Chapter 70: Future Plans
"Star Nation Elite Soldiers?!"
Jinx exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the two armored figures who had just materialized before them.
"Okay... Don’t get me annoyed. Come out!" Sunny’s voice was low, laced with a chilling intent that promised grave consequences.
"Huh?"
"...?!!"
Jinx and the two soldiers were visibly stunned by Sunny’s unexpected command.
Ellen, however, calmly turned her gaze towards the distant city wall. There, a third figure, clad in the identical, sleek armor, stood perched, armed with a formidable red grand-class sniper rifle.
The figure, without hesitation, placed the massive rifle behind her back and leaped gracefully from the 50-foot wall, landing with remarkable lightness on her feet. She then began to walk, with an unhurried, purposeful stride, towards Sunny and his group. She stopped directly in front of them, her posture radiating quiet confidence.
"Why are you here?" Sunny asked, his tone remarkably calm, betraying no hint of his earlier veiled threat.
"Her." The lady responded simply, raising a hand to tap the circular, purple object embedded in her chest plate. With a soft whirring sound, her armored helmet retracted, revealing a cascade of long black hair and a pair of piercing, dark eyes. She was human.
The other two armored figures behind her followed suit, their helmets retracting to reveal the distinctive, elegant features of elves.
"Elite-class armors... You guys are the elite soldiers of the Star Nation. Why are you after her?" Sunny inquired, feigning ignorance, though his eyes held a calculating glint.
