Chapter 63

"Taking a photo as a keepsake would be the right thing to do!!"

"How about it, if I take a photo, I'll help you with whatever you need?" Xiska had just finished speaking when Long Wei pulled her aside.

"Senior, is this really a good idea?"

"What's wrong with it?" Xiska countered, "It's better for them to go to the outer regions than to stay here. If Xi Ya and Zheng Chen fall into the hands of the Ediru Garden, what do you think will happen?"

"But the headquarters..."

"Hmph, if we don't say anything, who would know?" Xiska crossed her arms. Asking Zheng Chen to protect the association? That would be quite difficult. He would probably leave immediately if the suggestion was made. The initial actions were a bit too extreme.

No matter what, it might not be a bad thing for Zheng Chen to leave.

"But how do we send them away?" Long Wei was somewhat helpless. It wouldn't be easy to send Zheng Chen away.

"That's not a problem. We need to find a woman now! She owes me a lot of money, so it's time for her to do something useful." Xiska said with a sense of regret.

At this moment, Zheng Chen stood up and looked into the distance, "Who else is following us?"

"Who?" Xiska tilted her head in confusion, "It's just us."

"No." Zheng Chen shook his head.

Just as he was about to force the person in hiding to come out, they appeared on their own, "Hmm, what a cautious young man."

When Xiska saw the two people who emerged from the darkness, she was immediately shocked. One of them was Bagret, the delinquent uncle they had encountered while tracking Zheng Chen, who was skilled in extortion...

"You, you, you! You were following us!?"

"Huh? Kids really don't know how to speak." Bagret shook his head, "Was I following Amon? It's clearly protective love! Well, since we've found the people, what's next... Oh, that's dangerous!"

As Bagret walked forward, he stopped and looked at a steel needle on the ground. There were a few scattered around, and stepping on one would be quite painful, and... it was poisonous.

"There's no need to do this." Bagret raised his hand, "Although I still have some connections with the protection association, I'm not officially part of it. Your decision is quite good!"

Xiska looked at Bagret in surprise. His appearance made her think he was there to take Zheng Chen and the others back, but he was actually there to support them? This was different from what she expected.

"Surprised?" He chuckled and lit a cigarette, "I just know a bit more. If they stay here and fall back into the hands of the Ediru Garden, the continent's landscape will change rapidly!"

"Scaring us?" Xiska narrowed her eyes and glanced at Bagret, not quite believing him.

Bagret snapped his fingers and called to the girl behind him, "Enti, remember to bring the one million information fee after you finish reading..."

"How about you just rob us!!!" After taking the information from Enti, Xiska almost threw it to the ground when she heard what Bagret said next!

"Is that a lot? Then make it ten thousand. It's definitely worth it!"

Xiska rolled her eyes and began to read the information in her hand. The more she read, the more shocked she became. The information was about some special Holy War Angels... or rather, polluted Holy War Angels.

The information recorded the characteristics of these polluted Holy War Angels, which generally had powers surpassing normal Holy War Angels. Of course, these powers didn't come out of nowhere; they were expanded by drawing on the life force of their contractors!

Similarly, the attacks of these polluted Holy War Angels had a life-absorbing characteristic. Anyone hit by their attacks would have part of their life force stolen, which could restore the user and the user's Holy War Angel... it was almost like a demonic weapon.

"Are these still Holy War Angels?"

Xiska asked in shock. The source of the polluted Holy War Angels in the information all pointed to Zheng Chen and Xi Ya.

"Of course! So they can't stay here." Bagret smiled, "This continent has enough Holy War Angels. Adding another type of 'Demonic War Angel' would really cause chaos."

Perhaps at first, there wouldn't be much of an issue, but what about later? Disputes would certainly arise, especially within the Holy War Angels. Whether these polluted Holy War Angels would be recognized as legitimate was a significant issue.

Not only that, but the pollution process wasn't always successful, and even Holy War Angels had a high mortality rate!

"Such a hassle. What if the protection association gives them shelter?" Xiska frowned.

"Shelter? How can they provide it?" Bagret shook his head, "This secret hasn't been made public yet, clearly because the Ediru Garden has ulterior motives. If they fall into the hands of other forces, would this secret still need to be kept?"

The combat power of polluted Holy War Angels far exceeded that of normal Holy War Angels, and they could even sustain themselves in battle, far surpassing normal Holy War Angels. As for the issue of absorbing the user's life force... that was a different matter. Holy War Angels might be few, but humans were plentiful!

So, given time, any force that obtained Zheng Chen and Xi Ya could quickly build a powerful combat force!

However, once the secret was no longer a secret, no one could do this. Whoever obtained them would face pressure from all the forces on the continent. The harsh ones might directly execute them under the pretext of "stabilizing the Holy War Angels," while the more lenient ones might share the information.

"Alright, from your expression, you've already guessed the consequences, right?" Bagret took out a communicator, "Actually, headquarters also supports sending them away." What else could they do? Research? What a joke, the risks were too high, and Zheng Chen was too unpredictable. Would he cooperate?

His willingness to spread black particles in the Ediru Garden without hesitation proved that he could do even more extreme things if pushed to the limit. Looking at their past actions, Zheng Chen had precedent.

Xi Ya was also a bomb. If she went crazy... together, they could become a mobile source of plague!

The black particles not only affected Holy War Angels but also humans, and the damage to humans was even greater!

As he spoke, he connected the communicator, and the next moment, a man's roar erupted from it!

"Xiska!! You're defying orders and acting alone again!!!"

The roar made the campfire tremble, and Xiska, who was closest, was dazed, "Cough, cough, Director Faruk... I'm working for the peace of the continent. I'm the first one to find them!"

To prevent further roars, Xiska quickly explained that her independent action had a reason.

"Enough talk!" The roar in the communicator became a bit quieter, "I won't hold this against you this time, but you can't keep this a secret for long, so act quickly!"

Faruk didn't mention arranging a route. Xiska and the others had already reported Zheng Chen's situation, and if they did this, the others wouldn't believe it. If they were so kind, what if it was a trap?

"Tell them, once they leave, they shouldn't come back!"

The disputes over Holy War Angels were already numerous. Adding a new type of "Demonic War Angel" would only make things worse.

"In short, if you're willing to follow the arrangements, you can leave within a week. The association can easily find a couple of unrestricted smuggling ships."

Bagret rubbed his chin, saying that according to the investigation, Zheng Chen had also arrived here via a smuggling ship.

Zheng Chen shook his head; he didn't trust such arrangements. Personal help might be more trustworthy, but the risks of organizational assistance were too high, especially the risk of having a mole. "Alright, tell me your plan." Zheng Chen's refusal was expected.

"We plan to go to the Sun Kingdom in the desert." Xiska said directly, noticing Zheng Chen's slight raise of his eyebrows, she asked curiously, "What? Is there a problem?"

"No."

The Sun Kingdom in the desert... how to put it, this place was also suggested by Hyde when they were leaving. Due to its location, there were few extra forces, and the Ediru Garden's influence couldn't easily reach there. Finding a way out from there was a good choice.

She didn't expect Xiska to think the same way?

"Hmm? The Sun Kingdom, that's a good place, but your choice... must have another reason, right?" Bagret said casually, not very surprised.

Xiska's expression immediately stiffened... he hit the nail on the head!

"Because of Melvado?" He added, having read Xiska's information and knowing that her sister was in the Sun Kingdom in the desert. This wasn't important, but what was important was... her sister often withdrew Xiska's secret savings!

For this, Xiska had already lost her temper countless times.

"Ugh! This time, when I find her, I'll make her pay! Make her regret doing such a terrible thing!!"

Xiska roared, having been hit on a sore spot multiple times. In short, suggesting the Sun Kingdom had a personal vendetta mixed in.

However, Zheng Chen didn't say much. As long as the goal was achieved, the process didn't matter. With the addition of new members, the journey became much easier. Bagret's skills were high, and he somehow obtained transportation, but the costs were all charged to Xiska.

"Ugh! You should share the cost too!!" In the car, Xiska glared at the white-haired 'beauty' with a sense of regret. Behind him, Bagret's Holy War Angel, Enti, was enthusiastically helping him with his makeup...
