This time, the "Star Weavers" are representing the outpost. If anything goes wrong, they will definitely be the ones to take the blame.
No matter how much you hold the rank-and-file employee accountable afterward, it won't make up for the loss.
"Fine, you've got guts!"
The Starweaver's squad leader blushed as he considered all these matters, only to find that he really didn't know what to do with this guy.
In the end, he could only utter a few meaningless harsh words before ordering his men to help the young executive officer lying in the corner out of the room.
"We'll see. You'd better pray you don't end up in my hands!"
"See? After slandering them, they still use vicious words to threaten their fellow members of the Chamber of Commerce."
Ye Xiao held up the photo crystal and turned to the guard captain beside him, "I've taken pictures of everything. Now I'll rely on you as my witness, Captain."
"Regarding conflicts between guests, we can only try our best to mediate while adhering to the principle of neutrality..."
The guard captain was covered in sweat; he really wanted to beg this guy not to get involved.
"Just be neutral, just state everything you see neutrally."
Ye Xiao didn't forget to turn the photo crystal towards the guard captain and take a picture.
"Don't, don't, don't..."
The captain of the guard hurriedly covered his face with his hands. It was pitiful that this grown man had to act like a shy, delicate flower at this moment.
"What bad luck!"
The room finally returned to peace as the Starweavers and their executives stormed out, cursing and swearing.
"We apologize for taking up so much of your time. We'll take our leave now and wish you a pleasant banquet."
The captain of the guards, wanting nothing more to do with Ye Xiao, led his men and fled the room as fast as they could.
"Tsk tsk, resorting to underhanded tactics, still needs more practice."
Ye Xiao casually tossed the photo crystal in her hand twice, watched the door close, then turned around and flung open the curtains.
"Boss, everyone's gone, so don't cower there anymore."
"Eh!?"
The orange-haired girl, who was crouching outside the window, immediately looked surprised. "How could you spot me like that?!"
"You made quite a commotion."
Ye Xiao waved his hand, "Why are you here instead of keeping a close eye on Deborah and the others?"
"I was worried that you might have run into trouble since you haven't been back for so long."
Miss Mofeng put her hands on her hips and said, "Who knew you could knock out someone else's executive officer, little brother?"
"That has nothing to do with me. She herself doesn't know what illness she has."
Ye Xiao shrugged.
Now that Miss Mofeng has arrived, it's not easy for him to get some sensitive topics out of Raymond.
"Anyway, this is a great opportunity, little brother!"
Miss Mofeng leaned against the window, "The leader of those Starweavers is down, why don't we take this opportunity to find out what they're up to..."
"Forehead?"
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "That's unnecessary. It's not our mission."
"Of course it's necessary! Those Starweavers are acting suspiciously; they're clearly up to no good. With Miss Luo gone, the future of the outpost must be protected by us!"
“What I see in your eyes is not ‘protection’.”
Looking at the girl's excited, shining eyes, Ye Xiao felt a few black lines appear on his forehead.
"So, what do you think? Should we give it a try?"
"Um……"
Ye Xiao glanced back at Raymond, who was lying on the chair drooling, then looked back at the girl. After a moment, he finally managed a slight smile.
"Come in and tell me in detail."
……
As an undercover agent, Ye Xiao was naturally happy to investigate the secret plans of other departments in the company.
Raymond was just a squad leader with limited information, while the matter that these Starweavers wanted to discuss with Duke Tyron must be of great importance.
Miss Maple's idea was actually not complicated. She would take advantage of the time when the executive officer Astra was unconscious to pull off a switcheroo, having them impersonate Astra and go to meet Duke Tyrone with the Starweavers team.
At that time, the Star Weavers will be able to know and control what the Star Weavers want to talk about, and even the direction of the negotiations.
However, it must be said that this plan was indeed quite audacious. Ye Xiao had seen Miss Mo Feng's illusion magic before. Although it could indeed be very realistic in appearance, Ye Xiao was still quite doubtful whether she could completely conceal her true intentions in terms of demeanor and abilities.
Another problem is what if Astra wakes up? She can't stay unconscious forever. If she suddenly wakes up while discussing things with Duke Tyran, that would be bad.
Miss Maple's solution was to simply "throw" Astra out.
Literally, throw him out, toss him into the lower city, then set up an illusion barrier. By the time he wakes up and understands the situation, it will be too late for him to come back.
It has to be said that Ye Xiao felt that the company had really struck gold by hiring Miss Mo Feng, a genius of ideas.
Unfortunately, perhaps because she lacked a partner who could keep up with her pace in the past, her talent was buried. But now that Ye Xiao has infiltrated the company, the two have hit it off and can finally do something for the company.
"Aren't you afraid she'll retaliate?"
"She has no evidence to prove that we were behind this. If she dares to confront us, Miss Guardian of the Moon will protect us."
Mo Feng raised an eyebrow.
After discussing it, the two went back to find Da Shan and Mu Anzhe and persuaded them to join the plan.
Da Shan was honest and simple. Even though he realized that doing so might not be appropriate, he was eventually swayed by Miss Mo Feng's twisted logic and won her over.
Deborah and Doma were unaware of the intricacies between the company's departments, and they believed Miss Mofeng when she said it was an important mission that required their help.
As for Raymond, who was still peacefully drooling in the lounge, he was probably already destined to suffer a heart attack.
Chapter 128 The Real and Fake Executives
Ye Xiao and his group moved swiftly, and in no time at all, they found a place in the mansion where the Starweavers team would rest.
Inside the room, the captain of the Starweaver squad was pacing back and forth, arms crossed, looking agitated.
"Captain, I reported to the supervisor, and she said she couldn't do anything about it and could only wait for Lady Astra to wake up on her own."
"That's really strange."
The squad leader grabbed a handful of hair. "What method did they use to knock Lord Astra unconscious?!"
Executives, a rank within the company second only to the gods, are mostly not ordinary humans.
Those in this position are often subordinate gods under the command of the supreme god, whose power is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
But this very Star Weaver, whom they could only look up to in ordinary times, was now sleeping unconscious in a corner like a dead pig.
"But the scheduled time is fast approaching, Captain, what should we do?"
A teammate asked with some concern.
"...Let me ask someone to tell you that it will be delayed a little."
The man referred to as the captain was also helpless, saying, "Without Lord Astra, the meeting cannot take place."
"dong dong dong"
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The team member leaning against the door casually opened it, only to see a burly servant walk in, looking somewhat flustered. "Um, are these some guests from the company?"
"what's up?"
"A customer complained to us that someone claiming to be under the company's Star Weavers was acting drunk and disorderly,"
The servant scratched his head. "He also seems to be harassing the noble ladies in the courtyard, causing a lot of trouble for many guests."
"We are partners with your company, and we are hesitant to take any rash action against those people. What do you think..."
"No way??? That guy must be fucking insane!!!"
Before the attendant could finish speaking, the squad leader's anger flared up instantly.
Suddenly, the image of the drunken red-haired mage Raymond popped into his mind. He didn't know what those spies belonging to the Moon Watchers were up to, but the idea sounded incredibly abstract.
Internal strife aside, shouldn't everyone at least maintain a respectable facade?
What are they doing now? Just to disgust them, they're resorting to any means necessary, have they no shame at all?
Duke Tyron would never want to hear that any member of his negotiating team would harass his guests. Even with his excellent manners, the captain couldn't help but sit up and rush to the door.
"Take us there quickly!!"
However, he wasn't completely out of his mind; he left one of his team members behind to take care of the unconscious Astra.
The group had only been gone a short while when the remaining members suddenly noticed some pink smoke drifting in through the crack in the door.
"What is that...?"
Before he could react, he suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and after swaying a couple of times, he collapsed to the ground.
Then the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a tall, thin man and an orange-haired girl swaggered in.
"Can your sleeping spell also work on the person lying in bed?"
Ye Xiao pointed at Astra with his thumb, "This way we can buy more time."
"Targets of higher realms generally have high mental resistance; I haven't tried using sleep magic on a target of the Executor level yet,"
Miss Mofeng scratched her head, "I can only say I'll try my best."
After saying that, she took out a large bag of powder from her pocket, pried open the mouth of the petite girl lying on the bed, and poured it into her mouth.
"No, you... I just wanted to ask if we could extend the time a bit. Pouring this much will kill people, won't it?"
Ye Xiao's eyes widened. He had just seen this thing blow a little bit through the crack in the door and knock out the member who was left behind. And this wave that went into Astra's mouth must have weighed five or six pounds.
"It's alright, you have to believe that the physical condition of the executive officers is much stronger than that of us humans."
Miss Mofeng emptied the entire sack and thoughtfully lifted Astra's upper body slightly to make it easier for her to swallow the powder.
Although the scene wasn't particularly bloody, Ye Xiao found it inexplicably shocking to watch.
After doing all this, Miss Mofeng carried Astra on her back. "I'll carry her out. Now it's up to you, little brother."
"Okay... wait a minute??"
Ye Xiao raised his hand. "Shouldn't I be carrying this, boss?"
"We need to take her outside and set up an illusionary barrier to trap her,"
Miss Mofeng tilted her head. "Little brother, can you set up an illusion barrier?"
"Um, won't a regular magic sealing barrier work?"
"Her cultivation level is too high. The sealing barrier we set up would probably be broken in two seconds. Only by using a deceptive magic array to fool her can we buy some time."
"In battles against opponents of higher levels, deceptive magic arrays are indeed more effective...but..."
Ye Xiao gestured with his hands, "If you leave, who will play this guy?"
"You."
Miss Mofeng replied matter-of-factly, "Oh, are you perhaps worried that my illusion disguise will be seen through? Don't worry, as long as I'm not touched..."
"Wait, so I'm supposed to dress up???"
Ye Xiao spread his hands towards Astra, who was perched on Mo Feng's back, "I'm 1.8 meters tall, you know?? I don't even know if this girl is 1.5 meters tall, how could I possibly play this guy???"
"These are minor issues in the face of illusion projections; just be careful not to get touched."
After speaking, Miss Mofeng raised her hand as if grabbing a handful of dust from thin air and tossed it toward Ye Xiao.
A wisp of pink crystal dust drifted down from above Ye Xiao's head, distorting the light around him as if an unusual disturbance was occurring, causing the colors of people and scenery to dissolve together.
A short while later, the light in the field of vision returned to normal, and Ye Xiao's originally tall and thin figure was no longer visible. Standing in the same spot was a short girl with light golden curly hair.
"What just happened?"
