"I don't need any repayment from you, just leave as soon as you get well," the Blade Warrior murmured, fluttering her beautiful eyelashes. She tried to discern something from Yita's actions, considering that Yita 13 was a robot that had been forcefully commanded by Saudi, so its safety as a free agent remained in question.

"I... have regained my freedom?"

Yita stood up, looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, and the tight skin, hardly believing that the self-destruct device inside had been disabled, and that someone would let him go with no strings attached.

Yita 13 didn't think anyone would be so kind-hearted. "You helped me, what's your purpose, and where is this place?" he turned and asked the Blade Warrior.

"As I've said, there is no special purpose. You and I are both robots, perhaps that's the reason. As for this place," the Blade Warrior clearly informed Yita, "this is Maraca Freedom Port, to be exact, the headquarters of the Combat Power Tester company."

Yita pondered upon hearing this…

Actually, during the neurosurgery that took place 6 hours earlier, the Blade Warrior had been communicating electronically with Yita 13, engaging in conversation and repeatedly implanting a temporary memory chip into Yita's body to conduct experiments. She found Yita 13's independent personality quite interesting. She was not designed for combat nor did she take pleasure in it. When told about her current situation through the computer and asked for cooperation, Yita 13 would show resistance, but since she had received help, she would still comply with the requests made.

When she was told the unvarnished truth about her situation, the environment, and her body condition, and that she was being let go without any demands, she, who didn't know where to go, would instead stay. After all, a Yita without the self-destruct program, if returned to Saudi, would be destroyed and her memory would be erased, so wandering was the only choice. To her, wandering seemed less desirable than companionship, a bit more feelings involved, although Yita expressed it differently each time, in essence, it all came down to the same thing.

Unfortunately, Yita 13 was not aware that those brief memories had been tampered with by the Blade Warrior into temporary ones. She naively thought this schemer was a good person, how could she know that the other party had her personality down pat? She was completely played by the Blade Warrior, just like a walkthrough in a game. It could be said that every word the Blade Warrior had spoken had been rehearsed in advance. She had even copied a set of Yita 13's memory data specifically for this purpose.

Of course, this manipulation was a one-time thing. Now, Yita had been reassembled without the temporary memory chip. In other words, to delete her memory again, they would have to format her forcibly. If that happened, Yita 13 would no longer be herself and would become a machine lifeform without self-awareness. The Blade Warrior couldn't be sure if the memory copy made earlier was reliable. It was like copy and paste.

Yita 13 didn't find the company Combat Power Tester unfamiliar. In Saudi, she'd been implanted with a compulsory command program. Any behavior or thought of resisting the program commands would be forcibly modified by the program. Yita 13 had been aware of this all along and aside from obeying, she had no choice. But now, having regained her freedom, to express gratitude to the Blade Warrior, she indicated her willingness to follow the latter, to be a lily flower.

Of course, her biggest acknowledgement of the Blade Warrior came from her responses, and as for her own body structure and related matters, Yita 13 was willing to let her research it. From now on, she would be called 13.

The Blade Warrior hurriedly interjected, "Rather than 13, let's stick to calling you Yita. Of course, if you like 13, I have no objections. That's settled, then. I am quite busy. The bed is over there; if you want to hibernate or recharge, you can take care of it yourself." As the Blade Warrior spoke, she analyzed Yita's detailed body structure chart…

At the same time, Feng Yi had already found Francis. There were not many formalities between brothers; he directly told Francis his intentions, to procure as many Space Crystals as possible. As for their use, of course, it was for war, especially since the Blazing Legion had added 2000 more units to the Assembly Number 9 ranks. He hoped to resolve the Space Crystal issue quickly.

As for how far he could go, that wasn't for him to consider. It was down to luck—it was a clever trick he had come up with. But honestly, having experienced defeat, Feng Yi couldn't guarantee that he had considered everything thoroughly.

Previously, Francis really didn't understand why this guy needed so many Space Crystals, given that the young master wasn't interested in military topics. He was a businessman, and Feng Yi was a military man. Some things were not for him to know. But once Feng Yi mentioned going to war, Francis immediately understood. He wasn't that he couldn't trust him, but rather he was somewhat incredulous that Feng Yi was planning something so grand.

"Young man, you're not thinking of turning your legion into a strike force, are you?"

"As you think," Feng Yi shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

This world seemed to have gone mad, Francis said, "I support any of your decisions, but are you sure you want to distribute these Space Crystals to every squad and platoon?"

"Of course, if possible, I would prefer to distribute them to every soldier to maximize efficiency. All of this is military secrecy."
