Qu Jianlei and his group simply left the estate, taking five Item-Storing Talismans with them.
Kopaqi, Tai Si, and the two Modified Warriors had all been blinded, but they were also moved out of the estate.
As Qu Jianlei's group of four departed, the estate behind them burned fiercely.
Though the estate was not particularly large, with all its equipment included, it was worth well over a hundred million. Yet it had just been reduced to ashes.
Kopaqi had no time to think about that. Though his eyes were blind, his perception remained.
Only after sensing that the others had left did he ask, "Why didn't the intelligent system sound the alarm?"
"I don't know. Perhaps it was disrupted by a powerful Calculation Unit," Tai Si replied through the pain. "Sir, send out a request for help."
"I can't afford that embarrassment." Kopaqi flickered away directly. Though he had lost his eyes, his perception was still intact.
What had happened at the estate today was simply too humiliating. He did not even consider reporting it to the authorities.
Of course, that was also because the other side was too terrifyingly powerful. If he could have restored his dignity through the authorities, he would not have hesitated to use his connections.
Relying on his perception, he arrived at the Dukas headquarters, flashed into his room, shut the door, and forced himself to issue orders.
"Pull back. All Dukas operations, pull back completely!"
"All actions against Ping An must cease immediately, at once, without exception!"
Someone timidly said, "Sir, we just... just robbed a Ping An Jewelry store."
"Ping An Jewelry... who told you to rob it?" Kopaqi gritted his teeth, so furious he wanted to kill someone.
Ping An Jewelry was not the merchant group's main business, merely a subsidiary operation.
