Chapter 498: Chapter 379: Jannan’s Guess

His question was temporarily left unanswered; however, many were still waiting for his response.

"The strength we possess may look similar to the superpowers you speak of, yet fundamentally, they differ...these matters, I am not at liberty to discuss in detail with you."

"In any case, after experiencing what has happened, you must understand that Transcendents truly exist in this world."

Hu Peng organized his thoughts before continuing:

"As for what this monster really is, we are not clear on that either, further investigation is needed. Our visit this time was purely for Jannan."

"For me?"

Jannan raised his eyebrows, he couldn’t remember how many times they had said this before.

The purpose of this group’s visit was not concealed; the Bounty Hunters did not need mentioning, they were simply here for the money, serving merely as bodyguards.

Therefore, those who were actually here for him were only these two young people before him.

However, they still did not fully disclose their purpose, seemingly intentionally concealing something.

This was Hu Peng’s first time personally engaging in the recruitment of newcomers.

Although he had participated in similar missions before, Xiao Shun and Yang Yangyang were always in charge of the main tasks, and he, along with Xun You, usually just provided support.

This time, embarking on this mission was also a sort of test for the pair.

"Mr. Zhan, we are indeed here for you, or rather, for your family,"

Hu Peng paused for a long while before speaking.

"Perhaps you are unaware of your grandfather’s circumstances, but I can now confirm, we have not come to the wrong place—you are indeed the person we have been searching for!"

"My grandfather...could it be because of that mark?"

Jannan wasn’t slow-witted, quickly catching on to the crux of the matter.

"Correct, you probably don’t know about that mark yet, but what I can tell you is that your grandfather was surely connected in some way to our organization, and that is why we are here."

Hu Peng glanced at the members of the Wildfire Team beside him, not yet revealing all the truths.

This was to avoid involving unnecessary people.

Though he could speak Chinese, who knew whether that bunch was completely oblivious, or not secretly recording anything.

Thus, many details regarding the Star Alliance and the Alien Species he did not divulge all at once.

Jannan lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment, his eyes shifting between the giant snake’s corpse and the small cemetery not far away.

"I understand now. So, my grandfather, Estevan Vasikar, was very likely a part of your organization. At least, he must have known you and come into contact with your organization, maybe as an informant or something else..."

"If I’m not mistaken, then this visit of yours must be to find something he left behind, right?"

Jannan’s analysis seemed plausible and quite reasoned, as if that really was the case.

Hu Peng found himself somewhat helpless at his words— it seemed this fellow was also skilled in making suppositions.

He shrugged and said, "Actually, the situation isn’t as complex as you think. The main purpose of our visit is indeed for the descendant of the Vasikar family, which means you."

...

An hour later, everyone arrived outside the Oasis, at a deserted area in the desert.

"What are we doing here? I remember he mentioned someone was coming? But did we have to come all the way out here? The sun here is nearly baking me."

Ciro wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

"Ciro, if you don’t want to stay here, you can go back first since our mission is already complete. There’s really no need for you to be involved in what’s left."

Weiss teased.

"That won’t do. Now that I’ve come across this, I have to see what exactly is going on, or I’ll definitely regret it later."

"Also, can’t you tell me more about that car? I really want to know what kind of car it is to make even Cassandra lose interest."

Ciro was very eager, feeling as if his heart was being tickled by a kitten.

He had even made a bet with Weiss, giving him five chances to guess what kind of car it was. The wager was his beloved modified weapon.

Anna, who was nearby, also seemed curious about the things Weiss had mentioned, though she wasn’t as exaggerated as Ciro.

As for Mikel, he was almost invisible.

If not for the fact that Ciro would occasionally speak to him, Hu Peng and Xun You would have almost forgotten that they had such a person on their team.

The group had only waited a short while when Hu Peng suddenly checked his phone, then looked up at the sky and softly said,

"It’s coming."

"It’s coming?"

Ciro looked around somewhat bewilderedly.

They were standing on a sand dune, surrounded by an endless desert.

At this moment, not to mention a person, they couldn’t even see a car’s shadow.

Jannan’s gaze followed Hu Peng’s line of sight up to the sky, but found nothing.

Just as he was becoming puzzled and about to ask.

Suddenly, it darkened before his eyes, and the blazing sun was instantly blocked, casting a massive shadow over the entire sand dune.

"This, this is..."

Everyone’s eyes widened, including Weiss, as they all stared at the sky like they had been struck by a Petrification spell.

Hovering above was a warship as massive as a small mountain, its appearance far beyond current Earth technology, invoking certain associations.

"B-boss... the Boss you just mentioned, couldn’t be an Alien, could it...?"

Ciro stuttered.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, angrily looking at Weiss who was nearby.

"Weiss! You call this thing a car!? You were actually trying to deceive me with it! You sneaky guy! Don’t think for a moment you can take anything from me!"

Weiss was also somewhat bewildered at the moment. He had seen anti-gravity cars before, which had excited him for a long time.

Because of this, he even lost interest in Cassandra.

Originally, Weiss thought that today he might see that flying car again, which had kept him restless.

But now, what had arrived was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

For the moment, Weiss’s mind was filled only with shock, and he hadn’t heard a word of what Ciro was saying next to him.
