"Why are you here?"

Ruoning frowned as she stared at the figure shrouded in a black cloak ahead. It was none other than Ling, the mysterious man who had previously summoned the fleet for Hua Ye.

“Dear Ms. Ruoning, you need not be surprised by my appearance, after all, we are everywhere.”

Ling bowed gracefully, his movements completely natural, as if it were a natural thing for him.

"Everywhere?"

Ruoning murmured to herself, her pupils involuntarily contracting as she considered a possibility: could it be that her and Hua Ye's disguise had been discovered?

However, she quickly recovered. Since the guy in front of her said so, there was no need to hide their pretense anymore. Perhaps it would be better this way.

Taking a deep breath to calm her turbulent emotions, she said with a serious expression:

“Speak! What brings you here this time? Hua Ye isn’t here, so we don’t need to put on airs.”

"Haha, Ms. Ruoning, there's no need to be so wary. We have no ill intentions toward King Hua Ye or you."

Ling explained with a smile, but Ruoning could tell that Ling no longer showed the same respect he had when facing Hua Ye before, or perhaps he no longer wanted to pretend, which was why he said that.

"Hmph, who knows what your purpose is? You've gone to such lengths to support Hua Ye and even prepared this place. Did you expect us to deal with Angel Yan all along?"

"Hmm! They're probably trying to lead us to deal with Angel Yan. It seems you're even more eager than we are to destroy the Angel Civilization! Is there some hidden secret?"

She preferred not to fall for their act; these guys were too mysterious and unpredictable, and she didn't know whether cooperating with them would be a blessing or a curse for Hua Ye.

"Hmm! It seems you've misunderstood us a bit! In that case, how about we help you out again this time? What do you say, Ms. Ruoning?"

Zero felt no shame or annoyance at being exposed. To them, nothing in this universe mattered, whether material or spiritual, and was utterly unattractive.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Hearing this, Ruoning became interested, wondering how these mysterious guys would help her.

Seeing Ruoning's reaction, Zero, this mysterious fellow, finally spoke:

"According to our investigation, Angel Yan has now upgraded to a divine body and successfully mastered the sacred knowledge treasury. It will be quite difficult for you to deal with her, even if you use the God-Slaying Weapon."

And you should know that Angel Yan is now surrounded not only by some modern angels, but also by some angels from her own time, such as your apprentice Angel Leng. With her abilities, apart from you, none of your subordinates have the power to resist her.

Even the thousand or so people we have now are just a bunch of scattered soldiers. I believe you yourself have already stated their specific combat strength. Otherwise, we wouldn't have used them as bait. They are simply of no value whatsoever.

Not to mention, her Skyblade Series VII combat celestial body is right beside her. Against such a lineup, you have absolutely no hope of victory; you'll only be slaughtered.

Zero's words made Ruoning's face turn extremely ugly. She said angrily and embarrassedly:

"If that's the case, then why did you make us come all this way? Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to kill me and control Hua Ye?"

Ruoning couldn't help but think this way. Even though Zero hadn't said how he would help them, Ruoning could guess the outcome based on what he had said.

There was absolutely no need to carry out this operation; I had been too simplistic in my thinking beforehand.

Furthermore, Zero's repeated challenges to her patience are pushing her to the limit.

Since that's the case, he might as well quit and run away with Hua Ye. Anyway, with Glenn around, the chances of them achieving their ambitions are extremely slim.

Ruoning's words did not prompt Zero to take any action; their goal was not as simple as undermining their strength.

His expression, hidden in the darkness, was unclear, but his tone remained completely calm.

He gently comforted Ruoning, saying:

"Ms. Ruoning, there's no need to be so nervous. Now that we know the details of the angels, we're confident that we can help you. After all, you don't know our methods, do you?"

At this moment, Ruoning had an urge to make a move. Why did this guy talk so much? Couldn't he just say it all at once?

She said in an unfriendly tone:

"Speak your mind, or shut up. I don't have time to listen to your rambling."

This time, Zero didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said directly:

"In this operation, we will help you hold back Angel Yan and her Skyblade VII. As for your beloved disciple and those sacred wings, that's up to you."

Of course, we can only stall her for a while. As for killing her? To be frank, we cannot reveal our existence at this time.

As for how to stall Angel Yan, I don't need to explain that to you, do I?

Zero's words made Ruoning fall into deep thought as she considered the feasibility of taking action.

After a moment, she looked up and faced Zero directly, then solemnly said:

"I hope you keep your word. I don't want to be attacked from both sides while we're fighting."

"Please rest assured, our reputation is still guaranteed. After all, we have fulfilled all your previous requests."

Zero said, offering a guarantee.

"That's good."

Ruoning had nothing to say about this; everything would become clear once the battle began.

Before that, she needed to consider her course of action. She couldn't just rush in headfirst and do it recklessly; that would be tantamount to suicide.

Seeing that Ruoning had no interest in chatting anymore, Ling took the initiative to leave:

"Then, Ms. Ruoning, I won't bother you any longer. You just need to fight to your heart's content. Leave Angel Yan and her Skyblade No. 7 to us!"

Oh! Right, I forgot to tell you something. The coordinates here have been exposed. You'd better consider whether to use this information for your next move. After all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. Although I left some items on those stragglers, it may not be the key to victory.

After saying that, Zero vanished into nothingness within the room without even a trace of energy fluctuation.

Ruoning watched helplessly as Zero disappeared, still feeling utterly astonished.

"Something? What is it? It's all so mysterious. But why can't I sense any spatial fluctuations? It doesn't seem like some kind of spatial teleportation technology was used. This is truly unbelievable!"

After thinking for a while, Ruoning sat down and directly dialed the communications of those scumbags.

Then, a series of noises mixed with wails came through the communication, which made Ruoning frown.

He then asked directly:

What's going on over there?

"Oh! Sis, just a routine check, to teach them the rules, hehehe!"

One of the scumbags seemed a little excited and couldn't help but laugh, though his laughter was somewhat licentious.

Hearing this, Ruoning said something with some dissatisfaction and then hung up the call.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Send the word down and get ready to leave. This place might have been exposed. We need to give those little angels a surprise, let's set off some fireworks for them."

As Ruoning finished speaking, the entire base began to evacuate, and during the evacuation, they did not forget to set up a self-destruct program.

Once the angels arrive, Ruoning will give them an unforgettable greeting.
