Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: Rapid Promotion Plan (Large Chapter Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"So you’re saying that Paxiu took out the bullet from his body right in front of you all, returned to his rented apartment, took a shower, and even changed his clothes?"

The man, wearing glasses and looking somewhat refined, lowered his head, staring at the young man fully armed in front of him, and asked coldly, "Did he also dry his hair and style it?"

"He didn’t do that, at least when we arrived, his hair was still wet," the young man whispered, "Sir, you know, his hair isn’t very long, so he doesn’t really need to dry it after washing."

"Should I be praising you for your keen observation?" Upon hearing the young man’s response, the glasses-wearing man took a deep breath, his voice lowering slightly, akin to the growl of a beast, "Are you all useless? He destroyed the drone, made it back to his apartment, and you still gave him so much time."

"Sir," seeing the anger of the glasses-wearing man, the young man tensed his body slightly, hesitating to speak, "It was the Federal Bureau of Investigation that obstructed us, affected our speed, and what we initially planned, the fog mixed with Blood of the Venus placed in the drone, should have worked on Paxiu, in theory, but he absorbed the mist without passing out, which led to the entire plan getting out of control."

"You were already at the apartment building’s bottom, and a regional Federal Bureau of Investigation chief, just a D-class transcendent, could hold you off for so long?" Hearing the young man’s response, the glasses-wearing man took another deep breath, "And don’t tell me you went up by stairs."

"Yes, sir," the young man glanced at the man with glasses, whispering, "The apartment building is too old, the elevator’s broken, we had to take the stairs up."

"Hiss—"

A long inhaling sound resonated under the bright lights, as the man with glasses looked at the young man in front of him, seemingly unable to speak.

Trembling, he raised his hand, veins bulging, pulled out a cigar from his pocket with stiff arms, clipped the cigar’s tip, and clamped it in his mouth.

Crack——

A long flame was ignited, the burning match of the cigar coincidentally appearing before the cigar, lighting the cigar in the mouth of the man with glasses.

"Inhale——Exhale——"

Taking a deep draw on the cigar, exhaling dense smoke, the man with glasses looked at the young man who handed over the match to light it, supposedly calming his emotions a bit.

"Sir, it seems Paxiu calculated our timing. Although what he did seemed like a lot, the action was very fast, not giving us much time, by the time we got up the stairs, he had finished handling everything."

Seeing the man with glasses calm down a bit, the young man flicked the match in his hand, extinguishing the remnant flame on it, cautiously explaining, "I have already arranged for people and drones to blockade the nearby district, conducting a carpet search, he can’t have gone far."

"Have you found him now?" Removing the cigar from his mouth, the man with glasses hoarsely asked.

The young man’s face stiffened.

"Has the building he lived in been searched?" the man with glasses continued to ask.

"He jumped directly from the window," the young man opened his mouth slightly, just about to explain, but upon seeing the look in the man with glasses’ eyes, immediately said, "But we checked it all, no trace of him."

In conclusion, he added promptly, "From the first floor to the top, we’ve checked it all, he shouldn’t be in that building."

"What about the rooftop?" the man with glasses suddenly asked sharply.

"The rooftop was checked too," the young man quickly said, "We checked it right from the start and even had drones scan it thoroughly."

"Exhale——" The man with glasses exhaled, looking at the young man, his complexion eased, "I just received news from Ains, the President’s condition is very poor right now, this time only we came along, it’s the President whom we follow,"

He looked at the young man, his body silhouetted against the light, his head slightly lowered, some shadow covering his eyes and nose bridge, "If we fail to protect the President and can’t even capture an assassin, what face will we have when we return to Ains, to meet the Bureau Chief and our colleagues?"

He sighed slightly, his fingers pinching the slightly sparking cigar, "The pressure is heavy on both you and me, we’ve worked so many years, done so much, earned so much, we all understand the Bureau’s ways."

"Yes, yes," the young man lowered his head, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, "I’ve already contacted Dawn City’s police department, they’re calling everyone back to cooperate with our overtime, but,"

He hesitated, taking a glance at the man with glasses, continued softly, "This incident is still too sudden, we’re short on people here, I need some to protect the scene, and I’m relying on the drones for search, but the drones, after all, cannot completely replace humans, even though Denno City is a small city, it’s not easy to operate, plus the Federal Bureau of Investigation here will···"

"You don’t need to worry about the Federal Bureau of Investigation," the man with glasses put the cigar back in his mouth, "I’ve already got a permit from Ains, they must cooperate with us."

"Local Federal Bureau of Investigation has high autonomy, that Vigina Chief seems a bit···" the young man hoarsely said.

"That woman had other intentions coming to Denno City to begin with, don’t worry about her," the man with glasses calmly said.

"Understood," the young man lowered his head, gave a slight sigh, "If they were dead at the hands of that assassin Paxiu, it would be better."

"Hmm?"

The man with glasses lifted his head, glanced at the young man.

The young man realized his slip of the tongue, immediately closed his mouth.

"You don’t need to worry too much about manpower," the man with glasses didn’t continue on this topic, instead said, "The Kewort Group has contacted me, their mercenary corps have quite a few mercenaries in Denno City who can work with us."

"Kewort Group?" the young man was slightly dumbfounded, whispered, "Can they be trusted?"

"They are ’friends’ with many connections to the President in Denno City," the man with glasses hoarsely said, "Should anything happen to the President, they’re probably more anxious than we are,"

He looked downward, peering at the young man, "However, whether they’re trustworthy will depend on your methods."

"Yes!" The young man nodded heavily, "I will immediately arrange for staff, expand the blockade, and set up checkpoints on all possible streets for investigation."

"Including hospitals and all pharmacies, both above and underground," the man with glasses calmly stated, "An injured person needs medicine."

"Yes!"

The young man stood up straight, nodded heavily.

——

"The President returned to Ains late last night, under treatment by Stars Pharma’s top medical team, but according to the Ains Post, the President is still not out of life-threatening danger."

"The mayors of several cities including Dawn City, Vitland City, Yilan City, and Wint City called Ains last night to express concern about the President’s condition."

"Currently, the two leading presidential candidates have both expressed strong condemnation of the assassination attempt on social media."

"The Senate and the House of Representatives have immediately activated emergency procedures. Given the President’s condition, the Federal Vice President submitted a written statement to both houses’ speakers last night, assuming the role of acting President during the President’s incapacity."

"According to the Federal Constitutional Amendment, ’Whenever the Vice President and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.’"

"······"

The news broadcast echoed between the gap of city buildings.

In the midst of this noise, He Ao slightly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand, glanced at his palm where there used to be slight wounds.

At this moment, those fine wounds had completely disappeared, leaving only smooth skin.

The weakness and fatigue from last night had mostly dissipated, with surging power emerging within He Ao’s body.

After the first rest at the beginning of the Copy World, the system would often repair all injuries on He Ao’s body.

He Ao stretched his body slightly, sensing that the sound of drones outside was no longer dense, through the optical reflective mirror left by Paxiu, looking at the outside sky, it had cleared up a lot too.

"Cough——"

At this moment, he felt an itch in his throat, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Then he let go of his hand and glanced at the palm, where there was a little bit of fine, purple-tinged, blue-glowing blood.

The amount of blood was not much, only a very tiny, dense, raindrop-like dot, but the purple in that blood was slightly denser than it was last night.

Although the system had repaired the injuries of this body, it hadn’t reconciled the conflict between He Ao’s soul and body.

At this moment, the immense power from the soul was still continuously damaging this body.

Currently, He Ao could clearly sense that his condition was deteriorating.

He raised his wristband, checking the messages on it.

At this moment, an unread message was floating on his wristband’s screen.

This message was from the Scavenger Leader in Vitland City and the underground world’s ’Queen’, Heish.

Denno City is located in the western part of the Federation, and traditionally, the western part of the Federation is within Vitland’s sphere of influence, so all important intelligence and messages would typically pass through Vitland.

Paxiu had a brief interaction with Heish, and the secret medicine formula for Lone Wolf was told to him by Heish, so He Ao didn’t use the identity of ’K’.

He sent a message directly to Heish before ’sleep’ last night, sending her the materials required by the Honorary Noble and asked if she knew any information about the related materials.

However, He Ao didn’t expect Heish to respond so quickly.

He Ao quickly opened the unread message.

Heish didn’t ask any other questions and quickly responded to He Ao’s ’inquiry’.

She mentioned that at the end of last year, she saw someone on the black market requesting to purchase materials related to ’Nine-colored Flower’, ’Cannibal Vine’ and ’Blood Camel’.

Of course, these purchase requests were mixed in a batch of other transcendent materials.

Heish had collected some part of the transcendent materials for the buyer at that time, including the corpse of a Blood Camel, and the transaction location given by the buyer was in a city not far from Denno City.

Of course, many traders, to avoid eavesdropping, often choose to have the transaction point in a remote small city and then find a way to transport the items out.

However, out of the sensitivity of an intermediary and intelligence worker, Heish took note of these materials.

So, when He Ao asked, she replied to He Ao directly; as for the intelligence on the other materials, she was still collecting them.

At the end of the entire message, she reminded him that after the President was assassinated, Denno City was in a major storm, advising He Ao to leave Denno City as soon as possible if he had nothing important to do.

But obviously, He Ao had some ’business’ to take care of in Denno City at this point.

He Ao swiftly replied with a ’thanks’, then put away the wristband.

The end of last year was just when Paxiu had ’met’ Moli and had just returned to Denno City.

Calculating the time, they were preparing to investigate the Dark Lizard incident back then.

If they had started gathering ’Honorary Noble’ materials since then, they would likely have collected enough by the time Paxiu discovered the ’truth’.

Then Moli would inquire about Paxiu’s needs, if Paxiu wanted a promotion, counting the time needed for ritual preparations, they would likely have completed the promotion just before the old President arrived in Denno City.

If that was indeed the case, then by the time Moli met Paxiu, all subsequent events were already arranged.

But they ultimately couldn’t influence Paxiu’s decision; Paxiu chose weapon enhancement.

However, this was probably also part of their ’plan’, as they had prepared weapon enhancement materials, so they didn’t attempt to change Paxiu’s decision at that time. Perhaps they made additional ’preparations’.

After all, the fact is the ’assassin’ who attempted the President’s assassination wasn’t only Paxiu.

B-level items are expensive, the entire thing involves several sets, the ones behind this ’assassination’ can be said to have abundant financial resources.

Following this hypothesis, if their secret medicine was collected not long before meeting Paxiu, the whole secret medicine was crafted either for Paxiu, or rather, for assassinating the President.

If so, would this secret medicine or the collected materials of it be placed far from Paxiu?

He Ao fished out a black device from his pocket, staring at its pitch-black screen— this might need to find ’Moli’s superior.

He

He had already fiddled with this device on the road yesterday; no matter what, the device wouldn’t respond. Either it required a complex activation method, or there was something wrong internally.

To check or unlock this device, he would first need to open it and find the entrance.

However, this device, though small, was filled with intricate structures, and even He Ao couldn’t just open it with bare hands.

He needed a ’laboratory’ capable of dismantling the device; it didn’t need to reach the precision level of the device itself, just functional enough, as he could compensate for other conditions manually.

Theoretically, the best place to dismantle it should be Nolanka Group’s laboratory, but obviously, He Ao didn’t have that much time.

Click—

He Ao gently lifted the metal sheet, glancing at the vast sky above and the hovering drones in the distance.

At this moment, the drones in the sky weren’t as dense as before; most drones had descended near the streets, searching the ground one by one.

And the drones in the sky seemed to have marked this building as a kind of low-risk area, without arranging dense control.

He Ao sensed the specific state of his body.

He estimated that from now, it would take at most two days for this body to completely collapse.

The system’s repair effect only works once, so any subsequent injuries will not be repaired.

This means he must find a way to advance to B-level within these two days, allowing his body to barely withstand the soul power dissipating from it.

He Ao raised his hand, a hint of purple brilliance spreading from his fingertips, showing that as his body collapsed, his power had grown stronger than it was last night.

This seemed counterintuitive, but He Ao soon understood the principle.

Because his body’s collapse was due to the spreading of the Angel Soul power.

Conversely, the more his body collapsed, the stronger soul power he could unleash. At the moment when the entire body is about to completely collapse, it might be when this C-level body can exert its greatest strength.

Without a single material, formulas had just been found, two days to ascend to B-level.

The ’difficulty’ of this instance task lies not just in the instance but also in himself.

Yet, according to the rule, the harder the task, the higher the reward.

He Ao walked to the edge of the rooftop, glanced around at the drones, and his lips curled up slightly into a smile.

Let’s give it a try.

He leaped off, his body dropping into the midst of this bustling city.
