Abby and Kabri vanished as if they had disappeared into thin air, using a Joker card to mock the entire European branch of the Future Organization before making their triumphant exit.

Legends about them have also been passed down among Time Walker in Europe and North America.

When people began to review the events, they discovered that Kabri and Abby, almost single-handedly, instigated a massive conflict within the Time Walker organization across Europe, resulting in significant losses for Mirai, Kamishiro, and Kashima.

Some say they are undercover agents for another organization in North America called "Kingdom," and Kabri's previous cynical and nouveau riche attitude has been praised as the best male lead.

Everyone believed that everything Kabri had done before was an act.

Like some great figures who endured humiliation and hardship in stories of power transitions in the past.

In terms of acting skills, Abby is slightly inferior, but everyone praises Abby for almost becoming the head of the European branch while undercover, which is quite impressive...

Of course, only those within the Future Organization have some doubts about this matter.

Their first question was: why did Abby and Kabri delete all traces of themselves on the internet before they left?

Is it because you want to start from scratch with a new identity, so you have to wipe everything from the past?

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

Once an undercover agent's identity is exposed, they naturally have to start all over again.

Everything from the past must be discarded.

The second point of contention for the Future Organization is how the hacker in charge of deleting everything managed to delete it without leaving any trace after doing so.

Furthermore, why would the other party start a Monopoly game after deleting all the information?

What is this implying, or is it mocking something?

The third point of contention is whether the Joker is a single person or a new organization.

I've never heard of the Kingdom having a habit of including a Joker card.

All of this seems to have become a mystery, Future Organization itself doesn't understand and can't explain to the outside world.

All that is known is that Mike and W were later required to return to North America to report on their duties and conduct a combat summary of the operation.

Furthermore, Abby and Kabri never appeared again.

Unbeknownst to them, the instigator was already on the smuggling boat arranged by Kunlun, preparing to return to China.

In the future, he will explain why he survived by saying that he was "outmatched by Kabri at sea and forced to jump into the sea to escape".

Everyone thought he was dead, but that was just speculation, and no one actually asked Kabri to confirm it.

As long as Zheng Yuandong, He Jinqiu, Old John, Nedup, Zhang Jian, Yang Yang don't speak up, then no one will know the truth about the Greenland waters.

As for what he actually did in Europe, nobody really cares.

In this matter, he was merely a supporting character who was almost forgotten.

At least for now, very few people know that he is still alive.

What happened in Europe was quickly brought online by enthusiastic people in North America.

As a result, people all over the world began to pay attention to this matter, after all, this was the first chaotic battle between the major Time Walker organizations.

However, the focus of the public's attention is on what abilities these superhumans used, and which superhuman is the most powerful.

Is it Mike, who can emit rays, or Li Yunze from Kashima?

Did anyone use Forbidden Item in this battle? And what were the effects of these Forbidden Item?

Which side is more skilled in terms of strategy?

In short, the focus of everyone's attention on this matter is more like that of watching a competition. If possible, they would even like to compile comparative data for each superhuman.

Only a few people noticed the most inconspicuous information at the very beginning of these messages: Kabri killed an Eastern Time Walker at sea, then returned to Amsterdam and vanished without a trace.

In these stories, the Joker and the A-level superhumans are the real protagonists, while Qing Chen is a supporting character whose name the media doesn't even bother to investigate.

Meanwhile, this supporting character was sitting in the cabin of the smuggling boat with Yang Yang, looking at the dark surroundings.

They weren't on a cruise ship, but a small cargo ship from China, and the crew were all Chinese.

The cargo ship didn't provide them with the crew quarters as previously agreed, but rather with the cargo hold.

Just then, the warehouse door opened, and someone threw in a bowl of porridge. "Here, eat up."

The way he spoke was like a village man feeding a dog.

Qing Chen and Yang Yang exchanged a smile, seemingly without any sign of grievance. He asked with interest, "We paid plenty of money and bought crew quarters, which included two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. What you're doing now is quite different from what you said."

The man sneered, "Are you going to eat or not? If not, I'll throw it into the sea. After you've gone hungry for two or three days, you'll understand who's in charge on this ship."

The man continued, "I've seen plenty of stowaways like you. Who do you think you are? You think you can just eat whatever you want once you're on this boat? How about I catch a tuna for you and make you some sashimi?"

Qing Chen said, "Then this constitutes false advertising."

The man sneered, "You all have criminal records, don't you? You don't dare to report me, do you? Once we're ashore, get out of here quietly. If you keep causing trouble on the way, I'll throw you into the sea right now."

This was Qing Chen's first time experiencing illegal immigration.

He had heard before that many human smugglers would lure people onto their boats and then abuse them at will.

Over the years, countless stowaways have suffocated in the cabins of ships.

After all, those who want to smuggle themselves out of the country have no legal status and are outnumbered by the crew on the ship.

Before leaving, the man asked with a cold laugh, "Any other questions?"

"Yes," Qing Chen raised his hand, "I've never had tuna sashimi before, and I'd like to ask you to help me catch some, thank you."

The man was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh at Qing Chen's antics. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Qing Chen: "I think you're really asking for a beating... Ah!"

Half an hour later, all the crew members, except the helmsman, were standing silently on the deck, their faces bruised and swollen, fishing for tuna.

There were only three fishing rods on the ship, but there were more than twenty crew members. Those who didn't have fishing rods just stood there pretending to be fishing.

It wasn't that they were putting on an act; rather, the two heroes behind them wanted to watch them fish...

Someone whispered to the captain beside him, "Captain, didn't you say you'd caught two fat sheep this time? These aren't two fat sheep, you've caught two fathers!"

On the streets of Amsterdam, a tall white man walks down the street, the very spot where Li Minghao detonated the RDX bomb.

Burning ruins lined both sides of the street. The once beautiful city suffered a sharp decline in tourist numbers due to the incident, and many locals fled to other cities to seek refuge with relatives and friends.

The white man stood still in one spot.

He wore a gold badge on his chest with the word "Kingdom" on it.

Kingdom.

The next moment, a blue phantom appeared on the street, as if someone had used a blue highlighter to trace the outline of the entire street.

Immediately afterwards, the blue phantom began to change shape continuously.

Some ghostly "people" appeared on the street, but they were all walking backwards.

The real world has never changed, while the phantom is like someone pressing the rewind button while playing a movie, reviewing everything that happened on this street from a completely clear angle.

The time it took for the phantom to flow backward increased faster and faster, until the moment of the explosion.

The towering flames silently subsided, and the shattered trash can was pieced back together perfectly.

The Time Walker, who had been blown away by the flames, returned to their original positions as if nothing had happened.

"No," the white man said calmly, "Kabri and Abby were already missing when the explosion occurred."

After saying that, he waved at the illusory figure in front of him, and the image reversed again.

That was the battle between Li Yunze and W. The white man watched intently for a while, but did not linger there.

At a certain moment, his raised hand suddenly clenched, and the image froze.

The white man walked behind W and saw Kabri and Abby standing there.

However, at that moment, he suddenly saw the silk threads wrapped around the wrists of the two people, and the phantom even outlined the strings of the Puppet Master.

The white man followed the silk thread and finally found someone in the corner. The person had their head down and was wearing a hood, so their face was not visible.

But when the white man tried to get a clear look at the other person's face, he saw the person suddenly raise his head!

In an instant, the white man felt a jolt in his heart, and the countless blue fluorescent phantoms vanished instantly, as if he had seen some unseen being.

This is a very strange situation; it has never happened before.

It's worth noting that even when white men replay the phantoms of Mike, W, and Li Yunze, they never encounter this situation.

Could it be that the other party is already a demigod?

No, if the opponent is a demigod, why would they need to go through all this trouble? No matter how many Time Walker comes, he won't be able to crush a demigod. If a demigod really appears in the Outer World now, then the opponent is an invincible being.

The various conglomerates in the Inner World also have methods to punish demigods, and they all harbor true masters.

But the Outer World doesn't exist.

If demigods appeared at this stage in Time Walker, they would have already wiped out all the major organizations.

The white man wanted to use his ability again to review the events, but he discovered that his ability was malfunctioning on this street!

He frowned and made a call, "First, Li Yunze has been holding back a lot of his strength. This A-level expert needs to be closely monitored; he's very calm and extremely dangerous. Second, besides Abby and Kabri, there's a third person. Although I can't find out his identity or even see his face through the phantom, I'm certain he's the one manipulating this whole thing—the Joker."

This is the second update yesterday. Sorry, the Chinese team lost, and I had to take a long time to recover.
