Chapter 159

Shi Lang and Jenkins carried the injured lieutenant to the queen’s residence in the palace. Darcx followed them in silence. The residence was the highest guarded place in the whole palace. It was set up in the eastern wing of the palace and had only one purpose, which was to house the queen or the king of the empire.

The palace guards that were escorting the three of them marveled and thought about why the injured person did not lose any blood. Darcx asked, “What do you plan to do with him?”

Shi Lang did not reply right away, Jenkins looked at the back of the young man walking in front of him. He has never seen him so quiet. It reminded him of the time when Shi Lang had challenged him in the school battle, no, it was something even worse.

“This guy attacked me, then humiliated the homeland. Then he dared to sabotage the alliance. I will have him cough up all that he knows. I will not spare him.”, said Shi Lang in a calm cold voice.

Jenkins could sense the cold, it sent a shiver down his spine. Darcx wanted to say something but Jenkins glared him off. This guy was a goof usually but even now he was trying to sympathize with the enemy. This was a suicidal behavior.

Shi Lang said, “If anyone came in between my mission, I will sure ask them for the good reason they have in their minds.”

Darcx finally understood the intensity of the situation. He nodded and silently followed.

…

Rosa was walking with Quinn, Amelia, and Ameris with a tense expression on her face. Quinn asked, “Instructor, what is bothering you?”

She looked at Ameris for a moment and thinking that they will be working together in the long run, she said, “Ace had been trained at the camo from where no one comes out in the pristine condition. The camp leaves marks on their minds and these marks resurface from time to time. During the battle with Captain Ameris, he almost lost control and made a critical move. This interrogation is not going to be a clean one.”

Quinn nodded and Amelia frowned, Ameris shivered slightly. She asked, “What do you mean by the critical move and almost lost control.”

Amelia replied, “Critical move, can severely injure an opponent or even kill them while losing control means, their mental state. During his battle with you, Ace had entered a state of mind where he would kill anyone he will see.”

Her voice was calm but her eyes were brimming with worry and anxiety. Quinn said, “Calm down, he has it under control. You also know that he is not ordinary.”

Amelia nodded and they came to their room to take their stuff. Zysha also followed Amelia. She wanted to know what was going on, and she would only talk to Shi Lang. The tigress followed them through the palace with her elegant walk.

…

Shi Lang stood beside the unconscious lieutenant. He was closing the wound on his chest after removing the sword stuck inside. His actions were crisp and clear. The sounds were providing him with a complete three-dimensional model of the body structure in his mind. Jenkins and Darcx were watching him work from the side.

They could not believe what Shi Lang was capable of and asked, “Where did you learn all this?”

The reply was, “Camp Ragnarok.”

This shocked the two guys and even scared them to take a few steps back. Shi Lang was unbothered by it. He finished his work and walked to the side to dump the gloves on his hands. Amelia and the rest had already come by and now they were waiting outside this room. Shi Lang said, “The Neomonians have a medicine that can heal him back to ninety percent. Let them use it and then we will begin.”

After injecting the medicine into Shunt’s body, the three guys left the room. Amelia stood up and came to Shi Lang. The guy smiled slightly and caressed her face with the back of his palm. Amelia hugged him gently and said, “Do not lose control, okay?”

Shi Lang patted her back gently and said, “Yes do not worry.”

The group began to prepare the questions they needed to ask, and Quinn even suggested that she can take possession of the guy and copy his memories, but Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I want to see everything, having his memories will not be able to do that. There could be a lot of things that you might miss. Second, he should suffer for calling our home a hole.”

Rosa nodded and said, “You have our support, but do not overdo it.”

At this moment, Nexalia walked into the room. The people nodded to her in greeting and Quinn asked, “Your Majesty, how can we help you?”

Nexalia shook her head and said, “I would like you to please get me names. I want all those involved in this incident, need to vanish.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Please increase surveillance of the royal branches. Anyone who tries to leave the city must be logged and monitored through the satellites. This way you can save human resources. Also, even if the Intelligence bureau is controlled by someone else, you still have some hackers right? Have them leech-off.”

Nexalia asked, “Leech-off?”

Amelia said, “A term used for someone with parasitic behavior.”

Nexalia Neytiri sighed and said, “The resources I have at my disposal are the medicinal and transportation goods.”

Rosa sighed and said, “Your majesty, please find me all the books and knowledge that you can to read. The books must be based on the computer science of your empire. Also, please get me, someone, to teach me how to read and write in your language.”

Nexalia nodded and she said, “You can do all this at the secret base. Ameris will teach you how to read and write. Is that okay?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Let us depart. I would like to be the first one to meet our ‘informant.'”
