"You want to expose this to everyone outside of Class 6?" Lin Yin didn't dwell on it too much. She knew Lawrence was deliberately doing it for her sake, not wanting to disappoint him, but she didn't take the blame before he could speak. She lowered her voice and asked in confusion, "Or do you think that Class 6 isn't enough for you?"

Lawrence's smug satisfaction lasted less than two seconds before he heard Lin Yin's next words. He froze, his first instinct being to look around. Finding no one watching him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief before remembering to explain, "Of course I didn't mean that, I was just looking."

"Really? That's good. I misunderstood." Lin Yin didn't call her out.

"... Of course." Aside from an awkward laugh, Lawrence couldn't utter a single word he had prepared.

"Team leader, I've taken a closer look at my assigned location, and it connects to a place you're going to." The other members of Lin Yin's team, excited to have found an infiltration point that would make their work much easier, eagerly approached Lin Yin for cooperation. "Look at this..."

Lin Yin immediately understood what her team member meant when she saw what he was pointing to. "You mean I should start here first, and then get permission to enter and pass through here, so you can do me a favor?"

"Otherwise, it would still have to be my team leader!" Sun Gan exclaimed in a fawning tone, needing someone's help. "That's impressive, so team leader, is this feasible?"

Lawrence was about to say something when he heard Lin Yin respond to Sun Gan.

"Alright." Lin Yin nodded, marking a point on her Optical Brain as the entrance for this trip. She looked around; she could enter from anywhere, and it would be best to make it convenient for her classmates. "Sit down, let's think about it and check it out."

"Okay! Thank you, team leader." Sun Gan then noticed Lawrence next to him and said apologetically, "Excuse me, could you move your chair so we can talk more properly?"

Lawrence's lips twitched. "... Fine, you're quick on the uptake."

As they had privately guessed before, each group was still centered around its 'group leader'. The group leader's location was connected to the reconnaissance points assigned to his group members, which was why he immediately went to Lin Yin's side.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yin knew exactly what he meant, but instead of acknowledging it, she gave the opportunity to Sun Gan, who came after her.

Realizing that Lin Yin couldn't approach the issue from two angles at once, Lawrence said something to Sun Gan with a smirk, then quickly turned and walked towards the other members of the group.

Lin Yin was right; as long as he could swallow his pride, there were more than enough people in the Class 6).

If he had known, he wouldn't have said those nonsensical things in the group chat, which led to him not getting a definite answer about the internship from Qin Su and causing all this trouble.

Lawrence ran towards Anthony in the group, frustrated.

Hesitation leads to defeat. Why did you test your team leader? Why not just say what you mean? Why keep things to yourself?

Lawrence discovered that Anthony, who seemed tough but was actually a pushover, was easier to manipulate.

[The future is uncertain, aren't you worried?]

The first thing Qin Su did after leaving Kamila Planet was to send 'internship termination applications' to the places where his classmates were doing their summer internships.

Previously, when Class 6) disappeared from everyone's sight for the first time, he deliberately excluded Herus Planet. With the experience of the first time, it is highly unlikely that Herus Planet will make the entry difficulty too high when Class 6) disappears for the second time.

Moreover, with his repeated 'leaks' and Aldrich's own superb acting skills, Aldrich has now become one of Felix's recognized 'lackeys,' and even without his intervention, he can accomplish much more than he did at the beginning.

With Felix in charge of the main defenses of Clyus, Aldrich secretly cooperating from within, and the added boost of confidence and arrogance from many high-ranking officials in the Ossotalia Empire, the students' infiltration should be virtually without problems.

He simply needs to return to the Real World, do his own thing, and quietly wait for good news from his classmates.

The students who received the 'application to end internship' from Qin Su were filled with curiosity and couldn't help but inquire. They privately checked with trusted people to find out the 'answer' and discovered that every place that had actively or passively 'received' students from Class 6 had received a copy-pasted 'application'. Upon further inquiry, no one knew the whereabouts of anyone from Class 6, not even their closest parents.

(Class 6's past offenses are still fresh in our minds. Their disappearance has once again triggered widespread panic among the "insiders" of various planets.

Countless people who knew in their hearts that they had never had clean hands along the way, in order to avoid being killed as soon as they showed their faces, either hid in heavily guarded Safe Zone and minimized all opportunities to go out, acting like cowards, or tried every means to go to and stay in the Atopulai Palace, hoping that Atopulai Palace was, after all, the Federation President, and the place where Qin Su was very likely to stay in the future, so that (Class 6 would most likely not dare to make a move in the Atopulai Palace, so as not to dirty Qin Su's future residence.

Qin Su appeared on the StarNet during the routine group photo at the end of the Federation Joint Planetary Conference, which made the photo the 'funniest group photo'. Netizens scrutinized everyone's facial expressions and body movements with a magnifying glass, and their attention was drawn to the photo, so they did not immediately notice that Class 6) had disappeared again.

Three days later, after reviewing Qin Su's audio and photos repeatedly, no new clown angles could be found. Netizens belatedly realized that no one from Class 6 has come out to jump yet.

[Doesn't anyone think it's too quiet?]

[Right, based on their previous behavior (6), they should have come out to claim it long ago. Why aren't they showing off now? This doesn't make sense.]

[Changed gender?]

[I should probably become more reserved and composed by now; I'm about to graduate, so I definitely need to be a bit more mature and steady.]

Previously, when Class 6) first obeyed Qin Su's orders to secretly carry out a 'large-scale Assassination ', they excluded the Herus Planet, where the Ossotalia Empire was located, from all the places they passed. During this time, countless people were in a state of panic, but the Ossotalia Empire was fearless.

Felix learned from the worried Aldrich for the second time that a group of people from Class 6 had disappeared again. He slumped into his chair, propped his legs up on the desk, and said with disdain, "Tch, you coward, what's there to panic about?"

Besides, he hadn't heard of any high-ranking officials being Assassination on any planet recently.

"But..." Aldrich looked around nervously, leading Felix astray. "I'm a traitor. I betrayed the Federation. Class 6) just disappeared like that. They're most likely Qin Su's pawns, getting rid of people he doesn't like. If they find out I'm here, my life... How can I not be afraid? Can you send me another team... No, five..."

"Get out!" Felix's temper flared instantly, his face darkening before he could finish speaking.

"... Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll..." Aldrich didn't finish his act. He saw Felix's hand reaching for the weapon on the desk, his eyes widened in horror, and he shouted, "Don't be impulsive!" before scrambling out of the room.

Bang--

Just as Aldrich escaped, he heard a gunshot from inside. Fearing that Felix would chase after him, he ran away in terror.

Seeing Aldrich's clownish expression through the Electronic Eye, Felix's mood improved, and he laughed a few times in the office.

The group of people on the other end of the Optical Brain, who were video chatting with Felix, saw Felix's unpredictable mood and wisely lowered their eyes, not daring to look any longer or utter a sound.

Felix finished laughing, glanced at the group of people with their heads down on the opposite screen, his smile vanished, and his gaze turned sinister as he stared at one person whose head was bowed lower than the others. "Arnold."

Arnold: "!"

Caught off guard, Arnold's heart leaped into his throat. Without looking up, he cautiously stammered, "Y-you said..."

Could it be that his deal with Qin Su has been discovered?

Are you expressing dissatisfaction with me?

Arnold tried to hide his racing heartbeat. Still not understanding why Felix would say such a thing, he hurriedly denied it in a low voice. "No, absolutely not..."

"I told you last time, if you don't want to sit properly, you can kneel down. Don't take my words to heart!" Felix stared intently at Arnold's much wider and taller frame.

"..."

So that's what it was? Arnold, who was almost scared to death by his own imagination, wisely moved his chair away and, enduring intense humiliation, knelt down in front of Felix under the gaze of others.

The others, not wanting to become Felix's target, kept their heads lowered even further.

"That's more like it." Felix was satisfied, a smile returning to his face, but it didn't last two seconds before he changed the subject, "However, to serve as a warning to the others present, punishment is still necessary."

When Arnold heard the familiar word 'punishment,' his brow twitched, and a familiar feeling of suffocation washed over him.

Sure enough, the next second, those familiar phrases, which he had heard countless times, once again entered his ears.

"As punishment, you'll have to deliver another..." Felix watched Arnold tremble at his words, grinning as he continued, "1762 Alpha soldiers, come here."

After finishing his task, Felix ignored the expressions on the other people's faces and abruptly ended the communication.

The Governors of the other planets breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with sympathy as they looked at Arnold, who had been sitting pale and slumped on the ground since the communication ended.

Initially, they all thought that Camilla Planet closest to Herus Planet, the core of the Ossotalia Empire, would become one of the most valued planets of the Ossotalia Empire and would receive preferential treatment that was unimaginable to their other planets.

The truth is that the newly appointed Governor of Kamila Planet seven years ago somehow offended Felix, and had to repeatedly draw soldiers from the army that Felix needed, supplying Felix with 'Test Subjects' whose specific purpose was unknown, but none of them ever survived to reappear alive.

Where no one else could see, Arnold clenched his fist.

Felix had always regarded the soldiers of Kamila Planet as worthless, based solely on the ridiculous reason that he was taller and stronger than Felix and that Felix had given him a fawning smile on their first meeting.

He ruined everyone's lives.

When exactly did Qin Su tell him, "As a return gift, I will give him everything he wants"?
