535 Disappointmen (2/2)

In the loud noise, the fragile desks and chairs were destroyed. The soup bowl fell to the ground and was crushed. In the corner, dust rose and fell down again.

Xavier's voice suddenly stopped, because a hand grasped his neck and pressed him against the wall.

Then he saw those dark eyes.

”I said, shut up!”

But Xavier squeezed out a smirky smile on his face. ”Look at your confidence… You don't know anything yet, Ye Qingxuan. You don't know what happened in that mist!”

Regardless of the gradually increasing pressure from the hand, he exhausted all his strength to say, ”Anglo is finished! No one can save it! I saw it clearly through the telescope! The monster will destroy everything! Including you!”

”Monster?” Ye Qingxuan frowned.

”Do you want to know what that monster is? Hahaha…” Xavier looked at him with ridicule. ”I will not tell you, Ye Qingxuan. I have lost the game already; you can torture me by any means, you can even kill me, but I will not tell you anything. One day, you will experience the same desperation that I did. By then, you will find that you have no way back… Hahaha!”

Bang!

Ye Qingxuan loosened his hand and let him fall down. Xavier knelt on the ground, trying hard to gasp and cough. Then he wiped off the snot and tears, and said with sneering eyes, ”Come on, Ye Qingxuan. What do you want to do? Show me your power. Let me see what you've learnt from Maxwell.”

”You want me to kill you?” Ye Qingxuan looked down at him indifferently. ”Rest assured, I will not.”

He reached out and touched Xavier's hair, with inexplicable sympathy in his eyes. ”I promise, you will get the proper punishment, in the right place. But before that, I will let you witness it all”

Ye Qingxuan paused and smiled. ”In the best place.”

Xavier was stunned, and didn't know what Ye Qingxuan wanted to do. However, when he was about to say something, he was hit on the head from behind by someone with a stick, then he fainted on the ground.

Soon, he was dragged away.

Ye Qingxuan returned to his seat, looking at the messy ground and waiting quietly.

After a long time, a middle-aged man named Niven appeared at the door and knocked.

”Mr. Ye, according to your instructions, the ship has been repaired.”

”Very well.” Ye Qingxuan nodded. ”Did everyone get the medicine? If the medicine is not enough, I will make more.”

”The doctor is giving them injections,” Niven replied. ”Most people have already recovered. The musicians examined them and said that the parasites had lost their activity. They will be fine after a good sleep. But four of them…are impossible to cure.”

Ye Qingxuan remained silent.

Under the order of Ye Qingxuan, the Fifth Division had entered the quiet period. All activities had ceased, and there would be no more activities or responses unless he received the order from headquarters.

In other words, the Fifth Division had entered a state of suspended animation.

The losses might be enormous, and suspended animation could change into ”real death” after a long time, but further loss of power in the chaos could be avoided, at least.

Most of the losses caused by Xavier's betrayal were the supplies and reserves in the bank. However, the truly precious talents and channels were hidden here and weren't impacted too much.

That was why Xavier planned to attack here.

Nearly 400 special commissioners were left: the talents of the Fifth Division.

These commissioners from various departments specialized in force and destruction. Most of them had the basic qualifications of a musician, and had undergone special training including assassination, poison, mechanical engineering, first aid, etc.

Each of them was carefully selected by Maxwell, so they had absolute loyalty to him. They were the internal forces of the Fifth Division, and the ”organists” who were awarded the badge by Maxwell himself.

Apart from their own capabilities, the secrets kept in their brains were even more precious than their lives.

In order to obtain complete power, Xavier had to implant the parasites into people untraceably through slow transformations and penetrations, relying on the oddities summoned by Mandel to control them.

He had to weaken their defenses bit by bit, and take control of them in the end.

But the consequence was that some people couldn't tolerate the transformation, so they lost control mentally and became psychotics. Those who realized his schemes had been sequestered at the excuse of mental disorder, and had even been killed after interrogation and thrown into the sea.

The Cloister of Cavern enclosed by the sea had become a prison.

If Ye Qingxuan had come back two weeks later, all the commissioners would have been brainwashed and become the puppets of Burgundy.

The Fifth Division would have completely collapsed.

Even now, it was still too late for some people.
