NOVEL NEXT Chapter 564: I am an Undercover Agent
"Commander, the mission is complete."
Shortly thereafter, Tanya's voice rang out. She had returned from the outside, looking no different from when she had just left. Her maid outfit was as pristine as snow, without a speck of dust.
Tanya's return meant that the five district lords, along with the remaining City Lord-level experts, were all finished.
With Tanya's teleportation abilities and her Small Galaxy First Order strength, dealing with eighth and ninth-order opponents was child's play.
Su Chen merely nodded slightly. "Notify Hewlett to order the Restoration Army to launch a full-scale attack on the Ghost Clan, and also contact Wang Chun's team. They can control the Polar Ice Light."
The Polar Ice Light, a superweapon belonging to the Yan Yun Star, had not been targeted by Su Chen before. The timing had not been right. But now, with nearly half of Yan Yun Star under his control, he had the strength to secure the Polar Ice Light.
The location of such a powerful weapon was highly classified, known only to a few individuals within the entire human alliance, including Wang Chun.
After completing his task with the Ghost Clan, Wang Chun returned to the human alliance and learned about the location of the Polar Ice Light.
"Wang Chun, the Commander wants you to go to the Polar Ice Light and take control of it," Ju Ling's voice conveyed the orders.
Wang Chun could stroll through the stars, so the harsh environment on the surface of a mere planet had no effect on him. He proceeded directly into the White Bone Mountain Range, following the directions provided by Marshal. Soon, he arrived at an ice mountain, and within it lay the Polar Ice Light.
However, as he approached the entrance of the ice mountain, he was stopped.
"Who goes there?"
To Wang Chun's surprise, the one barring his way was an eighth-order peak expert. It was not common to see such a powerful individual guarding this location.
"It's me," Wang Chun revealed his true identity.
The eighth-order expert immediately withdrew his aggressive stance. "It's Chief Guard, my apologies for any offense earlier."
Within the human alliance, Wang Chun's identity was second only to Marshal's.
But just as Wang Chun was about to enter, the eighth-order expert said, "Chief Guard, only with Marshal's command can I allow you to enter. It's a rule, I'm sorry."
The eighth-order expert had never considered one thing: Wang Chun was not on their side.
Wang Chun responded to the eighth-order expert, saying, "My words are my command."
The eighth-order expert widened his eyes and instinctively attempted to leave, but it was too late.
In an instant, the eighth-order expert's head was sent flying, and he died on the spot. Wang Chun didn't pause; he walked straight in.
Inside the Polar Ice Light, alarms blared, causing confusion. Why was there an alarm when there were City Lord-level experts guarding outside?
When they realized that the invader was none other than the Chief Guard of the human alliance, they were dumbfounded.
Wang Chun didn't take long to seize control of the Polar Ice Light, and as for the others, not a single one was left standing.
"Chief Guard, why are you doing this?"
An angry voice filled with fury echoed; it was Marshal, who had connected to the situation through a remote video link, his tiger-like eyes burning with rage.
Marshal could hardly believe that Chief Guard had betrayed the human alliance.
No matter how Marshal tried to make sense of it, he couldn't fathom why Wang Chun would do such a thing.
Chief Guard, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as he looked at Marshal's image and calmly stated, "I am an undercover agent."
Those four words perfectly explained Wang Chun's actions.
Marshal wore a shocked expression on his face. While he could believe that others might be undercover agents, the idea that Chief Guard, a powerhouse no less formidable than himself, could be one was beyond belief.
Now, the question arose: Was Chief Guard an undercover agent for a human faction, or was he secretly working for the Ghost Clan?
If it was the former, Marshal might be angry but would retain his composure. However, if Chief Guard was working for the Ghost Clan, then no matter the cost, he had to eliminate Chief Guard!
The Ghost Clan was humanity's archenemy. If they gained control of the Polar Ice Light, the situation for humanity would become dire.
Marshal had personally witnessed the power of the Polar Ice Light. One blast could obliterate a large Ghost Clan stronghold, a formidable force even ninth-order Ghost Clan experts couldn't resist.
"Whose undercover agent are you?" Marshal suppressed his anger.
Wang Chun raised an eyebrow. "Red Alert Base."
Marshal's eyes widened. He had considered many factions, but he hadn't expected it to be Red Alert Base. It was a crucial force in humanity's counterattack against the Ghost Clan. How could it be them?
Yet, as he observed Wang Chun's expression, it didn't appear as if he was lying. Powerhouses like them often had little reason to lie.
"By the way, I killed the Deputy Alliance Leader earlier," Wang Chun added, dropping a bombshell.
Marshal was almost rendered speechless. How could a Deputy Alliance Leader simply disappear like that? And to think Wang Chun was behind it!
"Chief Guard, what do you intend to do by controlling the Polar Ice Light?" This was what puzzled Marshal the most.
While the Polar Ice Light was indeed formidable, it required a significant amount of energy for each use. Marshal had been stockpiling black Energy Crystals for the next attack, but before he could accumulate enough energy, Wang Chun had plucked the fruit.
"The rest is none of your concern. You can send people over to take this place back, and I'll be waiting."
The video abruptly ended, leaving Marshal with a grim expression, and the other human experts remained silent.
The implications of this were immense. The Polar Ice Light was humanity's only trump card, and it had been stolen by an undercover agent.
"Marshal, we must retrieve the Polar Ice Light!"
"Yes, the Polar Ice Light belongs to us!"
A heated debate ensued, but Marshal silenced them with a thunderous shout.
"Do all of you shut up!"
"Do you know Chief Guard's strength? Besides me, who can challenge him?"
Marshal's words left everyone speechless; they had forgotten this crucial fact.
When Chief Guard was on their side, they had been jubilant, but now that he had become their enemy, they realized just how formidable he truly was.
Marshal seemed to believe that wasn't enough and shared a terrifying revelation, "Honestly, I might not even be a match for Chief Guard."
With that statement, no one dared to utter another word about dealing with Chief Guard. They seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Polar Ice Light as they began discussing other matters.
On the other side, Su Chen had learned that Wang Chun had taken control of the Polar Ice Light. He dispatched numerous scientists and engineers to study the structure of the Polar Ice Light, aiming to enable Red Alert Base to construct a brand-new superweapon—the Polar Ice Light! (To be continued)
