The person who just took the frame said they would quickly provide a response regarding it. So, William and Rims sat in the café of the External Intelligence Bureau, sipping coffee and waiting. Perhaps the scientists would finish with the frame and decide it was useless, returning it after all.
Though the likelihood was slim, what if? Holding onto this thought, they sat in silence for a long time, yet no news came their way. Anthony, ostensibly accompanying his subordinates in waiting, was actually discreetly using his phone to access Hacker Prologue, monitoring this intriguing meeting.
As for the frame being returned? Ha! Anthony had never entertained such an idea; his two subordinates simply hadn’t experienced enough yet. After a few years of grappling with society, they would understand that once something like this was taken, it was destined never to be returned. Of course, this knowledge had been bestowed upon him by Xu Lie when the company created him; he grasped it immediately without needing to endure the harsh lessons of life.
Ah, thanks to Xu Lie. Just as Anthony finished his silent prayer, the door to the lounge swung open: "You’ve been temporarily reassigned."
William, who had been waiting anxiously, jumped up, thinking perhaps the frame would be returned after all. But upon hearing about the reassignment, confusion washed over him. What? They were being borrowed from their division to headquarters?
The External Agent who had taken the frame earlier seemed hurried: "Breaking news! The Great Federation's Sherwood District has announced its secession from the Great Federation. Each department needs time to redeploy personnel, so we need you elite investigators to infiltrate the Great Federation's Sherwood District to gather intelligence."
Anthony hadn’t anticipated that merely delivering a frame would lead to such a mission behind enemy lines. William and Rims were stunned by the intelligence regarding the Sherwood District’s secession; they didn’t know what to say—was this some kind of joke?
As they contemplated how to communicate with headquarters afterward, the agent was already eager to leave. He needed to connect via internet phone with a nearby division close to the Great Federation's Sherwood District for infiltration; there was no time to waste.
"Wait a moment!" William called out as he hurried after him. "What about the frame? The one you took?"
The External Agent paused in confusion. "What frame?"
Oh! It quickly dawned on him—it was that frame left behind by Xu Lie, who had already been captured by Alien Life.
The item was taken to the conference room without any big shots demanding to see it. They were either arguing about whether it was war or compromise, or they had reached a consensus to take action against the Great Federation, Sherwood District. The picture frame had been tossed aside in the conference room.
At that moment, there was no time to deal with William, so he brushed him off, claiming that higher-ups had requested the External Intelligence Bureau to keep it and wouldn’t return it. Without looking back, he left.
William felt a sense of despair; losing the picture frame of his idol drained him of strength. Rims was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and unable to settle down, with one problem after another piling up. Fack, infiltrating the Great Federation, Sherwood District? It sounded easy, but how dangerous would it be to hide behind enemy lines? Maybe it was better to run away?
Anthony, however, didn’t dwell on it: “Let’s go. This is a mission; we can’t refuse.”
First, they needed to leave this place and then find a moment when William and Rims wouldn’t notice to contact Xu Lie. If he could get through to Xu Lie about the Great Federation, Sherwood District, then great; if not, they would just slip away halfway.
Anthony didn’t need to hesitate at all.
