Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Taking the Lead

Translator: 549690339 |

In the outskirts of Miredi City, on a secluded and remote pier, dozens of men and women of diverse designs but uniformly dressed gazed at a boat slowly approaching.

“Whew!” Focusing on the boat, one of them abruptly let out a

sigh of relief, a touch of ease appearing on his face, “Finally, we can evacuate.”

“I guess, the Spirit Chef Association still probably has no clue till now.” He chuckled with a certainly smug expression on his face, “They might still be dumbly looking for the traces of Star Hunters.”

“What’s there to be proud of?” Another woman annoyed, rolled her eyes and patted the precious instruments wrapped in layers beside her, “It’s all because you messed around that the Manmade Star Power got out of control and leaked out!”

“Do you know how much those instruments that could not be moved are worth?!” She nearly shouted as she said this.

As the personnel in charge of finances in the organization, she felt drained at the moment.

Those were the expensive instruments from an entire laboratory!

Because they were in such a rush and couldn’t take them away, they had to destroy them on the spot!

“Alright, discussing this now is pointless.” The leader of the Star Gathering rubbed his temples and sighed, “First, let’s get on the boat and leave this place. With the data and key instruments in hand, we can have another go.”

“But boss, we left our most important Manmade Star Power generator in the laboratory which hasn’t been damaged. Won’t there be a problem?” Another man voiced his concern.

The leader paused for a moment.

Indeed, this was a problem.

They had put a great deal of effort into building that device, and were it not for the leakage of the Manmade Star Power, they would have taken it with them at all costs.

As for not damaging it, that too was a helpless move.

The leakage of the Manmade Star Power had taken place two days before, and if they had damaged the device serving as a container, the leak would have been much faster than it is now. In that case, everything would undoubtedly have been exposed to the Spirit Chef Association.

Keeping it intact could delay the leak to some extent, buying them time to transfer.

“You don’t understand, the boss is planning to return to take away the generator in the future!” Another man, who thought he knew the leader well, confidently said, “Our underground labs are so hidden, they won’t be able to find them at all!”

“Moreover, we have already diverted the attention, shifting the suspicion to the Star Hunters.” He chuckled, “The Star Hunter organization has been sighted in Bai Lu Mountain City recently, they are the perfect scapegoats.”

“So, the Spirit Chef Association will probably focus on capturing the Star Hunter, overlooking the underground labs.”

“Looking at the time, the leakage should have ended by now, and after a while, nobody will pay attention to the Star River Manufacturing Factory, we can easily go back and retrieve the instruments!”

These words from the man won considerable agreement from the group, and everyone suddenly looked at the leader with a gaze of admiration, one after the other.

The leader of the Star Gathering stayed silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Don’t underestimate the Spirit Chef Association. Even if they can’t find the mechanism to open the tunnel, they might dig three feet into the ground to find the lab directly.”

“Let’s go, get on the ship.” Looking at the boat docked next to the pier, the boss exhaled.

To ensure their safety, it might be best to lay low in Tianhua State for a while and stay out of sight.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out at this moment.

The group that was preparing to evacuate instantly went into combat mode, summoned their Food Spirits, and looked around attentively, quickly locking onto a dark ray of light falling from the sky.

“Enemy attack!”

The leader of the Star Gathering let out a low warning, a serious look appearing on his face.

He was the first to release his Seven-Star Map lit up by stars, transforming into a man bathed in red flames. He directed his Food Spirit, who also bathed in flames and suddenly grew in size, to attack the dark light in the sky.

“Boom!!!”

Accompanied by a booming sound echoing throughout the pier, the storm erupting from the point of collision spread outwards. Like a smoke bomb exploding, the thick smoke instantly enveloped everyone on the scene.

The leader of the Star Gathering and his Food Spirit were both thrown back. Not having a moment to react, he could already hear screams coming from the smoke and dust.

“Who is it!”

There was a hint of panic in his voice.

This was not how the Spirit Chef Association operated!

Could it be that other criminal organizations got wind of this and plan to engage in infighting?

In an instant, other criminal organizations hiding in Miredi City flashed through his mind one by one.

Which bastard could it be?!

The screams grew fewer and fewer as the smoke and dust were quickly torn apart.

The ground was littered with his men, fallen and unconscious, but the boss of the Star Gathering couldn’t care about them anymore.

He saw a slowly floating blue light orb, as well as the figure behind the light orb wearing a gorgeous black mask.

That is…

The leader of the Star Gathering couldn’t find his words, and in the next moment, that light orb suddenly exploded, transforming into a fierce storm that engulfed the entire pier, sweeping everything away!

“Going by the collated and analysed intelligence, the criminals of the Star Gathering who are fleeing should be at this pier.”

A catching squad consisting of hundreds of people, led by the president of the Miredi City Spirit Chef Association himself and accompanied by several local first-level Spirit Executors, had already arrived outside the pier.

President Zeng Shihai looked towards the nervous crowd behind him with hawk-sharp eyes, “They are about to board the ship and leave Tianhua State. If they succeed, we will not see these lawless fanatics for a long time.”

“But likewise, we will also lose the chance to bring them to justice!”

“Do you want to see that happen?”

“No!” The crowd replied in a low voice but filled with intense fighting spirit.

“Good!” Zeng Shihai nodded satisfactorily, “If so, we..”

“Boom!!!”

A loud explosion sound came from the direction of the pier.

Zeng Shihai paused for a moment, with his face dramatically changing.

Although he had no idea what was happening, that direction…

“Go!”

Taking the lead, Zeng Shihai activated his Spirit-ignite Power in an instant, bathed in purple flames as he dashed towards the direction of the pier.

The local first-level Spirit Executors and many members of the Public Security Management Department followed closely behind him.

The group moved at full speed, and soon arrived at the place where the rumbling sound was coming from.

Looking at the situation on the ground, their expressions turned a bit strange.

Those criminal suspects they had prepared to arrest with so much firepower were now knocked out, bound tightly and laid motionless on the ground.

Zeng Shihai took a deep breath, quickly walked up to the leader of the Star Gathering and identified the man who had been wanted for a long time.

Next, his gaze fell to the foot of the Star Gathering’s leader.

There was a gorgeous mask drawn in black paint.

And a line of small text under the mask.

“This time it was my doing.”
