427 Secretive (1/2)
River of West Flor, Flor State
A steam yacht slowly travelled along the river. The bright and sweet voice of the tour guide lady could be heard, ”Passengers... in one hour, we will reach the next famous tourist attraction, Flor Reservoir!! This is the first man-made reservoir in our Federation, it utilises 42 levels of steam valves to control the system, its water capacity...”
Fang Yuan laid on the recliners and enjoyed the views from both sides.
The river's sceneries were beautiful. Furthermore, fishes were abundant in the river.
From time to time, a few teenage girls excitedly screamed and took photos of the big fishes leaping from the waters.
”I'm right indeed! The spiritual aura of this gem is from this river stream... a certain spiritual energy node is underneath the waters?”
Fang Yuan pondered as he stroked the gem on the sceptre.
Beside him, Lucy had to dismally take up the role of a nanny as she took care of the clueless Angel.
Ever since the massacre that time, Angel did not know why she still stayed at Fang Yuan's side. Perhaps it was because she feared the troubles going back would bring about or it was because this ”Lei” was too mysterious, which made her unknowingly curious.
Unnecessary curiosity usually led to the downfall of a woman!
”Sir, there's a situation!”
Suddenly, Lucy's face tensed up. A digital ringing noise rang from her body, she quickly hid in a corner to pick up the call and her expression changed even more as she listened.
”I received a request for aid, it was from Paul and Amun, the third in command! They are currently rushing towards us... But at the same time, the society has declared them to be traitors, any member who sees them must kill them immediately!”
”White Pigeon Society's third in command defected?”
Fang Yuan sipped his fruit juice and continued, ”Didn't y'all White Pigeon Society say that you all were a peace-loving organisation? How come there are such ideological disputes?”
Those in the forefront leadership positions of a large organisation would have largely similar interests. As long as they were smart, they would maintain a competitive yet harmonious situation, unless they had fundamental differences and disagreements in ideologies.
”I don't know too...”
Lucy was at a lost.
This period of time where she was with Fang Yuan was her most unrestrained and liberated moments. At the same time, her beliefs in White Pigeon Society's original ideologies wavered too.
Lucy shook her head and tried to force herself to forget about all these thoughts. However, she then asked curiously, ”Sir... should we save them?”
”Why should I save them?” Fang Yuan answered indifferently.
”They must have obtained some important intelligence! Or perhaps White Pigeon Society is planning to go against you?” Lucy tried to test the waters and asked.
”So what?”
Fang Yuan carefreely stood up and stretched, ”Why would humans be bothered about the hostility of a few ants?”
”That's true too...”
Lucy pinched Angel's cheeks and smiled suddenly.
”With this powerful killing machine, even if the two society leaders from the black and white societies gathered, they would be killed...” This lass was too clueless, she did not know about the existence of separation materials.
Moments later, Fang Yuan looked towards the tail of the yacht and shook his head, ”They're here!”
”Oh! Quick, look!”
”Evolvers!”
”Mutants!”
”They can fly!”
...
A ruckus erupted on the yacht soon enough. Numerous tourists who wished for even more chaos quickly whipped out their cameras and took photos of the silhouettes chasing after the tail of the yacht.
”Oh, they are crashing onto us, Lord!”
Lucy glanced towards the back and saw Paul controlling sand.
He ingeniously formed a speedboat with sand and was speedily escaping while chasing after the large yacht.
In the mid-air, there were three birdmen with wings that were repeatedly shooting their guns.
”Bang! Bang!”
Under the rain of bullets, Paul remained steadfast and suddenly pressed the bottom of his boat with both his hands.
”Huuu! Huuuu!”
Two large hands made out of sand extended and grabbed onto the yacht which was in front as Paul flipped aggressively.
”Zoom!”
Paul turned into a stream of black shadow at once, forming a beautiful arc as he was about to land on the deck of the yacht steadily.
Unfortunately, he sadly forgot about something, and that was Angel's presence.
Once he went past a certain boundary, his mighty sand hands crumbled immediately and turned into a rain of fine sand grains.
Paul let out a shriek as he fell from 10 plus metre above and landed on the floor. Although he had supernormal physical qualities, he was still badly smashed onto the floor and many of his bones broke.
”Paul...”
Lucy went forward nervously, ”How did you become like this?”
”There's no time! I have something to tell Mister Lei immediately!”
Paul gave a bitter laughter and he replied, ”Of course... most importantly, I must settle these pursuers chasing after me first...”
In actual fact, there was no need to settle them.
