Chapter 2029

The whole world was watching to see if the mysterious force will strike again.

Everyone in Erudia hoped for the mysterious force to intercept the sunstones because they didn’t want their resources to be taken away by others, but Bruce was the one who yearned most for the appearance of the mysterious force so that he could catch them once and for all.

Bruce was indeed sly.

Instead of fully guarding the ships, he purposely ordered his men to leave a few spots out for the mysterious force to attack them.

If their defense was too strong, the mysterious force might not strike and the plan would have failed.

Once they tried to steal the sunstones, they could seize the chance and capture the thieves.

On the other hand, Levi received news that the transportation team had started their journey.

“Alright, let’s begin!” he ordered.

“I still don’t think it’s a good idea, boss. We’ll be ambushed if we strike.”

A few of Levi’s subordinates disagreed with Levi’s plan because they thought they would be caught.

Levi laughed. “Do you think I’ve never thought this through carefully? Once we started our mission, there’s no going back. It’s only going to get harder, and I’m ready for that.”

“Alright, we can rest assured.”

“This is when we show them what we are capable of!” Levi smiled confidently.

Meanwhile, the transportation team members were not drinking and having fun as usual.

Afraid that they might lose their lives, everyone had their guard up and waited for the mysterious force to strike.

Bruce was keeping in contact with the transportation team along the way.

Every second that passed felt painfully long to Bruce and his men.

An hour, two hours…

Seven hours had passed since, but nobody appeared.

Everybody started to panic and thought that the mysterious force decided not to show up.

Even Bruce started to waver.

“Are they not coming? Can it be that they just wanted the energy resources rather than stopping the sunstones from leaving Erudia?”

“Come on, you thieves! This is my only chance of finding you!”

Bruce started to panic.

Deep down, he hoped for the mysterious looters to attack them again.

“Go on, transportation team! Show yourself, thieves!” Bruce prayed.

Eight hours had passed, but nothing happened.

The monitoring stations set up by Bruce detected no abnormal activity along the shipping route.

People in Erudia, who didn’t want the sunstones to be taken by the Lab of Gods, started to lose hope because the mysterious looters had yet to show up.

They might not show up at all.

Furthermore, they would be foolish to attack when Bruce had set up so many traps.

The people in Erudia could only watch and do nothing as the sunstones were taken.

“Was it just a simple theft?” Bruce began to suspect.

“Even if they want to steal from us, I doubt they have the guts to do so, Mr. Johnston. Everyone knows you have set up traps. Unless their goal is to stop us from getting the sunstones, who will dare to attack under such conditions? I don’t think anyone in this world will do that.”

“Yes, you’re right. The most likely person behind this is someone from Erudia, but they will not dare attempt it!”

“In that case, we can only accept that we’ve lost the first batch of sunstones!”

Silence ensued.

It was not a big deal to lose a batch of sunstones.

The Lab of Gods should not be humiliated.

When Bruce finally gave up, someone suddenly yelled, “Oh no!”

Right then, bad news arrived…
