Chapter 1103: Inhumane (1/2)

The door was opened and there was no reason for Jiang Fei to turn back and leave. However, as per Ariel’s detection, Jiang Fei waited for ten minutes or so to wait for someone to welcome them in.

“Good day, Mr. Jiang Fei. I am the Chief’s executive assistant. You may call me Wang.”

A man introduced himself as Wang. From the looks of his appearance, he was only a Lieutenant. It was hard for Jiang Fei to read his expression in order to determine where Wang’s fealty lied. He could be pretending to obey the rebellion or perhaps he might have genuinely fallen to their temptation.

It did not matter since Wang was not of his concern. Jiang Fei followed him down the underground facility, in hopes to meet General Fan. they walked for quite some time and was led into a meeting room, the same room where Fan Yao had their “merry” conversation a while back.

“Mr. Jiang, please wait here while the Chief gets ready,” said Lieutenant Wang politely. He left immediately after that, hastily.

“Anything different from the last time we’ve been here?” Jiang Fei asked.

“Mhm… Besides additional troops and a few Level 5 auras, nothing much,” Ariel replied after a significant pause.

“How many are they? Level 5s,” Jiang Fei turned to Isabella.

“I can sense 21 of them. One of them is exceptionally strong,” said Isabella after a long pause. Unlike Ariel who excelled in sensory skill, Isabella had to concentrate for a bit to feel her enemies.

“Exceptionally strong, you say?” Jiang Fei repeated her statement. In his mind, he guessed that should be the leader of the rebellion.

While Jiang Fei was left to himself with Ariel and Isabella to investigating the entire base, there was another group of “people”, monitoring all three of them via a monitor.

“Why are they here? Did he found out about us?”

“Unlikely. He is probably here to seek an explanation from us for attacking the martial artists.”

“What is our next course of action?”

“I suggest letting someone else to deal with this. We cannot just let them sit there.”

“I concur. Let them stray away from the main path.”

“Z12-7, Z12-8, please handle this problem.”

“Will do, sir.”

Two Androids stood up from their docking station and immediately got ready to work.

A few minutes later, a man in his late forties, clad in military uniform, came into the room with two Androids. The two Androids were made to look like bodyguards but Jiang Fei knew the truth.

“You must be young Fei. Old Fan had told me so much about you,” said the middle-aged man. He shook Jiang Fei’s hands and smiled. Jiang Fei, being at the highest alert, could detect a hint of coercion from his smile. His facial tics were very well hidden but to Jiang Fei’s eyes, he might as well be crying for help. With that thought in mind, Jiang Fei knew that the higher-ups of the military had already been compromised.

“Mr. Jiang, this is our Chief of Staff, General Yang Xiao,” said Lieutenant Wang after General Yang Xiao entered the room.

“Greetings, General,” said Jiang Fei, smiling back. Although he understood the big picture, he needed to know details about the entire situation in order to slowly pick out the bad guy. There was a chance that these humans were being held against their will. He needed to make sure before he wreaked havoc to the entire base.

The two began to talk about unimportant matters and as they did, Jiang Fei caught Yang Xiao making involuntary jitters. Whenever Jiang Fei tried to steer the topic about the underground base, or anything that had to do with his job, he would shudder for a bit, before attempting to change the topic.

“Darling, I sense an electronic device implanted in his chest. I noticed a flow of electrical current releasing into his heart whenever you tried to talk about this underground facility,” said Ariel through telepathy.
