Commander Rada’s hearty laughter echoed from the headquarters building, causing onlookers to glance over.
To him, it was indeed laughable. A group of inexperienced youngsters had run up to him, boldly claiming to have found the thief in the artifact storage room and pointing to a small island where the culprit was hiding.
How could this not be laughable?
Just think about how many professional source mages teams he had dispatched to investigate this case? They had no clue, and yet these youthful individuals, without a word, found the location of the artifact?
Courage is commendable, and the young ones are full of vitality.
But he allowed himself to laugh a little longer.
Feiyuan frowned, “Does Commander Rada not believe it?”
Commander Rada chuckled, “Believe it! Why wouldn’t I? I’m curious, how did you cacross this information? Tell me, if it’s something like ‘I feel,’ there’s no need to speak, just jump out the window yourself!”
Feiyuan said, “Firstly, the reasons for suspecting the thief is the ‘Earth-Scraper Armor’: Two years ago, our team took over the investigation of the Unwise Sage. By chance, we found the original hiding place of the Earth-Scraper Armor…”
Pointing to a spot on the map, “It’s here, but now this island has disappeared, the whole island has been moved!”
Commander Rada raised an eyebrow, with a doubtful expression, but did not interrupt Feiyuan’s explanation.
“We did not initially link the disappearance of the island to the Earth-Scraper Armor, but soon the headquarters’ artifact storage room was emptied, which remindedof the Qingchang Factory disappearance seven years ago. These three events share a common trait: the ability to move large objects silently.”
“The Earth-Scraper Armor is speculated to possess spatial relocation abilities. To confirm this, I obtained authorization from the association and spent half a year searching through their archives.”
“In the end, only three individuals could achieve this feat: the Earth-Scraper Armor, the association’s first-row thirty-seventh source artifact ‘Random Door,’ and the mysterious disaster three years ago, named ‘Labyrinth World,’ resolved by the Lucky Star team but with the loss of the artifact, reportedly shifting to an unknown location after the disaster was resolved.”
“Taking all these factors into account, the Earth-Scraper Armor has the highest probability of being the active thief.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCommander Rada put away his casual smile, “Interesting, continue!”
Feiyuan continued, “Secondly, the Earth-Scraper Armor being a member of the Radiance Society, my reasons are as follows: the most obvious is the society’s extremely powerful mobility, appearing and disappearing at will! In my opinion, this is not merely speed, but leaving through spatial ability transfer.”
Still as previously stated, among the information I know, the only ones who can achieve this are the Any Door and the Skin-Scratching Armor, and the Any Door is in possession of the Skin-Scratching Armor.
Furthermore, I searched through many top-secret documents related to the royal family in recent years, and I happened to cacross a record, a female detainee in the Luo King’s Mansion said she saw a giant crystal armored giant enter the basement.
Unfortunately, these women have already been ‘silenced’ through ‘suicide’, but based on the description, it matches the Skin-Scratching Armor.
In fact, more than three years ago, not only the morning king was killed, but also a overlooked Luo king disappeared mysteriously after leaving a place called Huai Shui Town. This is another matter and not mentioned here.
However, it can be seen from here that the Skin-Scratching Armor and the royal family have deep contradictions, and their actions have similar goals with the Radiant Society.
In conclusion, there is more than a 50% chance that the Skin-Scratching Armor is a member of the Radiant Society!”
The president frowned and said, “How did you have the authority to access that information?”
Feiyuan calmly replied, “It’s simple. You are the most powerful person in the Heng Xuan District. I said I am your illegitimate son, then I forged a lot of ‘evidence’ and gained access to the reading permission.”
The president, Dala, burst out laughing suddenly! It was inexplicable that he had a sudden illegitimate son, he almost couldn’t catch his breath in one breath.
With Feiyuan’s words, he really noticed that both of them had curly hair…
Feiyuan continued, “This is just a means to achieve the goal, and I have checked the rules of the Source Master and the laws of the Union Council in advance. This is considered a violation of regulations but not illegal, so you don’t have to worry.
And, this is not the point. The point is, I have found sufficient evidence to speculate that the Skin-Scratching Armor is a member of the Radiant Society.”
President Dala’s face stiffened as he looked at the curly-haired young man in front of him talk confidently, holding back the impulse to punch him away, he took a deep drag of his pipe, exhaled deeply, with a squeezing sound from his teeth: “What else? How do you know that the Source Instrument is on this island?”
Feiyuan showed no signs of backing down even though the president’s expression becextremely ugly, instead, he smiled confidently and said, “Lastly, I spent the longest tconfirming the hiding place of the Source Instrument along with the Skin-Scratching Armor.
President, in the auditorium of every city-level Mage Association, there is a machine called the ‘Disaster Balancer’ that can locate various disasters, right?
Of course, I know this is a secret of the association, I just happened to see it in various documents, and President, you can rest assured, I won’t reveal it.
After operating that machine, I discovered its usage…”
President Dala interrupted, “Did you also borrow it under the guise of being my illegitimate son?”
Feiyuan nodded, “Of course, worthy of being the president. Once I said I am your son, they immediately believed it!”
Dala almost bit his pipe into pieces, the sound of teeth gnawing cthrough.
Feiyuan continued, “That’s not the point. The point is, through the operation of the Disaster Balancer, I was able to calculate the location of the Source Instrument.”
Dala said with half belief, “I am more familiar with that thing than you are. It is just something to determine the location of disasters, not very useful. How did you figure it out?”
Feiyuan responded, “It’s simple! From the information, I learned that the machine also reacts to the Source Instrument. I speculated that there are over two thousand Source Instruments concentrated together, which can definitely interfere with the operation of the Disaster Balancer. My tests later proved this point.
So, I eliminated the effects of all disasters on the balancer, found that minimal interference, then traveled all over the cities with the balancer, recorded the corresponding interference data, used cross-location method to determine 105 locations.
After eliminating them one by one, I locked onto this island. Therefore, I’m sure, the Source Instruments are here.”
Dala slammed his desk with a palm, “You little rascal! Even if you were my son, you can’t act so recklessly!”
Xiangli and her teammates were startled and almost jumped up in fear.
But Feiyuan pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, “This is the ‘your son’ certificate I forged. If you don’t want to use it, that’s fine byin the future.”
Dala snatched the crumpled paper, tore it up without even looking at it.
“Feiyuan whispered, ‘I can continue to fake it.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRada, on the other hand, loudly exclaimed, ‘Need to fake it? Tomorrow, I will publicly announce that you are my godson. Do whatever you want!’
Xiangli and Feiyuan and others were stunned.
What’s going on here? A fabricated thing just for convenience has unexpectedly been inexplicably acknowledged as a father?
Rada had no sons or daughters, but the more he looked at Feiyuan, the more pleasing he found this kid. Since his ‘father’ reputation had spread everywhere, he might as well acknowledge it! It’s just a godson, no big deal!
Indeed, he was acting recklessly, doing whatever he wanted, all because he was practically the big boss of the Hengxuan District.
“Ha ha ha!”
Rada stood up, tightened his coat and stared at Feiyuan, saying, ‘Godson! What’s your name?’
Feiyuan’s face rarely blushed, hesitantly said, ‘I… I am called Feiyuan!’
Xiangli and the other teammates were dumbfounded. What kind of operation is this? What speed is this? What unfolding is this?
Isn’t recognizing a son too hasty?
Rada went up and patted Feiyuan’s shoulder, laughing, ‘Feiyuan, right! I remember, I like you guys who love to stir things up. Go ahead and freely use your father’s nto do what you want! Ha ha ha!’
Feiyuan blushed, a usually calm and composed young man now looked very shy and at a loss. Before coming here, he had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected to end up acknowledging a godfather.
But he did not forget the purpose of his visit: ‘What are your plans next? Are you going to directly take back the Source Vessel from that small island?’
Rada showed a fierce grin, ‘Of course, we’ll reclaim it, and openly at that! I want to personally crush the Shining Association, make them collapse, and let them willingly return the Source Vessel to me. Ha ha ha!’
Rada laughed madly, clenched his fists slowly, making cracking sounds, ‘Whoever he is, daring to steal my things is dead! Originally, I planned to let the Shining Association bother the royal family for a few more years, to make those remnants settle down for a while! But now they’ve provoked me, so I’m going to kill them all!
He was fierce. The Shining Association madelose face! I must personally take it back.’
Xiangli and others huddled together, trembling with intimidation by Rada’s momentum, but they never doubted that Rada could achieve this.
Because, in their legends, Rada would always prevail, almost considered the most powerful man!
No one could withstand a punch from Rada! None!
Not even the most audacious ‘Armor of Scrape Ground’!
