Xia Port District outskirts.
"How dare these Order bastards attack again!"
"It's always like this, not even a peep! They completely disregard our security team!"
"Cross-border enforcement, did these punks even report it?!"
"And now they're wantonly destroying citizens' property! Haven't they, Order Heavenly Kingdom, gone a bit too far with their arrogance?!"
The Xia Port District's security team was currently cowering in the distance, their captain cursing from afar.
"C-captain. Are we just going to stand here and watch? This villa is almost completely destroyed."
"You know the villa is almost completely destroyed, huh? You go? Go if you have a death wish."
"Smog City's security team hasn't even arrived, what's your rush?"
"Kid, is your salary higher than mine?"
"H-how could that be? How could my salary be higher than the captain's?"
"Then why are you so desperate?!"
At this moment, Xia Port District was as bright as day, with soaring flames, purple lightning, red pillars of light, and blue ripples interweaving.
Shuttles of various designs, all very luxurious, continuously drove out of the villa area.
Inside the vehicles were all wealthy individuals.
Following closely behind the shuttles were beggars and night scavengers wandering around the villa area.
Those who ran slowly, or were caught off guard by the area attacks, were everywhere.
Those who successfully escaped to safety slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
In the past, the security team would have driven away these beggars upon seeing them.
But now they stood together, jointly observing this magnificent scene.
"Good thing I didn't get any food today, I was too hungry to sleep."
"If I had been asleep, I would've been a goner."
"Good thing I didn't pick up too many bottles today, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to run."
The beggar looked at the scavenger with disdain:
"Are you stupid from picking up trash? Can't you just throw away the bottles and run?"
"If I threw away the bottles, I'd be just like you guys. Then I might as well not run and just die in there."
"Damn you, what are you saying, you son of a bitch!"
The two started wrestling at the drop of a hat, but no one paid attention.
Everyone's gaze was now fixed on the villa area.
The security captain frowned, with this destructive power, what level of Wanted Criminals was Order Heavenly Kingdom trying to catch?
"Oh my god, Captain, a dragon!"
In the night sky, a giant dragon's phantom, flapping its wings, materialized.
The dragon's mouth slowly opened, and a white, explosive beam of light spewed forth.
That beam of light, in the darkness, was like a light blade, illuminating the entire sky above Xia Port District, and where it passed, even the ground was cut with a gash.
Seeing the beam of light getting closer, the security captain turned to look at the terrified crowd:
"Damn it, what are you still standing there for, run!"
Donghai Zui's eyes were narrowed and cold as she looked at Kong You standing on the other side of the gully.
Kong You was as nimble as a flea on an elephant, impossible to hit, let alone catch.
She just kept jumping around, leaving Donghai Zui helpless.
"Kong You, hiding and dodging isn't your style."
Kong You's lips curved into a smile.
"We're so familiar with each other, do you think a provocation will work on me?"
"On the contrary, why aren't you continuing to bombard? Are you already tired? Donghai Zui, you're getting old."
"Do you want to rest for a bit?"
"Tired? Hahaha, my heart rate hasn't even gone up yet!"
"Come on, continue!"
Just then, the ring on her wrist flashed, and a message came through.
This was her and the King's exclusive communication tool.
The King rarely sent her messages unless something major happened.
Donghai Zui checked the message.
There were only eight short words:
Paradise attacked, return to defense immediately.
After she read it, her fists clenched with a cracking sound.
"You attacked Paradise!"
Kong You said nothing, merely looking at Donghai Zui with a slight smile.
Indeed!
Because of the previous incident where You'erdan's fake special recruits attacked Dream Palace, a large number of personnel were recalled from Paradise, leading to severe air defense vulnerability in Paradise.
Kong You had deliberately leaked her whereabouts!
She had been tangling with me back and forth, but in reality, it was to stall me!
Disguising as special recruits and attacking Dream Palace were all a smokescreen; their true target was Paradise!
Donghai Zui knew that if she continued to stay here with Kong You, even if they fought for another three days and three nights, they probably wouldn't reach a conclusion.
If she continued to be entangled, it would be bad if something unexpected happened at Paradise.
After all, it was an Order from the King, and she had to execute it unconditionally.
Donghai Zui's body floated into the air again. She looked at the devastated villa area, took a deep breath, and her voice resounded in the air.
"Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, I know you're here."
"Your father's death was unusual, but it was absolutely not caused by us!"
"Don't be used by those with ulterior motives!"
Then she looked at Kong You again.
"Kong You, you can't escape."
After speaking, Donghai Zui gave Kong You a cold, sinister look, then turned and flew towards the airship that had just arrived high in the sky.
Confirming Donghai Zui's departure, Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng emerged from the shadows.
He had a hint of confusion on his face, taking off his hat and shaking off the dust.
"Strange, what was she talking about? Wasn't it me who killed the old man?"
"Paradise was attacked?"
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng quickly analyzed the cause and effect.
He slammed his right fist into his left palm, suddenly realizing:
"So, attacking Dream Palace was just a smokescreen; the real target was Paradise."
"That's right, those things are in Paradise."
Inazuma pursed his lips and looked at Kong You.
"You'you, you knew all this, right?"
"Why didn't you tell me? Were you afraid I was an undercover agent?"
"That's no fun."
Kong You lowered her head and patted the mud off her boots.
"You're overthinking it, I'm just following Orders."
"As for the specific situation at Paradise, I don't know either."
"Then why didn't you hold her back? You just let her leave like that?"
"Our mission is to find a way to make the key, not to fight her."
Kong You took out the greed holy grail from her spatial ring, checked to make sure there were no issues, and then put it away.
It was a good thing she had put it away before she made another move.
If the holy grail had been destroyed, Donghai Zui would not have left Zu'an so easily.
Kong You glanced around, seeing nothing but broken walls and ruins, and gullies everywhere.
"Mission accomplished. Let's go, it's time for us to return too."
Suburban Grey Forest.
"Tsk, it's really cold."
"The temperature really drops fast after the sun sets."
The man hugged himself, jumping a few times in place, trying to warm himself up.
"You don't think a mutated creature will suddenly appear, do you?"
"Hard to say, after all," the other man suddenly turned his head to the side, because there was a rustling sound coming from there.
"Who! Come out! I see you!"
In the darkness, a humanoid black figure slowly walked out of the forest.
The two men were full of vigilance towards the sudden uninvited guest, both putting their hands on their sidearms.
It wasn't until the person walked in front of them that the two men breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a man wearing the uniform of Order Heavenly Kingdom.
His two eyes, though small, were very sharp.
His eyebrows were dark, and his chin was broad, giving him a very resolute feeling.
"You two have worked hard. The minister sent me to take over."
"This forest is very dangerous after nightfall, the minister wants you to go back first."
