Chapter 1242: Chapter 707: Snatching People! S-Class Sorcery Returns to the World!

In the 23rd City, at two o’clock in the morning, the lights were still bright, and only by four o’clock would the revelers disperse.

For the Inner World Federation people, the night is meant for celebration, as their sleep has long been shortened to four hours.

The Federation war seems to have had no impact on the prosperity here, with various consortiums cautiously keeping the war restricted to the wilderness.

Zheng Yuandong was moving through the streets, silently calculating the route Qing Chen had given him.

After the Parents’ Meeting arrived in the 23rd City, they didn’t just develop the fourth district; they also disguised themselves as civilians to map out the streets, PCE Security Committee checkpoints, and Garrison Forces distribution points.

The route Zheng Yuandong was walking now was meticulously designed by Qing Chen, with the Garrison Forces unknowingly deploying along his path in their entirety just to capture this one person.

A banquet was ongoing in the Second District.

At the top floor of the luxurious Lotte Hotel in the Second District, a female celebrity dressed in an evening gown was seated at a grand piano, her fingers dancing across the keys.

The silver gown was adorned with diamonds, appearing exceptionally bright and dazzling.

In the dance floor, men in suits invited women to dance together.

Around the dance floor, over a hundred people held champagne, smiling brightly as they conversed.

Outside the banquet hall, dozens of Garrison troops stood guard, even at the restroom doors.

At this moment, a cleaner arrived with a cart of supplies and said to the Garrison Forces, "Hello, I’m here to clean the restroom and replace the fragrance."

The Garrison troops used a detector on him and meticulously checked the cart.

"Go in," said the soldier expressionlessly.

Just then, four middle-aged men came laughing and chatting, glancing at the soldier, "Do we need to be checked, just for a restroom?"

The two Garrison soldiers quickly replied, "No need for you gentlemen."

These were scientists ranked 3rd, 4th, 18th, and 19th under surveillance on Deer Island, prominent figures in the 23rd City.

If it weren’t for the current situation, Deer Island normally wouldn’t offend them.

Even under surveillance, they would be treated civilly.

The four scientists continued chatting and laughing as they entered the restroom, with the soldiers outside listening to their laughter.

Before long, the cleaner left with the cart, but the scientists’ cheerful conversation continued inside the restroom.

But then something strange happened; a soldier asked quietly, "How long have they been in?"

"Five minutes!" another soldier replied.

"Something’s wrong. Where can’t they chat? Why come here to chat? I’ll take a look!"

The soldier drew his pistol from under his arm, quickly pushed open the door, and walked inside, but the restroom was empty. Only a mobile phone left on the urinal was playing a recorded chat.

The soldier was shocked, opening every restroom stall door to find them all empty, with just a round hole left on one.

In just five minutes, all four major scientists had vanished without a trace!

"Something’s wrong; that cleaner was suspicious. Seal off the building and find that cleaner!" The soldier shouted into the communication channel, "Seal the elevator; we’re on the 166th floor; he won’t have time to escape!"

But the cleaner never took the elevator.

The family member had already reached the rooftop above the 166th floor, crossed the wide helicopter landing pad, and leaped from the edge.

Then, he pulled the parachute from his back, gracefully leaving the air.

When the Garrison soldiers saw his figure from the window, they immediately called the Garrison Forces to seal the ground and capture this family member.

However, most of the local Garrison Forces had already been drawn away by a suspected demigod target, while the remaining few were deployed to the Deer Island Li Official Residence in the 23rd City, guarding the true authority.

The scientists were important, but survival was even more crucial.

If this person was indeed at the demigod level, without a regular military for protection, the Deer Island Li Official Residence might face total annihilation tonight.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the Fourth District of the 23rd City, a symphony orchestra was performing an exquisite concert at the ’Hiroro’ Music Hall.

On stage, the orchestra’s violin music was vibrant and uplifting, while the cello was deep and melodious, with hundreds of dignitaries seated below, absorbed in the music.

Among them were 14 scientists ranked 1st, 7th, 9th, each an extraordinarily important academic legend.

They were dressed in formal wear, bow ties at their collars, and their wives, although aged, carried themselves with exceptional poise.

At the same time, with 14 key monitored scientists suddenly attending this particular concert, the event itself was unusual.

The Deer Island intelligence department had immediately surrounded the entire music hall with several hundred soldiers guarding each entry and exit, armed and ready to shoot.

Under such tight security, hundreds of people were mingling among the crowd, swiftly approaching the Hiroro Music Hall.

Upon reaching the main entrance, these hundreds exchanged glances and all donned a red badge.
