1072 Snatch 2 (1/2)
”The Tenth Royal Highness,” one of the men shouted. ”We are the Special Order and we will be under your command to investigate the Blue Frost Sect's incident,” this person was tall and wore a pair of spectacles. He looked gentle and harmless. He had a snow-white longsword by his waist and was in a clean white suit.
Garen stood at the driver's window of the Flying Ship as he looked down at the crowd.
”Are all of you sent by the First Elder?”
”No, we are a group of people sent by the Second Elder and Third Elder,” the man in glasses adjusted his glasses as he replied calmly. ”I am the Deputy Minister of the Special Intelligence Department. You can call me Glasses.”
”Am I of the highest command for this mission?” Garen nodded.
”Naturally.”
Garen glanced at the crowd and the male to female distribution was very equal. Although all of them were wearing the Two Hearted Pauldron, they did not seem to be in the age to be training as a Two Hearted Disciples. Hence, the only conclusion was that they had become members of the headquarters when they graduated from being Two Hearted Disciples.
”Let's get aboard and prepare to head out,” he said calmly.
”However, there are two other royal highness on their way!” The man in glasses shouted.
”There are two others?” Garen squinted his eyes. ”Which two?”
As the man in glasses was about to speak, two white lines were drawn across the sky. In an instant, they landed underneath Garen's Flying Ship at the side of the crowd. They were one male and female each dressed completely in white.
One of them was Eva. her expression was cold as if she was another person. It was obvious that Rainy's death had a huge impact on her as she looked rather pale.
The other person was a muscular man with a small white cat on his shoulder.
”King Cat?” Garen recognized this man.
Although King Cat looked like a sincere, muscular and tall man, the small and pure white cat made his frightening appearance much softer.
”I represent the Third Elder in this team.”
Eva stared coldly at Garen.
”I represent the Second Elder in this team.”
”It looks like I'm the captain of this team?” Garen laughed. No one disputed it, including Eva as everyone assumed he's in charge.
This meant that everyone had recognized him as the strongest person around. Only the person who possessed strength had a say in everything in this Sect.
Although the Energy Machinists of Planet Naga were very good in computing power, they had used all their computing power in increasing their strength and they rarely branch out from it. Hence, the Energy Machinists were often viewed as barbarians. One of their characteristics was that they respected people with power.
”Since everyone has arrived, let's move out,” Garen ordered coldly.
He was the first one who leaped into the vortex with his ship. The rest then went up to their ships and flew into it. Soon, the icy field had returned to its quiet environment.

”According to intel, the traitor of the Dragon Light Sect is called Agathon. He has the strength of an Inherited Level on the surface but we're unsure if this intel is reliable. The reason he had betrayed the Sect was because he had raped and murdered the Fifth Elder's granddaughter of the Dragon Light Sect. This is the wanted assistance order we, the Intel Department had received from the Dragon Light Sect.”
Glasses sent information to Garen's Flying Ship while the Flying Ship was in the middle of a dimensional leap.
”Agathon?” Garen rubbed his chin. The rotating person on the monitor was a thin, tall man. He looked very normal and seemed to be a little bit handsome. He had elegant eyes and eyebrows and didn't look like a rapist or murderer.
”What's the overall inside story?” He questioned.
Glasses was slightly stunned as he replied, ”Amazing Garen your Highness. You're able to guess that there's an inside story without much lead,” he continued after flattering him. ”The inside story is that this man and the granddaughter of the Elder are lovers. He was a very talented man with a very bright future but he seemed to be framed by someone. After raping and murdering his lover, his reputation was thrown down the drain and had no choice but to escape. The mastermind is indeed a cruel man.”
”Who else is assisting in this killing other than us?”
”Hmm… There are two other powerhouses from two different sects. They are the Black Dragon Sect and Sky Sword Sect which were from the same planet. There were also other Inherited Level Pilots which were hired as well,” Glasses answered truthfully. ”Since this planet is rather far away, our intel isn't really reliable so we don't know their actual strength.”
”That's fine…” Garen said calmly.
The leap soon had reached an end.
In the sky above the gray and white mountains, a black hole appeared among the blue sky and white clouds as a few white Flying Ships suddenly flew out from the black hole.
Although these Flying Ships had been dyed white, its side still had the Scarlet Snow Sect's red emblem.
”Location confirmed.”
”The Headquarter of the Blue Frost Sect's old address is approximately one thousand six hundred fifty-three kilometers away.”
”Activating risk factors and surrounding awareness.”
The participating members didn't even require any orders to act and formed a formation as they put Garen, Eva and King Cat in the middle of it.
Sizzle.
It seemed that one of the member's scanning device was faulty as it gave off a disturbing noise.
”I'm sorry I'm sorry!!” The young man immediately shouted among the team.
”It's fine. Is it your first time out for this outstation mission? Stay calm. Everyone has a first and mistakes are bound to happen,” Eva comforted gently.
It was only then when the member gave a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely.
