Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 722: Section 717 - The Worst Case Scenario
Princess Lin Ziyu hesitated and said, "History has already changed, the 'Prophecy' should... no longer be accurate, right?"
Of course, she didn't want anything to happen to her own father.
"I think so too."
Shen Fei also didn't want the "Lord of the Sky" to have any accidents.
Just as the extraterrestrial race "Sagali" was preparing to launch another invasion, both Cangqiong Star and Blue Star needed a hero who could rally countless followers with a call to arms; the "Lord of the Sky" was probably the most suitable candidate.
"Exactly, it's better if the 'Prophecy' does not come true, otherwise it would be a big trouble."
Chen Fei's scalp tingled; the Prophecy of the big shots was truly terrifying, but the deeper he delved into various signs, the less he wanted to see the events of the "Prophecy" come true.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Fei did not hesitate to risk his life to accompany the big shot, as the end of Blue Star civilization concerned everyone, and no one could escape unscathed.
There's a saying that when the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, but now even the tall people are like clay Buddhas crossing a river, barely able to save themselves, let alone the people underneath who might suffer at any moment. Nowadays, an injury or loss of a hundred or so people hardly counts as anything.
Louis Landon left in a hurry, not staying to personally verify the success of the "Spatial Branding," a project that assembled more than a dozen supernatural power users. Perhaps he had advanced knowledge of the major news about to break and rushed back to Blue Star to handle related affairs.
Chen Fei, Shen Fei, and Princess Lin Ziyu all fell into an unspoken great terror simultaneously.
A ring of a telephone sounded.
"It's not mine."
Shen Fei recognized it was not her own ringtone.
"Yours!"
Princess Lin Ziyu looked toward Chen Fei; it wasn't hers either.
Checking the phone's screen, Chen Fei's brows furrowed. The caller ID showed Miyoshi Xuesen, and when they called each other, it often wasn't good news.
"Miyoshi, what's wrong?"
Chen Fei's tone was somewhat less courteous.
This damned monk calling at this critical moment certainly wouldn't be bearing good news.
"Xia Ji's biological sample data has been received; it's not a clone, it's the original, but..." Miyoshi Monk hesitated for a moment before saying, "This result is no longer important."
"What?"
Chen Fei could hardly believe his ears; it seemed like his efforts on Cangqiong Star had been in vain.
"The worst has happened."
The monk seemed to be swallowing hard, forcibly suppressing the tumultuous emotions inside.
He had to make this call to Chen Fei, to prevent the young man from falling into a pit, as they were currently on the same side, even if one was serving full-time and the other part-time, in essence, there was no difference.
"What?"
Here it comes! That familiar feeling, Chen Fei still couldn't help but ask.
"The leader of the 'Water Bear' organization... is the 'Lord of the Sky,' Lin Mo!"
Miyoshi Xuesen's teeth were chattering, despite being accustomed to big storms, he still couldn't help but lose composure at this moment.
The common enemy of Blue Star Humans, the "Water Bear" organization that conducted illegal research on mutants, was actually controlled by the living legend who fought against the Extraterrestrial Races and subdued the Three Realms, the "Lord of the Sky."
This kind of shocking revelation was not something anyone would easily believe.
But the person delivering these words was Miyoshi Xuesen, given the nature of his job, it would be impossible for him to speak irresponsibly without evidence.
Chen Fei was silent.
He remembered the words Xia Ji had said before dying; he was the original, not a clone daring to commit a huge sin under the heavens.
As the saying goes, the words of the dying are good, and the last words before death are mostly…
It's crazy!
Indeed, the worst had happened!
Chen Fei truly did not want to receive this call from Miyoshi the Monk. It was not just trouble, it was a tremendous headache, and his powerless little tricks were simply not enough to HOLD it.
So Blue Star Sovereignty's action against the "Lord of the Sky" was completely justified and executed with remarkable speed and decisiveness, without any hesitation.
"'Rookie,' you are a Chen Family Disciple; you must be careful. I can't say more, take care!"
Click! Before Chen Fei could speak, the monk had already hung up the phone first, the urgency in his voice suggesting that he was not very willing to make the call, but he decided to make it out of some kind of sentiment.
Well, that's... thank you very much!
At this moment, Chen Fei almost wished he could twist off the other person's head.
However, the other person's last words were correct; he was a Chen Family Disciple, and the Chen Family Gate had a close relationship with the "Lord of the Sky." Even if he didn't want to step into this muddy water, it would probably be inevitable.
Seeing Chen Fei put away his phone with a troubled face, Shen Fei, as his girlfriend, asked with concern, "Chen Fei, what's wrong? Bad news?"
"Yeah, bad news, really bad news!"
Chen Fei nodded heavily, shifting his gaze to Princess Lin Ziyu, who was also looking at him with concern, and said, "It's related to you too."

The Chen Family was closely related to the "Lord of the Sky," but Her Royal Highness the Princess had the "Lord of the Sky's" blood running through her veins even more so.
"Me?"
Princess Lin Ziyu pointed at herself in surprise.
"The leader of the 'Water Bear' organization has been definitively exposed!"
Chen Fei, considering the fake role that Her Royal Highness the Princess was currently playing, did not directly reveal their connection.
Miyoshi Monk had made this phone call specifically to inform him, and though he didn't state the specifics, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee wouldn't beat around the bush unnecessarily; even without irrefutable proof, the evidence was likely close.
Looking back, Xia Ji was not the first to accuse the "Master of the Firmament," rather, there had been premonitions.
Only an international organization like the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee had the strength to trace the matter to its source and uncover the truth, as the sovereignty of smaller entities was insufficient.
Thus, some of the strange incidents that had occurred within the 'Water Bear' organization and to its members found a reasonable source: such a major figure could effortlessly free people like Xia Ji from Heavy Prison and simultaneously incite mutant frenzies to attack the headquarters of the Global United Defense Committee in Hablav City.
"What?"
Princess Lin Ziyu could hardly believe her ears.
Although Chen Fei did not spell it out, she knew exactly who he was referring to.
The behind-the-scenes mastermind of the "Water Bear" organization that had thrown Blue Star into chaos turned out to be the "Master of the Firmament," a hero well-known in two civilizations, a living legend thought to be against humanity. The truth was incredibly subversive.
"This, this can't be possible, right?"
The tone of Her Royal Highness the Princess and what was in her heart was exactly the same as when Chen Fei first heard this astonishing news from Miyoshi Monk.
"The information comes from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, leaked to me by an internal professional," Chen Fei said, without revealing the source—after all, Miyoshi Monk was only a temporary collaborator.
The man was generous, and the reward was very satisfying. The good karma was worth continuing; there was no need to sell him out now.
"Trouble, big trouble!"
Princess Lin Ziyu lowered her head, muttering to herself.
Some things, when put together, can trigger a chain reaction that spirals out of control.
As the child of the "Master of the Firmament," she had to anticipate the potential situations she would soon face.
After a moment of silence, Princess Lin Ziyu raised her head and hurriedly said to Chen Fei, "I apologize, I must return to Cangqiong Star through other channels, I can no longer accompany you…"
Heading outside of the Protective Barrier was definitely not an option, as that would mean walking straight into the hands of the Rebel Army; the only way was to use the Ground Portal Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City to reach Blue Star and then use another portal there to return to Cangqiong Star, thereby completely avoiding the Rebel Army's controlled area.
"I understand!"
Chen Fei raised his hand, stopping her from further explaining.
"As long as you understand," the Princess said, gazing deeply at Chen Fei, "Take care!"
She then reached out to take the Little Bird bodyguard from her shoulder and handed it back to Chen Fei; she didn't need it anymore.
Now that the court had a common enemy, factions had no choice but to band together to suppress the rebellion on Zhai Liuzhou, so the Princess, for now, was safe.
Princess Lin Ziyu backed away a few steps and then turned to leave.
Three to five people followed behind her, and soon, more and more people joined her, their entourage nearly rivaling the private security team of big shot Louis Landon.
In the first batch of evacuees, there were clearly many who served the Slan Royal Family now revealed, and perhaps others still hidden in the shadows.
Watching the group head deeper into the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, Shen Fei asked Chen Fei with unsettled suspicion, "Could Agent Yu be some sort of important big shot?"
Only now did she begin to doubt the identity of the female Investigative Agent, surrounded by so many people yet so composed and nonchalant, clearly the demeanor of a high-powered individual.
Before this, Teacher Shen hadn't thought in that direction since Her Royal Highness the Princess, disguised as an agent from the Imperial Security Department, had played her role flawlessly, revealing nothing. Now, with doubts arising, she became more suspicious.
"Yes! Even more badass than Mr. Randon," Chen Fei replied; with many onlookers, it was not wise to speak freely, so he gave a comparative example to hint to Shen Fei.
"Ah?!"
Teacher Shen gasped, and then she drew a sharp breath.
As the richest and most powerful tycoon on Blue Star, Louis Landon, the CEO of Louis Industries, had influence and social status second only to the head of sovereignty, and even a smaller sovereign entity had to behave deferentially toward him.
If there were someone above him, on Cangqiong Star, there could only be one truth...
"Shh!"
Chen Fei raised his index finger to his lips, and then slowly shook his head.
That was where the speculation had to stop; it wasn't appropriate to speak aloud in this situation.
"How could she be with you?" Shen Fei asked, puzzled.
How could such a prominent person mix with Chen Fei and come to Zhai Liuzhou, where warfare was erupting? Wasn't she afraid of walking into a danger zone?
"Well, on official business, the contract isn't finished yet, and there's a new mission. On a personal note, after all, my surname is Chen too; it's only natural for us to look out for each other," Chen Fei further confirmed Teacher Shen's speculation.
He had earlier received a contract to protect a Princess of the Slan Dynasty, and now that the contract was ongoing, it was nearly self-evident who he was protecting at the moment.
