Upon hearing what the old lady Viktor said, Maka couldn’t help but show a complicated expression.
But he quickly pulled himself together and spoke to old lady Viktor.
“Thank you for your answer, Mrs. Viktor.”
“It’s nothing, just a small favor.”
After saying that to Maka with a wave and a smile, old lady Viktor paused for a moment, then continued asking.
“Do you have any other questions you’d like to ask?”
Hearing this, Maka and the black-haired beauty exchanged a look, then both shook their heads and answered in unison.
“We don’t have any more questions.”
“Since you have no more questions, you might as well get some good rest today. After all, once the plan kicks off tomorrow, we won’t have any time to rest, mm.”
“Mrs. Viktor, what’s wrong?”
Noticing that the old lady’s expression had suddenly turned serious, and not knowing what was happening, Maka quickly asked her.
“We’re surrounded.”
Having received feedback from the ghosts she usually used for early warnings, old lady Viktor answered Maka and the black-haired beauty in a calm tone.
“What? We’re surrounded? How is that possible?”
The black-haired beauty looked at old lady Viktor with a surprised expression.
“I guess it’s because the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs found out about you asking me to get rid of the obstacles in your way at GreenTech Pharmaceuticals.”
After a brief moment of surprise, Maka recalled what had happened at the Night Song Bar a few days ago, quickly realized something, and then said this to the black-haired beauty.
Hearing this, the black-haired beauty thought back to the methods she had used over the past few days to cover her tracks. Feeling that she hadn’t done anything too wrong, she said to Maka.
“The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs finding out about the removal of my obstacles at GreenTech Pharmaceuticals seems pretty unlikely.
Even if they suspect I had something to do with Fang Ruoming’s death, first, I haven’t been recklessly using my supernatural powers inside GreenTech Pharmaceuticals. Second, the drugs I provided to Fang Zhicheng, before being catalyzed with supernatural power, were no different from regular medicine. Third, the things I got from Fang Zhicheng, including the Mercedes-Benz I used to pick up Mrs. Viktor, were all properly transferred and disguised. Fourth, I still have the paper clone you gave me to fool them.
No matter how capable the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is, they shouldn’t have found our hideout here in Windbreak City so quickly.”
“Alright, what’s the use of saying all this now? Hurry up and get ready, and break out of here with this old lady.”
Hearing the black-haired beauty’s words to Maka from behind her, old lady Viktor quickly reminded her and Maka not to focus on anything unrelated to the breakout.
Hearing this, the black-haired beauty wanted to say something else, but intimidated by old lady Viktor’s authority and realizing that this really wasn’t the time to be talking nonsense, she wisely shut her mouth and waited for old lady Viktor’s arrangements.
“Mrs. Viktor, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do? Of course, we’ll rely on our raw strength to break out before the people surrounding us form a tight encirclement.”
“Ah, Mrs. Viktor, isn’t that a bit risky?”
“With this old lady here, what are you worried about?”
After asking Maka that rhetorical question, old lady Viktor didn’t wait for his reaction. Instead, she turned around, picked up her luggage, and tossed it to him.
“Mrs. Viktor, what do you mean by this?”
Maka fumbled to catch the old lady’s luggage, and not understanding what she was doing, he looked up and asked her.
“What else? I’m asking you to carry the luggage for this old lady who’s over seventy.”
Old lady Viktor said very directly.
Hearing this, Maka’s face first showed surprise, then he instinctively wanted to say something. But remembering old lady Viktor’s status and strength, he quickly controlled himself and said to her instead.
“Mrs. Viktor, I’ll make sure to carry your luggage well.”
“Good. No time to lose. Let’s start the breakout now.”
With a soft chuckle at Maka and these words, old lady Viktor turned around, walked to the door of the presidential suite, opened it, and gracefully walked back the way she had come.
Seeing this, the black-haired beauty and Maka, still inside the presidential suite, didn’t say anything more. Instead, they followed right behind her.
…
“Director Bai, all the unrelated personnel near this five-star hotel should have been evacuated by now, right?”
Standing with Bai Yuling on the small square not far from the five-star hotel, knowing that the supernatural criminal they were here to arrest today was inside, and recalling what had happened the night before, Si Yexing quickly asked Bai Yuling beside her.
“Don’t worry, Miss Yexing. All unrelated personnel near the hotel have been evacuated. You don’t have to worry about the upcoming fight affecting them.”
Knowing why Si Yexing was asking this question, Bai Yuling quickly reassured her.
“That’s good to hear.”
Relieved by Bai Yuling’s answer, Si Yexing then continued asking, “Director Bai, when do we start the operation?”
“We’ll wait until the encirclement is fully formed before making our move. After all, according to the information provided by Miss Ji Zige, the supernatural criminals inside the hotel are more than just the mysterious suit guy we knew about and that woman named Hua Yiya.”
“Waiting until the encirclement is fully formed, Director Bai, that might already be too late.”
“Hmm? Why is that?”
“Because the other side has already spotted us and will be walking out of the hotel any moment now.”
Sensing the surge of supernatural power emanating from the hotel, moving toward them without any attempt at concealment, and knowing exactly what that meant, Si Yexing answered Bai Yuling beside her.
“What? They’ve already spotted us? How is that possible? Our bureau’s operations have always been very discreet.”
“That woman named Hua Yiya is also very meticulous in her work, but our organization’s Ji Zige still found clues. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here.”
Hearing the disbelief in Bai Yuling’s voice, Si Yexing recalled how the other version of herself, Ji Zige, had spent an entire day yesterday monitoring the black-haired beauty Hua Yiya, finally seeing through her disguises and cover-ups, and then following the trail to this hotel to organize the arrest of her and her accomplices. So she said this to Bai Yuling.
