MD, this little dinosaur proved unreliable, and at that moment, Feng Yi decided to don his vest and walk the old path, adhering to the perennial bachelor's code: if you can't walk away, you might as well sit tight into a hole until death — either you kill me, or I'll be killed by you.

With just 7 minutes left, Feng Yi could faintly feel the roaring engine causing the ground to thunder...

"Brother, what's happening?" Eggy's tone shifted abruptly, and his relaxed expression vanished instantly.

"Didn't I tell you there were pursuers, and not just one of them?"

"Damn! You should have said earlier. Now, what are our chances of escaping?"

Feng Yi rubbed his chin, deep in thought for a long time. He wasn't sure about their chances of success either. "With the situation as it is, we're probably done for."

"Then fire up the Gundam."

"If it were as easy as you say things would have been manageable. My personal exposure is secondary, I'm afraid that firing up the Gundam won't engage the enemy directly. Our goal isn't to fight for the sake of fighting, but to contain the enemy, which is the core issue."

"They're here!"

As Feng Yi was about to speak, the blood-red mecha halted abruptly before him, its roaring engines whipping up a robust wind, causing his cloak to flutter loudly in the gusts...

The Devil Angel made no move to attack. Instead, it hovered motionlessly in the void. A complex voice from Jiu Ling emanated from the speakers: "Rafael..."

"Hmm, Jiu Ling..."

Feng Yi responded, his voice not loud, but with a piercing strength that made it clear for Jiu Ling to hear.

Looking at this adversary he had battled many times both online and in reality, and having never won even once, stirred a ripple of emotion in her heart.

The very person she wished to defeat was Rafael, who unsettled her emotions.

Jiu Ling never denied that she had been moved, but that was the extent of it. What truly made her heart race were his actions — the man who stepped forward and saved the little you.

He had that kind of untamed personality; even when he made a rescue, he treated it as something done in passing without a second thought. But who really understood what else lay beneath his exterior? At least at that critical moment, she wasn't able to save him, and she didn't even dare to say she had the courage to step forward, but he did. His soul-deep creed touched Jiu Ling's heart.

Jiu Ling hesitated for long before speaking softly, "Surrender now, you have no chance of victory left. I will do my best to plead with the Military Department on your behalf."

"I appreciate your sentiment," Feng Yi sighed inexplicably, then slowly lit a cigarette — some words are better left unsaid as they sit heavier on the stomach.

Utterly foolish, why should one show any sentiment to an enemy? Kexiao's gaze rarely turned so stern. An order soon came through Jiu Ling's communicator, issued from the high command: "Jiu Ling, take down this man immediately."

Jiu Ling ignored Kexiao, it was the first time she had defied a superior's order. "And your answer?"

Feng Yi laughed, saying that the Devil Angel might not necessarily catch up to his pace. He welcomed the challenge. This reply caught Jiu Ling off-guard. It was already the greatest concession she could offer.

Of course, Feng Yi wasn't unaware of the voices coming from his communicator, and his feelings were very complex... Since when had it become so troubling to deal with a woman? It could be said that with his current indecipherable relationship with Jiu Ling, delaying some time wasn't impossible, but doing so would not be in Feng Yi's character.

As he pondered this, a gust of wind assaulted his face from afar, and he knew without a doubt that it was another Mecha approaching. If this continued to develop, he might not even wait for the fiery troops to make their sudden descent before he was finished.

The plan had never been perfect, and by this time, Feng Yi couldn't care less; an arrow on the bowstring must be shot, so to hell with it, he might as well board his Mecha and fight!

"Eggy, shield me from the Sky Eye."

"Okay."

Shreeek!

Feng Yi swiftly backflipped to gain distance, and with a flash of the Space Crystal, a black Mecha materialized out of thin air—it was the infamous Revenge Shadow Rider.

Yet Feng Yi held back from attacking.

"Revenge Shadow Rider..."

Jiu Ling spoke haltingly, realizing it was indeed him! Facing him alone, she almost had no chance of winning, but for some reason, she vaguely understood that the Revenge Shadow Rider wouldn't strike her, at least not now with this unclear emotional connection between them.

With a thunderous roar, Dovir and Xia Mu arrived in quick succession, having come from afar via light transmission. The two still didn't understand the current situation, but undoubtedly, even if the three of them joined forces against the Revenge Shadow Rider, gaining the upper hand would be difficult; after all, everyone remembered how during the last fight, it took four of them just to hold him off. And if they tried to delay, the Revenge Shadow Rider was bound to be in trouble soon.

But now it was different, even if the three attacked together, not to mention whether they could hold him off, the moment he executed Augustins' Army Breaking Slash, whether they could even defend themselves was another matter, and both of them looked quite somber.

"Jiu Ling, what's happening? He didn't attack you."

Jiu Ling hummed in response, "It's a long story, but even with the three of us together, the odds aren't good."

Kexiao simply stood still, watching them and mused briefly...

Why had Feng Yi boarded his Mecha now, when he hadn't just before? He even wondered if there was some mechanical issue with the black Mecha, but as soon as Revenge Shadow Rider boarded the Mecha, Kexiao immediately dismissed his previous somewhat ridiculous thoughts.

Feng Yi's arrival in Saudi was not for a mere vacation; every time, from capturing Vivian to liberating the rebel camps, this man had meddled. But what was his purpose this time? What was it!?

One mysterious puzzle after another seemed to rise to the surface at this moment, first with Prince Shabak's political accusations, then the collective mobilization of private armies by powerful families, all too coincidentally timed.

Though those second-rate family forces were quickly suppressed, who else dared to lead them if not one person? From what he could conjecture, only Feng Yi had such unimaginable capabilities.

At this time, Feng Yi, with his formidable abilities, should have been on some important mission, though Kexiao couldn't think too far ahead at the moment. It was definitely impossible for him to appear so openly in public, especially during such sensitive times. Digging three feet into the ground, Saudi would certainly seek to uncover the identity of this instigator.

Feng Yi had access to a black Mecha but chose to escape on foot over such a distance. He could even have used his abilities to find a perfect hiding spot, yet he risked darting across this deserted wasteland—an answer faintly emerged...

Rather than say Feng Yi was fleeing, it was more appropriate to call it a strategic diversion. If he could draw all our super soldiers here, given the chaos at the Capital and the shaky situations without super soldiers to guard it, even a small troop might be able to instantly seize the Capital and achieve his strategic objective.

Suddenly, Kexiao abruptly stood up straight from his chair!
