We moved to Golden Courtyard

Qianjie also sensed the troops. He immediately turned around and drew his lightsaber, which collided with the armored vehicle that looked like a big white goose!

But Mesa is Mesa after all, a standard armored vehicle whose output limits everything.

Qian Jie was blasted back to the ground from the air!

After doing all this, the big white goose prepared to look for the other two Mesa planes, only to find that they had already run away...

They were really decisive in betraying their teammates.

……

The Mesa, controlled by Qianjie, landed right in front of Xu Qi and Qiqi.

Xu Qi frowned and was about to step forward when Qi Qi grabbed his wrist.

The two exchanged a glance, and Qiqi subtly shook her head.

A giant white goose descended from the sky; it was an ultra-heavy exoskeleton armor at least three people tall. It pressed the Magnum in its hand against Mesa's chest, and a voice came from it.

"Surrender now, and you will be spared the death penalty."

Female driver?

Is it Eleanor Shaniat?

The sounds of fierce fighting ceased, and the scene became quiet.

Soldiers from all sides surged in, and surrounded by them, a blonde beauty in military uniform walked slowly towards them.

"Huh? A commoner?"

Without any apparent reason, Xu Qi learned the other person's name—Eleanor Shaniat.

At this moment, Qiqi buried herself deeply in Xu Qi's arms, looking quite frightened.

"My name is Xu Qi, and I am a survivor of this morning's hijacking."

Eleanor suddenly realized, and at the same time, she also had some impression of the name Xu Qi—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a great contributor, and also a true nobleman.

He is the younger brother of Eden, the "Golden One".

As Eleanor approached, the growing pressure emanating from her made Xu Qi realize that she was a female warrior...

He had only ever felt that same quality in Durandal.

The white robe behind her was untied, and Eleanor covered Qiqi, who was in Xu Qi's arms, with it.

"Sorry we're late."

At that moment, the exoskeleton armor hatch, which resembled a large white goose, opened, and a beautiful figure leaped out. She had the same beautiful white hair as Kiki.

However, instead of letting her hair fall loose, she tied it into a braid at the back.

The other person jogged up to Eleanor and saluted.

"Kalen Kaslana reporting for duty! Colonel Eleanor!"

Chapter 1099, Section 1092: I still have to thank Karen.

Kallen...Kaslana!?

Xu Qi frowned subconsciously, while Qi Qi in his arms hugged him even tighter, as if she was really frightened by the scene in front of her.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more skilled she is—this is absolutely true, even for a naive girl like Qiqi.

But Xu Qi was undoubtedly more concerned about the driver of the big white goose.

The name Kallen isn't particularly noteworthy, but Kaslana...

Kiana's surname is Kaslana.

"Thank you for your help, Captain Karen. I didn't expect you to do me such a big favor so soon after you arrived tonight."

"It was nothing, Colonel!"

"Return to the team."

"Yes!"

Karen turned and ran away, but as she left, she glanced at Xu Qi, who was holding Qi Qi in her arms.

For some reason, she felt a certain attraction to this man.

At this moment, Mesa's hatch was also opened, and Qianjie's hands were pinned behind his back, ready to be transported to the prison van.

Beneath the mask, his gaze swept over Xu Qi before he was calmly carried away by fate.

"That must be Mafty's pilot... I didn't expect them to actually dare to attack Vanaheim. I have to admire their courage."

Xu Qi looked at the Mesa.

This is the standard armor of the resistance. It seems that Dr. Mei has already made contact with Char.

Eleanor glanced at Qiqi, who was still clinging tightly to Xu Qi, and her expression was somewhat amused.

"It seems that Mr. Xu Qi has turned misfortune into blessing tonight."

Xu Qi revealed a knowing smile, but his gaze was involuntarily drawn to Karen, who had climbed back onto the white goose in the distance. Her mental strength... was very strong!

"Hmm? Ah~~ That's Karen Kaslana, a rising star of Schicksal, but even if she shines brightly, she still hasn't escaped the category of a newcomer."

That exoskeleton armor, RX-105, Penelope, we also call them—Gundam.

“Gundam?”

"This is the collective name for this batch of ultra-high-performance exoskeleton armors. Penelope can be said to be the culmination of Destiny Technology, but it's being piloted by Karen..."

I always felt she didn't fully utilize the armor's capabilities; perhaps I was being too harsh.

At this point, Eleanor seemed to remember something.

"Mr. Xu Qi was also an exoskeleton armor pilot before, right? I heard that you piloted a high-output armor and stopped a subway train that had lost its braking ability."

Xu Qi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was slightly startled.

Putting aside how excellent Destiny's intelligence network is, the fact that this woman could recite her resume so readily...

The Mandate of Heaven is truly a place where hidden talents abound.

"If Penelope were to be piloted by you, it would probably be able to unleash its full potential."

Xu Qi's expression hardened!

What does it mean when the other person says that?

Xu Qi seemed unsure of what to do.

This Eleanor Shaniat was clearly different from the usual Schicksal investigators. She wasn't a Newtype, but she seemed to have eyes that could see right through people.

Shaniat...

Anna's surname is also Shaniat.

Are all the people in this family perverts?

"You overestimate me. I just heard a sonic boom. The power output of this Penelope is probably beyond my imagination; it's not something I can handle."

"Mr. Xu Qi is being modest."

Eleanor called in a military pickup truck.

"Take Mr. Xu Qi and Ms. Qi Qi to a safe place to rest—please take care and we'll see you tomorrow morning."

……

Inside the car, Xu Qi half-embraced Qi Qi, who was lying in his arms, looking frightened, which aroused people's protective instincts.

But Xu Qi knew that it was all just a disguise on the other party's part.

The female officer named Eleanor put a lot of pressure on Kiki.

It wasn't until the car reached its destination and the two got out that Qiqi gradually returned to normal.

“You seem a little scared of that officer named Eleanor.”

“It’s not fear, it’s caution… You haven’t been in Europe for long and haven’t had any contact with her. I told you, she’s the worst kind of hound.”

It seems that appearances can be deceiving.

"Don't worry about your friend, he should be fine. If I hadn't stopped you just now, we would both have been in danger."

A thousand tribulations...

Xu Qi smiled.

"Yes, of course he'll be fine."

Qiqi suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Qi, and then her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Mavty is a truly amazing organization, but what can he do all by himself? Without exoskeletons, even the Newtypes aren't much more powerful than ordinary people."

Besides, you've probably sensed it too, right? That girl named Kallen Kaslana, she's also a Newtype, and a very strong one at that.

"No need to worry about that. But you, aren't you afraid we're being watched right now?"

“Eleanor wouldn’t do something so pointless.”

Xu Qi shrugged noncommittally.

The hotel that fate had arranged for them to stay was another hotel. After checking in at the front desk, Xu Qi said to Qi Qi, "You go upstairs first, I'm going out for a bit."

Are you sure you want to go out at this time?

"I'm going to find my kitten."

Qiqi understood.

However, as soon as Xu Qi stepped out of the lobby, two agents from Destiny appeared before him, subtly indicating that he could not leave the hotel that night.

"What about my friends?"

"The guests affected by the attack tonight will be accommodated at this hotel. If we find Miss Paddo, we will definitely bring her here safely."

Xu Qi looked displeased and then said, "Since you put it that way, can't I wait in the lobby for a while?"

"This is your freedom, Mr. Xu Qi."

Now you want to talk to me about freedom?

However, Xu Qi also knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to leave this hotel tonight, and what he did just now was just an act.

It would be strange if I didn't care about Pado's whereabouts and safety at all.

Even if he's not being monitored, it doesn't mean Xu Qi's performance tonight won't be reported and sent to Colonel Eleanor's desk.

She was a very perceptive woman.

While waiting in the hotel lobby, many more people were brought in one after another.

The night raid is over; all that's left is the rescue effort. Tianming needs to reassure these European Union delegates as soon as possible to prevent them from being unable to attend the meeting.

However, to Xu Qi's slight surprise, he didn't see Pado, but instead encountered another unexpected person.

"You are...the person who was next to Commander Eleanor just now?"

As she entered, Karen Kaslana immediately spotted Xu Qi sitting on the sofa in the lobby. After a moment's hesitation, she didn't choose to ignore him and leave, but instead came over to greet him.

Xu Qi was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to remember him.

However... this is exactly what I wanted.

"Hello, Miss Kaslana, my name is Xu Qi. Thank you for your heroic performance tonight."

Ironically, I have to thank her!

"No need, just call me Karen. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xu Qi."

Chapter 1100, Question 1093: Are all the people in the Kaslana family like this?

The pure white uniform, with the Destiny's iconic gold-edged badge embroidered on the chest, was quite eye-catching for men. Was there something wrong with Destiny's uniform?

However, what surprised Xu Qi a little was the girl's beautiful face with a touch of heroism.

Karen Kaslana was a beauty.

For some reason, seeing her blinking in front of him, Xu Qi always felt—was this child a little not very smart?

Especially the large braid that swung behind her as she walked over.
