"Adela, look, it's so beautiful," Betis said, pointing at the Milky Way ahead.
"Well, with that look of yours, I thought you came out to find Sima Chuan. How did it suddenly turn into a fun outing?" Adela teased.
"She definitely wants to find Sima Chuan and have some fun along the way, right, Betis?"
"Hehe, of course! Yiling knows me best," Betis laughed as she linked arms with Yiling.
"Oh, you guys," Luo Mengqi said with a smile, shaking her head.
"Big Show, aren't you worried about Sima Chuan at all?" Yiling asked, and both Betis and Adela turned to look at Luo Mengqi.
"Of course not," Luo Mengqi replied confidently with a smile. "He's the man I've set my sights on. How could anything happen to him?"
"Then aren't you worried that Sima Chuan might bring back a sister for you?" Yiling asked again.
"If he dares to, when he comes back, I'll make sure he knows how to write 'death,'" Betis said with a fierce expression.
"He will," Adela nodded. "Sima Chuan has that charm; unless he deliberately hides it."
"I had guessed that too; I just don't know what kind of person Sima Chuan will bring back," Luo Mengqi said.
"How about we make a bet?" Betis suggested playfully.
"A bet on what?" Yiling asked with interest, while Adela and Luo Mengqi looked at Betis curiously.
Betis smiled mysteriously and began, "Since we all think Sima Chuan will bring back a sister, let's each guess what kind of sister he will bring this time." Before anyone could respond, she added, "I bet Sima Chuan will definitely bring back someone who looks like a girl."
"It seems quite interesting," Adela said with a smile.
"Then I'll join in on the fun too," Luo Mengqi chimed in.
"I bet that Sima Chuan will bring back someone more ladylike, elegant and all," Adela said with a chuckle.
"I bet Sima Chuan will bring back someone with a personality similar to mine," Luo Mengqi asserted confidently.
"Huh?" The three women looked at Luo Mengqi with surprise, trying to figure out where her confidence came from.
"Alright, alright, since you all are betting, we need to decide on a wager," Yiling interjected from the side.
"Betis, what should the wager be?" Adela asked.
"Hehe, if anyone wins, they get to spend an entire month alone with Sima Chuan. The loser can only watch from the sidelines. How does that sound?" Betis looked at Adela and Luo Mengqi.
"What if Sima Chuan really brings back a sister?" Luo Mengqi asked.
"The loser will have to spend more time keeping the new sister occupied," Betis replied.
"I have no objections," Luo Mengqi said nonchalantly.
"Okay, I have no objections either," Adela agreed after glancing at Luo Mengqi and Betis.
"Then it's settled!" Betis exclaimed, excitedly circling around Adela and the others twice.
Xin Rui was watching Adela and the others from a distance. Hearing the conversation among Betis and the girls, she couldn't help but sigh, "These girls!" Then she turned to the Virtual Screen in front of her and asked, "Noel Battleship, how do you feel right now?"
After a while, the heavy mechanical voice of the Noel Battleship finally echoed, "If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have refused Sima Chuan's request to grant Luo Mengqi and Qiong access from the start."
"By the way, where is Sima Chuan now?"
"I'm sorry, Sinrich, even though we are teammates, everything about Sima Chuan is confidential. I can't disclose any information to you."
"Alright, we'll meet sooner or later anyway," Xin Rui replied with a smile.
Not long after dawn, Sima Chuan returned to Sagara Town with Annie. Upon arriving, he immediately joined up with Barnett and the others because he had spotted an unknown force lurking in the town.
"Captain, have you discovered anything in the town?" Sima Chuan asked cautiously after ensuring their surroundings were safe.
"This morning, a group of unknown individuals arrived in the town, but we don't know what they are here for," Barnett responded.
"Should we take them out first?" Alger suggested eagerly.
Barnett slapped the back of Alger's head, nearly causing him to stumble. "Captain, what's wrong?" Alger asked in confusion.
"Do you still dare to play dumb with me?" Barnett raised his hand as if to strike again.
"I get it, I get it," Alger quickly retreated. "Captain, if you want to eliminate this person, you must first understand everything about them. Otherwise, the consequences could be severe."
"Just remember that," Barnett nodded.
Before long, Qiong returned, scanning the area cautiously before reporting, "Captain, that unknown force is just a group of mercenaries. Someone has offered them Five Thousand Gold to wait here for a person named Sardana. When that Sardana arrives, they plan to do everything possible to eliminate him while creating chaos in the town."
"I never expected that person would be so generous," Alger sighed and shook his head.
The price of Five Thousand Gold in this era could allow an ordinary person to live a life free from worry.
"They're trying to test whether we're here or not. Then let's play along," Barnett said, turning to Joan. "Joan, can you create Clones that exceed the power of this era, and can they also transform into something like Mechanical Warriors? Is that possible?"
"Yes," Joan replied confidently.
"Good. Sima Chuan."
"Here, Captain."
"You and Annie will continue to pretend to be local residents, occasionally wandering around as if you're on your honeymoon," Barnett instructed.
"Understood, Captain."
"And what about me, Captain?" Alger looked at Barnett with eager anticipation.
Barnett smiled and said, "You will keep monitoring this town."
"Huh? Oh!" Alger was initially surprised but then became disappointed and dejected. "I really have a hard lot in life."
"Enough of that," Barnett chuckled lightly. "Once this is all over, I'll give you a long vacation."
"Really?" Alger felt as if he had fallen into hell only to return to paradise.
"Of course. When have I ever gone back on my word?"
"Never," Alger said with a bright smile, shaking his head.
"Alright. Everyone, get back to work," Barnett said, stretching lazily. "I should go for a walk too; otherwise, I might rust."
Somewhere in Debacas Town.
A young-looking, somewhat frail man sat at the head of the conference room. He glanced over the people below and said, "Since the establishment of our Alliance, we have faced several failures. Now we have discovered a massive force that we know nothing about, pushing this world towards chaos. According to the intelligence we've gathered, the current military is no longer controlled by capitalists; it is now in the hands of ambitious individuals. Everything has been thrown into disarray, but we still need to proceed with our plans to go to Sagara Town."
"Sardana, this is a critical time; you absolutely cannot take any risks. Therefore, I cannot allow you to go to Sagara Town," an elder stood up to object as soon as Sardana finished speaking.
Sardana smiled lightly and replied, "I'm not going for the Alliance's sake; I just need to verify something. If this matter turns out to be true, then our Alliance's future development will head in a positive direction, and perhaps the chaotic times will come to an end soon."
"Sardana, what is so important that you must go personally?" a middle-aged man asked Sardana.
"It's nothing much; just something I need to know myself. The more people who know about it, the more dangerous it becomes."
"Well..." Sardana interrupted everyone who was about to speak. "This matter is settled. If anyone has objections, I can gladly pass my position to them." After saying this, Sardana left without looking back, leaving behind a group of silent high-ranking members of the Alliance and a shabby conference room, along with the occasional cold breeze that blew through.
