Two days later, the shuttle successfully arrived at the Saudi border in the Bermuda Galaxy. Although space pirates were rarely sighted here, it was common for the Saudi military to detain people. Luckily, they had a smooth journey. Upon landing, Zi'er and Anna decided to have a restful sleep at a hotel.

Regardless of the country, security at any border is usually quite chaotic. Zi Mou and Angelina were strong enough to protect themselves, but exceptions were always possible. To be on the safe side, officials allowed Feng Yi to accompany them under a new identity. In the upcoming actions, Feng Yi would inconveniently get entangled in a meaningless fight, completely losing contact with the two others.

In a certain hotel, steps of the operation started unfolding...

After a deep sleep during the night, Feng Yi woke up invigorated. The images of gods reflected on the ceiling, making him feel inexplicably cheerful. When the bells of the chapel rang in the rural town outside, the gentle sunlight had already come through the window.

With a untimely noise echoing in his ears, the tranquil countryside town was abruptly interrupted by gunshots. The rebels sounded the horn for an uprising once again. Even in this small Arctic village, there were brave patriots resisting the invading Saudis. Loaded with the blood of their ancestors, they were willing to confront the cold Saudi mechas with guns in their hands.

When the gunfire broke out, a Saudi defensive battalion immediately sounded the assembly horn. A building several hundred meters away from the battalion was also destroyed.

People in the hotel started peering out to see what was happening. Suddenly, a blast made Zi'er scream. Everyone urgently ran out of their rooms fearing an explosion. Normally, the rebels' combat areas were far from civilian areas. Why was it so abnormal today?

Feng Yi swiftly moved towards Zi'er and ask about the situation.

"Brother, I'm so scared."

"Damn rebels, wait for me. I'll be back." Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Feng Yi spat, coldly eyes glaring, cursed under his breath, left a threat and then turned to the door.

Following the direction of the noise, Feng Yi made several leaps and disappeared from people's sight. His speed was surprisingly fast, almost unimaginably so. Of course, ordinary people did not understand how formidable Feng Yi was.

However, an accident occurred. Just as people thought he would enter the conflict area, a blast that was louder than before made those close by cover their ears.

Then, from dust to dust. Feng Yi departed and did not return. Zi'er collapsed on the spot in shock. Soldiers from the Saudi border defence arrived at the hotel. When the Saudi captain and Zi Mou and Angelina locked eyes, it seemed as if there were silent messages being passed between them. This fleeting exchange went unnoticed by those around them.

"Please save my brother, quickly, I beg you!"

"Your brother, who is he?" The captain, somewhat excited, helped Zi'er up. He suddenly realised he was being too impulsive and his voice settled as he asked.

"Shadow, his name is Shadow. Others call him that."

The captain, hearing the code words, had fluctuating eyes... He signaled Zi'er and her friend to stay calm. He immediately left a squad of soldiers to protect the villagers, and promptly led the rest to the explosion site. Unfortunately, as the blast was so severe, several dozen people on the scene were already dead. There were still many body parts left, and many corpses in the distance. If a forensic examination was conducted, these burned bodies would be found to have been dead for several days.

The captain immediately sent a heavenly communication message to the high command with the exact location, and reported that a newly built facility had just been attacked. He estimated that several dozen people on site had already died, including an ordinary person whose family was residing in the nearby hotel.

The news caused some doubts among the military departments. How could a family member be affected by a rebel attack explosion? The situation was unusual. After making contact with the family and talking to them, they discovered the reason.

According to Zi'er's statement and information verification, her identity was quickly clarified. Zi'er was a Saudi national, from a merchant family, and a graduate of a military academy in Maraca. A few months ago, her family unfortunately perished in a large-scale conflict with the rebels. The only person she could call family was Shadow.

In fact, although Zi'er was of Saudi nationality, she had left Saudi when she was 14 years old and resided in the Freedom Port in Maraca. This mainly had to do with family business disputes — when she was young, Zi'er, by a twist of fate, had already met with Shadow. Of course, her cunning elders had noticed Shadow's interest in her and had her deliberately get close to Shadow.

Which of the young ladies in high society wasn't exposed to civilisation from a young age? She was farewell behaved, elegant, outstandingly beautiful, and extremely talented. It was simple to get close to Shadow, an assassin from an older generation. However, Zi'er was smart. Not only did she maintain a brother-sister relationship with Shadow, but she completely bound Shadow to her side after the Gomez incident. This woman was very influential.

However, all of this was not the main point. The main point was Zi'er's major. She had graduated from Maraca Military Academy with outstanding results, had a special knack for winning people over and made good friends with Anna, a local girl from Maraca. As a result, she did not hesitate to smuggle them back to Saudi on a ship.

Speaking of Anna, she was unmatched amongst her peers in the field of mecha technology on Triangular Star in Maraca. After considering all these reasons, one could only conclude that Zi'er was a formidable woman. She was both a mechanical genius and a military elite. Wasn't this exactly the kind of talent that the military department lacked? Of course, further issues would be closely examined. It's just a pity that Shadow had unfortunately died in the explosion, otherwise...

But this was unimportant. After submitting several reports to the military department, a high-ranking office not only did not penalise Zi'er for smuggling Anna, but also extended an invitation to both of them. A general from the high command directly initiated the communication.

A kind-faced elderly man appeared on the other end of the communicator. The general had all the soldiers leave the room and dove straight into the topic of Zi'er's intentions. He suspected that the reason she brought Anna was probably to help her restore her now-demised family, right?

When Zi'er's face showed that she had been exposed by his words, the general slowly continued to drop another bombshell. The child was smart, but sometimes her head didn't work properly. Actually, she could choose a faster shortcut to restore her family. Wouldn't it be a better choice to join forces with our Prince Shalian with her abilities and Anna's expertise?

Of course, this required her own efforts. As for the rest, it depends on how she would seize this opportunity. The general said he had personally suppressed this smuggling incident, but the final decision would still be up to Zi'er.

That noon, with the emergency launch of the border defense shuttle, Zi'er and Anna were directly summoned to the Capital Planet of Saudi.
