"Tch, we can't let those guys break in!"

Su Rui is still in the basement! Wis'adel threw a bomb at several Sarkaz who were turning around and trying to charge back not far away, blasting them away and slowing down the mercenaries.

However, this was someone else's home turf after all. No matter how swift and agile Wis'adel's actions were, he couldn't eliminate all the mercenaries rushing to the basement. After all, some of the mercenaries were even standing guard at the warehouse entrance.

After realizing there was a problem, some people tried to rush in.

"We need to hurry! We can't let Su Rui get caught!"

Through her ability to gather information by Scanning Vision, Su Rui heard what Wis'adel said, but in reality, Su Rui also had a solution.

The door to the basement was blocked by Su Rui. Although it would take less than a minute to break it open, a minute would be enough for a large number of people to gather outside.

As the mercenaries outside were about to storm into the Scanning Vision, Su Rui detonated the bomb placed at their feet.

With another loud roar, the warehouse door was blown open by the force of the explosion, causing Wis'adel to look up and observe closely.

"That guy wouldn't...?"

Before Wis'adel could finish speaking, Su Rui's voice came through the electronic device. "Alright, I'm fine here. You guys hurry up and take care of these guys. Wis'adel, there's a shooter to the left rear."

At Su Rui's prompting, Wis'adel quickly dealt with the guy who tried to ambush her, then nodded.

"Be careful, you don't want to die here."

"I'm not that easy to kill. My bombs will show them what I'm capable of."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she hung up the communication. It was Wis'adel who realized that the effect of the explosion just now was not something that the three explosives she had lost could have achieved.

I didn't expect Su Rui to be so good at demolitions; no wonder he wanted my bomb.

As Wis'adel continued dealing with her opponent, Su Rui's voice occasionally came through the walkie-talkie, reminding them to be wary of enemies lurking in hidden corners.

No matter how big a yard is, mercenaries will eventually be wiped out. The conflict lasted only five or six minutes before it ended under the firepower of Wis'adel and Outcast.

Su Rui watched as the lights gradually illuminated the interior as the door opened, and then walked into the basement.

Even though it's in the barren Kazdel, a place where there aren't even enough mobile plots, this basement is filled with electronic devices.

The Sarkaz, who was captured and put in a cage, was also wearing electronic shackles. Was it because the guy who funded that military commissioner provided a lot of these devices?

Su Rui looked at the Sarkaz inside the cage, and when the lights came on, the Sarkaz, who were bound by electronic shackles, all raised their heads and looked at Su Rui, who was strolling leisurely.

They heard the commotion outside, but for a moment they didn't know what had happened.

"I will unlock your shackles and remove the cage switches in a moment. All you need to do is spread the word about this."

Su Rui glanced at the Sarkaz around him. They probably wouldn't want to hear too much at this point, so after he finished speaking, Su Rui turned and left the warehouse.

Behind him, the shackles on the Sarkaz were also removed by Su Rui's direct control, falling off the Sarkaz as they stood up with a clatter.

Su Rui had no patience to appease those guys, nor did she immediately open the cage door. Instead, she walked towards the warehouse entrance, where Wis'adel and Outcast were already waiting for Su Rui.

"How is it? What's going on in there?" Wis'adel leaned against the doorway and turned to ask after noticing Su Rui appear.

"It's very clean inside. After all, it's used as experimental subjects, so ensuring their physical health is very important, otherwise it won't fetch a good price... It might even be cleaner than the room you live in."

Wis'adel rolled his eyes, ignoring Su Rui: "Why aren't they out yet?"

"I just opened the cage."

As Su Rui spoke, she opened the cages in the basement.

After the cage was opened, the Sarkaz in the basement looked at each other, clearly not expecting things to be so simple.

Not having enough coins, after a brief hesitation, they still went out of the basement and saw a mess outside.

"Aren't you going to give a speech or something?" Wis'adel and Su Rui had already hidden in a corner, watching the Sarkaz flee from the basement in all directions of the courtyard.

"I'm not good at this. The only speech I remember was the one about bread worth 500,000 Mark." Su Rui shook his head.

Prince of Kazdel: 314 Wis'adel: I don't think it's a good idea.

The mission went smoothly, and the car parked there wasn't stolen. However, on the way back to Babel, Suri's teammates absolutely refused to let Su Rui drive.

Wis'adel grabbed Su Rui's shoulders from behind, picked him up, and put him in the back seat. Even so, she seemed worried that Su Rui would try to escape, holding him tightly to prevent him from moving.

"Alright, alright, Ace has already gone to get the car, so just let me go."

Su Rui felt the soft pressure from behind and struggled a little in annoyance. Although Wis'adel had a great figure, it wasn't like Su Rui hadn't seen him before.

The main issue is that having my arm constantly locked up feels a bit uncomfortable.

With his teammates watching, Wis'adel couldn't keep holding onto Su Rui like that. After Su Rui said those words, he could only reluctantly agree to Su Rui's request and let him go.

When they returned to the Babel, the first rays of dawn had already risen on the distant horizon. Su Rui had gradually fallen asleep from the swaying of the journey, leaning against Wis'adel's shoulder, her breathing even.

Wis'adel, who was originally a bit eccentric, didn't say anything at this moment, but just played with the bomb in her hand and occasionally glanced at Su Rui beside her.

When the vehicle stopped inside the Babel, Wis'adel opened the door, stretched, and muttered to himself, "Just thinking about glancing at Su Rui inside."

As she said, "I'll reluctantly take you back," she noticed Theresa standing by the car waiting for them out of the corner of her eye.

"Your Highness Theresa, what are you doing here? Did you come specifically to wait for us?"

"I just happened to come by and then I ran into you all," Theresa explained with a smile. Su Rui didn't want the others to know that Theresa had been watching, so Theresa wouldn't say anything.

Walking past Wis'adel, Theresa, who had already seen Su Rui sleeping via video call, carried Su Rui directly out of the car without any sense of incongruity. Then, she chatted with Wis'adel as they walked towards the interior of Rhodes Island.

How did you feel about this mission?

"That's good, but I don't think it's really necessary for Su Rui to come with us. He can just direct from the rear. Su Rui can handle many things remotely. This must be some kind of... hacking technology, right?"

Although Wis'adel didn't quite understand the concept of hackers, she at least understood from Outcast that Su Rui was simply seeking thrills.

"While it's impressive that he can evade the mercenaries, it doesn't seem quite right for Su Rui to be involved in this kind of thing."

Wis'adel couldn't find the most suitable adjective, but she still expressed her feelings.

Then, Wis'adel watched Theresa's expression with some nervousness, worried that Theresa's judgment might be the same as hers.

"You make a good point." Theresa nodded. "I'll think about it later."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye, Your Highness Theresa."

As Wis'adel spoke, he glanced at Su Rui: "..." Wis'adel wanted to say something, but couldn't think of the right words, so he could only watch Theresa's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"Forget it, let's prepare more bombs. Maybe we can have a chat with Su Rui."

After standing there for a moment and thinking it over, Wis'adel decided to go back to his dormitory first.

... Su Rui didn't actually sleep for long. Su Rui woke up shortly after Theresa put him on the bed in the bedroom.

"Won't you sleep a little longer?" Theresa's gentle voice reached Su Rui's ears as she sat up in bed.

Turning her head to glance at Theresa, who was sitting at the table next to her seemingly passing the time by reading a book, Su Rui glanced at the Scanning Vision again, and after confirming that it was her room, she wasn't too surprised.

"I can't sleep," Su Rui said casually, sitting up in bed and walking towards the bathroom.

What are your plans for today?

You are free to move around as you please, we are not in a hurry.

As Theresa spoke, she watched Su Rui walk into the bathroom, but she showed no intention of leaving.

"By the way Su Rui, since your abilities allow you to command from a location far from the battlefield, how about staying at Rhodes Island next time you're on a mission?"

Theresa's words startled Su Rui. He instinctively turned off the shower, thinking he hadn't heard her clearly, "I didn't hear you. What did you say?"

"How about we stay on Rhodes Island next time we go on a mission?" Theresa patiently repeated her words.

But Su Rui didn't want to stay in the back and watch the screen. "No, I want to go with them next time. There's no harm in me going myself."

"Perhaps we can discuss this with the Doctor."

Theresa didn't argue with Su Rui directly, since she didn't know Su Rui very well yet, so it was best to leave this matter to the Doctor.

However, if the Doctor also believes that there are no safety risks involved in what Su Rui is doing, Theresa can only acquiesce to it.

"That's really cunning, but I don't think the Doctor can convince me anyway."

Su Rui quickly washed herself, came out of the bathroom, and glanced at Theresa:

"Let's go, if we're not in a hurry, I'd like to have breakfast first."

"Of course, I think the Doctor would agree." Theresa smiled and stood up to follow Su Rui.

So, about half an hour later, Su Rui and Theresa met the Doctor in the office, who was lounging on the sofa and greeting them lazily.

Good morning!

"Yes, Theresa and I need to talk to you about something."

Su Rui nodded and sat down opposite the Doctor. She glanced at the side; there was no chair prepared for a third person, only a sofa.

However, Theresa didn't seem to mind. Standing behind Su Rui, she smiled and explained the situation.

The Doctor nodded, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's so funny? What I said isn't wrong. If I were there, I could handle any unexpected situation promptly!"

Su Rui glared at the Doctor with displeasure.

"Okay, okay, sorry, but think about it, you'd get bored doing the same tasks all the time, right?"

After laughing, the Doctor didn't forget to comfort Su Rui: "You can let others handle the boring parts, and then you can just participate in the most interesting parts, what do you say?"

"... That makes sense." Su Rui nodded.

"The remaining work is indeed a little repetitive. Let's finish it quickly."

Prince of Kazdel: 315 War God Jump

As Su Rui eliminated those strongholds one by one, the story of a certain member of the Military Council betraying his compatriots for personal gain quickly became widely known.

However, because that military commissioner still held a very high position, most people dared not do anything even if they were angry.

I have heard that several brave men attempted to assassinate the military commissioner using heavy crossbows or guns stolen from the Sankta.

However, the other party's security measures and physical fitness were indeed quite good.

Several assassination attempts were thwarted, and even the only long-range sniping attempt with a heavy crossbow failed to kill the guy; it only made him disappear for a while before he reappeared.

"So, our goal this time is to help those angry Sarkaz and drag this coward hiding in his own home out of there."

As Su Rui spoke, he displayed a scan of the military commissioner's hideout on the screen, marking each location and the time when someone had been there.

"So, this time we're doing the same thing as before: rescue the people inside, and then kill anyone who gets in our way, right?"

Wis'adel yawned somewhat boredly as he sat in the conference room chair. Under Su Rui's leadership, they had encountered almost no trouble, let alone unexpected formidable enemies.

Everything was predicted with perfect clarity, and the enemy collapsed under their series of attacks before they could even react.

Su Rui glanced at Wis'adel, then at the Doctor and Theresa, who were listening at the other end of the conference room. "This time, Wis'adel and I will act alone. The others will wait outside for backup."

As Su Rui spoke, she displayed her plan on the projection screen:

"This guy has been overwhelmed by the series of attacks lately. He hasn't been able to deliver any of the goods he planned to send out, and naturally, he hasn't made any money. So while he's trying to save his life, he'll definitely be trying to find us soon."

"Do you intend to confront him directly? Or pretend to be a merchant providing information and go to him? That would be easily exposed, wouldn't it? There are quite a few rumors about you."

Wis'adel shrugged. Although Su Rui had only appeared in the first mission, the Sarkaz had seen him clearly regarded Su Rui as the leader of these plans, and descriptions of Su Rui's characteristics had been circulating all over Kazdel recently.

"...Why not?" Su Rui paused for a moment. "Okay, I was originally planning to take him down while we were negotiating business. In that case, we'll have to use a more direct method. Let's infiltrate."

As Su Rui spoke, he readjusted the content displayed on the screen in front of him, changing it to a structural diagram of the military commissioner's hiding place and marking the weaknesses:

"If we can't attack, we'll try another approach: we can just rush in from one side of that house. I have plenty of bombs."

Su Rui had made meticulous plans, but neither Wis'adel nor Theresa anticipated that part of the scans Su Rui provided were incorrect.

This wasn't something Su Rui did to put them in danger, but Su Rui to distract them.

After Wis'adel and the others began their operation, Theresa, as usual, sat in front of the computer with the Doctor to watch Su Rui's actions.

Then they saw that Su Rui activated her High-Speed Holographic Camouflage and slipped away from Wis'adel and the others.

Wis'adel and Theresa each displayed different messages on their terminals.

Theresa's side, marked by Su Rui, said, "The information given to Wis'adel and the others isn't actually the military commissioner's hiding place, but rather the building next door. They just need to draw attention to it; with my intelligence, they can easily handle the defenses of that building."

In Wis'adel, however, the message they received was. "I'm going to scout the situation." There was no further explanation.

Theresa and the Doctor exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, Theresa spoke first:
