Chapter 502: 224 This high-end game [Three more updates!]_3

"Captain Griss, Bryant," Catherine’s voice came from afar, "I have a dinner invitation with a friend tonight. You both have been working hard these past few days, would you like to join us?"

Griss blinked and smiled, "Well, I’m still busy."

But Bryant said, "Captain, weren’t you going to meet with Hui for a date?"

"A date?" Catherine walked out of the captain’s rest room, arms crossed as she watched the two men. "What gave you the impression that I need romance? I just want to talk to him, and incidentally have you two observe him."

Griss smiled, "Observe him? Why?"

"I suspect he is the White Ghost," Catherine whispered.

Bryant frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Just a suspicion," Catherine said, "I have no evidence. All the evidence I found proves he isn’t, like the timings, and the fact that I have been in close contact with him. But there are moments when I feel his way of speaking is very similar to that of the White Ghost."

"Hui Saka, the famous detective?"

Griss smiled, "I actually compared them before, he isn’t. The White Ghost’s real name is Hanton, Captain Hanton. I have original photos of the White Ghost’s appearance and a skeletal analysis."

"Give me a copy."

Catherine turned and walked back to her rest room, also planning to try on some clothes she rarely wore before.

Before entering the door, she turned and leaned back, quickly saying:

"I would still like you both to come. It’s not because I might be nervous about being alone with him. I think it’s necessary to verify... so that I can feel at ease continuing being friends with him."

"Sure," Bryant nodded with a smile, "I’m free anyway."

Griss yawned, "Then I’ll keep looking for a while; just call me when it’s time to head down. Your romance strategy team member, at your service."

He murmured the last part very softly.

Inside the room, Catherine looked at the dresses in her closet, slightly troubled.

Should she ask for some outside help?

She did have a few good friends, like her superior, and several other supermodified people who survived the same period.

...

At eight in the evening.

Hui Saka, fresh from a meeting with the local mayor, took a regular taxi to the lobby of a luxurious hotel and took the elevator directly to the top-floor restaurant.

Preliminary checks had already been completed everywhere, and both residents and tourists had regained their freedom to move around.

Though a terrorist attack had just occurred, the festive atmosphere on Yaha Star had quickly begun to revive.

There weren’t many guests in the restaurant; Yang Ming immediately noticed the beautiful figure sitting behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Catherine had shrunk her Golden Mask by more than half, turning it into the size of an eye mask, revealing her rarely admired face, radiating the best of a young girl’s youthfulness.

She wore a light white evening gown, which made her appear more delicate and less dominant than when she wore her combat suit wielding the Ship-Slicing Blade.

"This way!"

Catherine raised her hand to greet him; Yang Ming smiled and was about to walk over.

He had just taken half a step when his heart suddenly tightened.

There was a problem.

Not far behind Catherine, Catherine’s immediate superior, a middle-aged woman, held an electronic newspaper in front of her face, and nearby were three transformed people radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

They must be supermodified people.

Another corner... Bryant and Griss? How did these two end up together?

Including Bryant, there were five supermodified people here, plus a general transformed person with excellent commanding abilities.

A trap?

Had he exposed himself in some way, or had Bryant broken free from mind control?

’Master, please relax a bit,’ Bryant’s voice rang in Yang Ming’s mind, ’Although I don’t know what the Captain is up to, she probably isn’t out to get you.’

Yang Ming’s right thumb gently rubbed the pad of his index finger, quickly stabilizing his mind, and he continued walking over with a smile.

Just observe and react if necessary.

This high-stakes game, all relied on his ability to think on his feet.
