The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

[Ashir: My Lord, you've left something at the military headquarters.]

The terminal beeped when the aircraft had traveled less than halfway.

Cen Li frowned in confusion for a moment, then quickly relaxed his brow.

Could the other person be referring to that leather whip?

[Cen Li: You don't need to throw it away.]

[Ashir: My lord, I'll still bring it to you; it's already on its way.]

[Ashel: Please stop ahead for a moment, I'll be right there.]

In the end, Cen Li followed the other party's advice and had the aircraft stop at the nearest docking point.

Cen Li made a video call.

Less than three seconds later, the other party rejected the call.

[Ashel: I'm sorry, my lord, I'm not available to answer right now.]

[Ashel: Just stay where you are, I'll be right there and I'll explain then.]

Cen Li's gaze swept quickly over this information.

Something feels off.

[Cen Li: Do you know where I am right now?]

He stopped at a random spot. How would Ashel know where he was? And how would he find him?

It seemed like something urgent had suddenly come up on the other end, and they didn't reply to Cen Li's messages for quite some time.

Cen Li's hand, which was about to send his real-time location, suddenly stopped.

He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. The area was very desolate, and there were hardly any insects to be seen.

An absurd idea popped into my head.

Cen Li immediately instructed General Derek to check whether Ashel was at the military headquarters.

As a result, I received a positive reply from the other party.

"I just asked his adjutant, and Ashley is training in the training room right now."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard you just went to the military headquarters this morning, why are you suddenly bringing up Ashel again?"

Who is that bug who just messaged him saying they were sending him something?

Cen Li's heart raced slightly. He tried to calm himself and quickly recounted the events to General Derek.

The voice on the other end was very anxious: "Send me your location, and I'll send the bug over right away."

With a "whoosh" sound.

Derek quickly got up, grabbed his military uniform, and walked out, speaking rapidly to the insect beside him.

"Don't get off the aircraft easily. We will come as fast as we can."

"Oh, and don't fly the aircraft anymore."

"Since the other party can hack into the communication system, they must not be an easy opponent. If they use some underhanded methods and the aircraft crashes, it's uncertain whether the bug will survive."

Cen Li silently gave up the idea of ​​taking the aircraft away immediately.

But the thought of sitting idly by and waiting to die made him uneasy.

Cen Li tried to find something to defend himself on the aircraft.

But he failed.

There wasn't even a fruit knife.

It seems that nothing that could threaten the male insect's body is on this aircraft.

Derek and Cen Li had already started a video call. He could see that the other was issuing instructions in an orderly manner, and he could even see that they had assembled their team and were ready to set off.

However, the insect that sent him the message was obviously faster.

[Ashir: I have come, my lord.]

[Ashel: You may open the hatch now.]

Cen Li could see that Admiral Derek had already boarded the warship. He muttered to himself, "He messaged me again."

A knock sounded at the right moment outside the aircraft.

The sounds seemed to strike the very core of the insect's heart.

Derek heard it too, and his face darkened. "Damn it, which audacious insect dares to intercept the male insect's flying machine?"

Cen Li was already asking the system, "Who is that bug outside? Is it carrying any dangerous weapons?"

The system said slowly, "Host, the current plot has deviated from the original storyline."

"According to the rules, I cannot provide you with any additional assistance outside of the main storyline; you will need to explore on your own."

Seeing Cen Li's face growing darker and darker, the system finally had a change of heart and said, "That insect outside is indeed carrying some dangerous items. Their origin is unknown; they all came from the black market."

"The only good news is that there's only one bug outside."

The knocking outside grew louder and louder, and Cen Li gritted his teeth and spoke.

"What kind of good news is this?"

The insects outside look like they're not to be trifled with.

Even if there's only one, I still can't beat it, what should I do?

The system read his thoughts and said, "Then you'd better pray for yourself."

"Uh, it seems the bug outside has already figured out that you know he's an imposter."

The hatch hadn't shown any signs of being opened for so long; even a fool would know that we'd been discovered.

Sure enough, the aircraft began to shake violently a few times.

Cen Li's face darkened. "How long do you think I could last if I went out and fought him?"

The system's compassionate voice rang out, "Host, I advise you not to have such unrealistic ideas."

"The opponent is an S-rank female insect, and she is carrying a very powerful gun."

The materials used in Cen Li's aircraft are the highest standard of materials currently used in civilian aircraft in the empire, making them exceptionally sturdy.

Cen Li didn't know what method the insects outside used, but he could already see that a part of the aircraft had dented inward.

The terminal beeped twice more.

The imposter insect sent another message.

[Ashel: My Lord, why haven't you opened the door yet?]

[Ashel: If you don't open the door soon, I'm afraid I'll have to resort to some special measures. You don't want to end up as a pile of minced meat, do you?]

The insect outside seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust Cen Li, calling him "Master" repeatedly, mimicking Ashel's tone, but the last sentence was so terrifying to the insect.

Cen Li felt his heart start beating abnormally.

He panicked. "System, did he bring explosives?"

"Yes, host." (System)

"So I suggest you surrender now, you might live longer."

Cen Li:......

[Ashel: Would you like to see fireworks?]

[Ashel: The kind that tears flesh apart with a bang.]

[Ashel: I'm only counting down three seconds.]

[Ashel: 3]

[Ashel: 2]

Cen Li didn't dare to gamble, and ultimately chose to open the hatch.

The fact that the other party did not choose to use explosives at the beginning indicates that they did not intend to kill him.

Perhaps, he still has some use to the other party.

If you really piss him off, the outcome might be different.

"You're finally out. I've been waiting for you for so long."

A gentle-looking female insect stood outside the aircraft, wearing a long trench coat, exuding elegance.

She even gave Cen Li a knowing wink.

Of course, if you ignore the long, axe-like weapon in his hand, Cen Li might think this insect is easy to get along with.

Cen Li's gaze shifted downwards.

My gaze fell on the oddly shaped blade.

Was this the aircraft that the other side used to smash it?

Cen Li stared at him warily. "Who are you? What grudge do you have against me? Why are you impersonating Ashel?"

He had no recollection of ever knowing such a female insect.

But the other party was holding a sharp weapon and staring at him menacingly, clearly there to find Cen Li.

Cen Li felt a chill run down his spine.

If it weren't for seeking revenge, Cen Li couldn't think of any other possibility that would make this female insect turn its blade against him.

The gentle-looking female insect smiled.

However, the smile on his face in the current situation sent chills down Chong's spine.

"You have no grudge against me."

"But my employer has a grudge against you, and he paid a lot of money for me to capture you alive."
