Khaya looked at Anne. She recognized Anne, soone from a Chief Administrator team. She did not know the reason why Anne joined a new team.
Anne let out a sigh when the previous mission was brought up again. That reminded her of the unpleasant mories for her. Despite her pain, she confird the story. "He's right. Back then he was the only Administrator in the team, and he defeated sixteen kingdoms by himself. He also saved us from a kingdom that almost wiped out my forr team and the other nine teams in the sa fort."
Arsus, a Junior Administrator front the Daenelis Clan sneered, did not believe in the obvious lie. Even though he never fought a calamity kingdom, he had heard how scary and strong it was. One person couldn't defeat a calamity kingdom.
"Please make a believable lie. You can't expect us to trust you with such nonsense! You should let our captain take care of the Void Cult instead of trying to hog all the contributions!"
The mont he said, everyone looked at the male snow elf. He flinched slightly, but his captain's presence gave him the courage to stare them back.
"You speak big for soone who barely contributed anything to the investigation!" Anne showed her dislike for this man despite his peerless look. He thought of a little of her losing her old team.
"Why would we share the information if we want to hog all the contributions? Does that even make sense?"
Arsus's face turned in anger. The redness was so obvious with how white his skin was.
Anne ignored him and looked straight at Khaya, "If you don't believe in my story, then you can ask White Knight. They participated in the sa special mission as well."
Khaya waved her hand at Arsus who was about to say sothing. She shook her head, "I believe you. We will follow your arrangent."
Tang Shaoyang did not have to say anything. Anne solved it by herself, a good spokesperson for the team. He was glad that Khaya was not as unreasonable as he thought.
"Then it's decided."

The army was leaving the next morning. There was a parade, a ceremonial parade to send off the army. The residents were throwing flowers, and so children giving a bucket to the soldier.
One thousand armies were in parade, a hundred thousand armies were waiting outside, and another fifty thousand armies were already on the border. The Salyra Kingdom had prepared everything for quite so ti.
Anne watched the parade secretly. Her heart was heavy as she watched the smile on the residents. She knew those smiles were about to disappear soon. She could not watch it any longer and decided to leave the city earlier.

Khaya and her team were watching Count Fontanella's residence and their people. Despite the information they received from The Reds, they still did their investigation. They indeed found the strange movent from this family, but they could not pinpoint whether they were related to the Void Cult or not.
They were staying at the building across the Fontanella Mansion, watching their movent from there.
"What will we do now, captain? We can kill them now and prevent the summoning, or should we wait for the summoning before killing them? If we kill them right away, we can assist Tang Shaoyang to fight The Void Cult in case he encounters a mishap."
Nandra asked. They had not decided what to do with the summoning. Since they had found out the way to get the main culprit. They no longer needed to wait for the summoning. They could just get rid of the Count Fontanella family right away.
"No. Let's not assist that arrogant human. If he sses up, then the responsibility will fall into his hands for failing to catch a mber of the Void Cult. As for our task, we should let them summon the void creature and kill it. We will get additional credits for killing a void creature."
Arsus disagreed with Nandra. The risk of fighting The Void Cult was bigger than fighting a Void Creature. It was better of them to focus on the void creature and farm more credits.
"No, we can't certainly kill Count Fountanella right now. That will alarm the army and the rebels. It's too risky if they change their plan at this mont and delay the rebellion. We need to find who holds the summoning scroll first, then we can get rid of Count Fountanella."
Khaya turned toward Salia, "Have you found the scroll, Salia?"
The female Junior Administrator shook her head, "I have looked at Count Fountanella's office, and I can't find any scrolls related to summoning. Count Fountanella may have given the scrolls to his secret soldiers."
It was one day away from the revolutionary move led by Duke Amalric. It was not a surprise if the scroll was already in soone else's hand. With so little ti, it would be hard to identify Count Fountanella's force amidst the rebel army.
Khaya then turned toward Arsus, "We will not let them summon the void creature. We must kill the person who has the scroll before that person can summon anything. If they manage to summon a strong void creature that we can't beat, then we are done for! We finish our task as quick as possible, then we will move to assist Tang Shaoyang if he ever needs an assistance!"
"How strong could it be when The Reds team could finish the previous mission in less than an hour? We…"
Arsus stopped as Khaya glared at him. He clicked his tongue, "I understand, Captain!"

Tang Shaoyang remained in the base. There was no need for him to move to a new place when everything was good at this place. He had his shadows on Arkir all the ti, two of them. He did not need to worry about losing his target. Arkir was doing his normal routine as The Royal Family's head butler. As if he knew nothing about what would happen tomorrow.
There were no strange people making contact with him. He expected soone from Void Cult to try to et him, but there was no one.
The last shadow was following King Sebastia all the ti. In case the Void Cult made contact with him. However, The Void Cult did not show up even though tomorrow was the day for summoning.
While no one approached Arkir and King Sebastia, however, he had sneaky guests coming to his building tonight.
