Chapter 46 Ensuring Safety
“Caesar, you must ensure the interests of the family. Rune data is crucial to the future balance of power.”
This was a family order, but Caesar was torn. On one hand, he had to fulfill his family's demands; on the other hand, he was unwilling to betray the Academy and his comrades. This dual mission made every step he took incredibly stressful.
The four-person team entered the academy's core research area, a crucial place for storing rune technology, which almost no student could approach.
The surrounding silence made the air feel particularly oppressive. Chu Zihang quickly analyzed the situation and issued an order: "The defense system here is more complex than we expected, which means the Secret Service is also strengthening its protection. Tian, you are in charge of reconnaissance. Caesar and Lu Mingfei will come with me to ensure that no enemy approaches the core area."
Tian nodded slightly, a faint light flashing in his golden eyes. His steps were as light as a falcon's, and he quickly blended into the darkness.
Caesar's heart tightened. He knew that his keen intuition prevented him from acting rashly. Even if he had the opportunity, he had to be extremely careful to conceal his actions, otherwise, once discovered, the consequences would be irreversible.
As they ventured deeper into the research institute, the surrounding silence was gradually broken by the faint hum of the system, and a data terminal in the distance flashed a red light.
Caesar's gaze casually swept over the terminal devices; those data entry points connecting to the rune core were exactly what the family needed. If he could find an opportunity during the operation, he could copy this data and send it back to the family.
"The damn opportunity is right in front of me, but I can't show any weakness in front of Chu Zihang." Caesar quickly calculated in his mind, but his hands still firmly gripped the gun, maintaining a calm demeanor.
Just as Caesar was pondering, an alarm suddenly sounded, the laboratory lights instantly turned a blinding red, and the system emitted a sharp alarm.
"Intrusion!" Tian Leng coldly shouted, quickly cocking his dual pistols. A sharp glint flashed in his golden eyes. "This is an operation against the Camarilla. Someone is trying to steal rune data!"
Chu Zihang immediately drew his knife, his gaze cold and resolute: "Caesar, Lu Mingfei, guard the entrance! We must protect these documents; no one is allowed to approach!"
Caesar's heart raced. The family's spies had clearly taken action, attempting to hack into the system and acquire the Camarilla's runic technology.
"Damn it, how did the family act so quickly?" Caesar was anxious, but he couldn't show any signs of distress. Although the enemy was sent by the family, he had to stand on the academy's side and protect the data, otherwise he would expose himself.
The enemy poured in from the perimeter of the research institute and quickly seized several key points, their runic weapons gleaming with a dark light.
These traitors were clearly highly trained and well-equipped, and obviously had a thorough understanding of the academy's defense systems. Their objective was very clear: these runic data.
"Quick, stop them!" Chu Zihang rushed forward without hesitation, the blade flashing rapidly in his hand, slashing directly at the enemy's attack points. Every swing was incredibly precise, striking the enemy's vitals.
Tianze quickly provided support, his twin pistols flashing like meteors in his hands, the bullets accurately striking the enemies trying to approach the rune core.
“They clearly know the location of the runes; this isn’t an ordinary intrusion,” Tian calmly analyzed, his twin pistols spinning nimbly in his hands, firing bullets in rapid succession and taking down several enemies.
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Caesar used both pistols to repel several approaching enemies, but his gaze remained fixed on the terminal equipment in the research lab.
The family was clearly trying to obtain the rune data, and Caesar had to find an opportunity to help them complete their mission without letting Chu Zihang and Tian find out. He quickly weighed his options and looked for an opportunity.
The battle intensified, with seemingly endless enemies attempting to ever approach the rune core. While fighting, Caesar stealthily made his way to the terminal.
Under enemy cover, he swiftly inserted a small data storage device into the terminal and quickly retrieved the data. His fingers flew across the keyboard, and his heart pounded.
"As long as I can complete the data extraction, I can bring back crucial intelligence for the family," Caesar told himself, reminding himself to remain calm. However, the moment he finished extracting the data, a pair of cold eyes fixed on him.
"Caesar?" Tian's voice suddenly rang out. He stood behind Caesar, his golden eyes flashing with a cold light. "What are you doing?"
Caesar froze abruptly, a flicker of panic crossing his mind, but he maintained a calm smile on his face: "I'm ensuring the safety of the data."
He spoke in a relaxed tone, trying to convince Tian that he was carrying out the academy's mission.
Tian's gaze shifted between Caesar and the terminal device. Although he did not directly question Caesar, his sharp gaze made Caesar feel immense pressure.
"Ensure safety?" Tian said in a low voice, a hint of doubt in his tone, but he did not ask any further questions and turned back to continue fighting.
Caesar secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly putting away the data storage device in his hand. He knew that although the operation had been successful, Heaven had begun to suspect him, and he must be more cautious in the future.
As the battle reached its climax, the four-person team finally repelled the invaders, and the rune data was protected.
Chu Zihang calmly surveyed the battlefield, and after confirming that all enemies had been repelled, he nodded slightly: "Data intact, mission complete."
Caesar's heart was still pounding, and his inner struggle was intensifying.
Although he successfully completed the family's mission, the sky
His growing awareness made him realize that he couldn't hide forever. If he continued to act this way, his teammates would eventually discover his true intentions.
That night, Caesar returned to his dormitory, his phone flashing with encrypted messages from his family: "Data received, well done. Continue to maintain your dual identity and gather more intelligence."
Caesar closed his phone, his heart growing heavier. Orders from his family were mounting, yet the academy's trust prevented him from betraying them. The pressure from both sides weighed on his mind like a boulder, forcing him to make a choice.
"How much longer can I go on this road?" Caesar muttered to himself, gazing at the darkness outside the window, his inner struggle growing more intense.
He knew that the conflict between his family and the academy would only escalate, and that he would ultimately be unable to maintain a balance between the two. But he could still buy time until the final decision arrived.
In this struggle, every step Caesar took was fraught with danger, and every wavering brought him one step closer to that inevitable end.
The Kassel College remained quiet at night, but Caesar's heart was in turmoil.
He sat by the dormitory window, phone in hand, having just finished contacting his family. The flickering light on the screen felt like an invisible hand, dragging him deeper into the mire. The mission was complete, but the burden on his heart grew heavier. His family's orders were becoming increasingly complex, demanding he gather more intelligence from within the academy, while the academy's trust only intensified his guilt. The pressure of his dual identity was almost suffocating.
"Mission accomplished, rune data obtained. Continue to maintain your identity at the academy to ensure we can obtain more intelligence in a timely manner."
The family's encrypted messages flashed across the screen, concise and cold, as if he were merely a tool that could be replaced at any time. He knew the Gattuso family would never give him any chance to relax; as the family heir, he had to act for the family's future, whatever that meant.
Caesar gazed silently out the window, the images of today's battle flashing through his mind.
The enemy poured in from all sides, gunfire, explosions, and alarms mingling together, making his heart race. He had to remain calm amidst the chaos, searching for an opportunity to cover his family's operation. Tian's cold, sharp gaze, Chu Zihang's decisive command, and Lu Mingfei's anxiety and confusion all flashed before his eyes.
Recalling that glance from the sky, Caesar's heart tightened.
