The rotten smell filled the air . The dark and cold air pierced into the bones .
In a pitch-black cave, a petite person cowered and shivered .
Aurora carefully tore open a bag of military use biscuits slowly, stopping after every bit of tearing, worried that the sound might attract enemies . After opening the packaging, she took small bites on the hard biscuits and took her time finishing them .
These sounds actually would not get out of the cave, but she kept Han Xiao's reminder in mind and did not dare to make any noise .
This is already the thirteenth meal, Aurora thought .
The passing of time could not be felt in the cave . She ate as soon as she was hungry and calculated the time based on the number of meals she had .
A pair of bright eyes hid in the shadow, always looking toward the cave entrance .
In the cave, there was only a pile of resources, the sound of breathing and her beating heart, and the wait in complete darkness .
…
A few days later, in the front lines of Stardragon camp on the South Battlefield of Andrea .
The convoy stopped inside the camp, and people waited in boredom .
Diana played with the fire sparks between her fingers for a while, then asked impatiently, "We have waited for twenty-two hours, how much longer are we going to wait?"
"Be patient . Probably not much longer," Han Xiao said with a cigarette in his mouth .
After breaking through the leader's ambush, they went smoothly through the Germinal Organization's territory and came to the Six Nations' territory . Their original destination had been a temporary base on the southern battlefield, but Han Xiao had suddenly requested to stop at this place, saying that he had to wait for someone .
Since they were already safe, the people of the Six Nations did not have any objections . They did not leave because they had a mission, which was to monitor Han Xiao and give the intel to the Six Nations . Since it was a very important matter, the Six Nations had to make sure of it .
At the side, Hila walked back and forth anxiously, continuously glancing at the entrance of the camp .
The soldiers passing by looked at them with admiration . They usually did not have the chance to see so many high ranked people .
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the camp .
Hila stopped in place and looked over nervously .
The guards opened the gate, and man in a hoodie held the hand of a little girl and walked in slowly . The face of the little girl was pale and filled with curiosity . She looked left and right, and when she saw Hila, she could not take her eyes away .
It was Dion and Aurora .
Hila walked forward with wide strides, hugged Aurora tightly in her arms, and only let go when Aurora almost could not catch her breath . She squatted down, touched Aurora's face, and looked at her carefully . Seeing that Aurora was unhurt, she felt relieved immediately . Then she looked at Aurora's pale face and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I will never leave you again . "
Aurora wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and smiled brightly .
The smile seemed to have lit up the entire world .
"I knew you would come to fetch me . "
Seeing that her younger sister was safe, Hila was so relieved that she suddenly felt that the wind was so gentle and the sunlight was so warm .
It was the feeling of freedom .
At the other side, Dion looked for Han Xiao and said, "I didn't disappoint . "
Dion's invisibility ability was most suitable for sneaking into all sorts of dangerous places . He had found Aurora with the coordinates that Han Xiao had given and brought her out . Ever since the ambush for Han Xiao failed, the alert level of the Germinal Organization had dropped tremendously, so they had escaped safely .
"Thanks . " Han Xiao nodded and smiled . "Sorry to let you take the risk, I owe you one for this . "
"Don't have to . You saved me once—count this as my payback . It was not a big deal . " Dion waved his hands . "Compared to you infiltrating the Germinal Organization's headquarters, this is not considered a risk at all . "
Han Xiao chatted for a while and started to get down to business . "Have you prepared the things I asked for?"
"I have already ordered my subordinates to withdraw them from the warehouse according to your request . They will be directly shipped to the Southern Continent . You can get them as soon as you go back there . "
"Okay . I will pay you whatever's needed by then . "
After they chatted for a while, Dion left . Diana said impatiently, "Can we go now?"
"In a bit . " Han Xiao walked toward Hila and Aurora . They were still talking . After he got closer, he heard Aurora ask a question .
"Sis, where do we go now?" Aurora asked with anticipation on her face .
Hila suddenly paused .
That was right; they were free . Where should they go?
They did not have to work for anyone anymore . Where should they go in this big world?
Hila was lost .
"If you have nowhere to go, how about you come with me? My territory is very safe . " Han Xiao walked over .
"With you?" Hila hesitated . She touched Aurora's head .
She wanted to bring her sister to explore the world .
"Your sister was imprisoned for so long; her health is in very bad condition," Han Xiao said . "Even if you want to take her to places, at least her health condition needs to improve first . "
"You're right . " Hila's face tightened . She agreed with Han Xiao's point immediately . The priority now was to improve her younger sister's condition . She felt heartache every time she looked at how weak and skinny Aurora was . Although she still had immeasurable hatred toward the Germinal Organization, she was now focused on her younger sister and did not have any thought of taking revenge . She just wanted to settle down with Aurora first .
She respected her younger sister's opinion and asked Aurora, "What do you think?"
"Sounds great," Aurora replied joyfully . After such a long time being imprisoned, everything in the outside world was new and exciting to her .
Aurora suddenly thought of something . She said to Han Xiao timidly, "Thank you for saving me . "
Han Xiao smiled and did not say anything . He reached out his hands and pinched Aurora's face, and Aurora did not resist .
Hila looked at Han Xiao complicatedly .
Never had she thought that her younger sister would be saved by him . She did not know how she could pay back for something so huge .
We'll follow him for now then…
…
After a few days, they passed through a few camps and came to the temporary base in the southern battlefield . The representatives of the Six Nations gathered in the meeting room and waited for Han Xiao's arrival .
After he settled Hila and Aurora down, the guards led Han Xiao into the meeting room . The focus immediately turned to him as he entered .
The guards closed the gate .
These representatives were mostly strangers . Han Xiao only knew the Stardragon representative—Gu Hui .
"Yo, everyone is here . " Han Xiao greeted casually . He pulled a chair with his leg and sat down casually like he knew everyone .
The people present could not help but size him up . This was the first time that many of them had seen Han Xiao with their own eyes . Thinking of the things that he had done, many felt admiration and fear .
The person in front of them was the one who had provided intel secretly all along . He had used the hostility between the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization, rode along the waves, and become the mastermind behind everything .
People like this were very dangerous .
Furthermore, according to the latest reports, Han Xiao had broken through the power ceiling and should now be the strongest superhuman on the entire planet . From the Six Nations' viewpoint, they definitely feared someone so strong that belonged to another organization .
Dark Net had both Bennett, who was previously the strongest, and Han Xiao, who was now the strongest . They had become a worrying organization no matter how the Six Nations looked at it .
Luckily, the Dark Net had always stayed neutral . At least that was good news .
Gu Hui knocked the table and said seriously, "Han Xiao, we fulfilled our side of the deal . It's now your turn . "
"Come on, don't we know each other? What's with the formal tone?" Han Xiao said jokingly . "We haven't met in a long time . How have you been recently? Have you been promoted? Although it is easier for you to be demoted rather than promoted in your position…"
Veins appeared on Gu Hui's forehead . He knocked the table heavily . "Get! Down! To! Business!"
"Sigh, people nowadays don't even want to chat . All they have in mind is serious talk—business, work, and the future . " Han Xiao shook his head . "Life is about more than that . "
"That's not the point . Why do you have so many things to talk about?" Gu Hui was frustrated .
Please respect the formal occasion!
The representatives of the nations' mouths twitched . Han Xiao gave them a completely different feeling compared to what they had imagined .
Shouldn't the mastermind be ferocious, mysterious, and a man of a few words? What's with the chitchat with the Director-general of Division 13? What kind of mastermind is so friendly?
They could not see through him .
As they talked nonsense, Han Xiao was secretly observing the structure of the room . After he confirmed there was no ambush or bug, he stopped talking nonsense immediately, took out a portable hard drive, connected it to the computer, and showed the image on the big screen in the meeting room .
The secrets of the Germinal Organization were exposed one after another . All of their plans, deployments, military power, and trump cards were exposed .
