Chapter 380: All’s fair in war.

looked at herself in the mirror.

She had deliberately dressed a bit more ordinarily, wearing a common shorts and T-shirt outfit, and her short, ear-length hair had been unchanged for ages.

The only noticeable thing was the silver metallic collar around her neck—this was a surveillance device for the whole area. If 026 accidentally uttered certain keywords, this thing would release a ’mild’ electric current to remind her.

As a temporary second warrior in the White Ghost Organization, she could enjoy non-immediate execution services.

The boss wanted to accompany her.

Naturally, this made 026 a little nervous.

What kind of identity did the boss have?

Now, the renowned White Ghost of the Sherman Empire, actual controller of the Luofeng Empire, the ultimate infantry with strong combat capabilities.

Whatever the boss wanted, within the borders of Wind, it required no more than a finger snap.

So why did the boss choose to go home with her? Was there some deeper implication hidden here?

’Is the boss interested in me?’

blinked, looking at herself in the mirror from side to side, even lifting her shirt to look.

Without discussing secondary sexual characteristics, more than two years of combat training had made her figure leaner, from initially just being thin to now being well-proportioned with a touch of fitness.

Although her arms and legs were still thin, the vest lines around her waist and the faint outline of six-pack abs added a bit of strength.

The boss probably preferred girls like Miss Hera, right? Wise, intelligent, able to evoke a man’s protective instincts.

Oh, right!

realized.

The boss was headed to the Fifth Administrative Star, not her home.

When the boss said they were traveling together, it was actually to ensure that she, as the only employee, could make the trip smoothly; otherwise, he would definitely have to impose some precautions on her.

Understanding this key point, 026 let out a long breath of relief, relaxed completely, puffed out her chest, raised her head, turned in front of the mirror, and pinched a lock of her hair, grinning nonstop.

After so many years away, she could finally go home once!

"We’re almost at the outer orbit of the Fifth Administrative Star now."

Lyu’s voice came, and 026 hurriedly grabbed the backpack nearby and turned to jump out of her resting room.

Running out of the Feinan’s hatch, she saw Yang Ming already prepared with a small stealth boat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, boss!"

"Hmm," Yang Ming nodded calmly and opened the wing door of the stealth boat, voluntarily sitting in the co-pilot seat.

In the Pan-Galaxy, there was no reason for the boss to drive for the employee.

"Go straight to the city where your home is, Lyu will arrange everything, don’t worry about exposure."

"Yes, boss!"

immediately perked up.

It was time to showcase her exquisite spaceship skills!

"Sister Lyu, launch the spaceship!"

The stealth boat’s engines ignited, and the small hatch of the Dark Star One supply ship opened.

...

New Federation Head Star, Minter City.

In a coffee shop at the corner of the old town, Allison frowned as he looked at the news before him.

The New Federation had suffered setbacks again in the military and diplomatic spheres, and the suddenly emerging high-rank Insect Swarm had become a stage for the Sherman Empire to showcase its might.

The New Federation Fleet’s commander seemed to have had a stroke at that moment.

He actually began executing an orderly retreat prepared in advance, rather than fighting the insects to the death!

During the attack of the Insect Swarm, if Allison could have intervened in the fleet’s direction, he would have undoubtedly pushed for the New Federation to attack the Insect Swarm at all costs and call upon the Sherman Empire to join forces against humanity’s ancient enemy.

In this way, wouldn’t the New Federation have taken the initiative again?

How could they now be so passive?

Allison sighed lightly, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and a faint helplessness flickered in his eyes.

He still didn’t stand high enough, and the time he had been operating was too short.

However, from now until "Abyss" began, he still had enough time to accumulate political capital to protect his home planet politically in this way.

The New Federation was the best form of government.

Allison always believed so.

Ding ding!

A message popped up on the terminal beside Allison, a call invitation from his trusted aide.

Allison frowned slightly; he never handled affairs during this period.

It was his private leisure time.

Putting on a hidden earpiece, he connected to the voice call, and his eyes swept over the corners of the small shop while hearing the report from his subordinate.

"Boss, we encountered a little problem."

"Speak."

"Do you remember, we bought off a crime syndicate from the Guel Alliance before, neutralizing a potential hazard? Those three people were caught afterward, and we just received news this morning—they died in detention."

Dead?

Allison frowned and said, "Was it us?"

"No, boss, you said those three were worthless, and we didn’t need to pay more attention. Doing more would easily leave traces. It was... it was done by the other side."

"The other side?"

"I mean, it’s very likely it’s from the power behind that woman you took down."

"That’s not possible," Allison said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "clarify your logic and organize a report for me."

"Okay, boss, I’m also shocked by this inference. Actually, my inference is that it was done by that woman, the one you killed."

Allison frowned, asked, "Are you sure you’re sober?"

"Yes, I’m very sober, because we also received a message, the other party traced the clues we left when contacting those people, followed the trail to one of our temporary external mailboxes, and sent this email... Boss, take a look for yourself."

His subordinate sent the email over.
