Chapter 884: Fallen Zones (2)
She had attended several core meetings at the Xiao Kuang Legion’s central military command. The commander himself had summoned her and repeatedly stressed Li Xiaofei’s importance in private. He had left strict orders that Li Xiaofei should not be allowed to take any risky actions under any circumstances.
If even headquarters was this adamant... Who could possibly overturn the decisions of those old men with a single phone call?
Li Xiaofei raised an eyebrow and said playfully, “But what if?”
“There is no what-if,” Xiao Shi said firmly.
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Liu Shaji swaggered back in, his gait full of arrogance and a distinct don’t-know-you energy.
“Little girl, consider today a lesson: show some respect to your elders,” he said smugly.
Xiao Shi sneered and opened her mouth to retort. But before she could say a word, Mi Youyin let out a sudden gasp. Without explanation, she handed over the encrypted light core communicator she had been holding.
Xiao Shi glanced at it absentmindedly, and then her expression changed dramatically. A moment later, disbelief flooded her sharp, beautiful eyes. She stared at the screen for a long, long time before finally looking up. Her gaze landed onto Liu Shaji, as if she were trying to see through his very soul, her heart brimming with unanswered questions.
Headquarters had just issued new orders. Xiao Shi’s Battle Division was now to fully cooperate with Li Xiaofei’s operation. In other words, those old, unshakable commanders at central command had suddenly done a complete about-face, revoking the previous strict directive and authorizing Li Xiaofei to enter the spatial anchor.
Why the sudden change? There could only be one explanation. This roguish, unkempt man... had actually made a call, and it had worked.
But now, a new question loomed. Who was he? What kind of influence did he hold to make the unmovable move?
Though countless questions swirled in her mind, Xiao Shi didn’t ask any of them.
