Chapter 1028 - It Should Be It!

As the first showing of an ace mecha battle, Mu Chaoran’s opponent would obviously be a powerful ace mecha master. He had reached the peak level of ace mecha master so he was intending to use this opportunity to advance to imperial mecha operator.

However, this was not the last match so the mecha operator from Caesar didn’t expect to meet such a powerful opponent right at the start.

As for Mu Chaoran, he knew from the start that he had to enter the top three so he fought with all his might.

One was unprepared while the other fought to his best. Furthermore, Mu Chaoran’s mecha piloting skill was already a level higher than his opponent. If his opponent had prepared beforehand, he might have a chance against Mu Chaoran. Unfortunately, he was caught unprepared. His carelessness gave Mu Chaoran an opportunity to immediately suppress his opponent.

Unsurprisingly, the mecha operator from Caesar lost within a few rounds. Mu Chaoran returned to backstage and ejected out from his mecha. Unlike how smooth the match went, he appeared haggard and soaked in perspiration when he got ejected out. He seemed a little tired.

“How do you feel?” Tang Ningyu asked.

“They’re all very experienced mecha operators. This won’t be an easy tournament.” Mu Chaoran didn’t have his usual smile on his face. He was extremely serious now.

Tang Ningyu nodded. He didn’t continue speaking. He just turned his head to the arena as new mecha operators were entering the arena.

In a small room, Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were watching the match too. Su Pei’s face turned pale after the first match.

“Yiqiu, is everyone as strong as them?” If that was the case, they would just get beaten up in this tournament.

“If they aren’t so powerful, why are we taking part in this battle?” Xiao Yiqiu dashed Su Pei’s hope.

“Yiqiu, I might not be able to win a single match.” Although he was able to become an ace operator because of Xiao Yiqiu’s help, he didn’t have any experience at all. Would he be able to compete against these experienced and vicious mecha operators?

“Su Pei, don’t you want to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces?” Xiao Yiqiu stopped smiling and turned stern. “We will be going through a harsh assessment. Those examiners might be even stronger than these people. If we are frightened by the mecha operators here, how are we going to face the examiners from the Flying Dragon Special Forces?”

Su Pei’s nervousness disappeared after his words. He turned resolute again. Xiao Yiqiu turned his face to the other side and gave an evil and vicious expression. When he turned back, he had a bright smile on his face.

Just as Little Four told her that he was done, Ling Lan had just finished watching a battle. Just to lessen more suspicion on her, she stood up and walked around some more before she left quietly. In the next second, she opened her eyes and she was back in the real world.

“How is it?” Li Yinfei asked in concern.

“It’s amazing.” Ling Lan exclaimed. She appeared mesmerized by Mai’er Fa’s technology. “Miss Li, you should try it.”

Li Yinfei appeared enticed but she quickly controlled her desires and shook her head. “Nevermind. You’ve tried it already.” She turned to the representative of Mailer Fa and thanked him. “Thank you for your arrangements. I’m really happy to see the most advanced technology of Mai’er Fa.”

“Miss Li, don’t you want to take a closer look?” The representative of Mai’er Fa smiled and asked.

Li Yinfei shook her head. “This is enough. It’s better for both the host and the guest to enjoy themselves.” She gave a half-smile to the representative of Mai’er Fa. “Don’t you think so?”

The standard smile of the representative’s face turned more sincere as he replied, “Miss Li, you make sense.”

It seemed like Li Yinfei wasn’t a brainless beauty. She knew her position well and knew when she should stop. This meant that they didn’t need to try to hide their secret from her. She knew what she shouldn’t ask.

Hence, under the guidance of the representative of Mailer Fa, Li Yinfei and Ling Lan left the office area and returned to the ground level.

Li Yinfei’s manager and her bodyguards were waiting for her below. Although Li Yinfei vented her anger on them because of Min’er and didn’t bring them into the office area, they couldn’t leave Li Yinfei like this. If they stopped servicing her, the family head of the Li family would punish them even if Li Yinfei didn’t.

When Li Yinfei came down, they hurriedly went up to welcome her. Min’er wanted to go forward too but Li Yinfei’s face turned cold when she saw her. She turned and asked her manager, “Why is she still here?”

“Young miss, I’m sorry. I was possessed just now and said something I shouldn’t have. I didn’t mean what I say. Please give me one more chance.” Min’er wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Li Yinfei’s cold gaze. She could only cry on the spot.

Li Yinfei ignored Min’er entirely. She looked at Ling Lan and said calmly, “Little Yang, your young miss is waiting for you. Hurry up and go back.”

Don’t wash your dirty linen in public. Li Yinfei didn’t want Little Yang to see their fight.

Ling Lan quickly nodded and ran off.

Li Yinfei looked at Min’er and said, “I’ll go to the washroom first. I’ll decide what to do with you after I come out.” When she was talking, a vicious look appeared on her face. Min’er was shocked. Her young miss always liked to act like a good person. Did she give up on her act?

“Oh... I understand.” Li Yinfei’s manager was stunned by her expression too. He nodded and looked at Min’er with pity. He seemed to be telling her that she was unable to escape from this crisis.

If Li Yinfei wanted to maintain her kind act, Min’er might be saved. However, from the looks of it now, Li Yinfei didn’t want to continue with her act anymore. That meant that Min’er was dead.

Li Yinfei walked into the huge washroom. There were more than 20 cubicles in it. A faint black light was coming from one cubicle, but everyone was disregarding this abnormal cubicle. No one was trying to enter it. It seemed as though this cubicle didn’t exist.

Li Yinfei walked to the back and tapped the door with her finger. A black light could be seen on her finger.

The black light disappeared suddenly.

At that moment, someone appeared beside Li Yinfei. It was Ling Lan.

“What do we do now?” Li Yinfei lowered her voice and asked.

“Create a memory.” Ling Lan smiled.

Li Yinfei’s expression froze. She looked at Ling Lan with a dumbfounded expression. She seemed stunned by what Ling Lan said.

“One of my innate talents,” Ling Lan said indifferently.

The astonishment in Li Yinfei’s eyes disappeared. She lifted her finger and tapped on the door again. The door opened by itself and revealed Li Yinfei who was sitting unconscious on the toilet seat.

There were two Li Yinfei!

The person that brought Ling Lan in wasn’t Li Yinfei. It was Li Lanfeng. When Li Yinfei entered the washroom, she was knocked unconscious by Li Lanfeng and placed inside the last cubicle. To make sure that no one would find her, Li Lanfeng used his domain concept and virtualized the last cubicle, including the person sitting inside while he brought her into his virtual world, away from the real world.

Unless an imperial stage domain realm master entered the washroom, no one would discover this secret. Moreover, this was a female washroom, male domain realm masters couldn’t enter. As for female domain realm masters, Ling Lan was the only one.

Li Lanfeng did everything secretly so no one knew what happened. Hence, no one would discover the hidden cubicle.

Ling Lan looked at the unconscious Li Yinfei. She placed her index finger on Li Yinfei’s forehead. After a few seconds, she retracted her finger. She looked at Li Lanfeng and the two of them slowly disappeared in front of Li Yinfei.

Around ten seconds later, Li Yinfei opened her eyes. Her gaze was piercing. She walked out of the washroom and said to her manager angrily, “I don’t want to see her again. Make her disappear in front of me.”

Then, she returned to her room with her bodyguards. The memory of her bringing Little Yang into the office area as well as the conversation between her and the representative of Mailer Fa had all been implanted in her mind. She would feel that everything Li Lanfeng did was what she did. If not one realized that her memory was altered, no one would know that Li Lanfeng pretended to be Li Yinfei.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the most luxurious VIP room, Sword Monarch suddenly opened his eyes. He felt the aura of the imperial realm formidable warrior who fought with him yesterday. However, the aura only appeared for a second before it disappeared without a trace. He knew that the other party was near him but he just couldn’t find his exact position.

In a certain virtual pod, a middle-aged man lying inside it frowned. He seemed puzzled. “Why can’t I find any traces of him? Who on earth is he? Although I can’t find any evidence, my instinct tells me that someone came to the main core and took some things away. Damn it, I can’t find anything.”

‘Is there another hacker that is more powerful than a god-class hacker in this world?’ The middle-aged man quickly disregarded this thought. If this person was more powerful than a god-class hacker, he could only be the virtual god, and that was impossible.

Although the middle-aged man denied this thought, he still didn’t know which mysterious hacker launched an attack on Mai’er Fa. In the end, he could only sigh and suppressed his curiosity.

In the middle of the night, a black figure entered Li Lanfeng’s room.

Li Lanfeng quickly sat up and said in a low voice, “You’re here.”

“Yes. Sword Monarch was present in the afternoon so I didn’t want to take the risk to talk to you.” Ling Lan didn’t feel embarrassed about entering a man’s room in the middle of the night. She acted naturally. Maybe she had forgotten that she was a lady. Or maybe Li Lanfeng’s beauty made her forget that Li Lanfeng was a man.

“When I entered the virtual world to watch the mecha tournament, I went to look for information about the Magic Ace Mecha Clan, including their mission that year.” Ling Lan sent Li Lanfeng a virtual photograph. There was an elegant and handsome man on it. He looked around 40 years old.

“Who is this?” Li Lanfeng asked curiously. He was unfamiliar with this person.

“He is the mission of the Magic Ace Mecha Clan that year. They were tasked to watch over this person carefully,” Ling Lan replied.

“Who is this? Why is he so important that the Federation sent a titled super mecha clan to watch over him?” Li Lanfeng frowned. No matter how he looked at the person, he didn’t look like a powerful domain realm master or a formidable mecha operator.

“Huang Yaobing. He is not famous to the public but in the upper echelons of people in the Federation, he is quite well-known. Have you heard of the Son of God project?” Ling Lan asked seriously.

“The Son of God project?” Li Lanfeng exclaimed in surprise. He had heard his grandfather mentioning this before but no matter how he pestered his grandfather for more information, his grandfather never told him anything about it. He even reminded Li Lanfeng to forget about this to prevent himself from getting into trouble.

“That year, the Federation wanted to create a batch of Son of Gods. Once they become adults, they would be able to become domain realm masters or pseudo god-class mecha masters. This project was initiated 25 years ago. However, five years later, the project got banned. Huang Yaobing was the person-in-charge of this project. When the project got banned, he remained quiet for five years. 15 years ago, he was requested to come to Mai’er Fa to experience the gambling culture here. The Federation thought for a long time and decided to agree to his request. To keep him safe, the Federation sent the Magic Ace Mecha Clan to disguise as his bodyguards...” Ling Lan told him the truth about the mission of the Magic Ace Mecha Clan.

“By right, a person like Huang Yaobing shouldn’t be able to leave the nation. When the Federation agreed to let him out, there was already something wrong. Plus, they didn’t send any imperial realm formidable warrior to protect and watch over him. Instead, they just sent a titled ace mecha clan. In Mailer Fa, there are many restrictions on a mecha clan. Sending an imperial realm formidable warrior was a much better choice than sending a mecha clan over.” Ling Lan voiced out her doubts.

“Did the Magic Ace Mecha Clan really took the mission by coincidence?” Li Lanfeng expressed his opinion. “I feel that we have to find all the mission the Magic Ace Mecha Clan took in the past and compared it to this mission. This is the only way we’ll find the truth.”

“You are right, so I’ve compiled all the missions that Magic Ace Mecha Clan took part in the past. This is the list of their mission they took part in after they became a mecha clan.” Ling Lan sent another file to Li Lanfeng.

“I think that we only have to look at the mission during the last five years. If there’s a problem, five years is the longest period of time anyone could bear.” Ling Lan continued, “Actually, I think looking at the mission they took within their last year is enough. However, to prevent any errors, I checked back into their last five years.”

“One year is indeed enough. Exterminating the Magic Ace Mecha Clan is not a small matter. The other party definitely couldn’t bear with them for five years. One year is probably the maximum. I even think that a year might be too long. The longer they dragged on, the higher the possibility of their secret getting exposed. If my guess is correct, the Magic Ace Mecha Clan might have accidentally found out about a secret the higher authorities wanted to protect.” Li Lanfeng agreed with Ling Lan’s prediction.

The two of them looked through the mission in their last years before the Magic Ace Mecha Clan was annihilated. They pointed to a mission at the same time and shouted, “This is

it!”
