Chapter 1104: Isabella In Danger (1/2)

When Jiang Fei, Ariel, and Isabella left the facility, Yang Xiao was escorted back into the confinement room, together with the rest of the officials. When Z12-7 and Z12-8 had received the confirmation that Jiang Fei was at the exit, they immediately changed their attitude. They were no longer the bodyguards that were supposed to “keep” Yang Xiao safe. The door to their confinement room was flung open and the middle-aged man was tossed inside. A completely different treatment before Jiang Fei left.

The room was filled with many other officers of the same age as Yang Xiao. They were once very important people, working for the government, treated with the utmost respect. Yet here they are, squandering in a small dormitory that was transformed into a confinement room.

The others saw how Yang Xiao was treated but neither one of them dared to do anything about it, merely a look of pity. Everyone was quiet. Everything was so tightly monitored that even a glance at each other would result in an electrifying punishment. If they were not allowed to, no one dared to speak, making the entire confinement room feel extremely gloomy and solemn.

…

When 0542 had informed Jiang Fei about Yang Xiao’s location, he stopped his tracks and patted Lieutenant Wang on his shoulders.

“Thank you for sending me off,” said Jiang Fei with a smile.

“You’re most welcome. I’ll have Mr. Jiang Fei to walk himself out. Here is where I stop. I am needed back at the office,” said Lieutenant Wang.

“Heh. I get it. Office work, right? It must be nice to be wanted. That being said, I advise you to walk out of here for a bit. Get outside and feel the air. In fact, I urge you to do it now,” said Jiang Fei, grinning as he did.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Lieutenant Wang stammered. He was so confused that he did not know how to respond to such comments.

“Heh…” Jiang Fei scoffed but gave Ariel a nod.

Ariel nodded back and waved her hand, teleporting everyone but Lieutenant Wang.

“What do you mean by that?! Mr. Jiang Fei! Come back! What’s outside? Mr. Jiang!” Lieutenant Wang cried out, trembling in fear. He was completely oblivious to the fact that he was just saved by Jiang Fei.

When Jiang Fei reappeared, he was standing next to Yang Xiao, as well as the other important officials.

“Y-You?! How did you–”

“Do it! Ariel!” Jiang Fei roared before Yang Xiao could finish his cries.

Ariel clapped her hands together and released a powerful electromagnetic barrier that interfered with any other radio waves from coming. The barrier extended outward, encasing the entire room and slightly further. The barrier was meant to protect everything inside it, especially the officials that had implants inside their bodies. Now, even if they wanted to, the Androids could not do anything to them since their remote signal could not penetrate the barrier to trigger the device.

“Fei! How could you be so reckless? You could have got us all killed! Nevermind that now, you need to leave!” said Yang Xiao even though he knew Jiang Fei was there to save them. Even though they knew Jiang Fei was strong in his own way, they were still oblivious to many other feats that he could do.

They knew Jiang Fei from the alliance and because of that, they assumed that Jiang Fei shared the same arrogance that all martial artists shared. They would not expect someone of Jiang Fei’s position to understand anything about robotics and Androids. They knew how strong a Level 5 Metahuman could be but they could not accept the fact that someone like Isabella could handle all Level 5 enemies, single-handedly.

“Relax, I’ve got this under control. I am here to defeat those Androids!” said Jiang Fei confidently.

As soon as he said that, alarms in the entire base went off. It was triggered when the Androids had detected conversations in the room. They tried to activate the device in their bodies but they noticed negative feedbacks from it.

“Ariel, maintain the barrier. Leave the rest to me!” said Isabella as she fiddled with the lackluster bracelet that was running low on Valium.

Woosh!

A powerful wave of red hot energy could be felt when Isabella injected herself with Valium. Her eyes glowed with intense red as she flashed out of the confinement.
