David switched on the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device, an endless array of data appearing on the display before him. For someone without the relevant knowledge, it would be impossible to understand how the device worked, let alone operate it.

However, David managed to do it all with ease. The knowledge on electronic warfare that now existed in his brain allowed him to be aware of all the possible scenarios where he was most likely to expose his position.

He retrieved the T3 Sniper Assist Device and placed it beside the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device. The latter was very impressive, managing to capture the control system in the T3 Sniper Assist Device, which had a weak signal, in just ten seconds.

He discovered the code that had revealed his location and the location-hiding program that sent out location signals every hour.

With a flick of his finger, he switched off the program that sent out the position signals, the action a bit late considering the incident had already happened.

“Strange… Given the way those mercenaries acted, why would they place so much importance on the T3 Sniper Assist Device, especially since they left without the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device? The latter was left behind on the ground, too…” Although David had turned off the signal program, he still had plenty of questions left in his mind.

The K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device of the Electronic Warfare Division was a very valuable piece of equipment. Although David did not know its exact value, he was sure that it cost hundreds of thousands of credit points at the very least and was a truly luxurious piece of equipment.

On the other hand, the T3 Sniper Assist Device was just rare and difficult to obtain. It was far less valuable than the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device, and simply not worth the effort of deploying numerous armored mercenaries. The payoff was not at all proportionate to the gain.

Thinking to himself, he wondered, ‘Could it be that the T3 Sniper Assist Device has some secret?’

With that in mind, he began to look at the T3 Sniper Assist Device closely.

Although the equipment seemed simple, it was made up of a large number of smaller, very exquisite components. He could not disassemble it, and as a result, he could not find out the secrets within.

Turning around, he saw the Shadow Servant, causing his eyes to light up. Since the Shadow Servant could penetrate through tangible objects, wouldn’t that mean he would be able to see what was going on within the device?

Although the T3 Sniper Assist Device wasn’t very large, the Shadow Servant should at least be able to fit an eye through it.

Looking at the inner parts of the T3 Sniper Assist Device through one of the Shadow Servant’s eyes, David saw that there was a fingernail-sized chip glued to the side wall of the device.

It would be troublesome to take out the chip from the T3 Sniper Assist Device. The equipment was still intact after the explosion of the personal aircraft and the subsequent impact, so there was very little hope that David could affect it in any way. Even if he wanted to destroy it, he would have to break open the shell and remove the chip, which was practically impossible.

“Let’s see what this chip is for first,” David said, deciding to activate the chip and check its contents, even if he could not retrieve it.

In the past, David definitely wouldn’t have had the ability to do so. However, he had just received the 98%-Proficiency Electronic Warfare Retaliation ability. Activating a chip such as this one in very close proximity was a simple action.

The K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device emitted a weak wave of energy. With the way Shadow Servant was positioned, the weak energy directly connected with the chip’s energy interface, after which it began to activate.

A row of data then darted out of the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device, David glancing at what seemed to be messy codes. However, in his eyes, it was clearly data, all of which he gradually understood.

His hands moved quickly, and the row of data was transferred from the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device to his identity bracelet.

A projection then appeared on his identity bracelet, displaying the logo of Arca Bank.

Arca Bank was one of the many banks in the Star Federation, but the one with the highest level of secrecy attached to it. It claimed to be the safest too. Although one wouldn’t earn much interest from storing their credit points in a bank account at Arca Bank, their account balances would never be exposed. With that in mind, it was the best choice for people with dubious sources of income.

When David saw the logo of Arca Bank, he immediately understood what the chip was.

He had never seen the legendary anonymous accounts before, but he had heard the widely spread tales of special accounts.
