Back to the topic. After some interrogation, they also successfully got some information from this armed militant. Simply put, the sponsor of this group of troops had asked them to come to the rooftop of Balai Tower B to do something. But because this person was just a low-ranking soldier, he was not clear about the content of the commission. And a few of them were responsible for guarding there. As long as they found someone entering the building, they needed to take measures to prevent the other party from getting closer.
Hearing this, Wise instantly understood.
"I see. The power outage was your doing."
Come to think of it, that's right. How could an Ethereal be smart enough to control the power supply? It's just that the other party cutting off the power caused them to go through so much trouble. This is really damn annoying.
"Y-yes. At first, I thought you were also just troublemakers here for an adventure, and thought I could just scare you off and be done with it. Who would have thought you were so amazing and solved the power problem in an instant. The captain said that with your strength, you are definitely not ordinary people. You were probably here to save that girl, so he had us go and attract that strange Ethereal..."
This armed militant originally wanted to continue to defend himself and put more blame on his own captain, but Wise caught the key point in his words.
"Wait a minute. The girl you're talking about, where is Wrench now? What did you do to her?"
Hearing Wise's tone suddenly become serious, the armed militant also instantly felt something was wrong. In the end, his teeth chattered slightly as he explained. "That gir... that young lady is currently with the captain on the rooftop of Tower B. She's not in any life-threatening danger for now!"
This armed militant's emphasis and explanation did not bring him safety, because Lycaon then spoke to him in a very oppressive tone. "I can assume that you have just admitted that your unit 'kidnapped Miss Wrench', right? Lina, you ask him for other details. Mr. Wise, a word with you."
Lycaon's words made the soldier's body tremble violently, as if he had recalled something terrible. As for Lina, she calmly said 'yes', and then approached the soldier with a smile. The latter showed an exaggerated fear of this, as if he wished he could sink his body into the wall.
Seeing him like this, Wise also suddenly thought of something, and then turned his head to look at Lina.
"Miss Lina, may I ask a question?"
"Please, go ahead, Mr. Wise. I believe this gentleman will definitely cooperate well, right?"
Lina squinted her eyes and looked over with a smile. The soldier immediately nodded frantically upon seeing this. "Yes, yes! I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
"Why did you choose to attack me at that time?"
Wise was only confused about this one point. After all, his combat power along the way should not have been weak. At that time, when he heard the sound of the missiles, he had almost subconsciously thought that they were going to attack the seemingly weaker Belle (Eous).
"Th-this, well..."
"Hm?"
"Ah! Sorry! Actually, it was because we thought you were too handsome at that time, and you were also chatting happily with two cute girls along the way. We were jealous for a moment, so that's why..."
The soldier did not continue to speak, but Wise could be considered to have understood the whole process. This was not difficult to understand. After all, psychologically speaking, everyone would have the thought of wanting to destroy beautiful things. It's just that most people's moral level could suppress this thought.
Wise did not pay much more attention to this side, but instead followed Lycaon to the side. As for what would happen to that soldier? That would depend on what Lina wanted to do.
Arriving at the statue in the plaza, Lycaon turned to look at Wise, then closed his eyes and spoke. "Mr. Wise, a smart person like you should know what I want to ask you next, right?"
"I understand. I'm sorry for hiding it from you before. The purpose of my visit here this time is also precisely to explain this matter."
Lycaon asked this question as Wise had expected. And since he had no intention of hiding it in the first place, he explained Wrench's identity as a hacker.
"I see. Then it's very likely that the other party kidnapped her for her abilities. The rooftop of Balai Tower is an excellent transmission location." Lycaon made an analysis, and Wise also nodded in agreement.
"At present, this group of bandits is still entrenched on the top of the building, which means they are still carrying out their mission. We must act quickly to rescue Wrench, otherwise there may be other changes."
As he said this, Wise immediately thought of the airship that Nicole and her team were on. Its flight path was about to pass over Balai Tower.
"Victoria Housekeeping also has this intention. Wise, I will make some preparations for the upcoming action. Please wait for our subsequent contact." After saying this, Lycaon left in a hurry. And seeing this matter end, Wise instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally been afraid that this would cause a rift. But now that it was fine, then he should go and see Corin and Ellen first.
When Wise walked over, he saw Ellen still asleep, still in that curled-up posture. And Corin was standing quietly beside her.
"How is it, Corin? Are you two okay?"
"Mmm, thank you for your concern, big brother Wise. Corin is fine. As for Miss Ellen, she should be waking up soon." Corin appeared a bit happy after seeing Wise arrive. The latter, seeing this, also reached out and stroked her little head.
"I brought some candy. Do you want some?"
"No, thank you. Corin doesn't really like candy. But Miss Ellen likes it very much, so let's just leave it all for her."
Hearing Corin's words, Wise didn't say much. In the end, he took the candy and came to Ellen. He had originally thought of taking out a piece of candy and waving it in front of her nose to wake her up with the smell. But he didn't expect that as soon as he stretched out his finger, Ellen would immediately open her mouth and bite down... (Content Deleted)...
Wise used a tissue to wipe the residual saliva from his finger. Looking at Ellen who had woken up and was eating candy in front of him, he only felt that she was very cute.
"Ellen, now that you're awake, do you want to eat some candy to replenish your strength?"
