Chapter 1146: Odd Response (2/2)

The Primordials having internal dispute was the first step to test the waters. If they had known that using threats and force was the best way to get their way, they would have resorted to using it sooner. For example, they could have just given the ultimatum to them, either surrender or face deletion.

“You are well informed about our recent problems. Hence, it is imperative that you are to find a way to end the war between the High Humans and the Primordials. That is the fastest way for you to effectively reduce the number of NPCs that have the potential to become an enemy,” Z0-11 exclaimed.

“I’ll try my best. If that’s all, I’d like to head back now,” said Jiang Fei. There were still questions lingering on the tip of his tongue but he could not find the urge to ask.

“As you wish,” Z0-11 said, retreating.

“Lets go.” Jiang Fei called Ariel.

Ariel nodded and flashed the two of them back to Earth.

When they reappeared back on Winter Islands, Ariel was looking extremely pale. It seemed that long distance teleportation was possible but it took a toll on her frail body.

“Are you alright?” Jiang Fei asked as he extended a helping hand to support Ariel.

“I’m fine. I’m just a little weak. I’ll be normal again with a little rest,” Ariel said.

“Would you like to rest?”

“No need. This is nothing. I wish to be by your side,” said Ariel, insisting on staying. Knowing full well that 0542 was working with the Unknowns, Ariel dared not walk away from 0542, not until she had concrete evidence to show to Jiang Fei of 0542’s betrayal.

…

After the two had left the moon base, Straz came up to Z0-11.

“0542 has been compromised, Ariel knows about us.”

“Did she intercept the data package?” Z0-11 asked. Its monotonous digital voice was extremely vague. One could not tell what it was thinking by solely listening to its words.

“Fortunately, no. She doesn’t have anything.”

“Good. So be it. This should not be of your concern. Your top priority should always be hastening the progress of Braveheart’s construction.”

Z0-11’s manner of speaking and its choice of words indicated that it was not at all affected by 0542’s compromise.

“As you wish,” said Straz before retreating from Z0-11 and exiting the hall.
