Chapter 1366: Chapter 1363: Crisis

The next morning, as dawn broke, Bi Xia led his team to Katrina’s room. Upon opening the door and seeing the empty room, Meng Chi furrowed his brow. He had met Katrina and knew of her ruthlessness and cunning, so he instinctively shielded Bi Xia.

Bi Xia patted Meng Chi’s shoulder, sidestepping him with a knowing smile as he entered the room. He glanced at the neatly folded quilt and chuckled, "Could you fold it like this?"

Meng Chi’s expression flashed with awkwardness, "Boss, don’t jest with me."

At home, he was accustomed to leaving the bed unkempt. Although they weren’t the military here, their habits were militarized, and this environment permeated everything—even leaving the bed unmade felt oddly disgraceful.

Bi Xia laughed, lifted the meticulously folded quilt, and found a folded piece of paper beneath it, all while Meng Chi looked on in astonishment.

Meng Chi clicked his tongue and scratched his head, "Still so vigilant."

Bi Xia opened the paper, reading Katrina’s parting words, his brow furrowing tightly. After a pause, he swiftly pocketed the letter and headed out of the room, "Chi, where are Xiao Wu and the others?"

"They went on a mission this morning and haven’t returned yet. It seems they are discussing cooperation with the Government of Country A’s military, otherwise any large-scale actions might panic the citizens," Meng Chi quickly followed Bi Xia, "but Boss Feng is still at the base now."

"He should be gone already," Bi Xia snapped his fingers, releasing a surge of spiritual power that burst forth, glinting blue at his pupils before rushing out of the base and into the sky, emanating a dragon’s roar.

Meng Chi paused briefly, "Did something happen?"

Seeing the Nine Gates personnel appear before him within five seconds, Bi Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Now, everyone arm yourselves and guard the base well. Remember, anyone, even Chu Wu or Feng Zhihuai, who appears outside the base without prior clearance is to be denied entry! Understand?"

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, orders were followed. Eyes exchanged glances, turning away to spread out—some in visible places, others concealed, heightening vigilance to the utmost.

"Boss?"

Chu Kuang looked toward Bi Xia who just greeted him, "Did something happen?"

"Something might have occurred with Xiao Wu’s team," Bi Xia said flatly, "Inform the people on the big brother’s side to stay alert; base security is your responsibility now. Don’t let any chaos ensue."

"Alright," Chu Kuang nodded, and as he spoke, looked toward Bi Xia and Meng Chi, pausing, "Are you going to find Mr. Wu?"

Bi Xia didn’t respond to Chu Kuang’s question, instead saying, "If Wei Ming returns, notify him immediately to find Katrina and bring her back to Beijing!"

Noting Bi Xia’s heavy gaze, Chu Kuang inhaled deeply and nodded, "Understood."

The conversation ended, and Bi Xia’s eyes turned solemn, ’007, have you confirmed the location?’

[Confirmed, east suburb, over five hundred meters. It’s Country A’s military base; they went there, but...] 007 glanced at the screen display, the red crosses glaringly bright, [the base is locked down.]

Bi Xia paused momentarily, cursed, ’Damn it!’

"Nine Gates, orders!"

"Yes!"

"Abandon the original plan, contact everyone immediately, leave the base, and follow me!"

"Yes!"

With eyes dark like stormy skies, cold blue embers swirled—betrayed! Utter humiliation.

Raising his gaze toward the darkening sky, his eyes narrowed, cold light flickering, "Chi, notify Beijing that if Country A’s people aren’t keeping their word, we’ll issue a retreat notice. Inform them if they want our help, they better reveal their assets—having a traitor infiltrate their ranks while still preserving face, a bunch of idiots!"

"Boss!" Laser leaped from a height, "At least ten enemy tanks are advancing toward us! By the looks, they’re hostile!"

Red lips pursed tight, gritted teeth, "Bring it on! I’ll smash those lying bastards!"
