Chapter 364: Chapter 215 Completely Exposed! (Three in One)_4 "Your Mercenary Group not only displays high efficiency and excellent results, but it also maintains internal harmony without any issues. Mr. Lan, you certainly know how to manage!" "Oh no, it’s all just to make a living. I try to satisfy my customers and my people. As the boss, I’m content if I can get a little something for myself." "Such an understanding boss is hard to find these days. Given your empathy, Mr. Lan, we’d like to request your help in investigating some matters. I trust you won’t refuse." "Naturally. If the Academy Alliance requires any assistance, our Qi Lan Mercenary Group, from top to bottom, will cooperate fully." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 "Excellent. Then please accompany us." "How long will this take? If it’s going to be a while, I’d like to first assign some tasks to my subordinates to ensure things are handled in my absence." "No need. You’ll be back very soon, within 24 hours," one of the three fifth-transition experts, a short-haired woman, said with a smile. Seeing this, Rangu stood up without further comment. "Then let’s go. We shouldn’t delay the three of you any longer." "Mr. Lan is indeed straightforward." The three approached Rangu. The short-haired woman placed her hand on his shoulder, preparing to take him away, while the other two planned to remain at the Qi Lan Mercenary Group headquarters. At this point, everyone in the Qi Lan Mercenary Group began to look uneasy; they were obviously growing restless. The moment the three fifth-transition powerhouses arrived, these Aliens knew there was no way out. If the investigation had already reached Rangu, how long would it be before the others were found? Pretending to be normal was now futile, so they no longer cared about exposing themselves. Furthermore, Rangu had previously instructed them to prepare for a full-blown uprising, so they were already eager for action. The Academy Alliance was undoubtedly aware of their intentions. Since Rangu was being taken, the entire Qi Lan Mercenary Group couldn’t expect to escape easily, especially with suspicions so clearly upon them. How could the Academy Alliance possibly let these individuals go unchecked? With the presence of the three fifth-transition powerhouses and the coordinated efforts of numerous Academy Alliance experts outside, the entire Qi Lan Mercenary Group was now under lockdown—entry only, no exit. It truly seemed they were about to be wiped out in one fell swoop. However, following Rangu’s secret orders, everyone remained outwardly calm and composed. Rangu wasn’t worried at all. An incredibly severe Disaster was about to be deliberately triggered in the Yongming Star System by their side. When that happened, the people in the Solar System would be too preoccupied with their own survival to manage anything else, and all of the Academy Alliance’s current plans would be thrown into disarray! Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. The four individuals in the wilderness had been apprehended, and Rangu was now also in custody, being taken to the Earth command center for this operation. It appeared the Academy Alliance was achieving unprecedented success in its campaign against the Aliens. Just then, Chen Mo also received a message from Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun: Chen Mo, the intelligence you provided this time was crucial. We’ve located a stronghold called the Qi Lan Mercenary Group, and it’s highly probable this is the Aliens’ primary base of operations. Chen Mo: The Academy Alliance is incredibly efficient! You’ve already pinpointed their main base? Jiang Yun: Not exactly. It’s just that this Qi Lan Mercenary Group seems suspicious in every aspect. Chen Mo: If they’re suspicious in every aspect, why wasn’t it discovered sooner? Jiang Yun: You’ve misunderstood. When I say ’suspicious,’ I don’t mean they’re careless or make many mistakes. On the contrary, the entire Mercenary Group operates with extreme competence, almost perfectly, without a single error. That’s not something a normal corporate entity can achieve. I believe this is very likely the Yongming Star System’s main headquarters here. Only professional spies could operate so flawlessly. Chen Mo: Understood. By the way, can I head over there now? One of the individuals there has a quest item of mine. It’s crucial that no one else touches it, or things could get very problematic. Chen Mo definitely didn’t want things to escalate to a point where allies turned on each other. More importantly, he didn’t want some fifth-transition powerhouse to find the item, become greedy, and decide to kill him for it.
