Chapter 16

With Su Yun’s reputation and her prominent status, her intimidation effect was obvious. The people around her immediately put away their weapons and lowered their heads, not daring to resist.

Although Paul and Claus were holding their weapons, the tips of their blades were pointed down. They had lost their will to fight, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

“Miss Su, you’re from the storm legion! I’m the bad guy here!”

Luo Xin wanted to say something to that effect, but in the end, he didn’t.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense.

To be more precise, one side was in despair while Luo Xin was speechless.

He had originally wanted to intimidate the other party so that Su Yun would not find trouble with him, and it would be easier for him to escape.

The result was good.

This girl…

Helplessly, he could only smooth things over and ease the atmosphere, “I’m not here to carry out a mission. I’m just here to give you a piece of advice.”

All eyes were on Luo Xin.

“Kemo Philo was used by someone. I don’t know if he was threatened or controlled, but from the information I have now, this situation has happened more than once. The storm legion should do some investigation on this.”

“What do you mean?” Paul asked.

Luo Xin replied, “It’s possible that someone with a mind control ability is causing destruction.”

Everyone’s expression changed.

Even Su Yun’s expression turned serious. She suddenly walked over to Luo Xin, reached out her fair and slender hands, and held Luo Xin’s face. She looked into his eyes nervously.

Luo Xin smiled and said, “Miss Su, do you think I’ll be controlled?”

Su Yun released her grip and retreated.

Concern made one confused.

She had fought Luo Xin many times and naturally knew how terrifying he was.

Any direct-effect ability would not be a threat when it was weakened by 100 times unless it was a three-star.

“Why do you say that?”

Mind control-type esper abilities were one of the most dangerous abilities. They could secretly control others and brainwash them into their own subordinates. They were sinister and difficult to guard against, so they were strictly controlled by the federation.

Such ability users were all recorded and monitored to prevent them from causing any damage.

“It’s just a guess. It’s large-scale, well-hidden, and they have a clear purpose. You’d better check your internal department to see if anyone is being controlled. That’s all I’ll advise. Goodbye.”

Luo Xin didn’t even look at everyone’s reaction. After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked away, holding the little loli’s hand.

He went down the steps and walked to the edge of the platform.

“Wait a moment,” Su Yun called after him.

Miss Su had followed them.

“Is there anything else, Miss Su?” Luo Xin asked, stopping in his tracks.

Su Yun was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Luo Xin, you’ve changed.”

“I didn’t love you to begin with.”

“You’re different from how you are in school.”

He failed to answer first.

Luo Xin had no choice but to ask, “What’s different?”

“You didn’t play dumb, you didn’t hide.”

“Miss Su, I was so weak at school, and those young masters were powerful and competitive. If I didn’t pretend to be a weakling, would I be able to see the sun the next day? But being in the secret forces is different, no one can find out my information, including you, right?”

The secrets of the secret forces were of the highest level, and even the high council member could not inquire any information about it at will.

“Give me your new contact information,” Su Yun said seriously.

Luo Xin replied, “No.”

Su Yun said, “I want to investigate the internal affairs of the storm legion. I need external help so I might privately commission you for help.”

Luo Xin replied, “You’re welcome to do so!”

Luo Xin immediately sent her his contact information.

Feelings were feelings.

Money was money.

He would be a fool to turn this down when there’s a chance to make money.

They exchanged contact information.

Su Yun immediately sent a message to Luo Xin, and after confirming that he had received the message, he nodded in satisfaction.

“See you later, Miss Su.”

Luo Xin waved goodbye, picked up Allie, and jumped off the platform, disappearing into the sea of clouds.

Su Yun lowered her head to look at the name on her watch and could not help but giggle. Suddenly, her expression froze as she realized that something was wrong.

She was going to find trouble with that b*stard!

Why did she let him smoothly get out of it?!

Su Yun looked at the sea of clouds, but he had already disappeared. She could only say to the air, “Don’t let me catch you next time!”

The little demoness knelt on the ground.

The room was dimly lit, and a slender and graceful figure was outlined in front of her.

A gentle voice said, “You failed your mission, and even let the secret forces notice you.”

“My queen, this… This was an accident. That kid is not normal! His ability was too strange, and his brain was not normal! I… I…” The little demoness immediately explained.

She stammered and her voice trembled. After saying a few words, she shut up and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

A snow-white fox tail reached over and gently lifted her chin.

The gentle voice said again, “The next time you see him, grab him and bring him to me.”

The little demoness’s eyes brightened as she excitedly said, “Yes! I won’t miss again this time!”

“Now, I want you to find someone.”

A holographic image appeared in the air. It was a lively and lovely rabbit girl.

————————-

Within the encampment.

Luo Xin was lying on the sofa and playing with his watch. The moment he returned, Su Yun sent him a message. He couldn’t reject her, so he started chatting with Su Yun.

On the sofa.

Allie hugged her knees and buried her chin between her knees as she stared at Luo Xin.

She opened her mouth to say something several times but stopped.

In the end, the little loli puffed up her cheeks and jumped off the sofa. She sat down beside Luo Xin. She used her little butt to press against the side of his ribs and pretended to look in another direction.

Luo Xin froze and stared at Allie.

Allie sneaked a glance at him, and after their eyes met, she immediately looked away.

Luo Xin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly ended the conversation, put away his watch, and sat up to get some water. He also asked Allie if she wanted water as well to break the silence.

“Do you want some water?”

“Yes.”

Allie held the cup of water and drank half of it before asking, “Who is she?”

“Someone I knew in school.”

“She’s very dangerous.” Allie was ambiguous with her words.

Luo Xin replied, “She’s really quite dangerous. It’s getting late, you should rest early today.”

It was already 10 o’clock at night.

He was a little tired after completing a mission today.

After returning to his room, Luo Xin didn’t rush to sleep. Instead, he lay on his bed and turned on his watch. He started reviewing their mission.

As the team leader, this was a must to facilitate the growth of the team and himself.

The next morning, in the office.

Allie sat on the sofa obediently with her back straight and her legs together. Her small hands were clenched nervously.

Right after breakfast, Luo Xin called out to her with a serious face. She didn’t know what it was about.

On the other side of the coffee table.

Luo Xin fiddled with the holographic projector and placed it in the middle of the table. He turned the area above the coffee table into a holographic projection area. He also held a multi-function laser pen in his hand, which he could use to draw as he pleased on the projection area.

Through the link on his watch, he played the summary of yesterday’s mission.

“Allie, let’s review yesterday’s mission. This is the rule of the team. In the future, every time we complete a mission, we must review it.”
