Chapter 873 - 873 Simultaneous Missing Cases
873 Simultaneous Missing Cases
Supremacy Melanie’s face was gloomy and her expression was extremely ugly.
She did not expect that this year’s Orion Arm Martial Arts Alliance Competition held by the United States of Melaita would actually be so chaotic.
The previous commotion was mainly related to Chu Nan and caused an extremely huge commotion. It even attracted a Star-Grade Martial Artist to capture him in public, causing a huge commotion.
Fortunately, Chu Nan somehow convinced that Star-Grade Martial Artist to return to everyone safely. Otherwise, if this matter could not be settled, the organizing committee of the competition and the United States of Melaita would be greatly embarrassed.
However, now, the competition of the final eight had finally stabilized. Although Chu Nan had been accidentally eliminated and received criticism from many people, at the last moment of the competition, he still attracted the gazes of countless people and continued to receive attention.
However, at such a critical moment, this kid, Tiago, actually disappeared!
That’s right, he was missing!
Ever since the battle with Willan ended two days ago, Tiago had lost any news.
The first day did not attract much attention, but no one had been able to contact him for the entire day yesterday. Even now that his competition was about to begin and countless spectators were looking forward to it, he still did not appear.
“What’s this kid doing?!” Supremacy Melanie spat out fiercely from the gaps of her teeth.
In this competition, the United States of Melaita was already embarrassing enough. Now, Tiago, who was reputed to be the star of hope of the United States of Melaita, was actually missing. Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if he was seen as escaping without a fight?
The staff of the competition’s organizing committee and the teacher in charge of the Green Academy looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They had long used various methods to find Tiago’s whereabouts, but they had never found anything.
It was already certain that it was impossible to find Tiago in less than half an hour before the competition began.
It seemed that no matter what, the reputation of Tiago escaping without a fight would spread.
“Continue to find him! Even if you have to turn the entire Planet Tomrelle upside down, you have to find this kid!” Supremacy Melanie’s tone was filled with anger as she ordered everyone bluntly.
As soon as a Star-Grade Martial Artist was angry, the surrounding space shook and changed color. Everyone immediately felt an extremely terrifying true pressure and had no choice but to move with all their might.
However, everyone knew very well that they had not been able to find it for the entire day yesterday. How could they find it so easily now?
No matter how much they did now, it was all in vain.
Just as everyone was busy liaising with the other parties to confirm the whereabouts of Tiago, a staff member suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. He ignored the surprised gazes of the others and walked to Supremacy Melanie.
Supremacy Melanie glanced at him in surprise.
“What? There’s news of that kid, Tiago?”
“No.” The staff shook his head, “Supremacy, someone wants to see you.”
“See me?” Supremacy Melanie frowned slightly. The others in the room also glared at the staff member.
Didn’t this guy see what time it was? Why was he still casually disturbing Supremacy Melanie?
“Let him go back. I don’t see any…” Supremacy Melanie waved her hand and was about to signal for the staff to leave when her heart suddenly stirred and she asked, “Wait, who is it?”
“That person claims to be a reporter from the Earth Federation. Her name is Yang Xirui,” the staff replied.
“Yang Xirui?” A thought flashed through Supremacy Melanie’s mind, “This name sounds familiar…”
“Supremacy, it’s the female reporter from Earth who made a bet with our reporters from Melaita. Because of him, many of our reporters ran around naked…” A staff member on the other side reminded him softly.
“Oh? I remember now. This female reporter seems to be very concerned about Chu Nan.” Supremacy Melanie reacted and thought for a moment before nodding, “Let her in.”
“Yes.”
A moment later, Yang Xirui, who had an anxious expression, hurriedly walked in under the lead of the staff.
Her gaze swept past everyone in the room and quickly fixed on Supremacy Melanie.
“Hello, Supremacy Melanie. Do you know where Chu Nan is now?”
As soon as Yang Xirui spoke, everyone in the room was stunned.
Supremacy Melanie asked in surprise, “Chu Nan is also missing?”
“Also?” Yang Xirui acutely noticed the use of this term and looked at her in surprise, “Supremacy, you mean…”
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Supremacy Melanie hurriedly waved her hand to hide and continued to ask, “Why did you come to ask me about Chu Nan’s whereabouts? Aren’t you very close to him?”
Seeing that Supremacy Melanie did not seem to know, the anxiety on Yang Xirui’s face deepened. She frowned elegantly and shook her head, “I could still contact him the morning before yesterday, but I lost contact at noon. I still can’t contact him.”

This time was almost the same as the time Tiago disappeared. Could there be a connection between the two?
As a reporter, Yang Xirui’s ability to read people’s expressions was naturally top-notch. It was very easy for her to see the exchange of glances between Supremacy Melanie and the others in the room. She could not help but feel surprised. When she recalled the information that Supremacy Melanie had unintentionally revealed, she immediately asked, “Supremacy, have you lost contact with others?”
Supremacy Melanie frowned slightly and hesitated.
Tiago’s disappearance before the competition was definitely a disgraceful piece of news to the United States of Melaita. If they revealed it to Yang Qianru, a reporter from the Earth Federation, and let her publicize it, it would be very difficult to control the matter.
However, just as she was hesitating, a staff member in the room suddenly cried out in surprise, attracting everyone’s attention.
Supremacy Melanie and Yang Xirui looked over together. That staff member was turning around in surprise and saying to Supremacy Melanie, “Supremacy, there’s… there’s a message from the… the Tulado Republic. They said… they said that two of their students are also missing!”
“Ah?” Everyone was immediately stunned.
Supremacy Melanie’s mind raced. Just as she was about to speak, another staff member in the room cried out in surprise.
“Supremacy, I just received news that the delegation of the Figg Empire was attacked by interstellar pirates on the way back. Everyone in the delegation is missing.”
“Supremacy… the Planetary Security Department has sent a message. A student from the delegation of the Monsk Republic has disappeared for no reason…”
…
All the news seemed to have erupted at the same time. In a moment, news of the disappearance of twelve students from seven countries came one after another.
As news came one after another, the atmosphere in the room changed from surprise to shock and finally to gloom.
Supremacy Melanie’s expression was several times uglier than before.
Now, she was certain that this was definitely not an exception to the disappearance of a student like Tiago. It was clearly a conspiracy attack against the participants of this competition!
Countless thoughts instantly flashed through her mind. Suddenly, her gaze landed on the equally surprised Yang Xirui and she asked in a low voice, “You just said that Chu Nan lost contact the day before yesterday?”
“Ah, right. What’s wrong?” Yang Xirui asked in a daze.
Supremacy Melanie took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
A moment later, she said in a low voice, “Perhaps… it’s all up to Chu Nan to bring these students back to safety.”
“Ah?” Like the others around her, Yang Xirui looked at Supremacy Melanie in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly said this.
