In the middle of the night, even in the busy casinos in the city of the night, didn’t have many people left inside. Only those people who were addicted to gambling and were unwilling to leave were left behind.
In a blind spot of a safe passage in the office district of a casino, a figure stood there silently like a statue
A red light flashed passed him. Someone appeared beside him suddenly.
“The interference device is on. We only have 60 seconds,” the figure said softly.
The statute-like man turned alive when he heard this. He nodded. A purple light blinked and disappeared.
The person that came later flew into the central control of the casino followed by the flash of red light.
In the control center, a middle-aged man stared intently at the multiple images on the screen. He was afraid that he would miss something on the surveillance cameras.
“T2-G9, everything is normal. Based on similar data, everything is normal.” The staff member beside him reported his findings.
“Watch them carefully. The higher authorities told us that someone will sneak in these next few days.” The middle-aged man didn’t relax after hearing what his staff member said. He just reminded his workers to be more careful.
“Yes!” All the staff members shouted in unison. They started attending to their jobs with even more care. If they made a mistake after they got reminded, they would be dead.
The two figures that sneaked into the office district dashed all the way. They didn’t stop at all. They seemed to know where their destination was.
There was a metal door at the end of the passage.
The two people shifted to the two sides of the door. They entered the blind spot of the surveillance cameras again.
This was their final destination. Their most difficult task was to open this door without alerting the guards. The other people who took this mission before them all got caught here.
The man with a cold aura saw a surveillance camera looking at the door shifting away. The surveillance camera on the other side started shifting to the door. In an instant, he flicked his fingers and a transparent paper flew out of his hand before landing on the metal door.
Since they dared to come, they had made ample preparations.
The tiny transparent paper blinked. The numbers ‘o’ and ‘1’ started shining. They disappeared in a second and the paper turned transparent again. The people watching the surveillance cameras could see the paper.
When the two surveillance cameras changed their positions again, the sound of the door opening was heard. A small crack formed on the door. Without any reminder, the two of them turned into two flashes of light and entered the crack.
They were so focused on sneaking in that they didn’t notice that when they entered the door, a black and a blue aura floated in after them.
“Head, there’s something weird with the door.” The staff member watching the surveillance cameras noticed something wrong with the door and shouted hurriedly.
“Are they here?” The middle-aged man got excited. Waiting was the worst kind of torment. Since they were there, things would be easier.
“Activate all the defensive systems in the central district. Let’s see how they would pass through all that,” the middle-aged man ordered his staff. He didn’t understand why Young Master Rong ordered him to do this. If it was him, he would send all the powerful people in the organization to kill these intruders. However, Young Master Rong was his superior. The higher authorities also ordered him to listen to Young Master Rong. Thus, although he had qualms about the decision, he still followed Young Master Rong’s orders.
He then reminded Young Master Rong that the people he had been waiting for were here.Read the next chapter on our novelhall.com
Xiao Yiqiu, who was lying on his bed, felt his communicator vibrating. He opened it and smiled.
“I lost the other time. This time, I won’t lose
again.”
“Knock knock…”
Someone knocked on his door.
Xiao Yiqiu was shocked. The only person who could knock on his door was Su Pei. Why was he looking for him in the middle of the night?
He opened the door. It was indeed Su Pei. He was looking nervously at him.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Yiqiu asked helplessly.
“The mecha tournament will start tomorrow. We will be participating too. I’m too nervous to sleep. I want to chat with you.” Su Pei seemed nervous about the competition tomorrow.
“Su Pei, if you get so nervous now, how are you supposed to handle the Flying Dragon Special Forces’ assessment?” Xiao Yiqiu’s smile disappeared. He turned serious.
Su Pei was stunned. This was the first time Xiao Yiqiu showed him another expression besides smiling. It was the first time he saw such a serious expression on Xiao Yiqiu’s face.
Ever since Xiao Yiqiu got saved by the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, he turned more oppressive and controlling, even Su Pei started listening to him.
Su Pei felt that it was because he had matured after undergoing so many obstacles. During the time Xiao Yiqiu got abducted by the mysterious organization, he must have experienced much torment. Hence, he matured instantly overnight. Su Pei never asked Xiao Yiqiu what he went through at that time. He was waiting for Xiao Yiqiu to tell him voluntarily after he put everything behind him.
As his best friend, this was the only thing he could do. Before his friend’s wounds were healed, he didn’t want to uncover the wounds and injure him again.
Su Pei decided to wait patiently but he felt helpless too. If he was stronger, he might be able to help Xiao Yiqiu with his internal conflict. This sense of helplessness pushed Su Pei to become stronger. He knew that Xiao Yiqiu’s dream was to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces. He couldn’t help Xiao Yiqiu with anything so he decided to accompany him as he moved towards his dream. He would become his most trustworthy comrade.
Many thoughts went through Su Pei’s mind in that instant. Yes, if he couldn’t control his nervousness now, how could he continue to accompany Xiao Yiqiu? The assessment of the Federation was the hardest assessment in the Federation. The mecha tournament was nothing compared to it.
Many young and promising young man was filled with courage and ambition when they took on the assessment. In the end, they still failed. Su Pei had looked at the results of the assessment in the past few years. Only one in ten thousand participants passed the assessment every year. In some years, there was no one that succeeded.
If they really wanted to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces, they needed to take every chance to improve themselves. If not, everything was just empty thoughts.
The nervousness on Su Pei’s face slowly disappeared. He regained his calmness and gentleness again. He smiled at Xiao Yiqiu. “I understand. Yiqiu, thank you.” He turned around and went back to his own room.
Xiao Yiqiu smiled at Su Pei’s back before slowly closing his door.
