asking, “Did Liao Chen send you here?”
Liao Xi recognized that her blood was valuable, so seizing Liao Nai would only be a hindrance. Liao Chen, on the other hand, remained uncertain about whose blood held significance, hence his intent to capture two individuals.
Perhaps Parson’s appearance this time wasn’t mere chance. He seemed determined to expose Liao Ning’s distinctiveness and capitalize on the ensuing chaos to abduct her. He might even attempt to pin the blame on interstellar space pirates at the event venue.
As expected, when the man heard the name “Liao Chen,” terror flickered in his eyes. He vehemently denied, “Liao Chen? Who’s Liao Chen? I don’t know him. I truly have no knowledge of Liao Chen! The Liao family has nothing to do with this!”
The more he protested, the more convinced Liao Ning became that Liao Chen was the mastermind behind this plot.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from the direction of the room where the army was stationed, followed by a raging inferno. Realizing there was no time to waste, Zhou Ling exchanged a meaningful glance with Zhou Ye and swiftly dispatched the remaining captives before boarding the airship.
Zhou Ling deftly piloted the airship. “We’re low on fuel, so we’ll have to find a mid-route planet for refueling. I’ve informed Su MO that we’re departing. We’ll rendezvous there.”
Although they had narrowly evaded danger, and the airship had successfully taken to the skies, Liao Ning’s heart remained uneasy. Her concerns deepened as she received another notification from the system.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden mission: Hidden Identity. IV11SS10n Objective: ‘l’ranstorm Into a wmte WOlt, conceal tne bloodline of a sea demon, evade all forms of pursuit, and safely return to the capital planet. Mission Reward: Obtain a 200-square-meter portable space and gain clues about the sea demons.]
While the allure of the portable space and the desire to uncover the secrets of the sea demons tantalized her, the system’s missions were becoming increasingly absurd.
She had never managed a successful transformation before, making evasion even more challenging. At this point, it seemed likely that it wasn’t just Liao Chen and Liao Xi who were intent on capturing her.
Moments earlier, she had employed the Al to check. The video footage of Parson biting her and swiftly regaining his youth had already garnered hundreds of millions of views. Some individuals had even initiated a reward for information leading to her whereabouts.
In her frustration, Liao Ning longed to vent her exasperation to the heavens.. System, could you please have a little more humanity? Who concocted such a mission?
