Cindy was taken aback, even forgetting to smoke the thin cigarette between her fingers.

She opened her mouth slightly, drew in a soft breath, and asked in a heavy voice:

“Are you sure?… Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?”

“Very reliable. I cannot reveal the source of the information.” Noland Lee said confidently:

“The Tatis Empire has used Life Elixir and controllable mutation techniques to shorten the formation time of the Nest Core and give birth to a large number of double winged mutants. This is the main reason why the Aberration Den in the Savage Stone Wasteland has developed so rapidly.”

Just as Cindy was about to ask something, Noland Lee shook his head and spoke first:

“Cindy, I cannot disclose the specific source of the intelligence.”

Noland Lee reached into his inner pocket and took out the prepared envelope, handing it to Cindy:

“Take a look.”

Cindy put down the thin cigarette in her hand and took the envelope.

She glanced at the simple map and the annotations on it:

“Is this a route map of the Empire’s delivery of Life Elixir to the Savage Stone Wasteland?”

“Yes.” Noland nodded and said:

“My request is simple. They want Union City to send a team to intercept this batch of Life Elixir. This route map is my show of sincerity. As for the intercepted Life Elixir, I suggest a 30/70 split. Your Golden Commerce Guild takes 70%. I take the remaining 30% and pass it on to the informant. In addition, I would like some monetary reward. The specific amount will be discussed after we have the Life Elixirs.”

Cindy, looking at the route map in her hand, breathed a long sigh and laughed:

“Next time you provide such heavy news, please let me be mentally prepared… My heart almost jumped out of my chest…”

Noland Lee picked up his teacup, leisurely took a sip, and gave Cindy a faint smile.

How important was this information?

It wouldn’t be too much to say it could change the entire battlefield.

Noland Lee put down his teacup and said:

“Cindy, the accuracy of this route map still needs to be confirmed. However, the other information I have disclosed is absolutely true. The enemies we are dealing with in this operation may be the Imperial Fist and double-winged mutants. So, if you don’t mind, I’d like to join the Life Elixir interception operation personally.”

“No problem, you should. Just wait a moment, and I’ll have the Golden Merchant’s Sword brought here.”

Cindy opened the door of the office and asked one of her subordinates to help bring the message.

About 10 minutes later, a burly man entered the office.

The man was nearly two meters tall, his body as wide as a door, with a thickness of at least 30 centimeters from chest to back.

A black leather cloak with gold edges covered most of his body, behind which was a double-handed heavy sword over a meter long and a delicate Alchemy Firearm.

When he shook hands with Noland, he wore gloves made of metal and soft leather. Underneath the lifted cloak was a full set of dark brown leather armor inlaid with metal plates.

“My name is Derek Davis, fifth-order Alchemist, the Golden Merchant’s Sword of the Golden Commerce Guild.”

Derek shook Noland’s hand with force, swaying it up and down. He spoke with a deep bear-like voice:

“Noland, I heard of you from Cindy and Kent long ago. Now I finally meet you personally.”

Noland slightly tilted his head and looked up at the taller Derek:

“Nice to meet you.”

Cindy handed Derek the envelope and verbally relayed the information passed on by Noland.

Derek put the envelope under his armor, grabbing his brown beard and said:

“As for the intelligence you have relayed, I fully believe in its authenticity. I don’t say this just because of intuition or something like that.

“Before I came, I received a message. The alchemists who arrived at the edge of the Fissure have concluded through experiments on site that the thin double-winged mutants have much higher physical activity than regular mutants. This is consistent with the Military Intelligence Department Five’s use of Life Elixir to accelerate the birth of double-winged mutants.”

Derek looked at Noland:

“The army of alchemists summoned by the Alchemy Cathedral will leave the day after tomorrow morning. But I think the interception of the Life Elixir probably can’t wait that long. I plan to set off immediately to intercept the Life Elixir. How do you feel about that, Noland?”

“That’s what I thought too.”

“Well then, see you in the backyard of the Iron Thorn Shield in an hour. I will be there with my team members… Cindy, prepare 15 motorcycles with full fuel. I have some Alchemy Traps and an Alchemy Cannon Tower. Give them to Mark.”

Derek looked rough, but was actually meticulous. He quickly arranged everything in a few sentences, even taking on the Alchemy Traps and Alchemy Cannon Tower that Kent had entrusted Noland to take care of for Mark.

Everyone began to take action.

Cindy went to the Iron Thorn Shield to arrange the transportation, Derek gathered his team, and Noland went to pack his things.

Speaking of packing, it was actually saying goodbye to Denise Green.

The two agreed that Denise would leave the city after Noland got out, and she would respond to his call within a range of 103 kilometers around Noland.

The maximum response distance was originally 100 kilometers, but now it’s 103 kilometers.

This was the result of Denise’s accelerated practice of the Rebirth Meditation Method these two days.

The panel data showed that her Rebirth Meditation had increased from Level 30 to Level 31. Correspondingly, the amount of Rebirth Magic Power she had stored dropped from over 1,000 points to around 600.
