Chapter 542: 360, Real vs Fake Knight Thief, Mr. X walked into a trap_3

Part Two.

Nowadays, the power figures at the top of the Federation, including the Grand Commander, have all undergone the life-extension ceremony at the Mount of Gods, significantly prolonging their lifespans.

And each life-extension ceremony consumes at least dozens of human sacrifices, sometimes even hundreds.

All these human sacrifices come from human trafficking networks.

The bigwigs of the Federation all want to live longer; how could they tolerate anyone recklessly interfering with their gangs?

Kurt understood this very well, which is why he warned his subordinates not to cause trouble.

Part Three.

Certain powerful figures have all sorts of connections with gangs, who have done quite a bit of dirty work for them.

For instance, if some ignorant fool exposes the dirty deeds of a powerful figure on social platforms.

It would be inconvenient for the figure to deal with such a person directly, so they would instruct the gang to make the person disappear completely.

Or if a certain power figure has a penchant for young girls, the gang would get a batch of pretty young girls for the figure’s use at any time.

In the past year or so, Kurt had heard too many similar stories.

The more this high official knew, the more he understood that the gangs couldn’t be meddled with recklessly, or else he would be in deep trouble.

At this point.

Kurt cleared his throat and concluded, "Based on the existing intelligence, it’s basically confirmed that Lady Kalaya should be the mastermind behind the monster attacks."

No one in the meeting disagreed.

Kurt continued, "Mount of Gods is handling the monster situation; they’ve deployed over two hundred modified weapons, and the Federation Military is also involved, so we don’t need to worry too much.

"Our main task is to find Lady Kalaya. Creating monsters must serve some unspeakable agenda.

"If we don’t quickly deal with Lady Kalaya, she will undoubtedly create even more trouble, and then JICA will also suffer."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lady Kalaya being a part of JICA means that the longer she survives, the harder it gets for JICA.

Kurt paused and presented a plan: "We absolutely can’t drag this out. Please contact Mr. X!"

"Understood!"

Ten minutes later.

Fifteen hundred kilometers away.

Nebra City.

"Buzz~"

Mr. X lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, sensing the vibration of the monocular telescope again, and couldn’t help but curse, "Sh*t!"

Just moments ago, by consecutively using Satellite Star Power, he traced back to the true form of the monsters, and transmitted the image remotely to White Stone City, consuming a great deal of spiritual power, causing his head to ache progressively more.

Now, White Stone City called again, and he truly didn’t want to respond, just wishing to rest for a while.

But eventually, Mr. X sighed, sat up with some difficulty, and reached for the monocular telescope.

He had no choice.

Recently, in studying Great Xia’s culture, he had come across a saying that goes, "To take, one must first give."

The meaning is that to gain, one must first pay an appropriate price.

If he wanted wealth, power, and women from the Federation’s authorities, he had to help them solve problems.

Mr. X took a breath and asked with a deep voice, "What is it?"

He saw through the telescope that the contact in White Stone City wasn’t the military officer, but a middle-aged man.

Mr. X was a bit surprised and muttered to himself, "Why is it someone from JICA?"

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Honorable Mr. X, my name is Patrick. JICA needs your help. Here’s the situation..."

Patrick spent two minutes explaining the situation quickly.

X felt a bit speechless.

They’re asking me to find an old woman? This, too, requires my help?

Patrick was quite astute: "Mr. X, we’ve prepared an ’Eden’ VIP card for you, with 1 million credit points as your reward."

X was immediately tempted.

He naturally knew that the so-called "Eden" was a trading platform established by the Mount of Gods.

This platform wasn’t open to ordinary people; its members were either powerful figures or superpower users wielding supernatural powers.

Almost anything could be found in Eden. You could buy materials unavailable on the market or various kinds of weapons and equipment; even women could be purchased.

A young, beautiful blonde, professionally trained, usually priced between 100,000 to 150,000 credit points, could perform any task for her owner.

JICA’s offer of 1 million credit points was quite sincere.

However, the trade of people was restricted, requiring special permissions for purchase.

Mr. X didn’t respond immediately, deliberately waited for two seconds, pretending to consider, and then replied, "Okay, I’ll take action!"

Patrick expressed gratitude: "Thank you very much for your assistance."

Mr. X put forward another request: "I need an item that Lady Kalaya uses daily, like a bag she carries with her, or a watch."

Patrick asked, "Would a gold pen that Lady Kalaya frequently uses in her office suffice?"

Mr. X responded, "That will do!"

Soon.

The gold pen was handed over.

Mr. X held the monocular telescope with both hands, aiming it at the ceiling above.

The telescope buzzed a few times, and his pupils emitted a faint light.

In the next moment.

Mr. X saw a strange image.

A somewhat graceful figure, completely bare, wearing a shimmering golden mask, stood in utter darkness. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

This peculiar look made him take several more glances.

For a woman over fifty, her figure was remarkably well-maintained, leaving him quite surprised.

The most extraordinary part was that Mr. X could only sense that the person was hidden at JICA Headquarters, not far from the monocular telescope, yet he couldn’t lock onto the exact location.

At this moment.

Mr. X suddenly felt dizzy, the headache intensifying.

The illusion vanished.

"Hiss!"

He couldn’t help but cry out in pain and hurriedly put down the telescope.

It took Mr. X a while to recover before reconnecting with JICA Headquarters.

With a peculiar expression, he said, "I saw the target, she’s wearing a golden mask."

Patrick was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the golden mask look like?"

Mr. X briefly described it.

Patrick shouted in shock: "That’s the golden mask Councillor Alfred lost; so Lady Kalaya is the Knight Thief from White Stone City!"

X was slightly surprised as well.

He had heard of the name Knight Thief.

In recent months, a master thief called the "Knight Thief" had appeared in the Capital White Stone City.

This person never targeted ordinary people but specifically stole from the homes of aristocrats and high officials.

This Knight Thief had committed multiple crimes, and the Federation authorities were completely powerless against them, highlighting the thief’s sophistication.

On the other hand.

A hidden worry deep in Mr. X’s heart vanished completely.

He had always been concerned that the Great Xia Spirit Crow might get involved, using this as an opportunity to locate his hideout.

But the Knight Thief likely had nothing to do with the Great Xia Spirit Crow.

Because the Knight Thief’s first crime occurred a full four or five months before the Great Xia Spirit Crow began pursuing him.

Patrick’s tone turned excited: "Mr. X, please be sure to help find Lady Kalaya, and we will definitely provide more rewards afterward."

Mr. X naturally had no objections: "Of course!"

East Fifth District.

At the moment Mr. X observed the golden mask.

Yang Fan immediately sensed it.

Because he was the real Knight Thief, and he had mischievously tampered with the golden mask before handing it to Zhang Hehua.

Standing by the window, he looked up at the sky, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Mr. X, it seems you’ve fallen into the trap."

The power of the Satellite Star Formation had yet to fade.

This indicated that Mr. X had completely let down his guard.

The time to close the net had finally arrived.
