Contrary to her looks, she was an excellent body awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. No fun.\" The long haired man clicked his tongue and grabbed at a corner of the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, a palm-sized disc appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the space lock dissolved and everything turned to normal. The three of them also put their bracelets back into their storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This little bitch cost us too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. But were three keys even necessary? They were pretty pricey as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, chat later.\" The petite woman glared and said. \"They'll be here in less than a minute. Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded reluctantly. The lack of difficulty was hard to swallow.

So, despite the enemy technocrat trying to fiddle with it, they had no problem in finding her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they reached her even before Hina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Varian witnessed the murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have changed a thing—getting too close them would've exposed ghost ship and sabotaged the entire plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grant family man should be rewarded for his dope acting skills. Seeing Liluh, he showed a shocked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How shocked you ask?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As shocked when realizing their favorite heroine was actually a guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, that analogy wasn't really appropriate.\" Boo felt like its master was becoming more carefree and also a bit stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo didn't understand why the gender issue. But it did conclude one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling in love kills your brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow the kidnappers.\" Varian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah~I forgot. Yes.\" Boo facepalmed and the ghost ship took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A super AI, you forgot?' Varian looked at Boo with pity. Sure enough, staying stupid makes you more stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost ship soon reached a slum and entered an underground tunnel. There was a team of twelve awaiting the three kidnappers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betty was skillfully wrapped into a box with life-support and the box was quickly transported to a spaceport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Varian's incredulous stare, the box somehow wasn't found under the security checks and was transported to a private space shuttle responsible for delivering personalized goods for rich people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space shuttle took off without a hitch and ghost ship followed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Halt everything in the spaceport. Open everything and check! Check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the space shuttle took off, all spaceports of Valos were locked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome middle-aged man wearing a military uniform appeared at the warehouse and clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his eyes literally spat fire, the warehouse was burnt to ashes leaving behind only his melancholic voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Betty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally!\" Varian grinned from ear to ear as the space shuttle they were tailing shook lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small space pod exited the space ship and another similar pod entered it. The space shuttle continued to travel in its registered route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space pod, however, headed towards an unknown destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thirty minutes of travel, it reached a spot and disappeared abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secret Realm.\" Varian muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm. Master, I can feel it.\" Boo nodded and ghost ship's stealth was activated to its fullest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a whoosh, they entered the most secretive area of Valos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was dazzled by the grandeur of the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a dazzling skyline, pristine roads, and elegant designs, this place looked more like a city than Valos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was only a secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironically, Varian found districts belonging to each major gang of Valos. Caso Brotherhood had one. Viper gang had one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Grant family had one. But they operated under the name of Obsidian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit! These gangsters are living better lives than everyone else.\" Varian laughed at the irony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more than that, he laughed at their future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll burn everything you built to crisp.\" Varian's smile widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the last seven days, he developed a weird feeling towards the Uranus cluster cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the hardships he faced, he never had to go through such terrible living conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him who considered his life as one filled with difficulty, Valos was a living example that people had it much worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\" Boo's called snapped him out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\" Varian realized that ghost ship was entering a huge building with a symbol \"C\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo hacked into he building and Varian was able to see everything at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….Insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were rooms literally filled with aura crystals, advanced weapons, storage devices and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the building's AI, they were the loots of kidnapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Betty…what are they doing?\" Varian found Betty in a lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was strapped to a white bed and two women were about to inject her with some strange liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian hesitated for a moment before sighing. \"Boo…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost ship entered the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to expectations, this floor didn't have any strong security. It was filled with level 1s and level 2s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them wore white suits and had a special feel around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the building's database, he knew who they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Researchers. Scientists. Architects. Designers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some kidnapped, others voluntary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women stiffened as they heard a voice in their minds. Before they could yell, a powerful mental force attacked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their pupils dilated and their heart halted for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You've already injected her. Already injected her.' Varian planted a mental suggestion in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he used his telekinetic powers and grabbed the syringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo acted timely for once and emptied the barrel. Of course, it also simultaneously managed the camera in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian nodded in appreciation and sent the syringes back to their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he withdrew his powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? What happened?\" The woman standing in front of Betty muttered in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? We injected her.\" The other woman replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirm it with security. I heard she's an important target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you expect? She's the only one that's injected with such a high dose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women turned to the camera in the room and gave a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera turned green, indicating that everything went as per protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the security room clicked on a button and informed his superior.. \"Sir, injecting complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1233,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.289Z",1,"novelbin.me","b58f29215949b2e4c10fac26e6784e99cf095fbd46638cd392e5288da696f12e","divine-path-system-chapter-229","divine-path-system-chapter-228",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
