Chapter 199 82 Take Whatever You Like, I only Want Mason Cooper! [415]
Chapter 199 82. Take whatever you like, I only want Mason Cooper! --【415】
(Additional chapter for brother ‘Captain Autism’!)
Mr. Hunter’s anger is multifaceted, not only because Mason stabbed her in the back at a critical moment, but also because she knows that her identity may be exposed.
She didn’t play the cross-dressing game in the Star Club just because she thought it was fun.
Her past identity was somewhat sensitive, and if she wanted to gain people’s trust and disguise herself to the end, she had to hide it in all aspects.
So far, she has done well. The swordsman and the warlock may suspect her gender but don’t know her true origins. It’s just that Mason’s trick has revealed a flaw.
The young man didn’t know the existence of the swordsman, but the hunter knew that there was more than one master mentor in the last night of the assassin world.
The most important thing now is to confirm whether the swordsman has also returned to the Star Castle.
It would be best if that guy didn’t come back. If he did, he would test how much intelligence she got during the few hours she shamelessly disguised herself as a low-level staff member and mixed in with the K team.
On the way back to Star Castle, Mr. Hunter was still complaining.
It's such a big world! Why did a random teleportation at a critical moment happen to send a living person like Swordsman directly to Mason.
It's really weird!
The most important thing is, how come that guy who usually looks like a brain atrophy suddenly becomes smart when he sees Mason, and even came up with a fake identity to hide information and get intelligence.
Could it be that the Swordsman's brainless appearance is just a disguise to deceive her and the Warlock?
Could it be that she is the best actor among the three mentors?
Not really, right?
With such thoughts, Hunter quickly returned to Star Castle.
As she expected, the castle has been completely under martial law. The elite modified people from the Cleaner Corps are guarding all the exits inside and outside. The connection between the entire demiplane and the outside world is completely cut off. There are also some mysterious guys from the headquarters world who are interrogating the castle staff.
This is obviously catching a traitor.
Judging from what happened in the Assassin's World, there must be more than one pair of eyes in the Star Society. In the past seven months of contact, the intelligence system of the party has been almost one-way transparent to the other party.
The Isu light blade that was accurately shot at the core of the World Gate can confirm this.
There is a traitor in the old nest. The nature of this matter is not ordinary. If it is not for the impact of the nearby time node, it is estimated that the entire Star Castle will be bloody.
But Mr. Hunter is quite disdainful of this remedial action at the moment. The fact that the traitor was caught in such a big fanfare shows that the problems on his side are really big.
However, this is a really good thing for the two-five guys who are determined to become the "Destroyer of the Star Society", which means that all the defects of the Star Society can be used by them.
From this point of view, Mr. Hunter also has to thank the Assassin's World for this wave of events.
"Mr. Hunter! The two great mentors, the Warlock and the Swordsman, are waiting for you on the top floor."
As soon as she entered the hall of the Star Castle, which still smelled of blood, an elf staff member who was frightened and pale came forward to report.
There was blood on this guy's clothes, and it was obvious that he was almost caught in the crossfire.
When the hunter heard that his two companions were waiting on the top floor, his heart jumped.
Damn it!
The swordsman came back faster than her?
This must be because the sleeping potion injected by Mason delayed her time. When entering the elevator to the top floor, Mr. Hunter began to think about various responses.
It's not that his identity was exposed.
At the last moment, those fierce assassins had cleared the scene. What happened during that time was impossible for the swordsman to know, because even the hunter himself, as the "party involved", didn't know.
So the worst situation at the moment is that the swordsman tells the warlock all the information she has discovered, resulting in the sharing of the Isu secrets that the Quint Club has been trying to figure out with the Star Club.
If this is true, it means that a crucial opportunity has been wasted.
"Plans really can't keep up with changes."
The hunter sighed in his heart. If he had known that the swordsman would disrupt the situation, he shouldn't have rushed out to save her when she was led into a trap by the assassins before.
I had thought that she would owe me a favor and use it at a critical moment, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
But thinking about it carefully, this is already the third "out of control incident" related to Team K.
First, there was the counterattack of Gotham City, then the accidental shooting in the Spider-Man world, and finally the precise backstab in the assassin world. Things related to Mason never seem to go according to the plan of Mr. Hunter or the Star Society.
And it was not until this moment that she realized an important problem belatedly!
It took at least four hours for her to be knocked down by Mason and wake up at the dock in Gotham. During these four hours, she had no ability to protect herself at all.
If that guy had bad intentions.
Thinking of this, her fingers touched the gap in her robe and grabbed an ordinary button, but after crushing it casually, she saw the precise and weird electronic components in the button as expected.
That little bastard!
The silver teeth under the mask clenched tightly. He actually dared to install a monitor on himself while he was unconscious?
Where did he get such courage!
"Snapped"
The door of the tutor's hall was pushed open, and the swordsman who had changed his clothes was lying sickly on the single sofa, while the warlock held two medicine bottles in his hand, obviously treating her.
Seeing the hunter who was radiating coldness walking in, the swordsman immediately jumped up and shouted to her while the hunter looked at her in surprise:
"You came back safely. It was worth my worry. I haven't even said thank you to you yet for rescuing me from that damn demigod and covering my early evacuation.
I apologize for thinking you were an asshole, Hunter.
The truth is revealed in times of crisis, and you are a good and trustworthy companion. "
"Um?"
The hunter narrowed his eyes.
What nonsense is this guy talking about?
etc!
Was she gesturing for him to follow her words? This guy doesn't want what happened in the assassin world to be known to warlocks? Ha, sure enough, this guy was always pretending to be silly.
Very scheming.
"Hmph, it's good to know. You can count on me to come forward next time you encounter something like this."
The hunter snorted, covered the wound and sat on the sofa. She glanced at the warlock and said:
"How is the situation? The World Gate itself is not damaged, right?"
"With that energy intensity, it's not even close to directly impacting the World Gate itself, but the projection core of the Star Castle was completely shattered, and it would take seven days to re-create it."
The warlock said in a gloomy tone:
“This fragmentation will directly affect hundreds of worlds connected to the Star Castle, and a large-scale loss of contact may cause unnecessary ripples.
It just so happens that people are already in panic as the impact approaches, so there is no time for you two to recover from your injuries.
Rest for a few hours and then take the members of the Council of Twelve to patrol between the important worlds. I will sit in the headquarters and repair the communications as soon as possible.
besides!
This incident has alarmed Lord Destiny, who requires us to conduct a thorough investigation and allocate part of our manpower to search for traces of the world of Isu assassins in the parallel world system after the impact is over.
It considered the knowledge of the Isu very important and shared the matter with its higher authorities.
Specific instructions may come out in the next few days.
Speaking of which, it is understandable that the hunter and swordsman jumped in and were seriously injured by a sneak attack without finding any clues. But you stayed there for four hours. Didn't you find anything useful? "
"What you really want to ask is your servant, right?"
The hunter sneered.
She slapped the table and stood up, pointed her finger at the warlock's nose, and cursed:
"Who do you think caused this incident? The Albert Wesker you sent! He took away the assassins' sacred objects under their eyes, which directly triggered their worldwide siege and suppression. Fight back.
Just five minutes after he took the golden apple, that world activated the Isu device to hide them.
He would not regret his own death.
But he dragged 11 innocent people to be buried with him!
Those poor B-class personnel may not have realized what happened until they died, and they were trapped in that world and killed as pigs by the assassins who had been prepared. "
"Yes! That's right!"
The swordsman, who was lying on the sofa and groaning and looking weak, also shouted in support:
"During the time when the hunter was covering my escape, I kept jumping to get rid of those difficult assassin saints. The people you sent were really good. One person rushed into their grand temple and released the power of the virus.
He may have a high self-esteem and feel that one person can bring peace to the world.
But it turned out that he caused trouble that he couldn't solve by himself. He alerted the guardian demigod of that temple, the one who cut me half to death!
Ahem, of course, I can’t beat her!
The main reason is that I was blinded by the light cannon at the beginning. In short, you must bear at least one-third of the responsibility for my injuries! If you don't pay compensation, I won't leave in your meditation room. "
The accusations made by the two people made Mr. Warlock somewhat embarrassed.
He whispered:
"As far as I know, Wesker is not that reckless. There must be something going on that we don't know about. Didn't you also send someone to search for information?"
The warlock glanced at the hunter and said:
"Didn't your people find anything useful?"
"A group of B-level personnel died, an A-level member was also compensated, and a great mentor almost died in a foreign country. None of us found anything useful, but you still expect four C-level rookies to make a comeback? "
The hunter made a sarcastic snort and said:
"If even our C-class cannon fodder could do this, the stars would have unified the multiverse long ago. We are just exploring the sequence! Warlock, don't expect a group of explorers to do the work of the army.
The four rookies were almost scared to death.
If I hadn't jumped out of there with them at the last moment, they would have been captured alive. "
"Fine."
The warlock was a little unwilling.
But the matter has reached this point. Unless the coordinates of the Assassin's World can be retrieved and someone is sent in, what happened there will really become an unsolved mystery.
As for whether hunters and swordsmen would join forces to deceive themselves to hide some secrets, the warlock has never considered this possibility at all.
The swordsman is famous for being brainless, while the hunter is a senior pervert who has been pretending to be a man for more than ten years. The two have disliked each other for a long time.
In fact, Warlock felt that his main task in the Stars Association was to coordinate the conflicts between the two of them so that they would not fight at every meeting.
"I'm going to coordinate my personnel and assign them to patrol."
The hunter stood up and said:
"But after Wesker committed suicide, he left the seat vacant."
"I'm injured, and it's a work-related injury!"
The swordsman coughed, raised his hand and said:
"I think that seat should go to me. I have so many capable people and strangers who are all trying to climb up."
"You already owe me your life, and you want to owe me another favor?"
The hunter said quietly:
"And look at what kind of lunatic you recommend over and over again! That guy named Wade Wilson is annoying people to death. Every time we have a meeting, I can't help but want to stab him! Or talk to him incessantly. Sew his mouth shut!"
"Well"
The swordsman was choked and speechless, so he could only wave his hands reluctantly and said:
"Okay, okay, it's yours. What happened to Wade was just an accident. Who knew that guy was so lucky that he could win the lottery three times in a row? I didn't want to either."
"This incident made me realize that it would be difficult to do many things without my own faction, so I want to arrange for one of my people to enter the Twelve-person Council."
The hunter glanced at the gloomy warlock and said:
"I will compensate you for this seat, Warlock."
“That parliament is meant to balance the forces of all parties, but the three of us all know that the division of seats represents the power behind us to have a say in developing this aspect.”
The Warlock had no objection, after all, his faction had the most seats in the Twelve-member Council.
He just reminded:
"The forces behind you have always been mysterious, Hunter. If they want to come to the forefront, they'd better report to the council headquarters in advance. I don't want to cause any disputes with the upper class."
"Um."
The hunter nodded, turned and left.
When she returned to her office, she was about to take off her mask when she suddenly saw a dark red crack floating behind her. She glanced back and saw the sickly swordsman stepping out of it.
She looked at the hunter and said nothing nonsense. She threw out a key with a devil's head carved on it, put her hands on her hips and said to the hunter:
"This is the key to my treasure house. It's all yours! I want something in your hand."
"what would you like?"
The hunter asked in surprise.
Then I heard the swordsman snap his fingers and say:
"I'm in need of a bed warmer recently. I think your pretty boy named Mason Cooper is pretty good, so give him to me."
This request made the hunter narrow her eyes, then she shook her head and said:
"Sorry, this is not for sale."
"I will add twelve more vassal worlds, all of which are C-level and have special resources. They will definitely satisfy the forces behind you."
The swordsman, like those bidding at the auction, said:
"We were 'fighting side by side' just now. To be honest, I have no interest in the world of assassins or Isu knowledge at all. It's your business to argue as much as you like.
I just want Mason Cooper.
If you don't give him to me, I'll tell the warlock everything I know.
You see, now that I am your potential friend, hunter, you don’t want to see me siding with the warlock, do you?
And I know a lot of things. For example, your afterlife team has been secretly supporting the resistance forces and liquidators in many worlds.
You traitor! "
"Shh, be careful what you say."
The hunter put his fingers on the swordsman's mask. She stopped pretending and warned in a woman's voice:
"It's not your turn to tell me whether I'm a traitor or not. If you want to tell the warlock, just tell him. Don't threaten me. I won't accept this.
Besides, you have a lot of dirty information, Liana.
You have been secretly collecting mutants from various worlds to prevent them from joining the stars. What are you planning to do? You also concentrated them in a certain A-level world to protect them. Do you really think you are doing this secretly? "
Having said this, the hunter coughed, approached the swordsman and whispered:
"Team Akers is someone you sent here, right? What do you want to do by placing an informant around me? To be honest, this kind of operation is not something that your brain can handle."
"Anna and the others really have nothing to do with me. We are from two systems. They hate me so much."
The swordsman rolled his eyes and said:
"I am also a puppet who is pushed to the front desk. I never care what the people behind me want to do. If you are so curious, why don't you ask Anna yourself?
Don't you trust her very much?
She also admires you so much that she starts to imitate your dress at home. In short, don’t talk about whether you have these things or not. Will you give it to that little guy Mason Cooper? "
"snort."
The hunter sneered and said:
"It's not non-negotiable if you want him. At least tell me why."
"I told you, I need a bed warmer, and that guy is pretty."
The swordsman curled his lips and said something.
The hunter glanced at her and said in a long voice:
"You are in need of a bed warmer, so I am not in need? Well, since you don't want to talk about it, let's stop this matter. That guy is the person I focus on training. If he dares to stretch out his claws, he will be chopped off by you.
If you don’t believe it, try it. "
The two women broke up because of a man, and the swordsman left the hunter's office a little annoyed.
She used her power to jump through seven worlds and finally arrived at her base world. Deep in the demon fortress in a standard hellscape, she grasped a crystal for cross-world communication.
When the light came on, she said to the other side:
"Professor, I may have found another one for that matter."
