"It's clearly summer vacation, yet it feels so miserable." Thinking back to the days when she eagerly awaited the summer break, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness at how bitter this summer had turned out.
Remembering the annoyed expression of Girl on the other end of the hung-up call made Yang Xiaoyou feel a bit embarrassed. Although she was now in the same city as them, she had no choice but to find an excuse to decline their invitation.
At this point, she was indeed drifting further away from her original intentions. Once the gears started turning, it became impossible to steer them solely according to her will. Even though she had already let go of quite a bit, her own time was dwindling away.
The best she could do was to protect those she needed to guard and stabilize her original life.
The feeling of losing everything, even if it was just a memory, was something she absolutely would not allow to happen again—not even once!
After hanging up the phone, Heart stirred with an inexplicable emotion, and a hint of sentiment appeared in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes.
Now, she had to continue moving forward. In the past, Hive Security Company had merely been a tool for creating trouble for organizations—a pawn discarded once exposed.
But now, as she had told Charming Shadow, Hive Security Company had become a cohesive entity. She felt obligated to lead its members toward success.
Thanks to her accumulated memories and foresight over the years, she had overcome one obstacle after another and achieved her current success.
"Seven major Blackwater Security Company?" After a self-deprecating smile, Yang Xiaoyou sighed and took out the jade pendant from her pocket, idly playing with it between her fingers.
The method that startled everyone in the hall was simply a basic technique. Although it was just a preliminary attempt, its effectiveness still fell short compared to a direct attack.
Even so, using her own momentum to draw upon the power within the jade Buddha required almost no personal consumption. The range and effect could be amplified depending on the quality of those artifacts.
It was a decent start; expecting immediate success right from the beginning was clearly unrealistic.
Cutting off the sensory feedback from the Human Body to the brain induced a brief state of blankness. It even had a significant impact on powerful individuals nearing the threshold of strength.
Uh, since things were still relatively scattered at this point, achieving concentrated attacks would require sufficient practice and effort to influence opponents of similar strength like a mental dagger.
"Hey? That jade pendant is nice; give it to me." Just as Yang Xiaoyou was lost in thought, a clear voice rang out beside her, followed by a delicate hand reaching for the pendant in her grasp.
However, with a slight twist of her fingers, Yang Xiaoyou pulled the pendant away just in time, leaving the hand grasping at nothing.
However, it was originally a surprise for Fia, who had been playing games with Dream Butterfly. At some point, she accidentally touched her Beside, and when she missed the grasp, she couldn't help but puff out her cheeks. The cute growl from her throat sounded like an angry lion.
"You're such a brat."
"I'm sorry about the jade pendant given by my elder." After putting away the pendant, Yang Xiaoyou said without much pressure. Even after he had neutralized it last time, this jade pendant could still exert powerful effects.
Moreover, Yang Xiaoyou even discovered that it could slowly absorb the surrounding 'qi' to restore itself.
In this situation, he occasionally took it out to play with it, allowing it to passively absorb some of his own momentum, hoping to restore it to its former state.
It wasn't that he didn't want to actively infuse it; he was mainly afraid of scattering the already somewhat weakened original force. His two streams of momentum couldn't achieve that kind of focused tranquility. Just thinking about carrying a jade pendant with an ominous Destruction aura and potentially rebelling at a critical moment seemed rather absurd.
As for Fia's interest in such things, Yang Xiaoyou naturally understood. After all, she had reached this level through other means and had a keen eye.
In the British Museum, there were plenty of similar 'antiques', some even originating from China.
Although Yang Xiaoyou himself didn't particularly enjoy reminiscing about the past, his exceptional associative thinking automatically recalled some history, leaving him feeling somewhat troubled.
He thought about seizing everything there at once. After grumbling a bit, he looked up again at the princess, who seemed to be plotting something.
Still undeterred, Fia had no idea how much disaster her sudden interest would bring to her country's royal museum in the future.
"Are there any more of these jade pendants? Or anything else would do! Where's your elder? I'd like to pay a visit if I get the chance." After her eyes darted around playfully, Fia cheerfully suggested, shifting her focus onto the creator of the jade pendant.
Undoubtedly, even though this particular jade pendant had weakened considerably due to the previous incident, in Fia's eyes, a living person capable of crafting such a pendant was far more valuable than this inanimate object.
Upon hearing her mention Yuan Fangzi, a hint of gloom appeared in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes.
During his exchanges with Old Master Feng, he learned that although there had been no news of Yuan Fangzi's death, he had disappeared after visiting his last old friend and had not been in contact with the outside world since then.
Given his physical condition, he was likely already gone.
Thinking about how he had no familial ties to the man, only having given him the jade pendant simply because he found it pleasing, he felt a twinge of regret. The pendant had helped him out of a predicament once while in the United Arab Emirates, and now he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
On the other side, Fia seemed to have picked up on this sentiment as well; her smile faltered slightly before she quickly changed the subject, avoiding any further discussion on the matter.
"You can't just detain someone like this. The market in the Chinese Empire is too valuable to give up. You're trying to drag me into this mess on purpose, aren't you?" After hearing the specifics from Yang Xiaoyou, Fia's previously cheerful demeanor darkened.
Because she hadn't gone to check on things herself, she found herself in this passive situation. Just when she wanted to use Hive Security Company to shake off the Red Dragon's entanglement, they had escalated matters by directly detaining someone.
In this scenario, even if Hli wanted to distance himself from it all, it would be impossible.
"Uh, I..." After a moment of complaining, Fia paused and looked at Yang Xiaoyou with a strange expression. "You guys aren't planning to take advantage of this situation to bring down the Red Dragon and fill their gap in the international market, are you?"
"Why are you asking me about Rolo? I don't know anything about the tasks from above," Yang Xiaoyou replied, surprised by Fia's keen insight.
Just then, Red Dragon Security, which had been waiting for a long time, finally took action. Heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway—there was no attempt to conceal or amplify the sound; it was a straightforward approach from the front.
Exhausted and feeling like a dog... At least there was still one more... I don't know if I can complete the task later. Sigh. I'll do my best. (Your support is my greatest motivation.)
