On Zining Mountain in the morning, clouds and mist swirled, like a fairyland.
Sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, casting a golden Radiance over the ancient rocks and lush trees of the mountain forest.
Chen Kai stood beside a wide-open mountain rock, with Miraidon beside him, full of energy, its scales shimmering with purple light in the sun.
Chen Kai sat steadily on Miraidon's broad back, his hands tightly gripping the indented scales on its neck.
Miraidon slowly stood up, pushed off with its four limbs, and its body soared into the air. Using the slope of the mountain, it spread its strong wings, gliding through the clouds and mist, creating a whistling sound of wind.
Chen Kai only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the scenery before his eyes rapidly receded like a scroll.
"Miraidon, let's head straight ahead, off to France!" Chen Kai shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the mountains.
Miraidon heard him and happily responded, "Okay, let's go!"
With that, it flapped its wings with greater amplitude, moving faster and faster, flying towards the bright dawn on the distant horizon.
Meanwhile, in Su Yuexi's yard, Yelena was doing morning exercises with Aegislash and Dewott.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated in her pocket; the sound seemed particularly out of place in the morning.
Yelena pulled out her phone and saw the words "Father" displayed on the screen, her heart instantly tightening.
She hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
"Yelena."
Her father's low, authoritative voice came from the other end of the line. Just three words, but they made Yelena's body tremble uncontrollably.
"Father..." Yelena's voice carried a hint of tremor and guilt; she didn't know how to face her father's questioning.
"I already know about the mission." Her father's tone was flat, but Yelena could feel the hidden dissatisfaction and disappointment within it. "Come back, return to the Russian Federation."
Yelena's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, a sharp pain assailing her. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, to defend herself, or to ask for another chance, but her throat felt blocked, and not a single word could come out.
"Lord Bili Jiong gave you a simple reconnaissance mission, and you haven't completed it in several months. What have you been doing?
Do you know what people from other families are saying about ours?
Hurry up and come back to reflect properly; there will still be opportunities in the future." Her father's words were beyond doubt.
"Yes, Father." Yelena, whose face was usually unperturbed, bit her lip, suppressing her tears, and replied softly.
After hanging up the phone, Yelena stood frozen in place, everything around her seeming to blur.
She looked at the streets of Zi Ning Town, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Hmph, if only you had known, why did you do it in the first place?" Andrei, with his arms crossed, suddenly appeared at the courtyard gate.
Yelena put away her phone and slowly raised her head, her gaze coldly fixed on Andrei: "It's you!"
Andrei's lips curved slightly into a cunning smile, and he directly admitted, "Yes, it's me. And the superiors have approved my proposal; I'll go tie up that Dragon Country person later."
"You dare!" Yelena roared, pointing her morning exercise sword directly at Andrei.
Andrei shrugged indifferently, scoffing, "Why wouldn't I dare? You'd better mind your own business first, Saintess.
Hahaha!"
With that, he laughed as he turned and left the courtyard.
Only Yelena was left, trembling with rage, her hands clenched into fists, yet helpless.
However, the one thing Andrei didn't expect was that Chen Kai had already left that morning; he was a step too late.
And because of the Dragon Country's previous purge of spies, the Russian Federation had no idea where Chen Kai had gone, only that he had left Sichuan Province by plane...
Above Paris, the romantic capital, the setting sun was like blood, painting the entire city in a brilliant orange-red.
On the top floor of a skyscraper that reached into the clouds, a luxurious office was filled with a suppressed and mysterious atmosphere.
The owner of the building sat behind a massive black desk. He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, his golden hair meticulously combed, and his deep eyes, like a cold pool, exuded a chilling authority.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk as he patiently listened to his subordinate's report.
"Boss, latest intelligence. A person named Chen Kai has arrived from the Dragon Country. According to our informants, this Chen Kai has some connection to the Mega Evolution being researched in the Dragon Country."
The subordinate stood respectfully in front of the desk, his voice low and clear.
The boss's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them. The words "Mega Evolution" were like a mysterious code, touching the most sensitive nerve deep within him.
It was their company that sent spies to infiltrate the Dragon Country to steal mega evolution stones. By a stroke of luck, their company had a rough understanding of the Mega Evolution principle, and countless researchers worked day and night, finally, after a long exploration, successfully cracking a crucial step half a year ago.
Originally, they planned to use this achievement to achieve an absolute monopoly on Mega Evolution, raking in enormous profits.
But just as they were preparing to make their move, shocking news arrived: the attempt to steal in the distant Dragon Country had failed, and at the same time, someone in the Dragon Country had also developed similar results.
This was like a bombshell, instantly shattering their dream of monopoly. Subsequently, the Dragon Country began to extensively collect mega evolution stones. How could their company contend with a whole country?
So, he directly revealed all the information himself. This way, although they couldn't get many mega evolution stones, at least the Dragon Country couldn't either.
At the same time, they tried to incite others to destroy the Dragon Country's Mega Evolution research base, but unfortunately, only one fool went and was eliminated.
Therefore, they still had no idea how the Dragon Country knew the secret of Mega Evolution.
"Tell me in detail, how much information does this Chen Kai possess regarding Mega Evolution?" The boss's voice was low and cold.
The subordinate quickly presented a document and said, "Boss, we don't have specific details yet, but intelligence shows that Chen Kai seems to have used Mega Evolution in a live broadcast a long time ago, so we suspect he participated in the Dragon Country's Mega Evolution plan.
Moreover, his trip to Paris this time is very mysterious, and we are still tracking and investigating further."
The boss took the tablet, quickly browsing Chen Kai's previous battle in Zigong, and as Mega Ampharos appeared, his expression gradually became serious.
He put down the tablet, leaned back in his chair, and after a moment of contemplation, slowly said, "No matter the cost, we must capture this Chen Kai. I want to know everything he knows."
The subordinate nodded slightly, a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yes, Boss. We will immediately arrange personnel to fully track Chen Kai's whereabouts and ensure he is brought back here."
The boss stood up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling night view of Paris.
"Remember, this matter must be handled cleanly and efficiently; there can be no more mistakes," the boss's voice came from the window, carrying an undeniable authority.
"I want the world to know that no matter who, or what organization, or even what country, I am not to be trifled with!"
The subordinate nodded again: "Boss, rest assured, we will definitely complete the mission." With that, he turned and left the office, disappearing into the dark corridor.
