"So, please go back."

"Why did you suddenly choose to join the Revolutionary Army?" Tang Xin asked. "I saw your advertisement posted a few months ago."

The three brothers exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"Slay all demons in the world, punish all evil, eradicate all wickedness!"

"Being in a band can’t save the Bionics. We need to free our people from endless pain and exploitation and give them true freedom!"

Tang Xin: "But what if I’m representing the revolutionary cause, inviting you?"

The three were greatly shocked.

Bai Youyou was bewildered in the wind.

She couldn’t understand why even Tang Xin was affected by these three and joined in the commotion.

Not to mention how abrupt it was for the opposite side to say these words with such a youthful face, but speaking these words surrounded by RoboCop, was it really fine?

Tang Xin ignored their astonished looks and briefly explained the situation about transporting the black box, leaving the three dumbfounded.

Demon Slayer’s gaze towards Tang Xin changed, and his attitude shifted from initial perfunctory to deep admiration, calling her comrade instead of kid.

Unexpectedly, despite her youthful appearance, she had such an awakening.

"But I’m sorry, if transporting the black box you mentioned helps the awakening of Bionics, leave it to us. Such a dangerous task..."

"But what if I say," Tang Xin, suddenly holding a microphone from nowhere, holding a guitar at her waist, "it’s not me joining your band, but inviting you to be part of my band?"

The three exchanged a glance.

"If you’re unconvinced, then give it a try." Tang Xin pointed the microphone straight at them.

"Let’s see who can be the lead singer of the band."

...

Minutes Before Full-Scale War Outbreak, Grand International Hotel.

Xu Xiaoyou and Angelina, dressed formally, passed through layers of security checks and arrived at the top floor, most surrounding people were high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army, including N3 Faction and Skyline Sect. Many wealthy and politicians mingled among them.

They were invited here for love and peace, unaware of the true purpose of the meeting or even the leader behind it.

"Do you see anyone you know?" Xu Xiaoyou casually picked up a glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray and took a few sips.

"No, not a single one," Angelina said. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I’ve never seen these people inside the Revolutionary Army."

"Seems like these Revolutionary Army high-levels are quite well-hidden, some people I’ve seen recently at the talent recognition event in Skyline City."

Xu Xiaoyou casually placed the glass back onto another waiter’s tray, pressing it onto the tip at the bottom.

"Well-hidden indeed," Angelina rolled her eyes. "A bunch of hypocrites."

"Always shouting slogans loudly, letting the lower ranks be cannon fodder, while they comfortably hide at the back, not even daring to show their faces."

Clearly, it wasn’t Angelina’s first time accompanying Xu Xiaoyou to such an occasion, a figure walked past between them, and in a blink, Angelina took the waist of a lady, and began a small dance to the soothing music.

Xu Xiaoyou continued walking silently, quickening her pace, the tossed coin flipping in the air before landing, soon she wedged into the crowd, reaching a position closer to the podium.

An elderly lady looked at her hesitantly and was guided by Xu Xiaoyou to leave her seat, moving to another side, and for a few seconds, her mind hadn’t quite processed it yet.

She remembered it was indeed her seat...

Yet Xu Xiaoyou with a gentle smile dispelled all the elderly lady’s doubts.

Xu Xiaoyou slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked toward the stage.

Su Sui got lost within the Shrine, already eliminated, her life or death in reality was unknown.

Having lost members before even facing Assassin’s Creed, the situation wasn’t optimistic for her.

Fortunately, most matters were still within her control; as long as she could regain command of the Revolutionary Army, she could grasp all directions of the black box.

About two minutes later, Xu Xiaoyou got up and approached a man who was drinking with others.

"Vibos, clear the scene, ensure no odd individuals mix in."

The man was slightly confused, but upon seeing Xu Xiaoyou’s calm face, he nodded repeatedly, hurriedly putting down the glass, smiling politely at several businessmen, and quickly left with his subordinates.

Xu Xiaoyou had investigated this man, the Revolutionary Army’s General Security Defense Minister. Through her recent observations, she confirmed most Revolutionary Army high-levels didn’t know each other, relying only on internal communications to issue orders.

She believed that a clearing command would undoubtedly be issued by a high-level. As long as she appeared in advance, the Security Defense people naturally wouldn’t be oblivious enough to trace her.

Ultimately, these people were still parts of the execution chain, primarily needed to accomplish orders and their jobs; questioning their superiors was the greatest taboo.

Three minutes before the official start of the meeting, a man observing the scene quietly saw the Security Defense begin identity verifications and frowned slightly, stepping forward to stop Vibos.

"What are you doing?"

"As you can see, sir, I’m verifying these people’s identities, ensuring no accidents when Siphaun Commander appears."

"Who instructed you to do this?"

Vibos’s expression was complex.

He considered himself not of a low rank within the Revolutionary Army, yet today he successively encountered ranks higher than his.

Out of reverence, he earnestly replied:

"I’m not sure, perhaps a notable figure?"

The man wanted to ask further whether the order came from internal communications or directly, but someone arrived beside him, silent, with a somewhat grim complexion.

"Sorry, I have some matters to discuss with this gentleman." Angelina smiled.

The man swallowed, the light was dim; if this Security Minister’s vision were sharper, he’d see the man’s tight, pale face hinting at some anomaly.

Angelina coerced the man to an empty corner, then gently chopped him, the man slumped to the ground, proving identity information card fell into his hand.

After resolving all troubles, when Angelina returned, the Security Minister faintly sensed something amiss; the unease he couldn’t place pressed on his nerves until he couldn’t help stepping forward to intercept the returning girl:

"Could you please show me your identity?"

"Blind as a bat you are," Angelina coldly scolded, directly flicking the ID document onto the man’s face.

The man dared not take it to inspect closely, quickly scanned the Revolutionary Army symbol on the cover, and hurriedly returned it, unclear about the exact level of her identity, yet the symbol alone proved definitively higher than his.

Thus, through an array of methods, the two young women successfully passed all screenings.

Time passed minute by minute, soon some movement arose up front.

The crowd stirred, a young figure donned in silk top hat, under countless gazes, slowly ascended the podium, drawing all eyes to his dark red outfit; his pale red eyes opened.

Final Minute Before Full-Scale War Outbreak.
