Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Mission (Two More Chapters for Monthly Pass)

Hearing He Ao’s words, Xiya was slightly startled before she looked up at him, "It seems you already know everything."

He Ao’s statement made it clear that he was aware of the Wilderness Wanderer’s assault on the corporation.

"You’ve seen,"

He Ao smiled, "I’ve just wiped out the executives of two major corporations in one fell swoop."

Xiya seemed to recall those captured executives upon hearing this, and her originally somber expression eased somewhat. She spoke in a softened tone, "Thank you."

"This is originally part of my job. They’ve committed crimes and should naturally be punished by law and due process."

He Ao said gently, "Continue, tell me about your situation?"

"Okay,"

Xiya nodded and continued, "After figuring out the real ’needs’ of the corporations, my father gathered all the leaders of Wilderness Wanderer families and camps near Minte City and held a meeting,

"Even though there’s a huge gap between our strength and that of the two big corporations, we still decided that we should have a special ’armed force’ to fight against and ’retaliate’ against the corporations.

"Eventually, each camp and family contributed personnel and funding to build this ’Wanderer force,’ which was led by my father."

"Your father is impressive."

He Ao praised.

"He often tells me that one is only respected when they fight, even if it’s a sheep, a hornless one is more likely to be bullied."

The mention of her father softened Xiya’s expression, but soon, it fell again, "You should already know what happened later. We launched several attacks, but they weren’t very effective. The two major corporations were still capturing Wilderness Wanderers from camps and families with impunity,

"My father was injured in several battles, and,"

She paused before continuing, "now, the Mercenary Corps from the two big corporations have also arrived."

To the Wilderness Wanderers’ makeshift small units, the regular Mercenary Corps of the corporations were vastly different, akin to the difference between heaven and earth.

"Your father was injured?"

He Ao asked softly.

"Yes,"

Xiya nodded, "The corporations’ security forces have several times deliberately disguised themselves as capture squads to trap us with their more advanced weapons and equipment, making them hard to fight. However, they are not as familiar with the wilderness as we are, so they’ve been unable to catch us."

"Hmm."

He Ao nodded slightly.

Although the Wilderness Wanderers might be greater in numbers, their weapons and equipment are still generations behind those of the corporations. Even if they managed to steal advanced weapons from the corporations, they lack sufficient ammunition and logistic supplies.

Looking at Xiya in front of him, He Ao suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Did you infiltrate the city to collect intelligence on the two big corporations?"

"Yes,"

Xiya nodded and then hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "If there’s a chance, we also plan to assassinate the leaders of the two big corporations."

Intelligence and assassination missions.

He Ao looked at the woman before him.

Xiya appeared competent and reliable, but her makeup was intentionally mature, suggesting that despite her skin telling she was around twenty, maybe she was not even twenty years old.

At this age, to operate a stable intelligence network in the city alone, her abilities must be quite remarkable.

"Do you already have a social security card number?"

He Ao asked.

Even if Note Intelligence’s scrutiny was lax, they wouldn’t let someone without a social security card number work as their corporate building’s receptionist.

"Yes, do you know of the ’Wilderness Wanderer Act’?"

Xiya looked at He Ao and explained, "It was an act promoted by Dawn City, established by a legendary Wilderness Wanderer named Ronald. This act allows Wilderness Wanderers to have the identity of urban residents.

"Right when the act was passed, I made a trip to Dawn City and obtained a social security card number.

"Then I lived in Dawn City for a year. After a year of observation, I successfully passed the observation assessment and obtained the identity of a Dawn City resident.

"Later, through internal immigration regulations of the Federation, I returned to Minte City as a new immigrant and obtained the identity of a Minte City resident."

"The ’Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Act’, I know it."

He Ao nodded lightly, "A very formal way to obtain an identity,"

Ever since the ’Wilderness Wanderer Act’ was passed, it has become the only legal way for Wanderers from the wilderness to become citizens of the Federation.

He looked at Xiya and said with a smile, "Passing the assessment in just one year is quite impressive."

The ’assessment’ of the ’Wilderness Wanderer Act’ is actually very stringent.

Although the act stipulates an assessment period of one to five years, there are very few people who manage to obtain citizenship within the first year. Most people have not passed the assessment even after two or three years, and there are many who have been kicked back into the wilderness due to legal violations and assessment failures.

"Ms. Penny has helped me a lot,"

The words of He Ao seemed to bring back memories of Xiya’s time in Dawn City, as she spoke softly, "Ms. Penny is the sister adopted by Mr. Ronald. After the act passed, she helped many Wilderness Wanderers. She holds a high reputation among all ’Wilderness Wanderers’ in the eastern part of the Federation.

"She helped me a lot and taught me many things."

Penny...

He Ao’s mind flashed with the image of the little girl who used to follow him around calling ’Leader,’ ’Leader.’

In the last Copy World, He Ao had unexpectedly made use of the intelligence network set up by Penny to obtain some information about the Mercenary Corps.

In the blink of an eye, this girl was about to become a ’big shot’ in the Federation.

Gathering his thoughts, He Ao looked at Xiya before him and didn’t continue on the previous topic, but instead asked in a low voice, "Are you a Transcendent?"

Xiya gave him a strange feeling.

Her body was lean, as if trained in combat, and her actions subtly displayed a power beyond that of an ordinary person.

But her energy circuit seemed weak, and she didn’t have the aura of a Transcendent.

Upon hearing He Ao’s question, Xiya also appeared slightly stunned.

She looked at He Ao as if contemplating, and finally she spoke slowly, "Yes, I am a D-rank Transcendent. I’ve only recently been promoted. However, I possess an Extraordinary Item that conceals Transcendent power, given to me by my father. I have never been exposed before, how did you know..."

"A guess."

He Ao laughed.

In the end, Xiya chose not to hide the truth from him.

Her artifact for concealing qi is indeed quite impressive, it can even hide energy circuits. In such a situation, unless He Ao directly takes action to test, he couldn’t be certain whether Xiya is a Transcendent or not.

With such an artifact for concealing qi, Xiya indeed has the hope of ’assassinating’ the heads of the two major corporate conglomerates surrounded by bodyguards.

After all, it’s very unlikely for someone to intentionally guard against an ordinary front desk girl from their own company.

"Ah?"

Xiya was clearly somewhat baffled by He Ao’s answer.

Can this also be guessed?

"Your item is quite good, but your control over your own power is not yet in place; you can’t disguise yourself convincingly as an ordinary person. An experienced Transcendent can easily detect your ’extraordinariness’. You might try retracting the strength from your elbows and the back of your shoulders."

He Ao explained nonchalantly.

Xiya was slightly startled and subconsciously retracted her strength from her elbows and shoulder blades as He Ao had said.

As the muscles subtly contracted, she instantly felt the power in her arms and upper body, which had been somewhat difficult to master, start to become ’obedient’.

She attempted to control these strengths, containing their spillage.

Her whole being shrank back just a little, her presence becoming more contained.

Subconsciously, she glanced at her reflection in the glass beside her.

The person in the reflection looked plain and ordinary, just like a slightly well-dressed ordinary young girl, possibly just prettier than most.

She hadn’t been aware of the ’extraordinariness’ she exhibited before, but by comparison with her current state, her appearance just now did seem to bear some very subtle signs of ’extraordinariness’.

Now, if not for the power surging inside her, she wouldn’t be able to tell herself apart from an ordinary young girl.

After realizing this, she immediately turned back and looked at He Ao, speaking hurriedly with a trace of astonishment, "Thank you for your guidance, it’s incredibly valuable."

A mere casual mention had brought about such a great change in her.

This man from Ains, his grasp and understanding of power, what level has he reached?

"It was just a passing remark, you have great comprehension," He Ao said offhandedly.

Xiya didn’t hide things from him, and he didn’t mind providing a bit of guidance.

Whether one could understand it or not depends purely on personal insight.

"You can’t say that,"

Xiya, now nowhere as ’composed’ as before, hastily continued, "Your advice is very valuable, no matter where."

She knew very well, if He Ao had not intended to guide her, he would not have said that extra sentence.

"Alright,"

Watching the somewhat panic-stricken Xiya, He Ao said with a smile, "Let’s get back to the matter at hand."

He placed his hand on the book he was holding, "The factories associated with West Steel and Note Intelligence, the factories you just saw in the photos, I have already sent people to seal them off this morning. By noon today at the latest, you’ll be able to see those Wanderers who were previously captured being rescued."

"This,"

Xiya was taken aback; she hadn’t expected He Ao to have already taken care of this matter in advance.

This was akin to having fulfilled the ’demands’ she wanted to raise ahead of time.

Of course, if the threat from the two major corporations in Minte City can’t be resolved from the roots, the people ’rescued’ now will be captured again, and the two conglomerates will intensify their efforts to capture even more people.

These ’rebels’ will face even more brutal and bloody retaliation.

The actions of He Ao were a reminder to some extent that ’we are on the same side now’.

She couldn’t and wouldn’t refuse the ’kindness’ from the other party.

She looked at the ’Handsome Uncle’ before her, realizing she had been completely led by his rhythm; from the moment she sat here, even before she arrived, she had been entirely within his control.

But it was obvious that he bore no malice toward her, and on the contrary, he had extended goodwill and even offered guidance.

Of course, just for her alone, she didn’t merit him doing so much.

She took a deep breath to regain her composed demeanor, striving to appear reliable as she seriously said to He Ao, "What do you want us to do?"

"Can you contact the Wilderness right now?" He Ao inquired.

"If the city gates are open, yes," Xiya raised her head to look at He Ao, speaking in a measured tone, "but I’ve heard that both corporate Mercenary Corps are outside; all city gates are sealed. In this situation, it might be a bit difficult to contact the Wilderness; our communication devices can’t penetrate the high walls’ shielding."

She paused, and then continued, "However, we could try to find some other ways."

"How about using the City Defense Army’s communicator directly?" He Ao asked immediately in return.

"Ah?"

Xiya was stunned, then promptly nodded, "Of course, that would work, the City Defense Army’s equipment can easily communicate with the Wilderness, but the City Defense Army..."

"The City Defense Army is now our people," He Ao stated calmly.

Xiya was slightly dazed, seemingly recalling something and asked tentatively, "Then that newly appointed Mayor Viko..."

"He’s with us now as well," He Ao said casually.

Xiya: ????

Just yesterday, the two conglomerates still surrounded the Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.

What on earth happened last night? Did this uncle in front of her orchestrate a palace coup and take over the power of Minte City overnight? The situation has changed this rapidly? Are these big shots all playing at such a thrilling pace?

Where are the two conglomerates? Why haven’t they made any moves? Were their forces within the city so decisively suppressed?

Regardless of the chaotic thoughts flashing in her mind, realizing the power of the man before her far surpassed what she had previously estimated, Xiya steadied her nerves and quickly said, "As long as you need, we can contact the Wilderness any time,"

She looked at He Ao, "Is there anything you need us to do?"

"There is a task that may not be easy,"

He Ao raised his hand and spoke slowly, "But under the current circumstances, you are the most suitable ones for it."
