The person who just took the frame said they would quickly provide a response regarding its fate. So, William and Rims sat in the café, sipping their drinks while waiting, thinking that perhaps the scientists would look at the frame, find it unremarkable, and return it after all.
While the likelihood of that happening was slim, there was still a chance, right? Holding onto this thought, they sat in silence for a long time, yet no news came their way.
Anthony, on the surface, was merely accompanying his subordinates as they waited. In reality, he had quietly opened a hacking app on his phone to monitor this intriguing meeting. As for the frame being returned? Ha! Anthony had never entertained such an idea. His two subordinates simply hadn’t experienced enough; their understanding of society was still lacking.
After a few years of navigating the real world, they would come to realize that once something like this was handed over, it was destined to never come back. However, this knowledge was bestowed upon him by Xu Liexian when he had spent points to grant him insights that he could grasp immediately without needing to endure the harsh realities of society himself.
Ah, thank you, Xu Liexian. Just as Anthony finished his silent prayer, the door to the lounge swung open: "You’ve been temporarily reassigned."
William, who had been waiting anxiously, jumped up thinking that perhaps the frame would be returned after all. But upon hearing about the reassignment, confusion washed over him.
What was going on? They were being borrowed from their division to headquarters? The External Agent who had taken the frame earlier seemed rushed as well: "Latest news—Great Federation's Sherwood District has announced its secession from the Great Federation. Each department needs time to mobilize, so we need you elite search personnel to infiltrate Great Federation's Sherwood District for intelligence gathering."
Anthony hadn’t anticipated this; he had only come to deliver a frame and ended up receiving a mission to infiltrate enemy territory. William and Rims were stunned by the intelligence regarding Great Federation's Sherwood District; they didn’t even know what to say. Was there really a region that had seceded? What kind of joke was this?
After explaining how to communicate with headquarters, the agent hurriedly prepared to leave. He still needed to contact a nearby division close to Great Federation's Sherwood District for support in the infiltration; there was no time to waste.
"Wait a minute!" William called out as he rushed after him. "What about the frame? The one you took earlier?"
The External Agent paused for a moment, confused. "What frame?"
Oh! It took him a moment to remember—it was the frame left behind by Xu Lie, who had already been captured by Alien Affairs.
Take that thing to the conference room; there's no need for the higher-ups to request a look. Either they argue about whether it's war or compromise, or they reach a consensus to take action against the Great Federation, Sherwood District. The picture frame was even tossed aside in the conference room.
Right now, there’s no time to deal with William, so he made an excuse that the upper management required it to be stored by the external bureau and wouldn’t return it, leaving without looking back.
William felt lost and dejected; without his idol's picture frame, he suddenly had no strength left. Rims was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth restlessly, with one problem after another piling up. Fack, infiltrating the Great Federation, Sherwood District? It sounded easy, but actually sneaking behind enemy lines was incredibly dangerous. Should they just run away instead?
Anthony, however, was not conflicted: "Let’s go. This is a mission; we can’t refuse."
They needed to leave this place first and then find a moment when William and Rims wouldn’t notice to contact Xu Liexian. If he could go to the Great Federation, Sherwood District, then he would go; if not, he would slip away midway. Anthony didn’t need to hesitate at all.
