Chapter 980: Chapter 753: Excuse Me, Sir… Is Your Surname Mu?
Considering the fat man’s abilities, the final plan is instead to set Harry’s destination as the final gathering point.
Which means having the fat man skip the transit link.
Mu Fan had a hunch that some forces might be watching the movements of his companions, and now the fat man’s encounter… turned out to be a testament to that.
However, as to exactly who sent people, there is currently no conclusion.
The Military Department, the government, elite families, and even some underground forces with existing grudges are all possibilities.
Both Harry and Yin Shuai could be targeted by the other party, but their confident demeanor at the time added some humor and filled Mu Fan’s heart with quite a bit of emotion.
This matter is a personal affair, the fewer people involved the better.
Moreover, regarding such events as auctions, White Hair and the fat man have much more experience than himself.
In fact, White Hair somewhat regrettably mentioned that mysterious guy Gu Yunyou, but that super wealthy second-generation was always as elusive as a dragon, and it seems that he hasn’t really integrated into their small group yet.
The War Armor “Dragon Rider”, this seemingly distant term, unexpectedly presented itself naturally, and it seemed to relate to some secrets of Instructor Mohandas.
In a daze, Mu Fan recalled the scenes when he was repeatedly killed in training by the instructor in the PO Battle Net.
The number of people in the first-class cabin was slightly more than in the premium cabin, but the passengers were relatively high-quality, and there was no excessive noise.
These people of the interstellar era, running for wealth and fame, were all burying their heads in their work.
Mu Fan gently stretched his body, his strength and experience decided that he was the least concerned about tracking and counter-tracking among the three.
With his powerful Spiritual Perception and instinctive warning, combined with Black’s pervasive network technology.
Fake identities, erase traces.
He quietly left the academy without alerting anyone.
And no one knew his purpose.
The separate actions of the three-person team inadvertently diverted a lot of attention from Mu Fan’s departure.
What he needed to do now was to quietly disembark from the spaceship, and then, with Black’s help, guide Harry to evade the opponent’s tracking.
And then the three of them would meet.
Mu Fan gradually sorted these things out in his mind, his thoughts instantly became clear.
“Excuse me, sir… is your surname Mu?”
Mu Fan, who was covered with a hat and contemplating with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a polite inquiry by his ear.
His ear twitched, he slowly took off his hat, and calmly looked at the man with a neatly trimmed mustache beside him, wearing a coffee-colored vest jacket, which made the man exude the elegant aura of a successful businessman.
At this moment, the other party spread a retro-feeling colored magazine with both hands, his eyes moved away from the magazine in front of him, looked at Mu Fan, then nodded and smiled slightly as a greeting.
Mu Fan could be sure that except for mentioning it to Instructor Bach a few days ago, he hadn’t told anyone else.
And now, the man with the elegantly dressed mustache beside him directly revealed his surname.
Then it is undoubtedly true, the other party already knows who he is!
The flash of danger appeared in Mu Fan’s eyes.
The fact that the other party chose such an open way to appear in front of him was undoubtedly a huge obstruction to his actions.
Moreover, this also meant that Mu Fan’s intelligence had a fatal oversight!
“Mr. Mu, I do not bear any malice.”
The soft voice entered Mu Fan’s ear, but Mu Fan could feel that this voice seemed to be confined to this area alone.
The other party is a master.
A master with no discernable signs of strength!
Mu Fan’s heart instantly heightened its vigilance to the extreme, but his gaze remained calm to the extreme.
“Please take a look at this magazine, sir.”
He handed the magazine in his hand friendly.
Mu Fan saw the other party’s actions, confirmed there were no danger warnings in his perception, looked at the other party, and took the magazine.
“Page 27.” The mustache man politely reminded, his tone very friendly.
Mu Fan’s index finger and thumb rubbed the thick coated paper, turned to page 27.
Then he saw a “paper” about the size of half a palm slide into his palm.
Mu Fan subconsciously caught it, feeling the touch of the “paper” with his fingertips.
Thin as cicada’s wings, yet tough as a bamboo slip.
A faint high-end engineering plastic matte texture… this was an ultra-thin ink screen.
The mustache man smiled, stopped speaking, and lowered his eyes again, extracting a book from the briefcase, his fingertip turned into a blur unintentionally sweeping over the pages of the book.
A line of text flashed on the ink screen in front of Mu Fan…
[I am from the Gardot Empire.]
Seeing this sentence, Mu Fan almost lost his composure.
This time he really couldn’t stay calm.
This spaceship had just taken off from Blue Capital Star, and now with the hostile relationship between the two superpowers, someone revealing his whereabouts suddenly claiming to be from the Gardot Empire, how could he stay calm?
However, it was absolutely not the time or place for Mu Fan to explode right now.
To smooth over the aftermath and prevent relations between Dingchuan Academy and the military and political circles from becoming strained, Thunderhawk was stationed at Ding Chuan.
For a covert operation, the most important part is the “secret” part.
So, he abandoned all external items that could expose his whereabouts.
So now, if Mu Fan encountered an attack from a High Tier mecha.
As long as the opponent could sink this ordinary cruise ship, he would die without a burial place. Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat covered Mu Fan’s back.
Even Black is in a state of high alert at this moment.
It is frantically retrieving the ticket information of this cruise ship at that time.
The information of this mustache man has also been retrieved, a traveler from the third Star District, all entry procedures are complete and flawless.
At present, there is not a single piece of information accessible to Black that can reveal any irregularities about this mustache man.
But the fact is, this mustache man is indeed suspicious!
In the instant when Mu Fan was pondering, the line of ink text existed for less than a second and disappeared without a trace.
“Excuse me sir, is your surname Mu?”
The mustache man asked again, seemingly obsessed with this question.
Hearing it again, Mu Fan looked up at the other party, internally filled with countless doubts, yet he just nodded calmly.
“Yes.”
“Then it is you.”
The mustache man turned his head with a friendly nod, seemingly very certain in his tone.
And Mu Fan could be sure that from the moment he answered, the other party’s attitude seemed even more… friendly?
“That scenery over there is nice, shall we discuss some stories about traditional adventure literature?” the mustache man asked Mu Fan with a smile, raising the other magazine he held.
Mu Fan could clearly see that there was an identical “ink paper” tucked between the pages of the other party’s magazine.
“Alright.”
Then the two of them got up and moved to a corner of the first-class cabin, where there was a comfortable woven carpet, a traditional bookshelf emitting a faint sandalwood scent, combined with the deep starry sky background, creating a particularly elegant and peaceful ambience.
…
Lin Wu was sitting in a spacious office, focused on processing documents.
The light red solid wood decor gave the room a particularly grand atmosphere, a faint sense of majesty could be felt simply by being in it.
At this moment, the three-meter-high arched, double-opening wooden door quietly opened a crack.
“Knock, knock.”
Two gentle knocks served as a greeting.
“Come in.”
The door opened silently, but…
There was no one there.
Yet Lin Wu remained unperturbed and said:
“You’re back?”
