The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103

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 .

Having a keen sense of anything related to electricity, Ariel had noticed the sudden changes in the man’s body . At first, she merely thought it was normal human anatomy but after so many occurrences, Ariel began to suspect foul play . She extended her consciousness towards the man and detected a small electronic device that was responsible for the sudden jolt of electricity .

“What an inhumane treatment! Is that how they are planning to treat us humans? Worse than animals in the zoo?”

“Darling, don’t get too excited . We both know that you’re not as good at masking your emotions . More importantly, if you try to do anything, they might toggle the device intensity to the maximum to kill the man and anyone else . ”

“Fine . I’ll play along . ”

When Yang Xiao could finally relax, he noticed the sudden change of Jiang Fei’s expression . He then tried to re-engage the conversation once more .

“Fei, to what do I owe the pleasure of your company? We have been talking for sometime now and I’d like to not waste your time,” said Yang Xiao in the most courteous tone . It was not from the heart but merely a script that he was forced to follow .

Jiang Fei arched an eyebrow . He was surprised that the man was even allowed to ask such a daring question . Jiang Fei, not knowing the truth, had thought that the Androids were forcing Yang Xiao, which they did but Jiang Fei did not know that .

“I am here,” he stopped for a moment to draw a deep breath, “I am here to ask you to stop all attacks on the Martial Artists Alliance . ”

Jiang Fei was naturally spitballing it . At this moment, he knew for a fact that the rebellion knew their own shortcomings . Although they wanted to attack them, they did not dare to make a move against the larger sects, sects with Level 5 masters capable of decimating the entire country if provoked . Their own Level 5 Androids were nothing more than children to them .

Jiang Fei came up with that ridiculous statement for the sake of buying time for 0542 to scan the entire base to locate where the higher-ups were locked .

“Captain, I have their position!” 0542 reported after 10 minutes of “discussion” .

Jiang Fei nodded subtly and quickly ended the discussion before they could even reach a proper conclusion .

“I do not care about what the military wants . You know what I am capable of . Stop the attacks or we will retaliate . Trust that I will not hold back on this,” said Jiang Fei as he stood up and thrust out his hand to signal the end of the discussion .

Yang Xiao was utterly confused about the entire meeting but as instructed by his tormentors, he stood up, shook Jiang Fei hands, and sent him away .

“We will consider . Please follow Lieutenant Wang,” said Yang Xiao before he walked out of the room with the two bodyguards .

“Mr . Jiang, if you would please follow me . I shall lead you back outside,” said Lieutenant Wang as he politely invited Jiang Fei out of the meeting room .

When Jiang Fei, Ariel, and Isabella walked out and away from General Yang Xiao, the two bodyguards that were escorting him shared a look . Even though it was unexpected, they still achieve the result they wanted—for Jiang Fei to be led away from the path .

“0542, track down Yang Xiao and continue to do so until I say otherwise . Make sure to inform me when he is being locked up,” Jiang Fei ordered 0542 .

“Yes, captain . ”

“Mr . Jiang . I believe that we might have gotten off on the wrong foot . I believe that we should calm and solve our misunderstandings and work together . For the good of the country, that is,” said Lieutenant Wang as he led Jiang Fei out of the base .

“Believe me, I share the same sentiment but unfortunately, neither of us would back down,” said Jiang Fei sarcastically . He had no idea which side was Wang on . Hence, it was best to just treat him as someone hostile .

Just as Jiang Fei was reaching the entrance of the base, 0542 reported back . ‘

“Captain, I have tracked Yang Xiao . He is currently being locked away!”

“Good, time to rattle the cage . Ariel, if you would be so kind?”

Jiang Fei nodded to Ariel, winking at her . It was time to act .
