Director Ageta?

The Dream Seeker's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he said nothing more.

In her opinion, Chen Xue had indeed acted too impulsively. Now she could only hope that Gwen wouldn't retaliate severely against Chen Xue. Continuing to plead for her would probably only backfire.

However, she probably played a part in this as well. If... then even if they have to be punished or even die together, she has to do something... even if she might not be able to do anything.

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

Ms. Chen Xue?

Gwen turned his gaze back to Chen Xue and asked with a smile.

"..."

Having regained her ability to speak, Chen Xue discovered that she still couldn't move anything except her mouth and eyes, and her heart grew increasingly heavy—

This terrifying control...

I really acted impulsively this time...

Seeing Chen Xue frown but remain silent, Gwen faded slightly.

"If you don't speak, I'll assume you have nothing to say—"

Since you're using a non-existent Article 22 of the Management Regulations to attack me...

So it's perfectly reasonable for me to stab you with a non-existent +22 sword, right?

"Mr. O'Stain ..."

Upon hearing this, the Dream Seeker was startled again and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Gwen once more—

"Don't worry, a sword that doesn't exist won't kill anyone—"

At most, it'll involve a little blood loss, far less than the amount needed for a blood donation.

While Gwen was speaking to the Dream Seeker, Chen Xue seemed to finally come to her senses and had prepared her words—

"I apologize for my impulsive behavior."

This operation was entirely my doing, and has nothing to do with anyone else. I am willing to accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate, and I beg your magnanimity..."

Although things took a turn for the worse than she had hoped, Chen Xue had no choice but to accept her fate.

At the very least, this shouldn't directly harm the entire Ouxia region...

"In that case, come with me."

Seeing Chen Xue lower her head, Gwen nodded, seemingly agreeing readily, and casually waved his hand before walking forward at a leisurely pace.

Behind Gwen, Chen Xue naturally followed immediately, like a student following a teacher step by step.

Seeing this, the Dream Seeker could only hurry to catch up, worried that the conflict between the two sides might escalate further.

"Since you say I have the ability to endanger this city, then in order to let this dangerous element go, it's reasonable for you to make some compromises and use the resources of Ouxia to win my favor, right?"

As he walked toward the iconic building of Ouxia City, Gwen casually asked.

"...

Yes."

Although Chen Xue sensed the strong malice in Gwen's words, she had no choice but to respond, as the situation forced her to comply.

"So...

Ajeta, this person's information cannot be viewed even with the Dream Seeker's privileges.

Since you can mobilize the army, your authority should be far superior to hers. Do you know anything about this person?

"The founder of the Data Research Institute, whose name has been passed down to this day by every director of the institute."

Chen Xue immediately replied.

"Whoa..."

Familiar operation...

Gwen nodded.

"Then, how about I have Dr. Ajeta come to the Anchor of Doomsday for a meeting?"

By this time, the group had passed through several buildings and could now see the massive Anchor of Doomsday directly.

"...

I can try applying.

Chen Xue said in a hoarse voice.

If this were anywhere else, they could simply disregard her life and exile Gwen to the Data Space.

But if the other side reaches the Anchor of Doomsday, the very foundation of Ouxia...

Then they'll probably have no choice but to use all the resources available to Ouxia to win his favor...

Chapter 736 Director Ajeta?

"But I need to use my mobile phone to contact Director Ajeta."

Moreover, this matter will likely be reported to the mayor, leading to further military intervention...

Chen Xue raised her hand to show her phone, and looked at Gwen walking ahead, reminding him somewhat hesitantly.

"Random."

Gwen waved his hand without turning his head—

"Given the size of Ouxia City, even if you use weapons powerful enough to turn the entire city into ruins, it will have no effect on me."

"..."

In response to Gwen's speech, Chen Xue remained silent and quietly dialed a communication number.

A moment later, the call connected, and a lazy voice came from the other end—

"Hello?

"Is there something you need, calling me so late?"

Just from the sound, one can almost imagine a beautiful woman lazily getting out of bed, asking a question with a hint of excitement, her alluring figure partially revealed...

"It's like this, Director Ajeta..."

Having regained her mobility, but still feeling her body moving naturally behind Gwen, Chen Xue took a deep breath and succinctly explained the situation.

"Oh?

A powerful, mysterious visitor?

Could I hand the phone to that gentleman?

I want to talk to him in person.

The voice on the other end of the communication channel was not as subdued as Chen Xue's; instead, it sounded excited and quite enthusiastic.

"Mr. O'Stain ..."

Chen Xue looked at Gwen, but before she could finish speaking, she found herself taking a few quick steps to catch up with Gwen and hand the phone to him.

"Hello, Dr. Ajeta, it's an honor to meet you."

Gwen greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, sir, I apologize for Chen Xue's offense. She cares too much about the child."

Although Ajeta seemed eager to get to know Gwen, the outsider, when she was talking to Chen Xue, she apologized immediately after formally starting a conversation with Gwen.

After Ajeta's voice faded, the other end of the communication didn't fall completely silent; instead, the clear sound of clothing rubbing against a body could be heard—

The woman with long, dark red hair was holding her phone between her shoulders while waiting for Gwen's reply, and she was also quickly putting on her clothes, which was somewhat out of character for her.

"It's understandable, but it's still somewhat unpleasant."

Gwen said casually.

"Okay, I understand..."

The black stockings shimmered alluringly under the light. Ajeta sighed, then quickly changed the subject—

"I heard you'd like to talk to me?"

"Well, after all, when you come to this unfamiliar place, you need to find a good tour guide."

I initially approached Dream Seeker, but it seemed some weren't interested, so I had to find someone who wouldn't be hindered.

Gwen casually remarked—

"I'm coming to the Anchor of Doomsday soon. You can come anytime. I hope our conversation will be pleasant."

Of course, I also welcome you to bring Ouxia City's most advanced equipment and weapons—

Those Kremnosians never fear a challenge.

"You sound like a brave warrior."

Upon hearing this, Ajeta let out a soft chuckle—

"But please rest assured, I am just a scholar, not skilled in combat, nor am I responsible for the defense of the city."

If possible, I will try my best to persuade the mayor on the way. Please give me some time.

"Certainly."

Gwen nodded, then hung up the call and casually put the phone back into Chen Xue's coat pocket.

The Dream Seeker, who was following behind the two, also breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing Gwen and Ajeta's conversation.

At least... at least the conflict hasn't escalated further. Now we can only hope that the city government leaders will come to their senses.

Ouxia City is such a small place, it can't withstand any more disruption.

After walking for a while, the three finally arrived at their destination. The enormous Anchor of Doomsday stood silently there, like an anchor that had fallen into the sea, anchoring the ship there.

Gwen didn't stand on ceremony and placed his hand on it—

"Indeed, it doesn't work just by touching it; timing is also crucial—"

It needs the right time, the right place, and even the right person...

What kind of path to immortality is this...?

Gwen mentally scoffed and tried to pat the ground like Xena, but it didn't cause any change; clearly, Gwen wasn't going to pay any attention to Gwyn.

"Um... isn't there a connection?"

The Dream Seeker approached Gwen and, seeing his actions, hesitated.

"Yes, but I only sensed it for a moment at the very beginning; now it seems like it doesn't exist."

Gwen shrugged and said helplessly—

"This kind of thing happens all the time, you'll get used to it—"

As he spoke, Gwen glanced at the Dream Seeker and called out—

"By the way, why don't you try putting your hand up here too? Maybe you're the one who's missing something?"

"Good--"

The Dream Seeker had touched it during the initial visit, didn't find anything unusual and simply placed his hand on it.

"As expected, there's still no response..."

Seeing that the Anchor of Doomsday remained motionless as always, the Dream Seeker sighed softly, laughing inwardly at himself for reading too many novels and actually thinking he was some kind of protagonist.

"Normal..."

Gwen shrugged, reached out and pulled out a bottle of drink, tossing it to the girl.

"You've come out with me in the middle of the night, have a drink. Your director should be here soon."

"Good..."

Seeing that Gwen was still as easygoing as when they first met, the Dream Seeker breathed a slight sigh of relief. While unscrewing the bottle cap, he winked at Chen Xue, reminding her not to move around.

Soon, a slender figure came running over, her dark red ponytail flying in the air. She stopped in front of Chen Xue, took a couple of breaths, and her chest heaved before returning to a calm, mountain-like state.

Looking at the tall figure with one hand touching the Anchor of Doomsday and his back to him, Ajeta raised his hand in greeting—
