" Tiandao, are you sure my brother will be alright on his own? Is it necessary?"
Chen Xing stood atop a clock tower outside the Gear Church, looking down at Dust Sky, who had silently infiltrated the Chen Kong Gear Church using the ' Mark of the Void ', and frowned.
Isabelle had promised to keep an eye on him, so why did this arrogant guy wade into this mess again?
Beside Chen Xing, Tiandao, who had shed his disguise, sat on the edge of the clock tower rooftop with Danika, who was holding potato chips and carrying Small Backpack.
Unlike Chen Xing's serious expression.
The expressions on Tiandao and Little Danika's faces were as relaxed as if they were on a picnic.
It was completely unaffected.
Tiandao playing with the 'coin' in his hand, Tiandao glanced at Little Danika had just taken out some potato chips, and snatched them from Danika hand with a 'whoosh', then popped them into his mouth and started eating them with a smile.
"Don't worry, Xing, your brother will be fine."
However, Tiandao's words did not ease her furrowed brows, clearly indicating that she was still not entirely at ease with Chen Kong.
Seeing Tiandao held down the green-headed little dog next to him who was so angry that it wanted to bite its own arm, and said directly, "Although Kong is a bit too kind-hearted, he is not a weakling who can't fight back."
"On the contrary, his strength is definitely among the best in the current Steam Capital."
"Not to mention I also found him the strongest foreign aid in the Steam Capital. This game is a guaranteed win, no questions asked."
"The strongest foreign aid?"
Chen Xing raised an eyebrow and turned around. The morning breeze from the top of the clock tower brushed against her cheek and lifted a strand of brown hair that hung by her ear.
In just a moment, Chen Xing guessed who the strongest external aid that Tiandao was talking about was.
"You mean Liam, the President of the Steam Branch?"
Just as Chen Xing finished speaking, Tiandao flicked the coin he was playing with in his hand. The coin stopped with a 'click' between Tiandao's fingers, perfectly timed.
"You answered correctly, but unfortunately there's no reward!"
Upon receiving this answer from Tiandao, Chen Xing's brows finally relaxed.
If everything is as Tiandao says, then the Chen Kong below will not be in any danger this time.
What Chen Xing didn't know was that, according to the original plot of " Stellaris: Glimmer ",
Liam should have been quietly staying in the Association at this moment, oblivious to the 'power struggle' between the upper and lower cities.
And Chen Kong's helper in this part of the story is this guy ' Yu Chen '.
After all, there was no character named Shui Mo, the captain of the Fifth Squad, in the original work, so there was no assassination attempt that humiliated the Steam Branch.
Although Liam usually locks himself in the Branch and rarely shows up throughout the year.
But no one dared to underestimate his presence.
Because the word ' Calamity ' itself is an insurmountable chasm.
Even as a lower-tier Calamity, Liam's strength is unimaginably different from that of other non- Calamity.
Of course, the Tiandao Dao is an exception.
However, if this old man is allowed to remain in charge of the Branch, then even if he manages to steal the two ' Quantum Key ' placed in the Association through ' Myriad Concealment '...
Leaving afterward won't be an easy thing.
The reason why Calamity are Calamity is because they can produce effects similar to ' Calamity ' by relying on just one person.
This effect is collectively referred to as the "domain".
The realm of Calamity, coupled with the ferocious Association Star Envoy of the Steam Branch.
Even if one can leave after the Tiandao, it will probably require some sacrifice.
More importantly, once Liam learns that someone is secretly collecting the ' Quantum Key ' of the Twelve Brass Nobles...
The remaining Brass Nobles will surely be protected by him.
At this point, it won't be so easy for Tiandao to collect the complete Quantum Key.
Conversely, as long as Liam leaves Branch branch, even for a mere half hour...
He was absolutely certain that he could easily obtain those two 'quantum' keys.
Thinking of this, the coin at Tiandao's fingertip spun again, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood.
Chen Xing, noticing the smile on Tiandao's face, subconsciously smiled as well.
As for whether Liam will come?
Chen Xing wasn't worried at all, after all, it was just a person or organization that had killed the Golden Knight and the captain of the Association's squad.
If you were in that situation, would you dare bet that the other person is only one person?
For a cunning old fox like Liam, making the trip himself is undoubtedly the safest option.
The current Steam Branch cannot afford any more deaths.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing looked down at Chen Kong, who had completely infiltrated the Gear Church, and sighed, "You dare to plot against the Calamity now. If this continues for a while, I don't know what other amazing things you might do."
Upon hearing this, Tiandao shrugged and then tossed the coin in his hand into the air.
"Who knows? Who knows, maybe in the future I'll even dethrone that Current Strongest Star Envoy of our time."
Although Tiandao's tone sounded like he was joking.
But Chen Xing knew that the depth hidden behind those azure eyes was no joke.
He really has the ability to do that.
As the two were talking, several more explosions came from the distant Bolt Hub Station.
It appears that a very intense conflict has occurred.
Gazing at the towering flames in the distance, Chen Xing frowned again. " Tiandao, things seem even more chaotic in the Lower City."
Tiandao caught the falling coin without saying anything.
In fact, Chen Xing didn't care about the final outcome of this 'battle between two cities' Lower City and Upper City.
She only cared about the difficult promises that Chen Kong had made not long ago in an attempt to briefly appease the citizens of the Lower City.
Although the residents of Lower City have broken through the Bolt Hub Station, the hub station has been completely surrounded by the Steam Security Force from Upper City.
To avoid further casualties, Chen Kong used the power of the ' Mark of the Void ' to enter the Bolt Hub Station and made a promise to the citizens of the Lower City inside.
He will definitely clear Vivian's name and prove to everyone that justice can exist in the Steam Capital and the Rust Iron District.
At the same time, he would try to persuade the Twelve Brass Nobles to give the Rust Iron District the treatment it deserved.
Although Chen Kong's idea was naive and unrealistic.
But it must be admitted that his words gave the residents of the Lower City a tiny glimmer of hope.
Therefore, they decided to give Chen Kong a chance.
This opportunity will last until the day Vivian is finally executed.
The citizens of the Lower City have stopped, but the nobles of the Upper City seem to have no intention of stopping.
Gazing at the continuous gunfire and explosions not far away, Tiandao couldn't help but sigh.
"Xing, your brother really did choose the most difficult path."
Chen Xing did not answer, because she knew very well what the path Chen Kong had chosen meant.
It was a road destined to be lonely and fraught with danger.
