Chapter 1173: Delivered to the Door

~8 min read 1,443 words

A night without words.

Early the next morning, just as the warm yellow winter sun crossed the skyline pieced together by metal and earth and spilled onto the long street filled with gears and copper pipes, Li Ang and the female reporter had already left the residence arranged by the Wang Gong Kingdom and boarded a strange-looking tram.

Due to the complex planning between the blocks and the frequent changes in position, the Wang Gong Kingdom had banned almost all private transportation tools nearly a hundred years ago and changed to trams that extended in all directions.

Coupled with the upper and lower two-layer city structure of the Wang Gong Kingdom, except for a few special roads such as the airport that were specifically opened, small floating cars were also completely banned from flying. Therefore, even visiting foreign envoys could not enjoy the special treatment of "dedicated car pickup," and could only rely on public transportation.

However, compared to ordinary citizens, Prince Li Ang, as an envoy, did get a little privilege—for example, he could eat breakfast on the tram.

"No...... you eat this stuff every day when you are in the Wang Gong Kingdom?"

Holding a fork and stirring the pink-purple meat paste in the bowl, and pressing the yellow-green mixed vegetable puree in the dish with a spoon, squeezing out a puddle of fluorescent green juice, Li Ang, who had no appetite, put down the tableware, turned his head to look at the female reporter beside him, and asked with a stiff face:

"Not to mention whether this thing is delicious or not, I just want to know one thing now. What is there in this pile of cold paste they sent over that needs to be forked?"

"This...... the appearance might be a bit poor, but it is still very good for the body."

After hearing Li Ang's speechless complaint, the female reporter, as a native of the Wang Gong Kingdom, suddenly felt embarrassed, and then said helplessly:

"I don't know the specifics, but in short, many, many years ago, the Science Department of the Wang Gong Kingdom relied on Atifi 01's computing power to find the food ratio that best guarantees human health.

And after completely banning the original food and forcibly implementing it for 10 years, the Wang Gong Kingdom's annual expenditure on medical care was directly reduced to 15% of the original, and it is even said that the average life expectancy can be extended by six to ten years."

But if the price of living long is to eat cold paste for a full sixty years, then I would rather live a little less......

Disgustedly digging a spoonful of vegetable puree without any spices, and stiffly filling it into his mouth, feeling the strange texture like grass that had been chewed halfway and was forcibly snatched from a goat's mouth when it was ruminating, Li Ang's facial features twisted involuntarily.

To be honest, he had never understood the Aquarius Director so well. Anyone who had eaten this semi-fermented wet garbage for more than a hundred years would have to become mentally abnormal!

Sigh! Forget it, anyway, I'll only eat for a few days.

Enduring the nausea and swallowing the life-sign maintenance meal, Li Ang dug various pastes without tasting them, while using his fingers to press against the black goat's horns, and asked through soul communication:

'Let's not talk about the food matter first...... Nicole, are you ready for action?'

'Ready.'

After hearing Li Ang's inquiry, the female reporter first glanced at the reception staff following her and Li Ang in the carriage, then nodded slightly:

'I am familiar with the cleaners of the Gemini Branch. If anyone is protecting Prince Andre, no matter who comes, I am confident that I can subdue them in the first place.'

'As long as you are confident.'

Li Ang nodded after hearing this, then reached into his pocket and tapped a small flower inside with his fingertips.

'How about the two seniors? Are you ready?'

'No problem.'

'We are also ready.'

After receiving Li Ang's soul fluctuation, the two Level 2 cleaners hiding in the flower buds also gave a positive answer.

'Very good, then before starting the action, let's take a final inventory of our respective missions.'

Li Ang blinked and said seriously:

'According to the plan I discussed with Branch Chief Edward, after seeing Prince Andre, I will invite him to take me to tour the celebration of the Wang Gong Kingdom, and take the opportunity of the crowd to try to make him separate from the guards, creating an opportunity to take action.

After that, Nicole is responsible for solving the cleaners who might be by his side, and I will take the opportunity to knock Prince Andre unconscious and hand him over to Senior Ruben, and finally rely on Senior Ruben's 【Flower Fairy】 to hide him in the flower bud and take him away.

In addition, Branch Chief Edward and several other seniors are pressing the formation for us in the 05 Life Zone three blocks away. If the situation is not right, then Senior Frankie will fish us away and send us directly to Branch Chief Edward's vicinity, letting him help us withdraw directly...... Are these all okay?'

'No problem!' The female reporter swallowed the vegetable paste in her mouth and nodded slightly.

'I am ready.'

Ruben, wearing a grass-leaf suit, patted his chest in the small flower in Li Ang's pocket.

'Don't worry, everything will definitely go smoothly!'

Frankie, who was also hiding in the small flower and carrying a miniature fishing rod on his back, made an ok gesture and guaranteed confidently:

'As long as Prince Andre appears, we guarantee that we will be able to catch him!'

"Very sorry."

An elderly attendant wearing a formal dress bowed to Li Ang and the female reporter, his expression slightly apologetic:

"Prince Andre suddenly caught a cold last night and is now running a high fever, so I'm afraid he cannot come to accompany you to tour the celebration."

"......"

My damn luck......

Looking at the sincere old attendant in front of him, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch fiercely, and his face was as green as the vegetable paste churning in his stomach.

For today's action, he finally persuaded the Scorpio Branch Chief, and carefully prepared for most of the night, not only memorizing the map of the blocks where the festival was held, but even thinking about how to escape if he was ambushed.

As a result, at this critical moment when the bullet was already in the chamber and the animal trap had been set, the prey didn't come out of the hole and stayed at home for a nap!

"Are you sure he caught a cold?"

Having set up the posture, but ended up empty-handed, looking at the old attendant in front of him whose soul was constantly jumping and who was clearly lying, Li Ang, who was greatly disappointed, couldn't help but say with a dark face:

"Why do I feel that your Prince Andre is just simply too lazy to come out?"

"This...... you are joking......"

After hearing Li Ang's questioning, the old attendant's eyelids twitched slightly, and he accompanied him with two awkward smiles, then said somewhat insincerely:

"His Highness Andre is usually...... quite diligent, but he has been in poor health since he was a child, so it is inevitable to catch a cold occasionally. I hope you understand."

"Heh, how do you want me to understand?"

Since Prince Andre, the target, didn't arrive, Li Ang naturally didn't have the leisure to tour the celebration, so he simply "flew into a rage" and said:

"How many times has this been? Although the national power cannot compare to your Wang Gong, I am still a prince no matter what! You can't even send a royal family member to accompany me! You are simply......"

"Your Excellency Li Ang~"

And just as the prince was about to make a fuss and leave, a crisp greeting suddenly came from afar.

"Sorry, I'm late."

After nodding and apologizing to Li Ang, who was somewhat surprised, the young girl who arrived late surrounded by a team of guards pinched the corner of her skirt and performed a standard lady's salute, then smiled like a flower:

"I am the Sixth Princess Fei Liya. Brother Andre is not feeling well, but in order to show respect to Your Excellency the Prince, he specifically sent someone to find me and let me accompany you to tour the celebration...... Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
