Chapter 35
The battle lasted for two hours, and it was Stardragon's most successful operation to date; not only did they destroy an entire Germinal base, they also managed to collect large amounts of data . The top brass in Division 13 were pleased, and it wouldn't have been possible without Han Xiao's intel .
However, Han Xiao's past and the Blackstar issue remained a mystery as the information that Lin Yao had collected naturally had no mention of them—the Blackstar message log was fabricated, while the Valkyrie experiments were top secret .
Back at headquarters, Li Ya Lin reluctantly returned the Lightweight Mechanical Arm .
"Was the mechanical arm useful?" her superior asked .
Li Ya Lin nodded .
"It's all thanks to it that our mission was a success . Who created it?"
"That, I can't tell you . "
Ya Lin's eyes sparkled .
"That will depend on the higher-ups . "
Li Ya Lin gave up with harassing her tight-lipped superior and headed to the logistics department to look for Luo Xuan .
The covert-ops insignia on her chest ensured her smooth passage, ignoring the ongoing commotion caused by her very presence .
Although all the departments in Division 13 were equal in status, the covert-ops department was full of beautiful wom—cough—elite agents, so they were looked up to by all the other departments .
Li Ya Lin suddenly turned around to the crowd following her and loudly declared, "I'm looking for Luo Xuan . "
Everyone looked towards Luo Xuan enviously, singling him out .
Is secret-ops here to recruit me? he wondered .
Suppressing his excitement, he answered, "I am Luo Xuan . How should I address you?"
"Li Ya Lin . "
"What can I help you with?" asked Luo Xuan .
"Are you the one who invented that mechanical arm?"
Mechanical arm? Luo Xuan immediately thought of the Lightweight Mechanical Arm that had caused him to lose face .
Could it have malfunctioned? Luo Xuan celebrated inwardly .
"Was there some kind of problem?" he asked with a straight face .
"Nothing like that . I just found it very useful . I want to make a personal order . "
Luo Xuan froze in embarrassment as snickers broke out in the crowd—he had been ranting loudly about how worthless he thought the mechanical arm was to the whole department .
"I didn't invent it," he replied with a forced smile .
"Then say so earlier! What a waste of my time . "
Luo Xuan's face darkened .
Suddenly, Feng Jun, who had been passing by, came over and said, "The inventor's identity is top secret . Please refrain from guessing or discussing it . "
Li Yan Lin was startled . Top secret?
As the crowd dispersed, all Luo Xuan could think about was the threat that this mysterious mechanic posed to him .
"I will not let him have a good time if he joins the logistics department!"
. . .
Elsewhere in a secret facility .
"Boss, base 45 has been destroyed . "
"By whom?"
"Stardragon . "
"How did they learn of our base‽"
"Not sure . "
