We moved to Golden Courtyard

"Do you know why nobody said anything when you beat up that officer just now?"

Xu Qi looked at the girl curiously, waiting for her to continue.

Qiqi pointed and looked in the direction of his finger. He saw a noblewoman whipping a waiter.

"You see, I told you the service here is top-notch, they don't even need to call for help."

……

"Because these kinds of things are all essentially the same, and they are commonplace here—when the gap in status and position is large enough, a person is no longer a person."

Xu Qi frowned. He was about to get up again, but Qi Qi reached out and pulled him back.

"No, no need. Didn't you feel it? He was fawningly begging the other party to lash him a few more times, because it was part of the service. The people here are very generous and give lots of tips."

Xu Qi fell silent.

He understood what Qiqi meant.

The banquet continued, and the decadent atmosphere tempted everyone to indulge in its pleasures, with laughter and song filling the air, creating a peaceful scene.

"As long as the exceptions exist, corruption will continue to breed."

Kiki smiled and nodded, then drew a card and held it up in the light above her head.

"If, as destiny says, there truly exists an omnipotent god in the world, then please tell me... how can I break the deep-seated rigidity of this system?"

Chapter 1096, 1089: This is Dr. Mei's special instruction.

The lavish banquet continued, while on the sea not far from Vanaheim, several dark figures were moving at an extremely fast speed!

Because they were flying at low altitude, the seawater below was dispersed, and if it were daytime, a long white shadow would definitely be visible behind them.

"Signal adjustment complete, no abnormalities... Can everyone hear me?"

"Communication is normal."

"I could too... Tch! I really don't want to wear this thing."

Under the cover of night, three standard exoskeleton armors rapidly approached Vanaheim.

"Qianjie, don't forget tonight's operation."

His tone was cold, yet carried a hint of instruction.

If it were anyone else, given Qianjie's personality, he would probably have taken action immediately, but this one is different... This is Ying.

He still listens to his old comrade-in-arms.

"it is good……"

"Sister Sakura, why does it have to be the standard exoskeleton armor this time? If it were a specially made exoskeleton armor, the effect would be better."

“Seele, our goal is to attack the event itself, not to achieve any significant results. We chose standard armor to avoid identification.”

"understood."

After a brief exchange, the seemingly delicate young girl understood the key points of this night raid.

At the same time, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

It's definitely not because of a mission.

As a pilot for the ground network, she was already used to it, but this time the place she was going to was—Wanaheim…

"Sister Ying, Brother Xu Qi, isn't he right there right now...?"

"Yes, but don't hold back then. Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"Yes, I know. Dr. Mei specifically instructed me on this before we set off."

Sakura nodded and said, "Qianjie, don't be careless either. The garrison in Vanaheim is no longer the same group from Kimberley. They've brought in a new commander."

"Heh! ...Whatever! They're all bugs anyway!"

Sakura frowned slightly, but considering the strength of the three on her side, there was indeed no need to worry too much.

The only thing limiting their strength was this standard exoskeleton armor.

It is inconvenient to use.

"We can already see the island. Let's detach the floating platform and fly over there."

"Roger that!"

"I'm getting more and more curious."

Xu Qi snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Qi Qi beside her with a slight smile.

"You seem so dull and stupid, how could you have such... profound thoughts?"

In the past, or even just before, Kiki would probably have already started yelling – Am I stupid?!

However, now that they've both had a little red wine, in this slightly tipsy state, it seems that such minor offenses are no longer a concern.

She looked at Xu Qi with a teasing expression, like a little fox.

"Are you... trying to probe my secrets?"

His slightly tipsy eyes glanced over, making all the colors before him seem brighter.

Such beauty even made Xu Qi's heart skip a beat.

He'd seen plenty of angelic women, but even so, he couldn't help but be captivated by Qiqi. Before, she maintained an aloof, unapproachable demeanor, yet she still charmed countless people; how much more so now?

"Everyone is curious, but I can choose not to ask."

Seeing Xu Qi's expression, Qi Qi suddenly fell silent.

She stared intently at Xu Qi, as if recalling something or confirming something.

Xu Qi was quite calm; he had no secrets he needed to worry about Qi Qi discovering.

Just as she was about to ask something, an extremely loud explosion suddenly rang out.

Among those present, it seemed that only the couple sitting in the corner did not react to the explosion, even though the surrounding area was filled with panicked screams from both men and women.

Xu Qi squinted and drank the last sip of red wine.

Has it started yet?

Qiqi, on the other hand, was staring at Xu Qi.

Clearly, this place had been attacked, but Kiki herself wasn't afraid. What she wanted to know more was—what would the attacker do?

Xu Qi wiped his mouth, then grabbed Qi Qi and ran away in a panic!

Qiqi suddenly found it very interesting, so she pretended to be scared and screamed loudly.

Xu Qi even pretended to comfort her.

"It's alright, it's alright, just follow me!"

At this very moment, outside the hotel, three exoskeleton armors are indiscriminately unleashing their heavy weapons, primarily targeting floors 25 to 30.

The intention is quite clear – all of them are important guests invited to this European Union summit.

"It's Mesa!"

"Those rebel guys!?"

Inside the three standard exoskeleton armors, also known as Mesa, Seele suddenly noticed that Schicksal's exoskeleton—Gustav—had already been deployed.

"Huh? Those guys at Kimberly are that fast!?"

Sakura said helplessly, "Senju, I've already told you, the commander of Vanaheim is no longer Kimberly!"

"Ha...it's all the same!"

Having said that, he turned around and went to meet them!

"Seele! Follow him and don't let him do anything reckless!"

"Okay, Sakura-neechan." (Seven)

Xu Qi was unaware of what was happening outside, but while everyone else was rushing to the stairs, he took Qi Qi into the elevator.

"You've really taken a big risk with that choice."

“Let’s take a gamble. We’re on the 30th floor, the westernmost part of the building. Running down probably won’t be fast enough. Let’s gamble that the elevator won’t break down before it reaches the first floor.”

Xu Qi was very lucky; the elevator was located in a position that was not attacked by Mesa.

He hadn't informed Sakura beforehand that he would come down from the elevator, and that he wasn't attacked or damaged, partly because the location was rather deep and tricky.

It seems that the design considered the possibility of attacks from the very beginning, and perhaps it was also because...

As soon as Xu Qi ran out of the hotel building, he looked up and saw that three Mesas were already locked in combat with the Destiny Gustav, and there were many of them.

If the commander were the original Kimberly, he would have just woken up in bed by now.

It seems that fate has found a capable person for the European League.

Gustavs were frequently shot down from the sky. Even though they were all equipped with standard armor and had similar performance, the difference in pilot skill was clearly too great.

Kiki looked up with some confusion—Mesa?

"We need to escape to a safe place; we'll get killed by stray bullets here."

People started running out of the hotel building. Among the crowd, Xu Qi spotted Maomao. The two exchanged a glance and then ran away separately.

Qiqi curled up in Xu Qi's arms. She originally thought she would resist this position, but unexpectedly... or rather, not so unexpectedly, she didn't feel anything.

This man must have been bewitched!

As Xu Qi ran, he kept an eye on the three Mesa planes in the sky—they really showed no mercy... The 27th floor was basically destroyed. He wondered who Dr. Mei had sent.

"I'll have to punish her properly next time I see her."

Chapter 1097, Question 1090: Why are you kissing so skillfully?

One second the surroundings exuded an atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery, and the next second it seemed to have become a living hell, filled with flames.

Xu Qi led Qi Qi to a long corridor outside a church, where it should be safe enough.

Because of their running, both of them had a slight blush on their cheeks.

At this moment, Qiqi leaned against the wall, breathing slightly.

The warm glow of the fireworks added a unique touch to her.

Her golden pupils shone brightly, and Xu Qi sensed a sense of majesty and nobility emanating from them, like... a queen walking among mortals.

But Xu Qi quickly dismissed this impression.

So stupid.

"Was it necessary? Running so far away, this attack was entirely your doing, wasn't it?"

The girl knew that Xu Qi was Mafti.

"We orchestrated the attack, but it's still necessary to put on a show. Besides... I see you're enjoying it quite a bit, aren't you?"

Qiqi turned her head away.

What's so enjoyable about it... it's just that I haven't exercised in a long time, so I'm just doing some light activity.

"Now Tianming should completely dispel his doubts about you."

"Perhaps, but the garrison in Vanaheim reacted very quickly... It must be due to that newly appointed commander, Eleanor Shaniat."

"Of course, she is the current head of the Shaniat family, but guess how old she is?"

Xu Qi blinked in confusion.

"27 years old - no young person has ever been able to sit in her current position. She is the current swordswoman of destiny, the symbol of force."

"You seem to know her very well."

Qiqi gave a cold smile.

"These are just official reports from Destiny, but do you know what the public thinks of her?"

Xu Qi awaits the next installment.

"The executioner of destiny, the most vicious hound under the bishop's command, and so on, I will not go into details."

Xu Qi asked with amusement, "Are you sure this evaluation wasn't given to her by those resistance fighters or revolutionaries?"
