I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 632 Get in the Car, Yulia

If it hadn’t actually happened to him, even Wang Lan himself wouldn’t believe it. After recording his statement, Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu were put up in a designated hotel. Wang Lan sat on the sofa, scratching his chin with a conflicted expression.

"Still thinking about what happened this afternoon?"

"It’s just so unbelievable! All over a few gold bars? And what’s the deal with that Angel? Judging from the collective headshot of those men in black, one could guess it was the work of Paradise Bird. But isn’t the way Paradise Bird operates a bit strange? And since when does Paradise Bird have such an expert? That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not saying Paradise Bird can’t hide its strength, but if they had such an expert, they could have sent them out during one of the earlier times the Time-Space Gemstone was activated. As long as they could have stopped me, they would have succeeded."

"The whole thing is riddled with oddities, but since it’s a Paradise Bird operation, it was right to thwart their plans."

"It’s frustrating enough to encounter an expert who can turn into a bird-man, but what’s even more frustrating is that this bird-man uses such formidable strength to rob a few gold bars. The whole street was torn apart, and we still couldn’t capture that bird-man—that’s upsetting enough. But what’s more vexing is that I’m actually suspected of having known the intel beforehand, as if my trip to White Eagle Country was some damn mission! Xinyu, all we wanted was to have a holiday, just the two of us—is that so hard?"

"To say this has nothing to do with us... forget them not believing it, even I’m starting to have my doubts," Jiang Xinyu replied jokingly, walking up behind Wang Lan and gently massaging his shoulders. "Forget it, we’re just here to travel; let them believe what they want. At worst, they’ll just deport us. Anyway, we’ve already toured half of White Eagle Country."

「Meanwhile, at CAI headquarters, the person in charge had just connected with the International Security Council.」 It was confirmed that Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu were purely there for tourism. Leo personally assured him that they definitely had not received any mission. As for the mysterious expert encountered in White Eagle Country, the International Security Council had also never received any intel. It was an unexpected event, a coincidence, though the outcome of this coincidence was rather messy. In the words of White Eagle Country’s officials, it would have been better to let them steal the Gold; the damage caused by the two fighters was far greater than the value of the Gold.

"This is just a coincidence; Mr. Wang Lan was indeed here for leisure."

"So, should we remove surveillance on them?"

"Why remove it? Notify him tomorrow that he can leave, preferably leave White Eagle Country. By the way, is the analysis of that Angel’s blood sample complete? What exactly are its components?"

"The analysis is complete. Its blood components are identical to those of humans. The golden appearance is due to a variation in the coloration of the red blood cells..."

"So you’re saying, Angels are just humans?"

"Yes, just humans. Our DNA database doesn’t have the individual’s data. According to procedure, we should back up a copy to send to the International Security Council."

"Right, send it over. I hope that Angel has left White Eagle Country. Still, I just don’t understand why they chose White Eagle Country of all places. The world has so many countries."

"Perhaps... it’s because we have the largest Gold reserves."

「That very night, White Eagle Country transmitted the analysis data of the Angel’s blood sample to the International Security Council.」 The International Security Council routinely archived it; after all, such a powerful being, if hostile to humans, could cause a huge disaster wherever it went.

"We have results for the blood sample comparison."

What? Leo was stunned. He had just routinely archived the data, never imagining the blood sample would yield a match. An Angel is supposed to be a completely new species, isn’t it? And no blood samples were left behind the last time a Fallen Angel appeared!

But as soon as Leo input the data into the central computer, it signaled a match, indicating that data about Angels had already been recorded in the system’s database. Leo, with an incredulous look, opened the match result, and his expression changed drastically.

How is this possible...

Looking at Yulia’s identity information displayed on the screen, Leo couldn’t believe his eyes. Yulia, the new Saintess of God’s Country, is actually a member of Paradise Bird? Joining Paradise Bird is one thing, but to rob Gold in White Eagle Country? Have some shame! Is God’s Country facing such a dire financial crisis that they need to resort to robbery to make ends meet?

It took Leo a long while to regain his composure. He quickly stepped over to the secure phone.

"Get me a line to God’s Country."

"Connecting to God’s Country..."

"Hello, I am the Bishop of Divine Grace from God’s Country. How may I assist you, Commissioner Leo?"

"I would like to ask, where is Saintess Yulia currently?"

"Since the battle a year ago, Saintess Yulia has been in seclusion most of the time. She is currently in seclusion. Do you require me to contact Saintess Yulia?"

"Yes, please inform her that there is a tricky mission requiring her and the Primeval Team, and she needs to report to headquarters as soon as possible."

"Mr. Leo, she is our Saintess of God’s Country." The Bishop of Divine Grace’s face showed a hint of displeasure. Clearly, the Saintess’s status was above that of an International Security Council Level Six agent, and Yulia could completely ignore the International Security Council’s orders.

"Are you trying to... refuse on Yulia’s behalf?" Leo asked, his voice steady.

This remark made the Bishop’s face pale. Refusing an assignment from the International Security Council could lead to dismissal. While dismissal might not mean much to Yulia, it wasn’t a decision he could make for her.

"All right, I will convey this matter."

"Good. Yulia has one hour to consider. If she doesn’t appear at headquarters before ten o’clock tomorrow morning, it will be considered a refusal."

After hanging up the video call, Leo’s brows were knotted even tighter. The usual laid-back Leo was nowhere to be seen. After all, who among the members of the International Security Council was truly clueless?

Pulling out his phone, he called Wang Lan.

"Hello, Fire Phoenix, hope I’m not disturbing your sweet dreams?" Leo’s voice rang out.

Wang Lan squinted at the clock beside his bed. "What do you think?" A voice tinged with killing intent came from the other end of the phone.

"Alright, alright, I get it; you should have finished your... activities by now. But I think you need to get up and head back to headquarters immediately."

"What’s happened? Is it something serious?"

"Serious is an understatement; it’s a disaster. The Angel you fought today—we actually got a match on the blood sample."

"Yulia?" Wang Lan uttered the name indifferently.

"..." Silence on Leo’s end. Wang Lan held the phone away from his ear for a moment. Before long, a string of curses erupted from the other end of the phone.

After waiting a while, Wang Lan brought the phone back to his ear.

"Wang Lan, you knew all along, didn’t you? You recognized her during the fight, didn’t you?"

"You’re wronging me there; I didn’t recognize her. I only guessed it after you told me about the match. That Angel’s fighting style is very similar to the Star Martial Skill of God’s Country. Even if she used a brand-new Star Martial Skill, her style wouldn’t change. Especially at the end, when she used Holy Light Guardian! There aren’t many in the world with such strength, able to fight me to a draw, and also proficient in the Star Martial Skill of God’s Country—it could only be Yulia. Of course, I don’t believe Yulia would do such a thing, but if you tell me the database matched her information, then it has to be Yulia."

"I’ve already notified Yulia to report to headquarters at ten o’clock tomorrow morning. If she doesn’t show, I’ll have no choice but to send you and a few other S-class teams to apprehend her."

"Okay, okay," Wang Lan sighed. "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. Call me when Yulia is about to arrive tomorrow."

"You’re not getting up immediately?"

"Leo, I have Space Movement. Space Movement. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP."

「In the Palace of the Saintess in God’s Country, Yulia, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes.」

A troublesome task? Requiring me and Wang Lan to team up? I haven’t heard about any major incidents. Could it be another Time-Space Gemstone has appeared?

"The International Security Council didn’t specify. Should I refuse on your behalf? If so, I’ll respond to them right now."

"No, I’ll go."

"Yulia, you are now the Saintess of God’s Country, the second leader of God’s Country."

"I know. But do you think a task that requires me would be simple? If they need me, then this task must have a direct impact on human civilization. Book the plane ticket immediately."

「Wang Lan slept until dawn; his phone never rang.」 He gently caressed Jiang Xinyu, who was still in his embrace. She murmured sleepily, and Wang Lan nearly let out a primal howl.

"Time to get up. We need to head back to headquarters immediately."

"Oh."

They got out of bed and quickly washed up. Wang Lan put his arm around Jiang Xinyu. WHOOSH! They both vanished.

Planes couldn’t land directly at the International Security Council Headquarters; one had to take a car. However, as a Level Six agent of the International Security Council, Yulia still had considerable standing. The welcoming party was not only large but also included six S-class independent teams.

Yulia slowly removed her sunglasses, her expression somewhat gloomy as she looked at the agents gradually surrounding her.

"I need an explanation."

"Sorry, we are just following orders."

Suddenly, a surge of power erupted. Bathed in Holy Light, Yulia’s terrifying aura swept out, stirring the clouds in the sky. Space warped slightly, the ground trembled faintly; a battle was imminent.

"Yulia, I hope you won’t do that," Wilson’s voice cut in. "Even if you break through our encirclement, you won’t be able to escape."

"I said, I need an explanation," Yulia demanded, her voice still icy.

Yulia could accept anything, except betrayal.

SCREECH— A car executed an elegant drift, tires protesting as it stopped sharply on the outskirts of the crowd. The doors opened, and Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu stepped out.

Seeing Wang Lan, Yulia’s brows furrowed again. The aura around her slowly dissipated, and she calmly watched Wang Lan approach.

"Are you here to capture me too?"

"Do you trust me?" Wang Lan asked calmly.

"Even you’re here to capture me. It seems I really did something... But even if I have to die, I should at least know why, right?"

"Let’s talk back at headquarters."

An agent took out a pair of Star Power Suppression Handcuffs, but Wang Lan stopped him with a gesture.

"No need for those. I’ll be responsible for escorting her. She won’t resist. Besides, these wouldn’t hold her anyway."

Wang Lan’s words carried conviction. The agent nodded and backed away.

"Yulia, get in the car."
