The Plans and Actions Ahead

Now that things have come to this, Fang Li can finally be certain of one thing.

In this incident, the relationship between the Far East Branch and the Russian Branch was hostile, not cooperative.

Clearly, the Russian Branch is hiding some extremely important secret.

The Russian Branch leadership had been trying their best to conceal this secret, even at the cost of mission failure and personnel loss.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Russian Branch to request assistance from the Far East Branch to send personnel to participate in this incident.

Therefore, this incident should be because the Far East Branch discovered the abnormality of the Russian Branch and, under the guise of rescue, took the initiative to send out the First Unit to conduct an investigation in secret.

That is why the Russian Branch was so hostile to the rescue efforts from the Far East Branch.

"I'm even starting to suspect that the attack we encountered when we first arrived at the Russian Branch might have been orchestrated by the Russian Branch themselves," Fang Li said. "Otherwise, wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence that a so-called advance force attacked right after our arrival?"

In fact, during that attack, all the support personnel sent by the Far East Branch, except for the three God Eater, one soldier, and one communications officer from the First Unit, were killed.

Based on the current situation, Fang Li suspects that the attack was probably orchestrated by the Russian Branch in order to eliminate the people sent by the Far East Branch.

"After all, the timing of the captain's arrival to rescue us was also extremely coincidental." Fang Li looked at Soma and said, "I guess he saw that we were about to break through the encirclement and reach the Russian Branch, so he started to bring troops to rescue us. If our situation had been very bad, he probably wouldn't have shown up."

Upon hearing this, Soma closed his eyes in tacit agreement, and even Sakuya Tachibana lowered his head, looking as if he had something to say but couldn't.

Upon seeing this, Fang Li immediately understood.

"You all knew all along, yet you still ended up like this?" Fang Li said mercilessly, "It's truly shameful."

"Compared to your performance, we did indeed lose face." Soma shook his head with a wry smile and said to Fang Li, "However, it's already quite good that we survived."

"However, I don't think just surviving is enough." Fang Li looked directly at Soma and said bluntly, "The infighting between the Far East Branch and the Russian Branch has nothing to do with me. However, since others have already provoked me, I won't feel satisfied if I don't avenge them."

"Oh?" Soma asked with interest, "So what are you planning to do?"

"Is there any need to say more?" Fang Li spoke up without hesitation, "Now that things have come to this, I must expose the Russian Branch and reveal all the secrets they are trying so hard to hide."

Regardless of the reactions of Soma and Sakuya Tachibana, Alisa, who belonged to the Russian Branch, could no longer bear to listen to this.

At that moment, Alisa looked at Fang Li, her azure eyes filled with an incomparably strong will.

Alisa then said, "Based on your actions, I will decide whether or not to consider you an enemy."

"Enemies?" Fang Li couldn't help but laugh, saying somewhat sarcastically, "Since you have no friends anyway, everyone else is a stranger to you. In that case, becoming enemies isn't such a big deal, is it?"

Alisa fell silent and said no more.

Only then did Soma speak again, "So, are you planning to return to the Russian Branch?"

"I have that idea." Fang Li didn't hide his plan and said to Soma, "The higher-ups in the Russian Branch probably didn't pay any attention to me, an ordinary soldier. They could only make a rough plan and set a trap for me to fall into. I'm afraid that's the limit. Taking advantage of their carelessness, I can go back to the Russian Branch and try to infiltrate again."

Anyway, Fang Li has already completed the Main Mission One and Main Mission Two. The only question now is whether or not to give up the extra rewards.

If Fang Li doesn't want to give up the extra rewards, he can continue to fight on the battlefield to increase the number of Wild Gods killed in Main Mission One and the amount of Cores obtained in Main Mission Two.

However, in that case, the rewards for Main Mission One and Main Mission Two would continue to accumulate, but the opportunity to complete Main Mission Three would be lost.

In that case, Fang Li naturally had to first consider completing the last Main Quest.

Not to mention, Fang Li has a reward of 10,000 Exchange Points for completing the Main Mission Three Side Mission, so it would be a real shame to give it up.

In addition, there was still a score to settle with the Russian Branch, so Fang Li's choice was self-evident.

Having understood Fang Li's thoughts, Alisa immediately expressed her opinion.

"I'll go back with you."

These words made Fang Li look at Alisa again.

Just then, Alisa met Fang Li's gaze.

Their eyes met once again, and just like when they first met, a friction seemed to occur, sparking a strong electric current.

To this, Fang Li merely smiled wryly and said, "What? You're not planning to continue your revenge?"

"I need to avenge more than one thing." Alisa made no attempt to hide her thoughts, saying with a somewhat cold expression, "I must also avenge the defeat you caused me last time."

Fang Li immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, alright." Soma blurted out, as if annoyed, "If you want to flirt, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

This statement immediately drew rebuttals from Fang Li and Alisa.

Who's flirting?

The perfectly synchronized sentence caused Fang Li and Alisa to look at each other again, their eyes turning somewhat displeased.

"Alright, alright, it's not flirting." Soma raised his hands in surrender and said, "However, we probably won't be able to travel with you for the time being, so you two can set off together."

"In the battle against Aphrodite, quite a few helicopters were shot down," Sakuya Tachibana added. "There might still be some helicopters that are still in good working order. You can go and look for them; they should be of some help to you."

Fang Li and Alisa both nodded.

So, Fang Li and Alisa embarked on their journey once again.
